The day temperatures have been

have been fairly well distributed and
moderate showers in the middle
west, and in the southern part of the
state, occurring for the most part on
the 22nd and 23rd. In other sections
rain is needed for corn, potatoes and
pastures. High winds on the 10th,
mainly in the southern tier OF coun-
ties, caused damage to small areas
Of standing grain, grain shocks, hay
stacks and buildings. Hail is re-
ported in Marshall and Mower coun-
ties, with some injury resulting. The
first spring wheat was cut on the
18th, and since then considerable has
been put In shock; harvest will be
general ON the 18th all over the
southern third of the state. In the
Red river valley the wheat heads
are filing well. and harvest IL ex-

A. w. Swanson, the editor OF the
ROyaltOn Banner, declares that the
Republicans will be Handicapped In
the race II Fuller is nominated for
the state senate. That editor further
declares that Fuller ought to be de.
feated If nominated by the Repub.
licans. Tie Republican ticket and
the Republican cause will be, handi'
capped this year. as in years past,
more by such assistant Democrats
as A. W. Swanson and the men he
serves than 1t can possibly be by any
nominations that are fairly made.
Swanson is now holding an office
under q Republican administration,
yet he never supported Republican
ticket entire, and the man who he is
urging for Republican nom'ntion
is in close political alliance with the
leading Democrats of the county.
Whatever influence Swanson has ia
always given in part to Democratic
candidates. and he assumes now to
say that he will not support the leg
islative ticket this year unless the
party choice is in accordance with
his views, No one man or set of
men can bulldoze the Republicans OF
Morrison county. The party has
never had the loyal cooperation Ut
Swanson in it's contests with Dem
ocracy. and probably never will.
His newspaper is this year the
chosen mouthpiece of c. B. Buchanan,
who for the fourth time is a candi.
da te for the state senate. That the
Banner will not support some other
Republican nominee than Mr.. Buck
man simply serves to place any loyal
Republicans who are supporting
Buchanan in mighty poor "Repub-
lican" company. By Swanson's dec
larations he has placed himself out
side the party in this senatorial fight.

CAMP ATKINSON, August 2.-More
than month has passed since Com
pany D left Wheeling and they are still
in their first camp. The men are an
xious for change Of location. the pref
erence, Of course, being for the front
and a chance to show their fighting
qualities. The bill Of lading for the
guns came yesterday, and the arrival
Of the springAelds is consequently ex-
pected daily, Il 10 generally believed
that soon after this important feature
Of the equipment Is provided the regi-
ment win leave for some point In the
east It Is known that Camp Alger Is
out Of the question on account Of the
prevalence OF typhoid fever there, and
It is thought probable that, In the
event Of peace the Second" will be
garrisoned az the new camp now being
established at Trenton, ". ]. This
move would be very acceptable TO the
boys, as the water at Camp Atkinson Is
not OF the best, and the Charleston
butchers and bakers seem to be unable
TO supply the large demands Of 1880
men with piomptRess and good food.
The bread is often sour and the meat
largely composed OF fat and bone. The
men bear Il well, but they cannot help
sighting for the daInties on home.
A reglmental band has been formed
from, musicians In the different COM
panlAs, and they are only waiting for
the arrival of the Instruments to begin
practice. Sergeant Kirby. the chief mu-
slcian, says he has first class lot Of

who will be able 70 play 0cceptabiy
right from the jump.
Captain Burns, the United States re-
cruiting officer, thinks very highly OF
the work and department Of the regt-
ment, and he has forwarded very fa-
Vorable report 10 the war department.
Whether or not this will result In our
getting any opportunity to go to the
front soon, remains to be seen.
The Y. N. c. A. has put up a large
tent in camp, where stationery and
magazines are furnished to the men.
There is also an organ in the tent which
Is literally patronized. The place is
much enjoyed by the boys, who throng
there from morning until night, except
at drills.
Major Henshaw, the Teglmental sur
geon, speaks highly OF the physical con-
ditIon and consequent availability for
drill shown by Company D. The heat
has been very trying all through July,
but not one OF the men has been absent
from drill for more than a day, and the
''slck report will compare very favor
ably with that OF any company in the
regiment.
Sparrlng is the popular pastime with
