weekly Crop BulIetin

r The following is the, official Bulletin
for the week ending Monday, June
18th, 1898: .'
& The. first and last parts of the week
were warmer than the middle part.
The were showers on the 9th, 10th and
11th, pretty we'll distributed, but
heavier and more general in the south
ern half of the state where the soil was
already fully supplied with moisture,
so that there, complaints are made
that the soil is SO wet that cultivation
is retarded, and that low lands are
either saturated or flooded. In the
northern half, the rainfall has been
light, and the soil is in excellent con-
dition. Wheat, oats and barley have
grown vigorously, and are very heavy.
In rich soils they are lodging, and
some farmers are moving the lodged
places to check the growth. Rust is
appearing in the wheat and barley in
scattered places, especially the low
lands, and unless dry weather comes
on, considerable loss by lodging and
rust is anticipated. Winter wheat is
fine, and it is headed out. Barley is
beginning to head in southern coun-
ties. Rye is past the blossom stage.
Flax seeding continues in the northern
counties, further south it is growing
we'll. Corn and potatoes growing rap
idly and with good stand. In large
portions of the south cultivation has
been prevented by wet weather. In
the north the hay prospect is not so
good as in the south, where there will
be q large crop. In souther counties,
clover is in bloom and timothy is
heading. Strawberries are being
marketed from Wabasha county, and
further north the general crop will be
ripe by the 10th.
Douglas County. The weather has
been very favorable, and all crops
have grown rapidly. Some fields are
lodging. Flax looks we'll, as does al
SO thecorn.
Stearns.-A cloudy and rainy week.
The cultivation of corn was prevented
by too much moisture. Potatoes just
being cultivated.

WESTERN TRAFFIC BUREAU.
Expense of Running 1t Is to Be
Reduced by the Roads.

CHICAGO, March 15.-The presidents
of the Western roads which are mem
bers of the Western Joint Traffic as
sociation held a meeting today for the
purpose Of considering the future Of
the organization. After some discus
sion it was decided that the matter
should be postponed until March o.
The feeling is growing among the
members of the bureau that the only
thing to do Is to transform the bureau
into a simple medium for the issuing of
rate sheets. AS the thing now stands
it is so expensive, in the opinion Of
many of the roads, that there is little
justification for keeping it up.
Ever since the PRONUNCIATION Of the
supreme court decision. which declared
that all organizations similar to that of
the Western Freight Traffic bureau
are illegal, the bureau has found it
impossible to maintain rates in any
part of it's territory.
There are ten commissioners drawing
large salaries, and. under existing cir
cumstances, they have little or nothing
to do. 1t Is proposed to reduce the
number Of these officials to one. There
is no complaint of the manner Of hand
ling the work of the bureau, but the
roads simply feel that they are pay
ing large sums Of money for some
thing which they cannot get as long
as the supreme court decision hangs
over them.
Some of the roads are advancing the
opinion that there will be trouble in
the rates if the bueau is wiped out of
existence, but there can hardly be more
trouble than there has been. The
bureau cannot maintain rates, and they
are not likely to become more democrat
lied after the organization has ceased
to exist than they are at the present
time

John Moshik's fertile mind has been
planning for the past month for liberty
The condemned murderer of John Lem
Ike. who will eXpiate his crime upon
the gallows Friday, has proved a sec
ond Harry Hayward. He tried to bribe
his guard, but the scheme fell through.
Guard William Peterson has been
discharged by Sheriff Phillips. Peter
son has been watching Moshik for
nearly three months. 1t was Peterson
whom Moshik almost killed in his des-
perate attempt to escape last January
Two weeks ago, or less, the watches
were shortened from twelve to eight
hours each, and two men were put on
guard during each watch.
About a week ago Peterson went to
his superiors and said that Moshik had
attempted to bride him. Upon being
questioned the prisoner admitted eV-
erything. it is said, and he said that
Peterson had agreed to liberate him
for $500. the amount Of the mortgage
on Petersons property. However. the
money was too much for Moshik to
raise. but he thought that he could get
5000. But the money was not forth
coming. and Peterson gave the plot
away in spite of his promise to Moshik
to forever keep it quiet.
The plot in detail Is as follows:
With a self-made saw Moshik has cut
out tnTee DafS IN MS cell nearest the
window in the Jail tower. The cuts
he had carefully filled with soap. so
that they could not be detected. At
the proper time, Moshik was to break
the bars, lift the window, which would
be unfastened for him, and let himself
down to the fourth floor by means OF
the sheet ropes which were found in
his cell recently. Then he was to es-
cape by the fourth floor. which is uh-
finished Plans of the floor We're to be
furnished him. Moshik is said to have
made the statement that he would new
err be captured alive.
When the scheme fell through the
prisoner naturally began to dislike his
guard. Sheriff Phillips has had the
matter under consideration, and let his
deputy out as easily as possible yester-
day.
The guard is also alleged to have
given the prisoner a considerable num-
Der Of matches, which the latter tried
to swallow. as we'll as cigar stumps.
as slow method Of killing himself.
However, Moshik's stomach could not
hold this foreign matter.

THEY RIDICULE IT,
Many People Ridicule The Idea
of an Absolute Cure For
Dyspepsia and Stom-
ach Troubles.
RidicuIe, HoWeUer, Is Not Argument, and
Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and
In many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be rad
deal. permanent cure for dyspepsia and
indigestion. Many such pride them
selves on never being humbugged eSpe-
Cially on medicines.
, This fear Of being humbugged may
,be carried too far; so far, in fact, that
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion, rather than risk lit
tile time and money in faithfully test
ing the claims Of a preparation so re-
liable and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
Spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cineS for the reason that they are not
q secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients, but analy-
sis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pep
sin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal,
bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, butt they cure
indigestion on the common sense plan
of dgesting the food eaten promptly,
thoroughly before it has time to fer
ment sour and cause the mischief This
is the only secret Of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely upon the
bowels. whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken af-
ter meals, digest the food. That Is all
there is to it. Food not digested or
half digested is poison, as it creates
gas. acidity. headaches, palpitation of
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite,
