Our Enemy-Rust.

There are few things that tax the
farmer more heavily than rust. 1t in
vades his stUrehouse, his barn and his
home. 1t is an invader that does not
delay it's attack, because the implement
is an expensive one. It's work is so
subtle that sometimes, before the farm
er really has come to think of it, his
high-priced machine is ruined If it
does not ruin the machine, it puts it
into such a shape that it requires hours
of hard labor to place it in a seryicea
Bile condition We remember one farm
er that used to so neglect his horse
rake. Every summer when haying time
came the cleaning of the horse
rake became an event The
teeth were mass of rust
from one end to the other. The
work of removing the rust was great.
The machine partly cleaned of rust was
nearly unserviceable, as the teeth re-
fused to drop their weight of hay. A
little work in the fall would have pre-
vented the rust. The teeth could have
been polished and covered with any of
several preparations that would have
kept off the rust. What is true of the
hay rake is true of most other tools.
They should be carefully examined and
covered with protective preparations.
By this time of year many of the tools
will have begun to show rust, especial
ly as this has been a very damp fall.
To remove the rgst now will be found
much less task than it will be three
months hence.

Forest Preservation.

Under this head the State Auditor
(and Forest Commissioner in his an
nual report, says: THE law for pre-
venting and eXtinguishing forest and
prairie fires has been in operation
practically for four years, and has met
reasonable expectations. During this
period Minnesota has been free from
such serious forest fires as have oc-
cured in neighboring states. Of
course it needs no law to make people
turn out to save their own or neigh,
bors' property from fire, but the bene,
fit of the fire warden law is especially
apparent in cases where a forest fire
may have been set in a remote or
sparseIy-settled locality, in a dry sea-
son, and which but for the prompt at
tention of fire Wardens might prove
disastrous. The leading object of the
law also is to prevent dangerous forest
or prairie fires from being set. Pre-
vention, indeed, is it's leading principle
Not only does the fire warden law tend
to prevent such a catastrophe rs Oc-
Cured at Hinckley in 1894, but by
helping to save the young growth of
timber, it tends to prolong our import
ant lumber industry"

Kansas Woman Loses n Fortune for
the Man She Loves.
WICHITA, Aug. Miss Agnes Derry
values Private John Kenny, Twentieth
Kansas hero, at more than $4,000 She
has relinQuished that sum in order that
she may become the wife of the crippled
soldier boy who followed the fortunes of
the intrepid Funston in the Philippines
Kenny came home Thursday and found
his sweetheart faithful to him and they
will shortly be married
Considering the hardships Miss Dervy
has undergone, there is no wonder that
she has not given him up long ago When
Private Kenny enlisted and went away
the girls father heard that they were to
be married when he came back, so he
sent the girl away, and no one knew her
address, that the soldier in far-aWay
lands might not know but that she had
committed suicide, deserted him or mar
ried another
But finally Miss Derry escaped from
her watchers and wrote a letter to the
soldier, telling him all about her troubles
Then came long letter from him, which
the father captured. He went to his
daughter and told her she would be
thrown out of his house unless she quit
writing to Kenny, and if they were mar
ried he would disinherit her. But this
did no good. They kept up communica-
ton, and lately the old man died. The
girl is cut off in his will if she marries
Kenny, who is wounded and unable to
earn a living. The fortune she will lose
is over $4,000, but the engagement of the
couple has been announced just the same.

A petition signed by large number Of
bieyclists will be presented to the park
board at its next meeting, asking that the
project be considered of permitting the
use of a portion of one of the boulevar DIS

way that reservations have been made
III favor of those owning fast horses.
What the wheelmen will ask Is that a
portion of one of the boulevards be set
apart for cycle speeding a few hours
every day. The suggestion is that Lake
of the Isles affords the best opportunity
for such speedway, as it is very little
used during the afternoon, say between
and o'clock. At those hours prac-
tically all the travel is toward Harriet
and Calhoun, which lakes have inject
car facilities and other attractions that
are lacking IN Lake of the Isles.
Chicago has built a track in one of the
parks for just this purpose, The speed

WE'RE IN BAD SHAPE.
Spanish Generals Tell of the Sur
render of Santiago.


MADRID, Aug. 1.-The second session
of the court-martial of Gems Toral and
Pareja, who are charged with surrender
ing Santiago de Cuba to the Americans
without having exhausted all means of
defense, took place today
Gen. Pareja, in his defense, said the
garrison of the city Of Santiago de Cuba
lacked food, many of the soldiers having
died of hunger. Previously however, he
added, the troops fought bravely and
many officers and men were killed. In
addition, the hospitals lacked medicines
The general read several kilograms ex-
changed between the authorities at
Washington and Maj. Cen Shafter, the
latter showing himself confident of fore
ing the surrender of Santiago de Cuba
Gen. Toral made a similar defense He
said Santiago de Cuba was defenseless,
and that it was impossible to hold out
longer. He read a telegram sent him by
Capt. Gen. Blanco who, after consulting
with the authorities at Madrid, approved
of the capitulation
Another Spanish officer testified that
when he entered Santiago he found
three-quarters of the troops sick
Gen. Rubi gave testimony to the effect
that further resistance would have been
equivalent to the death of the remainder
of the troops.

LAND OFFICE BUSINESS.
That's What They Did at ST. Cloud
Last Month.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Aug. 1.-The officers
OF the United States land Office have re-
ceived advices from the commissioner of
the general land office, Washington, to
the effect that he has declined to accept
the application of A. A. White to file
traders script ON the Cass lake disputed
townsite. The application was made here
and while the register and, receiver had
little doubt, they forwarded it to Wash
ington for a ruling. ,Their views were
found to be held correct by the depart
ment.
The receipts of the land office for the
month of July were the largest of any
single month since the days of the great
pine land sales In the seventies, and
eighties. The total was s21.737 and the
large proportion of this sum came from
the Ireland lands in Traverse county,
which had some months ago been held
to belong to the general government in
stead of Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul
Occupants are now buying in the lands

are: First class, $185; second class $50;
but these will probably be reduced one

The ground upon which tho city is built
is being drained $4,000 having been spent
on this work There are several hun
bred destitute persons IN Dawson, who
want to get out OF the country and have
not the mes u.s.
The city is overcrowded at present,
most of the work on the mines having
ceased for the season, and the gambling
fraternity and saloons are reaping rich
harvests. AT the junction of Eldorado
and Bonanza creeks, fourteen miles from
here, quite a town has sprung up stree
last year, chiefly composed of gambling
houses. All sorts and conditions of men
are found in this country-dOctors, law
yers, Notwithstanding at anything
they can find TO do. At one gambling
table there sat recently four men, three
of whom had been chiefs of police in
cities in the United States, and the fourth
a welI-kEown Finkerton detective. The
authorities are now filming the gambling
houses, however; and in spite of all the
drinking, etc, order prevails. Dawson is
comparatively quiet and safe, and the
laws are enforced.
