WHY DEWEY OABLED.
Explanation FaunI la til" !srriVnI
German Cruisrr sSuisertH Au-- Uhtn.

Washington, Feb. u. - With the ar
| rival OF the German cruiser haiSr fln
Augusta ut Manila and the reports Of
hllbustering eXpedit ems from Japan IN
he interest of Aguinado there is well
| defined suspicion in the pubic NINA
lere that the political reasons" of 40
miral Dewey for desiring the Oregon
must be interpreted in the broadcast
sense--that her presence is desired az
much for the moral effect in preventing
'oreiSn interference as in bringing the
| insurgents to terms.
Rear Admiral Dewey's only dispatch
% the navy department was one of the
| usually happy messages he sends. 1t
told of the peaceful occupation OF Cebu
| by the Petrol. This message was con-
| lrmed by General Otis. who cabled to
the war department as follows:
"Conditi0n of affairs quiet. Progress
ing favorably. Anxiety need not he felt
in regard to the situation. VIII send
small body of troops to Cebu, where
navy took quiet possession. OTIS"
The anxiety of the officials has reach
ed such point that there is no further
doubt that Rear Admiral Dewey will be
asked to submit an explanation. The
meeting of foreign consuls on Friday,
followed by Admiral Dewey's request
for the Oregon, Is regarded as highly
significant, but in the official dispatches
there is no connection of the two Incl
dents, and, in fact. the authorities de-
clare they have not been advised that
the foreign consuls did confer.
The statement that Admiral Dewey's
dispatch came in open English is an
error. The department received from
him two dispatches on Friday, one re-
lating to the arrival of the Yorktown.
which was in plain English, and the
other relative to the Oregon. which was
in the navy cipher. 1t was not intended
that this dispatch should have been Civ
en- publicity. but in the haste of prepa-
ration of matter to go before the cabinet
it escaped close scrutiny on the part of
Secretary Long and was permitted to
reach the press along with the other
current routine dispatches.

WALNUT GROVE.

THE GAZETTE 81 per year.
G. A. Scott is adding store build
ing to the many Improvements in
Walnut Grove this year, and already
has the foundation been laid.
Rev. H. J. jaeger was in Johnsonville
week ago Sunday and organized
Union Sunday school in the Marvin
district on that day, the enrolment for
the first day being over 35. Last Sun
day the attendance was considerably
larger.
J.F. Dahlgren is erecting hand
some addition to his farm residence in
Johnsonville township, Thos. Lieden-
Der is building hew granary on his
farm in Gales while one of the Carl
sous is making extensive building inn
provements on his farm north of town,
according to the reports of the local
lumber dealers.
Walnut Grove will have one of the
best July 4th celebrations in this Sec
ton of Minnesota this year. Over $500
has been raised to defray the expenses
of this public entertainment, and all
of the various committees are report
ing rapid progress towards the con-
summation of their particular portion OF
the programme. F. F. Golf will be
officer of the day, while c. T. Howard
! of Redwood Falls will deliver the
oration.
]. G. Dahms of the Walnut Grove
mill has just received an immense gaso-
line tank, having capacity of nearly
1000 gallons, or slightly larger than the
average tank on car, and be will
hereafter purchase his gasoline for the
use of his engine in the mill, in carload
quantities, and have the same trans
ferred to the new tank. This is one OF
many Improvements Mr.. Dahms has
been making to the milling property in
which he is interested and which is do
ing so much for Walnut Grove.
The con tractors on the water works
system for fire protection only are
rushing the work as rapidly as the
weather will permit, and the main has
been run down the principal business
street for a distance of a couple o.
blocks already. The diggers find water
in the trenches at the depth of six feet
and it is necessary to pump this out al
intervals. The masons are now en-
gagged in laying their piers from which
the tower is to be anchored, and also t.
get the engine room in shape. The
pumping engine will be of the gasoline
kind. The fact that Walnut Grove i:
located in the artesian basin, severa
flowing wells having already been 10
Gated, makes the secu ring Of water I
very easy matter.

A PRETTY COUNTY.
Something About 1t. the Mustard
Fields and a Residence.

Were it not for the yellow fields
scattered over the prairies Red
wood county to-day would be the
fairest county on earth. The coun-
ty has more tillable land, more ex-
cellent pasturage, more superb
groves for the age Of the county,
more beautiful farm homes than any
other county in Southwestern Min
nesota. Take ride over it, and
see how easy it is to fall in love
with the fertile fields, the beautiful
meadows, the groves and the farm
houses
The mustard, the curse Of many
counties in the State, is in evi-
dence. however, and in number of
fields the stand is so thick that to-
day it is impossible to see the grow
ing grain on account Of it. In some
of these fields the mustard pickers
could be seen, but in the heaviest
growth the farmers had apparent
ly given up hope this year, with a
determination to root out the noxious
weed by the planting of corn or
timothy grass next year. In this
connection it is we'll to state that a
number of farmers, not able to do
more, are working at the 25-acre
system with the view of wedding
out the curse. They reserve 20
acres each year for cleaning, plant
ing corn one year, timothy or barley
the next. and each year not allowing
d spear to grow on the tract. At
the commencement OF the third
wear. in CASE any mustard appears,
the spears are SO few that it is
easy to pull them, which is done.
The system works to perfection,
and if all farmers pay as rigid at
tention to their fields as those who
are pursuing this system there will
be no mustard in this section at the
end of 10 years. A few farmers in
the southwestern corner of the
county are summer fallowing mus
tard fields. and sowing the same
with timothy.
If not the prettiest, it is one Of the
prettiest homes in Redwood county

ton 18, North Hero In the first
