Narrow Escape.

During a storm in Minneapolis the top
Of the new Andrus building, Fifth street
and Nicollet avenue, was struck and
large rock, weighing about IL pounds,
was loosened. 1t fell to Fifth street and
struck the top of an A. D. T. hack, driv-
en- by Jim Lindsay. s.z
The driver was on his way from Sec
ond avenue south to the West hotel, the
occupant, of this hack being, a woman.
The rock nearly struck the driver, but in
stead landed squarely on top of the hack,
just behind the seat. It crashed through
the top with loud noise and landed in
the seat.
Fortunately for the occupant, she was
sitting on the opposite seat, and was not
struck by the large missile. Although
severely frightened by her unusual ex-
perience, she was uninjured, and the only
damage was that done to the hack.

. MINNESOTA NEWS,
Hoppers.

Professor Lugger has made his report
to Governor Lind on the grasshoppers in
northern Minnesota.
The situation is much better than ten
days ago, and the outlook for the preven-
ton Of a scourge next year is good
The 800 hopper dosers did good work.
Professor Lugger says the hoppers are
being destroyed by two parasites, but
that the only safety for that country lies
In blowing all the fields where the hop
pers have been located. Sf4
The report also recommends that nom
residents be required to plow the land
they have been allowing to go to waste
after cultivating it for term This land
Is not only great breeding place for
grasshoppers and other pests, but it is
producing noxious weeds. which threaten
to overrun the country. One hundred
acres Of this land viii breed grasshop-
pers enough to oyerrun 5000 acres.
The report states that the southeastern
part Of the state is being overrun by
chinch bugs. =,

favorably for Increasing the number of
chinch bugs, but prevents their success

"a Lost Money.
Some notable facts are disclosed in
the annual report of Insurance Commits
stoner O'Shaughnessy which is being pre-
pared for the printer. Fire insurance
companies evidently had pretty hard
year Of it as out Of Sc foreign companies
that are duly authorized to do business
In Minnesota, not one made money
through underwriting. In fact all lost
money, and were it not for the profitable
investment and the earnings of stocks
and securities. the foreign fire companies
would have but little to encourage a
continuance in business in this country ii
the future could be based on last years
business.
OF the 125 joint stock fire companies, or
ganized in the United States that trans
act business in Minnesota, very few
made any money through underwriting,
and the great majority are to the bad.
The existing condition is occasioned by
exceptional heavy fire losses during 1899.
The first six months of this year have
shown but little improvement and this
year promises record losses nearly as
large as last wear

A Distinct Feature.

A distinct feature will be added to
Itasca state park if Governor Lind il
successful in his present efforts to secure
recognition by the powers at Washing
ton. The river commission, in it's geo.
detic survey of the valley to include the
sources of the father of waters, will erect
three observation towers within the bor-
ders of Itasca park. 1t is the governors
plan to secure these towers and have
them made permanent after the work Of
the engineers has been finished.
General John M. Wilson, chief of en-
gineers, United States army writing to
Congressman Page Morris, says he can
see no reason why the governors request
should not be granted.
One Of the towers will be built on the
highest point in the park, which is also
the highest point in Minnesota. The
towers, the governor thinks, would prove
a great attraction to tourists.
