CROP CONDITIONS.

The Report of the Weather Bureau for
the Week Ending Monday.
The severe drought has been effect
ually broken in all parts of the State
by rains which began on the morning
of the I'd, and continued, as showers,
till late in the week, though in Polk,
Clay, Becker and Hubbard counties
there were splendid rains as early as
June 30th. The temperature were
moderately high till the last days of
the week, the highest being on the
4th. The. rains have been very bene-
fetal to corn, late potatoes, pastures,
wild grasses, forage crops, flax and
fruits; and Of some value, depending
on the condition of the plant, to spring
wheat, oats and barley; some fields Of
these small grains, especially in the
northern half of the State, were too
poor to receive any benefit from the
rains, andr Others had already been
plowed for forage or other crops, or

cut for hay, but some on heavier soils,
and grown under better conditions,
stood the drought better and have
been improved by the rains by a
lengthening of the stalk, an increased
capacity Of head and better filling. A
fair crop of winter rye is nearly all in
shock, and a moderate winter wheat
crop is being cut. Barley harvest has
begun in the South, and oats are ripen-
ing. Flax is irregular, but it is i'm
proving, and larger crop is expected
than was thought possible before the
rains began. A poor crop of hay is
being cut, though the work is retarded
by the rains, which have spoiled some
of it. Fodder corn and millet are be-
ing grown to supplement winter feed.
No timothy will be grown for seed.
Chinch bugs are numerous in southern
counties, where they are attacking the
corn. High winds have blown of
many apples, but not enough to mater.
tally reduce the splendid crop. Corn
and potatoes are growing rapidly.

The Anoka authorities have again

Wise murder. All three have been
previously arrested and released and
nothing is known of the evidence the
authorities have secured against them.
The prisoners, Hardy and Miller, base
their hopes of release on an alibi. The
arrests are said to have been made
on information secured at last from
one of the Wise girls and the father.
It is known that the young men had
trouble with the elder Wise and the
boys had been for hidden to visit the

Mile Lacs County Teachers Have Ex-
changed Places With Their Pupils.
The teachers, who during nine
months of the year are busy teaching
the young people of the county, are
this week in the pupils places and are
receiving instruction themselves. The
corps of instructors for the teachers
summer training school consists of
Prof. Franklin, of Faribault, Mrs. c..
E. Guthrie, of Minneapolis, Prof.
White, of Princeton, and County
Superintendent VanWormer.
The school opened on Monday morn
ing, at 7:30. This early hour for open
ing was chosen in order that the daily
program could be finished at 1890,
allowing the rest of the day for pre-
paration of lessons for the following
day.
The teachers are kept busily at work
during the session, passing from one
recitation Immediately to another,
with few exceptions, an intermission
of fifteen minutes and attendance at
the ''model class" room affording am.
pie opportunity for resting the nerves.
The model class is composed of about
sixteen Of. the second and third grade
pupils. under the management of Mrs.
G.. b. Guthrie. This class is made an
object lesson for the teachers, who
will undou btedly acquire from it many
new ideas as to the management of the
little ones in9their schools. ...

sidered numerically. but if the numb ber
present is compared with the mum ber
teaching in the county, the attendance
is very gratifying. Only eight are
absent. The number present is now

This amount will be found to be
81 500 less than the levy made last year
and will lessen the rate of taxation
somewhat. The cut was made in the
levy for railroad bonds, the commits
sioners deciding that at the present
rate of payment of taxes $4,000 would
be fully sufficient to meet the payment
of the bonds when they fell due.
While it is difficult to tell until after
the board Of equalization gets through
with it's work, Auditor Whitney says
he expects that the valuation of the
county this year will reach million
and half. Of this valuation about
fve-sixths is taxable, so that with the
lessening of the annual levy the rate of
taxation will be considerable lower
than in proceeding years. The only
danger of high rate of taxation lies
in the inclination of some of the school
districts to collect the full amount of
taxes allowed by law. If the matter of
increased valuation is fully explained
at the annual school meeting there is
little to fear from this source and Mile
Laos county's rate of taxation will not
be the highest in the State this year,
as it was last
