BLUE EARTH PROSPERS
GEN. j. H. BAKER SAYS IT'S CROP
WILL pc LARGE.


Gen ]. H. Baker, Of Garden CITY. one
of the old-tfne Republican politicians of
Minnesota, was registered at the Mer-
chants yesterday. The general though he
has served his state as railroad commis-
sioner, and twice as secretary Of state, is
entirely out of politics and had nothing
to say upon that subject He was, how
ever, quite versatile upon the crop uues-
~tton. Cen Baker has some few acres of
wheat and corn himself this year, and is
personally interested in the line of agri-
culture.
Speaking of the crop output in Blue
Earth county, where he resides, Mr.
Baker, said
L give you reliable statement with
out the slightest exaggeration, when I
say that the crops in our county are
simply ideal; wheat Is going from six
teen to thirty bushels to the acre, accord
Ing to the actual measurement Of the
thresher, and corn will prove a remark
able yield. No matter what may be the
result in other counties, 1 can vouch for
Blue Earth. The people Of that county
will have no reason to complain this
year"
Gen. Baker stated also that this sue
cess In crops is not alone confined to
Blue Earth county but that very large
yield, both Of wheat and corn. will be
harvested in Baribault, Martin and Wa
tonwan counties. ST cannot speak &C
curately of other parts of the state" said
he, "but these counties I have been over
and l know what am talking about"

We Have Seen the Finish Of the Tor
rid Weather..
Yesterday was the most pleasant day,
from weather standpoint, that has been
experienced In st. Paul for over ten days
past. aass - 81 - sgrA =
The RAIN. which fell in sheets Friday
night, had the desired effect of cooling
the atmosphere so that 1t remained bear
able for at least one day. After swelter-
ing under 80 degrees of heat for nearly
two weeks. the good. people of this city
We're prepared to receive a change, and
were most grateful when it came.
Weather Forecaster Lyon IS not of the
opinion that summer garments need be
discarded for time at least. but he says
the severe weather is over for this year
This is q gladdening fact.
Had there been ten degrees more Of heat
yesterday 1t would not, after all, have
been a very comfortable day, for the hu-
nudity was quite well up. 1t registered
80 per cent The maximum heat Of the
day was so. The day started in at 66, and
by o'clock the mercury had reached 70.
Fortunately there was a good breeze
throughout the day to fan away what of
heat there may have been.
Over an inch of rain fell Friday night,
and the river is higher by two feet or
more than it has been for several months.
1t Is rising at the rate of seven-tenths of
a foot day.

BARELY ESCAPES DEATH
T5yRrEEN-YEAR-O BOY FALLS
DOWN AN ELEVATOR SHAFT
YESTERDAY
sUsrA1Ns SERIOUS INJURIES
Portion of the Frontal Bone De-
pressed on the Brain-Acctdent
Fortunately, VIII Not
Prove Fatal.

Andy Miller, thirteen years old, son Oh
John Miller, $50 Decatur street. had
narrow escape from death yesterday noon
by falling down an elevator shaft in the
old store building at Beaumont and De-
catur streets, which was formerly occu-
pied by the Globe Tea company
The lad is employed in the cigar shop OF
Ed Camen, 612 Minnehaha street, and was
home to dinner. He finished before the
rest of the family and went outside. His
younger brother, William, finished about
five minutes later and also went out He
had not been gone long, however, before
he came running back almost out OF
breath, and informed his father, who was
still at the dinner table, that his brother,
Andy, had fallen down the elevator shaft
in the building across the street and was
hurt. The father Immediately rushed out
of the house and. across the street into tho
building. On arriving there he went down
into the cellar and found his son lying
among lot of old iron, broken jars and
old rubbish by the side Of the elevator
unconscious.
Mr.. Miller picked up the limp body, and,
with the assistance of a couple of men
who had come over by this time, got the
boy over to the house and called DIR. Ball.
who happened to be at the drug store on
Decatur and Bedford streets. DR.. Ball
dressed the wounds as best he could with
the meager facilities at hand. and upon
examination found the frontal bone was
fractured and that portion Of IT. about
the size of dime, was depressed on the
brain This was taken out. DIR. Ball had
the boy sent to ST. Joseph's hospital,
where he put five stitches into the wound.
1t was stated last night that he will re-
cover.
No one seems to really know just how
the accident happened, but as near as
could be learned. the lad, after going out
side, went across the street with some
other boys and gained entrance into tho
empty building by side door. The ele-
vator, which was a freight elevator, used
for carrying goods from the first floor
to the basement and vice versa, was down
in the cellar. The opening was unguard-
ed, and the boy, playing around 1T. fell
through the hole and struck his head Oh
the elevator below.
The father and mother are very much
grieved over the accident, but are glad
that it was no worse. Mr.. Miller Is la
borer. and works at whatever he can get
to do. p
