Richard Harding Davis's"The
Relief of Ladysmith" in the
July Scribner's is probably the
most brilliant piece of war cor
respondence since his famous
story of the fight at LaGuasi-
mas. He gives a vivid express
sion of the ways of living, the
privations, suffering and the
constant danger in the besieged
city and of the fine spirit of en-
durance that enabled it's de-
tenders to hold out until the
last. He shows, too, how
difficult it was for the advanc-
ing colum under General Butler
to make it's way through the
surrounding hills that afforded
the Beers an almost impregn-
able natural defence and de-
scribes the stirring scenes attend
ing the entrance into the city

trations are from photographs
in the city and of the country
about.

HEARING CONTINUED.
Frank Skrabal Given Until July q, to Sc
cure Witnesses to Testify in "a
his Behalf. 81

She hearing of Frank Skrabal, Of
Burkman town, who Is charged with
Indecent assault upon the thirteen
year old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Jos. Schmolke. vi that village, con-
tinued through tie entire day in
Justice Collins court Tuesday.
Late in the afternoon the hearing
had not been finished 80 an adjourn
ment was taken until Monday, at
10 q. m.
To all appearances the state has
concluded the Introduction OF Its
testimony so all that remains is to
give the defendant an opportunity
to secure additional witnesses to
prove as to his character.
1t is the opinion of most of those
who were present at that portion OF
the hearing held Tuesday that
Skrabal is innocent OF the charge.
From testimony thus far taken it
looks very much as If there will not
be evidence enough to support the
charge.
The mother of the girl is the only
person who seems to know, or
claims to know, anything directly
about the supposed crime. The girl
herself can't be placed on the stand
because she is unable to talk and is
of unsound mind. She is also totally
paralyzed and must be carried from
place to place by her father.
Skrabal has worked from time to
time for Schmolke for the past two
or three years. He has been about
the house q large part OF the time
and has always been thought well
OF by the family.
1t is thought that he may have
been under the influence of liquor at
the time and caused a slight dis
turbance that was objected to.
1t seems strange that nothing was
said of the crime until a few days
ago. The complaint states that the
act was committed May 1.
Friends of Skrabal, who are
loud in their praise as to his
character, believe that he is inno-
cent and that there is nothing on
which to found the charge. They
believe that at the conclusion of the
testimony Monday he will be let go.

THE PARIS FAIR.

The exhibit Of Thomas A. Edison at
the Paris exposition requires no less than
1915 cases. Three of Mr.. Edison's assist
ants will have charge of,it.
The French patent law requires that
patentee should work his patent in the
country within a specified time. The
mere fact of exhibiting patent at the
forthcoming exposition, however, will be
looked upon as filling this requirement.
Queen Victoria has lent to the pavilion
Of the city of Paris at the exposition
four fragments Of low relief sculpture
which ornamented the old statue of Louis
XIV on the Place DIES Victories before
the great revolution. The fragments
found their way to England during the
upheaval in France and were given to
Queen Victoria.

SLUMP IN WAGES.
Short Crops and Mining Lull Clearly
Portend It-Lower Wages in
Northern Minnesota.

Duluth Mimi. June 25.-Many
heavy employers Of labor, both
skilled and common, are looking for
a slump in wages before long,
though they are sorry to see condi-
lions that permit it. There will be
SO little demand for men from the
wheat regions of the northwest that
the employment of thousands Of
men, usually hired here, will be gone.
The sawmills cannot continue to
operate heavily unless there are
rains and sales for their product,
and the rains, at least, seems us far
Off as ever. In fact the customary
wet season has passed with merely
a few drops OF water. There is q
distinct lull in mining operations on
all ranges though not so particular
ly on the two Minnesota districts as
elsewhere, and this will tend to re-
duce wages even if no men are let go.
There has already been a cut 10
from 10 to 20 per cent in wages
along the Menominee range and the
Marquette and Gogebic are discuss
ing the wage scale. The Minnesota
mines cannot afford to pay more
than their competitors in Michigan.
If the dry weather continues there
will he. several hundred million feet
OF logs now in tie woods that will
he there I'LL next spring, and the cut
OF next winter will be that much re-
duced, considerably reducing the
demand for men in the woods.

HOLD STOCK.
Prof. Liggett Advises Farmers Not to B.
in Hurry to Sell
Their Stock.

It has been suspicioned that in
several places interruptions persons
have been endeavoring to stampede
the farmers into hurrying off their
stock because of fear Of inability to
provide fodder for them. Learning
OF this Prof. Liggett, of the agricul-
tural station has issued bulletin
that is being scattered throughout
the state. The point made is that.
in the first place, it is too early to
sell stock, for the fodder question is
not altogether hopeless, and in the
second place, there is no reason why
any farmer selling now or in the
near future should not get a good
price. The bulletin follows:
Many farmers, alarmed at the
shortage OF pasturage, as we'll as
oats and hay crops, are already SELL
ing their cattle. The only purchasers
at a low price for speculation, are
dealers. In recent years much has
been done to stimulate the growth
of live stock in Minnesota, especially
the cattle industry. These cattle,
and particularly the females, are
needed on the farm. If sold now,
how are they going to be replaced?
Fat stock of all kinds is selling at
good prices in the market. While
the drouth in the northwest is Sc
rious, do not overlook the fact that
Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas,
and other states have an abundance
of food of all kinds, and the farmers
in these states will be willing to pay
good prices for stockers in the au-
tumn months. Keep your growing
stock and do everything possible to
provide food for it, which may be
grown If rain comes soon. Plant
fodder corn as Bulletin No. 10 directs,
also other pasturage and forage
foods. Oats and barley mixed, or
oats alone, sown az! late as the first
week in July, will furnish q large
amount OF pasture. Winter rye sown
at any time between now and the
first of September will also furnish
pasture. That sown in August may
also be grazed the following spring.
A full crop of rape may be grown
sown as late as the middle of July.
Rape we'll grown furnishes an enorm.
GUS amount of pasture. Rape should
be sown with q drill il one suitable
can be had, but may also he sown
broadcast, using four or five pounds
of seed per acre, and covered with a
harrow. Use the Dwarf Essex va
riety. If NO rain falls within q rea-
sonable time and food cannot be
grown and it becomes necessary to
sell much of the stock, it should not be
sold at sacrifice, but there should
be some intelligent efforts made by
the farmer to ship this stock to the
best available market, keeping the
choice females.

CORNER MANTEL.,

for the regular mantel means q chin
ney as well, and it is only the superior
class of modern houses which are sup
piled with open f1replaces in every
room. It is an added expense which
many feel they must do without even
when building new house, or there
may not be chimney convenient, and
an extra chimney means extra money,
and this perhaps is the reason why
mantel dealers keep on hand a good
stock Of ornamental shelves with mir
rors and cabinets for decorating walls.
The old fashioned mantel was of
marble, either black or white, plain or
carved, ending at the top with plain
shelf, says Mrs. S. D. Whitney in The
Household. In many cases they were
not ornamented, and today they are
usually painted the color Of the wood
work, which gives them the semblance
Of the wooden mantel now seen.
It is frequently desirable to convert
the plain shelf into a cabinet. This is
by no means difficult if the base is of
good style and the shelf ample and
broad. The sketch here shown will
give an idea Of what may be done in
this way. Tho simpler the design the
better taste will be shown, and as far
as possible one should be chosen that
will conform to the lines of the base
and make uniform whole which will
be pleasing, and often the result is very
pleasing. ~
The design here shown is a simple
one, which may be worked out in any
wood to match the base, the principal
expense being the beveled mirror, for
which plain wood panels may be sub
stituted If desired.
One can often make a change in an
old mantel by means Of a cabinet,
which will be fully as desirable and
less expense than to tear out the old
mantel and replace with a new one ell
tire. If there is no cabinet maker at
hand, it may be ordered from any man
tel manufacturer, and in such case a
photograph and full description should
accompany the order.
