For few days the rumor has been
about town that new brick block of
the same style as the Teepee- -Tonka

put up building as elegant and
substantial as the Teeree-Tonka. .
Negotiations for this new building
are not entirely completed, but prob
ably will be some time today, If it
is decided to erect the new block
and such a conclusion seems proba-

ELECT DIRECTORS TONIGHT.
Annual School Meeting at the Long,
fellow School at Eight O'Clock.

The annual school meeting of this
Independent school district will be
held at the Longfellow school at
eight o'clock this evening. We men
toned last week that there were three
vacancies on the board to be filled.
For Mr.. HealY's place, the name OF
S. A. Siverts is being mentioned. Mr..
Siverts is interested in schools and
will make good member of the
board. AS to the incumbents, MIR.
DanieIson and Mr.. McConville, who
have given good satisfaction as mem
bers of the board, no particular
suggestions have been made as yet,
and it is probably that these gentle
men will succeed themselves if they
see fit to again accept the places.

Law and Green Apples.

There has been general complaint
of late of the fruit trees about town
being relieved of their burden of
juicy PONIES in order to satisfy the
craving of certain youthful members
of the community for adventure and
indigestibiIity. Friday the matter
became serious one to three boys
who found themselves taken 'sred-
handed" by Mr.. Wheaton. Yester-
day morning the boys were taken be-
fore Justice Stenger along with two
Indian school boys who we're also
captured by Mr.. Wheaton Thursday
afternoon. AS this was the boys
first offence, they were let off with a
statement by the justice of the
seriousness of their offence before
being turned overto their parents.

Weekly Crop Report.

There were scattered showers in
the northern half of the state early
in the week, and rains began in the
southern half on the 18th. In the
southern tier of counties the rains
were heavy, ranging from 3.2l inches
at Worthington to 5.14 inches at La
Crosse. in about 48 hours. Hail
| caused damages, it is said, to thou
sands of acres of spring wheat in
Kittson, Polk, Norman and Red Lake
counties, and it caused damage in
Rice county also. There were very
high and warm southerly winds on
the 18th and 18th, but during the
rest of the week the temperature was
particularly fayorable for all crops,
and following the splendid rains of
the first week in the month, the con-
ditions have been excellent for the
head of the spring wheat still stand
ing, though there are some fields so
poor in the northern counties
that they are being plowed under.
In southeastern counties the weather
was very dry till the 14th, and in
fields where the spring wheat was
weakened by the drought, the chinch
bugs have been destructive; these
fields have ripened rapidly, and some
of them are being mown for hay.
The spring wheat harvest will begin
from the 10th to the 25th of July,
and with fayorable conditions con
tinuing, there will pe much better
yield on the area remaining to be
harvested than was looked for on
July 1st. Barley harvest is we'll ad-
vanced in all the southern half of the
state. and some oats are being cut
Rye and winter wheat are generally
in shock or stack. Much of the fax
is improved. The hay crop now be-
ing secured in god condition is very
light, except in few places in south
ern counties. The high winds
shelled some standing barley, and
also blew off many apples from the
loaded trees. Pastures are better.

Governor Theodore Roosevelt, Re-
publican candidate for Vice presi-
dent, was the guest of st. Paul last
Tuesday on the occasion of the ma
tional meeting of the Republican
League. From the time ''Teddy"
arrived on the fast mail over the
milwaukee,, he was attended by a
vast crowd of people ready to cheer
on the slightest provocation and
throw up the ir hats for the popular
rough rider.
The great event of the day was
the speech by Gov. Roosevelt at the
Auditorium in the evening. That
building accommodating about 1000
people, but there was crowd many
times larger turned away from the
doors on account of not having the
necessary ticket. The speaker was
greeted with most tumultuous ap-
plause when he arose and during his
speech was repeatedly interrupted
by the enthusiastic crowd "Teddy"
is a magnetic, pleasant man, who
held his crowd through his whole
address without the loss of single
auditor and without the audience
losing single word. His speech
follows:-

Adjourned rleeting /.

On Monday, July 18th, . the board
of county commissioners held the ad,
journed meeting, all the commits,
sioners being present.
After allowing few bills, the mat
ter of damages on account of the lay
ing out of the county line road be-
tween Stevens and Swift counties
was taken up, and Stewart Wells al
lowed $500 damages.
On motion, an order was given to
McGilI, Warner & Go. to furnish the
vault of clerk of court with steel fix
lures. These fixtures will give more
room in the vault and are also ac-
counted much more satisfactory than
the wooden fixtures.
The auditor was directed to issue a
warrent to Albert Violin in settle
ment of his bill forsupplies toAmund
Amundson, and to pay him every
four mouths hereafter.
At the afternoon session, the audi
tor was directed to draw a war
rant in favor of F. A. Hancock fer
$4,000, as partial payment on his
contract for repairing and altering
the court room.
The board then adjourned and met
as the county board Of equalization.

DIED.
Gen. J. n. Barrett.

Gen. j. III. Barrett died at his home
at Barrett's Ranch at IL 40 yesterday
morning. The general suffered a
severe fall from his horse short time
ago, resulting in paralysis, which
became the cause of his death, The
body is to be shipped to Sterling, Ill,
the old home of the family, for burial.
There are tobe no services at the
home in this county.
Gen Barrett is held in the highest
esteem by the people in this and ad-
joining counties, being especially
loved and respected among the old
settlers of this section of the state.
Among his many friends here, the
deepest sorrow will be felt at his
taking away and the most sincere
sympathy extended to the afflicted
wife and children.
Gen. j. II. Barrett was born at
Barnesville, N. Y, on August 9th,
1884. Here he spent his boyhood
until he was nineteen years of age
when he came west and entered the
government service as surveyor. In
1856, he first became known to many
of the present residents of this
county while he was engaged in snr-
veying in the neighborhood of st.
Cloud. Gen. Barrett in 1862 enlisted
in Co. Il of the 9th Minnesota Vol
unteers and was given commission
as second lieutenant. He was
promoted to the captaincy of his
company and later assigned to the
command of the 62nd q. S. Colored
Infantry, and while holding this
position was brevetted General.
After the war, in 1873, Gen. Barrett
was engaged in surveying in Indian
Territory and what is now Oklahoma.
In 1879, he surveyed all the western
portion of Stevens county and when
this work was done, settled ON the
Ranch" in the town of Donnelly,
where he has since resided. During
the many years he has resided
there " Barrett Ranch has become
the synonym for hospitality. The
general has always taken promi
nent part in public, duties and enter
prises, though never permitting him
self to be made the recipient of poll
ticaE honors. The people of the
county mourn his loss as neighbor,
friend and prominent citizen.
Gen. Barrett is survived by his
wife and three children on the verge
of young manhood and young

The Nome Gold Fielfia

The first map folder or circular re.
specting the Klondike gold strike OF
1898 was issued by the Northern Pacific
railway. 1t is more than coincidence
that the first map folder or phamphlet
of the Nome mining district comes
from the same source. The present
folder not only contains good map oi
the Nome district, but is embellished
with several cuts of views at Nome City
and the beach where the method OF
mining is clearly shown. All informa-
tion obtainable regarding sailing dates
from Seattle and Tacoma, through
rates, etc., is given in this book and
the public cautioned to go to the agents
of the N. P. Ry., who are supplied
with diagrams of the Alaska steamers,
and arrange in advance for their accom-
modations rather than TO put off this
very important business until they
reach Puget Sound. There is no doubt
but what there will be very consider
able passenger business from the mid
die and eastern states and very heavy
business from the Pacific coast states
to the Nome district next spring.
For folders, rates, etc., call on A. D.

Chas. s. Fee, General Passenger Agent,

thing to one person and quite another
thing to another person. 1t is related
that a gentleman went to a dentist and
asked him to "take look at his teeth"
The dentist did SO, and seemed full of
admiration.

the patient.
Magnificent! magnificent" was all
the dentist could say.
''Then you don't find anything to do
to. themT
.'To do to them? Why, there are four
to be pulled, six to be filed, and three
% be crownedw said the dentist.
