the town and desire to come here and
our people will be remiss in their duty
to the city's interests if they fail to
provide some fine attractions on the
fourth Of July. There will be no lack.
ing for crowd of that am positive
s. G. BoYCE: The thought has come
to me quite forcibly that Mitchell ought
to do something this year in the way Of
celebration. There are lots of peo-
pie around in this part OF the state
looking toward Mitchell for a cele.
bration and to disappoint them would
not be creditable to the city.
81. D. BUTTERFIELD: There 10 moth
ing like fourth OF July celebration to
attract the people to our city and I am
heartily in sympaty with the idea to
celebrate. Let it be rouser and the
amussments free OF charge.
L. o. GALE; Mitchell's reputation
for successful celebrations is good and
she should this year provide the people
with one of the old time celebrations.
You can count me in on it.
A. T. McGovERN & Sons: We are
always ready to contribute our share to
q celebration of the fourth and are
ready to do the same this year. Mitch.
ell has never failed on an affair of this
kind and she will not do so now.
BARKER BROS: A celebration?
Why, most certainly we are in favor of
it. Just let US know what our share of
the expense will be and it will be ready.
G. G. RATHBUN: 1t would not do
for this of all years to miss q celebra.
tion. Things are prosperous and the
people want to be entertained and
Mitchell is just the town to do it right,
and they know it by past experiences.
G. E. VERMILYEA: There is NO
reason why Mitchell should not cele-
brate in 1900. It has been three years
since celebration was held and Mitch
ell should demonstrate again her
capacity for entertaining the people.
o. L. BRANsoN: Mitchell should
never let this year 60 by without
rousing good celebration and am heart
lily in favor of the project. Put up
something tina, will draw the people

SMITH & CONYEs: We are hesrtily
In favor of the subject and think 1t is

His death was caused by paralysis, and
in six hours after the stroke life was ex-
tinct. he had worked all day Thure-

Gated Is much. About 5 o'clock in the
afternoon Fred Bjordstrup saw the de.
ceased leaning on barrel at the rear
of the building and asked him if he
was sick. Mr.. Sphinx repliedlthat he
was, little, and went back into the
building and resumed his work, but it
was evident to Mr.. Bjordstrup that he
worked from force of habit and that he
hardly knew what he was doing. Mr..
Sphinx went home ct 6 o'clock. and
shortly after O'Clock the stroke came
on. he remained conscious for an
hour or two and then relspsed into an

for the Growing CrOp.

While the crops in this vicinity were
not in need of rain the moisture which
came Saturday and Sunday nights will
be OF great benefit to them and will put
the ground in fine shape for planting
corn and for which the farmers ara
about ready. The rain of Saturday
night amounted to SO inches and .wss
accompanied by some hail that did
some damage to the blossoms ON the
pear, apple and plum trees. Sunday
nights rain amounted to .65 inches,
making total of 1.53 inches of water
for the two nights. The farmers who
were in town today we're in q cheerful
mood and were particularly pleased
over the amount of water which is com.
ing this spring. While it is . little too
wet to do mubh farming yet they ara
not inclined to find any fault with the

ditions keep up for couple Of months

he paid out to patrons of the Mitchell
creamery in the past year over s12, 200.
He says that there ere farmers on his
list who are drawing all the way from
$50 to Sl00 per month and that they are
the ones who fully realize the benifits
OF the creamery. Others would IL
they adopted the practice OF patroniz-
ing the creamery in & way that showed
their earnestness in the business.
Farmers have found the business
profitable beyond their fondest dreams, u
said A. h. Wheaton, professor OF dairy
ing in the state agricultural college at
Brookines few days ago, "because of
the cheapness OF all kinds of feed, and
because of the highly nutritive native
grasses which are everywhere found in
abundance. Many cresmeries are now
paying dollar hundred for milk, and
some are returning even more after
paying all expenses.
Nearly all the creameries are run
on the cooperative plan, thus giving,
the producer the full value of his milk.
while the skinned milk is returned
for feeding purposes. The returns
from creamery butter alone now reach
more than million and half of dol
lars. Many farmers who formerly liv-
ed on rented farms in states farther
east, have within the past four or Eve
years, with . few good COWS and the
money they would have paid out for
rent in the east, bought and paid for
good farms in this state and can now
say, I owe not any man."

Halliday, secretary of the state dairy
mems association, twas more than q

weather just past, the early spring and
the warm and abundant rains have COM

this state for the current year by hum

"Our creamery company was organ.

dent Of the Desmet Creamery Co.
During that year, and beginning with
1000 pounds of milk day, we paid our
patrons s9,s11.96. In 1897 We received
100000 pounds of milk, and paid
patrons s22, 1896 SO. In 1896 We received
