Story of a. Slave.

TO be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains Of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams, of
Manchester, Mich. says: my wife has
been so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone. After
using Two bottles OF Electric Bitters
she is wonderfully improved and able
to do her own works. This supreme
remedy for female diseases quickly
cures nervousness, sleeplessness, mel
ancholy, headache, backache, fainting
and dizzy spells. 1t is a godsend to
weak, sickly, rundown people. Cure
guaranteed. Only SOC. Sold by G. A.
Jack, druggist. j

The concert given by Miss Bailie at
the opera house last Friday evening
was one of. the most enjoyable enter
tainments ever given in the village
The program was splendid one, each
participant having an opportunity to
display his talent, and there were no
unpopular numbers. Miss .Bailie was
clearly the favorite of the evening.
She is possessed of beautiful voice of
sufficient strength to fill the large
room, and though all her numbers
were good, her rendition of Annie
Laurie struck popular chord and she
was perhaps more widely complimented
on this number than on any other.
Mr.. Whitman, of St. Cloud, gave the
audience several we'll executed piano
selections and added greatly to the
enjoyment of the evening. Mr.. An
derson, of Milaca, always a favorite in
Princeton, favored us with cornet and
violin solo, and Mr.. Germany, with
Miss Bailie, gave some pleasing vocal
duets. The Congregational church
netted a n eat sum through the efforts
of these young people.

Teachers Entertain.

The entertainment at the NJ. e.
church last Wednesday evening, given
principally by the summer school
teachers was thoroughly enjoyed by
those present.
Some teachers came prepared to
help as they knew such an entertain
ment had been given heretofore and
had looked forward to the enjoyment
of helping and being helped by listen.
ing to others.
If it is we'll to encourage the children
to recite and the average teacher has
no way of taking training in elocution,
she can hear those who have had such
training, and get considerable help for
her school work. Mrs. Whites
gestures were helpful to some who had
recited Little Joe"
Miss Cravens and Miss Snow de,
lighted the audience with their selec
tions; each entering into the spirit o.
this recitation so much that it seemed
they were using their own words.
Clifton Cravens has established {
reputation for speaking, and, of course
the ladies heard him gladly.
Miss Rodeke did herself justice, also
Misses Grant, O'Brien and Everett.
Mrs. G. E. Guthrie who is studyins

CROP CONDITIONS.
The Report of the Weather Bureau for
the Week Ending Monday.

The Report of the Weather Bureau for
the Week Ending Monday.
There was no rain in the three south
ern tiers Of counties, except near the
Mississippi on the lst. The rest OF the
State was very dry till the 4th, when
rains began, continuing at least parts
OF two days; many of the rains were
heavy, with the following amounts re-
ported: Alexandria, 6.2l inches; De-
troit City, 2.OS; Crookston, 2.05; Park
Rapids, l.s7; Campbell, l.Sl; Moor
head, l.3S: Duluth, 2.54; Granite Falls,
1.02. There we're. severe hailstorms in
parts of Marshall, Red Lake and Polk
counties, which were very destructive
to standing crops in comparatively
small areas. The week was very hot,
with temperatures of 1000 in parts of
the west and southwest on the 2nd.
The hot, dry weather, accompanied by
high south winds was trying to corn,
potatoes, pastures and root crops in
central portions before the rain fell.
The harvest of wheat, barley and oats
has progressed rapidly, and in the
southern half of the State the cutting
OF all the grains, except flax, is nearly
finished. In parts of the Red River
valley the wheat is hardly coming up
to expectations of ten days ago, though
the heads are everywhere filled with
grain Of excellent quality, and south of
the Minnesota river the threshing re-
turns are so far very satisfactory. The
oat crop is generally poor, and many
fields have been left for the ripening
of the stools, which began growing
early in July. Much of the early fax
is very good; some of the late flax is
good and some is nearly worthless.
Much of the barley is discolored.
Stacking has been conducted with all
possible speed during the dry weather,
and some threshing from the shock has
been done. Forage crops are good.
The apple crop continues promising.
The gathering of fair crop of wild
hay is going on. Flies are so trouble.
some to cattle that the milk yields are
falling off.

Two young men had trouble with a

the assault was so badly punished that
a doctor's services were required. It
is said that the matter has been set

the future, but it is also rumored that
the neigh bors will bring the matter to

The Institute Ends.

The annual teachers summer train
ing school closed it's session last Fri
day, after a very successful season.
Prof. Franklin, of Owatonna, who had
charge of the work, Acomplimented
Messrs. VanWormerand White highly
on the manner in which they had done
their work and the professor also made
complimentary mention of the teach
ers of this section. He said that dur
ing short time at the beginning
there was small attendance of those
who came there more in quest of fun
than knowledge. but these. dropped
out shortly and those. whos remained
were conscientious workers and will
enterupon "'tth 'ttthe1r dutfes t1ffzs faf1 with
better qualifications chan they have
hitherto. possessed Good resultsawere
obsained-in alljthe branches and Prof:
Franklin was thoroughly satisfied with
9. The summer school .''insIpectors also
nplimentede the school, stating that
although the attendance was numer-
ically small the Princeton school en-
joyeds a larger percentage of attend
ance of the teachers of the county than
any school he had visited in his tour.
Princeton has always achieved sue
cess with her summer schools and the
teachers always look forward to these
annual meetings with pleasant antici-
patton. This years success will prob
ably make it easy to secure anothe
school for next season, and the appli-
Ecation will undoubtedly be made. ~, ;,
