MINNESOTA NEWS.
A Puzzle.

The state OmClalS, the members Oh
the state board of health and Of the
game and fish commission are agitated
over the bullheads in the waters of
Minnesota. It seems that Minnesotans
will not eat bullheads, while in neigh
boring states their flesh is regarded as
very palatable. It is white, fine
grained and tender, but the residents
of this commonwealth will have none
of it. The state law will not allow
bullheads to be shipped out of Mime
sofa. The sport attending their cap
ture is moderate. Aline is thrown out
with cork bob, the bullhead immedi-
ately swallows the bait and hook, and
that is all there is of it. The only zest
attending such fishing is occasioned by
the desire of the bullhead to stab any
one who takes hold of him. The bull
heads at Waterville are filing the lake
and have become a pest. A. Z. Ehlert
of Waterville is trying to induce the
officials to grant permission for the
shipment of these fish to Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, South Dakota and other
states, where there was good market
before the new law went into effect.
Weather and Crop Bulletin.
The week ending July "a was with
out rain except for few widely scat
tered showers across southern Mime
sofa early in the week. In the SOUTH
ern half of the state the tempera lures
were 100 degrees or higher nearly
6oi nd
were up to 1O5. In northern portions
they were from o5 to 100 degrees. At
Minneapolis and St. Paul the maxi
mum of 102 degrees on the goth has
not been equaled in 80 years record.
A number of deaths of both persons
and animals is due to the excessive and
continued heat. In many cases it was
necessary to give up work in the fields
| during the most heated portion of the
day.
In the Red River valley the weather
has been favorable to small grains, and
they are in promising condition, ex-
cept on the fields recently flooded.
In the southern half of the state con-
siderable injury to wheat and late oats
is reported as due to premature ripen-
ing, and in southeastern counties by
chinch bugs as well.
| Found the Watch.
Several days ago B. Nilsen, Of Clark
field, shipped a car of wheat to D. R.
Wagner & Co., Minneapolis, person
ally assisting in loading the grain into
the car. While doing so he missed his
valuable watch, and as search of the
premises failed to disclose it, he wrote
letter to the firm, telling of his loss
and suggesting that it might be buried
| in the wheat.
The car was duly received by Wag-
ner & Co., and was rebilled to the La
Grange Milling company, at Red Wing,
who, in turn, were asked to look out
for the timepiece.
A few days later the watch was re-
ceived from the LAGRANGE company,
together with an explanatory note that
it had been found in the wheat when
the car was being unloaded

combe or cheap political claptrap, as
| have sometimes seen done; but the
persistently unfair treatment and in
spired slander Of Schley in depart
mental circles have grown to be con-
temptible and cowardly and halt
must be called in it,
A dispatch from New York to the
Washington Post, states that clique
OF Sampsonites wish Schley to call for
an inquiry. They wish to pack the
court so they can get victory over
the hero. Mr.. e. f. Graham, of
Albany, N. Y, who was war CORES
pondent on the ship Brooklyn, says
that "Maclay has been induced to so
fiercely assault Schley that the latter
would be compelled to ask for a court
OF inquiry. Then the Sampson-Eyans-
CROWN nshield-Chadwick crowd would
get such board appointed AS would
make it appear that Sampson was re-
sponsible for the defeat of Cervera.
''Maclay gives the whole scheme
away when he says that admiral
Schley should ask for court of in
quiry.'"
Neither Captains Chadwick nor
Clark nor Cook nor Philips, all in the
fight, had any hand in revising this
most foul book of lies. Mr.. Graham
says, pertinently:
''If they are going to court-martial
somebody, why don't they get samp-
son to say why he did not coal at sea
Off Santiago, but depleted his battle
Ii IajIv hU SanHin,r chin, Eftu i1o,
away to coal? Ask him why he left
the battle line with the fast cruiser
New York to chase schooners for
prize money! Ask him why he never
said word or signaled word of
praise to officers Or men after the
fight, although Schley asked him to?"
Secretary Loug said of the text
book that 81 readily admit that the
value Of Mr.. Maclay's work as a his
torian has been very greatly impaired
] by the prejudice and the intemper-
ance of his language in the treatment
Of Admiral Schley's portion of the
West Indian campaign.'
Schley is calm, self-contained,
watching. He is on deck, better
! known than ever and more believed
in. The Charleston NeWs and Courier
says it is 'another victory for Schley," "
and informingly says that his enc
mics damned him for the famous
loop movement at Santiago. Secre-
tary Long now says that Captain
Cook was wholly responsible for it.
The interesting feature of the
present Schley revival is that it shows
how 'history'is is made in this country.
1t is often written to order or for a
purpose. not for the sake of truth.
Bancroft's history was changed to
suit conditions. McMaster was dis
covered in error which was to the dis
advantage of one part of our common
country, and Andrews had experience
of a distinctly unpleasant character
in Chicago"
1t seems that Maclay's books were
adopted as text books at the Naval
Academy, but the third volume is not
used. Sampson read the proofs OF
those villainous ISLANDERS. He will
stand by the record. He richly de-
serves to be dismissed from the navy
for he is fraud Of the first magni-
tude.
