As Willis came In Edward was oblig-
ed to confess than he made handsome
appearance. His bearing was soldier
~, the empty sleeve was eloquent of
heroism, and the scar on his face was
positively lovely" to quote one of the
young ladies in the hall.
'Well, old man, it seems awful good
to get back here again, tell you. I've
had all the war want, and I'm ready
to surrender even to old Quad If he
will put me on hospital diet. Tell me
all about everything"
Edward pleaded the lateness Of the
hour; but Willis was wide awake and
insisted on asking a host of questions.
Finally, from sheer force Of habit he
went over to the closet where he had
always kept his backing materials.

He had not the slightest idea as to
where he would 90 or what he would
do for room; but he felt the need first
Of bit of solitude, and he went off
into piece Of woods down in one cor
ner Of the campus and had a time all
by himself, during which he cooled of
a little, although when he came back
up on the hill he had not changed his
mind concerning the step he had taken
and was, If anything, more deeply con-
vinced that he had done the right
thing for himself. The only thing that
troubled him much was the thought Of
Willis mother. Would she consider
Edward false to his promise that he
would do all in his power for her son?
Had he exhausted all possible efforts
to save him.. or had he deserted him
Just because of the annoyance and
discomfort Of a few unpleasant times
with him?
He had been such stickler for the
truth and for keeping his word that
this one thought made him uneasy. It
was Saturday, and there were no
classes, so he walked slowly over to
the ladies' hall, thinking to see Freeda
and tell her about the matter, with a
more or less vague feeling that in
arguing with her about it he could
persuade himself that what he had
done was justified by the facts,
Freeda came down into the parlor
after q few moments, and Edward
with his usual directness told her what
he had done. She looked very serious
and questioned him rather closely.

drinking more this term than he used

There's no doubt Of it." Edward re-
piled decidedly. "He's been out often

That the south has not stood for
Bryan because it loved Bryan and his
free coinage vagaries, has been evil
denced in many ways 1t would have
taken Democrat on gold standard
platform just as quickly. But the new
industrial south is finding out that the
cheap money scheme is detrimental to
it's progress, and as it wakes up to this
it sees how dangerous it is for great
section of the country to throw its vote
for vagary, the success OF which
would mean such widespread ruin to
it, hence it is not surprising to learn
from South Carolina that Senator Nc
Laurin's movement is attracting
much interest. AS there is three years
yet before the presidential election,
those who are looking ahead for the
best interests of the manufacturing
south, believe that they can accomplish
much toward effectually eliminating
the cheap money idea from the south,
and build up following that will look
more to the interest of the commercial
south than has been the case hereto
fore, and the elimination of the race
issue in several of the states, by the
adoption of their constitutional amend
ments, will make the task of the fol-
lowers of Senator McLaurin much
easier

NOW THE HARVEST.
The Question Is "What Will Be the
ResuIt?'

A drive through the country finds
the harvesting machines busy in
great majority of the fields, and by
Monday next the cutting Of small
grain will be universal throughout this:
part of the state.
There is no denying the feet that the
harvest will not be what conditions
thirty days ago promised. While the
wheat stands straight and in the ma
iority of cases the straw is of good
length and attractive from the road,
careful examination of the heads de-
velops disappointment. In many fields
the heads have failed to fill to the top,
and the berry is shrunken very badly.
A few fields examined between
Mankato and Madison Lake showed
plump berries, but these were the ex-
ception rather than the rule.
One particular field examined looked
to the writer good for twenty bushels
to the acre from the stand near the
road, but the farmer owning the land
said this was deceptive. He said that
after getting into the grain few rods
the straw was much thinner, and he
did not estimate the yield above
twelve or fifteen bushels at the out
side. The gentleman interviewed is
one of the best farmers in the county,
and he does not believe that the aver
age for the county will show over
twelve bsuhels.
If his-observations shall be verified
by the thresher, there is certainly a
great disappointment in store for the
farmer and it will be shared by the
business men generally who have been
hopeful for a "bumper" crop: That
there will be fairly good yield, how
ever, does not admit of doubt. and
with the promised export demand, it
is probable that what is lacking in
yield will be made up by advanced
prices.
Oats look fine, and corn does not
give evidence of injury from the hot,
dry weather, except in isolated in
stances.
On the whole, Blue Earth county
farmers will have little cause for COM
plant, unless the unexpected happens.
Small grain is beyond further serious
injury.

BOARD OF CONTROL.
II Will Manage Small Army in the
State Insfi utionS.

St. Paul. July 22.-When on Aug. 1
the state board of control goes into
power there will be brought about the
greatest change in the manner and
method of controlling state institutions
that Minnesota has ever seen. The old
status of segregated institutions under
separate management will end, and
the institutions will pass into the
power of one body of men to be dealt
with according to their wisdom and
within statutory bounds. Nearly one
thousand will be affected by this
change and disbursements aggregating
nearly million dollars will be in the
hands of three men.
The creative law gives to the board
of control the appointment of the
superintendent, wardens and chief ex-
ecutive officers of..aIl institutions with
in the law. The superintendent, in
turn, are permitted to appoint their
assistants and guards All the educa-
tional institutions except the univer-
sity have acquiesced in the spirit of
the law, with certain restrictions.
/. The board of control will have the
power of removal and appointment
over the chiefs of eleven state institu-
tions. While the members of the board
are determined to keep the institutions
out of politics, and will make few
changes at first, the transfer of power
will probably cause some changes.
Some offices will be abolished, such as
those Of the purchasing agents, and the
revised salary list, which is being pre-
pared by the board for the whole list
of employees, will probably bring some
designations. A change in the head of
any one institution will doubtless be
followed by many changes throughout
the institution, as the new chief will
have the power of removal
The direct control of the board ex-
tends to the superintendent and
wardens of eleven schools and reforma-
tories. The superintendent at st.
Peter under the present salary list re-
ceives 1921 a month; Rochester, $2OS. :
"a soldiers home, $125 school for the
deaf and state public school, $166. 81 (;
school for feeble minded, 5000 reform
atOfy and state prison. $3.50.

Yesterday was One of the worst days
for heat the country at large has yet
seen. While in this section it was
somewhat better than Saturday being
some five or six degrees cooler, the
heat in the central west broke all for
mer records At Davenport and Du-
buque, Iowa, and at Kansas City and
st. Louis the thermometer registered
100, while Chicago broke all former
records at 1903, and Omaha and Des
Moines reached 1O4. A strong hot
wind is said to have done considerable
havoc through the corn belt. No point
of the corn belt has received rain Cor
several days.

AN INTERESTING CAREER.
Former Teacher in The Normal SCh0O
Meeting With Success.

Miss NJ Adelaide Holton, the new
primary supervisor of the Minneapolis
public schools is given nice mention
by the Minneapolis Journal of Satur
day evening. She was formerly a
teacher in the Mankato normal school
and her many friends in this city will
find the following from the Journal of
int rest:
Miss Holton has taught in the uni
versity summer school for several years
and is we'll known in local educational
circles.
An eastern woman by birth, she
taught in the country schools of Madi
son county, New York, before she
where she was graduated. After re-
nesota and taught in st. Peter one year
state normal to do critic work in the
Holton went to the city training school
Of Bridgeport, Conn. She organized
the training department in the Madi-
son, s.. D., normal school, where she
taught methods. For seven years she
wac SupCl NiSOI VI pllLudly NOIh III OAHU
Lake City and in 1896 went to Des
Moines as primary supervisor, but was
recalled to Salt Lake City at the end
of the year.
While in Salt Lake City Miss Hol-
ton had the unique experience of act
ing as superintendent of schools. The
superintendent had resigned shortly
after the school year opened and Miss
Holton had charge for the remainder
of the year There wss much jealousy
in regard to her appointment, for the
older teachers felt that they should
have had the opportunity, but, regard
less of the opposition to her. Miss
Holton closed a most successful year
and, although the board consisted of
four Mormons and six Gentiles, Their e
was very little friction.
At one time Miss Holton took thirty
FIVE of her teachers in private Car to
Chicago to study methods. She has
taught in the summer schools of Iowa,
Nebraska, Illinois, Utah, Dakota and
Minnesota, meeting and instructing
over 2, 900 teachers. Last December
she was in New York lecturing in the
normal schools and cities.
In addition to her teaching Miss
Holton has found time to prepare a
primer which is believed to be the
most "child like" primer yet issued.
She has had broad experience in teach
ing methods and in the supervision of
schools and her success has come from
hard work and a determination to sue
coed.

The value of the corn crop in the
six great corn producing states of In
diana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska and Iowa in 1899 was 1881, :
1862, 426, and in 1900 it was 1891, 642, :
OS5. These states produce more than
half the corn crop of the country. 1t
is estimated that should the crop in
these six states be cut this year by
reason of the drought % per cent, the
loss would reach the enormous total of
$50, 600, 900. 1t is also said that the
loss which will be sustained in Kansas
because of the drought, would go far
toward inaugurating good irrigation
system, which would make much of
the loss recently suffered an impossi-
bility.

1t is said that Charlie Towne is now
a millionaire, having been made so by
his investment in Texas oil fields. If
this is so Mr.. Towne's friends will be
glad to hear of his extreme good luck.
1t may be this streak of plutocratic
luck that has caused Charlie to pre-
dict Democratic defeat in 1904, and to
declare that free silver is dead. Per-
haps there is slight spirit of exulta-
ton in this and the sly kick he gave
Bryan, as he recalls how he was led
into accepting the vice-presidential
nomination at Sioux Falls and patted
ON the back by Bryan, only to be play
ed horse with at Kansas City.

Crop conditions in North Dakota
are reported fine. The intense heat has
not extended into that section and no
harm has been done. From various
sections of Minnesota the barley crop
is reported fine, but the. wheat crop,
with the exception now and then To-
cality or few scattered fields, is more
or less injured, the hot weather has
brought it forward too fast, and it
will be more or less shrunken Cuts
in first estimates are made ranging
from 10 to % per cent. Through Wis
consin on Wednesday there was a
heavy rain, which will bring out the
crops there in good shape. In Iowa
the corn crop is fine and promises a
big yield, it having not been injured
by the heat, with the possible excep-
ton of the southwestern portion. In
South Dakota showers over the state
have improved conditions greatly and
some good yields are reported. The
corn crop except in few localities
has not been injured, and the prospects
for good crop are fine.

A STARTLING STORY
TOLD BY A KANSAS CITY NEWS
AGENT.
In an Interview He Relates How He 40.
complished What Many Others
Have Failed to Do.


Have Failed to Do.
Jack Williams, Of No. 401 Delaware
street, says the Kansas City, Mo-, Jour.
nal, is well known as an enterprisinQ
news agent and thoroughly reliable
man. Hehad been sufferer from kidney
trouble and endured much pain from Is
until recently, when he tried DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and
with such success that within a short
time he was entirely and permanently
cured. To reporter he said:
"For two years had pains in the back
constantly, causing me serious inconven.
fence. But I did not attempt to do any
thing for my complaint until the latter
part OF last winter, when saw an adver-
tisement of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and decided to see what
they would do for me. I was relieved
within one week after I began taking
them ; the pains disappeared and so COM
plete was the cure that have not found
it necessary to take further treatment
nor have 1 been troubled at all by the
disease SINCE
Kidney complaint is an insidious dis
ease. First come almost unnoticed pains
in the back and some slight incon-
venience. The pains grow gradually
worse and the inconvenience greater till
finally, if not given medical treatment,
the person suffers awful torture and be.
comes unfit to follow his ordinary occu-
patton. Blood poisoning sets in, the
constitution is wrecked and death often
results. ...
Mr.. Williams took the one unfailing
remedy and was readily cured within q,
few weeks. His statement was sworn
to before Lionel Noise, notary public,
and the facts above will bear the most
searching investigation. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People will not only
effect o cure in cases similar to the one
above but, acting directly upon the blood
and nerves, are an unfailing specific
for such diseases as 1ocomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, ST. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, after-effects of the grip, palpi-
tation of the heart, pale and sallow COM
plexions and all forms of weakness

When Jules Verne wrote his story
Around the World in Eighty Days, F"
the world laughed and said it was a
good story, but was feat that could
be accomplished only in storyland.
And that was not SO many years ago
either. But the story became a back
number some time ago and the time
for trip was finally brought to IS
days by George Francis Train, and
has been accomplished in less than so
days by several. And now the record
has again been broken and about a
week cut off from the time Train re-
quired. Yesterday afternoon there
arrived in Minneapolis, Charles G.
Fitzmorris, who left for Chicago in
the early evening where he expected
to arrive early this morning, when he
would conclude globe trotting trip
in sixty-one days and thirteen hours.
He says he could have cut the time
four days under that, bu thad to wait at
Yokohoma that long waiting for their
steamer for Seattle.
