"The Government of Minnesota" by
Frank I. McVey. The Macmillan COM
pany, New York.
This volume belongs to the series OF
"Handboolls of American Government"
eolted by Prof. Lawrence, of Tufts col
lege. Massachusetts. AS rule a book
of this kind has relatively limited
patronage, but Prof. McVey has a happy
manner Of presenting uninteresting facts.
Not that the history of the state is dull
reading. On the contrary it is fascinat-
ing theme. and the few brief paragraphs
In Mr.. McVey's book concel ming the first
explorers of Minnesota, the Indian,
French and English domination of the
land, will send many students to the
libraries for fuller history of the North
west territory
Prof. McVey's book, however, is prin-
clpally tho history of Minnesotas govern
ment. The first two chapters deal briefly
with the states beginning and the next
two with "the general machinery Of the
government" The remainder Of the
book with the actual workings of the
machinery.
Although the book is primarily a text
book it's valuable and Interesting in
formation is presented in such way
as will make it of assistance to a much
larger class than the one Mr. McVey
modestly refers to in his preface

The authors scholarly style of pre-

for its pure diction; and the language IN
which many portions of the subject arc

seldom been equaled and never ex-

The admirable manner in which the

reading of easy assimilation. and it is
comprehensively educational to the high

are of high order. the typographical eff

specimen Of the bookinaker's art.
The book should meet with popular
reception throughout the entire North
west, not alone from It's great value as
an historical work, but from the fact
that Mr.. Armstrong has both dedicated
his book to the Minnesota Historical So

proceeds from the sale of the book to
this meritorious society.

HEAVY RAINS HAVE
 DAMAGED CROPS
Weather Bureaus Weekly Sum-
 mary of Conditions
CORN MATURING SLOWLY
Nearly All Reports Indicate an Excep- tlonally Light Apple crop-Rains Have Put Soil in Excellent
 Condition for Flowing.

Washington, D. C.. September H.-The Weather Bureau, in It's summary of weather and crop conditions for the week ended September 16 says:
 Heavy rains have proved unfavorable in the central and west Gulf states, in portions of the Ohio Valley and Ten nessee and upper Missouri Valley, while crops have suffered from drouth in the South Atlantic coast districts. East of the Rocky Mountains the temperature conditions have been favorable except in the upper Missouri Valley where 1t has been too cool and frosts were of quite general oecurance in some instances damaging In the plateau regions. Gener- ally favorable conditions prevailed In the Pacific coast states.
 Cool, wet weather has checked the ma turing of corn in Nebraska and South Dakota, but In the central and eastern districts of the corn belt the crop Is practically safe from frost and cutting is well advanced. Excessive rains In the central and western portions of the cot ton belt have caused serious injury to cotton and interfered with picking Cen tral and eastern Texas and portions of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi have received from two to ten inches of rain. Over the eastern half of the cotton belt the rainfall has been moderate or very light, the coast districts receiving no ap- preciable amount, the staple has opened freely and picking has progressed rap idly.
 Reports of rust and shedding continue from the central and eastern districts Except in Kentucky where heavy rains have interferred with the cutting of to- bacco this crop is largely secured, and the reports respecting 1t are generally favorable.
 All reports, excepting those from Kan sas. indicate an exceptionally light apple crop and higher winds of the past week have lessened the already unpromising prospects in Illinois and Indiana.
 The abundant rains of the past week have put the soil In excellent condition for blowing and this work has been rap idly pushed, although retarded by excess sive moisture in some districts Consid- erable seeding has been done and early sown wheat is coming nicely in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma,

 It is reflection on mans reason that he often refuses to do what common sense dictates, until he is forced to do 1t. Common sense tells a man that he cannot live irregularly and keep his health He is warned and admonished time and again that hasty eating and irregular meals result in diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition But because Nature does not directly threaten his life as the pistol does he goes right along until he is obliged to reform because disease forces him to do SO.
 UNHEEDED WARNINGS.
 It is only when all her warnings have been uuheeded that Nature no longer says uYou should not" but You shal. not" This is practically what happens when the lover of high living has to give up dainty dishes, sweets and condiments and come down to diet of oatmeal or tea and toast
 There are thousands of dyspeptics whose condition shuts them out from all the pleasures of the tt ble. There are thousands of others who are on the high road to like condition, unhe ding the warnings of the protesting stomach.
 The great fact is that every man and woman who suffers from dyspepsia can be aln-sst certainly cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It always helps. It almost always cures Only two people in every hundred who give "Golden Medical Discovery" fair and faithful trial fail of perfect and permanent cure.
