River valley many grain fields were

temperatures were above 90o in the
southern part of the State every day,
except on the Goth, and nearly 100 Q on
the 9th, 25th and Goth. This great
and continued heat was very severe on
man and beast, and many prostrations
are reported The abundant rainfall
and high temperatures have caused a
rapid growth of all vegetation, and all
crops, except flax, are very promising
on the whole. Barley, which is very
rank, and oats have lodged in small
areas. Wheat seems to have a strong
plant, and no injury is reported, except
in some very wet parts of Polk and
Norman counties. Rye is ripening
rapidly, and its harvest begins in the
south on July 1st. Winter wheat will
soon be ripe. Corn is improving, but
some of it is still small, and some fields
are grassy. Flax is uneven; much Of

SMALLPOX.

The Disease May Make a Few Good
Indians.
Advices from Lawrence state that
the settlers there are having quite a
smallpox scare. There are between
200 and 800 Indians there, who have
gathered from all sections of the lake
country to hold their annual medicine
dances. Two we'll developed cases of
smallpox had been discovered in their
camp on June 26 and the whole crowd
had been exposed. The settlers fear
that the loathsome disease will spread
all over that part of the country if i'm
mediate steps are not taken to quaran-
tine the red men and the town board
of health feel that they are helpless in
the face of such throng. The county
has been asked to lend a hand and the
State will probably be called upon to
assist. The settlers believe that the
only thing that will restrict the spread
is to round up the rowing aborigines
and turn them over to the authorities
at the agency-where they properly
belong,

Senator Clapp and Boys.

Senator Clapp in a speech at St. Paul
recently, said; II tell you gentlemen,
the trouble with our youth lies with
their parents. They are too fond of
seeing their boys wear creased pants;
stand up collars and the like, and not
want them to soil their hands. This
country has great and glorious des-
tiny, but in spite of ourselves, we are
forced to doubt when we see the path
way which many of our youth are fol-
lowing. You must remember that
back of all our institutions there is a
great material physical force and there
is the great manufacturing in this
country. Our youth ought to think
more of what is really good and fit for
themselves and then follow their des-
tiny with answering steadiness
They ought not to be afraid to soil
their hands or to do physical labor. If
a man is a mechanic he is something"

1t will be seen by referring to our
legal columns that the village council
has taken steps to lessen the liability
of accidents from the small boys de-
ight-the giant frecracker. For
years the manufacturers of these Gin
ger amputatorso have been increasing
the size and of late years have been
adding to the danger by using dyna-
mite as an explosive. While Prince
ton has not yet recorded a serious acct
dent from these TERRIERS, there have
been scores of lucky escapes This,
year the urchins started in early with
their celebration and no matter how
small the boy if he had the price he
could secure bomb. MUAday evening
the council passed resolution RESTRICT
ing the sale and use of frecrackers
OF larger size than six inches in
length, but when the dealers were in
formed of the action they defed the
council and warmly roasted that body.
This action was illtimed for it stirred
the ire of the village fathers and a
special meeting was called at which
an ordinance was passed prohibit
ing the sale and use of the large size
cannon firecrackers. The publication
this morning puts it into full effect.
The authority of the council in this
matter cannot be questioned for the
charter adopted in 1889 specifically
gives it this power-under this provis-
ion it is given the power to totally
prohibit the sale, not only of firecrack-
ers but fireworks as well-and it will
be we'll for the dealers to heed the
warning already given.

Company G. NAV Go.

e. Ear SONS time arrangements have
been under way for the taking of the
entire Third regiment to the Buffalo
exposition early in September. Last
Monday evening company G. received
notice that the prospects were bright
for the trip, the rate for the trip in
Guiding transportation and food being
less than 500 per man, from St. Paul.
This makes it very cheap for most of
the companies, the older ones having
in their treasures enough available
funds to take their members without a
personal outlay of penny, while 9th
ers are able to cut the cost to $40. Our
company, being newly organized, has
nothing of this sort, but several prom
inent men have said they wished to see
Princeton represented by it's company
and were willing to contribute some
thing toward fund to be used for that
purpose. A soliciting committee will
be appointed soon and a canvass made
and it is likely the boys will give a
series of entertainments of some sort
to add to the fund. While of course
the trip will be principally one of
pleasure, such a journey will add con-
siderable knowledge to the boys store
and will be otherwise beneficial. It
never hurts anyone to get away from
home and see how things are done in
other communities. '.-.--

Fire in Clearing, It's Effect on Soil. i

Fire in Clearing, Its Effect on Soil.
The fertility of soil does not depend
entirely upon the amount of plant food
it contains: To enable plants to take
up this food it must become soluble.
But when it is brought to soluble
form, if the plants do not take it up,
much of it is washed away and lost.
In most soils under natural conditions
plant food is being liberated about as
fast, as the vegetation which grows
thereon is able to make use of it. A
second and equally important factor in
the production OF crops is the presence
OF sufficient quantity of water in the
soil. Water constantly evaporates or
drains away from a soil in absence of
rains, and if there were nothing to
check this process it would damage
the crops more often than it does. X,
In it's native state every fertile soil
is filled with fragments of roots, leaves
and grass, when this material is parti-
ally decayed, it is commonly spoken
of as humus. Humus acts like
sponge. It absorbs and holds water in
the soil and immensely increases it's
power to withstand drought. The de-
cay of >humus helps to liberate the
plant food. The beneficial effects OF
humus in these two directions become
more apparent and more necessary, the
sander the soil.
Many consider that sweeping fires,
that burn large portion OF the tim
Der, are benefit in reducing the cost
OF clearing. This is true, but in the
burning almost all of the ground litter
and much of the humus in the soil is
apt to be destroyed. If the soil is in
clined to be sandy its fertility will be
seriously injured. In the deliberate
use of fire in clearing, great care
should be taken to destroy as little of
this litter as possible. Never post
pone burning the brush heaps until it
is so dry that the fire will burn fercely
over the ground. The more of this
material that can be plowed under, the
better the prospect for the future.
