To Take Up Floating Debt.

While the cost of completing the
waterworks system is estimated at
only 5000, yet the council have
decided to submit the question OF
issuing bonds, and have placed the
amount of the bonds at $4,000. The
object of this $1,000 excess IS to take
up a floating dept of nearly that
amount which has been contracted
during the course of the past years in
making connections with consumers.
The village bears the expense of lay
ing the pipe as far as the curb, and
it is this expense. which it is now
proposed to fund along with the
amount necessary to complete the sys-
tenn. The advantage of finding is
that the bonds will not call for as
heavy interesOt as the floating orders
do

On The Subject OF Grades.

The council has undertaken the
task of establishing street grades for
the different business and residence
streets of the town. Tne work OF
finding present levels and making
profIes of the streets has been begun
by Mr.. Wheaton. He has already
finished Atlantic avenue, and will
presently take up Pacific avenue and
during the summer, the remainder OF
the streets.
The street crossings OF Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh streets with Atlantic
avenue we're taken as on grade.
From Seventh to Sixth streets the
grade is about level. The sidewalk
on the west side of the street is on
the grade, while the sidewalk on the
east side ranges from ~ecided dip
to little above grade.
From Sixth to Fifth streets, there
is drop of 80 inches. Nj. Krueger
has placed his new building on the
established grade, and the buildings
in this block will each vary three

Go Thou And Do Likewise.

New York Mills Journal: One of
our best citizens went into a store
and told the proprietor he had a list
of articles which he was going to
purchase, and thought he would send
his order to T. M. Roberto, but if he
could do as we'll at home as at Mime
apolis, he preferred pstronizing his
home merchant. The merchant looked
over the list, and said he would be
glad to fill the order at T. NJ. Roberts
price. The deal was promptly closed,
and the customer saved the freight
on his goods and kept the money he
paid for them in circulation at home.
Would it not be good plan, when
you are about to send sway for goods
to tell your home merchant what you
want and what you intend to pay?
In nine cases out of ten he could give
you as good if not better prices than
the Minneapolis house. You would
thus keep yonr money in circulation
at home and also benefit a neighbor,
who, naturally feels much more inter-
est in you and cares nothing for you.
Remember, whatever increases
neighboris prosperity tends to in
crease your prosperity.

Crop Bulletin.

The climate and crop bulletin OF
the weather bureau, for the week
ending May 81, 1901 says
Dry weather prevailed during the
week in the Red River valley; else
where there were showers on the 22nd
and 23rd, and in a few places on the
25th. The temperatures we're very
low for the season in the latter part
of the week, with frosts on the morn
ing of the 25th, which seem to have
been more severe in central, southern
and eastern portions than n the Red
RiYer valley, ice having formed at
some eastern and southern places.
The frost is said to have nipped
young corn, barley and tender gardens
stuff in some exposed places, but per-
manent injnry is not anticipated.
While the cool weather has not been
favorable to the best growth of corn,s
it has kept wheat, oats hnd barley in
a healthy condition and promoted
stooling. In parts of the Red River
valley the grains sown on the spring
plowed land need rain badly, but
those on the fall plowed land are
growing finely. In other parts of the
state the rains, though not heavy
enough to sink very deep into the
soil, have been of great benefit.
Flowing, fax seeding and some bar
ley seeding are still going on in the
Red River valley, but elsewhere all
seeding is finished, except some late
fax and corn and potato planting
are nearing completion. Early corn
and potatoes are up we'll, and in |
southern countries they are large
enough to cultivate. Timothy, clover |
and wild grass promise good hay
crops. In some southeastern coun-
lies barley has been affected by |
drought and chinch bugs. Winter

First Time Conducted By Citizens.
Decoration Day was bright and

For the first time, the exercises of

directed by the veterans thems elves.
The innovation is of interest as being
a precursor of the time when the
veterans of the great war will be pre-
sent in memory only, as on succeed
ing years the day for decoration of
the graves of the honored dead ar
rives.
In the loren oon, acc riding to the
program, the members of Overton
Post marched to the cemetery, and
there decorated the graves of aom-
rades, according to the usual cere
monies.
In the afternoon, the procession of
the post, the school children, Go. l,
the Indian School and Kid Bands and
the Woodman marched to the
opera house where addresses were
made by VIM. G. Bicknell and Rev.
F. M. Garland, A quartet composed
of the Misses Munro, Miss Dye, Mr..

School bands furnished excellent
music, and the exercises were con-
cluded by flag drill by number of

INDIAN GOLD HoARDERs.
Millions of Dollars Hidden Under ground by Natives. .s

-
 London Times. -t-
 About fifty milliards of francs Is said to be the total amount of the gold pro- duct of the two worlds since the discov- cry of America. And, strange to say. or this outpouring of gold which during four centuries has been scattered all oyer the world, an immense portion remains idle in India, where 1t has been embed
 ded. In India the gold returns to the earth and remains there more complete . ly hidden than 1t was in its original state
 The amount of gold brought into India during the past sixty years, that ls 70 say, from 1S3T to 1898. Is greater by three, milliards nine hundred and forty-three. millions of francs than the amount ex-e ported The soil of India absorbs the floods, of gold just as the sand of the deserts swallows the overflow of the great rivers. When 1t is remembered going on with little interruption for ten centuries and still continues under our eyes. 1t is easy to form an idea or the immense treasures that are hidden m that country. All this gold remains ster- iIe, and, consequently, is lost. It is ap- surd to say that it is brought into mone- tary circulation or that 1t passes through the hands of the native goldsmiths. 1t is disseminated in innumerable hiding places from which 1t never emergesa3
 In ancient times and up to. the period of the conquest and occupation by rne English individual property was not pro tected. The country rom one eilu " tno other was the prey of rival factions wno ravaged 1t ceaselessly and without mercy Princes and potentates as we'll as the small fry were squeezed and shorn con stantIy. To escape from the general rob bery the natives, great and small care fully concealed their money and tner values under ground. This inveterate habit became hereditary among them, so that today the natives do just what their ancestors did in past ages It IS estl- mated that milIiards upon milliards of francs in gold lie idle in the hiding places of India, and 1t Is known that this CO., IossaI treasure is In coin that dates back several centuries, at-4zt
