THINGS GROW VIGOROUSLY
Weather Bureaus Crop Report for the
Past Week.

The summary of the weather bu-
reau's climatic and crop bulletin for
Minnesota for the past week as follows: ::
"There have been no very warm
days, or unusually cool nights, during
the week. On the second of the
month there was considerable rain, ex-
cept in the Red River valley and in
the southwest on the 5th and 9Th,
there were general rains, which were
locally heavy, though in the south
west these rains were light; on the 18th
there were light rains in the southern
counties. The frequent rains have
caused continuation Of the vigorous
growth of tie small grains, grasses,
corn, potatoes, fax and weeds, except
on the low lands where there is too
much water, and the crops there are
suffering in consequence. Some of the
small rivers in the southeastern part
of the state have overaowed their
banks. Wheat, oats and barley have
stooled freely, and there is now danger
of their becoming so rank that lodging
will result. Winter wheat is in head,
and early barley is coming into head.
Corn is about all planted, and most
of it is being cultivated, though where
the rains were heaviest, cultivation
was stopped, and weeds are getting a
strong start. Potato planting is not
quite finished the earliest plants are
showing indications of blossoming.
Flax is making fine growth little
fax is still being seeded on new land.
Timothy on old meadows has fine
stand and good growth, and is begin.
ming to head. Glover is generally very
fine, and it is showing a few blossoms.
Sugar beets have good stand, and
they are growing we'll. The plum
trees are said to be thinly set with
fruit apples are also poor in sections.
A good stra Wberry crop is ripening.

ANOTHER INJUNCTION.
This Time Alderman Taylor is the
Defendant.

There is a misunderstanding be-
tween J. G. Rausch and Aid. Chas. 7.
Taylor, who own adjacent residence
property on Broad street, as to where
the line between their lots runs. Mr..
Rausch claims that where the fence
has been is several inches on his prop
erty. The fence is old, and the alder
man was having it repaired Tues
day, when Mr. Rausch appeared and
pulled up one of the posts. He then
sought the services of h. L. and j.
W. Schmitt and secured a temporary
restraining order, preventing Aid.
Taylor from going upon his property
or making any excavations. The
order is returnable July 7th at a
special term of the district court.
If the line should be found to be
where Mr.. Rausch claims ii is, then
Aid. Taylor's lot will over run the
line fence on the other side. Mrs.
Showers house is built on the line as
it has been understood, and she would
be placed in the position of having
her house partly on another person s
lot.
According to Mr.. Rausch's claim,
the old lines of the lots are about ten
inches out of the way.

WILL INVADE THE NORTH.
Southerners Will Come North in Large
Numbers.

General Passenger Agent W. 81.
Richardson of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois, who is spending week in
the northwest, predicts for Minnesota
and Wisconsin an invasion of South
erners during July and August.
81 am looking forward to the heavi-
est travel from southern cities to the
lakes and woods of these two states,
that has ever been carried, he said.
"Southerners have always been par
tial to Wisconsin resorts, but the in
quiry this year concerning the lakes
and woods of Minnesota has never
been equalled. These people have
money and are fond of coming north
and settling down for six weeks or
two months at some pleasant resort.
The travel should be very valuable to
the state.
"The movement will begin early in
July and until late in August it will
probably continue strong. Very many
southerners plan the Duluth to Buffalo
trip this year, coming north through
St. Paul to Duluth, and returning
through the east from Buffalo to their
homes.
"We are in a position to know of
this travel since our line connects the
south with the st. Paul Chicago lines
and the travel over to northern points
| is heavy.
Passenger traffic in our territory
and in the territory of our connections
mas been unusual. Last year we
showed an increase of IL per cent in
busines local to our 750-mile ilae, rep
resenting sos, 00O This year we have
already shown an increase of II per
cent over these figures.
"The south is prosperous At this
season it's people are planning northern
trips. The winter travel is largely Of
northerners going south and the sum-
mer travel the reverse. The former.
travel was exceptional and the latter
promises to be equally good -

Geo. H.. Clark's Residence Damaged
By Subtle Fluid,

During the storm Monday, Geo.
H. Clark's residence on South Broad
street was struck by lightning. The
bolt was a very large one and did a
good deal of damage. The rear
chimney was struck and that portion
above the roof was completely demol-
ished, fragments of bricks being scat
tered all over tine back yard and onto
the neighbors' premises. The plaster
on the ceiling of two bed rooms on the
second floor was knocked off, and the
thimble was knocked out of the aue
in the cellar and SCOT scattered around
everywhere.
A piece of brick was hurled through
the window at Prof Holtz residence.
Mr.. Clark and family were seated in
the front part of the house and did not
know that the house had been struck
until Prof. Holtz informed them of
the mishap to his window.
