RUSH HILL, May 20. = Weather
rather cool but crops growing.
Oats look so per cent better than
this time last year.
There will be a wonderful acreage
Of corn planted this season.
In northern Audrain we find many
farmers still planting corn.
AS is usual when seed potatoes are
high, there are hundreds of acres
planted.
Gardens and truck patches are need
ing rain, as all the moisture there is
now is on the extreme surface and
soon eyaporates.
Many of the citizens of Rush Hill
spent last week in Montgomery
City as witnesses in the Jones trial. A
few have returned but some expect to
be kept there all this week.
On a trip to the vicinity of Mt. Car
mel we noticed growing crops not look
ing so we'll as they do here and found
they did not get the big rain of the
18th inst. that we did. All through
this part of the country the cat crop
is very promising, and what wheat
there is is fine, heading out and bids
fair for a good crop. Corn is coming
nicely, very little replanting to do,
and many farmers have their entire
crop worked over. Several farmers
have bought haryesters and encour-
aged the implement dealers, while
Others are waiting to see If the recent
earthquake in those far away islands
will materially effect the crop in the
United States.

SOLD OUT.
". A. Whipple Retires From Active
Business After a Long and
Honorable Career.

To drop the name of V. A. Whipple
from the roll of the active business
men Of Sauk Centre is to leave con-
spicious blank upon the directory
page. For twenty-five years he has
been among the foremost in the active
business circle of the city, a large
factor in the lumber, trade supply
ing liberal share not to the city only
but in the tributary territory over a
radius of many miles. During all
these years he has gained the conf
dence, esteem and respect of all with
whom he has had dealings, as we'll as
the community at large, and his retire
ment will be sincerely regretted.
The soul of honor in his every husi-
ness transaction, it is but natural that
he has gained an eyer increasing
circle of patrons and his business has
steadily exspanded. He has pros
pered by earning prosperity. Success
came to him because he compelled it.
In 1880 Mr.. Whipple came to Sauk
Centre from Massachusetts, and pur-
chased half-interest in the lumber
business of Col. E. Bridgman, a
former New England neighbor, and
they continued to be partners, with a
trifling interim-for eight years, when
he purchased the Colonel's interest
and conducted the business alone.
When his son William arrived al
mans estate he associated him in the
business, and the title was changed to
v. A. Whipple & Son, and so re-
mained until the sale. The North Star
lumber company which operates a
number OF yards is the purchaser,
which includes the stock in trade, the
r,slestate, team and such fixtures and
appurtenances as are used in the
business.
Mr.. Whipple has no definite bust
ness plan in view, but it is safe to say
he will not be inactive long. May his
next enterprise tie him just as. closel,
to Sauk Centre. --..----...--

FRIGHTFUL WRECK.
A Great Northern Freight
Crashes Into a Northern Pa
cific Train at the Crossing.
Fortunately No Lives We're Lost.
But the Engineer and Fireman
Badly Injured.

About ten o'clock last Wednesday
night through freight on the Great
Northern road struck Northern Pa
cific freight composed of 500 cars
loaded with grain and an indiscrib-
able wreck resulted. The Great North
ern engine, a very large one, was dis
mantled, torn from it's trucks and left
on its side crosswise of the track,
and the cars in every stage of wreck
age from a reduction to fine kindling
wood to a mere warping were piled
upon the engine and along the track
for a distance of thirty rods. Piles of
lumber, fax and wheat scattered
about indicate the nature of the con-
tents of the cars. Just as the wreck
occurred Conductor Jolemo, Engineer
Tony Zins, Fireman Ernest Deschau
and brakeman were in the engine
cab. The conductor and brakeman
jumped and were uninjured. The en-
gineer and fireman were both severely
hurt, but not seriouly. Dr.. Kirghis
bound up their wounds and bruises.
They were pulled out from a mass of
wreckage, and the only wonder is that
they were not killed outright. Wreck
ing crews from Brainerd and Melrose
we're summoned and haye been at work
attempting to clear the tracks. All
trayel Oil both roads is suspended, the
passenger trains transferring around
the wreck and pulling back. The
night trains on the Great Northern
did not get away until nine in the
morning, 49,.
The responsibility for the wreck is
not clearly determined. The Great
Northern train should have, stopped
west of the crossing. The night was
very dark, 1T was raining and the fog
was SO dense that objects could not be
seen more than rod distant. The
grade is heavy just beyond the cross
ing, and the trainmen say they had
lost their bearing by reason of the
thick darkness-did not know they
were approaching the crossing.

A Grand Opening.

The opening of Guthman, & Abeles
Co. was splendid success notwith-
standing the foul weather. The store
was beautifully decorated with flowers,
evergreens and plants, the flag being
conspicuously prominent. The store
was brilliantly Illuminated with an
endless number of electric lights and
the goods so displayed as to be very
attractive. The symphony orchestra
furnished music afternoon and even
ing, and every adult was given a
handsome souvenir-the ladies a
piece of decorated china, the gentle
men pocket and memorandum book.
Fully $500 persons visited the store
during afternoon and evening. Over
1700 souvenirs were given, and as the
children did not receive any the esti-
mate is conservative. TWAS certainly
very notable event.

The "starvatIon Cure"

From the New York World.
 Of the making of ''cures," as Solomon said of books, there is no end" From Minneapolis comes word of the latest-the starvation cure"
 Mrs. Gertrude Young of that city nad had an apoplectic stroke and was badly crippled from its effects. Several doctors of the regular kind had treated her, but her case was like that described in the old cemetery couplet: "Afhictions sore long time she bore, physicians were In vain"
 As last resort she consulted one of the very newest school of "hea1ers'-the starveopaths. They are far in advance of the mere mind curers, who treat peo- pie without drugs The starveopadns treat them without drugs and without food.
 Mrs. Young was told to go home ana eat no meals for three time day TOT forty days, when her lameness would entirely disappear. And 1t did. After starving for thirty-nine days she died that is to say, passed on." One more day and she would have been completely rured-but her patience gave out. She was within twenty-four hours of demon- strating that a forty days fast Is a specific for apoplexy As 1t is-well 1t remains for some other poor, credulous creature to prove it.

 ''pll bet you a thousand dollars to . hundred" said a bystander, that Mir. Cleveland is nominated in 1904 by the democratic party, and that, as Mckinley was elected n 1896 by democratic votes, so will MT. Cleveland be elected in 1904 by republican business mems votes."

 have repeatedly called attention in thls letter to the effort of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad to tunnel through and under Manhattan borough to Long Is- land Resistance of one kind or another has been raised in the board of alder men against the tunnel, and the public press and individuals generally have been so desirous of having the Pennsyl- vania railroad carry passengers to the heart of the city that they have over looked the fact of the connection with Long Island The Pennsylvania railroad years ago bought the Corbin stock in the Long Island railroad and have controlled it. There was no reason for the Penn sylvania to handle this road if 1t were not that 1t was desirous of making 1t a part of their through trunk system through Jersey to Long Island under the borough of Manhattan. This Tunnel will be built and when 1t is completed the Pennsylvania railroad will show it's hand. It is determined to reach the sea at a point where 1t can ship its freight at the least possible cost. The establishment Of docks at Montauk Point will divert from New York and Jersey City a vast amount of business. Conceal 1t as they will, the fact nevertheless is that the prosperity of the port Is threatened by the railroad. Of course the Pennsyl- vania people scout "the Montauk Point specter," but deride 1t as they will the future will develop their design. A cheap and conclusively controlled sea- port is the aim and object of the Penn sylvania company. This corporation is now paying out millions in order to reach the heart of New York. rather to make of it a way station.

A Universal Virus.

The medical theory which has just been advanced by Professor William H. Welch of Baltimore before the London medical congress whereby all diseases to which humanity Is heir can be pre- vented or if already in existence made to speedily disappear by the use of universal virus is heartily endorsed by Dr. John E. Weyth of New York. He says it will not be long before every physician in the world will use this new virus in preference and to the absolute exclusion of any other drugs. He states that the best manner of administering the serum had not yet been determined.

 He desired to encourage the members of his class, to commit to memory cer- tain Bible verses. Sometimes the teach CT would quote a portion of the sen- tence, halt, and almost involuntarily the student would complete it.
