"A Man Named Russell, From Min.
neapolis' Makes Stir in
Louisiana.
He Introduces Bonanza Farm Meth
DDS and Overcomes Scarcity
Of Labor.

Is "our own" Bill Russe1l--the same who
| suddenly left town to dodge an indict-
ment-down in Dixie, showing southern
planters how to till the soil? q.
That Is a question which friends Of the
genial Bill are asking themselves, in view
OF clipping from the Daily States OF
New Orleans announcing that a mar,
named Russell, who came from Mime
apolis. is solving the problem Of scarce
laborSin the rice country by the introduce
ton OF steam plows. The article goes
| on to relate that Mr.. RUSSELL .who has
mad much experience in Wheat-raising in
| the lar northwest" bought the first steam
ploW to be used in the rice country and
Is now operating it on his rice farm OF
1000 acres, located five miles from Hous-
ton Tex. on the Southern Pacific road Il
He is now said to be blowing his land
at the rate Of forty acres day, his steam
ploW doing the work of thirty mules and
eight negroes.
A friend of the late Coffee john Fit
Ghetto informed him just after Dr. Ames
went to Louisville, that RUSSELL who was
then in New York city, had left for the
south. and at divers times since, rumor
has located him in different southern
states. Russell still owns considerable
property in Minneapolis, and Is supposed
to have been we'll fixed when he left the
city. Tenants who lease a store building
from Russell on Washington avenue N
and pay the rent to an agent, were I'M
able to say where their landlord could
be found They admitted that he might
be in the south.
The fact that no other Russell is known
to have gone to Texas from Minneapolis
lends color to the belief that it is really
the late member of the board of charities
and corrections.

Grain Men Consider Results-The
Rains Have Been Very Tn
evenly Distributed.
Advance in Price of Flax Is Expect
ed to Cause Increase in
Acreage.

Now thatthere is prediction of clear
ing weather. the grain men are sizing
up; the results. It is conceded that the
rainfall has been beneficial to wide
extent of country and has in great meas
ure increased the favorable prospect for
the northwestern crops. There is now the
assurance of abundant moisture for some
time to come. The rains have not been
SO beneficial, however, as might be sup
posed from local observation only. or from
superficial reading of the weather re-
ports. The distribution of the rainfall
has been irregular and uneven. Some To-
calities where there was no immediate
need of rain were soaked. Other 1ocali-
ties were scarcely touched. The precipi-
tation west of the Red River valley was
not heavy. and while Minneapolis, Grand
Meadow, New Ulm, Winnebago City and
Worthington were soaked, points in the
northern part of the valley and in north
ern and north central North Dakota had
scarcely any rain.
It Is dry north of the boundary line,
and while everything is favorable, there
has been no rain for some time and
good wetting down of the top soil is great
ly to be desired. Winnipeg reported no
rain to this morning. and light, dry winds.
The following table shows the irregular
ity of the recent rain distribution, the
density of precipitation at some points

Athletics at the university have reached
a crisis, il reliance may be placed on re-

70 contest with a first-c1ass college.
All or the teams in the conference seem
to belittle Minnesota and when a request
IS made for a meet Of any kind the foreign
teams assume the right to dictate terms.
The manager Of one. Of the conferences
teams says that. this condition of affairs
has been brough t,a bout 7hyt the unbusiness-
like methods of the. Minnesota manage

:ner football date with Illinois. to take on
wisconsin and that she must now EXPECT
to take just what she can get in. other
branches OF athletics. The managers Of
Iowa. of Chicago and Of Wisconsin have
alluded to Minnesota,s actions in the con-
ference in not very hattering terms.
Thus far during the present season Min
nesota has been unable to arrange q, meet
with ", teams outside of the conference.
Inc universities of North and South Da
kotaand Drake of Iowa have applied for
dates and unless Nebraska accepts the
oner OF Minnesota she will be classed with
these colleges for the present.
At the football conference in Chicago
last fall prominent manager said that
OF Minnesota continued to do business
under the present conditions, she would
soon be forced into a class by herself.
At the meeting yesterday the board
voted to offer Nebraska $3.50 to come to
minneapolis on May %. The action was
reconsidered and annuled and finally ap-
PROVED second time. If this offer is not
speedily accepted there Is every inf1ication
that the track team will. go on a, strike

season. The members are not at all en-
thusiastic over the matter and as CAPTAIN
Bockman is laid up with sprained ankle
they nave. few hopes Of success either In
