 elevated situation has protected her from the worst effects of the floods which devastate much of the region along the banks of the Mississippi, but she saw the big river climb long way up the bluffs in 1892, when height was reached by the waters at this point not before touched since 1857. though the rise of that year did not come up to the mark of 1s44.

YESTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET
The DesuItory Decline cont,nue

New York, May S.-The stock mar ket continued the desultory decline which developed yesterday and which was without special explanation be- yond the disposition of the professional traders to sell stocks. The sharp rally at the close in the stocks indicated that the selling had been perceived for short account. Another professional party when they proved that the shorts were attempting to cover endeavored to mark up prices upon them. This seemed to be the motive for the rapid advance of 3-S in National Railroad of Mexico preferred, which was with out other explanation. Amalgamated Copper and United States Rubber stocks moved upwards at the last and there was sudedn recovery in Dela- ware & Hudson. The late hardening in the market brought some prices slightly above last night and reduced the net changes in all cases to small proportions. The heavy tone of the market in the early part of the day was partly due to the sympathetic ef- feet of the relapse of 3-8 in St. Louis and San Francisco and the weakness of Rock Island in the face of reiter- ated assertions that the amalgan1ation of the companies had been completed. The weakness of stocks might be va riously attributed to the failure of the expected official announcement of tre deal, to disappointment over it's alleged terms, to profit taking on the com- pletion of the deal to surviving doubt whether the project would be complet- ed at all. The Wall street public has been much bewildered over all the suc- cessive developments in this matter. There was sale of United States Ship building at 2, whereas the recent quo- tations have ruled at bid and 10 asked.
 The indication in the violent de- clines among some dormant stocks had bad effect on sentiment. There was some ground for supposing that the transactions were forced for this pur- pose.

RIVER FLOODS.
They are Very Old Story in the Mis-
 sissippi Valley.

They are Very Old Story in the Mis-
 sissippi Valley.
 If Rufus Putnam, Arthur St, Clair, James O'Fallon, Auguste Chouteau and the rest of the early residents along the Ohio and the Mississippi were with us now they would be reminded of some of the inundations which they saw, but which we are apt to imagine have come only since the work of cutting away the forests began. All the Mississippis $ feeders, from the Ohio to the Gulf of Mexico, are out of their banks and are pouring their torrents into the great river. The White, the Arkansas, the Yazoo, the Red and the rest of the scores of streams in the lower Missis- sippi watershed are at or near the high est mark ever touched, and some of them are beyond the highest reach ever recorded. Vast seas cover the land- scape at many points between Cairo and New Orleans. Levees are breaking in some spots. In g. few places there has been loss os life. In many locali- ties there has been great destruction of property, and the worse, it is feared, is still to come. From St. Louis north- ward the inundation at its greatest height comes little later than this.
 But this is a. repetition of very old story, except that with the growth in population in the valley more persons are affected by the floods and a greater amount of destruction is done t'The river was of great depth and of strong current. There came down the river continually many trees and timbers which the force of the water brought down." This is the entry in the chron- icle of the wanderings of De Soto through the southern part of the pres ent United States. The river referred to was the Mississippi and the old Spanish conquistadore had struck it in April. The Great river, as he named it, had it's annual spring rampages then just as it has now, although at the spot where he struck it, at the Chickasaw bluffs, he could watch the big streams antics without any peril to him or his army. The things which the "Gentle- man of Elvas." the title of the person who wrote the passage here quoted, saw in 1541 differed in no essential par ticular from that which people in Ken lucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana see in 1903, ex- cept that the only residents on the riv- CTS banks then were the Indians, and they always got up in the highlands be- fore the deluge came and stayed there until it ended.

Primary Election Law

Editor Sjoblom, of the Minneap:
oils Telegram, takes fall out. of the
primary election law in the follow.
ing manner: " -. u.
We are well aware of the fact
that we shall call down on ourselves
a storm of knockers, - "politi.
cians," boss ring rule, " ma
chine" ETC., ETC., ETC., etc, ETC.
but that does not alter the fact that
the present primary election law is
a great big fraud. We do not care
a snap of our finger, personally,
whether the law is repealed or not.
AS the owner of newspaper, it is
dollars in our pocket to have it re-
main as it is-and as a pure busi-
ness proposition we could afford to
pay couple of thousand dollars to
have it extended to state officers.
We could get double the amount the
first three months of the year or
more in which candidates for state
Offices would attempt to get their
names before the people. In Min
neapolis, each candidate is worth
from SIS to 800 to $500 to a newspa-
per that wants to 60 into the busi-
ness. But that does not make the
law less a fraud in our eyes. The
great objection to it is that it per-
mits of no deliberation. Each voter
gets one guess. The nominees
are responsible to no one-for the
vote is secret. The better element
splits up, and nominations are acci-
dents. It is money in the pockets
of the newspapers and we can
stand it as long as anyone. But we
cannot help but laugh when we hear
or read about it's being in the inter
est of the people, >.-'

SCHOOL NOTES.
By superintendent e. Frankly

By Superintendent e. Franklyn.
There is no better place to teach
good manners than in our schools.
l know of nothing that affords me
more pleasure than to see boys and
girls with good, easy, free manners.
With good manners go cleanliness.
One of my teachers scrubbed a boys
hands while I was present, and I'm
sure that she will make good house.
keeper. Dirty hands means dirty
papers and books, and usually indi-
Gates sluggish brain.
1t is much better to have the little
ones out at play than idle in the
school house. ''Satan finds some
mischief yet for idle hands to do"
Are the school boards sure that
their school houses are ready for
winter? A few spats of plaster off
the walls will cost four times their
real value, before the long winter is
over, in wood and doctor bills.
Was your school house cleaned be-
fore school started? It should have
been.
Many pleasant school has been
spoiled by not cleaning the stove
pipe in time.
The school house on yonder hill is
probably the only public building
belonging to the district. Cities
and countries take great pride in
theirpublic building, their churches,
their halls, their libraries. Yonder
school to the district is all of these.
Then let us take an interest in that
little quaint building, and also what
goes on there. Let us see to it that
the small lot of ground surrounding
it is clean and free from weeds and
debris; and that the building itself is
not cut and marked by the knife and
pencil of the idler. It is a crime
so to mark or mar our school house.
Any one shooting through the doors
and windows should be the enemy
of the district and and should be fol
lowed, caught and punished, for he
is tft for the comps Of allsgood
men.
On Sept. 29th I heard an excellent
chart lesson. The teacher worked
for expression and clear pronunci-
alton, and what is still better she
got them. ~
District No. 20 has only few
scholars. More scholars areneeded
in this school, and what is sad, is
they are in the district if the parents
would only send them. The few at
tending are bright pupils and are
advancing rapidly.
District No. %, West house. A
busy school. With few new books
and a new primary chart and that
library that is ordered and 22 will
be among the best equipped schools
in the county.
District No. 95. A busy school, a
live teacher 'Tis easy to predict
the outcome.
District No. &c. Excellent work,
new library. It would be more
helpful to both teachers and school
if it were kept in the school house
during the school months.
District No. %. Twenty-Five pu.
pills enrolled. Books are we'll worn.
New maps are generally needed.
Even good teacher, may be handi.
capped by poor material.

Sept 28.-It has been some time
since we have contributed our mite
to your valuable paper. Hope you
will excuse us this time if we will
do better in the future. Well, we
have been SO busy since we came
back from the, west coast that it
seemed almost impo Bile for US to.
notify you that we have returned.
We enjoyed ourselves to the ut
most while we were gone. We saw
so many of our relatives that we
had not seen for SO many years.
Some of them we should never have
known if we had met them any
where else but at their home..
Many of them are getting gray heads:
as well as myself. -
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson, from Ore
gon, are visiting at Mr.. Knud A.
Moen's. Mrs. Johnson is Mr.. Mo-
ems daughter. She made them a
visit about 10 years ago. -
G. M. Wymer was up from Thief
River Falls last week visiting old
friends and relatives; he formerly
lived here; he has sold out his hotel
at Thief River Falls and will 20 to
California next month, where he has
bought property. We wish him
prosperity when he gets to his new
home.
The Barneko boys are hustling
the threshing these fine days. We
think the grain is yielding very
well as we hear no complaint.
Brent Lokebo has removed his
blacksmith shop over to Ingalls,,
and is. ready to help any and all
who want any thing in his line of
business, at reasonable prices.
The men and teams are and have
been for several days, returning
from Dakota and elsewhere, from
threshing. ..
We notice in the SHEAF of Sept,
24th that certain young woman
arrived, with her four children,
from Norway, and her husband was
to meet her at the depot, but failed,
so she went to a hotel. Next morn
ing he came after her but had to
stop into one of your city saloons
and got so full that the team ran
away and threw most of them out.
Now, Mr.. Editor, what more can
you expect, than such cases, when
your city has voted to sell license
to do just such kind Of business.
Do not blame the man any more
than the ones who sold him the
stuff he drank. Better vote no Ii.
cense as every one knows there are
many such men. Then they can
/ get it so well.
