Excel.

May 4, l903.-The State appropri-
ated $500 for a bridge to be built
across Thief River in Excel. Said
bridge has been needed for many
years, and it is to be a good, sub
stantial iron bridge, too, to accommo-
date the large amount of travelling
that passes over it from all over the
eastern part of Marshall county.
The money is to be expended under
the direction of the county commits
sioners. Representative H. O. Han
son, did we'll for Excel, also county
commissioner Jens P. Jensen, for
getting up the petition, and county
attorney Greeley E. Carr for his
good advice, have earned the thanks
Of this town. Other good men also
rendered valuable help in circulat-
ing the petition It is the work of
only strong repubi bicans and shows
that they can ''push things and
get something done when they
start out to do it.
Excel and the whole country
around will be both proud and glad
to have such a great public i'm
provement as good iron bridge.

GENERAL CONDITIONS,

The week was cold and wet. The
minimum temperatures we're below
the freezing point from morning of
April Goth to the morning of May 1st
in nearly all parts of the state, and
in someportions till morning of the
4th. On the Both the minimum
temperatures in western and north
central coun ties were below 20 de-
grees, and in the same region the
highest temperatures of the 29th and
Both were below the freezing point.
There were general rains on the
28th, except in middle western and
some southern portions, which turn,
ed to snow late in the day, or on the
29th, with a fall of snow which
ranged from trace to from 4 to 6
inches, and which in some places
was piled into deep drifts. The
snow soon melted. There were
rains late in the week also. In the
southwest corner of the state a
severe sleet storm on the 18th cover
ed the ground, trees, wires, etc.,
with thick coating of ice. The soil
was frozen on the coldest days to
considerable depth, and it remained
frozen till late in day, or all day, so
that very little work in the soil
could be done. The heavy soils in
southeastern counties are saturated
with water; farther west little
plowing has been done during the
week for corn and fax on high and
lightsoils, but in the whole state the
amount of work done this week is
very little. The early sown grains
are coming up and growing slowly. +

A PECULIAR CODE OF LAW.

A very peculiar exclusiveness per-
vades the whole affair OF the Brigade
OF Guards says the London Tatler.'
They have a vocabulary of their own,
n peculiar code of law. and even their
drill IS different from that Of other
regiments. The unfortunate part OF the
system Of Raging is that while many
sensible men recognize that IL is a most
effectual way of dealing with men who
commit social offenses, yet when cases
are brought to the notice OF the author
tiles they feel bound out of deference
to public opinion TO express their dis
approval OF IL whatever their private
feelings may be. The most recent in
stance of Raging" which led to Col
oneI KinlOch's resignation. has caused
an immense amount OF discussion even
in non-military circles. but till all the
facts OF the case are made public II
