AN INCREASED ACREAGE.
First Crop Report Received BY Gen.
eral Agent Johnson.

From Mondays Daily.
The first crop reports for the sea-
son for the territory along the North
Western road west of Winona city have
been issued by General Agent A. G. John
son, summary of which follows:
During months of August, September
and early October, 1908, we had almost
continual rainfall. This moisture pene-
trated to depth of 31s to feet, and
has been reserved by freezing, thus plac-
ing the ground in excellent condition
from an essential moisture viewpoint,
and in comparison with former years is
is much more favorable.
There is less old ground plowed than
in former years caused by extending the
threshing season late, and the har-
vest also being so very late, and the
two causes extending over longer per-
iod than usual did not permit of other
work than harvesting and threshing, at
least to the extent of former years. How
ever, there is an increase in new plow-
ing making an increased acreage.
We are positive there will be an in
crease of all kinds of grains produced in
the three states, estimated as follows:

SHOT AN OUTLAW.
Former Resident of Gable Mills Dis
tineuishes Himself Out West.
From FRIDAYS TtaIly

CiOlu l. ifueiy DoiJ'
Many of the readers of The Herald
will remember the Doak family which
formerly owned the farm on which the
Cable Mill is now located Howard
Doak, a nephew of William Detamore,
was born and raised there The Spokes-
man Review of Spokane, Wash, under
date of March oath, recalls the name in
giving an exciting description of the ar
rest of an outlaw, Jack Gringles, in
which Howard Doak took part as deputy
sheriff. 1t seems that Gingless has al
ways been desperate criminal and that
he has been pursued many times by
officers, but has always escaped in some
daring manner.
This time the posse of which Doak
was member, located him in his cabin
in the foothills and determined that he
should not escape. The cabin was sur
rounded and a careful advance gained
them the house. In bursting in Gingles
was aroused and desperate hand to
hand melee ensued; five shots were fired;
and Gingles was captured but not alive.
The account speaks well for the brav-
cry of Doak. He was in the thickest
of the fight and one of the wounds receiv
ed by the dead man, came from his gun.
The coroner's jury brought in verdict
of ''killed while resisting arrest" Good

HOW 1T HAPPENED.
John T. May Has Runaway.-Thoughts
Disturbed.

From Fridays Daily.
In response to the many inquiries as
to show it happened in regard to the
recent runaway of the team of the popu-
lar rural carrier ON route 3, John T..
May, the following explanation is given:
Some of the gear on his delivery wagon
had become out of working order and
John was driving along Fourth street on
his way to have the same repaired when
all of a sudden the front wheel with
the necessary attachment dissolved part
nership with the rest of the concern. The
horses became frightened and went a
two-mile gait toward Front street.
Rudely awakened from his pleasant
thoughts about the prospect of an in
crease in wages, John in a hurry to learn
the cause of this interruption tried to
Jump through the small window in the
front of his delivery wagon but did only
half succeed owing to his strong belief in
the expansion policy. Luckily neither
John nor the horses were hurt badly
though the wagon was a sorry sight.
That's how it happened.

blend. Many are the divorce cases that
are arising because the man and woman
cannot come within the same intellectual
and moral sphere.
Passing now to the class of women
who desire to be society bellies, he said
such women always bad before their Wis
ion the idea of catching some one. She
tried to be little prettier and more at
tractive than the next one. She found
out what man she wanted and what his
tastes were and adjusted her appearance
accordingly. She veneered herself, as it
were, to suit the tastes of the man she
sought. She tried to appear to be ex-
actly what he desired. After the mar
riage the veneering was bound to crack
and fall away, sooner or later. Then the
real woman in her actual character ap-
peared.
The queens of the homes were develop
ed in the church. The other class, the
bellies, were developed in the ball room
and dance hall.
A sensible man might fiirt with the
ball room girls, but when he came to
choose wife, he would invariably choose
the queen that the church had develop

G|RLHOOD'S DANGERS
A Simple and Certain Method by
Which Chlorosis, a Frequent
Affection Of Growing Girls
MAY be Overcome.

Every mother knows that the danger
line in the development of girl is
crossed at the point where girlhood and
womanhood meet. This critical point
cannot be too closely guarded. Care in
sures robust health; neglect means liv-
ing misery.
Mrs. E. O. Young. Of No. 3O3 Lynn
street, Ithaca, N. Y, was safely brought
through her girlhood's trying period by
simple course Of treatment, after
physicians had failed to help her.
"When was seventeen" she says,
II began to fail In health and, in spite
Of all the medicines our family doctor
gave me, I continued to grow worse.
Neither he nor another doctor who also
attended me seemed to be able to reach
the cause Of my trouble. It was chloro-
sis, they said, form Of an@mia with
which girls Of about that age are often
afflicted. was troubled with shortness
of breath, hadn't a bit Of color and
couldn't go upstairs without being all
tired out. My limbs were dreadfully
swollen and my appetite entirely gone.

doctor recommended glasses, but the
glasses did not cure them. Each month
I suffered great deal of pain and was
very irritable.
"This condition kept growing worse
for three years until finally it became
intolerable and began to hunt eagerly
for some remedy that could effect GER
tain cure. Finally found friend who
said she had been cured of a similar
trouble by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, after her case had been
pronounced hopeless. Upon her strong
recommendation I decided to take this
remedy. Relief was almost immediate
and after using the pills for short time
was cured altogether and have re-
manned perfectly well and strong ever
since"
The value of such remedy is beyond
the power of words to express, for it de-
termines the happiness of lifetime. DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are
sold by all druggists, or will be sent
direct from DIR. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, postpaid on receipt

ST. CLAIR SCHOOLS.
Needs Of the Educational Institution Of
That Village.

from Mondays Daily.
AT meeting of the local school board
Thursday evening, in considering the
corps for next year, there was little delay
+ deciding its personnel, Principal Setch-
field, Miss Odjard of the seventh and
eighth, and Miss Freeman, of the third
fourth and fifth, being reappointed. Miss
Wingen, of st. Clair, was chosen to
preside over the destinies of the little
ones.
Talking about schools the st. Clair in
stitution of learning is a good one.
Steadily it has forged ahead until it is
now ready to be placed on the regular
graded list. The coming year it will
so add to its curriculum as to enable it
to give two years high school work.
Its literary, society and reading table,
together with the up-todate methods
with which its affairs are administered
make it worthy of the respect and ear
nest support of every citizen. 1t is
not often that, in an inland town, such
well-conducted public school is seen.
As to support-what it chiefly needs is
upper grade students who will stay the
year through. What with the fall
ploughing and spring seeding, many
bright and ambitious youths are afford
ed but slender opportunity to take ad-
vantage of that which is ready to build
Wouldn't it pay to make just a little
more effort and let the boy have his
schooling by the year instead of by the
month? Some times it may be impossible
but the question is worthy of consider
alton not only by patrons of this, but
those of every rural school.
At high noon Thursday in the Luther
an church, Mr.. and Mrs. John Fitzloff,
old settlers in this community, after fifty
years of welded bliss, were remarked
by the Rev. Mr.. Dysterheft. After the
ceremony the wedding party repaired to
the home of the bride and groom who
were the recipients of suitable congrat-
ulations, many of which were accom-
panied by remembrances in tangible
form.
E. Dudley Parsons in the Congrega-
tional church is giving a series of ad-
dresses on the commandments. Last eve
ming the subject was generally introduce
ed, the development of the idea of Mono
theism being traced and the influence of
the life of Moses on his attitude shown.
Next Sabbath the subject will be based
on the second commandment.

Each year brings higher class OF
farming. AS land becomes more valu-
able better farming is the result and
the old manner of poor farming has
entirely disappeared, and the fact that
corn acreage has increased so rapidly
and such ground usually followed with
small grain advances the standard.
We think prospects are excellent. We
have for a foundation larger acreage,
better farming, per cent increase in
new ground, and more than usual reserve
moisture, with fairly early season, and
a larger number of farmers to perform
the work
