'0EvIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.
North Dakota and Northern Mime
sofa Developing Rapidly.
From FRIDAYS Dali

rTOm rIiudy Dohy'
Robert Lamm and Hans Jorgensen re-
turned last night from their business
trip of the past four days through parts
of North, Dakota and northern Minneso-
ia. On all sides they saw evidence of
prosperity in this rapidly developing
country. The little cities are prosper
Gus and rapidly growing. All the people
seem to feel good and are willing to let
90 of their money. The little city
of Oaks is putting in new gasoline
lighting plant. Fargo is going to have
a splendid street railway, running across
the Red River of the North to Moor
head.
The contrast between the appearance
of things at Fargo and at Moorhead is
truly remarkable. Moorhead with its
forty or more saloons, and the $40,-
900 in license fees that the city gets
every year, does not seem to have near
ly the push and energy in the matter OF
public Improvements as has Fargo with
out any saloons. Fargo seems to have
the ready money and plenty of credit for
all needed improvements.
: Yet great deal of Fargo money must
without question be spent in Moorhead
on liquor. Hacks, or flag wagons" make
business of taking people across the
bridge to the saloons and bringing them
back to their homes after they have
become so stupefed with liquor that
they can find their way home without
help.
The farms of northern Minnesota and
North Dakota, especially in the latter
state, look magnificent. Prospects are
excellent for a bountiful crop.
Mr.. Jorgensen, while in Minneapolis,
was struck with the beauty of a street.
that had just been paved with blocks of
wood, hardened and prepared according
TO a newly invented process. The street
is so smooth that it could be swept as
easily as a house floor. Mr.. Jorgensen
is making a study of this kind of pave
ment and possibly his conclusions will
have some bearing on future acts of the
city council, in the matter of paving the
streets of Mankato.

BATTLESHIP IOWA
ONE RESULT OF HER ACTIVITY
IN THE SPANISH WAR.
An Experience of One of Bob Evans
Marine Engineers-A Direct Legacy
of the Days Of Action.

An Experience of One of Bob Evans
Marine Engineers-A Direct Legacy
of the Days Of Action.
The part played by the U. S. battle
ship Iowa at Santiago and elsewhere in
West Indian waters during the Spanish
war, is well known. People, however,
hardly dream of some of the far-reaching
consequences of the discipline which
had then to be maintained.
One of the brave men aboard the Iowa
bore about with him for several years a
very unpleasant reminder of his service
ON that famous ship. This man is Mr..
George E. Parquette, now residing at
1916 Sixth avenue, Troy, NY. who was a
marine engineer on the Iowa when. un-
der command Of Captain Bob Evans, she
was performing brilliant exploits in bat
tie and in filibuster chasing in Cuban and
Porto Rican waters. Of those stirring
times Mr.. Parquette says:
whenever we were expecting an en-
gagement our meals were very uncer-
tain, and, when we did eat, we had to
be minute men, The constant anxiety
and haste affected my stomach and put
it in a very bad condition which lasted
for four years notwithstanding the fact
that I was under doctors care. I
could scarcely keep anything on my
stomach and suffered greatly from
steady pains in the lower part of it. My
appetite, too, was very poor and for four
months was in bed.
"Other troubles developed. I had
severe headaches, and at times I felt as
if something was clutching at my heart.
My blood got out of order and I had
fever and coughing spells. My stomach
finally became so bad that do not
think it could possibly have been worse
when, in the fall of 1903, I first heard of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and began the course of treatment which
gave me surprising relief at once and
finally cured me-"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills agree with
the most delicate stomach and create an
appetite. They put the stomach in a
condition to digest the food and insure
its proper assimilation. They expel poi
sons from the blood and they rapidly
build up weakened constitutions and
give new vitality to overwrought nerves.
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world

PREDICTED BY FOSTER.
Kind of Weather in Store for the Next
Fortnight.

Washington, D. =, May 2S.-The last
bulletin gave forecasts of a disturbance
| to cross the continent june 2 to 6, warm
wave June l to 5, cool wave June to s..
The next disturbance will reach the Pa
cific coast about June s, cross west of
the Rockies by close of June 8, great
central valley June 10 to II, eastern
states June l3. A warm wave will cross
west of the Rockies about June s, great
central valleys June 10, eastern states
June y. A cool wave will cross west
of the Rockies about June H., great
central valleys, June l3, eastern states
June 10.
This disturbance will be initiated by a
great high temperature wave preceded
and followed by very low temperatures.
Intensity of weather events will not be
so great as in preceding storm which
will be at its greatest force near June
l6 on meridian 90-earlier west, later
east
| Dangerous storms may be expect
ed not far from June 10. Old readers
will understand me but new readers
are slow to comprehend these short
statements BY reference to my wea-
| Their bulletins the old and careful reader
| will understand that l expect that dis
turbance to be one day east of meridian
90 on June 10. That would place it
in the Ohio valley and on the lower
lakes. But it may be little behind that
or little east of these points. The wea-
ther maps viii locate the storm center
on that or any other day for their hind
casts are good But wherever that storm
center is on June 10Th moderately dan
| eerous storms will occur 100 to 300
miles southeast of its center as it moves
eastward.
A long spell of cold weather will fol-
low May %, fiuctuating but low tenn
peratures continuing till after June 7
on meridian 80, little earlier west later
east of that line. Then will follow a
| week of hot weather. From June Is to
| % will be another hot period, followed
by falling temperatures to close Of
month.
I have only recently learned of the
excellent weather records kept by the
United States naval observatory at
Washington, D. G. I knew they were
keeping record but not that it was con-
| tinuous back to 1888. I believe it to
be the best record in the United States.
I am at work on that record and when
it is prepared propose to use it in max
ing forecasts for the District of Column
bia and Washington in competition with
the United States weather bureau. By
its use believe I will be able to make
better forecasts for Washington thirty
days in advance than the weather bureau
can make three days in advance. The
United States weather bureau is exceed
ingly unpopular in Washington, both
with the newspapers and with the people.
Ridicule of that institution is heard on
every hand and absolutely not good
word for that department of our gov
eminent over which Chief Moore pre-
sides.

WON BY THE ELDERS.
St. Clair Witnesses a Fine Article of
Base Ball.

Following the st. Clair field and track
meet previously reported, there came the
ball game between the school uniform
ed nine and picked nine from the alum
nj. Delane and Lubke were the points
for the school boys while Schallow and
Beyersdorf did the business for the
graduates. Delane is little wonder as
he held the bigger boys down in fine
shape until the eighth inning He has
fine form and will undoubtedly be heard
from. His catcher throws like a pro-
fessional. 1t took eleven innings to de-
eide the contest, the older boys winning
by score of 10 to 8.
In the evening the entertainment was
a success. Especially good features were
the school choruses, girls drill, a little
dialogue between Sadie Dooley and Miss
Bowe, and Miss Pearl Falin's rendition of
"How Rubie Played" A large crowd
was present, the capacity of the hall be-
ing greatly taxed. Mr.. Setehield present
ed the prizes won at the field meet. There
were things from all parts of the ami
NAL, vegetable and mineral Kingdoms:
everything being most useful and taste
full and tasty.
All around, st. Clair has not ex-
perienced greater day for years than
this. 1t did'a great deal to bring teachers
pupils and parents together and put the
school before the public as most worthy
of attention. Mr.. Setchfeld, the princi-
pal deserves great credit for his work
and his assistants, the Misses Odjard
Freeman and Gerlach have worked heroic
ally to aid his plans.
