SOME WEATHER PREDICTED.
Foster Says Hail and Other Things
Are Due in July.

Washington, d. c., June 28.-The last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross the continent June 81 to July
l, warm wave, June 26 to 80, cool wave
June 20 to July 3. The next disturbance
will reach the Pacific coast about July 2,
cross west of the Rockies by close of
July 3, great central valleys July A to 6,
eastern states, July Z. A warm wave
will cross west of the Rockies about
July 2, great central valleys July 4, east
ern states July 9.
This disturbance will belong to great
fall in and an average of cool, tempera
lures, preceded by hot wave, followed
by cool wave of very low temperatures
and accompanied by severe wind, hail,
thunder and rain storms of small extent
but in many places.
The storms will be at their greatest
intensity west of the Mississippi within
twehty-four hours of Sap. m. of July 3,
particularly in Western Canada, on the
Pacific slope, Pacific coast and in the
Missouri valley.
These viii not be the great storms
of the summer; they will come later,
beginning within two days of August
IL.
July temperatures are expected to
average about normal, except in the up
per Mississippi and Missouri valley and
western Canada where they will average
above normal. Rainfall is expected to be
above normal in western Canada, the
Ohio valley and the northern parts OF
northeastern states. Elsewhere rains
and in spots of too limited extent to
designate here.
Hot wave will cross continent not fan
from July l, ID, 25; cool waves not fal
from July 7, 10, 80. Most severe storms
near July 8, l6, 30; heaviest rains OF
small extent near July 5, II, 26.
Sun spots are attracting general at
tention of orthodox scientists and they
are predicting severe storms during this
year, but they will not venture a guess
as to when these dangerous storms will
occur. This argues that they are not
scientists, that they are carbuncles, sap.
ping the substance of the peoples treas.
ury while they feed at the pie counter
supported by the public revenue.

TERRIBLE RAIN STORM.
Fergus Falls and Breckenridge Have
Their. Share Of Water.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, June 27.-This i'm
mediate section of the state is just re-
covering from the effects the terrific rain
storm of Wednesday night. At Brecken-
ridge four and onefourth inches of
rain fell during the night and at this
place four and one-eighth inches. In the
level country between the two places
there are thousands of acres of growing
grain under water today, although the
skies have cleared and the indications
are for fair weather.
Drs. Laffitte and Woolson, dentists,
are very nicely located here in the Man
haitian building, and have an excellent
practice. DR.. A. n. Woolson is an old
Mankato boy and his many friends will
be glad to know of his prosperity.
Another example of what boy who. is
willing to work hard and who has plenty
of pluck and ambition can do for him
self.

Kitten With Two Faces.
From Wednesdays Daily.

On Saturday the store cat in Roell's
grocery gave birth to two kittens.
Nothing unusual was thought of the
affair and nothing unnatural was noticed
in the little kittens until this morning
when one of them was foud to be dead.
in the nest. When the kitten was re-
moved it was discovered that it had two
perfect faces, with two mouths, two
noses and four eyes, but had only two
ears. Both faces were perfectly develop
ed and the kitten is a curiosity and has
been viewed by large number of peo-
pie today. Had the discovery been made
sooner that the kitten was unnatural,
efforts would have been made to pro--
long its life-Faribault Journal. i

REDUCED PAY FO7 CARRIERS
New Act of Congress Does Not Work
to Their Advantage
From Tuesdays Daily.

Rural mail carriers will be keenly dis
appointed when they learn the real effect
of the new law passed by congress, al
lowing $720 to each rural carrier per
annum. Really only ten per cent of the
carriers will get 1920 under the law as
administered by the department. A
graded salary scale for the rural carriers
has been arranged on the basis of the
number of miles travelled and will go into
effect on July l, 1904. Carriers on
routes twenty four miles and over in
length will receive $72O; twenty three to
twenty four miles, $702; twenty-five to
twenty-three miles, 1884; twenty one to
twenty-five miles, 1866; twenty to
twenty -one miles, $64S; eighteen to
twenty miles, 1912; sixteen to eighteen
miles, $576; fourteen to sixteen, $40;
twelve to fourteen, $504; ten to twelve,
$46S; eight to ten 1892.
Congress appropriated twenty millions
of dollars for the payment Of salaries Of
the rural carriers, larger sum than
is needed to pay all the rural carriers
in the United States $720 each. 1t could
hardly have been the intention of con-
gress that only ten per cent of the car
riers, those having routes of "a miles and
over, should receive $72O per year, and
that those having routes 10 to 20 miles
in length should get only 1912 per year.
1t is only in quite level and sparsely set
tied districts that the carriers have
routes long enough to get $720 per an
mum under the new ruling.
The privilege that the carrier has of
transporting for pay on request of his
patron such articles as are non-mail-
able, really amounts to nothing. All
the articles that the carrier can con-
veniently transport are mailable and
hence the pay for transporting these
things must 60 to the government
Flows, barrels of salt and cultivators
may be transported by the carriers aside
from the regular mail service, but it is
needless to say that most of the car
riers are not prepared to handle such
things.
AS soon as the carriers learn the full
effect of the ruling of the department,
there will without doubt be a great
deal of disappointment and great num-
Der of designations. Quite number of
the carriers who have already been made
acquainted with the state of affairs de-
clare that under the new ruling, they will
not get so much as they did before.

ST. Peter Lady Leses Her Pocketbook
and It is Returned.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Pick pockets and burglars were busy
today, taking advantage of the crowd.
The first victim was August Compel of
Ceresco, who came to tie city on the
Omaha branch train tnis morning. His
pocket was picked, probably while he
was getting on the train at Lake Crys-
tai. His loss was SIS. The matter was
reported to the police upon his arrival in
Mankato.
Henry Heidwinkel's residence on the
Fletcher road was burglarized during
the parade, while the family was in this
city. A gold watch with an Elgin move
ment was taken.
The house of Mr.. Heidwinkels neigh
Dor, Henry Diese, was also burglarized
at about the same time. An ear ring
set with diamonds and ladies' watch
was taken there Mr.. Diese's mother saw
and talked with two men who are sup
posed to have committed the robbery.
They called at the house, and after talk
ing with Mrs. Diese they left and, are
supposed to have gone to Mr.: Heidwin-
kePs house, returning later to the Diese
residence.
The house of VIM. Miller, on the Eagle
Lake road, that was burglarized on the
day of the Woodmen's picnic, was again
burglarized today while the family was
in this city looking at the parade. While
the house was ransacked, nothing has
been missed except hand mirror.
In returning to the city, Mr.. Miller
passed young man who was walking
rapidly towards the city, and he believes
that this is theI one who entered the
house.
The residence of Henry Studd, near
the Miller home, was entered and an
liver johnson revolver was stolen. 1t
was of 80 calibre.
Mrs. Ed. Engesser of st. Peter dropped
her pocket book, containing $40 and
some change, and it was found by VIM.
Clark, who travels for the Standard
Brewing company, and turned over to
the officers, who handed it to Mrs. En-
gesser.
| Mrs. Frank Allen, who lives at SOB
West Front street, lost her gold watch
before the parade somewhere on South
Front street. She does not think that it
was stolen from her, as she was not in
! crowd at any time.
The management of the circus makes
every effort to protect patrons from
thieves, and if robbers commit depreda-
tions while the circus is in town the
blame cannot be attached to the circus
people. People were warned to lock their
houses securely.

Effort Fails.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
1t looks as though the two Odd Eel
lows lodges in this city will not unite.
The effort to obtain the signatures of the
necessary two-thirds of the members of
Schiller lodge to the petition for the
uniting of the two lodges seems to have
failed. This win block any further eff
fort, as nothing can be done unless two
thirds of the members are agreeable.

It is now practically settled that Law
renee Colson will be the delegate and
John Kennedy of Albert Lea the al
ternate to represent the cigarmakers'
unions of Mankato and Albert Lea at the
international cigarmakers' convention, to
be held at the city of Baltimore on the
second Monday in September. Both
unions recently nominated these candi-
dates for delegate and alternate. On
June 81, the Albert Lea union confirmed
them. 1t is foregone conclusion that
the Mankato union will do the same on
the evening of the election, the second
Tuesday of July.

]. 7. Conner returned Thursday
night from a several days visit to
the St. Louis Exposition. Mr..
Conner says he saw many interest
ing and peculiar sights during his
visit, but says. also the Fair is too
big for man to see in the time
usually given to such matters.
There are so many and varied at
fractions that the average mind is
kept in a whirl, and you come
away with an imperfect knowledge
of all unless your mind has been
fortified in advance by reading up
on the fair and its magnifcence.
To attempt a description of any
particular exhibit or attraction Mr..
Conner says would be almost i'm
possible, on account of the ever
changing panorama to distract the
attention. He is not at all sorry
he went, however, and comes back
with many pleasant and instructive
membranes of his visit to the
great exposition.
Acacia Lodge, No. go, had a
very interesting meeting last Thurs
day night, at which the initiatory
degree was conferred upon Nathan
Lightbourn and Miguel Garcia.
Besides the members of Acacia
Camp, eight members of Frontier
Camp, 1922, of Brownsville, and a
like number from Agaguetas Camp,
of Matamoros, attended and enjoy
ed the ceremonies very much. At
the close of the meeting the Wood
men from this side escorted the
visiting brethren from Matamoros
tc the ferry with a band of music.
1t is needless to say the utmost
brotherly feeling exists between the
followers of woodcraft on both
sides of the river, and these friend
" meetings result III much frater-
nal good. Those who attended the
meeting last Thursday night spent
an hour or two very agreeably,
and hope for another Union meet
ing in the near future.
