Death of Mrs. Russell.

Mrs. Almira Russell died at her
home south of town, Jan. %, of heart
trouble, having been afflicted for
about a year. She was born in
Frankvil!e township, Winnesheik
county in 1858, and was married III
1877 to Alexander Russell. In 1879
they removed to Dakota where they
resided until about 1885. when they
returned to Winnesheik county. They
came to Fayette county in 1895, where
they have since resided. A son and
two daughters were born to them, who
survive her. Her mother and three
brothers also are left to mourn her
loss a brief service was conducted
at the house, Monday. by Rev. st.
John, after which the remains were
taken to Ossian to be inferred half a
mile from where she was raised. -

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.
Cleaned from the Current Issue of the
WinneSheik County Teacher.

Institute dates will be March 2Sth
to April 9Th this year.
"Pink Eye" is causing trouble in
the schools in Fremont and Orleans
townships.
Emma VIM has been on the sic ;
list for some time. and Edna Hertz, of
Calmar, has been teaching for her.
Teachers say that the certificates of
award are very helpful in breaking up
absence and hardness. If they can do
this, one of the greatest evils in the
school is overcome largely.
Ole o. Rue. who teaches in district
No. /, Sumner township, is also ont
of school OH account of sickness. 1t
would be we'll for teachers to note
carefully whether constant supply
of fresh air can yet into the school
room. frequently enter room and
raise or lower window Immediately
on entering, for when / come in from
breathing pure fresh air can instant
ly notice whether air inside the room
is depressing or not.
The attendance at Burr Oak, Ken
dallville and Ridgeway was very good,
and especially at Burr Oak and Ridge
way. At Kendallville the attendance
of teachers was quite good. though
several who should have attended
were not there. Consolidation is be-
ing discussed in Fremont township,
and conditions in tie township now
are ripe for serious consideration of
this plan of school management. The
school houses, with two exceptions,
are old and not in very sood condition.
We have found ii necessary in two
instances to request the assistance of
the county attorney in interpreting
the law relating to placing of Libraries
in the schools. This law is mandatory
and no discretion is given to boards as
to whether the library books shall be
put in or not. We have no right nor
authority to excuse any one from per-
forming any duty imposed by law.
Teachers in some instances have made
it more difficult to secure the board 8
action in this matter by stating that
the library does no good in the school,
or by saying that the books to be put
in are only fables and fairy stories,
and hence lies, that no child ought to
read. As matter of fact, only few
of the eleven hundred titles on the
library list prepared by the state are
fablessand fairy stories. Let teachers
refrain from condemning the books or
the law. for this law is just as moral
ly and legally binding as the law
which requires that six months school
be held in every regularly established
school.

INSECT PESTS ABSENT
Rains Have Not Materially Damaged the
Crop Outlook

Frequent rains have done little damage
to growing crops during the week ending
July 4. The summary Of the weather bu
reau climate and crop bulletin for the
week is as follows:
Frequent and generally light showers
daily during the week, except on the LIST,
with some locally heavy rains on the 2Sth
and 10th in the Red River valley and parts
OF central Minnesota. There were hail
storms on the 2Sth and 29th In portions of
the south, but they caused little injury,
except to the crops Of about six townships
in Cottonwood county, where the damage
was considerable, The latter part of the
week was warmer than the early and mid
die parts when the nights were decidedly
cool for the season. There are complaints
of too much rain in northern portions, and
wheat, oats and barley on the lowlands
of the Red River valley are not as vigor-
Gus as they should be- In other parts Of
the state there is an abundance of mois-
, ture, and tho the small grains are not
yet suffering from excessive rainfall, ex-
cept on some of the lower lands, dry and
warmer weather would be much more ia
vorable. Wheat and oats are heading, and
early barley is well-headed Corn is small
and backward except in few well-fa-
vored fields in the southeast. Potatoes
are nearly everywhere a fine crop, and the
earliest are being marketed. Flax is gen.
orally good. Glover, timothy and wild
grass are full crops in most parts Of the
state, and clover is being cut, but be-
cause of it's succulence and the showery
condition Of the weather it's curing is diff
cult. The wild meadows are too wet to
be cut. Strawberries are nearly all gath
cred, and a fine crop of raspberries is
coming on. There seems to be a marked
absence Of insect pests this season.

Founded Clearwater.

Simon Stevens, brother of the late
Colonel John H. Stevens, who built
the first house in MINNEAPOLIS and
was the first white man to explore
the shores of Minnetonka, died at his
nome at Clearwater yesterday.
MI. Stevens came to the state in
1919 and shared the adventures and
hiardships of the life Of a pioneer with
his brother In 1856 he founded
Clearwater, where he has lived ever
since. He was the youngest Of ten
children and was IT at his death. He
IS survived by his wife, Mrs. Kate
stevens, and by two sons, Henry Ste
Vens, a ranchman in South Dakota.
ana Charles Fl. Stevens, engaged in
educational work in Minnesota.
a. w. Rankin, GIG Fifth street Sc,
a nephew of Mr.. Stevens, said today
that MS uncle was very fond Of tell
ing OF the early pioneer days. He
often recalled the days when count
less deer sported among the scrub
oak IN the spaces between st. Antho-
ny Falls and Minnehaha Falls; of the
cutting of 800 cords of wood on Mic.
oilet island, and Of an early wedding
at Clearwater, at which the ceremo.

river in Benton county, because thai
was the only county organization ir

The first trip Mr.. Stevens made from
minneapolis to Minnetonka was diff.
cult and somewhat perilous. He hac
heard from Indians that there was {
DIE lake. somewhere to the west anC
with companion he started out in {
wagon to find it. There being no roa(
ana Mr.. Stevens being unfamiliar witt
the lay of the land, the trip was made
IN an unnecessarily roundabout way
Two days were spent by the mer
rowing about in the stretches of timber
pefore they came upon the shores O.
the lake. At first they thought there
were several separate lakes, and it wal
months before the pioneers of Min
neapolis learned the extent Of the wa
tiers or Minnetonka, and ascertainet
| that the several bodies Of water wer,
connected, forming one large lake.
Some time was spent in the wood
near the lake, Mr.. Stevens and hi

SEEK CAUSES OF
LAUNCH DISASTER
CORONER WILLIAMS WILL MAKE
A THORO INVESTIGATION.
Launch Owners at Minnetonka Are
vitality Interested to Know Ii There
Is Some Danger Which They Are
Not Guarding Against - Mr.. Upton
at ST. Barnabas.

To satisfy numerous gasolene launch
owners who are vitality interested,
Coroner U. G.. Williams will make a
thoro investigation of the recent fatal
explosion Of Llewellyn Christians
launch at Minnetonka.
If there is danger in operating the
ordinary launch, the owners want to
know how to guard against it. If
the accident resulted from forgetful-
ness of common precautions, they
want to know that, so as to quiet the
fears of apprehensive passengers.
While no formal inquest will be
held, Coroner Williams will take the
sworn statements Of the occupants Of
boat as we'll as of its builders, who
have already dismantled the wreck.
Immediately after the explosion,
employees Of the Moore boat works
at Wayzata, took the wreck to the
shops, where it was dismantled. 1t
was given out that the gasolene tank
leaked and that an acetylene head
light had been used in looking for the
defect. This is denied by those who
were on the launch.
81 would hold an inquest immedi-
ately," said Coroner U. G. Williams
today, "if it were not for the ruling
of former Judge j. F. MCGEE, who
hold an inquest only when he has rea-
son to believe that the deceased me-
a violent death and he interpreted
violent as meaning murder T can
however, and will make as thoro ar
investigation as the law allows in this
case, and will determine, If possible
the cause of the explosion" -

burned in the explosion, and whose
wife was killed, was taken to St. Bar.
nabas hospital this afternoon. He Il
