The probabilities are that the new
Carnegie library will be dedicated
during the latter part Of October. or
early in November. The contrac-
tors, together with the sub-contrac-
tors, have practically completed
their work already, but inasmuch

dent Cyrus Northrup OF the Mime
sofa university present to deliver
the dedicatory address, and that it
will be impossible for him to appear
in Redwood Falls before the time
mentioned above the dedication will
be postponed to such date as he

H. F. Clipfell, one OF the farmers
of Homer township, stated on
Tuesday of last week that about 80
per cent of his corn crop was out of
danger OF the frost. He said that
his crop would not be nearly as
large as last year, and he believed
that this would be the case through
out the county. Well-known farm
ers in town that day predicted that
about 60 per cent. of the corn crop
of the county was then out of dam
ger, and that if the weather con-
tinued without frost until Saturday,
Sept. 24th, so per cent. of the entire
crop would have passed the danger
mark. The remainder, they con-
tended, could not escape frost on
account of late planting. All of
them admitted falling off in the
yield over last year, such as Mr..
Clipfell reported.
