G. G. Cralle was an Aberdeen visitor
at the Minnesota state fair who saw
the unfortunate accident at the Fer
ris wheel. Mr.. Cralle happened to
glance that way just as the car fell.
He did not hurry to the wheel, as did
many Others, for he knew only too
well what awaited the eyes Of those
who did. 1t was a terrible affair and
an incident not likely to be 0 Q for
gotten. Mr.. Cralle enjoyed himself
hugely, however, and had a good time.
Adam Scott of Hawarden, land
owner, stockman and capitalist, was
in the city Monday after several days
sojourn at Hecla, around which place
he has pretty extensive real estate
holdings. He is of the opinion that
improved farms are likely to stitfen
in value and increase in demand. He
thinks macaroni wheat is the coming
wheat, and that farmsrs should quit
raising the other kinds. Macaroni
makes better bread and yields better
and the millers will soon come to it.
