BADLY INJURED.
Threshine Machine Falls on Its Own
.Ja us er, Henry Wagner. g,..,,.

From Tuesdays Daily.
What nearly proved to be fatal ac-
cident occurred in Cambria last evening.
Henry Wagner, who lives near Searls,
a station on the Minneapolis & st. Louis
road near New Ulm, owns and operates
a threshing outfit, and had the machine
on Evan Prices farm. A day or SO ago
he endeavored to move the machine
from one point to another, and to do
so had to 60 through the bed of Cam
bria creek. The separator struck a
stone and an axle broke. A now one was
secured, and last evening Mr.. Wagner
endeavored to raise the machine and put
the new axle on, so that the separator
could be moved today on its new sit
ting.
Mr.. Wagner. with the assistance of
members of his crew, raised the end of
the machine on blocks so that he could
remove the old axle and put in the new
one. The blocking gave way, and the
heavy machine settled over in such a
way as to crush Mr.. Wagner and force
him down. 1t was with some difficulty
that he was removed from his dangerous
position, and then it was discovered that
his breast was crushed in. Medical at
tendance was secured. 1t was reported
at first that he had been fatally injur-
ed, but it was thought today that he
would recover.
The accident happened between eight
and nine o'clock last evening. Mr..
Wagner has wife and two children.

Supplies Should Be Purchased
in the Next Ten Gays.
Sharp Advance Predicted When
Stocks Are in Storage.
Oranges and Grapes Plenty;
CranberrieS Scarce.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Apples will be a luxury this winter
that only the rich can well afford. 1t
has been years since the price was so
high. In New York the apple crop is
only twenty per cent of the usual crop,
owing to blight and it's being the off
year for bearing. The dealers consider
the Michigan crop as absolutely moth
ing, owing to blight. Missouri has har-
vested only fourth of an average crop,
and got that off the trees early. The
stock, take it the country over, is of
an inferior quality. pua4a5egs rg,a
This section will this year get its
supply practically all from New York.
Some of the shipments have arrived,
and more are on the road. 1t will be
ten days before all of the apples ordered
have arrived. and this week and next
will be the best time for housekeepers
to lay in their winter supplies, accord
ing to the commission houses. A sharp
advance is looked for when the apples
have been placed in storage.
The jobbers are now selling apples at
$3.50 barrel by the car load lot. The
local merchants are retailingthe stock at
S. to $3.50 barrel After the apples
have been placed in storage, the COM
mission houses expect to get S. to $3.50
barrel for the stock from the mer-
chants, which will mean nearly dollar
a barrel advance to the consumers.
The supply this fall consists of Bald
wins, greetings, russets and northern
spies. There are some nice apples, but
nothing that could be. called real fancy.
To show the difference in the conditions
as compared with a year ago, better ap-
piles were selling a year ago at 1925 to
$3.50 barrel wholesale, as compared
with $3.50 at present. posa zer4,re sl-
The orange crop is large and fine,
which will be some consolation. Cali
fornia and Florida are both sending fav
CRADLE reports. The Florida and Mexican
crops are already coming in,. but the
Mexican oranges are at present sweeter
and nicer than the domestic crop.
poCranberries are bringing the highest
price in years. The Minneapolis jobbers
expect the price to advance still further,
so that the berries will be wholesaling
at SIP barrel next week. In previous
years the average price has been 81 a
barrel. As turkeys are also high,
Thanksgiving dinners will be costly af-
fairs this fall.
Malaga grapes are in and are very
fine The price has advanced a little
over last year, but the better quality
makes up for the difference.
Potatoes are high, and what is worse
buyers now stand chance OF getting
frosted stock unless they are very care
full The cold spell a week ago frosted
many of the tubers that were on top
of the ground or near the surface. For
tv-five cents bushel is about the pre-
vailing price among the farmers on the
street.

TO SCHOOL THEY MUST GO.
Children From State Institution Are
Under the Law.

From Tuesdays Daily.
When children from the state school
at Owatonna are placed away from the
school in families they must be sent
to school. This in brief is a decision
just rendered by George I. Simpson,
assistant in the attorney generals Of
flee, to Galen A. Merrill, superintend-
ent of the Owatonna school. Mr.. Simp-
son in writing to Mr.. Merrill says:
"You ask whether the children from
the state public school, who have been
placed in homes in the state, are gov
erned in the matter of the attendance
of such children at school, but the gen
eral law of the state governing the at
tendance of children in the public
schools. w4as=Gs ,.a -.......
"The attendance of children in the
public schools of the state any, length
of time which they shall attend thereat,
is regulated by chapter 25 of the gen
eral laws of Minnesota for the year
1905. This law, by it's terms, applies to
every parent, guardian or other per-
son who has control of any child or
children between the ages of eight and
eighteen years. and in my opinion be-
tween those ages that rule is to be
followed with regard to children from
your institution, and therefore, as above
limited, your inquiry is to be answered

A BITTER FOURTH
Killed and Injured More Than That Of
Famous Battle Of Bunker
Hill

No all the returns are in vet
from the skirmish and murderous
carnival which we call "celebrat-
ing the Fourth" but the incom-
plete casualty list is interesting
as it stands. In $50 cities of the
land, t~hirty-six persons were kill
eel and 1877 injured. The list of
the killed is mercifully small in
comparison with the list of the
injured, but unhappily it will be
enlarged by accessions from the
latter. Out of Alb CAGES of lock
jaw following the Fourth of July
in 1903, it is said that there were
only eve recoveries. The re-
msinder died the most horrible
and painful of deaths.
If "the old-fashioned Fourth
is to be continued, we are going
to lose more lives In celebrating
the victories of the Revolution
than we lost in winning them.
The Americans lost 450 men in

atty list, so far as reported, was

PRACTICAL
FORESTRY
Timber to be examined

LUMBER Ties and PROPS
Will be Under Government Supervision
in Order that Local Industries May
not be Hampered

A party of forest reserve men,
technically known as forest assis-
tants," arrived here Sunday and
will, under the supervision ofJP.
G. Redington, Forest Assistant
who is already established here,
take up the practical work of ex-
aiming the timber in the Med
icine Bow Forest Reserve, with
a view to its disposition according
to the requirements of the people,
These men are: Meekam, Sur
veyor, Buck, Piper, Clapp and
Schaaf, all forest assistants. Three
more men, Worthley, Bradtield
and Bromann, are expected to
arrive in a few days.
Growing out of the establish.
ment of the forest reserves in the
mountains has come the necessity
to look after the timber on these
reserves, and to provide for their
disposition for lumber and ties,
according to the needs of the
country contiguous thereto, To
this end the Agricultural Depart
ment, which has been placed in
charge of the forest reserves of the
country, are sending out men,
whose duty it is to examine the
timber OIL these e and
make detailed report Gifts quality
and quantity and to make recon-
mendations with reference to its
final disposition.
These men work the ground
systematically and mark all the
trees suitable for ties, mining
props, etc. This report, with &C.
curate surveys and maps, is sent
in to the Department and from it is
made out the estimates and the
calls for bids for the purchase of
all timberthat it is possible to dis
pose of without injury to the re-
serve.

to foster the Legitimate interests
of the people and industries in
the country surrounding these
reserves.
1t will endeavor not to make or
enforce any rules or regulations
that will interfere with any of the
rights of the people to the use of
timber from the public domain
consistent with the preservation
of the same. In other words, the
people will have the right to the
use of the timber as before, but
under the watchful supervision of
the Government, which undertakes
to regulate the manner in which
timber for any purpose may be
taken from the reserve, in order
that there may be no wanton waste
of the same. or careless destruction
by fire.
The report and survey which
will be made by this party will be
for the purpose of furnishing an
estimate for the sale of timber
during the year 1906.
