EARLY 1HRESHING
REPORTS GOOD
EXCELLENT YIELDS FROM SOUTH
ERIN MINNESOTA WHEAT.
Fields Turning Out 20 to % Bushels
Harvest Well Under Way in That
Section, and Prospects Are Consid-
cred Excellent Next Week Of Work
Will Tell the Story.

First wheat threshing returns Of the
season were received in Minneapolis
just before noon today. From Morris
town, Mimi, telegraphic advices to Fl.
II. hlng were of the threshing out of
an average OF % bushels to the acre on
a farm near by. Madison Lake, Mimi,
sent the Sheffield Milling company re-
ports OF 20 to % bushels per acre from
machines now at work. Jordan, Mimi,
reported the work beginning this morn
Ing few miles out, and near Yankton,
s: D., the first threshing outfit got
started about II clock. The Christian
mill took in some wheat during the
morning, at, Shakopee, Mimi, that aver
aged 70 to 80 bushels to the acre, but
this was a variety of winter wheat, ma
to Cummings Of Is to 20 bushels in the
valley, but some disappointment in only
9 bushels on prairie land. Waseca says
threshing will begin in three days; also
Faribault and Lake City. Sioux Falls
reports barley being threshed with good
returns, but no wheat run thru yet.
Owatonna says two-thirds Of the grain
is cut and some wheat will be thrcshed
by the end of this week. Woodwork 5
telegraphic adyices say wheat cutting
began this morning near Hoffman,
Mimi, on the 500 line, about thirty
miles west of Glenwood, this being the
point farthest north and west to report
SO far. Macaroni wheat was cut, and
spring wheat will be gone into in a day
or two" Austin, Mimi, says cutting is
general, but little rain would be well
come, the country around being rather
dry: ~
The general summary indicates that
nv the end Of the nresent week enouo}
wheat will have gone thru the machines
to give, if not conclusive, at least a
fairly representative demonstration of
what may be expected in southern Min
nesota and South Dakota. From to-
day g reports it is judged the showing
will be very satisfactory,

CHANGE TO SECURE
|. G. A. R. CONVENTION
A GUARANTEE OF $4,000 WOULD
SETTLE 1T.
Gould Get Big Gathering
in 1906 Without Trouble, It Is Be-
lieved, If the Money for Encamp-
ment Expenses Were Promised Com
mercial Club May Take Action.

Fifty thousand dollars will bring the
Grand Army Encampment to Minneapo-
lis next year. The veterans remember
with pleasure their encampment here
twenty years ago and with a little work
it is thought the Minneapolis delegates
R. men are unwilling to take the steps
necessary to secure the encampment,
however, without assurance Of financial
backing. ,
Judge Ell Torrance, past commander
in chief of the Grand Army, said this
morning: II think that the chances
of getting the next national encamp-
ment for Minneapolis are good. Mime
apolis has a great reputation as a con-
Army men who have pleasant recollec-
tons of the encampment here. But the
local Grand Army men will not take any
steps to secure the encampment unless
they have assurances of substantial
financial backing from the Commercial
club or some equally representative
body Of business men. We veterans are
getting too old for the work of raising
the sum necessary to carry such a gath
ering thru with credit to the city. If
$4,000 is guaranteed and the governor,
mayor and Commercial club will unite
in extending an invitation, have little
doubt of our ability to have Minneap-
oils selected as the place of the next
encampment. -
Wallace G. Nye, secretary Of the pub:
lie affairs committee Of the Commercial
club, when Judge Torrance s statement
was repeated to him, said: "The matter
has never been brought before the club
or any of is committees. So far, as
extending an invitation is concerned of
course there is no doubt as to the action
of the club, but I have my doubts about
it's willingness to guarantee any fund
of $4,000 or even less. The club has
never done such a thing. It is willing
to extend an invitation and undertake
to entertain or aid in entertaining the
guests of the city, but it is not likely
to pledge any certain amount in adj
vance. However, should the club un
dertake to back such gathering and
should $4,000 be necessary to carry il
thru I believe that the money would
be forthcoming.'
The location of the next campground
will be settled at the national encamp
ment, which will begin in Denver or
Sept. 5.

WHAT 1T MEANS TO YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance Of
Good Digestion Until It Is Lost.

Many people suffer from dyspepsia
and do not know it. They feel mean,
out of sorts. peevish, do not sleep well,
do not have good keen appetite, do
not have the inclination and energy
for physical or mental work they once
had, but at the same time do not feel
any particular pain or distress in the
stomach. Yet all this is the result of
poor digestion, an insidious form of
Dyspepsia which can only be cured by
"a remedy specially intended to cure
it and make the digestive organs act
naturally and properly digest the food
eaten. Bitters, after dinner pills and
nerve tonics will never help the trou-
BILE; they don It reach it. The new med
zeal discovery. does. 1t is called Stuart 8
Dyspepsia Tablets and is specific for
cause it thoroughly digests all whole
some food taken into the stomach,
whether the stomach is in good working
order or not.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by digest
ing the food, instead of making the
worn out stomach do all the work, gives
it much needed rest and cure Of
dyspepsia is the natural result.
When you arr nervous, run down and
| sleepless, don't make the common mis-
take of supposing your nervous sys-
tenn needs treatment and fill your stom-
ach with powerful nerve tonics which
| make you feel good for a little while
only to fall back farther than ever.
Your nerves are all right but thew
are starved, they want food.
Nourish them with wholesome every
day food and plenty of it, well digested,
and you can laugh at nerve tonics and
medicine.
But the nerves will not be nourished
| from weak, abused stomach, but when
| the digestion has been made perfect by
the use Of this remedy all nervous symp-
toms disappear.
Who ever heard of man or woman
blessed with vigorous digestion and
good appetite being troubled with their
nerves9
Good digestion means a strong nerv-
GUS system, abundance of energy and
capacity to enjoy the good things Of
life.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will Ger.
talnly set your stomach and digestive
organs right; they can't help but do ii
because they nourish the body by 'di
costing the food eaten, and rest the
stomach.
You get nourishment and rest at one

.CUPID'S AGENCY

MATRIMONIAL CONCERN CLOSED

the manager, has flown to some silent
place where his irate patrons cannot
reach him with finger nails, umbrellas,
canes or leaden balls. A fraud order
has been issued at Washington and the
postotfice inspectors are after him.
Owing to the fact that Investigations
were begun by the postoffice authori..
ties almost as soon as his hundreds Of
personal want ads appeared in pa
pers thruout the country and in one
Minneapolis paper. The investigation
started thru letter sent to the post
office from Denver, Col.

at II Eastman avenue, your city. Will
the police or some one whose business it
is to learn if his agency is fraud lock
him up? I wanted to marry again and
have a home, so I ventured to try this
agency. Mrs. -- --.
P. S. If he is what he claims 1 want

The said Mr.. Allison was sent for and
appeared before the postoffice inspec.
tors. He was unable to bring forward
any identifcations and the references
that he gave when he secured a post
office box developed to be fictitious
He said that he had been in the city
for three weeks. His ads said that
for references any bank or prominent
citizen in Minneapolis could be appealed
| to. Mr.. Allison maintained that his
company was strictly honest, but he
evidently was not quite sure, for he
| ducked shortly afterwards.
Here are samples of his advertise
ments: "American; widower; age 6:
years; no children; no relatives

"Wealthy maiden; disfgured by &C
cident; healthy; perfect form; affec
tionate and liberal, wants good, kline

Where the money came in was thru
the registration fee of $40. If only
per cent Of the 5000 people who sent
letters enclosed the necessary fee, thu
revenue would be considerable. AS it is
the postoffice authorities believe thai
the scheme was nipped in the bud anc
that Allison left Minneapolis consider
ably poorer than when he came.

Police Take Hand When Idle Men r,
-~. fused Offers. II

Nine strikebreakers, who recently came
from Chicago, were arrested by the po-
lice last night and were arraigned in po-
lice court today on charges Of vagrancy.
The men were shipped to Minneapolis
by an employment agency in Chicago with
the understanding. that another agency
here would furnish them transportation
to the Dakota harvest fields. When they
arrived here they found that they had
been swindled and asked the poor de-
partment to give them transportation
back to Chicago that they might bring
suit against the agency, but this was re-
fused. The nine that were arrested re-
fused to work for the street railway com
pany on the new lines and that was the
cause Of, their arrest. They were allowed
to go on suspended sentences.

The people Of Excelsior will put forth
their best efforts to secure Carnegie
hero medals for Frank johnson and

risk of their own lives, went to the
rescue Of Mr.. and Mrs. William Badger
and the two young ladies who were

brave deed should not 90 unrewarded.
When Mr.. Badgers yacht capsized
the four people were thrown into the
lake. The wind was blowing hurri-
cane, the sea was rolling over the over
turned boat, and the rain was coming
down in torrents. Crowds rushed to
the lake front, but they were helpless,
and the unfortunate people were call
ing for help. They chung to the over
turned boat the best they could, but it
was evident that their strength could
not hold out long. The depth of the
water there was over fifteen feet.
Suddenly steamer that had started
out to render assistance was held back
by the fierce gale and could make no
Roadway, but drifted almost helplessly
toward the shore. The next moment
the prov of a rowboat came from be-
hind the protecting shore of the island
and with slow progress made for the
wrecked people, defying wind, waves
and rain. When within twenty feet Of
the overturned boat, Wilson plunged
into the angry waters, while. with much
difficulty his companion, Johnson, kept
the rowboat within easy reach. In a
moment Wilson had placed one of the
terrified women in the rowboat and later
placed the other two in safety. He
then assisted Mr.. Badger.
All the time the gale continued to in
crease, and just as Wilson himself
reached for the boat it was swept from
his reach. A cry of horror went up
from the crowd on the shore, for no one
thought he would be able to swim
to shore, and the rowboat was being
blown farther and farther away from
him. With determination he started
after it, however, and Johnson, seeing
the danger in which his companion was,
did his best to stop the boat. With a
superhuman effort he reached the stern
and pulled himself over the side almost
entirely exhausted,
