SCARED THE VILLAGERS.
Cow Partook Of Dynamite and the
People Ostrac sed Her.

Mahanoy City, Pa, May 25.-Nibbling
at box of dynamite which she came
across while browsing in the woods
where gang of workmen was engaged
in eXcavating for a reservoir COW
belonging to Mike Domack became sud
denly crazed. The COW beloved when
her owner tried to drive her away. Fear
ing an explosion, the several score of
workmen ran at top speed to a place OF
safety, with the COW rushing after them
with head down and tail up. Some OF
the workmen climbed trees.
Fearing for the safety of those at his
home, Domack made record run for
the house. When the COW reached the
village she cavorted and pranced about
like bucking broncho.
Armed with pixies, the villagers drove
her to the edge of the village as a pre-.
caution. An examination of the box
cont aiming the dynamite showed that
the COW had eaten two half pound sticks
of the explosive, enough to blow hel
to fragments.

MAKING AN INQUIRY.
Teachers Want to Know Why Their
Paw is Not Larger.

Winona, May 26.-The committee OF
the Minnesota Educational association,
of, which President Guy f. Maxwell OF
the Winona normal school is a member,
to which was referred the question of
'How are school teachers in Minnesota
paid in comparison with the remuner-
alton persons in other occupations re-
ceive:" is beginning to receive answers
to the 1000 letters sent out to teach
ers in every part, of the state. The 9th
er members of the committee with Pres
ident Maxwell are: C. G.. Schulz, X. w.
Buell.. Fl. L. Merrill. H. c. Ross, George
F. James and c. NJ. Jordan. The blanks
sent out to be filled in by the teachers
contain the following statement:
''In order to secure accurate and suffi-
cient data as to the present status OF
teachers salaries and living expenses IN
Minnesota, the committee is compelled
to call upon the supervisors of school
WOIk 1Oi dSSiSldHce. diIhoue5h We MN"
that to furnish information at this busy
season of the year will call for consider
able sacrifice on your part. We believe,
however, that the people in general, and
school boards in particular, do not real
ze that the teachers of their children
are the most poorly paid workers in the
community; and that the improvement
of our schools i'll the development of the
best citizenship depends upon increased
remuneration for the teachers"
Twelve questions follow in which the
teacher is requested to give the amount
of his or her salary, itemized cost of liy-
ing under certain heads for twelve
months, the number of months in the
year employed as teacher, and what he
or she is able to save annually from sal
larry. A statement is requested of the
yearly wage earnings of farm laborers
domestic servants. seamstresses, railway
section men, buttermakers, painters and
paper hangers, railway station agents,
clergymen, carpenters and postmasters
The teachers are asked to state to what
they attribute the low salaries and in
what way they think they best could
be increased.

Winona, May 25.-The Southern Min

citation. which will hold big free iail
here during the second week in Septem
Der. has decided to make it entirely dir.
ferent from any that has ever been held
in this section. In addition to the usual
shows and exhibits. it is intended tC
make it educational for the farmers
and such practical features as the lay
inc of cement floors in barns and dairies
and creameries. the making OF good
country roads, practical demonstrations
in tree planting and trimming, lectures
on crops and diversified farming and as
many others of a like nature as can be
arranged. 1t is intended to make the

practical value.

RAIN KNOCKS THE ACREAGE.
Loss of twenty-five Per Cent Re-
ported From Red River.

| Grand Folks, y. d., May 29.-The
| for wheat that was in the ground and
growing, and wretched for the farm
ers who were not through seeding. West
of the valley proper seeding has been
done for some time, except the usual
work on late crops. The grain came up
nicely, and the conditions were never
better. There has been plenty of rain
to keep the grain moving along, and
while the weather has been cool. with
frequent dips near the yfrostlne, the
root growth has been immense. and
warm weather will send the young
plants climbing. The entire western
country is assuming the appearance of
a vast garden.
The conditions in the valley are less
satisfactory. Attempts We're made here
and there, with Indifferent success, to
plant grain in the mud but in many
cases the land was simply let alone in
the hope that it would be in shape 70,
late crops before the season was too
far advanced The rains of the past
week have shattered this hope in many
cases, and thousands of acres will be
taken out of the crop situation this
year and will be summer fallowed in
the hope of better conditions another
year.
1t is difficult to make an estimate of
the amount of land so abandoned. There
is no section in which some seeding
has not been done, and frequently in a
section where the conditions are the
worst there will be a belt of slightly
elevated land which dried off nicely,
and on which green grain is growing
thickly. Judging for the reports of
travellers who have had an opportunity
to inspect the fields. it seems not un
reasonable to say that in belt twelve
miles on each side of the Red river,
and extending from little south of
Fargo to the neighborhool of Grafton,
% per cent of the land will not be seed
ed this year

H. B. Burrill of North Mankato tried
to stop the dog catcher from taking
his dog to the pound this morning at
the foot of Hickory street, and tussel
followed, which resulted in the dog
catcher taking both Burrill and his dog
to the city hail. Burrill pleaded guilty
to the charge of resisting an officer and
paid a fine of So and costs.
1t seems that Burrill had two dogs
and the dog catcher caught the other
one and held him for fifteen days to
allow Burrill to redeem it, but the lat
ter told him several times to kill the
dog and he would sue the city. The
dog was finally dispatched. Mr.. Bur
ril made some threats as to what he
would do to the dog catcher if the sec
ond dog was caught, but no serious trou-
BILE resulted. The second dog, that was
caught this morning, had a Saulpaugh
baggage check attached to his collar,
perhaps to give the impression that it
was licensed.
