GRANDMOTHER OFF. 7. STARR DIES
Mrs. Lucy |. WEIGH Passes Away at
Her Home in Tracy.

Mr.. and Mrs. f. p. Starr of this city
have been absent the most of the time
during the first part of this month on
account of the illness and death Of
Mrs. WEIGH of Tracy. who was the
grandmother of Mr.. Starr, and a
woman in whom all the beauties of
lovelinss seem to have united. In
speaking of the death of Mrs. WEIGH
the Republican of Tracy has the fol-
lowing:
Fred P. Starr and Name A. Starr
were the favorite grand children, they
having lived with Mr.. and Mrs. Welch
from early childhood, and came to
consider their grand parents ssfather
and mother" The devotion of these
two to mother up to the last was a
loving tribute to one who cared for
them as a labor of love. Mrs. Welch
buried her husband December 10th,
1896, and until recently, Fred and
Name lived with the widowed grand
mother. Mrs. WEIGH leaves two
daughters, Mrs. E. L. Starr and Mrs.
N. H. Starr, ten grand children and
four great grand children, Eunice, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. F. P. Starr;
Warner and Alice, children of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Starr, and Merrill,
son OF p. G. Starr, all of whom were
privileged to visit her many times dur
ing her last sickness.
Funeral services were held from the
residence of N. Fl. Starr on Tuesday,
and old settlers from far and near
gathered together to pay their last re-
spects to one who in life was a min
istering angel to those who were sick
or in distress.

FOURTEEN FOOT FALL NOT FATAL
Gust Olson Of Lafayette Injured in
Church.

Gust Olson, who is carpenter
working on the new church that is be-
ing erected in Lafayette had a thrill
ing experience last week and one that
brought him about as near death as
he cares to come and not pass through
the portals. The Leader in telling Of
it has the following:
Gust is employed with A. P. Lind
strom putting in the steel ceiling in the
new M. E. church. Thursday morning
he went to work at the usual time and
got up on the scaffolding which is IA
feet high. AS he intended to move the
planks on the scaffold he stood on
one of the brackets and tried to get a
hold of one of the blanks. In trying
to do this he threw his weight to one
side of the bracket and it tipped preci-
pitating him to the floor. In falling
his head first struck the chimney and
then he landed on the back all in a
heap. Eddie Olson and Mr.. Lindstrom
who were also working on the scaffold
ran to his assistance as fast as pos
sible and wagon was secured and he
was hauled to the hotel where he was
put in a room and where the doctor
made a thorough examination but was
unable to find any bones broken
although he had been badly Jared.
Besides Earring his back he cut small
cash in his skull and several bruises
on his arms, hands and face. At this
writing he is resting easier and hopes
are entertained that he will soon be
able to be around again.

EFFORT TO SAVE LAKE SUCCEEDS
Sleepy Eye People Protest Against
Lowering Lake.

After some two feet of the water of
Sleepy Eye lake had been run off by
reason of the new ditch that has been
dug in the neighborhood of that place,
the county commissioners were ap-
pealed to prevent the further lowering
of the body of water and committee
went to the scene of the trouble last
Wednesday and provided for a dam
that would not only keep what water
there is in the lake but would raise the
present level.
1t is evident that in the course OF
years unless fresh water supply is
provided for the lake and some means
are taken to dredge it out and keep it
clean, it will fill up even if the outlet
is damned. Year after year the dirt
from the farms keeps blowing into the
lake and it there ever were springs of
Living water there they have become
choked and the water in the summer
time gets as stagnant as water in q
rain barrel.
TO prevent this the Sleepy Eye Mil
ling company made a proposition to
run the waste water from the mill into
the lake. This would be equal to the
product from q good-sized spring and
would go a long ways toward saving
the lake, and then if the city would
shut off the waste that finds its way
into the lake from the brewery and
dredge the lake it might be possible to
keep it fresh enough SO that fish could
live in it and the water would be suit
able for bathing purposes.
Unless something Of this kind is
done it would be better for the city to
have the lake drained and race track
and ball ground made OF the basin.
1t is q menace to the health of the place
and is only poor excuse for lake.
1t could be made beautiful.

EXPERTS LOOK OPTIMISTIC
Think Prospects OF Good Crop Are
Excellent.
Black Rust and Smut Appears in
Some Localities.
General Impression In This County
is For Light Crop.

The critical period in the wheat crop
in this part of the country is nearly
passed and still there is time for q
wonderful reduction in the expected
yield. So far only the excessive rains
have done any damage to the grain.
1T has escaped most of the other ills
that are the dread of the farmer and is
appro aching the time for the harvester
with all the promise of q good crop.
The Review has taken pains to talk
with a number of large wheat raisers
in this part of the county and they are
almost all OF the opinion that there
will not be more than two thirds of a
crop, but that the grain will be good
and the grade will be No. l.
The worst thing and that which is
worrying most of them is the fact that
the straw is OF such rank growth, be-
ing almost the same as plants raised
in a hot house, that the stalks are very
brittle, scarcely strong enough to hold
the weight of the heads, for this reason
if there should come heavy rain with
wind the fields would be ruined. It
would have the same effect as a hail
storm.
The straw is thin and weak, due to
the rapid growth. Three weeks ago
the wheat was scarcely six inches high
and now it is nearly ready to harvest,
showing that it has reached maturity
in very short time.
There is evidence that red rust has
infected most of the fields and is at
present at work in many of them, this
can do but little harm as there is
plenty of moisture in the ground and
it is so late that the wheat will not be
affected by it; but some of the fields
appear to have considerable smut in
them. This comes for the neglect to
treat the seed as some of the farmers
have done.
The greatest dread of the farmer at
this time is the black rust, and that
shows in some places, though they are
very few, still this evil has the faculty
OF appearing when it is least expected
and doing vast amount of damage
just when it is thought the crop is safe.
From all appearance, however, it is
safe to say that the farmers of this
county are going to fare we'll in the
results Of the harvest
Rye and barley are secure and some
farmers have begun stacking and this
grain, as is generally the case here, is
very good, there being an apparent
good yield to the acre and the heads
we'll filed and cured.
The general report that appears in
the markets to the effect that there is
a shortage in the worlds supply of
wheat leads the farmers to believe that
the price of the new grain will be above
the average and that the results of the
harvest will be better than in some
years when the yield was better than it
promises this year.

There will be an abundance of agri-
cultural and other exhibits as the in
terest in this line has been gradually
growing during the past few years and
many of the farmers of the county are
selecting vegetables and grain with the
purpose in view of bringing them to
the fair, and also looking out that
there will be a good exhibition of live
stock
The prizes that are to be held out
this year are the same as last year,
and when the premium list is in the
hands of the public it will be seen that
it is as liberal as any of the other
county premium list in most of the pre-
miums offered and in many a great
deal more So.
There should be certain pride in
the Brown county fair among the peo-
pie of the county that is as important
to the people of the county as the state
fair is to the people of the state, and
the fair should draw proportionately
as well. There is no reason why it
should not.

CLOSE CALL FOR REINHART CORNER
Good Work Of Fire Company Saves
Much Loss.

Fire threatened to destroy the entire
Reinhart corner Saturday, including
the new brick and the frame saloon
building, but the timely arrival and
good work of the fire company saved
the property.
Some boys passing the building no
ticed the smoke from the roof and spoke
OF it and Ernst Brandt, detecting the
odor Of burning shingles turned in the
alarm, but before the fire company
could get to the scene of danger ten
feet Of the roof of the frame building
was covered with flames that were eat
ing their way through the shingles.
The heavy ladder truck that has
been the object of more or less criti-
cism demonstrated its utility for the
first time at this fire and enabled the
fremen to get onto the roof with little
difficulty and being at the seat OF fire
it was only few minutes before they
had it completely under control.
To get at the fire it was necessary to
destroy large space Of the roof and
break in much of the gable end OF the
building, necessarily damaging the
building to considerable extent.
Once inside the chemicals did effective
work saving the necessity Of flooding
the place with water.
The fire evidently caught from burn

ANNIVERSARY SURPRISE
Rev. Vim. M. StuIz is Remembered
by Congregation.

Yesterday, the Oath of July, COM
pletes thirty years of work in the min
istry of the church by Rev. Vim. M.
Stulz of Sleepy Eye, and the men of
the congregation planned a surprise
for him to commemorate the event.
They assembled at one place and in
q body marched to the parish house
where they were met by the priest who
welcomed them into his home last eve
ming and then adjourned to the st.
Mary's hall where the pastor was pre-
sented with purse on behalf of the
congregation.
In the morning decorations were put
in place and the celebration will con-
tinue all day today At 1o'clock this
afternoon there is to be a great ban
quet and jubilee procession. The cere-
monies of the occasion were accom-
panied by all the for1nalities of the
church suitable to such an occasion,
and the pleasure that the priest de-
rived from the occasion was apparent
in all that he said and did.
Father Stulz was ordained on the
oath Ut July, 1876, and has held sever
al charges. He came to Sleepy Eye
some six or seven years ago and took
up the work of erecting the sdendid
church building that is the pride of the
congregation and the people of the
city. Since completing this he has
added a large parsonage and has fixed
up the church property so that it is in
splendid shape. He is liked by the
people of his charge and the citizens
Of the city.
