In the past faw yfars we have heard

farmers in this section raise more
grain, hay, Vegetables and poultry
why? Because there is not enough
raised to supply the demand, ecnse-
quently, t..ac buis Of vegetables, poll.

Eggs are worth on an average about
90 cents the year round; chickens are
worth IL to Is cents per pound on an
average. Vegetables command q good
price at all times, yet there don't seem
to be enough raised TO supply the de
mand. Hay is worth usually about
l$l5OO,per ton, and that is good money
for the farmer, yet there seems TO be
none produced here for the home mark

Corn is usually worth IS cents per
Ibushel; oats As cents per bushels;
wheat 81. 90 or more, vet we don't hear
tof the farmers around Fairmont rails

or any other market.
Besiles all this the farmers would
keep their farms in repair much.
easier, and keep the soil in a more
productive condition If they would
pillow all their land at least once every
ten years. One can grow more and
better grass On land that is plowed
once every ten years or so, and re-
sowei than on land that is not plowed,
and the sod allowed to become half
moss and filth.
With these things In view better
and cheaper vegetables for the people
of Fairmont, cleaner and more produc.

more money in circulation let our
farmers get busy.

Imperative Need for Remedy.
A few days since, we were called
by duty out on Plerpont avenue. We
took note Of the neat and comfortable
homes built up on either side and most
Of them owned BY their present oc-
cupants, who pay their pro rata Of
taxes on them, and who contribute
their share to the welfare Of the city
by their business ayocations and pro.
fesslonal callIngs. And yet at this
point within three blocks OF the Court-
house. the avenue itself Is almost I'm.
passable for man or beast. Columbia
street, and portions Of State and'Mar.
ket streets on the opposite side Of the
river, and central thoroughfares as
these are, were found to be In d Ike
deorable condition. Here, then Is

which Is most needed. Let the re-
,medy be applied at once, while lesser
needs await their turn.

From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
A double tragedy occurred at Eagle
Lake last night that has filled the little
village with intensest gloom and sorrow.
Arthur Harrein, young man living in
the village, was instantly killed by a
freight train early in the evening, and
Mrs. Lucinda Reeder, when informed of
the accident, expired almost immediate
ly of the shock and heart failure.
Young Harrein, who was nineteen.
years old, attempted to jump across the
Chicago & Northwestern track directly
in front of rapidly moving freight
train at about $3.50 o'clock, and was
struck and badly mangled. The train
was west bound freight No. 575, and
was pulling out on the main track,
when Harrein attempted very foolishly
to cross the track not over fifteen feet
ahead of the engine. The affair happen
ed on the main street of the village, in
sight of number of people who We're
standing near, and these witnesses ex-
onerate the train crew. They say that
it was impossible to stop the train in
such short distance. The engine had
its headlight lighted, and Harrein knew
of its approach, but may have misjudged
it's distance. He had been in the habit
of hanging around trains, and it is
stated that only the night before his
clothing was badly torn in catching onto
a train. His recklessness was finally the
cause of his undoing.
Harrein was struck by the pilot and
carried thirty or forty feet and then
thrown off between the rails of the adj
joining track. His head struck the fur
ther rail and was split open. His left
foot was run over and his right arm and
left leg were broken, and his body was
covered with bruises. Death was in
slant.
Coroner Kennedy was summoned, but
before starting was informed by the OPP
orator of the local Chicago & North
western depot that the body had been

WIND CREATED HAVOC.
Winnebaeo Was Visited and Much
Damage Was Done.

FROM rTiudy bdllN.
Winnebago was visited by terrific
rain, hail and wind storm Tuesday even
ing shortly after six o'clock, says The
Enterprise. The clouds, which had been
gathering for number of hours, had an
ominous yellow tinge. The wind swoop
ed down with great force, and was ac-
companied by heavy rain and large hail
stones. The wind snapped off big trees,
blew down chimneys, and did other
damage. while the hail cracked window
lights, knocked all vegetation fiat and
stripped the trees Of part of their fol-
iage.
The worst part of the storm seemed
to be centered in the west part of town.
For two blocks west of the Merchants
hotel, the street was nearly impossible.
Large stately trees, the pride of their
owner, were cracked off and blown
down, falling across tic electric light
wires and into the streets, many win
dows were broken, and a number of
chimneys were blown away.
A great many lights were broken out
OF the college building. One light on
the west was blown in. and the wind
cut through the big room knocking out
the light directly opposite. The chimney
on Mrs. D. P. Wasgatt's house was
blown over, and it fell through the roof.
making gaping hole, through which
the rain poured. The awning over the
big plate glass in the State Bank of
Commerce was blown down, smashing
the glass into thousand fragments. The
rear upper portion of the McColley
building was blown away. The great
number of trees falling on the wires, put
the electric light service out of commits
sion, and there was great scurrying
for candles and lamps Tuesday night.
Many of the old settlers say that it was
the heaviest wind storms they have ever
seen. Fortunately, the wind was
straight, and was not "twister" or
great and more serious damage would
have been done.

SHOT AN OLD MAN.
Accidr ntaI DISCHARGE Of Gun
Wounds Pat White Badly.
From rTuecda1'S Da lily

From tuesdays Daily.
A boy about sixteen, of the name of
Albert Turner, was cleaning a shot gun
a. the house of P. w. Smith, four miles
northeast of Madison Lake when the
gun was discharged Che supposed it was
not loaded) the charge passing through
the calf of one leg and entered and
broke the bone in the other leg of Pat
rack White, an old man of about sew
enty-five years, he having been at one
time an inmate of the county poor
farm
A doctor was called and came on the
$3.50 train and dressed the wounds, but
the injured man is in a very bad cOndi-
ton and was taken to the hospital at
Mankato last evening. 1t is thought
one leg will have to be ampntated and
he may lose his life.
The injured mans chances of life are
not the best 1t was decided by the at
tending physicians today that the leg
should not be amputated for a day or
two at least. Whites age is against
him.

DECISION on STATE RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Files An Important Order.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The interstate
commerce commission has reached a
most important conclusion with respect
to the railway rate law, which it has
embodied in general order made public
today. 1t holds that, where state rate
forms a part of an interstate rate, the
state rate should be filed with the COM
mission. This is an entirely new feature
in connection with the operations of the
interstate commerce commission.
The further announcement was made
that the commission intends, wherever
possible, to construe the law in advance,
without waiting for any particular COM
plant to be made upon which to base
its decision. In this way it is expected
tnat large number of complaints will
BE- anticipated and the work of the COM
mission correspondingly lessened.

HEAVY VOTE At PRIMARIES.
More Than One Hundred and Sixty
Thousand Cast Ballots.
Nen

The 1906 primary election in Minneso-
Ia was certainly a success in getting out
the vote, says Cheney in The Mime,
apolis Journal. The total vote east for
republican candidates for congress was
l6S,6l5. That is a pretty fair republi-
can vote for any time. In the last gen.
eral election the republican candidate
for governor got l4O,l30 votes, and the
candidate for lieutenant governor re-
ceived l55,0l4. A fair showing of party
strength was found in the vote for sec
rotary of state, which was lSl,706. The
republican primary vote this year came
within $4,000 of that figure, although
in four of the congressional districts
there was no contest at all.
The total vote cast for republican cam
didates for congress in each district was
as follows:

COLE, CAKE" STAPLES.
They Were Accorded a Hearty Re.
ception at Owato ma.

Owatonna, Oct. Cole, Jacobson
and Staples were welcomed here last
night by nearly 1000 people, headed by
a band. There was public reception at
the local republican headquarters.
The meeting this evening was held in
the armory, which was crowded beyond
standing room. Hon. j. NJ. Diment, a
former candidate before the Duluth con-
vention, presided and pledged his sup
port to the entire republican state ticket.
This statement was greeted with vol
ley of applause.
Coles address was very brief and was
enthusiastically received, as were also
the others Jacobson's address was the
principal one of the evening and dealt
with all the important state issues. The
ovation rendered Jacobson was the
greatest given public speaker in Steele
county for years.
