KNITTED THE CIRCUS MAN
Robert Rineiins Submitted To An
Operation At Rochester.

Rochester, May l5.-Robert Ringing,
one of the famous circus brothers, is ly-
ing Frustrated at st. Mary's hospital i'll
this city as result of serious opera
ton performed by the Mayo surgeons.
The greatest circus king arrived in
Rochester Saturday morning. The ma
ture of his trouble made it necessary
for him to lie flat in his berth on the
Chicago train and the doctors would not
permit him to assume a sitting posture.
DR.. William j. Mayo accompanied him
from Chicago, which is an honor very
unusual When the train arrived here
stretcher was taken into the Pullman
and Mr.. Ringing, after being laid OH
that, was carefully showed through the
window Then he was carried to an am
bulance and the stretcher placed within.
All through the transfer, Mrs. Ringing
stood bv, and assisted in various little
WAYS. showing the utmost concern lest
the move should be painful. Just as the
stretcher swung from the window, MIR.
Ringing was anxiously asked if ,he was

He was hurried by ambulance to the

any bad symptoms. kilograms poured

TOOK The WRONG TABLET
Miss Thomas Made Fatal Mistake
With Her Medicine.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The inquest over the remains of the
late Miss Bertha Thomas did not close
until late yesterday afternoon. Only
five of the nine witnesses summoned
were examined. When four had been eN-
amined, County Attorney Plymat stated
that he was ready to rest there. These
four were Drs. A. +. Schmitt. H. d.
Vain of st. Peter, j. w. Andrews and
Mrs. William Thomas. The jury was
about to retire, when DR.. +. ID. Branden-
berg requested that he be permitted to
testify. and the session reconvened.
1t was brought out in the testimony
that the attending physician had pre-
scribed the use of two kinds of tablets
one containing one-sixtieth of grain
of corrosive sublimate and the other
seven grains of the same. The tablets
were of different colors, but Miss Thomas
made mistake and used the seven
grain one in the manner that the one
siXtieth grain tablet was prescribed, and
the mercurial poisoning resulting was
followed by her death. The jury re-
turned verdict to this effect.
A letter written to the attending
physician by travelling man of st. Paul
was introduced in evidence.
The inquest was conducted by Coroner
Kennedy, who left the hospital for the
purpose.

WEATHER AND CROPS
Cold Has NotHad Such Bad Effect
Report SAYS,

The crop report for the past week
covering the territory on the lines of
| the Chicago & Northwestern road west
of Winona contains the pleasing news
| that the cold weather has had no bad
effect on the growing grain aside from
delaying Il little. which has been retarded
to the point that it is now rs far along
as it was at this time last year, and
prospects are now considered as good
rs they were at this same time last
year. The report in full is as follows:
''Since our last report weather condi-
tions in Minnesota and North and South
Dakota have been decidedly more favor
able, with the exception of cold nights.
The days have been very much warmer,
ranging from 81 to 20 degrees above
zero. with slight furries of snow in one
or two localities and on Monday last
from two to three inches of snow north
of the central part of South Dakota
and southern North Dakota which dis
appeared rapidly.
"Since our last report there has been
an opportunity to note the growth and
development of crops and to determine
more clearly if damage had been done
from freezing nights during the preceding
cold weather, and we are pleased to
state that we cannot find in single
instance any damage whatever from such
source and our Investigations have been
general and thorough.
"We desire to state, however, that
grain has not made rapid progress. 1t
has been decidedly slow even during
the past week and at this particular
date grain is no further advanced, if
quite as much so, than onesyear ago at
this date. though it cannot be classed
too late" and this is not considered
disadvantageous and prospects can be
considered as good at this time
as at same period last year.
I'm regard to acreage will state that
it is safe to state that every acre of
cultivated land in the states of North
and South Dakota is seeded and growing
crops. or will be at the end of planting
season. In Minnesota this is also true
with the exception of very small ter
ritory in Redwood and Lyon counties,
and the acreage in this particular local
ity will be about the same as last year.
On the whole there will be an increased
acreage of all crops in 1907 over that
of 1906 providing we have ordinary
favorable weather from this date"

GRAIN IS BACKWARD
Farmers Along Gilmore Branch Fee
Discouraged.

rIoIH wednesdays Daily.
>. M. Wiser, who has been down the
Gilmore branch line in the interest of the
Mankato Rebate association, states that
the crops are not looking well, and that
the farmers are much discouraged. 1t
showed and rained yesterday and today
along the branch. The best looking field
of wheat that he saw was located near
Lake Crystal. The fields are largely
checkered with quack grass, which is
spreading rapidly. No corn has been
planted yet. Near Garden City the grass
and foliage were the most advanced, but
on the high land there is desolate APP
pearance. Many farmers will have to re-
sow their oats OH account of rotting in
the field.
