SHRINK WHEAT BERRY
HOT WEATHER IS HuRRYlNC
MATURITY OF GRAIN.
VIII Grade No. 2 and No. 8, Corn 10
Scamperins Out Of the Way Of
Jack Frost.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Up to yesterday the prospects for
a splendid wheat crop were splendid,
but the hot weather at this time is
hurrying the maturity of the grain and
shrinking the kernels, according to
George NJ. Palmer of the big mill. The
crop is too far advanced to be affected
by rust, even if any should develop
which has not been the case thus far
efore yesterdays dampness and
heat the prospects were for crop OF
wheat of fine quality, largely grading
No. /, but Mr.. Palmer is of the be.
lief that this weather will take off one
or two grades land that the wheat will
grade No. 2 and 3. The shrinking OF
the berry will naturally cause some
shrinkage in yield, but this will not
be nearly as serious. matter as the
reduction of the quality.
As to the other crops, Mr.. Palmer
states that wheat is expected to be
the best crop in this vicinity. Corn is
forging ahead rapidly, and seemingly
is getting safer from frost every day
Oats are expected to be a light crop
The cutting of oats is in progress
and the wheat harvest will begin in
about a week.

DEATH FOLLOWS OPERATION
Fred Cords, Farmer OF le Ray, Died
4 at Noon Today. at~

Fred Cords, a well known farmer
of Leray township, died at noon today
in this city, He was taken sick Sun
day with obstruction of the bowels
and came to this city and was op-
Grated upon Monday evening. A gan
grenous condition existed, and little
hope for his recovery was held out.
He was sixty one years of age, and
was born in Germany, coming to
Blue Earth county twenty years
ago. He leaves wife and six grown
children. He was respected farmer
and good neighbor and citizen, and his
death causes much regret.
Funeral services will be held Friday,
at the house and at the German Luth-
eran church at Smiths Mill. The in
terment will take place at the new
German Lutheran cemetery there, this
being the first interment.

OUTPUT OF BINDER TWlNE
State Prison Product 10 Larger Than
Was Intended.

The output of binder Irvine at the
state prison will be larger than in
tended even few weeks ago and will
exceed that of last year by at least
100000 pounds. 1t was intended to
quit working overtime in the factory
at the end of Lnis month but orders
have been received that will cover
more than the possible product up to
Aug. and still orders are coming
in.
The manufacture thus far has ex-
ceeded l4,50O,0O0 pounds and will run
up to considerable amount more.
Warden Wolfer is not yet able to
determine when the factory will quit
working overtime. The harvest is a
little late in some sections and it is
a big one. The shipments of Irvine
are being made now as fast as man
ufactured, the storage supply having
been exhausted some time ago. There
have been orders received from North
Dakota but the Minnesota farmers arc
being given the preference. The indi,
cations are that the prison could sell
the product of a much largely in.
creased Irvine factory.

STORY OF ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE
ON THE PART OF CITY OFFICIALS
Had They Their Simple More Than Likely That Epidemic
Of Typhoid Fever Would Not Have Occurred in Manato That An
Investigation Should Be Is Really Apparent Com
%#.- mitee of Could Make Inquiry

between Saturday and Monday evenings is
evident by the fact that Sunday morning
the water was very clondy condition it is
said caused by some dirt that unayoidably
dropped into the well cstern when Engineer
Koke and Dr. Hielscher removed the plank
Saturday evening.
Having been made aware of the real
condition of the Broad street well, it is
beyond comprehension why water should
have been pumped from it to supply con-
sumers.
Another Story of Negligence.
Residents of the vicinity of Washington
street between Front and Broad street. have
suffered much during the past few weeks
because of lax methods employed by GER
tain city departments, according to another
story told by reliable citizens this after
noon. t1 -
The surface water that should have been
carried off through the Washington street
storm sewer, backed up in the street, and
over the walks filling the cellars. The
basement of Mrs. HuettPs store building
was filed to the joists of the ground floor
and afterwards three wagonloads of muck
deposited by the water were hauled out.
Sewage Deposited in Street.
To add to the foulness of the surround
ings the city sewer pump was connected to
the manhole in the alley Of Washington
street between Front and Second streets
and sewage was pumped into the street
for two three days This foul matter,
which the city authorities believed would
be carried off through the Washington street
sewer, which was not yet opened was de-
posted in the street where is literally dried
up and remained until last Monday, evening
when it was scraped off and carted away.
. @ Kept On Pumping.
When seen by the Free Press represen-
tative this afternoon, Dr.. Hielscher said
that when the sewage pump was first start
ed he called he attention of the man IN
charge of the pump to the fact that the
storm sewer closed and would not carry
off the sewerage but the man replied that he
was simply following instruction from his
chief. President Porter visited the place
while the pump was in use and DR.. Hielscher
called his attention to the same fact but
NE, according to DR.. Hielscher took no cog
nizance of the advice. Jlt I@- r.
Should Be an Investigation. 4n
1t is more apparent than ever that a
searching investigation into the action of
he officials who have to do with the water
department should be made at once, and this
investigation should be made by disinterested
citizens-men capable and courageous enough
to dig deep into the affair-leaying no stone
unurned to get at the truth -
