surgeons, such as DR.. Spafford Of
Flandreau, and DR.. Will Mayo of

to no avail.

The session just closed is one of the

and also one of the most fruitful of re-

since 1849, when the first rigsdag con

the opinion Of political observers in
Denmark.

recently the police we're without clues
as to the guilty parties, but now con-
fessions have been wrung from two
brothers of b rather tender age, and it
is believed that more information will
certain that some of the fires vera
started by an insane person.

School Board Election.

At the school board election last
Saturday evening, larger vote was
polled than ever before polled in this
school district. The total number of
persons voting was 602, and these
votes were all cast and registered in
an hour and half, the polls opening
at about 7:40 and closing at 9:13. The
ballot resulted:-F. r. Putnam, $40;
D. T. Wheaton, 329; S. A. Siverts, 237
and F. A. Mullen, 272.
The meeting was called to order by
Clerk Vinje. J. H. Devenny was
elected moderator; J. @. Morrison,
assistant moderator; S. Stewart, as
sistant clerk: Geo. HI. Munro and S.
J. Stebbins, tellers.
The issues of the election were
clearly defined, and generally under
stood among those who take an in
terest in the schools. Messrs. Mullen
and Siverts went before the people
for ratification of the action of the
majority of the board in the course it
has pursued relative to the schools,
and Messrs. Putnam and Wheaton
stood for election as opponents of the
policies under which the schools have
previously been conducted. The cleo
ton was really referendum, and
for the most part, the two tickets
were voted straight, there being no
scattering votes, and not nearly as
much scratching as is usual where the
election is simply matter of personal
choice. The election was a decisive
one, the. jury has delivered it's verdict
and the sooner the late unpleasant
ness is forgotten, and the new board
and new superintendent given free
hand to work for the good of the
schools the better.

Adolph Juergerson, of the town
ship of Framnas, suffered a serious
and painful injury on Wednesday, as a
result of which he is now confined to
his bed, and will be for some time.
While riding corn cultivator, the
seat gave away and he fell to the
ground with his feet still caught in
the stirrups with which to guide the
shovels. Juergerson in falling pulled
the horses around, and he had to get
out his knife and cutsthe lines to stop
the horses, but not before both ankles
were broken, and the bones forced
thru the skin. The injury was ex-
ceedingly painful, and the injured
man laid for an hour before he sue
ceeded in summoning help. He was
then taken home and DR.. Game sum-
moned and reduced the fracture. His
injury is severe one and will take
some time to recover. Mr.. Juerger-
son has the sympathy of many fr ends
in being so severely injured just at
the beginning of the busiest season of
the year.

The past week has been very favor
able to the growing crops, the wealth
er being warm and dry. Corn is
making rapid advances. The barley
harvest has begun, and several farm
ers report that they are well satisfied
with the barley crop. Other crops
are doing well and a harvest above
the average is now in prospect. Grain
on land where the water had chance
to run off is looking fine, but all fields
look spotted on account of the grain
being entirely drowned out wherever
the water stood.
