which was sunk in collision with the
battleship Rostislay during maneuvers
Friday night, or of recovering the
wreck, owing to the great depth Of
water. Two divers have died in the
attempts TO rescue the men, on ac-
count of the immense pressure. 9th

to pass chains around the wreck, but
finally came to the surface utterly eX-
hausted, having accomplished nothing.
All operations have been abandoned.
The chances 0f saving the lives OF
the imprisoned men were recognized
from the first as very remote, although
under normal conditions the subma.
rines have an air capacity of three
days. The Kambala type of subma.
rine, however, is weak structurally ard
for this reason cannot make descen.

BUMPER CROP IS PROMISED
Sig Increase in Acreage Devoted to
Grain Raising Virgin Soil
Broken for Flax.

st. Paul, May 26.-The percentage
Of land devoted to grain raising In
the Northwest this season will be
considerably in excess Of that Of last
year, according to reports received
from various points In Minnesota and
the Dakotas at the local railroad Of
fees.
The increase is mostly accounted
tor by land that has been newly
broken this spring for hax seeding.
The acreage put into other grains in
this state ut the present time is
about the same as last year. In
North and South Dakota the steam
pillow has broken up thousands of
acres of virgin soil that will be seed
ed within the next week Or ten days
in fax.
With the exception of fax, the
seeding In Minnesota Is practically
finished. Reports from various parts
of the state are to the effect that
some Of the grain is already in sight
and that conditions are highly favor
able. In the Dakotas, also, most of
the grain, except fax, is in and grow.
ing well
Those in touch with the situation
say that the prospects for abundant
production in the Northwest are
bright.

PULLED A BELL DOWN.

School Teacher Had Narrow Escape
When Heavy Bell Fell Near Her.
Miss Haug, principa, of the public
school at Harrisburg was the victim
of a peculiar accident, from which
she narrowly escaped with her life.
The janitor did not appear at the ac-
customed time and Miss Haug herself
decided to ring the school house bell.
She had not pulled the rope more than
a few times beore thief heavy bell
which in some manner had become un-
fastened from its moorings, fell with
a crash down through the belfry, strik-
ing only short distance from her.
Had the heavy bell struck her on the
head she would have been killed. AS
it was, her only injury was the severe
blistering of her hands, due to the
speed with which the bell-rope was
pulled through them while the bell
was falling and before she could re-
lease herself from the rope.
