The Weather.

Well, the weather man has kept right
on doing so. The last week has been
even worse than its predecessors. A
heavy rain week ago Thursday after
noon and night. which lasted until Fri
day noon. Saturday was cloudy and
rain again Sunday and Monday finishing
up Tuesday morning with few fakes of
snow. Wednesday was cold and cloudy
and Thursday morning as we write it is
cold and clear. Wednesday night the
thermometer went to % and Thursday
morning there was ice on the water
vessels. This of course means that no
threshing has been done for that time
and that there can be none done for two
or three days at least. The wheat does
not seem to be damaged in the shocks as
yet, but the kernels are too damp to be
taken at the elevators until they have
had time to dry out. While the weather
has been very unsatisfactory here, a
little farther south it has been worse.
Fields in the locality of Crookston were
observed on Sunday by train passengers
standing several inches deep in water,
and the Sunday and Monday rains
brought them almost two inches more of
water, finishing up with snow from two
to four inches deep, A card from a
south going passenger Wednesday, re-
ceived this morning says ''snow from
Forest River to Manitoba junction. -
From the north in Canada we hear very
discouraging reports of rain and frost.

TWO INNOCENT MEN ARE
 SERVING LIFE SENTENCE
Claim of Attorney Who is Trying to
 Secure Their Release.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-A legal battle was begun today in an attempt to liberate Thomas McNally 63 years old, and Charles Kurth. 45. who have served nearly 19 years of life sentence in Joliet penitentiary for the murder Of Patrick Prunty and his son James. It is charged by counsel for the convict ed men that former Assistant States Attorney Robinson, who conducted the prosecution, suppressed the testimony of witnesses who claimed that the men on trial were not the murderers.
 The murders occurred on Nov. 15, 1893. Edward Warden was found guilty in connection with the same murders, but he died 13 years ago, a short time after he had been pardoned. In a dy- ing statement Warden declared his in- nocence and also that of the men who are now fighting for liberty. He said that they. were together at the time of the murder at a rooming house at which they lived.
