CROP BULLETIN

Minnesota Crop Conditions for tlie Week
Eliding June 24.
The temperatures during the week
have not been unusually high or un
usually low. Showers were general on
the 20th or 21st, and there were scat
tered showers on"~Gtner days as well
these coming so 'soon after the heavy
rains Of the night of the 15th have sup
plifed an abundance of moisture. Many
correspondents are {earful that con
tinued rams will cause lodging of
whjeat, oats and barley on rich soils,
and bring about conditions favorable
for rust, but as yet there are no reports
of injury from excessive rainfall, ex
cept that in western Polk comity
some wheat is drowned out, and sloughs
are so wet as to interfere with gather
ing wild hay. The late sown grains
are generally very luxuriant on rich
soils, but in some places the early
sown wheat is thin and spindling.
Where wheat is thin the weeds are
growing rapidly. Wheat, oats and
barley are beginning to head as far
north as Polk county. Potatoes are
doing well, and a few are being mar
keted. Flax is growing rapidly, and
in Dakota county it is coming into
flower. Corn is growing well, though
still somewhat backward. Grass, clo
ver and timothy are good in northern
and western portions, but in the south
east the growth was shortened by dry
weather early in the season. Some
clover is being cut, but there has been'
no good haying weather during the
week Winter rye is beginning to
turn color. Hail fell in different parts
of the State, but no injury occurred,
except in the vicinity of Minneapolis,
whfere market gardens suffered a dam
age of several thousands of dollars.
The crops on about 400 acres in Sher
burne county were injured by hail on
the loth A native grasshopper is
causing injury to crops, mostly flax,
in northern counties.
Sent to the Home.
About a fortnight ago Mrs. William
Wamberg came to the village and an
nounced that her husband had deserted
her and she had been driven from her
home by her step-father. It will be
remembered the marriage grew out of
the indictment of William Wamberg
for criminally knowing Miss Albrecht,
a girl of tender years, and the cere
mony saved the young man from serv
ing a term in the State prison. He
has now deserted" her and as the laws
of the State are very strict upon this
point he stands an excellent chance to
do time should he ever be apprehended.
When the girl came to Princeton she
was in a delicate condition and some
of our citizens interested themselves in
her behalf. She was given a home at
the Commercial and last Saturday,
arrangements having been made with
the management of Bethany Home,
Minneapolis, she was sent there, the
expense having been defrayed by con
tributions from the business men and
others.
The kind services of Mrs, E. A. Rus
sell were Unlisted in the girl's behalf
ajid Mrs. Caley has received the fol
lowing letter:
Dear Mrs. CaleyTMiss Thompson,
mother of the Home, and I met the
girl and I put them in a car for the
Home all right. She did not give me
the note, but presume she forgot it and
will send it from the Home. If not I
will send for it. The check came later
and I will deliver it to the treasurer
to-morrow. Thank you very much for
it as the Home is in debt and at this
season of the year has a hard time to
get along. She will have a good home
and be well cared for, and I will look
out for her. E. A. RUSSELL
But the end was not yet. The girl
was dissatisfied with the place and hav
ing enough money to purchase a return
ticket came to Princeton Tuesday
evening. Now an attempt will be made
to compel the relatives of the girl to
care for her and guard her from the
moral jackals that infest her path
PRICE O EGGS HAD TO RISE.
Farmer Discusses Irtiosyncracies of Hen
Nature With a Customer.
As the woman in the suburbs ob
jected upon economical principles to
paying m6re for eggs than she had
paid a week before, she held a joint
debate on the subject with the man
from the country who supplies her,
says the Detroit Free Press There
was just the suggestion of an edge on
her tope as she respectfully asked him
why eggs should be cheaper the latter
part of April than the early part of
May.
"Hens is hens," he replied, and it
sounded as if he was talking by note.
"You can't tell uothin' 'bout them:
nothin' 'tall. I hain't sayin' anythin'
fur or ag'inst the female sect, explain
in' which I will say that I'm livin'
with my third wife, and I wouldn't
make no afferdavid now that any one
of "em was alike. Par's I been able ter
cackerlate, every woman's a vari'ty
jist in herself An' hens, so fur as I
been able fur to observe, is all mem
bers of the same sect, but dif-i'ent
Now, I got a hen what don't seem to
have no object but fur to fight the cat
All the layin' she does is a layin' fur
him' an' when he gits in sight there's
the doggondest row ever you see
There's another hen in the lot is alius
lookin' fur"
"Dtft what's all this got tb do with
the price of eggs'? I don't want the
history of your hennery. I'll pay you
what I paid -iast^weeb, and not a cent
more"
1
"But I'm tryin' to explain If a hen
is fightin' cats, understand, or detect
in' chicken hawks, or 'lowin' any out
side issue fur to occerpy her mind,
she's not layin' eggs. That's plain
'nough She's not layin' eggs That's
where the immuter'ble law of supply
an' deman' comes in. Ask your man
'bout it. He'll understan'. Fur m
stinx, if thirty hens outen a hundred
is not occupied by business they is less
eggs 'an if they was all, producin'.
Them as eats eggs"
"For goodness sake! Give me six
dozen."
Says the Times I Off.
The following clipping concerning
the Greenough case is taken from the
St. Cloud Times.
Ten days ago, Judge Searle gave
County Attorney Ross, of Princeton,
permission to file briefs against the
application made by Stan Donaelly for
a new trial for U. Greenough, sen
tenced at Princeton to five years in the
penitentiary on the charge of rape.
Mr. Ross has failed to file the neces
sary briefs, and to-day he was notified
by the court that the briefs should be
filed at once in order to have them
considered
It is more than likely that Mr.
Greenough will secure a new trial on
the showing made by his attorney.
Mr. Ross was seen by a representa
tive of the UNION and said that there
was absolutely no truth in the rumor.
He was given ten days in which to
make a brief and it was done vrithin
the limit and sent to the court The
story probably grew out of an attempt
by the attorney for the defense to have
Mr. Ross serve a copy of his brief upon
him within the ten days, but as this
was not provided for in the order it
was not done. Mr. Ross sajs he is con
fident of winning the case, even if it
becomes necessary to go to the supreme
court with it.
Compliments Tom.
The Hardwme Trade reproduced Mr.
Caley's plow ad printed in the UNION
and then made the following compli
mentary comment:
Of all the implement advertisements
in about a hundred papers examined
recently the ad of T, H. Caley, of
Princeton, was by far the best. This
advertisement was inserted in the mid
dle of April, when the'plow season was
at its Jieight. Plow trade was the prin
cipal -matter before the retailer, and
Mr. Caley went after it in the right
way. He put the ^vord "Plows" in
large type at the fop of "his advertise-,
ment, and then quoted prices on these
goods. A little fuller explanation of
these plows might have been made, but
as it is, the advertisement is well writ
ten and tempting to the farmer. It is
dollars to doughnuts that not very
many of the readers of the paper in
which this advertisement appeared
sent to catalogue houses in Chicago or
Minneapolis after plows,^
THE LAW_WA S VOID.
The Forfeit Sale of Delinquent Lands
Advertised for Last Monday
Did Not Occur.
The Supreme Court Decision Made It/
ImpossibleThe Decision
Came Very Late.
Much work, care and worry might
ha\e been saved Auditor Whitney had
the supreme court rendered a decision
sooner in the test cases under the law
of 1897 and the county would have
been saved considerable expense, too.
Last Thursday the supreme court in
a lengthy decision held that none of
the lands advertised for sale June 24
pursuant to chapter 339, general laws
of 1901. could be sold unless there had
been a refundment to the purchaser.
In other words, no land could be sold
last Monday, save where there had
been a refundment of the amount bid
at the sale held in May, 1889, and as
there had been no refundments in
Mille Lacs county, the whole sale wa3
off
Chapter 93, general laws of 1899,
provided for a refundment in case
chapter 290, general laws of 1897,
should be declared unconstitutional
and this same chapter provided that
no refundment should be had unless
the petition provided for was presented
to the board of county commissioners
within two years from the date of sale
of the property. In this county but
one firm applied for a refundment and
as that petition was not made in proper
form it was inoperative.
The decision leaves things in bad
shape, but there appears to be no rem
edy for the error now.
THE CELEBRATION.
The Glorious Fourth Will Be Celebrated
at Green Lake.
Next Thursday Green Lake will
have a special attraction for visitors,
especially those who desire to celebrate
the Fourth of July. Mr. Holm has
been busy for several weeks preparing
to entertain his guests and those who
desire a good time will not go wrong
if they visit him on that day.

works will be burned, a fitting close of
what promises to be a most enjoyable
day.
Refreshments will be served during
the day at the navilion. Everybody is
cordially invited to attend. Come and
bring your family and enjoy a splendid
holiday.
The Globe Jokes.
The punitive expedition which Gov.
Gen. Van Sant sent out to suppress and
punish the rations in and about Brain
erd has arrived ahead of schedule time.
It surprised several boars and a few
small pigs, which it took prisoner. A
copje occupied by a squad of hens was
assaulted and occupied after a desper
ate struggle The hens were picked.
A gallant charge was made upon a bull
who disputed the passage of the de
tachment. The enemy stood his ground
until the advance guard moving at
double-quick, got within one half mile,
when he broke ranks and fled, waving
his tail as a flag of truce. Although
the march was through an uninhabited
country, full of savages, the troops
bore up and slept well Not a death
has occurred, and only 99 per cent are
on the homesick list. Great credit is
due Gov. VanSant for the unprece
dented success of this expedition.
Frogs are plentiful.St. Pavl Globe.
It isn't best to be too sensative in
this rough-and-tumble world. Don't
allow yourselves to worry over what
people say about you. No matter what
you say or do, it will appear different
to different eyes. One will pronounce
it just the right thing, while others
will denounce it wholly bad. At best
you can please only a certain few while
a great many don't know what you are
doing and don't care. Do what you
think is best under the circumstances
and let the result be what it may Ex.
