HARVEST IN NORTH DAKOTA First Grain Cat at Neclie-More Men Needed. Specials to The Journal. Ne2he, N. D., Aug. 5.--Harvest opened in this section to-day. As the yield is heavy many more men than are at present available will be needed. An average of from twenty to twent >--five bushels an acre is expected. Barley is "dead ripe." Local elevators are havi.ng some business, owing to the fact that farmers are anxious I to empty their granaries in preparation for the new crop. Sho-ald the present fa vorable weather continue, threshing will be general here in three weeks Big Stone. S. D., Av.g. s.—Reports from threshing begin to come in. H. B. Crip pen, west of town, threshed five bushels to the acre of rejected v/aeat. Aug. Zumach, six miles southeast, threshed ten bushels an acre, No. 3. This 1 6 some less than had been estimated, an A indicates that the damage by the heat was greater than thought. Hastings, Minn., Aug. s.—The harvest in Dakota county is nearly completed with prospects of an average crop. All kinds of grain are turning out much better than expected. Cokato, Minn., Aug. s.—The crops in this locality are turning out far better than expected.

The coin crop is looking fine and If weather remains favorable a good yield is certain. KANSAS CORN Failure Thereof Will Not Cause Ruin to Farmers. • Special to The Journal. Chiclago, Aug. s.—The Kansas corn crop, while it: is by no means what it promised to be before the drought of July parched the fields, is not likely to cause the ruin of Kansas farmers. David F. Mulvane, republican national commit teeman from that state, finds optimism in the outlook. He said to-day: It is true that Kansas will produce little more than a usrfcer of the crop expected this year. The drought has been severe in my state, and the corn has suffered extensively But there is no danger of great business re verses through; the crop failure. The banks of Kansas are bulging with money that th? farmers have accumulated during the past four years. Mortgages have been paid off, and farms that were encumbered for years ,are clear. All of the corn harvested will go Into legitimate channels and will reach the market. The rains during the latter part of July were so copious that the crop ripened .rapidly^ It is so far advanced that the farm ers will be able to plant Kaffir corn in the fields within the next week or so, and this corn will be fed to the cattle and live stock. In this way all of the corn will reach the market. Kansas was never so ■ prosperous as it is to-day. Every branch of Industry is thriving, and the farming class, in point of wealth, will compare with that of any state in the union. ' f; . t ;v,^; ■■<■:■> ■•■..; Contract for Convent Awarded.

BODIES OF THE POOR County Officials in a Jangle Over Their Disposition. CORONER VERSUS POOR FARM The Former Insists That Unclaimed Bodies Be Sent to the roller's Field. Coroner Williams says that if the su perintendent of the county poor farm re fuses to accept bodies from the morgue he will deliver them anyway, even if he has to "dump them on the lawn." In a letter to the county commissioners, read at their meeting this morning, Dr. Williams says that he has been notified that the poor farm will not receive the bodies, but that he will pay no attention to the notice. He will send the bodies, and if they are not received they will be dropped unceremoniously at the front door. Commissioner Nash said the doctor was laboring under a delusion, and that Super intendent Colburn had sent no such no tice. The Superintendent has made remarks to that effect, it is said, but not officially. He is tired of the red tape proceedings by which bodies unclaimed at the morgue are sent by an undertaker to the poor farm, and then turned over to the uni versity medical college. The county pays for the hauling and for the coffin, "which is not used. Dr. Williams, however, insists on a strict compliance with custom. In the same letter the coroner recom mends the puchase of a refrigerator for the morgue. In hot weather bodies cannot be kept there longer than twenty-four hors, which is apt to be insufficient time for identification. CAN'T HOLD THEIR MEN I COMPLAUfT OF R. R. CONTRACTORS Laborer* Work fur a Few Days and Then Imported Labor Al most a. .Necessity. Winston Brothers of this city, railroad contractors, complain of the itineracy of "the man with the hoe." He does not seem inclined to settle down to months of hard labor, but works a few days here and a few days there, ever discontented, and anxious to move on. T. A. Winston, who personally has charge of a crew of 300 men engaged on the Birch Dam extension of the Omaha road at Rice Lake, Wis., says: •'We pay our men $2 per day and not one in a hundred complains of his wages. Yet we cannot keep the same crew for forty-eight hours. From six to twenty five quit every day, and as many more are sent down from the twin cities or Duluth. We have no trouble in finding men, but we do experience great trouble in keeping them." A few years ago, according to Mr. Win ston, a crew could be hired for the season and very little trouble was experienced in keeping them. But it has grown worse and worse. Continued Mr. Winston: "They say that contractors, are import ing Italians and Japs. Well, we will have to import something in the near future if we hope to succeed in filling our contracts. The high wages and demand for labor makes the men independent. And then it is possible that during the years of no work they got into the habit of tramping and cannot get settled down to anything else. AN OUTDOOR SERVICE People of St. Anggarius Parish Meet at Spring Park. The annual outdoor service of St. Ansg;arius' parish was held yesterday in the firove at Spring Park and about 300 cam© out from the city to participate. The regular church service was given and the people found places under the trees. Pro fessor Anderson and Miss Marie Magnu sen sang an appropriate duet as an of feratory and Rev. O. A. Tofteen's sermon was on the gospel for the day. After serv ice a basket dinner was served and the afternoon was spent in quiet pleasures and ia resting and lounging on the lake shore and in the grove. The older people returned on the afternoon train, but the majority of those present remained through the evening. This outdoor service is a novel idea conceived by Rector Tofteen to meet the needs of his people. It was the custom in St. Angsarius' church to hold a Sun day school picnic sometime during the summer at Minnehaha Falls or Lake Har riet. The people of St. Ansgarius' church are busy people and none of the fathers and very few of the mothers could partic ipate in a week day picnic. Mr. Tofteen suggested that the parish hold its serv ice out of doors one Sunday in the sum mer. In this way the fathers, mothers and children could participate and the older people could enjoy a restful day at the lake. The suggestion met with en thusiastic approval and three years ago the first service was held in the Spring t*ark grove. The third service, which was held yes terday, shows no decline in interest and the people were as reverent and devout as ■at church. There are none of the features of a Sunday picnic about this outing and the afternoon is spent quietly. Mr. Tof teen finds it a delightful time to visit with his people and the sociability of the parish is largely increased. The Sunday school, teachers and pupils, are taken out at the expense of the parish and it is rather a curious fact that the offeratory is just about twice as large at the lake as it is in the city. A SOLDIERS' BURIAL Members of Company X Attend the Funeral of Daniel Brophy. Funeral services over the remains of aDniel Brophy, late of company X, Thir teenth Minnesota Volunteers, took place at 10 o'clock this morning at the Church of the Ascension. Military honors were accorded, the funeral being conducted by fellow members of companyK, sixteen of whom came from Stillwater to attend the services. Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Harrington and the sermon was preached by Rev. Father Casey. The pall bearers and firing squad were from his old company, the pall bearers be ing Captain Burlingham, Lieutenant Har vard, Nelson Marsh, Albert Seeker, Char lie Johnston and Arthur Chambers. The firing squad was in command of Lieutenant J. J. Walsh and consisted of Ed McGlllen, James Walsh, Harvey Downs, James Clap perton, George Bramsaugh, Will Lammers, Will Rutherford and Angus McDonald. M. Casey acted as bugler. The body was in terred at St. Mary's cemetery. A RETURN ENGAGEMENT The Banda Rossa Fair Week Con certs Definitely Announced. The Banda Rossa will return to Minne apolis to fill an engagement lasting from Sept. 2 to 8. fair week. A committee con sisting of J. R. Gordon, W. L. Harris, John W. Thomas, Fred M. Powers and A. M. Shuey will have charge of a series of fourteen concerts to be given during that time. Tickets will be placed at 25 cents each, and the surplus will be applied on the fund for the new convention hall. Merchants are buying the tickets In large blocks. It has not been decided where these concerts will be given. Either Lake Harriet or the exposition building will be selected. The business men be lieve that the Banda Rossa is an attrac tion that will be greatly appreciated by the country visitors. DROWNED IN A POND. Special to The Journal. Butte, Neb., Aug. s.—Dewey, the three year-old son of John Donahue, fell into a pond last night and was drowned. THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. TRUST OF GROCERS A Giant Combine on the Verge of Realization. ONE MAN DEFEATED THE PLAN The Scheme Wan to Bring All Min neapolis Groccm Under One. , Management. The facts concerning an effort made j a short time ago to form a combination of all the retail grocers in the city of Minneapolis, capitalize this combination | at a large sum, make most of the retail ! grocers managers of their own stores, I and have a central wholesale purchasing j agency, through which all the goods i would be purchased for the retail dealers of the city, have just leaked out, says the Comercial Bulletin. The only reason that the attempt to form the combination was not success ful, Is due to the fact that several of the retail dealers of the city, and one especially, would have absolutely nothing to do with the echeme. This one grocer is very prominent in the affairs of the lo cal grocers' association, and he was of fered the presidency of the proposed trust if he would consent to go into the deal and help effect the combination. After ascertaining exactly what was proposed he refused the presidency, and it is his re fusal that prevented the combination cap italists from going ahead with their plans. THE WIFE IS ARRESTED ♦IRS. BLAKEFIELD IN CUSTODY She In Charged With Complicity- in the Escape of Her Hus band. Mrs. Emma Blakefield was arraigned be fore Judge Holt this morning charged with being accessory to the escape of her hus band, Lincoln T. Blakefield, business agent of the United Brotherhood of Car penters, .who is alleged to be short in his accounts. The complaint was sworn to by John Oker, president of the local union. Bail was fixed at $300, and an examina tion fixed for Wednesday next. The wararnt states that Blakefield on March 1, 1901, as agent, business manager and an officer of local union No. 7, had possesison of $765, and that he fraudulent ly embezzled and converted $765 to his own use; further. Emma Blakefield knew this felony was committed, and knowing ly received $550 of said money and with held information from the city authori ties, and from all other persons, ac to the whereabouts of said Blakefield, although she well knew, and now well knows, where said Blakefield was, and now is. Mrs. Blakefield takes her imprisonment : hardly and declares that she is entirely innocent of the charge. She says she has no knowledge of the whereabouts of her husband and that she has not heard form him since his departure. She admits that at his instance she drew from the bank $547 belonging to the union and gave it to him, but says that she had not the least intimation that he intended to decamp. Mrs. Blakfifleld has a 16-moths-old baby which she has been compelled to place in the care of a neighbor, and her friends will do everything in their power to secure the necessary bail to effect her release. THE DULUTH NORMAL Some of Its Problems Up Before Board of Control. The Duluth normal school was dis cussed at two conferences between a del egation of zenith city men and the state board of control, one last evening and the other this morning. The Duluth delegation included Con ! gressman Page Morris, Senator L. B. j Daugherty, Mayor T. M. Hugo, J. L. Washburn and Professor William T. Phelps, Duluth's representative on the state normal board. These gentlemen want the board of control to anticipate the 1902 appropriation in order 1 to give money enough to run the school full I time this winter. They would then de i pend on the special session for the 1902 expenses. It is absolutely illegal to an ticipate a current expense appropriation. Attorney General Douglas holds, however, that the board may draw on the 1902 ap propriation for furniture if necessary. There will only be about $4,000 available for salaries this winter, outside of that of the superintendent. Members of the board of control are inclined to think that ?2,000 will buy enough furniture for the rooms htat will be needed this winter. If more is needed, they will anticipate part of next year's money. They have advised the Du } luth people to defer opening the school ! till 1902. If it opens this year it can hardly run full time either this winter or next. This would deter many students, and make It hard to secure good instruc tors. The Duluth people, however, are anxious to get things going. FACTORIES ARE SAFE Report of J. Moerseh, One of the State Inspectors. J. Moersch, one of the state factory In spectors, in a report on safeguards for factory machinery, cays that most Minne sota factories are well equipped with up to-date safety devices, which reduce the danger of accidents fully fifty per cent. Gears and cog wheels are shielded, mak ing laundry machinery and printing presses quite harmless. Steel splitters have obviated the danger of running cir cular saws. Safety devices on elevators are quite perfected. Safety collars and couplings are the rule, and accidents are seldom reported from exposed collar set screws or shaft couplings with projecting bolts. ATKINS WANTS DAMAGES He Snei Several Police Officers for False Arrest. Chief of Police Ames, Chief of De tectives King, Inspector Chris " Norbeck and Edward Wilson, Lee Taylor and David C. Broderick, are defendants in an action filed with the clerk of the district court to-day by E. G. Atkins in which false ar rest and imprisonment is alleged. Atkins was charged with attempted extortion, but the grand jury failed to return a bill against him. He languished in the coun ty jail for many weeks and thinks that $5,000 would be not too great a sum to demand as reparation. TIPS TO BUTTERMAKERS How the Dairy Commissioner Fur nishes Pointers.

USE THE COURTHOUSE COURT There Is Plenty of Room and the Expense Would Be Light— Others Approve. • A big public bathhouse, for both winter and summer use, located in the great | I court of the courthouse and city hall; is | the latest suggestion "for the solution of the municipal bath problem in Minneapo j lis. To Secretary Ridgway of the park j board belongs the credit of the initial sug [ gestion. Park Commissioner Harry Jones i and Alderman Powers are both interesting themselves in the matter and there is at I least a chance that something will come | of it some day, If not in the near fu ture. The court is 130 feet square and in the center is a circular "enclosure one story : in height, and about eighty feet in diam- I : eter. It was the original plan of the I architect that this court should be equip ped. as a public lavatory, but of that there is no need, at the present time at least. ■ "It is just the proper place for public baths," says Mr. Ridgway. "The great circular enclosure can easily be made to | serve the purpose -of a swimming pool, i and there is ample room around the en- | closure and in the dark rooms on the j court side of the two buildings to provide j all the space necessary for dressing j rooms, shower baths and the other neces- j sary adjuncts." The place can be fitted up as a bathing i place at a minimum of expense, he con- | tends, and there are in the two buildings ample heating and lighting plants, steam j for hot water heating, and sewer and water connections. Both as to situation and arrangement the place fills the requirements of a great popular bathing establishment to perfec tion, he insists. Those, to whom he has broached the scheme are greatly taken with it. There | is one exception, however, in P. B. Long, j architect of the building. He insists that i it would be too marked a perversion of the original plans. He favors <■' leaving the court as it is for the present and at the proper time putting it to the service originally intended—a public lavatory. SOUTH DAKOTA TOPICS There is littls doing in a political way in the state just now. The settlement of .he senatorial succession and the advent of the busy season on the farms have caused a lull. All classes were quite content to let affairs of state alone during the recent almost un precedented spell of torridity. The so-called "machine" papers and the leading dailies are not saying a word. Desul tory firing is done by the fusion organs,which j like to dip into republican politics, and by the j "anti" papers on the republican side. Not ) able among the latter are the Herald of Alex andria, ex-Auditor Taylor's paper, and the I Howard Spirit, which has recently absorbed ] j*a rival and gives promise of being more i i saucy and pert than ever. Both see trouble | ahead for the "machine" and have been try i ing to strike a keynote for those who would j ] make another machine and are just now j I known as the people. It is everyvhere taken for granted that Senator Kittrelge will be a candidate before the legislature to succeed himself. As he took his first lessons in politics under Petti grew, it is not unreasonable to believe that he canvassed the situation thoroughly before accepting Governor Herreid's appointment, and satisfied himself that his chances of re-^ niaining iv the senate were good. The new senator purposes to stay in the senate ,and as he is the best politician in the state, I there is a good prospect that he will. The anti-Kittredge people are more than likely to rally around Coe I. Crawford of Huron. There may be other candidates, but these two will be far and away in the lead. It ought to make an exceedingly pretty con test. Kittredge ai\d Crawford are antipodes. The former is strong in counsel and fruitful in scheming. The latter is a better debater and speaker than politician. One is silent and reserved, while the other believes In "mixing" and is free and above board in everything. Both are effective in vote-get ting, though pursuing widely different methods. Crawford is the more popular and quicker to catch the public eye and to be greeted with public acclaim. Kittredge has friends and "their adoption tried." He has taken old Polonius' advice, "Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice." His friends, too, are powerful and he has them grappled "with hooks of steel." The "machine" is resolved on the defeat of Crawford even though Kittridge is not retained. His independent and vigorous methods have given offense to many of the leaders. His role is like that of La Follette in AVisconsin and of Cummins in lowa. The old timers have found him useful In cam paigns, but they ara unwilling that he should contest for the leadership with them. Neither is the "machine" over pleased with Senator Gamble. It had to take him on last winter, bui it will not do it again if it can help it. As stated by Editor Taylor, the plan of the managers is to elect Kittredge in 1903 and to put Herreid or some tried northern man in the senate four years later to succeed Gam ble. It is a big undertaking, but the "ma chine" is not lacking in confidence. A test of the strength of the opposing factions is likely to be made next year when the state convention is held. Crawford will seek the indorsement of the convention and the present managers will aim to defeat him and in case of a clear control will nominate Kittredge for the senatorial candi date. If the factions are not afraid to join issues, the canvass for delegates to this con vention will be the most spirited in years. If the organization is confident ftf dominat ing the convention, it will meet halfway all of Mr. Crawford's propositions to nominate. The convention on this account, if for no other, ought to be a hummer. Herreid as governor should be renominated hands down, but there is no knowing to what lengths the fight between the factions will go and just who may be made to suffer. There would be some chance for the fusion ists to elect a judge In the fifth judicial cir cuit if the times were not so satisfactory and republicans less frequent. Some contend that there is a good show anyway. Null, of Hu ron, one of the ablest attorneys in the state, is likely to be the fusion candidate and will poll a heavy vote in the south end of the circuit. McCoy, the republican candidate, was | nominated by unjustifiable means, and it is possible some republicans will bolt him. Still, as he now resides in Brown county and lived for several years in Day and has a reasonably good pull in Marshall and Rob erts, he ought to get through without great trouble. Null is a tireless worker and will stir things up for an off-year. Postmaster Charlie Cooper of Huron can sing with Gay: "How happy could I be with either, were t'other dear charmer away." He has long been a red-hot Crawford man and has been setting up pins for several months. On the other hand, he owes a great deal to the friendship of Kittredge and has been "Kit's" firm friend and ardent admirer for many years. As a postmaster and candidate for reappointment he sees the necessity of being on good terms with the senators and representatives. The situation might be em barrassing for some men, but Cooper is smooth enough to find a happy way out. Frank J. Washabaugh, nominated by the republicans for judge in Moore's circuit in the Hills, is one of the old timers in the state and an accomplished lawyer and legislator. He was several times a member of the legislature in territorial days and has served in two or three capitals. —E. C. Torrey. East via the Great Lakei, "West via the Yellowstone Park.

RAILROADS ARE INTERESTED With Some of Them It Is Logs or -Nothius and They Take the Log-a. Railroads are becoming more and more interested in the hauling of logs to Min neapolis by rail. It is predicted that this means of transporting logs will come into general use next year. For a long time the roads discouraged the idea. Their idea was to force the erection of mills in the vicinity of the lumber woods and secure the hauling of the manufactured product; they would get the tariff, and lumber made a more satisfactory item of freight than logs. But both logs and lumber be gan to get away from some of the roads in several sections of the white pine coun try and they are now interested in secur ing the log traffic. Experiments have proved that the haul ing of logs by rail is a good business proposition. It is also pretty well demonstrated that this new departure in lumbering is to be the salvation of the Minneapolis mills. For the local mills the problem has been to keep the logs coming to be able to get them at the right time. While logging operations were being carried on near the big streams, this diffi culty did not become serious; but the nearby supply Is about exhausted and future cutting will be on the smaller streams, mainly. It takes nearly two years to drive the logs from many of these streams to Minneapolis. The mar ket can take a wonderful change in two years, and the delay in getting the logs to market is likely to upset all figures on possible profit. Transportation by rail overcomes this difficulty. It is estimated that 125,000,000 feet of logs wil be transported by rail from the northern woods this year. Of this the Scanlon-Gipson company will bring 21, --000,000 and the Backus-Brooks company 20,000,000 feet to Minneapolis. William Kaiser will haul 10,000,000 feet to Still water. The Muscatine Lumber company of South Muscatine, lowa, will add to this 75,000,000 feet to be hauled from Scan lon, Minn., to Stillwater, where the logß will be put into the river for driving to Muscatine. The bee and honey raisers of North Germany are having a hard time. They feel the competition of the artificial honey factories very much.

Benton and Maurice Wil liams of Fargo are at the Nicollet. Both are democratic sachems of the old tribes of that faith in North Dakota.

"Dawson is no cheap camp, and the people : there are anxious to prevent its becoming ' so," said B. L. Gates of Dawson City. "Prices are high and are likely to remain so for years. Business men there are doing well. ' Prosperity appears within reach of all who OBce get into the camp if th r have a fair I amount of wits and cash. People who have ! struggled for the bare necessities ail their ' lives came out of Dawson this year with i fortunes. Of course there have been fail ures. They are found anywhere. The rail way over Chilkoot Pass connecting Skaguay with White Horse is doing a good business. The firms engaged in the construction of rafts at White Horse have made a big stake.

The arrivals from south ern points who, as Dooley says, are seeking an "area of low thermometer," have increased during the past two weeks. Rev. W. E. Warren of Jacksonville, Fla., who is at the Nicollet, says that Minneapolis has a good reputation as a cool summer town in his part of the country. Florida has been making records of its own in heat this summer. The winter resort business in that state is in creasing, which is consolation to the Florida resident during the heated term.

The Midland Linseed Oil company of Minneapolis will erect a linseed oil plant in Spokane this season. This, at least, is the expectation of certain parties of Spo kane who have been in consultation with the officials of the local company. It is oaid that the plant will cost $50,000 and that it will handle the flax crop of the Xez Perce Indian reservation In Idaho, which it is estimated will be not less than half a million bushels this year, and of the farming*district tributary to Spokane. The farmers say they are getting about 30 cents less per bushel for their flax seed than the situation warrants, and they be lieve that a local mill would give them the relief desired.
