Captain Cook, a revolutionary hero, died In poverty and lies in an un marked grave in Babylon, L. I. Judge James Cooper and others have formed an association to raise a monument over his grave. Joel Cook was born Oct. 12, 1760, and was less than 15 years old when Paiil Revere made his famous ride. He was too small to en list, but was employed as a waiter. In a year or two he enlisted and bore arms throughout the struggle, and in 1811 in the war with England he raised and commanded a company. He lived to an advanced age, and died in 1861. As the Murray cure institute and its wonderful cures at Fargo become bet ter known, the institution grows, and Its work for the good of the com&iun ity is thereby enlarged. The Indlca tlons for a great number of patients and therefore cures of the liquor bablt are very promising. As soon as har vest and the most of the rush is over, there will be need for every room in the now enlarged building at 321 Thir teenth street south. The good care given patients, the excellent table set, the beautiful grounds about the build ing, which is for the exclusive use of patients, make the Murray institute rather a club, composed of genial, hearty members, than anything else ene may think of.

Plunder, at Fornm, Sir Douglas Fox, who has been com missioned to prepare the new plans for the long-talked-of channel tunnel, is regarded by the members of his pro fession afe ope of the greatest engin eers of his time. It is owing to hts marvelous creative a|M. constructive genius that the Cape to Cairo railway has developed into an actuality in stead of an impossible dream of the empire builders, the late Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Bolt, who has just left the scheme £1,200,000. The great bridge across the Victoria falls on-the Zam besi river will always remain a monu ment to his great abilities. The Mer sey tunnel, opened in 1885, which con nects Liverpool with Birkenhead and the Cheshire side of the River Mersey, is another of his engineering achieve ments, as is also the Liverpool over head railway and the Hawarden rail way bridge across the River Dee.

Lack of sufficient rainfall is now having as serious effect on the wheat crop In the valley as a too great quan 1 ity of moisture had during the earlier part of the season, according to Ned. A. Colby, a prominent farmer of Gard ner. Mr. Colby does not pretend to be familiar with the situation throughout the valley, but he Is well Informed re garding the conditions existing In the vicinity of his home and judging from this and the conversations he'has had with other farmers he gives it as his opinion that the crop prospects In the land lying within twenty miles of the river are not as bright as they were. "The very wet spring made it im possible for more than half of the acreage around Gardner and Grandin to be seeded," said Mr. Colby, "but the ac'reage which had been seeded presented a fine appearance up to about four weeks ago, and gave prom ise of a good average crop. "Then came the dry spell and it wrought more damage than it would In an ordinary year." Mr. Colby explains this in an inter esting way bringing out several points with relation to the growth of the wheat plant. "In ordinarily dry seasons," he said, "the plants begin sending their roots down deeper into the soil as soon as they commence to grow in search of moisture but in a wet season like this they are not compelled to do this, as they can find all the moisture they need close, to the surface. The result is that the roots spread over the sur face and do not go down into the soil and when a dry spell comes they have no means of reaching the moisture which is further down. "This is what has happened this summer and as a result the farmers of the valley are suffering. My farm is located on a ridge consequently the damp conditions which prevailed last fall and this spring did not effect me as much as they did some otljers, yet I shall consider myself fortunate if my crop averages ten to twelve bush els to the acre this year. Judging from what I have heard and seen I do not believe the farmers of the valley will have more than a 30 per cent wheat crop this year. "But I am not a pessimist. The valley Is not' by any means the whole of North Dakota, and from the reports I have heard from the west I am led to believe that the crops out there will be unusually large and the sfate as a whole will have a good yield." We want to meet parties who have some residence lots for sale. A ten acre tract adjoining the city limits will be considered. O. W. Kerr Co. Presbyterian Picnic. Members of the Presbyterian church and Sunday school will enjoy a picnic at Sanborn's grove, one mile south of the city limits, on the Thirteenth street road, next Thursday.

Michigan City Arena: Michigan was the scene of a shooting affair on Tues day evening which, in ail probability will prove fatal. The victim, Arthur Walker, giving his home as Pargor, Me., lies at Mercy hospital, Devils Lake, rapidly sinking from'tho effects of a bullet wound In the left breast. At 10:30 that evening an extra freight which had gone into siding for the passage of flyer No. 1 as this place, was boarded by Walker and a companion, named John Toughlil, in an attempt to secure a free passage east. They were discovered by a brake man, who ordered them to leave the train which they at once did. Accord ing to the testimony of Walker and Toughlil, the brakeman, after boarding the train turned and shot at them, the bullet passing through the latter's sleeve and found its mark In the breast of Walker who fell seriously wounded. Whether or no the brake man or crew were aware of the extent of the injury, is hard of conjecture as the train immediately pulled out. Walker was immediately taken charge of and his wound given prompt attention, but at the time his life was despaired of and it was not thought he should survive until morning. Lat er, however, he rallied and was taken to the city hall where his testimony was taken, it tallying in every par ticular with the story told by his com panion, Toughlil. A report of the affair was Immed iately wired to the proper authorities of the road, who interviewed the con ductor of the extra. He and the re mainder of the crew affirmed that there were no revolvers carried upon the train, and that the shot was not fired by any one of them. The obvious conflict of this statement with that of the wounded man and his companion, leaves the balance of decision decided ly in favor of the latter, in view of the facts as known.

Walker is a fine looking young fel low of about 25 and both he and his companion are types of the roving days laborers, brought hither by the pros pects of harvest work. He has a mother and brothers residing at Pargor, Me. State's Attorney Kelly came down on Wednesday evening and interview ed the prinripals and will give the matter the most thorough investiga tion, which will undoubtedly result in the arraignment of the train crew and the detention of the guilty man.
