Not the least bountiful of North Da
kota's crops this year will be that of
potatoes. Large yields are reported
from several sections of the state, and
the vegetables are of the finest known
quality.
It was pretty chilly again last night,
but the frost predicted by the signal ser
vice failed to materialize in this vicinity.
A stiff breeze prevailed, which tended to
prevent any damage being done by the
low temperature.
Rev. Guy Wadsworth, brother of T. S
Wadflwortn, has been spending a few
days at the Wadsworth stock ranch in
the western part of the county. Mr.
Wadsworth contemplates spending sever
al weeks in North Dakota, as he finds his
health already greatly benefitted. The
family is making headquarters at the
Gladstone.
E. T. Kearney: I have lost $5,000 by
the frost. Would like to be insured No.
2 northern for lots of grain. Green
fields last Saturday now show white.
The frost came in streaks. Some fields
were nipped hard, while on adjoining
places the potatoes and cucumbers did
not get touched. One has no right to
figure on wheat until it gets in the gran
ary It has too many enemies.
David Bottsford: I think there is fully
one-third of the wheat in the county that
is ruined, and another third hurt so that
it will grade down. Wheat cut a few
days before the frost is of course all right.
We are cutting 1,200 acres, and had it
sowed so that we could harvest it as it
got ripe. We are running eight binders,
cutting 120 acres a day. Wheat is now
all ripe enough to cut. It has ripened
since the frost all at once.
Prof. Watling of Ann Arbor, Michigan,
who was here last week to spend a day
with E. P. Wells' family, while en route
to the National park, met with a serious

and in the accident Mr. Watling's leg
was broken at the knee joint. His wife

fessor was brought hack to this city
yesterday, where he is undergoing proper
treatment, and is expected to convalesce
rapidly.

turned from their eastern trip. They
visited several sea side and mountain re
sorts and spent some time at Old Orchard
beach and in the White mountains.
The Sheridan House at Bismarck will
be opened Sept. 1 by Frank Kihm, the
well known restaurant man. The hotel
will be put in first class condition for
ii j'
1
the traveling publio, who will appreciate

The Alert is iu receipt of a letter from
an eastern man, who has been a bank
clerk for twenty years in Brooklyn, and
who asks if there is any opportunity to
obtain clerical work in this state, where
he intends coming partly on account of
health.
E. D. Strong returned today from a
two week's business trip to
eastern cities.
He visited all the leading markets, pur
chased a large stock of goods for the
Strong iV Chuse department stores, aud
reports trade conditions favorable every
where.
Work will be commenced tomorrow on
a new grain warehouse, near Fuller's
burn. Anton Klaus is back of the pro
ject and proposes, it is said, to handle a
share of the grain marketed in this sec
tion. The building is to be 30x48 foet in
dimensions, with lt foot posts. Btnsch
Bros, will do the contract work.
W. W. Bill has entered into the real
estate and loan business with a Chicago
gentleman, and the firm is now Bill &
Bowen, 125 South Clark St., Chicago.
The firm buys and sells and loans on all
kinds of property aud negotiates for the
purchase or exchange of established busi
ness, World's fair privileges, .fee.
So far as can be ascertained, no frost
appeared in this county last night.Mean
time the work of harvesting is bein
pushed, and all grain injured or other
wise will soon be safely cut and ready for
the threshers. Some threshing outfits
have been in the field for a week, while
others are beginning operations every
day.
Rev. Wm. Gibb left this morning for
Chicago. After a visit with friends in
that city, he will make an extended trip
to other eastern points, returning from
his vacation about October 1st. Friends
of the popular clergyman trust he will
greatly enjoy his deserved holiday.
During the absence of Mr. Gibb, the
Presbyterian pulpit will be temporarily
filled by Rev. G. S. Baskerville, principal
of Jamestown college.
F. G. Mulliken and W. P. Heimbach
of Duluth, are enjoying the sport of
hunting for a few days in this vicinity
The gentlemen were greatly surprised to
hear that any grave cause for alarm ex
isted over the recent frost. In Duluth
the general opinion is that no serious
loss has occurred, and mills there are
laboriug under the impression that they
can get all the hard wheat wanted with
out sending out buyers.
E. S. Lawrence: Next Monday, if
nothing unforseen occurs, I will begin
breaking ground for a new brick build
ing on Fifth avenue, south, on the lot
adjoining Churchill & Webster's store.
The building will be 25x80 feet, two
stories high and a substantial structure,
with plate glass front. I expect to hurry
it through to completion and may rent it
for a while at least. The wooden build
ing at present occupying the lot will be
moved off and probably sold.
There seems to be much difference of
opinion existing among local farmers as
to the utility of smudge fires. The Alert
has interviewed a large number of lead
ing citizens upon the subject, and invari
ably meets with uncertain, half doubtful
answers. Some express themselves as
heartily disgusted with the talk of smoke
preventing frosts. It is important, how
ever, that those who have given the ex
periment a fair trial, and found it a suc
cess, should furnish the public with full
details for future guidance.
Casselton Reporter: During a fracas
at the depot last Sunday evening between
a tramp who had been systemically beg
ging on the trains as they stopped at
this station, and an N. P. brakeman, a
traveler who had stepped off the train to
watch the tight, was relieved of a valu
able watch by a member of the gang of
tramps who swarm around the depot on
the arrival of trains. The watch thief
made good his escape and the traveler
continued his journey, a watch poorer for
his curiosity.
C. E. Wolfe of Milnor, was attending
to some legal matters before Judge Rose
today, on behalf of the Cargill Bros., one
of whom accompanied him. Mr. Wolfe
conducts the Sargent County Teller, and
reported everybody prosperous in his
part of the state. He said nearly all the
grain in that connty was cut before the
late frost, and thinks the remainder was
too ripe to be greatly injured. Threshing
is now in progress and enormous yields
are daily recorded. As a result of the
splendid harvest, money has become more
plentiful and farmers are paving their
obligations with greater ease than ever
before.
J. J. Nierling is lesponsible for the
statement that, his tomatoes were benefit
ted by the recent frost. On the face of
it such an assertion looks a little odd,but
the heavy weight deputy auditor explains
that while the frost was severe enough
to nip every vine in his garden, the to
mato plants had grown so large that only
the leaves were injured—the stalks
proper being sheltered by heavy tops.
The frost merely saved Mr. Nierling the
work of pruning, and at the same time
had a tendency to ripen the vegetables.
He wishes his wheat crop had fared as
well—but it didn't. It suffered damage
to the extent of about 25 per cent.
Fargo Republican: The bright star
seen in the eastern horizon about 8
o'clock each evening is Jupiter. His
luster will grow less for a fortnight,when
it will gradually brighten and in October
become brilliant. He is returning to pass
beyond the great central orb, and will
then become an evening star, being east
of the sun. He is a morning star now ac
cording to astronomical classification.
This information is given at the earnest
request of the "Old Folks" for the pur
pose of enlightening our young people
who may have developed an ambition to
familiarize themselves with the heavenly
bodies by continuous and persistent star
gazing these pleasant summer evenings.

It is an old device to protect crops by
smudges in Norway. The frost comes
irly iu the mountains and the farmers
there have for years protected their grain
by smoke, so emigrants state.
The signal service people were 'way off
again iu their predictions of a frost last
night. None appeared in this section of
the state, and the Red river valley re

Rev. G. S. Baskerville returned this
morning from his trip to Medora and
Miles City. He reports fair succcss in
securing pupils for Jamestown college,
and contemplates another visit to Mon
tana points on behalf of the institution.
A party of Northern Pacific civil engi
neers, under the direction of A. M. Burt,
are stopping at the Capital house. Noth
ing definite can be learned as to the ob
ject of their visit, except a statement that
they are engaged in general work along
the line, laying out new sidings, etc.
The Alert has received the premium
list of the Cass county Fair and Agricul
tural society, which will hold its first an
nual exposition at Fargo, Sept. 29 to Oct.
3. inclusive. Liberal sums are offered in
all departments and Stutsman county is
believed to possess some prize-winning
products that ought to be exhibited.
As many people appear to have the im
pression that the city schools will re
open for the fall term next Monday, The
Alert is requested by Prof. Fisher to
again announce that Monday, September
Tth, is the date. Next week will close
the long vacation, which has been much
enjoyed by both teachers and pupils.
A little eleven-year old girl, named
Mollie Gunderson, who has been selling
milk to the passengers at Mandan, was
run over by a switch engine yestei day
and had one foot cut off, and the other
almost severed—both just above the
ankles. The officials have endeavored to
prevent the child attending to the danger
ous occupation, but without avail. She
will be taken to the Sanitarium at Brain
erd for surgical attendance.
Carrington Independent: Mrs. E. D.
Strong of Jamestown, has been in Car
rington for the past week visiting with
numerous friends. The earliest residents
of this town will always have a grateful
remembrance of Mrs. Strong for the
many social events that she formerly
gave for the good of all those socially in
clined. Miss Lena Bellivou
of Jamestown, has been visiting with
Miss Nellie Reagan for the last week.
Mr. Dan Ringer received a dispatch
opening negotiations for the sale of all
the sheep now being driven along the
Northern Pacific. If not sold he irtends
shipping by rail from Glendive, which
will bring the band here much sooner
than first intended. Mr. Ringer bought
the sheep near Boise City, Idaho, and
and has been on the road with them since
May last. He spent several weeks trying
to get a large lot in Wvoming, but the
owners backed out of a trade, after offer
ing to close it. In driving sheep over a
long distance many streams have to be
crossed, and where there are no bridges
the sheep are rounded up by dogs and
forced to enter the water. Once afloat
they swim as well as a horse, especially if
sheared. Not a sheep has been lost in
swimming streams of considerable width.
Col. E. S. Nettleton has returned from
a trip to Montana, as far west as Missoula
He states that many parts, of that coun
try has had grass grown this year for the
first time since 1888. Vegetation is the
same heavy growth there as here. One
field of wheat, that was carefully put in
on sod, will go 40 bushels to the acre.
The prairie fires are feared very much this
year there, and will prove equally
destructive here if allowed to get under
way. The Indians he has talked with ail
predict a cold winter, with plenty of
snow, which can largely be saved if grass
is not burned otF. Col. Nettleton thinks
that smudges may be effective in ward
ing off frost by preventing moisture set
tling on gram. In Colorado they fre
quently have quite hard frosts without
doing any damage, owing to the dryness
of the atmosphere.
Jamestown business houses are to have
an addition to their number in the shape
of a firstclass furniture establishment,
the new firm being Montgomery & Flint.
The members of the firm are Frank
Montgomery, for along time connected
with the dry goods house of Shaw ,t Co.,
and Harry Flint, the eon of ex-Mayor J.
J. Flint, and one of the reliable, popular
young men of the city, who has practic
ally grown up in Jamestown. The new
firm will enter into business with the
best wishes of all for their success. They
have secured one of the best locations
possible for the business, the inside store
room and rear portion of the upper story
of the new Hunt block. With experience
and wide acquaintance the firm is confi
dent of making a "go" of the furniture
and undertaking business. They expect
to be ready for business before Oct. 1.

quaintances while here. She is a niece
of Treasurer Booker.
Two thoroughbred Spanish Merino
bucks have been sent to A. McKeehnie
for the inspection of those who desire to
improve the grade of sheep in this
county. The bucks are American bred,
but of pure strain. They are said to be
very desirable for this country. They
will be exhibited here for the next ten
days and sheep owners are invited to call
and see them. Now is the time to start
out with pure bred sheep. Mr. McKech
nie will also furnish pure bred Shrop
shire bucks, guaranteed, for less money
than any other dealer in the connty.
Jamestown church-goers were treated
to quite an innovation in the way of
divine instruction, last night. A union
service was held at the Opera rink, where
Philip Phillips delivered an interesting
sermon, and illustrated its various topics
with views from his immense collection.
Scriptural quotations were also thrown on
the canvass from time to time, which the
large congregation joined in reading
aloud. Another feature of the meeting
was the singing, Mr. Phillips rendering
two solos, and the audience uniting in
other sacred hymns adapted to the oc
casion.
Hunters and others must be very care
ful or prairie fires will do big damage this
fall. The prairie fire that did such great
damage in Faulk county. South Dakota:
Friday and Saturday last is only a warn
ing of what is to follow in this Btate if
the greatest of care is not taken. The
grass is already capable of being fired. A
cigar stub or a burning gun wad will
ignite grass. The county would lose
thousands of dollars if a fire now got
started before a heavy wind. There are
very few firebreaks made.The necessity of
this does not seem to have struck the
farmer at all. If he has done any thing
in the way of protection it is only
feeble and insufficient way.
A young man claiming to represent
the Minneapolis Journal, worked a racket
on the clergy of Mandan and Bismarck
which secured him some funds. He
offered to write lip their churches and
religious interests and to give the minis
ters a personal send-off, if they would be
come shbscribers to the paper and pay
for three months in advance. He got
considerable money by the scheme, but
is now being searched for and will prob
ably be arrested at the instigation of the
Journal. The same party, it is believed,
remained several days in Jamestown at
the expense of the Gladstone hotel, and
is said to have kept his epidermis well
filled with liquor while here. Whether
he beat anybody out of any money or not
has not been learned.
It is thought that this week will prac
tically finish harvesting operations in
Stutsman county. The wheat where not
fully ripe is showing frost effects mostly
in size of berry and more or less blister
ing of the same.There was a great deal of
late sowed wheat, and a few fields in
every township are still quite green. A
good many pieces have prematurely
ripened and plainly show effects of frost
in white appearance of stalk and heads.
The majority of the grain, however, is in
fair shape, and the straw indicates a very
large yield everywhere. The bundles
stand thick on the ground. The most
I ii it 0
curious froaka are told of the frost. In
some localities it scarcely touched corn,
and of course did little or no damage to
wheat. It was a very "streaked" frost
fall.
The first ten days of shooting among
the chicken hunters shows that the birds
are more numerous than ever before.
Nearly every sport has been out, with or
without dogs, but seldom returns with
out few evidences of the number of
birds that are now in the county. Several
comparatively large "bags" have been
secured, Cashier Webster and Harry
Crossley having led off in this respect,
their party bringing in on separate single
days shooting aB many as (53,
04 and (!8 birds. Messrs. Halstead
& Wood report getting 72 in a day's

O. A. Boynton: I made a trip through
the southern part of Barnes county last
week, and never before saw such crops.
They were but slightly damaged by hail,
there being only a narrow strip of country
where hail seemed to have done damage.
The frost also was not as great as around
here and did little damage. I think
Jamestown was in the centerof the hard

the northern part of the county is cer

The road leading into the city from
the north, near the college, has been re
paired by the city council for the conven
ience of the large number of teams and
vehicles that seem to prefer that exit or
entrance into the city. The road is on
private ground, but has been in use a
long time. Of late, its condition near
the bridge on the college grounds has
been almost impassable. The farmers
hauling wheat from the northeastern
part of the county will appreciate the im
pro^ement.
A barn belonging to P. Y. Fellows was
burned last night, on his farm a few miles
from the city. The building caught fire
from what is supposed to be the explosion
of a lantern which was being used at the
time. A header machine was being taken
into the barn, out of the wind, and was
slightly injured before it could be re
moved again. Two canvasses belonging
to the machine were burned, also 35 tons
of hay and 30 bushels of wheat. The
horses were taken out in safety. There
was a small insurance in the defunct Fi
delity company, of Huron, South Dako
ta.
John Nichols, who is driving about 5,
000 sheep for Lloyd & Hamilton from
Wyoming to this place, arrived at Pierre,
South Dakota, where they crossed the
Missouri, last week, on the pontoon

come through so far in fair shape, al
though about 150 have been lost by
poison weeds. Judge Hamilton was in
Pierre a few days ago. He says Nichols
has a cuff box full of rattlesnake rattles,
taken from snakes that have been killed
on the road. The sheep are being driven
direot to Jamestown, and it is expected
will arrive here in about 20 days.

admitted by them, will injure their
credit.

to sleep well are improved by it.
