WABDWBX.Ii THOWSOI. THE CROP OUTLOOK The condition of the crops ia this 2 county and in this locality area common topic. It depends somewhat on the pessimisim or optimism of the individu alas to the opinions expressed, except that it only is the amount of damage that is judged. All agree as to serious 'T damage. The question is the extent, and also all agree much depends con siderably, on the immediate weather to come. There isn't any grain but that is suffering for want of moisture at the present time, and has been suffering for two weeks. Yet in a buggy ride in a circle about three miles around Jbliette on Monday, the condition of the grain wa? remarkably good considering the dry weather. In fact most of it looked good for a fair crop if rain came soon. We hear that about Neche, this side of Cavalier, around Hamilton and north ward fronk-Drayton that the crops are doing well and are far from failure—if the rain will only come soon. In some other parts of the county, particularly out west in the sand country many of the crops are totally gone. The' same '"sort of stories.come from other parts of -North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. Localities which have had it' some stray-showers and have heavy soil are still hoping, while in large areas "'t they are plowing down the grain fields to plant forage crops in the hopes to get some feed for the stock as the hay is worthless. Pembina as far south ad McArthur and west to Neche had a '. nice rain on Monday night. Then farther west there was another rain. Ir Bowesmont also had a shower about the same time while Drayton and St. Thomas went dry. The hot spell appears to have broken and we .are ^li^^lfi^Wing. oiiir regulation North.

His theory being, that if the county seat were removed that he would lose the trade of the Cavalier bunch that some times come to Pembina—and invariably extend their trip to St. Vincent.

LOGAN, Manager. As a near neighbor of Pembina and as one end of his ferry lands at this city, Bro. Deacon thought he was sufficiently interested as to*have some thing to say—and so he said it—kindly putting in about one word for Pembina to two words for Deacon's ferry—und all written in a good-humored and joshing rway. Now, incidentally, we might add, that wo personally know Bro. Deacon to be as strict a teetotaller as is Bro.Faircliild of the Chronicle and dryer than that we know nothing. But the funniest thing of all was that Cavalier has gotten so excited over the county seat war that they apparent ly have'lost all sense of humor. We, doubt if the average Cavalier kid is allowed to laugh out loud these parlous days, and if one was heard to whistle, the city marshal would hustle hiiu off to the local bastilb—and we have it on good authority that Bro. Fairchild's phiz, which was always rather elongat ed, has gone chinwards towards the ground, some three and a quarter inches during the last two months. Hence, the Cavalier editor immediate ly saw visions. He dreamed he saw Brother Deacon's ark come sailing— come sailing—across the raging Bed, voyage after voyage, day after day, loaded to the gunwales, with St. Vin cent money—whiskey money—beer monoy—all kinds of money except honest money, for the purpose of filling the pockets of people over on this side of land and buying votes for Pembina for the county seat. If this were only true, it might help out a lot next fall for the farmers over here who will from present appearances get no other crops. The idea is so absurd, however, that it is hard to get down to sober earnest and say it is nonsense. It ought to be nonsense on its face to any sensible man. it is just a case of ill-humor against good humor. Pembina doesn't expeot to need 915,000 to use in a county seat fight—but what ever money is needed for the legitimate expenses can be raised in Pembina without asking people outside to con tribute. On the other hand every man anywhere in the county who signed the Cavalier petition, practically said by that act that he WBB willing that "the people should vote"—to decide whether he should be compelled to add from 160 to 9150 in taxes to the 915,000 county seat fund of Cavalier. A NEGR0 CHAMPION. The nigger beat the Other fellow. That was all right. Now if it had been possible'that at the same tiine the other brute had beaten the nigger it would have been a double victory for deoency. Perhaps the best thing connected with the prize fighting business is the remark made by very many, that thiB is the last "big fight." It seefms that now in only one state would such an exhibition be permitted and it is believed by. (every body that before another "bout'' ban be arranged even Nevada Will become civilized. No "sport" has detelriora^d in. public estimation during the last fifty years so much as "the manly art of self defence," an4 it iust needed a negro ,"champion" to complete the disgust of tin general a revolve*. .. and athletie exercise h**™uch' to be com mended, but afterall it nore-than often $4 V'w'i wmm i? the man who docs not carry a gun, aliUn make cJiscretion the better part of valor—and is saved much trouble. But pugilism, fighting for money, is very far removed from ordinary athlet ics. While some other gahies and exercises are confessedly dangerous, pugilism is brutality pure and simple and this not only in itself but in almost everything connected with it The sooner professional pugilism is prohibit-j •ed the better for civilization. It has! absolutely nothing commendable. PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS. The county canvassing board met yesterday according to law. The board consists of tho chairman of the county board," Mr. Norton, clerk of court Mr.! Peterson, Auditor Felson, chairman of I the Republican committee W. J. Burke of Bathgate and chairman of the demo cratic committee John O'Keefe of Cava lier. The work was completed yester- day afternoon and the official count will1 be published in detail next week. There is no change in results as an- uge nouneed in this paper last week. In the cases of the only two contests the county treasurer totalled, Gibson 492, Anderson 398. For representative 2nd district, Geiger 291, Paxrnan 204. The total vote of the democrats approximat ed 400 which gives them considerable over the necessary 30 per cent with which to get their candidates on the ballot In the state several candidates are still on the anxious seat, and in some cases the actual nominees will not be known until the offic al vote will be counted. It looks as if Taylor had won over Wood, to/ superintendent, but the margin is not great, and the woman vote always make the returns on this office rather unreliable. For secretary of state Norton is probably elected over Henry, but it is possible to change this. For judges of supreme court there seems to be no doubt that Fisk, Burke, Goss and Carmody are nominated, fills worth seems to be next best, and Rourke and Cooley fighting for the sixth place. This leaves the rest without much show, but these figures are liable to change as the returns on these positions are very incomplete. MIDLAND R. R. CAMP.
