Injunction Against Talking.
No one in Omaha has yet been
restrained by injunction from
breathing, but the matter has al
most reached that limit. The
most radical move was the issu
ing of an injunction to restrain a
woman who lived in a flat from
talking so much, as her landlord
claimed it drove his other tenants
away. Possibly we don't talk
too much, but we certainly all
are too active and lacking in re
pose. We need, almost without
exception, golden grain belt beer
to quiet our nerves and tone us
down to slower, more comfort
able living. It is pure and de
licious and should be in every
home. Order of your nearest
dealer or be supplied by John
Essler, Bemidji.
Climbing Mountains.
Is a fascinating and invigor
ating pastime. It developes not
the body only, but the mind. The
Alpine Peaks of Switzerland have
their counterpart in our own
country, in the Sierras, the Cas
cades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of
the United States is Mt. Ranier
in Washington, more than 15,500
feet high. This magnificent
mountain has 15 or more giant
glaciers creeping down its sides
and discharging their glacial de
tritus into the Columbia river or
Puget Sound.
A climb to the summit of this
is a mountaineering feat worthy
of any mountaineer. For 25centf
Chas. S. Pee, Gen'l Passenger

CROOKSTON, MINNESOTA
Want Column RO TH E INDIAN S CROP S LOO GOOD
Chicago, Aug. 18. A Washington
dispatch to the Daily News says:
Disclosures made through special
agents who have gone to the Indian
territory and Oklahoma indicate that
the scandals in official life there will
be more extensive in proportion to the
number of persons involved than those
in the postofnee department.
Special reports now on file indicate
that the leading officials'of the interior
department, as well as those of the
department of justice, have become in
terested in various companies for the
purpose of buying Indian lands at
ridiculously low figures and selling
them at their actual values. Mem
bers of the Dawes commission are said
to be implicated in the alleged .efforts
To Fleece the Indians,
as also are several district attorneys
of the department of justice. The sen
sational feature about it all is that the
officials of the interior department and
the department of- justice have for
years devoted themselves to devising
some scheme which would protect the
Indians when their land was finally
allotted.
In several instances the very men
who are now implicated in the effort
to fleece the Indians came to Washing
ton to consult with the heads of do
partments here in devising a plan for
the Indians' protection. The value of
the land in question will be several
hundred million dollars.
Mr. Brosius, a special agent of the
interior department, has submitted a
report to Secretary Hitchcock, review
ing in an exhaustive way the organiza
tion of the various "trust" companies
formed to gobble the Indian lands and
mentions the names of all
United States Officials
who have stock in them. Guy P. Cobb,
who was internal revenue inspector
for Indian Territory, is the largest
stockholder in the Tribal Development
Company of Tishmingo. In this same
company is E. Pliny Soper. United
States district attorney for the North
ern district of the Indian Territory.
Soper is the vice president of the com
pany.
Gov. Moseley qf the Chickasaw na
tion is a stockholder of an important
company, and Tarns Bixby of the
Dawes commission is the vice presi
dent and leading stockholder In the
Muscogee Title and Trust company,
which does a large land business.
J. George Wright, an Indian in
spector who has complete charge of
the Indian bureau's affairs for the ter
ritory, is a member of another trust
company.
Bixby Makes Denial.
Red Wing. Minn., Aug. 18"I nave
never bought an acre of Indian lands."
says Tams Bixby specifically, "and I
do not intend to: neither have the
companies in which I am interested.
They had not done it up to the I
left, so far as 1 know an 1 i i
ty near knowing what they have
done."
Mr. Bixby is spending a fortnight at
his home here, and he smiled serenely
at the disclosures telegraphed from
Washington. He is a director of the
Muskogee Title and Trust company
and of the First National bank. The
companies, he says, do a straight
banking and loan business. They do
stand ready to make loans on these
lands when they are purchased, and
that is oqe of the purposes for which
they were organized

CAPTURED STRAY BALLOON.
Unromatic Ending of an Aeronaut's
Voyage Over Paris.
Paris, Aug. 18.A young aeronaut,
accompanied by his sister, started
from Sevres in a balloon to make a
night trip over Paris. A thunder storm
so saturated the envelope that the
balloon floated low when it reached
Paris. A pedestrian on Rue de Rlvola
seized a drag rope, towed the balloon
to the place Vendome and the aero
nauts safely descended beside the
famous column.

DIAN LANDS. TLE OFF.
St. Paul, Aug. 18.Despite the many
ml varying estimates of this year's
cr given by the experts, the con
census seems to be that the wheat
crop will be an average one. and that
as far as the Western States are con
cerned other crops, with the exception
of the corn crop, will come up to last
year's mark.
Late in Jul&H. Jones of Minne
apolis estimated the wheat crop of tne
Northwestern states at 147,300,000
bushels Since that estimate was an
nounced other experts have gone over
the country and they figure that the
crop v, ill be oonsideinhly in oxeess o! i
this. For instance. Col. G. D. Rogers.
secretary of the .Minneapolis ehambei
of commerce, is quoted as slating ifi il
the crop will
Reach 200,000,000 Bushels.
The Duluth Commercial Record
figures that the crop will be in the
neighborhood of 175,360 000 bushels.
On top of these estimates comes the
report from the party of Twin City
men who arc interest, in the crop,
am! who but recently relumed from an'
extensive trip of inspection-. They de
clare that the wheat 'crop will be a
heavy one. One. man staled that the
yield in some parts of North DakOla
will be as heavy this year as it was in
1895, which was a banner year.
While many of the lb Ids were ex
tremely backward during the last two
weeks in July, when Mr. Jones made
his trip, the conditions have been ex
tremely favorable since then, and
rapI'd strides are reported from many
sections. Few of the party who re
turned Saturday cared to place ai*y
Definite Estimate
on the wheat crop, although one man
stated that he believed the crop in
North Dakota would run as high as
55,000,000 bushels. This, however, in
cludes the macaroni wheat, which Mr.
Jones did not take Into consideration
in making his estimate, Mr. Jones'
estimate is based upon an acreage of
12,000,000 acres. The government es
timate of the acreage in the three
states is 13,206,000.
Reports for the past week have
been decidedly favorable. Grain and
elevalor men at points in the three
states all report the climate conditions
as good and state there is no reason
to expect a short crop.
There is, however, a slight shrink
age in the corn crop. Throughout the
Mississippi and Missouri valleys the
crops are
Slightly Backward,
but the conditions are reported good
and average crops are expected.
The oats crop will probably be be
tween 5 and 10 per cent shorter than
last year. Kansas. Nebraska and
South Dakota all report slight in
creases, ranging from 5 per cent to
16 per cent. In Minnesota, Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky and North
Dakota, however, decreases of from 4
per cent, to 30 per cent arc eported.
This will reduce the crop to a con
siderable extent.
The rye and barley" crops are said
to be better in Kansas and South Da
kota but the totals for nl! the states
show a slight average decrease.
Reports from the potato crop in this
section are encouraging, although no
estimates are available.
