Ktoh Teltow (told, VoiMI MM*soorl River—A St. Faut on HinoonpoUs—l«|ion of Honor Mooting— Oilier M«wi About the Northwest- fka Wheat Crop Kioewli Expectations The Minneapolis Market Record's tele grams from various points), covering tho entire northwest, show a yield of wheat much above expectations. Of the whole not one reported a single unfavorable con dition. At Huron, 8. D., where three to eight bushels was predicted, thrashing shows a yield of from twelve to fourteen busho's, and in Grand Forks coun'y wheat is yiel ing, where thrashed, an average of twenty bushels, and that is claimed for an average of the county. Bismarck, James town and Fargo in North Dakota, also say the yield is above expectations. Placer Mine* !u tho Upper Missouri. The dry season in the region of Helena, Mont., is benefiting the people of Town Mttd, where the Missouri river is crossed by the Northern Pacifio railroad. The river la BO low at that point that a large area of the river bed is exposed. Town send people recently began ground sluic ing for placer gold on the exposed por tions of the river bed and have struck it rioh. The first experiment yielded $7 to $10 a day to a man. It has long been known that gold deposits were plentiful in the upper Missouri, but the.v could not be worked profitably unless during low water pf.nods. The Missouri will probably soon be lined with pold miners for fifty miles each way from Helena. The Laugh is on Miunoap' Us. St. Paul is one broad grin over the dis «oy«ry by an evening paper that the Min neapolis directory is padded with names of dogs A reporter found the following, on page 225 of the Minneapolis directory just issued: "Carl Baxter, colored, watchman, Crescent club." Having been given a tip at something was wrong about this entry the reporter called at the Crescent rlub and accosted W. H. Brxter, steward of the olnb, whose name appears just below that of "Carl Baxter," with the request to be in tro uced to the latter, "certainly," said Mr. Baxter, with a smile, an 1 with u low whistle called up a splendid brown dog. "There, my boy," he said, "is Mr. Carl Baxter. I have had that dog six years, and he is brighter than half the men iu this city. He is a treasure, and I have had his name put in the directory. He is entered as "Carl Baxter, colored, watchman.' He is co ored, all right, a bright biown, and if he can not watch I don't know who can." It is said that several other dogs were given places in the directory, thus Lelping to bring the total population tip to 232, 000. Graud Annual Council Legion o. Honor.

At the session of the Minnesota legisla ture last winter one of tie most important measures was the celebrated meat inspec tion law, providing for the inspection of cattle on the hoof before slaughter, which was thought to be a good way to help farmers in the state who were in the habit of raising and slaughtering cattle within the borders of the state. It was also a blow to Armour's business in Chicago. A. F. Christian, local manager for Armour at Dnluth, acting under orders from the head office at Chicago, began selling Chicago dressed meat there. He was at once ar rested and fined $50. He refused to pay the fine, and when the case came up in the district court on a habeas corpus, both Judges Stearns and Ensign, owing to the interest and importance of the decesion, were present. After hearing an extended argument, the court held that the law was plainly unconstitutional, infringing both on the rights of inter-state commerce and of trade, and ordered tha release of Chris tian. Willi Western Justice. ISM Lash man, a saloon keeper at Bos lyn, Wyo., shot Thomas F. Thomas. Lashman asked Thomas tor $2 that was owing him. The victim said he did not haye it. Then Lashman fired. At 7:30 o'clock next morning an angry crowd took Lashman from jail and lynchel him, hanging him to a beam in the engine house, near the railroad track. Lashman bore a bad reputation. He had threatened the lives of other men. Thomas is not ex pected to live. The Sioux Lands That Mow Become Public. The great Sioux reservation lies between 43 deg. 30 min. and 45 deg. 10 min., bounded by the Mi souri river on the east and extending to the South Dakota line on the west, and south embracing all west of the Missiouri river and south bf the Cannon Ball river, except the Black Hills territory, ceded in 1876. Of this great body of land the Indians hare by reccn1 treaty consented to cede to the government nearly one-half, or a cording to the best computations, about nine million aires of land. Th» opening of tbis vast terri torg to settlement will undoubtedly oause an extensive emigration, the home seekers from all parts of the east coming to make a home and acquire a quarter-section of land. Under the terms of the treaty by which the Indians cede this land, all settlers coming into the ter ritory and filiug upon the land, within three years of the proclamation which de clares this land open for settlement, must pay for it at the rate of $1.25 per acre, and no one will be allowed to file npon more than 160 acres. The portion of the reser vation ceded lies to the south of the Chey enne river and north of the White river, and a narrow strip of land, lying to the north of the Belle Fourche in the territory ended by the treaty of 1876. Within this territory are fouad a variety of soil*, •f^^T :.. :vvv -V-. ,r -,,•*• .••*-•,*• -v», ." /.. v... ,^. ,'L ,,.:« .'.

The land will be most easily accessible from the points where the railroads touch the Missouri river, and from far-out sections along the Elkhorn Valley railroad in the Black Hills. The nearest approaches to the reservation by rail are at chamberlain and Pierre in Dakota. MATTERS IN NEBRASKA. Not by Two* or Threo»« Bat by Fooff. There was born the other day to Mr. and Mrs.-Victor Charles Ozier, living north of O'Neill, four healthy babes—three girls and one boy, weighi1 five pounds each. Ihis is Ozier's seventh wife and these make eleven children by this wife. The babes are doing finely. A Bart Waterspout Flood at Ohadron. A cloudburst occurred on ChaJron oreekr, eight miles south of Chadron, a few even ings since. It completely submerged the valley, the water rolling down about twenty feet high. One life was lost, a son of George Goodenough. about seven years old. Himself and man named Benham were going home when tue water struck them, and they immediately left the team aud attempted to climb trees. Benham saved himself but tho bov was washed away. All tne bridges on Chadron creek in the vicinity of the cloudburst are a total wreck. A number of cattle and horses were lost. Much damage was done to crops, and it will be a har blow to farm ers. The dam on Chadron creek at the e gine house of the water works is washed out. The engine house was submerged, but no serious damage was done to the machinery. The body of the boy was fonud on the bank imbedded in the sand ami hail. He was frozen stiff. Reports from the table lind were to the effect that the hail was six to eight inches deep and very large. A Question of Jurisdiction. The case of Charles B. Baily vs. the state of Nebraska, on error from the dis trict court of Saline county, raises a ques tion that has not been passed upon by the supreme court, and it is of no little inter est. It is as to whether a justice of the peace has the jurisdiction to try and ren der judgement in a case where the offense charged is assault and battery. In this case the attorneys for Baily contend that a justice has no jurisdiction, and when complaint is made for assault and battery a prelimininarv examination only can be had before the justice. The question raised is a mooted one among lawyers, and opinions vary widely on the proposition. It is understood that the attorney general thinks that the court will sustain the de fendant and error, and that the opinion of the ower urt will be affirms I. The case will be tried at the coming session of the supreme court at Lincoln. Congressman Laird Is Dead. Congressman James Laird died at his home in Hastings on the 17th. Since his arrival from Atlantic City last June he has remained close at home, bnt has transacts ed a large amount of public business. He daily received delegations of from ten to twenty politicians from different parts of the district. Tho pressure brought upon him by the clamorous place hunters has been some'hing enormous, and a well fiian would have found the burden of official cares almost too heavy to bear. With a zeal that would have been com mendable had it been backed by health, Mr. Laird has listened to every appeal and carefully examined every petition. In ad dition to his other troubles Mr. Laird has been suffering from hemorrhage. On Wed nesday. at his own request, an operation was perfoenied npon him by Drs. Van Sickle and Cassell. He was pluced under the influence of anesthetics aud the oi""» tion was evi:entl' Ul1 On manfully "performed. Thursday morning the patient waB taken with a chill and later in the day a violent fever set in. From unconscious ness, which began on Friday, he never rallied. PERTAINING TO IOWA. Trying tlio Elixir of Life. The Brown-Sequard elixir was tried at Council Bluffs the other day. The patient was a man 72 years old and very infirm. The experiment was conducted by Dr. F T. Seybert. Five hours after the fluid was injeeted no marked effect had been noted. The patient experienced considerable ex hiliration, but that was all. Gouimnndable Home Pride. C. W. Williams at Independence has received an offer of $5,000 from the Hart forJ, Conn., Driving association, the richest association in the United States, for Axteii to give an exhibition mile. As their races occur tLe same time as the Bnchanan county fair, Mr. Williams has refused. This is the only county fair at which Axtell trots. Iowa's Annwd Wealth.

AROUND THE TERRITORY. A Moist Spell Coming. Prof. Warren Uphani, member of the TJniteJ StateB geological survey corps, who has been on duty in Dakota for the past for years, states positively that farm ers and all others can pluck up their cour age, as the end of the dry period is at hand and the next change will soon bring the uniformly wet season the "old-timers" talk about and a few of the tenderfeet know something of. From careful scientific and geological observations Mr. Upham is confident^ that this period of change from maximum to minimum moisture, an i from the least moisture to the most again, occurs over an average range of ten or twelve years. The dry seasons began for Dakota in 188H, and the extent of them has, according to ths authority, now been reached. His observations of the stage of water in the lakes of North Dakota, and comparison thereof with the records which have been kept, and with the recollections of Indians aud trappers lead him to stake his professional reputation upon the pre diction that a protracted season of plenty of moisture and good crops is soon to be here. One of the Men Who la Pleased. One of the happiest men in the Sioux country, says a correspondent, is C. P. Jordan, Indian post trader at Rosebud agency. Jordan has a good deal of influ ence among the Sioux, and the commis sion was greatly indebted to him while at Kosebud agency. Jordan is a white man, but his wife is a full blooded Sioux and a niece of Bed Cloud, the cunning old chief of the Pine Bidge Ipdians. There is a romantic story in connection with the mar riage. Jordan comes from an excellent family. He haa two brothers distin gniited is amy oirole*. Bit pewit* tl 1 live in Chicago *n 1 move in the best circles of the Garden city C. P. Jordan went to Dakota vL«n a yoiing man and accepted a government position. It »as but a few months later that he met his wife. She was then a young girl. Jor.iau rescued her from drowning and they soon became lovers. The girl was by birth a princoss of the Hioux nation, ari the wedding was cele brated with great eclat. Jorday is still a young man but be is quite wealthy. He owns a large cattle ranch near Rosebud aud has hundreds of acros of land. He accompanied Red Cloud upon his trp to Washington last spring and acted as in terpreter in dealing witli the government officials. The old chief and his nephew by marriage were received with mnch favor upon their eastern trip. Printing the South Dakota Constitution. The contract for printing 15j,000 copies of the constitution of 1889, in newspaper supplement form, has been awarded to the Huron Huronite, its bid being the lowest. How Irrigation Works. A Howard paper says: Irrigation ean be made a success in Miner county, as shown by the following: About the mid dle of June J. W. Briggs, after his wheat was nearly dried up, turned upon a five acre field artesian water. The effect was quickly seen and has continued. 'I he wheat not thus treated was not cut, while t. e irrigated field will average twenty-five bushelB to the acre. It is thought that had the crop been watered earlier the yield would have been forty or fittv bushels per acre. —No Fleih, the Indian who was ten first to sign the treaty when the Sioux commission visited Pine Ridge agency dieJ a tew days ago. His last request to the agent was that his body should be wrapped and buried in the American flag. —The day is coming, says an enthusi astic Dakota paper, when every township in South Dakota will have running streams flowing through every quarter section. It will then become the garden spot of the west. It will be the Eden of the world. —Because of short straw wheat in vari ous sections is cut very low, thus gather ing up a large amount of foul seeds: and this is given as a reason by buyers why certain grades are selling at suoh low figures. —The commanding officer at Fort Meade closed up the post trader's store and club room there for keeping open after 9 o'clock at night after Laving been notified to close up everything at that Hour. MINNESOTA MENTIONS. Leech Lake Indiana Belligerent. The first word received from the Indian commission at the Leech Lake reservation reached Brainard through a half-breed. He says the villagers on that reservation are iu a deadly quarrel over the presence of the commission, and about equally di vided as between those who are willing to sign and those opposed. Ihe latter are threatening death to the first person who does sign. As a consequence no one has vet signed, and the commissioners have devoted their whole efforts so far to pre venting a conflict. The opponents are, the rumor states, fully armed witn Win chester rifles, and have gone so far as to threaten all the whites on the reserve. 'J he commissioners are safely lodged at the ranch. It is reported that Young Buck, a relative of Chief Flatmouth, was shot for favoring signing. Some Figures 011 Twine Making. As a possible solution of the problem of utilizing couvict labor to the best advan tage the last Minnesota legislature ap pointed a commiteee to investigate as to the practicability of introducing the man ufacture of binding twine into the Still water prison. If this could be success fully eccomplished all the twine required by agricultural interests in the state could be supplied at a mo.lerate cost aud thus emancipate the farmers from the clutches of the twine combinations and trusts. The committee, however,' has reported adverse ly to the proposal. The reasons on which the report is founded are that the cost of the plant and the material for one year sufficient to keep seventy-five men em ployed would amount to ¥1,245,000. It is pointed out that the cost of binding twine to the manufacturer is 11 to 15 cents per pound of which not more than two or three cents is for labor an I power, the balance being consumed by the OMt of material. Collom's Case. The case of Frank Collom, the ytmng Minneapolis attorney who is charged with the forgeries of a large amount of paper, was called for preliminary hearing in the municipal court. Examination was waived and the case noV goes to the grand jury. The bail was reduced from $110,000 to $51,000, but has not yet been furnished. Collom had friends equal to $51,00J surety, but additional complaints led to another increase of bail. He will have to secure surety for $100,000. Seme interesting statistics in refer ence to diphtheria in Minnesota have just been compiled by Secretary Hewitt, of the state board of health. The record of deaths from that disease by vears Mince 1872 is as follows: 1872, 41 1873, 23G 1875,220 1876. 379 1877,370 1878,658 1879, 951 1881,1,397 1882,1,602 1881, 1,364 1884,1,138 1885,1,138 1887,788 1888,834. The average of the last two years to the total deaths is 6.87 per cent. —At St. James harvesting is over, stack ing nearly completed and thrashing commenced. Wheat is excellent in qual ity, grading No. 1 and averaging 25 bushels. Oats yield 50 to 60 bushels. Flax exceeds expectations corn splendid and maturing fast, promising an unprecedented average yield. Farmers are jubilant. —A 9-year-old son of Joseph Deidnch, of Palmer, Sherburne county, was playing with a button after the manner of a buzz saw when the string broke and the button entered one of his eves, cutting it com pletely ou-. The physicians say he will probably lose the other eye also. —One thousand dollars' worth of grain in the Btack belonging to a farmer named Thomason, living south of Saulk Center a couple of miles, was destroyed by lire. The fire caught from a match which had been liropped and was ignited by being stepped upon. —In attempting to arrest two tramps at Mankato, a constable named Robel was shot, the ball striking him in the left side, passed throng his body and was cut out near the back. The wound will not prove fa!al, although it is dangerous. The tramps escaped. —The June statement of deaths in Min nesota has just been issued from the office of the secretary of the state board of health.

For some tlrae passed an old negro named Thomas Jack son has been proclaiming himself as Daniel the prophet and doing all kinds of singular things. The darkifs in this section are ig norant and superstitious, and Jackson's unaccountable action* and the great powers which he claimed to have besn in vested with awed the simple-mirfded negroes, and every day large numbers were added to his followers Saturday last he persuaded three young negro men that they were representatives of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the three children of faith who eniered the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar of old. He proclaimed that the Schloss furnace, where iron is melted, was the furnace of Nebuchadnezzar and that they could enter it and pass through without the smell of fire. The three negroes—Dan Williams, Peter Burtramp and Bill Verdier—calling themselves the three children of Isreal, •inder tha influence of their new prophet, deliberately entered the gate of the cupola of the furnace, and rushed headlong before they could be stopped into the white heat of the melting iron. When they failed to come out Jackson, the prophet, proclaimed that he saw them rising in the air with the smoke of the furnace, attended by angels, and said that they would revisit the earth again rext Sunday. The negroes propose to meet at church next Sunday and will continue in prayer all day, Tobias Jackson leading, and will await the descent of the thr*e children of Israel. The relatives of the negroes do not seem at all disturbed. FRANCIS JOSEPH'S VISIT. Arrival of the Austrian Emperor In tha German Capital. Berlin dispatch: The Emperor of Austria arrived in this city Monday. He was met at the station by Emperor William, Prince Henry, Prince Bismarck, Count Herbert Bismarck, and Gens. Von Moltke and Blunienthal. The meeting be tween the two Kmperors was most cordial. After Francis Joseph and Prince Henry had exchanged salutations the imperial visitor shook hands with Prince Bis marck. The party took carriages and drove to the castle by way of Thiergarten and Unter den Linden. Troops were stationed along the route from the station to the castle. The houses were decorated with flags and bunting. Immense crowds assembled along the route and cheered the Emperors as they passed. Salutes were fired by the artillery in honor of the Emperor of Austria. Upon arriv ing at the palace the Austrian Emperor was welcomed by the Empress Augusta and ex-Empress Frederick. The Reichsanzeiger, in an especially prominent article, welcomed Emperor Francis Joseph on behalf of the German people as a friend and ally of Emperor William. All the evening papers have similar articles. The North German Ga zette says the visit of the Austrian Em peror will further insure the peace of Europe. Well informed persons at St Peter« burg do not attach any importance to the meeting between Emperor William and Emperor Francis Jo seph. It is held that the relations between Germany and Austria do not require strengthening and that the Austrian Emperor's visit is merely an act of courtesy. THE AMERICAN CONGRESS.

A very rich business man of fioston told an interviewer the other day how In began his bumnestt life on oue dol lara week, and how he advanced from that point to hia present jKisition by being temperate, industrious and hon est. lie ended by ikying: "Any young niaO ean do aa well as I have done, if he only will." Young men know that this is not true. Tens of thousands of young men during the forty years of that mer chant's successful eareer, have been as virtuous as lie, without making much headway in business. Thev have been punctual, diligent, faithful, and well skilled in their vocation but there they are, about where tHfey were years ago, working hard for moderate com pensation, and seeing no prospect of much change. It is not possible for many men to found great stores and make great for tunes in them, for the simple season that the largest city does not furnish business for many such. These prizes fall to the lot of the few individuals in each trade who combine in themselves great talent for business with great tenacity of "purpose. They passion ately want to succeed, and they know how. If our merchant had said that many young men could do much better than he had done, he would have come nearer the truth. In most of our great and famous places of business there are clerks who have done a great deal better than their employers. We saw one the other day, a young man aged 29, salary $650 a year, whose father died ten years ago, leaving a wife and four chil dren with little provision. This clerk was the eldest boy he accepted the sacred duty which devolved upon liim with cheerful courage. He has carried it bravely along ever since, and has won in it a really brilliant success— happy himself, and a cause of happi ness to those dearest to him. There are men whose natural voca tion it is to control millions of, dollars, and own a tedious superfluity of other things. Happily, most of us are spared this great trouble, and have a chance to discover how little is required for a truly successful and joyous existence. Investigating a Mystery. "A lady whom I know well came to the store yesterday and said she wanted to leave a package with me for an hour or two while she did some shopping. It was a longish, shallow pasteloard lox. 'What's in it?'I asked. 'Never you wind what,' she said. 'May I look at it said I. 'No you can't,' she said. 'It's something that single men have no business to see.' Of course this made me still more curious, and I beg ged until she finally said: 'Well, go ahead, but it'# the last time you'll ever see. it. And out she went. I untied the strings, opened the box, and pulled out the mystery. It was a pair of fine silk stockings. The foot and ankle were black, but at the calf began a broad band of yellow that reached to the top, and on this band was embroid ered a single word—'chestnuts.'"— Memphis Avalanche.
