THE BONANZA SUITS.

Judge Dangerfeld has put a quie-
tus on that famous bonanza suit, in
stigated as many think by Mr.. Dew
ey, and brought in the name Of an i'm
pecunious newspaper man who prob
ably never owned a share of the bo-
nanza stocks in his life. The suit
was for the recovery of $35, ,O00,O 900,
and by the magnitude of its claims it
attracted some attention, especially at
the East and in Europe There never
was any real merit in the pretensions
of the suitors, and it didn't take Judge
Dangerfeld long to see the true in
wardness At any rate he has rather
promptly sustained the defendants de-
mnrrers to the complaint which has
the effect of kicking the suit out of
court. Right here we will remark
that within the past two or three
months there has been quite diSpo-,
sition shown to withdraw suits that
have been pending against the bonan-
"a companies Whether this is be-
cause their instigators see that moth
ing can be got out of the men who.
control those companies, and there
fore intend no longer to pay legal ex-
penses, or whether it is that the cream
Of the bonanza being gone, there is no
use fighting over the skinned milk,
we know not, but the fact remains
that the suits are being withdrawn or
dismissed one after the other. This is
the correct thing TO do, Messeurs.
Bulldozing bonanzas is not just the
right way to go about making money,
and we hope with the failure of that
kind of business with the old bonan-
"a, no similar raids will be contempla-
ted on the new. Let the men who
have the courage to pay the cost Of
cropping in the dali for these ore bod
les, enjoy the profits Of success in
peace. Ae have heard rumors that
certain outlying claims are already
nosng about for points upon which to
bring suits with at least show of de-
cency, in the hope of worrying some,
thing out of somebody. We hope it
isn't true-at least if it is true we
hope the purpose will be abandoned.

Has Keene a Hand in it!

The New York Indicator tells this:
1t is rumored in San Francisco that
soon after it became known that good
developments were being made in ST.
ezra, the bonanza people determined
to obtain possession of it. At their
first move they notified Mr.. Skae, the
President of the Sierra, that his ac-
count in the Nevada Bank was large
" overdrawn, and that he must make
it good. They expected that this
would compel him to throw his stock
upon the market, and that they could
buy it up at low rate and thus cap

latter, in company with another large
operator, Mr.. Stenhart, is now on his
way home from Europe; 1T is said
their actions guided the late move
ments in Sierra Nevada, and that
they, in connection with James Keene
and others, "have formed "a comblna-
ton to build another power on tho

Food Supply Of Great Britain and
France.

Food Supply Of Great Britain and
France.
New York Evening Post
The agricultural returns for Great
Britain show small increase in wheat and
barley, and decrease in oats. The acre.
age of wheat has increased 10000. Es-
timating Ireland at slight increase, the
total acreage Of Hheat in the United
Kingdom is 100000. The new crop is
fully up to the average and better than
for some years. 1t will yield II 500, 900
quarters, leaving 100000 quarters to be
drawn from abroad. The French wheat
crop is believed to be below the average,
and the French will be buyers instead of
sellers. The present prices will probably
be maintained, or perhaps be slightly IN
creased, but there will be no scarcity.
The potato crop will be about the same
as last gear. Young cattle have increased
4O,5O0, and lambs, 100000.

Northern Pacific Of a very large proper

We failed to write you last week as
there was very little of Importance and
we were also very busy.
We-haVe been having some splendid
weather, but since Sunday it has been
rather cold but pleasant, as mosquitoes
cannot get around, and you can frequently
see some person who has so accustomed
himself 10 brushing them off, fighting
some poor imaginary mosquito. It is
pleasant to get into bed and not hear a
chorus of them singing you to sleep.

came large stock Of general merchandise,

week arranging in his new store building,

At. Paul and Minneapolis Fairs.

lots of things, and could have received

Handsome stock was to be seen at each
Of the fairs; that at Minneapolis being
the best display. The straw-burning
steam engine was in operation at the St..
Paul faiv, and the Hamilton hay. y.stove at
the Minneapolis fair; both Of these are
of peculiar interest to Dakotians, and we
believe both will be of vital importance
to this section.
The St. Paul Harvester Works display.
ed both twine and wire self.binders,
which did their work in good shape. The
Minneapolis er-proofed paper self.
binder was on exhibition, but we would
not like to tie to it if we had many acres
of wheat to cut and tiej up in bundles.
The New Champion mower appeared to
be just the thing, built upon new prin.
ciple, and we believe merits the favorable
report made of it at the Paris Exhibition.
The Saltwater Excelsior thresher was in
favor with many of the farmers attendant
at the fairs.
Handsome ploughs of different makes,
displayed themselves in nickel plate and
extra polish; but as no ploughing match
was in operation, no fair verdict could be
rendered by the passer by. 49,.
At both fairs the sporting element was
in the ascendency. Race horses won the
big purses, while a magnificent Percheron
druught stallion seemed to have but few
admirers. The cuncert of ours of high
degree, on exhibition by the Kennel Club,
at the St. Paul fair, was enough to drive
a nervous person wild. .@
