1t is true the blood OF the Son of God

those committed by men, yet ye men
can commit sins which it can never re-

it is in ous day; and. though the prin-

THE CHOPS.
Favorable Reports From Minnie
sofa and Dakota.

ST. PAUL, August THE wheat
crop throughout Minnesota is nearly
ready for harvest. Cutting in South
ern Minnesota will generally begin
this week, and in the northern coun-
ties and in Dakota next week. The
weather for the past week has been
fayorable-cool, clear and dry-until
within the last two days, which have
been extremely warm. Yesterday was
the hottest of the season SO far. 1t is
feared that the hot weather following
the wet weather of week ago, if the
moisture still remains in the soil, may
causerust and blightin some backward
fields, where grain is not yet out of
milky stage. 1t is believed, however
that most of the crop
is beyond the reach of injury
of this sort Up to Saturday reports
from all parts the State were favor.
able, There are reports of local
damage by rust, blight and chiuch
bugs in several Of the large wheat
growing counties of Southern Mime
sofa, and in some low grades Of Red
river valley, where there has been too
much rain, but there is no general
injury to the crop over wide areas
Estimates of the yield per acre sown is
from ten to eighteen bushels in the
southern counties, and from twelve to
fifteen in the Rorthern counties, and in
Dakota the estimated general average
is:about fifteen bushels, with 2, 400, 900
acres reported by the Commissioner Of
Statistics, will give an average crop Of
about IS, 100000 bushels. The crop Of
N. Dakota is estimated at 100000
bushels, or nearly double that of last
year. This ia kes into account large
amount of new wheat land brought
under the plow in the northern part Of
the Red River valley and on tho James
river and Missouri slope.
The barley harvest, now in grogress
in southern Mime ota, will generally
begin in the northern counties this
week. The crop is turning out well,
and largely increased yield is expect.

Corn is gaining rapidly, under the
influence Of warm weather, and prom.

FERDINAND DE LESSEPS,
The Man Who Made the SueS
Canal,

At the present time Nj. De Lesseps
is in Egypt, anxiOusly guarding the
Interests OF the Suez canal. He is un.
derstoot to have engaged the promise
of Arab Pasha that he will not be a
party to its DANCE or destruction, and
has published, on behalf of the SueE
Canal Company, a declaration made
By great number of Bedouin chiefs,
that they will destroy the canal unless
the British retire from the occupation
of Egypt. The strength of this declar.
alton lies in the fact that other ma
tions besides the British have an
interest in the canal. While that Of
the United Kingdom is the greatest,
theil s is not the less real because in.
ferior in magnitude. On the other
hand, England's defense Of the canal
against the Redopins would be a
service rendered to. all the leading
commercial countries, and it may be
doubted whether the canal is really
in danger Of destruction with such a
force at hand, as that representing
several nations interested in its safety,
now in Egypt and In Egyptian waters,
NJ. de Lesseps' anxiety for the safety
of the canal, the greatest work of his
life, is natural, but it may be ques
toned whether his essentially un
friendly attitude towards England is
the right one to take in order to in
sure it.
Ferdinand de Lesseps was born at
Versailles in 1905, the son of Jean
Baptiste Barthelemi, Baron de Les
SepS. When twenty years old be was
appointed attache to the French Con
sqlate in Lisbon. he was afterward
engaged In the Commercial Depart
