The Sand HUI Crane,

Sam Treadwell, formerly of the Buxton
Blade, but now of the DEVILS Lake Pioneer
Press, has evidently been annoyed by the
sand hill cranes which exist in that region,
Just imagine him, for a moment, entering
his Office and finding that one of those
birds had been there before him, eating
up the paste, pot and all, picked over all
the choice clippings which had been the
product of a weeks work among the ex-
changes, and the devil voraciously calling
for copy. With his hair standing erect.
his ears tanning the monster mosquitoes
off his shoulders, and his eyes blazing with
anger, like red hot Goals, he rolls up his
sleeves and dashes off the following:
Did you ever see a sand-hill crane?
Dickerson has adopted two, and is trying
to bring them up in the way they should
go, but we are afraid he has undertaken a.
hopeless task. He had better give it up.
He is beginning to look careworn and
weary of the world. They are curious birds
to look at. They resemble billiard ball
supported by wheat straws with a nail claw
attachment. Their necks reach up like
sappling with sign board across it on a
county road. They are dudes Of the first
water, with more than the dudes share of
sand. Sandhill is a good term to describe
them. They have got lots of sand; they
will tackle an old horseshoe or top of a
beer bottle with perfect nonchalance. Old
saws and gimlets. But their appetite whets,
like the world famous bark of Peru, which
once was their food, in the wild neighbor
hood where ranges the fierce cockatoo.
They are serious source of ANNOYANCE to
the neighborhood. They got in Benefits
drug store and depleted his cork drawer.
Having thus secured the dead wood,' they
tackled nail key at Nesh's, and swallowed
a screwdriver and gimlet. Dick had
thought of cropping their wings, but the
screwdriver and gimlet did the work. On
going to feed them the other morning on
iron filings and pounded grindstones, he
found them pinioned to the side of the box;
the gimlet and screwdriver had worked out
through the side and bored into the planks.

ter thought he was the man, and he says
that he has no doubt that the selection was
satisfactory to Garfield; ''they were old
friends and Garfield knew his ability and
genius for work. Taken as a
whole, Gov. Fosters statement is
strikingly corroberative of Dorsey's mar
rative. Indeed the friends of the Repub-
lican party who are undertaking to dis
credit the material facts of that chapter of
history, instead of producing the effect
they aim at, are giving it strength and
Importance, and forcing upon the public
the belief that the truth has been told, and
inside facts brought out that are not to be
contradicted. Denunciatory denials, by
wholesale, are confession that the truth
is very unpalatable. Much as any may
wish to the contrary, however much any
may feel sense of humiliation,
the truth is out. The meth
dds, the bargains, the purchases,
all the doubtful, crafty and INSCRIPTIONS
resorts that were made available for the
election of the Republican ticket are pub
lie history, not to be explained away and
not to be forgotten. 1t would have been
better if the Republican managers, great
and small, had made their battle upon the
platform that honesty is the best policy"
Had that have been the case this unhappy
revelation could not have been possible.
The fame of the dead would have remain
ed unscathed and the living would not
have been covered, as now with the sack
cloth of humiliation

A commemorative monument to be
placed at Fort Keogh has been completed
for some time and is daily expected from
the east through st. Paul en- route to Fort

consist of two parts. The base is five feet

leaving the stone in the same color as it
appears in the ledge. The die is four feet
six inches square at the base and inclines
slightly to within few inches of the top,
where 1t slopes abruptly, terminating in a
point. The entire monument is five
feet six inches IN height. Each side of
the die is highly polished, while the top is
cut work.
On one side of the monument the fol-
lowing inscription is cut: ''To the officers
and soldiers killed, or who died of wounds
received in action in the territory of Mon
tana while clearing the district of the Vel
lowstone of hostile Indians" On the other
three sides are cut the names of thirty
nine officers and privates, with the regi-
ment and company to which each be-
longed, and the place and date of the &C.
ton resulting in their death. The in.
scription and names, embracing over
fourteen hundred letters and characters,
are cut IN the Egyptian style of letter, the
natural gray of the stone in the cut letter
affording fine contrast with the beautiful
reddish tinge of the polished surface. The
monument completed weighs 10000
pounds, and is valued at $1,000. It was
inspected last week by Prof. N. H. Davie.
.. S. A, and T. D. Cook, of Milwaukee,
who are highly pleased with it and pro-
nounce it satisfactory in every respect.
The memorial is commemorative of all
who fell while fighting the Sioux in Mon
tana, and embraces Bear Paw, Big Hole
and other fields, as well as Custer.

Kavanagh's Sale Yesterday.

P. 7. Kavanagh's auction sale of West
Seventh street property yesterday was a
pronounced success in every respect. The
sale was largely attended by representative
business men, and the bidding was most
spirited, and the prices realized were con-
sidered exceedingly good. The two lots

for $6,4OO. The adjoining two lots of the
same dimensions were purchased by Mr..

became the owner of the adjoining two lots
for the sum of $4,000. The same gentle
man purchased the lot in the rear of those
above mentioned, 25xl2O feet, fronting on
Chestnut street, for $1,625. For S1,4OO

lasted SO long and the extreme hot weather
had well nigh made the wheat crop total
failure, and many farmers whose ''all' was

saw nothing but ruin staring them in the
face, for with his wheat field went all the
accumulations of years of hard toll, but all
through the northwest the crop outlook is
now changed: and there is every prospect
that the farmers of Dakota will reap a
bountiful harvest.
The prospect in the eastern states for
wheat Is only fair, as the late spring and
cold, wet weatherIgin early summer was
anything but good for the growing grain,
and the season is now too far advanced for
the grain to recover from the setback, so
that present indications are, taking the
country through, both in America and
Europe, that there will be only medium
supply of wheat, which means good prices
and ready sales.
The colo, vet weather in the corn grow
ing states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Mich
igan and Ohio will shorten the corn crop
to quite an extent, which will have ten
dency to enhance the value of wheat. SO
that all in all there is every indication that
the wheat region of the northwest will
have profitable harvest.

DOkOt0 Whent.

The Grand Forks Herald says: In order
to counterfeit the false and malicious re-
ports that have goneforth concerning the
condition of the wheatcrop in the Red river
valley, James Twamley stepped into his
field yesterday and plucked hap-hazzard
handful which he intends to forward to the
st. Paul and New York papers by express
to-day. The wheat measures from fifty to
ffty-two inches in height, and the heads
are from four to five inches in length. The
prospects are that the yield through the
Red river valley will average twenty five
bushels to the acre. There is a frantic
effort being made to divert emigration to
other points, by INSCRIPTIONS persons.
who will stoop to any fraud or falsehood
to compass their ends. The crops in the
valley at harvest time will give the lie
direct to the circulators of false reports.
It is possible that the Herald is over
drawing the matter when it places the
average yield at twenty-five bushels to the
acre. Although the crop will be good,
some OF the grain was SO poorly put in that
it was much damaged and will lower the
average. Judging as nearly as possible
from the reports of farmers who are reli-
able, about half the wheat sown will reach
that figure, while the other half will not
average more than fifteen. An average of
twenty bushels to the acre seems to be re-
garded as comparatively fair estimate of
the coming crop by those claiming to be
best posted and having no interest in
extravaganza reports.

AGAIN IN TROUBLE.
Commissioner Evans is again in trouble.
The government has recently established
an agency in Massachusetts for the exam
lnation of the government bank note and
bond paper. 1t became necessary to
appoint ten counters. The government
already had in its employ ten experts, who
could be detailed to this responsible and
important duty. Commissioner Evans
also had ten friends whom he wished to
appoint. and although they were not ex-
perts and knew nothing about the business,
ne appointed them. The appointments
came before Secretary Folger for confir-
nation. He notified Commissioner Evans
that he should not confirm these appoint
ments; that it was very essential to the
proper conduct of public business that
experts should be put on this work. and
that 1t would be necessary to detail the ten
already in service for that service. So ten
more of the friends of Mr.. Evans have
gone to meet Horton.

OUR BREADSTUFFS.

The annual statement of breadstufs
grown in this country, just issued
by Chief Nimmo, of the bureau
of statistics, is quite gratifying.
1t runs % per cent. higher than last year,
and reaches well up toward the year ending
July l, 1881, which was counted the banner
year. Of corn expectations there were
some 100000 bushels less than last year.
The expectations of wheat duaing the year
ran Il, 100000 bushels beyond those OF the
preceding year. The quantity of wheat
flour exported during the year was more
than 100000 barrels greater than in the
year ending July 81, 1881, and over 3.OOO,-
600 more than last year. The exports of
wheat flour in 1883 were over 100000
bushels. with value of over S54,OOOOOO.
The exports of wheat during 1888 we're
over 104,000,000 bushels, at an average
price of $1.13 per bushel. The value of
wheat and wheat -four exported during the
year was nearly $175,OO0,OO0, and of corn
S27,000,O00. The corn export of the pre-
cedlng year, however, was about double
that of the one just ended, though at a
somewhat lower price The average
price at which corn was ex-
ported in 1881 was SO cents per
bushel; in 1882 65 cents, and in 1888 over
So cents. The expectation of rye was very
small. Europe grows great deal of rye
and eats it too, but she does not call much
on the United States for that article. The
rye sent abroad last year was less than g.
100000 bushels, its value triie over ST.
100000. Another interesting feature of
the report of Mr.. Nimmo is statement
giving the quantities reported from the
various parts. New York, of course, comes
in for the lions share. Out of S2OO,OOO,OOO
worth of breadstuffs exported in 1883 over
S83,000,O00 worth went from the port of
New York. This is an increase of about
10 per cent. over last year. The next in
