Elk Taller Prndnctfr.nsss.

There is probably no part of north Dakota
more productive than the Elk valley, por-
ton Of the Red valley. The Larimore Pjo-
ileer has gathered these samples of its wheat
product: Thomas s. Edison raised from 100
acres ,225 bushels of wheat, 4214 bushels
per acre. Col. John Ely raised on Mr. Edi-
sons place 100 acres that averaged little
over 43 bushels. The field on the Elk valley
farm just south Of the depot averaged nearly
80 bushels, and the one across the road to the
east ~. II. E. Lavayea, south of town, had
81 acres that yielded 80 bushels per acre. j. H.
Matthews raised IA, 2l9 bushels from a little
less than 600 acres, about "a bushels per
acre. l.. Russell, of Strabane township,
raised 462 bushels from 10 acres. Hendrick-
son Brothers, of Larimore, obtained 10, 044
bushels from $50 acres, an average of 2S1{
bushels. V. NJ Babcock raised Il 900 bush
els from $50 acres, or % bushels per acre.
II f. Arnold threshed $500 bushels from
247 acres, averaging 3315 bushels. Copp 81
Whitney, on the Arnold farm, obtained To-
623 bushels from 1886 acres, an average Of

In order to solve the query q GLOBE re-
porter on yesterday called on Postmaster
Day, and in reply TO inquiries, be said:
''The trouble is,' he explained, THAT
route agents have not time in the twenty
minuJes allotted TO sort letters mailed on the
cars. People have an idea that by pouehing
their letters into car they will be Transmitted
all the sooner: this is a great mistake. II
frequently occurs that letters posted

for st. Paul are carried as far as Newport,
Hastings and sometimes as far as La Crosse
before the route agents have time TO sort
them. The result is that the same letters are
not delivered until the next day, whereas II
they bad been mailed at the postoffice or
street boxes they would reach the address
the same day.

be no more stufing Of letters into cars. and
frequently the wrong cars too, and when this

Flax has been from S1.00 to $1.15 during
the greater part of the season. Notwithstand-
ing this great difference, which has existed
for a year or two past, though to less degree
than now, there are about three acres Of
wheat grown IN Hutchinson county to one

Parties are moving 10 secure a charter for
a narrow gauge railroad from that point to
Deadwood to connect with the narrow track
claimed that while road running further

reservation, which will furnish no business

over fifty miles in that district, aud the route
from the north will have a fine country all

matter E. C.. Rice has these among other
points: What is there for such road to do
as l have referred 70 a road from Mandan
to the Hills! In the Hills they have, as l am
told, fine soft coal, which could be placed
70 the consumer from Fargo to Glendive
(about 400 miles in extenO, for one-half
what they now pay, and there is used in that
territory over twenty cars .per day the year
round.
In 1888 there was sold from the vicinity of
the Black Hills 100, 900 cattle, or 10000 car
loads. There was brought to Deadwood
100000 pounds of freight. Double that
for the entire Black Hills and we have 4, 900
car loads per year. The shipment OF salt and
orc would be a large business. There is
produced about 5000, 900 per year in gold
aud silver, furnishing employment for at
least 500 men. The value of property in the
Hills, not including mines, is about S10,-
10000. Tue trade of Deadwood alone is
over 81, 900, 900 per year. That country also
purchases large amount of farm products

''This man." said Maud s., not the turf
flley, but Maud Sherwin-as she capered un-
der the string at the police court yesterday,
''is becoming so brutal that can't stand
him any longer"
"What did he do to you?" querried the
court.
''Well, sir, he struck me; yesterday ne
came to me and asked me for money, and
when / wouldn't give it to him he cursed
and hit me. l am getting tired OF being
abused" and the bright eyes of the
little woman blushed in a way that meant
business. The fellows name is james
Quinn, and his low status in society may be
judged from the testimony OF the woman
from whose gains he has been living. The
bifurcated nonentity had the gall to mum BILE
a rejoinder, but the court sat down on him
by sending him out for thirty days, during
which period he will do the grand buck

''Oh, don't you remember sweet Alice,
Ben Bot,'' sang the baiff as Mrs. Alice
Wood, tidy little lady, took the stand and
testified how Mrs. Pianek slapped her face,
the latter being up on the charge Of assault.
Mrs. Wood has rented apartments from Mrs.
Planck out on University avenue and the
latter charged her with breaking her fur
niture and ordered her to leave. Mrs. Wood
procured new quarters and when she went
to deliver up the keys Mrs. Planck slapped
her face. She was fined SO.
Ben Boyle was up on the charge of dis
charging pistol into Market hall. 1t was
shown that the gun went off accidentally and
he WAS discharged on payment of the costs.
Pretty Nellie ROseDthal had JAS.

arrested for abusing her. 1t was a neigh

The bastardy case in which A. Helm was
the defendant developed an exceedingly sad
story. Martha Kreger, a half-witted girl Of
seventeen was the plainant, and when
placed on the stand she became bewildered
and testified that the accused had done moth
ing to her. The father of the girl tried to
make out case, bnt the testimony was
wanting and the accused was discharged.

The philosopher who first discovered the
fact that man is the only animal that laughs

splenetie ehumps who do the lace
