Mr.. C. c. Smith, who arrived in the city from
ST. Paul last evening, says the grading his
contract of $50 miles on the Cedar Rapids &
Northern railroad from Spirit Lake to Water
town, will be completed this month. There is
some talk Of placing another long section of the
road under contract this season. Regarding the
Alma g. Northern contract, Mr.. Smith says he
has been for-some weeks in daily expectancy of
orders to largely increase his force, but as yet
had received none. The idea is to get on the
bottoms now while the water is so remarkably
low and do as much work as possible while these
favorable circumstances prevail. This would be
very wise thing to do, for marsh grading could
be done now 10 the very best advantage and
there is u good portion of the year when in can
not be done at all. Sloughs that at ordinary high

SYCAMORE, H., Aug. 14.-The knowledge Of
the killing Of Kitty, the seventeen-year-
daughter of Heck Mitchell, farmer, three miles
west of here, by Louis Taylor, farm hand,
yesterday created the greatest excitement in this
city. The murdered girls parents had left the
house after dinner for this city, leaving the
daughter alone at home with Taylor who was
working near the house. Alice Dennis, the
daughter of a neighbor, was to pass the after
noon with Kitty. When the latter arrived at
$50 p. m. she made the horrible discovery that
Kitty corpse, and that her clothing had
been set on fire by Taylor who had evidently at
tempted to outrage her. Two hundred men set
out upon his trail and finally discovered him near
a creek Of water. Taylor was seen to run into
the stream and killed himself with pistol shot
in the head. His body recovered. The
mother Of the murdered girl is insane

Col. Lounsberry vouches for this sort of sue
cess in farming on the Missouri slope 'Ed
Sloan brought to this city yesterday two stools
of oats from his farm five miles north of Bismarck
On one there were ninetyfour perfect stalks of
oats grown from one kernel Of grain, and all but
twelve of the stalks had perfect heads Of grain.
The others would have have had perfect heads
had the stool been permitted to grow few days
longer The other stool had ffty-six h eads.
This growth is something remarkable. even in
this remarkable country. Mr.. Sloan also brought
in specimens of grain grown upon the
farm of Geo. Joy, eight miles north of Bismarck
adjoining the Mellon farm. Mr. joys oats
stand fully five feet high. lie has ninety five
acres of oats that his neighbors all concede will
yield from ninety to one hundred bushels per
acre Mr.. Joy has one hundred and ten acres OF
wheat that will surely run over twenty-f five bush
els per acre. Good judges estimate it as high as
thirty five. Five years ago Geo. Joy commenced
on this farm with no means, being in debt for
his yoke of oxen and seed needed for the few
acres he had broken the year before. Joy now
has 800 acres Of land, two hundred acres Of it in
crops as stated above. He has refused twenty
five dollars an acre for his farm

This joke, related by the Grafton Times, has a
moral: '.What is considered as huge joke by
some happened to the Toronto agent Of the St.
Paul, Minneapolis 81 Manitoba railroad at this
city last week. Stepping of tne train at the
.sdepot' the agent went to the Oriental hotel for
dinner, after partaking Of which he turned his
steps toward the ''depot." After wandering
around for while and missing the train, he re-
traced his steps to the hotel to get information
as to where the '.depot'' was located. Upon its
being pointed out to him he expressed the Mt
most surprise, not to say disgust, and said he
supposed that building WAS warehouse or
freight shed. Now this may be considered in the
light Of joke on the agent but in view Of all
the facts, the circumstance Of having such s'de-
pot'' not only makes laughing stock Of Grafton,
but is positive disgrace TO the company. Graf
ton Is one OF the most important and profitable
stations on the entire line OF road, and is GER
tainly entitled TO better depot accommodations.

~asleged Cutting of East Bound Freight

~alIeged Cutting of East Bound Freight
Rates.
1t is now generally admitted that east bound
freight rates from Chicago are being cut by sew
eral of the roads, and it is the opinion that I'M
less some steps are at once taken TO
stop the Irregularities there will be ser
ious trouble. Thus far the Wabash only
had been charged with cutting the rates. This
road not being member of the Chicago east
bound pool, the Chicago committee could do
nothing to rectify the matter and therefore Com
missioner Fink was requested to take steps to
prevent the Wabash from diverting the business
from the regular lines 1t does not appear that
Commissioner Fink has taken any steps i'll the
matter, it being still claimed that the Wabash
continues to take much of the business at cut
rates. This is taken pretext by the other
lines to cut the rates also. 1t is hardly probable,
however, that the Wabash's diversion OF ous'-
ness is the sole reason for the emitting OF rates
pow said to be practiced by several OF the roads.
The Wabash's east bound business from Chicago,
is said to be very small, and the regular pool
lines could well afford to ignore it. The princl-
pal reason that the rates not maintained Is
undoubtedly due to the fact that the present
rate, Us cent basis is too high and shippers can
not afford to pay it. In consequence, very little
through business is being shipped by the regular
all rail lines, and if they want any of the busl
ness they are compelled to make lower rates.

HE WAS A BAD BOY,
For He Missed the Dog and Broke a
Show Case,

A tall, muscular young man, with bristly short
red moustache, sullen gray eyes and forehead
which denotes some degree of intelligence, and
dressed in the garb of d mechanic. This was
Louis Morris, the young man who was in the po-
lice court yesterday on the charge of rape.
Against him appeared French woman, meanly
dressed, with iron gray hair and almost as dry
and thin looking as wafer An account of the
case appeared in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE.
When arraigned yesterday the accused put in a
plea of not guilty and asked for further time.
The hearing was continued until to-day.
''The majesty of the law must be maintained -
said the court as John McManus was arraigned
on the charge Of violating the pound ordinance.
The defendant had broken into the pound and
taken therefrom mare and colt belonging to
him without paying the charges. Il will fine
you $40 this time said the court, '.but don't
let it occur again.
''Mr. Rilly, you are charged with vagrancy,
what have you got to say?' Mr. Rilly stepped
lightly forward and said that it must be mis-
take; he had just arrived from the east and was
on his way to the billowy prairies of Dakota,
where he expected to take hand in gathering in
the crop of No, hard. The court gave him till
noon to seek the golden grain fields.
Hannah Flynn had been debauch and she
looked very rocky. The poor old girl is not SO
young as she used to be and the tanglefoot takes
hold of her and lays her out more easily. She
was given thirty days in which to brace up.
Mrs Keeper was charged with making it torrid
for Josie Story and the hearing was confined
until to-day.
Thos. Law and John Hanson were charged
with putting a head on Fritz Siloski; Fritz
looked as if he had been drawn through thrash
ing machine, and as defendants were not ready
the hearing was continued until to-day.
Louis Stees, ragged dirty little sinner with
out a whole garment to his back, went into
Grote's yesterday and was bounced out. Then
the dog chased him when he threw stone and
broke the show case. When brought into court
he sobbed as if his heart would break and prom
ised to never to be a bad boy again. Gen. Shields
interceded for him and the court suspended SEN
tence during good behavior.

Ri,,os and Bosses.

The Mitchell and Yankton land districts have
been afflicted with rings and bosses in politics
that meeting of the editors was lately held TO
devise means to emancipate themselves. The
preamble TO their resolution alleges that ''many
of the counties of this, the third legislative dis
trict, cursed with political rings and bosses,
who seek to control and dictate TO the people
and force upon them obnoxious and dishonest
men for office that they may gain control of the
Legislature, for the purpose of executing individ
ual schemes in favor of factions and detrimental
TO the best interests of Dakota Therefore
they propose to form new combination to down
the bad fellows. In other district, perhaps
the Bismarck, there have been some limitations
of bossisn, but a rule the political aspect Of
the territory has been like the material, stmu-
lating but wholesome and pure. Grand Forks
often has vivacity and noise in its politics, but
the strife is to see who shall do most for the
common good Selah.

HASTINGS,
Especial Correspondence of the Globe


HASTINGS, Aug. 14.-Your correspondent has
travelled in every township in Dakota county the
past week, and can trnthfuly say that the crops
have not been SO good and go well secured as the
present season. This week will find it secured
in the stack elevator, and without rain in all
probability to injure it in the least. All the
samples shown me have been No. hard Blue
stem Saskatchewan Of old fashioned Fife. Those
who have threshed, and they are many, report
from eighteen to twenty-five bushels per acre
In this immediate locality corn and potatoes will
be a poor crop on account of protracted drought
Wheat in Cottage Grove township, Washington
county, is the heaviest every saw growing. By
the way, doubt if richer section of country
and better-to-do class of farmers can be found
ia the state than in this part of Washington
county.
Although the chicken season does not begin
until Friday, yet the most OF them have been
killed already by the poachers, and nobody seems
courageous enough to prosecute the law break
ers. Several loads of hunters went out last Sun
day.
Extensive preparations are being made by the
directors of the Fair ASSOCIATION for big fair
and if the weather is favorable they will have the
biggest exhibit and the largest crowd to see it
that was ever before seen on the grounds En-
closed is the racing programme. As Hastings
follows the Owatonna and Saltwater meetings
and Red Wing follows Hastings the last two days
of the same week, large field of steppers is
expected. The auction sale of stock will bring
buyers from all over the county as well as from

Thus it will be seen that the city has goodly

everything that is needed in stock, and we un-
derstand the prices for the same class of goods
here are from 10 to 90 per cent cheaper than in
st. Paul or Minneapolis. Why then should peo-

purchase them cheaper here. We will take up
another branch of business tomorrow. and we
trust we will be able to show that in that we can
compete with any other place in the state.
