Of Improvements, the township of Devils Lake
is now assessed for $250,000 of improvements
alone. From DEVILS Lake we took the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba railroad south, passing
through Minnesota, and there / saw what had
never seen before-a real paradise for wheat.
I stood in one field and as far as the eye could
reach there was nothing but sky
and wheat 1t was the grandest
sight of the kind ever saw. Much of the
wheat was headed out too and all of it looking
splendidly The soil along in Dakota and
Minnesota is peculiar. It is rich black loan,
with enough sand in it to keep 1t from clogging,
and it has this advantage in winter it freezes
several feet deep, and it does not thaw out until
August Meantime If they have dry season, as
they had last year and the year before, the frost
beneath the surface, melting, sends up enough
moisture to prevent the grain from dying, and
they have good crop anyway. They raise a
good many hogs up there too:
In fact, I saw one weighing
600 pounds. They feed them chopped up
potatoes and barley and within certain limits can
raise them cheaper than we can here, They only
require to build houses Of sod as peotection in
winter. Their wheat straw they use as fuel in
running harvesting macnlnes, out tne5r oas Straw
lie different from ours and is, they claim, equal to
our finest hay. Altogether the country is o glo-
rious one, and think If the people Of St. Louis
knew moe abont it there would be a rush IN that
direction that would soon fill up all the available
space.
AS far as the wheat crop is concerned, I don't
see how they are going to get cars enough up
there to bring all the wheat to market"

Asst. LOUIS CAPITALIST

And Wonders Where Cars will Come from to
Haul Our Wheat.

ST. LOUIS, July 15.-The G1o6e-Dsmocrat Of

count of the visit of some Of the St. Louis prom
inent business men to the northwest:
A party OF capitalists Of this city, consisting of
N. G. Larimore, Leonard Matthews, W. II.
Thompson, H. L. Newman and few others,
have returned from an extended tour through
Montana, Dakota and Minnesota Mr.. Matthews
was enthusiastic yesterday, both about the trip
and the country through which they passed.
A CATTLE PARADISE.

SIT is Montana. We ran up to st. Paul and
thence across the country to Miles City, where
we left the railroad and struck off toward the
south about110 miles. Hero we spont some
time, and from my examination Of the country /
don't think it could be exceed for cattle raising.
The grass, which grows to considerable height,
is SO luxurious that the people say if you ride q
horse all day and then place grain before him he
will turn from it to eat the grass. Then II the
weather should be such as to injure it, it only
does for about half its length. The lower por-
ton remains fresh and green, and in the spring
begins to grow again.
After describing s'round up" the speaker
continued: 'sOn one ranch this season they
branded 5000 calves. AS for loss, l only saw
six dead cattle all the time was there-that is,
six cattle that had died this season. To show
you how quickly man can realize on his CAPT
tai it only costs 81 year to support COW. That
COW has calf which is worth the minute it can
walk around $40 cash. That calf, if it is bull
will be worth in three years Ss5 or 40. If it is a
hefer, she will have two calves herself inside Of
eighteen months. You see calf is worth more
in that country than it is here because it in
creases SO in value at such little cost
Why, 1 was astonished to see car
loads of cattle from Indiana, Ohio and other
places in the east going west to be fattened.

There is very little land which is not already

The owners of stones for engage

great world which occupies itself with
such small matters of taste and super
stition: The diamond, of course, is
good all the year around. If it is suffi-
GENTLY pure it will warn the wearer of
the treachery of his beloved object by
breaking at the least blow of steel
The pearl is fashionable, and also pre-
ferred by ideal poetic lovers, but it has
frightful secret influence, impelling
to treachery or death. The ruby, by
its color or brilliancy, is the image of
eternal flame, and is the best possible
omen. The sapphire means tender
ness and truth. In Poland the stones
are chosen according to the month in
which the engagement is made The
ruby for July, the pearl for May, the
sapphire for January. For March the

husband, as it is the omen of certain
happiness.--So7a Francisco Argonaut.

verified into new costume, is sure to

Royal Elephant Fights.

a royal Elephant fight in Bur
nah is thus described: "There were
fifteen elephants on side. A pair Of
them are never started alone at a
fight The fights are always arranged
for the amusement of the mobiles, and
are great events. The battle is terrific.
The elephants are given toddy, IL ade
out of the fermented juice of the palm,
which they drink out of buckets.
Jersey lightning is like water compar-
ed to the stuff. 1t makes the elephants
reel and tumble about like drunken
men. They snort and trumpet and
create a terrible racket. In the fight
at Theyatmo the mahouts or drivers
Straddled their necks and urged them
on. The beasts had been ma ldened
by prodding and beating and rushed
at each other like mad There were
some that wheeled around and ran
away, but those that kept ON made
the earth shake when they came to-
gether. They ran right into each
other. They locked tusks, and gored
and lashed one another with their
trunks. Tusks were run into elephant
shoulders six or eight inches. The

Market Prices.

Dogs bring all kinds of prices, accord
ing to the fancy, but there is a general
rate which may be given as follows
Black and-tan terriers range from $40
to $50, and Scotch terriers are little
lower. Skye terriers average $50. Italian
terriers range from $40 to $50. Spitz are
SIS to 1856. English pointers are $50 to
$75, and water spaniels are the same,
while King Charles spaniels are some
higher. Siberian bloodhounds are $2J to
800, and English mastiffs are $40 to 800.
A friend of mine paid $25 for pup of
this breed few weeks ago, and is pleased
with his purchase. St. Demands are 500
to $50. Fox hounds average $40 Shep-
herd dogs are about the same. These
pri, es, however. gives one no idea of the
fancifl1 value of the show animals. Here
are five dogs, which are rated at the
modest sum of $10,0 each-(why do
they not make it a million?)-while a
score of others are valued at So. 900.
One tiny pet wears gold collar enriched
with precious stones, and there is Mr..
Gilbert's pet Blenheim, which weighs
four pounds, and 81, 600 a pound would
not buy him. President Aythur's mastiff
attracts much attention, and so do the
champion coolies, near whose bench one
secs the prizes they have taken at other
exhibitions. Jay Gould's settlers are also
an interesting feature. Gould never hunts,
but being now the possessor of grand
estate he finds such animals necessary to
its completeness. The entries at this
show are 1,170, and as this is an increase
of 900 since last year, it is evident that
the dog fever is on the advance.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.


The London World says: A new
fashion, imported from America. has
found favor in certain Partisan draw
ing-rooms. As the guests arrive, in
response TO an invitation for a soiree
dansante, they are met at the door by
a young lady, who gives small bou-
quet to each person, and insists that
the flower shall be attached to the but
ton-hole of the gentleman or the cor
set of the lady. Each gentleman is
then expected to seek out the lady who
wears nosegay similar in respect to
his own, and he thereupon, after the
customary salutations, becomes her
partner for the rest of the evening.
This compulsory coupling, when skill
fully organized, favors many intrigues.
promotes matchmaking, and affords a
good opportunity for the display of
spite, by bringing unsympathetic per-
sons together.

the purpose. The nitre gradually dis

According to Mr.. John A. Ryder, of
the United States Fish Commission, the
green of oysters is not due to copper.
He says that every test, chemical, ply.
steal and astronomical, which has been
tried at the instance of various investiga-
tors, has shown that the consumption OF
green-gilled oysters is never attended
with evil effects. The green is not pro.
duced by copper, as has been asserted by
ignorant or prejudiced persons, but by a
harmless vegetable coloring matter alb
sorbed from the food upon which the
animal feeds, and this matter is nearly
identical in composition with the green
coloring substance found in the leaves of
trees.
