DakOta's Wheat Yield as Shown BY
the Territorial Stats tician.

the Territorial Statistician.
Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 17.-The re-
port of James Barnes, statistician for
Dakota territory, was received to-day in
this city. In this Mr. Barnes, after re-
ferring to the difficulty in obtaining relia-
bic statistics proved to 1884, says:
Had it not been for the European war
news that gave a boom to prices just prior to
seeding. allid with sweeping reports of great
damage to crops throughout the winter
wheat section, there would have been a de-
crease in the average for 1885 from
that of the preceding year. The conditions,
however, pressed farmers to seed more than
they otherwise would have done. The price
at which the crop of 1884 was marketed was
OF the land was not proved during the
fall in the large wheat belt in the
south and central portion of the territory.
Many acres that would have been sown with
wheat, with good prices prevailing, were
seeded with flax. The land broken up
first time in 1885, will, however, about
Offset the decrease in acreage, leaving the
| acreage of 1885 nearly the same as 1884.
The yield shows nearly as great range as
ties crop of 1884. There were some locali-
ing of drought, others of wide-reach-
ing hail storms, while the prevail
ing hot weather during the milk
stage also worked injury all over the terri
tory. The harvest ended with an average
yield of 14.5 bushels per acre. Loss before
threshing from rain and prairie fires, the lat
ter being more disastrous than ever before
known, amounted to per cent. or
292.296 bushels, leaving the crop for 1885
at 81 ,015, 1873 bushels. This shows nearly "a -
100000 bushels more wheat produced by
Dakota in 1884 and 1855 than was figured in
any calculation of statisticians, or in the
official report of the department of agricul-
ture at Washington, and places Dakota in the
front rank of wheat-producing states.

A Shocking Affair.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, Nov. 17.-Last night
while repairing one of the blast furnaces of
the Cambria Iron company J. B. Smith was
overcome by gas and fell headlong into the
furnace. Previous to beginning work the
fires had been thoroughly tamped, yet the
inside of the furnace was very hot. Ropes
were thrown to him. but being unconscious
he could not take advantage of that method
of rescue. The gas arose from the furnace
to such an extent that the work of rescuing
the body was very dangerous, and in a few
moments one of the rescuing party was
overcome by gas. He was dragged away
and fellow workman took his place and
he was rendered unconscious. The matter
continued thus until seventeen men had
been prostrated. Finally the remains of
Smith were pulled up with hooks and ropes.
They presented a CHASTITY and sickening
spectacle. being charred and burned and
drawn into such shape that they could
scarcely be recognized as those of human
being. No other deaths resulted.

A PUT-UP JOB.
Oklahoma Boomers Boom in tn
Employ of Railroads.
4o+

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Speaking of
the repeated invasion of Oklahoma terri
tory, Gen. Sheridan said to-day that he had
information which led him to believe that
the leaders of the boomers were in the pay
of the railroad companies. whose lines are
now excluded from Indian Territory, and
that these invasions were planned and main
tanned to keep up public agitation in hope
that they would result in securing legisla-
ton that would enable the roads to build
through the territory. A letter received to-
day from Ft Reno says that the report that
1000 boomers are in Oklahoma is an exag-
geration, and that the invaders do not
number more than four hundred. Col
Summers command has returned to Reno
from scout in the southern part of Okla
homa, having captured less than one hun
dred boomers with their wagons, horses,
etc. These captives are now en- route to
Caldwell, Kan, under military escort.
Col. Sumner, few days ago, started from
Reno with two troops of cavalry and one
company of Indian scouts for a place
called Brewertown on Saltwater river, near
old Camp Russell, where large number of
boomers are believed to be located. Thus
far the boomers captured have exhibited no
disposition to resist the military.

An Indian Outbreak Expected.

Speclal 10 tne GlODe-
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 17.-Gen. Howard
to-day received from Gen. Hatch of Fort
Mckinney, Wyo., a report regarding re-
cent depredations by Indians in that vicinity,
which caused considerable uneasiness
among settlers near the Arapahoe reserva-
ton. The sheriff of johnson county, with
a posse, raced the maraudlng Indians to the
Arapahoe reservation and applied to the
chiefs to have those who had been off the
reservation on thieving expedition given up.
He succeeded in getting only Two turned
over to him to be dealt with by the civil
authorities. Gov. Howard says if they are
severely dealt with by the authorities,
there is liable to be serious trouble,
probably an Arapahoe outbreak. He in
timated that these Indians had not been
treated fairly by the government and they
had been starved. They are the same In
dians who last year appealed for some kind
of physic that would keep their children
from becoming hungry.

Why Appointments Are Delayed.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE numerous
Minnesota appointments announced yester-
day prove that the president is not delaying
selections there because OF any alleged
factions in the Democracy. The recon-
mendation of Campbell for marshal has
been sent from the attorney general to the
White house for ten days. but there are a
dozen other judicial appointments awaiting
in precisely a similar way-leisure of the
president to reach them. He is not devot-
ing his entire time to Minnesota, and that
is the explanation of the delay assigned
here. 1t is learned that the president HIM
self appointed McChesney agent at Chey-
enne agency over Arnold, recommended by
the Indian bureau. Dissatisfied friends of
Arnold ascribe it to church influence.

Shot by a Jealous woman.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-The National hotel
on Clark street was the scene of very SEN
sational shooting affray about o'clock this
morning. Edward Quevit, young French
man, was shot at twice and dangerously
wounded by Adeline Duval, his mistress,
from whom he had separated few days
ago. Quevit had only been in this country
a few months, and was tailor by trade.
He met Adeline soon after his arrival here.
When he left her few days ago she fol-
lowed him to his new abode and threatened
to kill him if he did not return to her. Last
evening she called at the hotel, registered
and took. breakfast at o'clock, and when
he returned to his room after breakfast to
get his hat she was concealed behind the
door. AS soon as he entered the room she
made an exclamation in French, and, STEP
ping into the middle of the room, fired two
shots in rapid succession at the young tailor.
She was about to shoot again. when he
grappled with her and threw her on trunk,
and wrenched the revolver from her.
Quevit tainted from loss of blood, and the
woman, with a shrek, grabbed for the
weapon again, and would have fired but
for the interference of bystanders. An
officer was called and the woman placed
under arrest. The doctor found that the

coming out about four inches from where il

and is said to be well connected in France.

French Canadian. Adeline Duval was
seen in her cell at the armory to-day. Shs

emily about 25 years of age. with black eyeS
and raven hair. She was tastefulIy attired
in close-ftting brown dress, in which hef

played to it's best advantage. She was cry
ing bitterly as she paced up and down the
cell. "Oh. do tell me if he is deadp' she
exclaimed dramatically to the reporter.
"Oh, did not mean to hurt him. / found
a card marked 'Gertie Duvap in my room,
and 1 thought he was untrue to me-" she
said in pleading voice, with French ac-
cent. When told that Quevit was resting
easily, and in no danger of death, she said;
''Oh, am so glad. If he was to die !
would kill myself. loved him so and yet
he did not treat me right. Oh, if L ever
get out of this I'll 60 to convent for the
rest Of my life. My God, when l saw the
blood on his face thought had killed
him. You are sure he is not dead?" she
again anxiously inquired. She refused to
say much in regard to the shooting, but
finally admitted she had learned through a
gentleman friend of hers that Quevit was
at the National hotel. ST was given a
room next to his, but l did not know was
