Augusta (Ga.) News "Prohibi-
ton will do no harm. 1t will not
check Atlanta's prosperity. 1t will
promote it. The testimony from all
the counties that have adopted pro-
hibition is that they are more peace
tul and more prosperous than they
were when they legalized the sale OF
intoxicating liquors. The oppo-
nents of prohibition in that city
will be wise if they will accept their
defeat with proper spirit, and con-
sent to let prohibition have a fair
and square trial"

Woman that is born Of her mother
is of many words and full of trouble
to other people.
She cometh up like flower-a
beautiful, sweet fower-wiLh q
hustle and bangs on-smileth in her
fresh beauty, and the heart of man
becometh contorted with joy
thereat, and then she marrieth some
idiotic young dude and is no more,
forever-of any importance.
In the morning of her young life
she fretteth and sayeth to herself ::
these are the days of trouble, and
the dominion of my hard-hearted
and straightnosed maternal ances
tor, but soon shall elope with my
beautiful young sway-backed dude,
with a refined and delicate express
sion about his legs, and then lite
will be filled with joy, and all our
days will we coo together in the
magnificent home he intends to
build when his boss raiseth his
salary.
And then she doeth even these
foolish things, and findeth out that,
"where ignorance is bliss It's folly to
know you are a fool" but she can't
help knowing it.
She knoweth also that if they are
to be "two souls with but a single
thought" that she will have to fur
nish that thought.
In many things is she like unto
an angel; her heart is exceeding
tender, and often she doeth good for
evil, but never, never does she let
fellow get in the last word.
She rlseth up in the morning, and
proclaimeth, snake way for the
house cleaning-for the kingdom of
the scrubbing brush is at hand"
And her lord and master trem bleth
in his boots-or brogans, as the case
be-and doth flee from the wrath to
come, at lively trot.
The sweet face of the fair young
bride becomes hardened and worn
with care, and the gentle voice
whose silvery tones once trembled
in low, sweet music, grows harsh as
the creak of hinges long unused.
And then Woe !! woo unto the
proud man who getteth her riled,
for when her temper riseth up on
high, verify 1 say unto you it were
better for him to face two tigers and |
a Mexican lion. for in the day of her
wrath, her tongue is as two edged |
sword OF flame, and generation of
vipers.
Verify l say unto you the writer
Of these lines knoweth whereof he
speaketh, for in the words of the
prophet, che has been there before"

1t is now a settled fact that Judge
Dorne, of Alaska, is the judicial
functionary concerning whom the
President wrote his eel, brated letter
rebuking a politician who after in
dorsing Dorne for appointment as
judge wrote private letter to the
President taking it all back. Dorne
was subsequently discovered to have
bad record and to be so unfit that
the President suspended him Fl ON
office. Dorne is now reported to
have mysteriously disappeared from
the scene of human affairs.
1t is not settled yet who the per-
son was to whom the President
wrote his indignant letter, but be-
yond all doubt he was an Oregon
politician. This person may be
relied on to keep the secret faith
fully.

A True Man.

Rev. Mr.. Steel Is getting up some
thing In the nature Of sensation at
Memphis. His sermon on dancing
has given offence inside as well as
outside his church, and he Is being
abused on account oft, But he says
be amt afraid. They cant't intimi-
date him. He is going right along
in his work Of rebuking sinners, and
il anybody is hurt they have got
themselves TO blame.
The Appeal publishes his sermon
of last Sunday. The opening part
OF it will give our readers an idea Of
its character, and we quote this be-
low
II distinctly and emphatically re-
affirm every statement uttered last
Sunday regarding dancing and
whisky. / say emphatically to you
again that dancing is immoral in its
tendencies. Every parent who
values the chastity of his daughter,
the sanctity of his home, or the hap
piness of his relations, will frown
upon this iniquity. rhe lightness
with which the marriage relation is
regarded is the cause of many di
vorces, and divorces are getting
too common in this country. j do

cism either of the press or social

I Al wheat Buyers Opinion.

3 FsRGo, OAK, Aug. 10.-G. s. Barnes,
president Of the Northern Pacific Elev-
ator company, believes that the acrea ge:
in wheat in the entire territory Of Dakota
would he about 20 per cent under that
Of last year. The. yield'he thinks will
be fully as large per acre AS Of the crop
Of 1884. but in consequence Of decreased
ac reage the total yield will he less. OF
the land not in, wheat this year, 5 per
cent is summer fal|owed while the balance
and the new breaking is in mixed crnns
snch rs barley oats AK and considerable
seeded to tame grasses. MIR Barnes
said that taking the estimates of Mr..
Talmadee, which ar. .peared in the Pic
neer Press. Saturday as the basis there
was deficiency this wear Of eo5.o0o,o0o
from last season or 1877 100000 from the
average Of the past FIVE wears. The Wis
ib1c supply was 26!ooo,ooo more than
last wear at this time. and makes the
difference really hetw-en now and one
wear ago 179. .oOO,O0o bushels Consider
ing these figures Mr. Barnes said that he
expects a higher range of prices before
the close Of the year hut no immediate
advance. The present visible supply of
wheat is so large and the foreign demand
for -four is so light that an Immediate
advance IN prices is very improbable.
The mil'ers claim that the foreign dem
AMI for -four does not Justify them in
rayinc even the present prices for wheat
The market however will be governed
entirely by the delivers. If we have free
d e]iveries throughout the wheat sect,on
during the next sixty or ninety days
and as a consequence have to rely upon
the foreign demand, no ma
terial advance can be reasonably
expected. But if on the other hand, the
producers in the winter wheat sections
should show. a disposition to hold back
their grain and put upon the market just
enough to supply the milling demand
we may expect to see stronger markets.
Rut to many elements enter into the
problem Prices cannot he forctold this
season anya better than'in other years.
In CO Inclusion in reference to the new
grain law Of Minnesota Mr.. Barnes said
he did not think it would have effect
on tie price Of wheat. If the grade at
terln nal points was kept up the system
Of grading under the Minnesota law
this year'.is far better for the producers
than amp thing which has been in vogue
before the main reason for this being that
there are four grades and will undoubtedly
be mere uniformity. The members of
he state board are striving to. perfect a
system which will prove satisfactory to
the farming community. They have
shown good judgement in the selection
of them as inspectors.

Fergus Falls Journal: 1t is charged
that the state law requiring all steam en-

12,0O0 engines in the state including
steam trsshers and the fee for inspecting

licence to edgineer or assistant Frank
Scott, J. E. Cushing and G.. A. Seals

their way this wear. Perhaps if an extra
session ofthe legislature is had their fees
will be cnrtai1ed as they should be.
