STEAD CONVICTED.

LONDON, Nov. THE trial Of Mr..
Stead and the other defendants in
the Armstrong abduction case was
resumed to-day before Justice
Lopes. The Judge in his charge to
the jury urged that they bring in a
verdict according to the law and not
to allow their personal sympathies to
influence their decision. Mr.. Stead,
Justice Lopes said, filled the Pail
Mall Gazette with filthy, disgusting
articles of an obscene nature, the
publication of which are not connect
ed with the present charge. The
only material question for the jury
to decide was whether the chile
Eliza Armstrong was taken away
from her home against her father
will.2 They were also to determine
whether the mother sold her chile
to the prisoner, as alleged by the dc
tense. +.
The jury retired at 3 :40p. m. Tn
foreman asked the Judge, before tn
jury left their seats, to allow them t.
distinguish Mr.. Jarrett and MI
Stead as to their criminal liability u
case the jury concluded that Mrs
Jarretthad disobeyed the instruction
of Mr.. Stead.
I The jury brought in a verdict
t guilty against Mr.. Stead and Rebel
ca jarrett and acquitted Booth an
Jacques.
The Judge deferred passing ser
t, tence OH the convicted until after th
trial of the indictments for indecer
assault against Stead, Jacques, ia

THE ROCK ISLAND ROAD.

No one outside of the officials has
any knowledge of the exact route
which the Rock Island road win take
through Brown county the coming
season, but we have it pretty straight
that the main line running east and
west will come within mile or so of
Warner, even If it does not strike the
town direct. Running west from
Watertown, it is conceded by all
acquainted with the matter, the road
will pass through gap in the Coteaus
directly east of Warner and continue
its course straight west until the broken
country is reached. AT the Coteaus a
branch will probably run northwesterly
to connect atsome point with the James
River railroad, recently purchased by
Che Rock Island company. We do not
claim that the road will strike Warner,
but we do know for a certainty that
this town stands as good a chance as
any other and Chat on no account viii
it run into Aberdeen. Our people can
appreciate the advantages arising from
being in proximity to this railroad fully
asweil as though we dilated upon them
to the length Of a column, and they
can depend upon this information
being as true as any ever is in this
world Of uncertainties. The road will
be constructed the coming season.

Importance Of Flax Industry.

The fax industry has now assumed
such importance as to demand Tho
attention of our farmers and business
men in some intelligent and organized
way. The articles heretofore published
in our columns show that of 5,000,00O7
to 100000 bushels of seed grown in
the United States this year about one
half of the whole yield was grown in
Minnesota and Dakota; that the great
bulk of Minnesota yield, say three
fourths, was produced in the eight or
ten counties in the southwestern part
of the state I; and that the heaviest flax
producing counties are Rock, Cotton
wood and Mobiles.
Although the flax industry in Ameri-
cahas just begun, it's claimed, as shown
in our report of the Tow-Mill Conyen-
ton, that the farmers annually lose
forty millions of dollars by not having
amarketf for thestraw. Mills, however,
for using the fibre, are beginning to
multiply, there being 15 to 20 in the
district represented by the convention,
and with mills sufficient to utilize the
straw, the fax crop will become one OF
the most profitable which farmers can
grow. This will be especially SO should
the proposed establishment of linen
mills in the west be realized and farm
ers be induced to grow the best grades
of fibre. 1t was shown at the conyen.
tion held in Worthington that by Sc.
curing the best seed and adopting the
best methods of culture, the straw
product can be raised to two and two
and half tons an acre and sold al
so and $12 per ton. Add to this al
average of s to IL bushels of seed tx
the acre sold at 81 to s1.20 bushel
and it will be seen that fax can b
made most profitable CROP Worth

Wonderful Dakota.

This is how a Dakotain is said to
have dished it up to eastern friends: !:
He SAYS corn in Dakota stands IL feet
high in its socks. When we take into
consideration the fact that a Dakota
foot is 20 inches long, and the inches
rather long, this makes out to be lengthy
maize. He says the cobs are too short
to hold the kernels, and there is a quart
Of shelled corn run off on the ground
around some hills. Says he planted
his own on the town line and after
there were three ears set on each hill
there we're some left and he finds a
string of seed corn all braided nicely
hanging over the town line and two
fine ears growing on the corner stake.
Still he says Dakota is nos corn
country. Raise wheat there? Oh, yes
saw section of wheatso thick mower
wouldn't cut it. Put horses in the
field and drove around on the heads
and trampled it cut. Don't know
how much it yielded to the acre, but
when I came away the wheat was run.
ming over the third board in the fence.
Fact! Dig our carrots with a well
auger and peas grow larger than Iowa
pumpkins. Territorial laws forbid us
raising pumpkins within a mile Of a
navigable river as the vines run off into
the river and pumpkins impede navi.
CATION. Always make pumpkin vines
run up hill so they won't drag the fruit
over the ground and wear it out.

THE POSTAL REVENUE.

The large deficit in the postal service for
the past year, over 100000 is attributable
partly to falling off of the revenues and
partly to an increase in the expenses of the
service, about one-quarter of it to the first
cause and the remaining three-quarters to
the second. The decrease in the revenue of
course resulted chiefly from the reduction of
letter postage from to 2cents The in
crease in expenses is in about the same ratio
as in preceding years, and is due to the in
crease of population and the settlement of
new territory. At first blush it might ap-
pear that Congress had been too fast in cut
ting down the postage rate, and that the ex-
pected increase Of correspondence which it
was predicted would counterbalance the loss
due to The reduction in the rate was to be a
long while in coming. But there are unmis-
taxable signs that it has begun and that at
the present rate of increase it will not be
long before the old figures will be attained.
Thus while in the first two quarters of 1885
the receipts from postage stamps were less
than in the corresponding quarters of 1884,
in the third quarter the receipts were 1927,
1878 more than in the corresponding quar-
ter of the preceding year, and in the fourth
quarter $252, 1861, So more That rate of in
crease need continue but a short time to swell
the receipts to the figures before the rate
was cut down. What makes this increase the
more encouragin is the fact that it has

come while business is depressed. 1t is only
reasonable to anticipate that with revival OF
business will come a much more rapid in
crease in the postal revenue.
At any rate there is nothing in the present
situation to make return to the old rate
imperative or even advisable.
