Every farmer should examine his fields

Yes. The law says that the APP

territorial treasury by special tax,
levied for that purpose, in each Of
the several counties of the territory.
Perhaps eight or ten counties, in

this year is smaller than has been known
for years, while the failure in the winter
wheat belt, has made it almost absolute
ly certain that the shortage-the amount
produced less than last year wEil not be
less than one hundred and thirty million
bushels and perhaps more. Everything
considered, the outlook for the Dakota
farmer is most decidedly encouraging.
Already wheat is worth 70 cents, and, as
harvest approaches and the pancity Of
the article is more plainly discovered and
felt, the price win grow larger. We look
for the market to open here az about s.
cents.

a recent issue speaking Of tin min
ing in Dakota says: "1he repeated
discoveries Of tin in different parts
of Dakota, and the development of
properties in localities where this
metal was first revealed, indicate
that this territory will probably be-
come the central source of supply
of this important mineral. 1t is to

little Sydney Ruggles met with an acci-
dent that came near being fatal. His
father Was driving along in the buggy
when tine boy saw him and concluded to
ride. Before his father noticed he ran
up and caught hold Of one of the spokes
Of the wheel to climb in, and was carried
over and thrown on the ground at the
horses heels before Mr.. r., could stop the
buggy. One Of the horses stepped on his
arm and looking around saw him and
kicked striking him glancing lick on
the forehead, cutting cash about three
inches long, and laying the flesh open to
the skull bone. DR.. Peabody was imme-
diately summoned and dressed the wound
and the little fellow is doing well. 1t
was close eall--an inch lower and the
horses foot would have struck him square
in the forehead and crushed in his skull.

ABOUT THE LEvEE.
The great subject of the -levee was
brought up by Mr.. Lienau, who offered the
| following:
Resolved, That the committee of this I'M
/ ion on the Mississippi river and leYee be in
structed to meet the board of public works
next Wednesday evening and request that
! body to push forward the construction of
| the said levee as specified in the final orders
OF the common council recently transmitted
to said board of public works.
A long and embarrassing and very ram
bling talk followed, during which everything
but the levee was talked about.
Judge Wood said they were still talking
on everything but the resolution and had
gone to building levee without dollar.
LITTLE MUSIC IN THE AIR.
Mr.. Paul Martin, under the pressure of a
good deal OF excitement, began to talk
against building the levee. He declared
that he owned 200 lots on the fiat and he
declared that he did not want the levee;
and said that of course there was no
trouble to get people to sign petition for
it. People will sign most anything handed
to them, but tell them what the levee will
cost and they don't want it
and wont have it. People that
have no lots or property are in
favor of the levee for it wont cost them
anything. That kind of people and dead
beats are in favor of it. Mr.. Martin here
became very excited and shook the chair he
had hold of until it fell over. perhaps
through accident. He grew still more red
in the face and declared that it was a dam
nable outrage that men who owned no
property and who were nothing but dead
beats should have SO much to say in favor
of the levee.
All this was evidently aimed at Judge
Wood, who did not fail to note the fact,
and as soon as Mr.. Martin ceased speaking
the judge rose to reply, and
was most tantalizingly cool and
but he saw ''that we have. a millionaire
amongst us" which was good thing to
have, but he thought the millionaire ought
to have some brains to go along with his
wealth. Brains count something in this
world. Ii man gathers money in this
world he does not thereby wipe out the fact
eioeo hO was lOllliclly d tIdlllp. AZ IlllS
point the chair raped on the table and re-
minded Judge Wood that he must confine
himself to the subject properly before the
union and not deal in personalities. The
judge then started again, and was directing
his remarks towards Mr. Martin in
a savage manner when the chair
again called him to order,
but before he could restore order there was
some confusion, and finally the judge see
ing that he could get no fair chance to say
what he wanted to sat down, and quiet was
restored.
Mr.. Lienau then offered an amendment,
which was adopted, to strike out all after
the fifth line and insert the words land
consult with said board in regard to the
grading of the levee," after which the board
adjourned

A RUINED CHARACTER.
The Sad Story OF a Woman Who Once
Keigmed as "a Belle..P0Iice
Court DOinRs.

''That woman" said a spectator when
Elmira Cressy was arTaigned in the police
court yesterday on the charge of drunken
ness, attended my wedding in this city
thirty years ago She was one of family
of very pretty girls, and they belonged to
the early aristocracy of st. Paul.
''Her father was very rich, and he owned
a great deal of valuable property. She was
belle in those days, and some of the big
wigs who you see rolling along in their car
riages were only too glad to be
numbered among her admirers, and
if the truth were told she owes
her ruin to some of these same gentlemen
who are now SO eminently respectable"
What is more picturesque than ruined
character? What more pathetic than the
sad story of this woman's history? Rudely
hustled into the bull pen, along with the
hideous creatures of the slums, one would
not recognize in the sunken eyes and with
cred form of this old woman the rOsy-faced
girl of the sweet summertime long ago,
when the gallantS of 50 would have
given fortune to bask in her
sunny smile The blossoms of
youth, innocence and beauty decked her
then, and the turtle dove of love whispered
y.
her beauty faded as the morning mist; and
when the veil was lifted it disclosed a poor,
old, decrepid woman, with nothing but Bit
terness and lees in her cup. When ar
ranged yesterday she said she had INDUCED
slightly, and she was sent out for ninety
days.

called her heart jumped into her throat, the
tears started, and she was about to faint

He promised to keep straight, and was put

Charles Saucey, waiter at the Mer-

and yesterday he was placed under $500
bonds.
Mary Jane Henry doesn't look like an
amazon and yet there is wonderful
amount of energy and rage tied up in her
little body. She is the divorced wife of
William Henry, and on Thursday she met
Mrs. Miller, another divorced wife of the
same man. and in fit of jealous rage she
attempted to carve her rival with a butcher
knife The latter was better yesterday and
Mrs. Henry waived examination and was
held to the grand jury in the sum of SO, goo.
She maintained to the court that
Mrs. Miller was the one i'm fault.
and that she ought to be ARRESTED.
