Minnesota and Dakota Corn Crops.

uluHeSOta anu DAkOCa COrn CrOpSs
ST. PAUL, Sept 15.-In an interview with
an associated press reporter this evening
state immigration agent H. H. Young made
the following statement for Minnesota:
The corn crop of this state has suffered
very yconsiderably from the early frosts in
many localities, and unusually cold weather
ruling during the latter half of August and
up to a few days ago has prevented the
crop from maturing as early as common,
and a considerable proportion is not yet
sufficiently advanced to be secure. The ex-
tent Of damage am not able to give, but
from such information as l haveI believe
it must amount to fully 1211 per cent. 1t is
safe, am sure, to put the condition of the
crop as low as per cent and the yield at
8T per cent, as compared with an average
crop. Railroad reports and special advices
from various sources support the above es-
innate. -''''
Major Mclaughlin, of the Standing Rock
Indian agency, Dak., says the Indians on
that reservation raised 10000 bushels of corn
this season, all of which is in good condi-
tion and not materially damaged by frost
Colonel Tyner, of Fargo, says the wheat of
North Dakota will average about eighteen
bushels to the acre and average grade as
high as No. 2. Other DakOtans at the fair
confirm his estimate. Minnesota will go
below this. Wheat is all out of danger;
other crops than corn are in good condi-
ton, ...r' t-. .st'

A Balloon Running Wild"

MONMOUTH, ILL, Sept. 17.-An enormous
balloon, swaying above the city a few
hundred feet drew people from stores and
houses this afternoon till the streets were
crowded. Excitement became intense
when shortly the air ship swooped down
and impaled itself on the spere Of a Cath
olic church. The balloon at once collapsed,
and hundred citizens helped to drag the
empty, barring a torn shirt sleeve, cuff
and some branches of oak, indicating col
lision with tree tops somewhere. All ef-
forts to discover whence the balloon came
and the name and fate Of its occupants
have as yet been unayailing. i ~

Hellol Vic, Dye Hear?

LONDON, September 1.-THE press asso-
citation furnishes lengthy accounts of an
alleged discovery whereby telephone COM
munication across the Atlantic is made
possible. The inventor of the new instru-
menti is said to be a native of Texas, and
has no scientific reputation. He employs
an instrument of enormous power. It is
also alleged that q certain company has ac-
quired the sole right to use the instrument,
and that a we'll known millionaire has
given the inventor, whose means are ex-
tion, which will cost e5OOOOO. The new
instrument, it is asserted, has been success
fully experimental with in the Gulf Of
Mexico. The story lacks scientific data
and has the appearance of being a hoax.
