THE CROPS.

Inquiry among number Of farmers
during the past week develops informa-
tion to the effect that all crops are do
ing we'll except flax. From many quar-
tcrs flax is reported rs not doing we'll,
and the damage in some quarters is
laid to small Load colored cut worm
which infests the ground this season.
In other quarters the wild mustard or
'kale' rs some Call it, is usurping the
fields. Corn IS doing remarkably we'll,
Notwithstanding the cool season, al
though the two slight frosts in
June checked its growth somewhat.
The grass crop, which this year is to
be utilized to an extent unknown be-
fore, is up to the best of former years,
and hundreds of thousands of tons will
be put up in the radius tributary to
WOrthingtOn.

HOW DIR. NEWMAN VAS CURED.
DR.. John p. Newman, Gen. Grants
spiritual adviser, thus tells how he
was cured:
My health failed, and kept steadily
failing, until ut last was sick unto
death. Medical men Of high repute
were called ia consultation, and then
others and others, until Il small regi-
ment Of doctors had diagnosed my case
and filled my body with drugs. They
differed widely as to the nature OF the
disease and its proper treatment, and
among them managed to endow me
with almost all the organic ills that
flesh is heir to. Finally they managed
to agree Oh the point that the hour Of
my death WAS near 1T llaEd. After all
hope seemed gone my dear wife decided
TO make one last effort. Without my
knOWledge she cut off lock Of my
hair and took it to u lady i'll New York,
who was said to have il mysterious gift.
This lady belonged to Il highly respect
I'd family, and never exercised her So
called powers of clairvoyance for any
mercenary end. Taking the lock of
hair in her hand, she shortly afterward
passed into 4 state Of trance, and while
apparently sleeping, murmured: "Gall
stones; he must drink sweet oil and
seidlitZ powders.' Then she awoke,
and my wife came to me with the stO-
ry, and pleaded with me to follow the
advice. Among all the medical sug-
gestlons, or assertions, rather, a possi-
bility that the trouble arose from gall
stones had been omitted. l treated the
clairvoyant's dream IS an absurdity,
but after long urging, agreed to take
the harmless medicines out of cOnsid-
Grafton for my wifes anxiety, ard her
desire to leave no chance untried. l
swallowed Il quantity Of the sweet oil
and the powders AS prescribed, and to
my establishment and delight was soon
rid of twenty eight gallstones. My ILL.,
ness disappeared, my strength return
ed, and since then have been a COM
paratively sound and hearty man. The
lady who brought me this good service
died, and some of the clergy hesitated
to perform the rites Of burial. glad
ly accepted the duty, and over her c0f-
FIN acknowledged the debt owed her.
No man can satisfactorily explain the
mysterious mental power of the wo-
man. But that she had been given
some force beyond the reach of most
other mortals I cannot and do not
doubt.

THE FARGO SOUTHERN.


A Fargo special of June 10Th says:
The annual meeting of the Fargo
Southern Railroad Company was held
to day. IL. z. Sargent, John W. N.Y.
ers, T. W. Wadsworth and Philip
Wadswort1, were elected directors for
the ensuing year. Plans are being con-
sideved for the extension of the road to
Flandreau or some other place in the
immediate vicinity. ard in view of the
early completion Of these arrangements
the number Of directors was reduced
from thirteen to seven. II. f. Sargent
was reelected president, T. w. Wads-
worth of Chicago, secretary and treas
urer. The reports show the road in
most excellent condition, the equip
ment complete and the construction
finished with the exception of eighteen
miles of ballast, which will soon be
done. There seems no doubt that the
southern extension will be built before
fall. .s-..

The Currie Minnesotian says:
From all around us we hear reports
of travelling swindlers, such as plow-
lnen, liyhtnins-rod and insurance men.
package dry goods ped.l'erS, etc. and
it seems that they find plenty of suck
ers to take their bait, although people
are frequently warned by the newspa-
pers. 1t people would trade only with
their home dealers. they would not get
sold. There is nothing that they wisl,
to buy but tho home dealers can supply
just as we'll as any QUE else aud the
profit be left at home to help build up
the country.
This is we'll said and is true. And
yet we believe in free trade'' in this
respect. People have right to choose
when they will buy and from whom.
The point to warn farmers against
is signing their names to any paper
presented by any itinerant agent or
travelling man. Farmers ought to
know better than to sign their names
to anything presented by stranger,
and most of them do know better,
but every year we hear of new swim
dies and list Of victims.
The Sibley Gazette thus speaks Of a
new swlndle:
We wish to warn farmers in this vi
entity against new way of swindling.
1t is played upon farmers only, and if
any Of our Osceola friends get caught
after the publication of this notice, it
will be their own fault. The plan of
working the sWindle is this: A man
goes through the country gathering
statistics about the yield of your farm
last year. He fills up blank state.
ment with the information that you
give him, and then just to make it ap-
pear authentic he has to put your name
ut the bottom of the statement. OF
course it is only statement of your
crops, and will do no injury, and un-
less you were ION to the racket" you
might very willingly sign the paper as
requested. And then after time a
second part in the transaction comes
to light. You receive letter that a
note is left at certain place for COL
lection. Then it dawns upon you that
the fellow who took your crop report
80 manipulated the document as to
make q note Of it that you could not
avoid paving. Look out for this kind
of thing.
