OF harnessing carriage horses for ladies.
He "buttOns" all b. bands.
The splendid harvest weather of the
past three weeks was just what farmers
needed. 1t could not have been better
if it were made to order. You may "bet
your boots that every mothers son
here took advantage of it.
Mr. Starkwea her, ST., says this is the
most pleasant quarter of the entire globe
to spend the summer months in. An
abundance of all kinds Of game, pure in
vigorating at nosphcrc to breathe and
stacks Of golden grain are sufficient to
account for it. We accompanied the
old gentleman few days ago on hunt
ing tour, and observed that he is a
"cracK shot, lie picked the ducks,
chickens and rabbits with such rapidity
us did Gen. Jackson's sharpshooters
pick the red coats in the famous battle
of New Orleans.
Mr.. d. G. Duell, who spent the past
few weeks in Larimore, returned last
Saturday. We are happy to learn that
Mr.. d. was recently admitted to the
legal profession. Mr.. Duell is an able
and scholarly gentleman, who aims,
through the cultivating of a rational un-
derstanding Of human relations and in
tel csts, to lay u broad foundation for
that rcspect which is due labor as the
source of wealth and the satisfaction
which wealth brings. His many friends
here wish him abundant success in his
new field of labor.
10 one who has never witnessed 1t be-
fore it is exceedingly astonishing what
an amount Of work can be accomplish

of the west. At the commencement
OF harvest grain was SO rank farmers i'm
agined il would require them till "snow
flies to complete cutting and stacking
their grain. But no sooner was it in
condition for cutting than all provided
themselves with binders and other nee
essarles, and work was begun at once.

young man ofgentlemanly qualities from
Grand Forks, simultaneously preparing
his own hash, we venture to say that his
equal as a worker cannot be found IN
this golden northwest. II this fact WAS
related to the little buckwhcat farmers
of the east they would incontinently
exclaim that it is another Dakota yarn"
We impctlously object to their calling
it yarn" but We agree with them in
calling it a stocking, as it is just what
buys stockings for the little ones. Mac

Do you not believe that the
present low. extremely lo,c, price
for wheat has been brought
about by the combinations be-
tween the Millcrs' Association
and the elevators? Did they
not play the same game on all
the wheat growers of North
Dakota last year? then bought
up your wheat at As to so cents
per bushel and made colossal
fortunes out Of the advance be-
fore spring The line OF eleva-
tors along this one railroad
(the St. p, NJ. & NJ. boast OF
clearing cool haI' million of
dollars on last seasons busi-
ness. Later on, when you were
preparing to seed youl ground
this spring, ingeniously word
ed articles appeared in all the
newspapers showing the short
age of the winter wheat crop,
and predicting mm in Europe,
all Of which pointed to an in
creased price for your new
wheat. But nop, after a hard
summers work, and you are
ready to sell, they open the mar.
ket at GO and 62 cents, and
grade down your wheat one or
two grades lower than the same
wheat will grade in Duluth. .
Many farmers think there is
no remedy, and that you are
compelled to sell to this mo-
nopoly, To such we have
these four propositions to
make:
First-We will snip Tor you
can ship your wheat to Du-
luth, which always grades wheat
better than the local buyers,
and where they make but .
cents per bushel difference be-
tween grades, instead Of cents
at local elevators. We can
give the benefit Of a buyer of
thirty years experience, and
you have the advantage Of the
Minnesota State Inspection;
I. e.. by inspectors who are not
Jycrs, but paid by the state to
inspect wheat. As an orcn
market, Duluth ranks best of
any in the Northwest, owingto
the fact that all the buyers
from Southern Minnesota and
Iowa are compelled to go there
to get their No. ! Hard to mix
with their soft southern wheat.
As soon as your cars are loaded
at this depot we will make you
IA liberal cash advance OH your
wheat, so you can have money
at once.
Second-lf you prefer to
hold your wheat we will adj
vance cash, and carry it for
you two, four or six months at
straght S per cent per annum.
We shall have daily market
reports by telegraph from Du-
luth. and will sell your wheat
there by telegram at any time
you may order.
Third-To smaller produc.
ers. who cannot ship in carload
lots, but are compelled to store
i'll elevators here, we will al
ways buy your 1Vhea. Cheeks,
and always pay the highest
market price based upon quo
tations from Duluth.
Fourth-If you have wheat
stored here, in any elevator,
we will advance money on
wheat checks and carry you
two. four or six months at
straight s per cent per annum.

responding crack under the other. Each door
was doube-one thickness of heavy wood
which was shut only at night, and precuded
all communication; the other of light iron
bars. A string tied to the stick pulled over any
message we might desire to send. Between our
room and the other on the same side Of the hall
there was an unused chimney into which stove
pipes led on each side. By removing the
elbows we could talk through, but there was
the danger of being overheard. To remedy that

startled by the thought that we were still
alive-that the thunder-bolt had not yet de-

much longer it could be delayed At last
