Went a FLYING,

CHICAGO, June 21.-The official report shows
that the limited express over over the Vandalis,
westboand, Oh "Wednesday last, made the run
from Indianapolis to st: Louis, 24O miles, in
aye hours and thirteen minutes. Eighteen
stops were made at county seats and railroad
crossings. The train sheet shows that the last
100 miles, where the track Of the Vandalia is
In the most perfect condition, was covered in
12S minutes, and six stops at stations and rail-
road crossings were made. nelueiinr tho
time used in making stops, allowing two min
utes for each stop, the 240 miles was run in
at minutes. The officials Of the road say this
was the fastest run ever made between Indian
apols and st. Louis, and il eyer eau aled has
not been exceeded on any road west Of the
Allegheny mountains.

Fargo Southern. Take Notice.

What is the reason the Fargo Southern rail
road does not extend its road northwest,
through fine country, from Fargo? Through
the sheyeune country there are hundreds of
acres OF land under cultivation where owners
are compiled to 90 from 20 to 80 miles with
their produce. If that country was made ae-
cessiblo by rail communication, it would prove
the best producer and patron af \ road Of any
section Of North Dakota. And willie the Fargo
Southern is acknowledged to be tile best road in
the territory, we see no reason why it should
not reach out after the laurela which the pso-
pie are 20 anxiously waiting TO tender 1t. A
trip through the country Of range 81, towns
14S-9-50, would fully convince any company
that bonanza was stored away for ssma one
who was ready to reach out after 1t, and to
this end we would like inspection. II we are
not right, then our judgment goes BY the board
together with that Of men who are clear and
long headed relative to matters pertsis..c TO
bonanzas. 1t should na. 30 oGetlbGkSsssl-- =

Killed by LiehtNinG,

Between one aud two O'Clock Sunday after
noon, Mr.. {. W. Hill, his two SONS aud Joe
Cramer, hired man, were endsav0ring to
round up the cattle on Mr.. Hills farm, south
Of town, when the storm broke upon them. A
bolt of lightning passed over the party, striking
Mr.. Cralner, killing him and his horse instant
ly, and stunning the rest of the party. As soon
as they recovered, Cramer was picked up and
carried to the house. 1t was found that the
bolt struck him on the forehead and left breast,
leaving ugly marks. 1t tore his clothing off
down to his waist, where 1t left him and passed
down the horses legs, making holes in the
ground three feet Deep and about an inch in
diameter. Mr.. HIPS moustache was saoFoned

or Interest to F.rn.rs.

Oliver Dalrymple writes TO the Fargo Argus
calling the attention Of farmers to the fact that
the Minnesota railroad and warehouse eommis-
sioners have abolished dockage on account Of
dirt In the elevators at Duluth and Minneapolis.
This will make Unnecessary fer farmers to clean
their wheat at homo and deliver 1t clean ready
for inspection at the terminal points as has a.
ways been done In New York, Chicago and Mil
wankee. This step, continues Mr.. Dalrymple,
was probably thought to be for tho interest Of.
producers, as it saved payment Of freight On
foul seed, encouraged good farming. held
screenings for feed at home, and allowed all
questions Of shrinage to be settled at home, il
at ALL instead Of 200 miles away or where they
had no voice. Mr.. Dalrympls says his object
In calling attention to these facts is that the re-
quired cleaning mills and machinesy may be

THOROUGHBRED STOCK.

In an article on dairy interests Of Minnesota
the st. Pau Globe thus alludes to the efforts
Of Mr.. Hill to introduce thoroughbred stock
along the line Of the St. p, N. l. N. in Mime
sofa and Dakota:
I'm this connection 1t would be proper to rs-
fer to the laudable interest which President
Hill OF the Manitoba road has displayed in the
dairy business along the line of his road, In
this particular Mr.. Hill has set an example Of
public spirit and generosity that is not only
worthy Of the highest cemmendation, but il
one that other gentlemen Of wealth who are
devoted to the development Of the states re-
sources would do we'll to initiate. At heavy
expense to himself Mr.. Hill has selected, pur
chased and imported a number of bulls with
the design OF stocking the country along the
line OF the Manitoba road with the best breeds
OF dairy cattle. Mr.. Hilps plan is to distribute
his bulls among the different counties on the
line of the road in proportion to the number
Of farmers who are willing 70 give attention to
dairy products; at the same time having due
regard to the adaptability OF the various sec
tions to dairy purposes. The bulls are let out
the terms that the person is to take the bull for
aspecifed number Of years-say TIVE, three or
five ysarY-and is to handle him for the public
benefit. That is, the farmer who takes the
animal obligates himself not to have more than
ten OF his own COWS served by the bull from
the LIST day OF May to the 1st day Of October,
He is to permit his neighbors to bring their
cows during that time, and have them served
at a rate not exceeding 81 for each service.
At the expiration Of the time specified In the
contract, the farmer in whose care the bull has
been placed becomes the absolute owner of
the animal without any charge from Mr.. Hill.
In this way Mr. Hill expects to have within
four or five years the entire country along the
line OF his road we'll stocked with the finest
dairy cattle in the world, and the section
through which his road passes will be one Of
the most noted dairy regions in the world
Last year Mr.. Hill imported thirty-six bulls.
This year ho has imported los, and he says he
now has at least 1000 applications for them.
1t is only these states which have such public.
spirited men, who have the intelligence to un-
derstand the wants Of the community and the
generosity to provide the means for supplying
those wants, that become great and prosperous
Minnesota's position a. the leading wheat
growing state is assured. 1t only now remains
for her farmers to display little more entsr-
prise and system in building up the dairy iu
dustry to put the state beyond comps ttion in
Its dairy products"

Dakota NO Howiinx wildernss..


As an illustration of the usual effect upon
Eastern visitors, the Lisbon Star mentions the
case Of the three Tompkins brothers, who late
ly came out to that section to SEQ friends and
the country. 1t says: ''Instead of finding the
howling wilderness' which they expected,
they found the most beautiful country they
ever saw, with which thsy just fell in love,
and all are anxious to return here and reside.
One Of the brothers bought half section of
land while here, and will return with his fam-
lily about the first Of July to take up his per-
manent residence. Both Of the other brothers
have the Dakota fever very badly, and it is
moro than probable they will be back Just as
soon as they can dispose of their business there.
There are number Of other people in Fishkill
who have strong desire to come to the prom

Something New In Farming.

Some men in South Daksta have struck a
nav scheme in bonanza farming. They take
the proved-up claims of various parties whose
land is for the most part unbroken, and, for
the privilege Of four year lease of the same,
break up the entire tllable area. This scheme
gives the lessees four crops from the land while
in its primest condition, and leaves the owner
with a farm under thorough cultivation

Tho seVerest blow yet experienced since the
settlement of this section of Dakota occurred last
Saturday. The morning opened murky and
sultry, the mercury indicating over so degrees.
A the day wore on, however, the sun slone
bright, and though brisk breeze sprung up
from the northeast the weather was intensely
hot About noon the clouds began to gather
in the west in heavy dark masses, accompanied
by peals Of thunder and flashes Of lightning,
the wind suddenly veering to the northwest.
In few moments the storm burst upon us In
all it's fury dark, heavy mass Of clouds SEEM
ingly reaching from the heavens to the earth,
aud approaching from the northwest to the
southeast with fearful rapidity. The storm
lasted about half an hour, at times seeming to
lull, only to arise again with greater violence.
From what we are able to learn 1t covered an
area twelve or fifteen miles wide, its greatest
severity being felt seven or eight miles north
of Hope. With the exception Of overturning
few outhouses, no damage was sustained in
Hope. On the prairie n number of slaeks were
demolished, few barns aud outbuildings un-
rooted. Sherbrooke seems to have suffered
more severely than any other point, doubtless
owing to the unfinished condition Of most Of
the buildings. The county building was moved
several feet off OF its foundation, and the large
iron safe, which was in temporary shed out
side the building, was completely upset. d.
p. Baldwn's new store, which was just sheated,
was blown down rs was also tho new black
smith shop of Mr.. Honneyman. The greatest
sufferer, however, was J. M. Roberts, who had
just about completed his new livery barn,
which was entirely demolished the most of tho
lumber being so broken up as to be unfit for
anything but frswool. A number Of buggies
were more or less diapdated, but we learn Of
no injury to persons or stock. Mr.. Honoyman
has rebuilt his shop and is again at work, and
Mr.. Roberts has his livery stable nearly rebuilt
Mr. Baldwin's store is being rapidly re-ere ctst,
and will socn DO ready for occupancy. The
| county building remains intact, and the county
business is carried OIL there as smoothly as
ever. The citizens of Sherbrooke are to be conl-
mended for their enterprise In going to work
so promptly to repair the damage done by the
blow, and may take comfort from the fact that
hard blow, like lightning, scarcely ever visits
the same section twice.
