Articles where the dollar meets its equal

Life In Dakota.

People in Dakota thought the world
was coming to an end last Thursday.
Birds, horses and cattle apparently be-
came crazy with fright, anticipating
some catastrophe. At four O'Clock in
the morning people were awakened by a
roaring wind as hot as if from furnace.
Fearing cyclone they took refuge in
cellars. The hot wind lasted an hour.
The temperature was l2O degrees. At
midnight it had been 100 degrees. Peo-
pie feared death from the hot air, and
had it lasted much longer the fear
would doubtless have been realized.
Fortunately it soon abated and cOmpar-
alive comfort WAS found in Il temper a.
ture of about 100 degrees which had
prevailed several hours previously. Dur
ing this terrible night there were
strange barometic disturbances
throughout that region. Passengers
who came through on Northern Pacific
trains say that it Was like passing
through furnace. Trainmen had
their faces aud hands blistered by tho
heat. Grass and other crops are great
ly damaged.

The Wheat Yield.

Following is a summary Of the Rural
Nep Workers. annual crop report: From
over 1000 crop reports from all parts of
the country the Rural Nep Yorker con-
cludes that the winter wheat crop is, on
the whole, good, the probable yield be-
ing 295, 900, 900 bushels, against 3l2, OOO,-
600 in 1885, with a slight increase in
acreage. Spring wheat has been con.
siderably injured by drought and blight.
the yield will probably be 10000, 900
bushels, against l45, 100000 last year.
The total wheat crop will probably be
435, 900, 900 bushels, against 357 ,OOO, 900
last year.
In oats there has been slight increase
in acreage; the crop has been consider
ably injured by drought and insect pests
and will probably yield 600, 0OO, 900
bushels against 629, OOO,O 900 bushels in
1885. Of rye and barley there will be
excellent crops, on slightly increased
area. There is good stand Of corn and
the outlook is excellent for a fine crop.
OF early potatoes the crop will be heavy,
and late potatoes are promising, especi-
ally in the West.

The prohibitionists Of Atlanta, Ca,
are Indignant over the evasion by the
proprietors of the Kimball House Of the
prohibition law which went into effect
in that city July l. The proprietors OF
the Kimball purchased an unexpired
wholesale liquor license, which permits
them to sell by the quart until October
9. and have thrown their bar open for
the sale of whisky, wine and beer by
the quart, and rs consequence there is
a perfect rush on the bar by the thirsty
Georgians, who had been deprived for
a whole week of their morning, noon
and evening "smiles," as well rs the
"nightcap" to which they had been so
long accustomed. The mode Of proceed
ure is thus explained: An ante-room
opens to the bar. This is stored with
barrels of whisky, wine and beer, and a
refrigerator holding four kegs of beer.
Several neil are constantly engaged at
this refrigerator dealing out the beer in
quarts. Behind the bar proper several
men are kept busy rinsing pitchers and
glasses, which they set upon the counter.
A man comes in, takes pitcher, goes
to the adjoining room, gets quart OF
beer and comes back to the bar, where
he aud his friends provide themselves
with glasses, and, standing in group,
they drink and make merry. The new
scheme went into operation Thursday,
and was an immense success financially.
The bar was crowded all day, and over
fifty kegs of beer were emptied. Whis-
ky is sold in the same way, only quart
flask takes the place of the pitcher. The
Kimball managers claim that they are
proceeding according to law, and under
competent legal advice, but the prohibit
tionists are counseling together to devise
some means to close the bar.

Shooting the Rapids.

c. d. Graham, q native Of Philadel-
phia, and cooper by trade, went
through the Whirlpool Rapids at Mag
ara Falls on Sunday last in a cask that
he built for that purpose. With Graham
inside the barrel was towed out to
where the current caught il. and the
stream carried 1t on towards the rapids
and whirlpool. At first it moved slowly
along, then faster and faster, until the
mad curren; dashed it on with its full
force. The cask bounded up and down
over the great waves, and turned several
complete somersaults, but generally
speaking the wider portion remained
uppermost, although it twirlec around
like top. The cask kept pretty well In
the centre of the river until it reached
the whirlpool, when it struck strong
side current, and was carried swiftly
through, reaching the waters beyond ir
safety. From here the journey was
comparatively quiet. The cask floated
on toward Lewiston right side up and
all danger was passed. 1t was picked
up ut Lewiston, about five miles below
the starting point, and Graham crawled
out of the barrel uninjured, with the
exception of a slight bruise Oh one arm,
which he received when passing through
the whirlpool. He remarked: "When
| struck the eddies it was one continued
round of jerks, bnt am not hurt Bit
The cask is feet long, 80 inches in
diameter at the widest portion, % inches
at the top and Is inches at the bottom.
1t is bound around with iron hoops,
which weigh $50 pounds. The ballast
which was attached to the cask to keep
it in position weighs 24O pounds. Graz
ham will probably repeat the trip. He
says he will yet 60 over Horseshoe falls.

A Pr.ir.l story.

A correspondent writing from WASH
ington says: "a relative of the Grant
family in this city Is authority for the
statement that the married life Of Nellie
Grant, Sartoris is far more 'humiliating
and unpleasant than has yet been made
public. Mrs. Sartoris makes her home
with her husbands father, in the north
of England. Here, according to all ac-
counts, she is treated as sort of poor
relation. Two rooms are set aside for
the use of herself and children and their
meals furnished, but nothi e else Is
given to them, either by the husband
or Mr.. Sartoris. So far, indeed, rs the
younger Sartoris is concerned, 1t Is said
that he has not contributed a penny TO
his wife's support for years. 1t is q
well known fact that for a couple OF
years prior to General Grants death re-
mittances of money were regularly sent
to Nellie to provide herself and children
with clothing and other useful articles.
When the General became impoverished
through the rascality of Ferdinand
Ward, the greatest regret lie is said to
have expressed was that his poverty
would prevent him from further assist
ing Nellie, who was practically sup
ported by his bounty. All the members
of the Grant family who still contribute
to the support Of Mrs. Sartoris and the
children have urged Mrs. Sartoris for
years to separate from her husband and
return to America. 1t is said that Mrs.
Grant made such request only few
months ago, after hearing of some fresh
indignity on SartOris' part. But the
daughter replied that she would not en-
terrain such a proposition moment,
and added Indignantly that she would
refuse to sustain relations Of any char.
acter with her family ifthese Emporium
tiles did not cease. Meanwhile, Sartoris
is racing about England, spending the
meager allowance his father gives him
among companions of his own kind.
The reports which. reach here from New
York say that Sartoris has been absent
from his wife since last spring, and
that she hears from him only at rare it,
teryals."
