EAU CLAIRE, Aug. 3.-Much sympathy is
expressed here for W. w. Wright, the mail
agent on the Duluth route who was entrapped
into Matchmaking scheme here recently by

to that of the ordinary scarecrow. He went
in response to a letter from Capt. Black, re-
ceived Saturday, and will give testimony as
to the essential principles of anarchism

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
WEBSTER. OAK, Aug. 3.-There seems
to be an impression among the news
papers of Minnesota that the wheat
crop of Dakota Is about an entire
failure. at least so most of the papers state,
particularly the Pioneer Press, which never
loses an opportunity to give publicity to
every little rain, hail. wind and snow
storm that happens to pass over Dakota.
1t is no doubt true that some portions of
Dakota have been visited this season with
hail storms; so has Minnesota. 1t is also
true that some portions of Dakota will
have light wheat crop. but while the
wheat crop is light, the corn crop never
was better, and l would like to say this for
Day and Marshall counties. which are To-
Gated on the west slope of the Coteaux
hills, that the yield of all small
grains has never been better than this
year, Day county has never known what
a failure of crops means. The fact
of Its being located among the hills with its
numerous lakes is the secret of its being
visited with numerous rains each season,
enough SO the crops are constantly kept
growing. The yield in wheat this year will
run from sixteen to twenty bushels per
acre. The assurance that the crops of all
kinds are good in this section has induced
our people to do more building this season
than any drevious season since Webster was

Three Rich and Good Women.

OF the three daughters of T. A. Drexel
who have just left for Europe,
writer in the Philadelphia Press says
They will be gone year, and in that
time they will visit all the chief edv:
cational institutions abroad, with the
view OF gaining additional knowledge to
be used in the carrying out of the
great educational charity that they
have begun at Torresdale, and which
is now only the nucleus of what it is
to become. All their affairs have
been put in order, and their immense
charities-of which, indeed, the com
munity knows really little-will 60 or
as heretofore. The very day before
they sailed they drew a check for ar
immense sum in thousands for g
single charitable purpose They have
now very nearly S4,OOO,OOO each.
Startling as it may seem, they give
away almost the whole Of the income
from this immense fortune, aside
from their own living expenses, il
charity. Some one expressed surprise
that they should manage to dispose
of SO much. The reply was that they
could find use for much more in the
same channel if they had it. They
have q regular roll of pensioners, or
which there are some $50 names
Besides their institutional and local
charities they are constantly giving
TO the poor in all parts Of the country
indeed, in all parts OF the world
Their own expenses are extremely
small. They live and dress plainly.
Their only luxury is high-bred horses,
for they are excellent horsewomen, as
all the ladies of the Drexel family are,
and among them thev, have very
good stable. They We been well
trained III the ways OF Business. They
are thoroughly up in bookkeeping,
and themselves keep q watchful eye
on their immense estate.

A Cinsalese Snake.

The following snake story comes
from Ceylon. The snake is not sup
posed to be one OF the pleasing pros
poets in Bishop Heber's hymn:
Above the front steps of the plant
er's veranda, the beam in the roof is
his favorite catch-hold to swing by
the arms when he wants stretch.
The place which one hand is accus-
toned to seize lies between two raft
ers which are near together. One day
he went to reach his hands as usual,
and by spring, grasp the beam, when
he noticed something about the color
OF the wood. Was it bit OF tangled
bark. a cord, a rope, or what was it
which lay from rafter, back and forth
like the lacing-string in a womanly
corset2 That moment he caught the
glitter OF snaky eyes. He drew back,
shouting to a neighboring planter who
happened to have dropped in, and
was under the veranda. The friend
could see nothing there but wood. By
this time planter No. had stick,
and forthwith knocked the "tiepalon-
ga demon out of it's senvenomed form:
triangular head. horrid, horrid!
Otherwise the planter would have
been a corpse before the next rising
OF the sun. The day was rainy and
cool, and the wretch in reptile form
had climbed from his lower haunts to
this dry and warmer refuge, and there
had curiously passed his fexile body
back and forth, tapping over from
rafter and back to rafter, and when
the human body approached, as the
planter plainly saw, the snake eyed
him, and was ready to bite with the
poisonous tooth. The venom is in
the upper jaw.

London Cable: A special cause for in
terests on this side OF the water in the
earthquake disturbances on the North
American continent has been given
by the lecture OF Prof. Dawson,
and it's speedy illustration by events
which were virtually coincident. The scien-
lists address before the British associa-
tion has occasioned great deal of com
ment in connection with the Charles
ton earthquake. 1t was delivered be-
fore any news arri;,ed in England
OF the shocks experienced along
the Atlantic coast of the United States,
and his remarks were considered to have
been almost prophetic when he said that
it was possible there would soon be,
or might even now be in progress, n new
settlement of the bed OF the Atlantic
ocean. especially on it's western side,
and that there would possibly be
at the same time renewed volcanic &C.
ton on the eastern margin OF the ocean.
Both these things have apparently taken
place, and this fact is much talked OF us n
veriication OF the computations OF scien-
titic investigation.

on q very important question. In 1888

tax upon the gross earnings OF the rail.
roads and the renl estate. This is in lieu
OF all taxes on other property. The recent
case was thni OF Ramsey County VS.. The

road. and it came up on demurrer, and
Judge Mcconnell holds that the law sim.
ply exempts all land and property usedfor
railroad purposes, and that town sites
and other speculative property are taxable
in addition to the gross earning tax. This
decision does not affect the Northern Pacf-
ic, as its land was secured through an act
Of congress and not by purchase.
