Years ago when the dude was almost
unknownin Minnesota. ex-Gov. Ramsey
and Judge Brisbine came within an ace
of sacrificing themselves for one of the
slim-legged tribe. Like all good, iovi-
al people, the two pioneers went to a
circus which was visiting st. Paul, Of
course merely to give their young folks
a treat. They secured seats on opposite
sides of the ring, but with much the
same view. When the performance
was about tocommence, both gentlemen
noticed a slim, elegantly attired youth,
sidle in and take seat next to lady.
A minute later one of the circus attend
ants took him by the neck and threw
him away. The youth meekly walked
a little further around the ring and
seated himself beside another lady.
Again a ferocious attendant rushed up
and violently elected him from his seat.
By this time both Gov. Ramsey and the
Judge were becoming indignant at the
treatment accorded the nice young
gentleman, and each could see that
the others face was crimsoning with
righteous wrath. They intently watched
the further treatment of the youth, and
could scarce contain themselves when,
for the third time. they saw him s.ired
from the side of another lady, and this
time the attendant kicked him. ssBy

DIVERSITY IN DAKOTA.

The feeling induced by the shortage
of wheat in the hard district of Dakota
takes this rational shape: No. hard is
not the only thing this rich Dakota soil
will produce to advantage. Here is a
large field for industries that will bring
money to the producer and manufac-
turer. Potatoes yield bountitully. Why
not some capitalist put in starch fact
DRY? Flax can be raised. Why not
have an oil mill? The advantages for
stock raising in this county are too well
known to need comment. Few realize,
or we ought to say few are beginning
to realize, the advantages of this vast
country, glorious summer climate and
beautiful lake. That the winters are long
we do not deny, but every country
must have some Objectionable feature.
That we have had an early frost this
year we cannot deny, but this is the
first since the settlement of the county.
Such another year may not be known
in period of years. This has been
very unusual season in every locality.
We have had five eclipSeS, the number
varying from two to five per year.
This would naturally bring a great di-
versity of climate" Take courage.
Bring in energetic men OF means to set
up industries that will diversity your
farming! This soil has fortune for
every one!

Russian Apples,

At the annual meeting last winter of
the Iowa State Horticultural society,
after the reading of Prof. Hlnrichs'
posthumous paper on Russia and Rus
Sian fruits, the question was generally
discussed. Capt. Speer did not agree
with the paper read, and so expressed
himself. Among other things, he said:
IF, for example, an apple tree in
Russia will stand 81 deg. of cold, it
ought to stand here. where the coolest
have ever known is AZ deg. If the
varieties of apples of Russia stand their
severe drOughts there, they ought to
stand our occasional drouths here. If
they stand the extremely changeable
climate of Russia, why not stand the
changes we have here? have fruited

der for several years, while our hardest
American varieties of apples are dead.

year from my orchard. but now all the
trees are dead but Duchess, Whitney and
one or two others. The Russians L have

the far north of Russia will do well

THEY RAN THE GAUNTLET.
Refugees From Decatur Seek
Safety in KanfuckY

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 21.-The train
from Decatur which arrived this morn
ing brought to Kentucky between 200
and 300 yellow fever refugees from De-
catur, Ala. A large number left the
train at the smaller towns and have
scattered through the state. About
sixty came on to this city. Most of
these had relatives or friends, to whose
homes they went. A few went to
hotels, but did not register from De-
catur. One of the refugees was found
at the Louisville d. Nashville Office
and said: I'VE had to run the gaunt-
let through several places in the South
and had to conceal our identity in order
to escape being thrown in quarantine.
When we left Decatur there had been
four cases of fever reported and l
don't know how many have occurred
since then. For several days past
there has been rumorS there that the
scourage had broken out, but the
officers of the board of health believed
they could check the disease, and in
order to prevent panic suppressed the
facts. AS soon as it became known,
however, the
Widest EXCITEMENT PREVAILED
and all those who could leave the city
lost no time in doing so. There were
about $50 on the train i left on, but
they dropped off at points all along the
line, and not more than fifty came to
this city. "A terrible state of affairs
exists in all through Southern Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida.
Business is practically dead, visitors
shun the town, and half the homes are
deserted. The suffering people need all
the help and sympathy that can can be
extended to them"
All the health officers agree in saying
that there is not the slightest danger of
fever in this city. The doors of Louis
vile have never been closed against her
suffering neighbOrs of the South and
will not De on this occasion. The train
was stopped by Health Officer Gait at a
small station outside of Louisville, and
all baggage detained for fumigation.
The refugees agreed to report here to
DR.. Gait. There will be special meet
ing of the state board of health tO-mor-
row to consider the situation.

To Harvest Potatoes.

On the subject of harvesting potatoes
a Red Oak, To-, correspondent writes the
Farmers Review: They way dig po-
tatoes is with 14-inch pillow and put a
16-inch throwboard on lower box of
wagon, and have the team right
with you. Pick and throw direct into
wagon. To unload, l use screen
twelve or sixteen feet long with lath
bottom, and placed just so the potatoes
will run down it into bin or cellar, and
then unload with wire potato scoop,
which leaves the dirt in the wagon.
The small potatoes go through the
screen and can be gathered up for
hogs. Then take dirt shovel and
clean the wagon out. If potatoes are
run on floor or hard ground they can
be seooped with potato scoop into a
measure and put in sacks. This is the
most convenient way have found. A
good hand can bin sixty bushels in
day in this way, while l could never
get half that many done by picking in
buckets and baskets, or asserting and
sacking in field. | always assert the
small ones and take the smoothest and
best ones, the size of hens eggs, for
seed, until have enough, then all goes
for hogs.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 2l.-Many of
the bOOkmakers overreached themselves
to-day by holding out ''good things" in
two races, both of which failed to ma
ture. In the first race, Strideaway won
by half length from Robin, who led to

ond race to the last furiOng. when Com
edy and Hamlet came after her. Barnes
by hard work won, with Hamlet, by half
length, Comedy a poor third. The
event of the day was the Cash handi-
cap. MaTchma, who sold at 10 to l last
night, was never as good as even money
to-day, and many of the books held her
out entirely. After going mile she
gradually died away, and Panama, fol-
lowed by Julia l., took the lead. Half
way down the stretch Julia l. passed
Panama and coming on won easily by
three lengths. Bacchus was also held
out for a sure thing in the fourth race,
but Catalpa and Major milford had an
easy thing to run first and second re-
spectively. Catalpa led throughout. In
the fifth race Sun Light, Vesper Bells
and Sparkling ran in the order named
until the last furlOng. when Pee Wee
Ma came up with a rush and passed
Vesper Bells, but was not able to reach
Sun Light, who won handily by a length
and half.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 21.-The st. Paul
and Milwaukee teams played their last
game for the season this afternoon, the
visitors winning handily. Umpire
Quest proved very unsatisfactory to the
spectators, and they turned the grounds
into pandemonium at one period. Two
fumbIes by Walsh, one by McAleer and
three bona fide hitS by MOrriSSy, Pickett
and Earle gave st. Paul three runs in
the first inning. After this the Apostles
toyed with the locals and won as they
pleased. McAleer was the only man to
make a hit. The home team did
som sharp fielding at critical
points, else the MindesOtianS'
score would have been much larger.
Tuckerman'S tumble in the SiXthinning
gave Milwaukee two runs. CrOsSley had
started out with three strikes, and
Griffith took a base ON balls, HaweS
few out to short. and McAleer hit safe
and stole second. HaweS' grOunder
was fumbled by Tuckerman, and Grit

Prevent Refugees from Entering
Chattanooga.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 81
Chattanooga has instituted a most
stringent quarantine against all infected
points. No one is permitted to enter
the city on any of the nine railroads
without giving satisfactory account of
himself. Quarantine officers board
every train, and tifty-one are thus EN-
ployed. The city council has adopted
ordinances infiicting a fine of $500
on any person entering the
city from any infected district
A large reward is offered for the ap-
prehension and conviction of such Of
fender, and for the conviction of any
one harboring such refugee. The
Memphis 81 Charleston railroad trains
stopping at Decatur, or within twenty
miles on either side, are forbidden en-
trance to Chattanooga. Meridian, Miss,
was quarantined against tonight, owing
to the repOrt-that cases of yellow fever
have occurred there. Chattanooga is
enjoying the best of health, and the
city and county authorities are on the
alert and will go to any extreme to keep
refugees out of the city.
