IN THE STORMS PATH.
A Dakota Village Almost Wiped
Out.

Special to the Globe.
WATERFOWL, S. D., July s.-During
a wind and hail storm last night the
village of Kranzburg, seven miles east
of Watertown, was almost wiped out.
The storm swept over strip of terri
tory four miles wide and six miles long,
and all crops in the strip were totally
destroyed. Van Dusen's elevator and
the Porter Milling company's ware
house were demolished. The roof of
the Kranzburg house was torn off. P.
Lintner's barn was damaged $500 worth.
Joseph Woaxselbaum's blacksmith shop
was blown down, and is total wreck.
Mr.. Woaxselbaum was in the building
at the time. and was probably fatally in
jured. Joseph Tlrhler's house, barn
and granery were wrecked. Loss,
$1,000. Dr.. Nickinney's barn was
damaged $500 worth. Harrison
Franklin house and barn blown down;
loss 81, 200; Joseph Newby's new house
was wrecked: loss $500; Buckeyes barn
blown down; loss $500. Nearly every
house and all the barns in the neigbor
hood were wrecked or damaged. The
total damage will amount to $4,000,
while the damage to crops will be over
100000. At Bean Siding, station on
the Minneapolis & st. Louis road,
warehouse was blown down. The
Methodist church at Waverly was
wrecked. Many people were made poor
and homeless by the storm, which was
not severe in WatertOWn.

FAME's COMPENSATION.

The irony of fate never had sadder
exemplifieation than in the case of the
widow of MILLET, the painter, whose
famous picture sold in Paris the other
day for $4,000. MILLET died poor,
and his widow is now in abject poverty.
Her little cottage at Barbizon, where
the artist lived and worked, was sold a
few days ago to satisfy mortgage
which she was unable to pay. 1t is
disgrace to the French government that
thousands of dollars should have been
appropriated from the public treasury
to pay for MILLET's picture and not
one dollar appropriated to keep the
wolf from the door of the artists widow.
1t would have at least have been a
graceful act on the part of the French
patrons of art to have contributed
enough to have bought in the widows
home and to have donated it to her.

ALL QUIET an DULUTH.
There Is No Fears of Further
Trouble With the Strikers.

Trouble With the strikers.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, MIMI, July S.-The highly
colored reports sent out from Duluth
regarding the status of the strike, make
pretty reading, but unfortunately lack
the element of truth. There has been
no dynamite found by officials, nor is it
likely there will be for the very good
reason that one of the first acts of the
contractors last Tuesday was to stow
their stock where it would be reason
ably safe from discovery. The police
are ready for any emergency, but as in
dlcated IN these dispatches yesterday
there IS little likelihood that they will
ne called upon again. Adjt. Gen.
TINS afternoon to further assure
citizens that the entire state militia
was at their disposal if needed. He in
spected the police department, and COM

Capt. Mclaughlin and the entire force
upon their prompt and efficient action
Saturday. Company K has been on
duty at the armery all day, while the
board OF trade room was converted into
a temporary arsenal, the members hav-
ing organized and placed themselves at
the disposal of the authorities. Bust
ness was almost entirely suspended, al
though the town was never more quiet
and orderly than it has been during to-
day. Mayor Sutphin this morning is
sued a proclamation forbidding the con-
gregating of crowds. and ordering all
saloons closed until further notice.
While further trouble is possible, Of
course, the police have been patroling
the city all day, and have failed to dis
cover anything indicating it. The con-
dition of the injured is much the same.
There have been no new deaths.

TO THE FARMERS.

In the belief that the state fair con-
stitutes the most available method of
making widely known the great variety
and excellence of the industrial pro-
auctions of the state, President BUSH
NELL. of the state agricultural aSsocia-
ton. has addressed circular letter, and
with it series of questions, to the
farmers of Minnesota, asking their per-
Sonal cooperation in an effort to make
the next fair success, and to furnish
such information concerning the re-
sources of each county as to make it
valuable data for future reference. 10
this end Mr.. BUSHNELL desires to have
a description of the topography of each
county. the character of the soil, what
proportion is timbered and what is
prairie, how watered and the number
of lakes, the varieties of trees, shrub
berry, fruits, berries, what has been done
in the way of tree planting, the average
yield to the acre of the staple crops and
vegetables, the breeds of live stock
most prevalent, the percentage of loss
of all animals from disease or exposure.
Farmers are invited to give their opinion
as to which is the most profitable, grain
growing or stock raising; statistics re-
lating to dairy products and poultry
are asked for; the prices of land, i'm
proved and unimproved, the rate of
taxation in each county, and the pro-
portion CT new settlers that are coming
in. 1t is the intention of the officers of
the association to have the information
thus obtained conveniently arranged by
counties for reference and kept in the
Office of the society for public use.
The farmers of the state can readily
see that this bureau of information in
connection with the state fair associa-
ton will be of great service to persons
seeking a location, and at the same time
be a material benefit to the several
counties. Thus they should be ready
and prompt to respond to President
BUsHNELL's inquiries by filling up the
blanks which he will furnish them. and
returning them to Secretary DENNY at
Hamline. 1t will take very little time
for each farmer to perform this service,
and yet it Will be valuable to the state
at large and to his community in par
ticular.

CONSTITUTION MAKING.

There is very general discussion in
the press of the country OF the special
features understood to be in coutempla-
ton in framing the constitutions of the
four new states, and there will be con-
siderable disappointment if commune
ties understood to be exceptionally in
dependent and progressive fail to get
out of the ancient ruts in some impor-
tant matters. South Dakota has tied its
hands, and will formally ratify an in
strument that has many excellent pro-
visions, but little that is not familiar to
the states. 1t is expected that it will
adopt prohibition, although the drift in
the states is in the other direction. and
be apt to reject minority representa-
ton as matter of partisanship. North
Dakota attracts more attention than
either of the other territories on ac-
count of the reported disposition
to try the single house system
of legislation. Montana is understood
to have in view some special provisions
in regard to labor interests, and Wash
ington is prejudiced against private de-

HITCHCOCK'S TULIPS.
The Runaway Artists Picture
That Made His Reputation.

The American painting galleries, to a
resident of Paris, says Paris letter,
offer fine retrospective view of works
done by resident painters.
Hitchcock is here with his famous
"Culture of Tulips" 1t is certainly a
very fine thing. 1t is stamped with the
seal of talent throughout. Had the
painter showed me pencil sketch of
it before its execution in painting
wonld have plainly told him he was in
sane to try to make long lines of all
white tulips, then yellow. then lilac; it
would be monotonous daub. Well, it
is a gem. The woman, standing stiff
among the stiff blossoms, with her quiet
Holland cap and dress so rich and haF-
mOniOus in color, is not precisely the
woman you would find in a patch of
tulips, but she fits it nevertheless.
There is Northern auSterity. and at
the same time such graceful feminili-
ity in the woman that l wonder she
hasn't inspired poets. The house, al
though humble and matched, tells of a
certain economical affiuence, and its
yerdant surroundings show that il
tulips may be cultivated in monotonous
patches, the cultiyators can give ex-
preston to grace in trailing vines and
scented bushes.
But this picture is three years old. and
where is its successor? There is none.
Many took it for granted that the artist
by this time would be hors concoursA
that his works would, after that one,
force the salon jury to recognize and
reward him, and the Americans would
at last have representative stand next
to the best French painters.
would be the first one to say the
jury is Indifferent or jealous If Hitch
cock had continued to exhibit good
works. But you could hardly have told
them if they had not been signed. They
were skyed at the salon. and now that
comparison can be made with the
Culture of Tulips" no one but, per
haps, the painter himself can say they
deserved better place.

NEW INDIAN COMMISSIONERS.

1t is conceded that JOHN II. OBERLY,
best known in Illinois as Bishop
OBERI.Y, made an Indian commissioner
that the most partisan criticism could
not touch; but he was removed to illus
trate the -partisanship of the presi-
dent. His successor is an eXhumed
warrior from Rhode Island, whose rec
ord is matter of more interest from
the claim that HARRISON fills no i'm
portant position until he has fully in
vestigated and pleased himself. This
MORGAN was assigned to the command
of the Fourteenth colored infantry, and
the war records show that he was in
1865 the subject of court martial,
which unanimously found him guilty of
the charges, and sentenced him to dis
missal from the service. The charges
involved acts of dishonesty and dis
honor, as, for instance, making false
musters of companies for pecuniary adj
vantage making false charges against
other officers. The Indian commissioner
should be one able to distinguish an In
dian from Chinaman, and who had
never been detected in raScality.

YANKToN, OAK, July S.-Henry R.
Hague, who claimed to have been
robbed of $4,000 in Minneapolis, ar
rived in Yankton, Dec. % last, coming
here from Plankinton, Oak. He is a
blacksmith by trade. At the latter

they came to Yankton where PrieStly

upon the market, but he had no money.
He therefore proposed to Hague that

of this story he ran board bill at the

He also became engaged to waitress
at the restaurant; sold some mort
gagged house moving appliances
and skipped out about six weeks ago
and his partner has heard nothing from
him since. He left an unpaid board bill
at the Farmers Home hotel amounting
to $26, and neglected to liquidate other
small accounts. In the foundry here
are some patterns upon which he had
written his name, Hague. Priestly says
he went to Plankinton short time

SHREWD PATRIOTISM,

The directors of the Hoboken bank
spent the Fourth of July in a more
profitable way than going off on a pic
mic or putting in their time at viewing
popcrackers. While the cashier was
off celebrating the national holiday in
conventional style, the directors were
at work overhaulins the bank books, and
were rewarded for their selt-abnegation
by finding shortage in the cashiers
accounts of .000-which might have
grown to a still larger amount if they
had INDUCED in the usual Fourth of
July patriotism. AS it was, the de-
faulting cashier had no opportunity to
skip for Canada with his effects. He
was bagged the moment he returned
from his picnic excursion: and in the
meantime the bank directors had taken
the precaution to secure an attachment
on what property he owned, and thus
saved the bank from losses.

THE FIRST REGIMENT

Special to the Globe.
LAKE CITY, July S.-The First regi-
ment, which is expected to reach here
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, will
find the quarters in apple-pie order.
The new sleeping tents will just hold
four cots, and not an inch to
spare. They are, however, neat
and clean, except where some
few miscreants of the Second or Third
regiment have disfgured them with
pencil marks. Nearly all the commits
sary squads are here and on duty at the
cooking tents, preparing for the NOR
rows dinner. Company G. of Red
Wing. fOrty-five strong, arrived at $50
this evening on the steamer Percy
Swain. Capt. Betcher was in
command. They were accompanied
by Maj. Pierce, whom every man
his arrival it is safe to assume that
there will be no drones in camp to-mor-
row morning. Lieut.. Williams, super
intendent of rife practice; Maj. FitZ-
gerald, regimental surgeon, and Lieut..
Olander, quartermaSter of the artillery,
are here. Target practice will begin
Wednesday morning at 6 O'Clock, last
ing until each day. The hours of II
to IL a. IN. and 80 to p. m. will be
also occupied at the range.
Battalion drill will exercise the boys
from $50 to 1890, and other events of
the camp routine will be about the
same time as last year.
A steady, light rain has been falling
this afternoon and evening, laying the
dust and cooling the sultry atmosphere.
