The Concensus of Opinion Is for a
Big Harvest.
AS the summer progresses and the
prospects for glowing harvest grow
brighter day by day, less is heard of the
unpromislng representations of the
wheat crop. All such alarming stories
of the crop outlook will grow less and
less. There never was more reassur-
ing condition of things for the agri-
cuturist than there is to-day, and
with anything like reasonable weather
the long line of disastrous seasons will
be capped by one of the best wheat har-
vests that the states of Minnesota and
South Dakota have witnessed. The
samples of the crop which have got
into st. Paul are exceedingly fine. The
Milwaukee Office had yesterday an eX-
cellent specimen of wheat and oats
grown at Eureka, in Dakota, and ac-
companying it was the statement: ga

been obtained for a number of years.
The crops at Bntterfeld have greatly

IN DOG DAYS.

Secretary Bertram was the sole occu-
pant yesterday of the office Of the state
dairy commission, and the result was
his spirits were very low. He attempted
to be gay, but it was a miserable fail
ure, so he rounded off into a prolonged
dissertation on dogs. He has strong
antpathy to the canine tribe. If he was
grand mOgul of the state for one day his
first duty after drawing his salary
would be to issue an edict for the ire
moval" of every dog in the country.
This singular trait in MIR. Bertram'S
otherwise broad views dates back to an
early period Of his life.
When seven years old. young Ber-
tram attended school at small village
in Kings county. New York. The scho-
lastic establishment was some distance
from his home, and it was necessary,
when attending school, for him to take
his dinner, which he would eat in the
open. One day he was preparing to
partake dinner, and was seated on a
chunk of wood at the roadside. Some
thing attracted his attention, and care
leSsly laying down the food he began to
reccOnnOiter. When absent a little dog
stole the dinner. The boy was mad
when he found out his loss; he raved
and almost frothed at the mouth for he
felt almost furnishing, and must wait
four hours before the pangs of hunger
could be appeased. The experience of
those long weary hours have never
deem effaced from Bertram'S memory
in fact there is still yet pinched eX-
preston OH his face-and dogs and
everything doggy find in him mortal

A SPLENDID RECORD.

Gen. B. r. COWen and wife, of Cincin
nati, are at the Portland on Broadway,
the guests of their son, B. S. Cowen and
wife. Gen. Cowen is not yet by any
means an old man, but he is neverthe-
less an old-time newspaper man and
politician. He was an active Repubii-
can when that party started. When
the war broke out he enlisted as pri-
vate in an Ohio regiment, leaving his
position as clerk of the state house of
representatives to do so. At the close
of the war he was adiutant general of
Ohio, which position he held for a
couple of years later. Under Grant he
was assistant secretary of the interior
for six years, and later returned to his
early love, taking editorial charge of
the Ohio State Journal at Columbus.
During the last five years he has been
clerk Of the United States courts for
the Southern district of Ohio. He has
many friends in this city and in the
Northwest who will regret his depart
ure to-day for the Yellowstone.
Gen. COwen was several times on the
Republican national committee from
Ohio, and managed numerous CAM
paigns in that state as chairman of the
state committee. In fact, he was in
politics-State and national-for nearly
a quarter of century, but during that
whole time he never made a political
speech, although writing continually
and in the strongest manner, being
known as one of the best editorial
writer's in the newspaper profession.
Within the past few years, however, he
has taken to the platform and is enter
tanning the people of Ohio, at rare in
tergals, with choice orations and adj
dresses, for the preparation of which
his experience and ability have well
fitted him. Mrs. Cowan is a sister of
Bishop Thoburn, of India, of the NJ. E.
church, and is herself corresponding
secretary of the Cincinnati branch of
the w. F. M. S., of that church.

Judge Burr Takes Decisive Steps
in a Larceny Case.

There were few cases of more than
passing interest in the municipal court
yesterday morning. II. O'Connor, the
young man who skipped to Duluth and
was arrested there with small stock OF
rugs and albums belonging to William
Corben, a st. Paul instalment dealer,

was no appearance against him. Not
believing in making the court collec-

the case until this morning,
and issued a capias against
the complainants. Edgar Carver. ac-

A DISTINCTION.

The hotels of the city were well filled
yesterday. The registers of the Ryan,
Merchants, Clifton, Windsor and CIar-
endon contained the names of many of
the best-known horsemen in the coun-
try, and there was evidence of number
less pleasure parties from the state gen.
orally and from the states of Dakota,
Wisconsin and Iowa, and one or two
from the afar away Northwest territory.
They were all determined to see the
races, and in the afternoon there
was a long line of equipages
leading from the nostelries to the union
depot. The Merchants corridors pre-
sented the liveliest appearance in the
evening. when the days events were
discussed in racy style. The crowd was
a different one to that often times gath
cred in the corridors of the old hotel,
but there was not one whit difference
in regard to the amount of Doodle which
was being distributed around. In this
case it was for the honorable discharge
Of debts, and that cannot be said for the
politician who barriers away his vote for
mere filthy gold.

Is IT MURDER?

The Arm of Man Found in the

men.
Officers of the Ducas street police sta
ton are puzzled over strange find
made by Patrolman Ringwald shortly
after o'clock last night. 1t is mans
right arm, badly decomposed, which
was found i'll the shoal water under the
Wabasha street bridge, near the west
bank of the river. The member had
apparently been cut from the body
close to the shoulder. Deputy Coroner
Lewis was notified. but could make
nothing OF the mystery, joining with
the officers in imagining possibilities,
from fiendish crimes to simple careless
ness on the part of surgeons or medical
students. The arm is still at the police
station.

PRONUNCIATION.
A Murderer Who Will Swing to
Chimes Unknown

n MufuefeP VINO w III swing TO
Chimes Unknown.
There is to be another judicial hang
ing in the state, the supreme court hav-
ing dismissed the appeal of Thomas
Brown, the MOorhead police murderer.
Brown was to have swung the 10Th of
June, but Attorney Crum secured stay
of execution from the supreme court
upon the plea of error by the trial
court. The plea simply brought up the
question as to whethe there was
generalization on Browns part
in committing the crime he
was charged with. and which
must be established to prove murder in
the first degree. The victim was COM
ing to the rescue of a fellow policeman,
when Brown turned around and shot
him dead. 1t was claimed that there
was no generalization in this act; but,
by the decision of the appellate court,
it is held that the Offense of murder in
the first degree may be proved by the
mere fact of the killing and the attend.
ant circumstances. The law can not
define the length of time within which
the determination to murder or to COM
nit the unlawful act resulting in death
must be formed. Brown must there
fore hang, and the duty will again fall
upon Gov. Merriam to fix the date for
his departure from things terrestrial to
whatever cline he has fitted himself to
enter.

Twenty million dollars is the assessed
valuation of the personal property held
by the citizens of st. Paul, according to
the report made by Assessor Harroun
to the board of equalization yesterday.
The actual value of this property is
greatly in excess of that figure. The
assessor is necessarily conservative in
placing valuations, and his figures are
always considerably below the actual
value of the property assessed. Tile
aim of the assessor is not to exaggerate
values. but to keep them as low as
possible and treat all property holders
fairly and equally. The following
table shows the assessed valuation of
personal property in the city and

methods. He is the general superin-
tendent of the international Sunday
school institute. In speaking of this
institute, which has nOtyet had years
growth, he says that the institute
has been organized in nine states,
and ere he leaves Minnesota he
hopes to have it firmly established
here. The institute takes the place
with Sunday schools which normal

out on the veranda of the hotel. He was
informed that the Y. NJ. C. A. boys

did not open until this evening. There
are, however some hundreds of people
scattered about in tents and cottages
awaiting the opening of these services,
which take place this evening. Miss
