An almost incredible story has been YER
ifed at Topeka, Kansas, and Miss Carrie
Hill, u young woman IL years old, whose
family is highly respectable. is under ar
rest for wholesale stealing. Four weeks
ago she got II clorkship in Halmon & Co.'s

since then she has not only robbed them
repeatedly. but has carried away with her
three wagon loads Of goods worth SO, 600.
which were found in her room and identi-
fed by the firm. A year ago she clerked q
week or two for Bernheimer & Lewis, and
in the late search several hundred dollars

b the Dakotas are able to present
such Q summary in q year exceptionally
bad is due to peculiarities Of soil and cli-
mate which seemingly exist nowhere else.
The marked climatic changes, especially the
increase Of moisture which In accordance
with . beneicent law Of nature follows
settlement, will remedy most of the disad-
ventages under which the Dakota farmer
labors. while the establishment Of cheap
and effective systems of irrigation from
artesian wells will largely reduce the haz-
ards Of agriculture and make the Dakotas
. region Of certain crops. When such
wonders are accomplished under such con-
ditions speculation opens a wide field as to
the future.
The present is the last crop report to be
issued by the commissioner Of immiera.
ton Of Dakota territory. In his labors to
put forth fvll and accurate reports he has
been greatly aided by the corporation Of
. large corps Of correspon tents and the
press Of the territory, to whom he embraces
this opportunity to return thanks for their
valuable assistance and to express q hone.
in which they will doubtlessly HEARTILY
concur, that the future chroniclers Of the
crop histories Of North Dakota and South
Dakota may find an even moro favorable
account to give Of their respective regions.

The Fall Elections.

The political news from the states in
which elections will be held next Tuesday
is rather favorable to the democrats. They
have good reasons for thinking that the
result of the baloting will show that they
are steadily gaining ground. The excellent
record which Mr. Cleveland made as Presi-
dent is having a very good effect, while the
republicans are not entirely satisfied with
President Harrison's administration. The
democrats are making vigorous campaigns
in Ohio New York, New Jersey, and Vir-
GINA They may not carry either Ohio or
New York, but il they do not the result
will be very close. In Ohio they are very
confident of electing their candidate for
governor, and it would not be at all sur
prising if they should secure a majority of
the legislature. The republicans are re-
ported to be somewhat dispirited. They
have made some serious blunders, which
have leSseued their chances for success.
The great fight is being made in Vir-
ginia. The Republican party is making
an extraordinary effort to get control of
that state, and the administration is doing
all it can TO assist it. The republican leaders
in Virginia are in constant consultation
with the leaders of the national Republican
party, and the assertion is freely made that
an immense amount of money is being sent
to the state, TO be used injecting the blacks
to go TO the polls and vote the republican
ticket. A few days ago the republican
newspapers circulated the story that the
democrats had little hope of carrying the
state, and that Senator Barbour had init
mated that his party was as good as beaten.
OF course there was TO foundation for this
story. Senator Barbour knows the state
thoroughly, and in Washington, a day or
two ago, he gave it as his opinion that the
democratic majority would be at least
10000.
The democrats are making very popular
campaign in both Massachusetts, and Penn
sylvania. They expect to greatly reduce
the usual republican majorities in those
states In Massachusetts, the tariff is play
ing quite a conspicuous part in the political
discussions. The farmers are beginning to
be doubtful whether they haven't been
making mistakes in adhering to the repub-
lican doctrine of high tariff.
In Mississippi and Maryland the demo.
Gratis will be successful, while in Iowa and
Nebraska the republicans will of course
elect their ticket. There is not much doubt
from present indications that all the cleo
tions will show decided democratic gains.

that he had not been listening to an innocent
