woo have been giving special attention to
crop prospects, that North Dakota will
have 50 per cent. of a full crop this year.
Another meeting of the association will be

Gathering Consolation from History.
The Bismarck Tribune philosophically
remarks In various parts of Dakota
there are complaints of excessive hot
weather. lack of rain and parched ground.
But after all the drouth in Dakota has
been very slight in the light of history.
1t is recorded that in 1903 and 1904 the
Rhine, Loire and Seine ran dry. The
heat in several French provinces during
the summer of l705 was equal to that Of a
glass furnace. Meat could be cooked by
merely exposing it to the sun. Not a soul
dare venture out between noon and 4
o'clock, and thousands were Frustrated.
In IT'S many shops had to close ana the
theaters did not open their doors for three
months. Not drop Of water fell during
to lis degrees. In IT'S t.se heat of Be-
logna was SO great that hundreds of peo-
pie persisted i'll their houses. People took
refuge under the ground. In 1883 in our
own country every queen thing in many
localities was burned up, fruit dried on
the trees and the furniture and wook work
OF houses cracked and split.

the head of plot to march upon Eiysee
place, and that several officers of high
rank had promised him support. Gen.

Bloody Tragedy In Massachusetts.
Augustus Rosenberg has been living
with Mrs. Catherine Smith about year
as her husband, at Somervi]le, near Bos-
ton, but the general belief is that they
were not married. 1t is supposed that a
quarrel over financial affairs was the
cause of the tragedy enacted the other
night. The neighbors were aroused at l
O'CLOCK by number of pistol shots. The
police entered the front door and found
Mrs. Smith and one son dead, andtwo other
children fatally wounded. Mrs. Smith
was found in bed. and the indications
were that she was shot while asleep.
Rosenberg, who did the shooting, jumped
from window. His dead body was found
500 feet from the scene 1t bore no wound
and from the froth at the mouth it is
supposed that be either died in a tit or by
poison.

a Sensation In Anderson.

An affair of unusual occurrence has
come to public attention in Anderson dur
ing the past few days, and while we are
10th to give publicity to such unpleasant
transactions, still as the matter has already
gone to the world through several daily
papers, in our own interest and in the in
terest of our patrons, we deem it advisa-
BILE to give the facts as We have been able
to ascertain them.
For the past ten years Col. j. W. Trow-
bridge has been doing business in Ander-
son as a Merchant Broker, and as such
received consignments of goods by the car
load, which he would dispose of to his GUS
toners. The shipper would send the bill
of lading attached to draft on the con-
sigaee to the National Bank, which would
collect the money and surrender the bill of
lading to the party paying the draft, Whc
would then present 1t to the Railroad
Agent and receive from him the goods
called for by it. Mr.. Trowbridge has been
doing an extensive business with our
merchants, and the greater portion of his
goods wers shipped over the Savannah
Valley Railroad. Being th2 cotton
weigher at this depot during the cotton
season, and very intimate friend Of the
Agent, Mr.. L. P Smith, Col. Trowbridge
was in and about The Office greater por-
tion Of h;a time, and for his convenience
and accommodation Ms. Smith had ar
ranged special files for his (Trowbrldge'sj
bills Of lading, freight bills, etc. Every.
thing has worked smoothly until few
weeks ago, and 1t is charged now that Mr.
Trowbridge has. obtained possession of
several car loads of goods by representing
to Mr.. Smith that he had the bills of lad.
ing in bis possession, or had filed them
in their proper place in the depot, and Mr..
Smith, having such implicit confidence in
him, would let him have them on such
representations. which, Mr.. Smith says,
were not true.
Mr.. Smith says that the first intimation
he received that there was something
wrong came through the Bank, and, as
soon as he could make an investigation, be
discovered that he was responsible to the
RAILROAD company to the amount of about
$500. 1le at once approached Col. Trow-
bridge, who acknowledged what he had
done, and at the same time told him that
he had not only ruined himself financially
but Mr. Smith also.
Of course, the Railroad Company..is re-
sponsible for the goods, and they hold
