That the Dakotas arc able to present
such summary in a year exceptionally
bad is due to peculiarities Of soil and
climate which seemingly exist nowhere
else. The marked climatic changes,
especially the increase of moisture,
which, in accordance with Il bcnetccnt
law of nature. follows settlement, Will
remedy most of the disadvantages under
which the Dakota farmer labors, while
the establishment of cheap and effective
systems of irrigation from artcsian wells
will rgely reduce the hazards of agri-
culture and make the Dakotas q region
of certain crops. When such wonders
are accomplis he'd under such conditions
speculation opens wide field as to the
future.
The present is the last crop report to
be issued by the commissioner of immi-
grafton of Dakota territory. III his
labors to put forth full and accurate re-
ports he has been greatly aided by the
cooperation of a large corps of CORE

What is the condition of the times when
we may justly and fairly exalt the mem

FoRr DODGE, Ia, Oct. 1.-THE large
livery barn of oxby Bros, at Corwith,
Ia. was totally destroyed by fire yester-
day morning. Six horses, including a
$l5, 900 stallion, were roasted in the
flames. The origin of the fire is
shrouded in mystery. Although the
barn was occupied by two men, neither
of whom can be found, it is not thought
that they were cremated, as a careful
examination of the embers thus far fails
to reveal any traces of them. At last
adyices they had not turned up. aud
their mysterious disappearance is caus-
ing considerable conjecture. The total
loss will exceed $1,000.

CnIcAGo, Oct. 12.-It is almost certain
that a special jury win be called in con-
nection with the Cronin murder case
this afternoon. 1t leaked ont this morn.
ing that two deputy sheriifs are in GUS
tody and they will be promptly indicted
for interfering with justice in selecting
the jury to try the prisoners indicted fof
DIR. Cronin's murder, 1t is claimed these
two deputies, whose names will be soon
made public, were supplied with money
by the anti-Cronin factions and they
gave this money to certain jurors and
instructed them how to answer ques-
tions and secure seats in the jurors box.
The two suspected bailiffs and three
men, one of whom was to have gotten
on the jury for the purpose of hanging
! it, were kept at the South Side sta.
ton last night and viii be in
court this afternoon. Chief Hubbard
said today, speaking of the ali night
conference of the prosecutions: ''The
basis of the whole thing was an attempt
to corrupt the jury and we have the
whole crowd dead to rights. We have
information enough to enable us to clear
the whole thing up and bring the guilty
| parties to justice"
Tho prospects of sensational develop
ments in the Cronin trial drew big
crowd to the court room at l o'clock.
The prisoners whom brought in appeared
more anxious and nervous than usual
and tidgetcd uneasily in their seats
Judge Mcconnell at once announced
that matters connected with the states
| attorneys office demanded urgent at
tention and in consequence the
court would stand adjourned until Mon
day morning. He added that the prob.
abilities were that special matters re
lating to the case might occupy tht
courts attention at the morning session
and consequently would set the examin
alton of the venire for o'clock. Th,
defense offered no objection and it wa!
generally understood the especial natter
referred to by the Judge related to the
alleged attempt of jury fixing on the
part of the bailiffs.
