Reports From Various LOcali-
ties Say the Yield Will be
Less Than Anticipated.

Blight.

John VanDuseu, the big farmer Of
Kidder county, states that blight is do
ing great deal of injury to the wheat,
and the expectations of general big
crop will not in his opinion be realized.
There are few heads of wheat that are
entirely sound. This is caused blythe
hot weather of two weeks ago. He
states that in careful examination of Q
good many fields yesterday (he found
that wheat looks we'll, but when it is
closely examined it shows the bad effects
Of the rapid growth and hot weather.
The nights have not been cool enough for
the berry and the quality will not be
what was anticipated. Still there will
be many fields that will yield we'll, and
farmers are feeling pretty good.
Uncle John relates a new boom story.
Last fall it was too dry to plough back
for wheat an3 he waited until spring.
Rains did not come in Kidder county
until June LIST, and SO no ploughing was
done at all and not bushel Of wheat
sown on the Troy farm. There were
600 acres of the old crop which had been
partly cut with header last year, but
most of it was too short to be reached.
This field has sprouted since the rains
this spring and now presents fine ap-
pearance, so me places promising to yield
25 bushels to the acre. This remark
able fact Isl pointed to as an additional
evidence of the fertility and resources of
the state.
Complaints of lack OF moisture have
come in rom several points on the james,
town & Nofthern not visited by the rains
as frequently as in this locality. It is said
that a gobd deal Of the Darlington &
Casey farm is needing moisture. The
crop ID now in critical condition.
Without frost or general disaster from
rust and blight, much of the grain will
pull through, but the extremely large
yield win not be had that was looked for
earlier il the season. Assessor Flint,
who has been travelling over the south
ern part bf Ransom county, reports the
crop thelre as greatly damaged by the
hot weather. They have had enough
rain, buf4the grain looks small and
stunted. "

IN WORKING ORDER.

The North Dakota Experiment
Station at Fargo..-t'lan of the Sea.
sons Work.
The organization and establishment of
the experiment station Of North Dakota
should be matter Of more than ordl-
nary interest to the people of the state.
The bulletins that will be issued from
the station giving the results of the work
OF the specialists IN charge will be sent
to the newspapers and liberal publica-
ton of them ought to be made.
The station is now in operation with
government funds for meeting the ex-
penses. The Offices of the station CON-
prise director aud two assistants. DR..
S. T. Satterthwaite is the director: james
Holes and Jacob Lowell, assistants.
The plan of the board for this season
is to gather and classify the natural
grasses and noxious weeds of the state;
to chemically examine and classify the
soil of the state. The station has plant
ed and is cultivatlng several varieties of
wheat, ensilage, corn, sugar beets and
ten different varieties OF grass seed for
fodder and pasture. A botanist has been
engaged and in few days will be at
work in the field. A chemist also will
soon be employed to examine and classi.
fy the soil in various parts of the state.
Parties desirous of knowing the con-
stituents of the soil in their neighbor-
hood can send samples OF the same to
the office for chemical examination.
Noxious weeds or specimens of grasses
can be sent in for classification and
will receive prompt attention.

upon being placed upon his horse, and
was led to the front, amid cheers from the

VIII Not Run an Excursion.
The proposed excursion to the zoologi-
cal Garden, Philadelphia, by Major G. A.
Angel Post, No. 20, g. A. r., OF this city,
advertised to take place on the 18th inst. ,
has been indefinitely postponed, owing to
the fact that the Pennsylvania r. r. Com
pany wanted the Post to buy their engine,
cars and tracks, and also pay $500 or
$500 additional for the purpose OF going
to the Zoo, and, after oil this, the Post
could have the balance Of money remain
ing over! By their terms they required Of
the Post deposit OF $50, the frat $500
worth Of tickets sold, and then the Post
could have the munifccnt sum OF fifteen
cents for each additional passenger car
ried. To back up to Stockton with one
or two cars would cost the Post further
sun, and it would be impossible to stop
AZ Warren street, Trenton, but they would
accommodate the Post by stopping Of
Moore's Station Under the circum-
stances the Post very wisely concluded to
run no excursion this year, but will
patiently wait until next Summer and
then visit tho Zoo over the new North
East Penn. Road in Pennsylvania.

Wood, was instantly killed, being caught
under the engine and the fireman, Ewing
w. Tibbels, was 80 seriously injured by

that he died few hours thereafter at the
Episcopal Hospital, TO which he had been
taken.
Mr.. Tibbels was the son OF ]. @. lib
bells. formerly of this city, and resided
here for several years. He was for some
time employed in the superintendent Of
fee Of the Belvidere Division, and left
that position two or three months ago to
take the situation 10 Philadelphia in which
he lost his life. He married about two
months ago Lille, daughter OF Henry

terrain Church in this city last Monday af-
ternoon. A large delegation of railroad
men from philadelphia were present. In
terment in Holcombe Review Cemetery.
We have received from Rev. q. II.
Woolston, of Philadelphia. a letter respect
ing Mr. Tibbels' death from which we
make the following extracts:
81 thought 1t might be OF interest to
you and your paper to say respecting the
death OF Fireman Z. w. Tibbels, that as
soon as l learned of the accident ! hasten
ed 10 the hospital TO see him, but was just
little TOO late--hc was dead. 10 talking
with the doctor, learned that he suffered
greatly, mostly from the burns Of escaped
steam. He prayed for death to relieve
him from his agony.
"Tbe watcbman OF Cramps Shipyard,
where the accident occurred, said that
when he arrived at the spot, young Tib-
bells was under the engine and deluged
With steam and hot water and that he
asked the Waterman 10 give him some
thing to put under his head, which was
done at once. Soon after be was rescued
by one OF the officers Of the 18th District,
who is member OF my church.
"Poor boy, as looked upon bis dead
face In the hospital, recollections Of my
life 10 Lambertville came thick and fast
and I remembered how he marched with
my Kindergarten children elk years
ago."
