a startling piece Of news 10 the wheat
growers OF North Dakota 70 find out on
the eve OF harvest that no elevator In the
state will store grain this year. This
radical change In the handling Of tho
crop has been kept ~ secret as possible.
II was determined upon, il Is said, soon
after the law was passed this year which
makes all public elevators and ware
houses pay m annual license OF 99.5O per
1900 bushels capacity. Nlno.tenths Of
the crop Of tho state has been heretofore
bought by the elevator companies upon
tho Duluth and Minneapolis quotations.
A hrmer could store his grain In these
elevators lor fifteen days for nothing and
keep Il in store az long AZ he desired TO
pay a small fee therefore.
Now the elevators will refuse thIs on
the ground that they are not public ele-
vators and the farmer who ls mortgaged
TO the ears will this year be compelled 20
sell his crop at whatever price the com
pany chooses 10 allow him. In most
cases this will leave him pennlless for
the winter. The law was supposed 10 be
a reasonable one, and was In the nature
Of tax not 80 easy 10 evade as the old
tax law proved, but the companies, In
order 10 evade II, will resort TO this
sweeping change, which will bring
misery on most OF the wheat growers OF
the state--a class OF men having from
fifty to 800 acres in grain, which repre-
sents all they have In the world, and
which now promises the first actual re-
turn for their lSbors In three years.
by the plan Of forcing private buyers
out OF che smallest stations and agreeing
upon a price, the principal elevators Of
the state will have a. in the past, Rbso-
Lutte control Of the enormous crop now
heading out. The crop will be 80 large
that the railroad companies have stated
that all the railroads combined cannot
furnish cars enough TO move them one
tenth as fast as is required. II the ele-
vators decline 10 store II the confusion
and dlsmay that will result will be some
thing unparalleled. OF course, the de-
mand for cars will be immensely In
creased. Farmers having no notice Of
the elevators action will not have time
to build bins or warehouses. They have,
as a rule, no gTanarles now and cannot
get money 10 buy lumber for new ones 10

The Jackson County Alliance met in
regular session July TO- After trans
acting some business the question Of
endorsing the Peoples party movement
came up for action. There was a motion
made and carried that the subject be de-
fered until July 2G, in the meantime the
delegates were to go back to their re-
spective sub-AlIiances, lay the subject Of
Peoples party before them and come
back fully instructed on that point. The
result was that there were one-hundred
delegates instructed for and twenty-nine
against a Peoples ticket, II was then
moved TO make il unanimous. There
were but six dissenting votes The above
action includes a county Congressional

Frank James Advice to Riders.

When a man rides along the streets
on horseback, with his feet crowded
into the stirrups of the saddle until the
front of the heel is caught by the bot
tom Of the stirrup, people are apt to
look at him and say he does not know
how to ride. They will declare that
the proper style is to rest the ball of
the foot on the stirrups with the toes
turned inward. That is English, you
know, but it is not the style in which
cowboys or long distance riders carry
themselves. I can give as my authority
for this latter statement Frank James,
who in rather adventurous career, GER
tainly did some long and hard riding.
We were talking about the proper seat
Of an equestrian while he was on trial at
Gallatin several years ago, and he said /:
Il have no doubt that the English
seat is all right for park purposes, but
should you ever desire to put forty
miles between yourself and given
point before sun-up next morning you
will find it best to push your feet into
the stirrups ss far as they will 90, sit
back in the saddle in such war that
your feet are braced against the stirrups,
which will be pushed forward, and then
let her go. ST. Louis Globe-Demo-

express train of the near future will in
all probability contain one or more
powerful motors on. the axis of its
drivers, and aggregating perhaps 1000
horsepower as normal output. It will
be lighted and heated by electricity.
The track over which it will run will be
straight and smooth, like the great En-
glish trunk lines of to-day. The train
will start smoothly into motion, fly
along the track at the rate of 100 miles
an hour or more, and stop quickly and
easily by applying its electric brakes.
An automatic block system will be
used that will secure perfect control Of
the trains and almost absolute immun-
ity from collisions.

THE ceremony of choosing President
in San Marino-the smallest republic
in the world, having a population of
only eight thousand inhabitants-is
thus described by an eye witness. The
two presidents still in Office donned
their official costumes and drove to the
principal church of San Marino. They
were accompanied by all the officials of
the republic as well as by big band
of regimental music. At the church a
big throne had been erected at the side
of the altar, and on it the Presidents
took their places. The clergy then
chanted the "Veni Creator" and slips
of paper, containing the names of the
sixty members of the Grand Council
were placed by priest in silver urn.
From these slips a child then selected
two, which the priest read aloud. A
hymn was then sung, bells were rung,
and the simple ceremonial was at an
end. 1t is an open question whether
this wise little republic, with its tran
quill means of procedure and entire re-
lance upon chance, has not solved the
problem which has for centuries caused
agitation among nations.
