SHORT FLAX CROP,
But the Price Promises to Be
Very High.

Special 10 the Glope-
GLENDALE, N. D., Aug. 26.-Most of
the flax in Dickey, Sargent, Brown,
Ransom, LaMoure, Mcintosh, Stutsman
and Barnes counties has been cut. The
present week will practically close har-
vest operations in this region. The
yield of fax is equally disappointing
with that of wheat. The acreage in
some of these counties, particularly
Dickey, is the largest ever SOwn, but
the crop deprecated almost to the point
of total failure during the intensely hot
weather between July l5 and Aug. Is.
In the estimates furnished Commissioner
Helgeson. of the bureau of agriculture
and labor, the fax production of Dickey
county is placed at $4,000 acres and four
bushels per acre. The quality is slightly
inferior to last years. For the rest OF
the district named the yield will be
somewhat better, but the quality is
hardly up to the standard. Farmers
have been stimulated by the high prices
of the last two years and the increas-
ing demand from manufacturers to give
more attention to flax, but they are not
getting the returns that they expected.
Numerous inquiries have been received
here from linseed oil manufacturers re-
garding the yield and quality of tfaX,
and they promise keen demand at
high prices for prime f1aXseed. For
three years the Oil mills of Chicago and
indianapolis have depended on the Da
kotas and Minnesota for large per-
centage of their supplies of flax, and
superior quality has always been fur
nished. The mills locating in Mime
sofa and Iowa have also improved the
fax market in the Northwest. There
is no particular demand for the fiber,
however, and when drouth or some
other unfavorable circumstance cuts
down the yield to four or five bushels
per acre the crop becomes Improbable,
whereas if sale could be made of the
straw it would be one of the Surest and
best paying crops. The two Dakotas
last season produced 3,2SS, lis bushels
of fax, and Minnesota 2,4S5, $50, total
of 5,7S3. 995 bushels, while all the rest of
the United States only produced 4,657,-
SOL. On the increased acreage this year
the DakOtas would have turned out
fax crop of 4,50O, 900 bushels had not the
drouth blighted it. Local dealers pre-
dict that the bulk of the flax crop will
be marketed at about S1.25 per bushel,
Notwithstanding the depreciation in
quality.

FISHER, Minn., Aug. 26.-The people
of this village were startled this MORN
ing by brutal murder. Upon the ar
rival of the west-bound Great Northern
passenger train, DR.. Bahnsen, of
Crookston, passenger thereon,
alighted upon the platform, when
fellow named Horace Russell
stepped up to him and fired two
shots in rapid succession. The
second shot penetrated the doctors
head, entering behind and passing out
over the left eye. The doctor staggered
and fell. dying almost instantly. After
firing. Russell pulled mis- coat and made
for the woods, which are dense in that
vicinity, still holding the smoking re-
volver In his hand, and closely pursued
ter intent on lynching. Russell and
his wife had a quarrel several weeks
ago and the woman left him and re-
turned to her home at Lisbon. Russell
attributed his wife's separation to the
influence of DR.. Bahusen, though it is
generally believed that the doctor is
perfectly innocent. Russell has the
name Of being lazy, shiftless fellow,
given to grogging. His father, Capt.
Russell, is an old settler in that vicin-
ity. but now resident of California.

S SWITCHMEN MAKE A BREAK.
A Few Hot-Heads Tie Up the
Alton at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26. = About eighty
switchmen on the Chicago & Alton road
struck this morning. The cause of the
strike, as explained by the train master,
is that the company wished to place one
of its old employees In charge of the yard
at Brighton, whereas the men wanted a
man of their selectiog. The company
refused to grant this, and strike is the
result. There is no dissatisfaction
among the men regarding salaries or
treatment. General Manager Chappell
said: 1.-THE company will not
recognize the supposed right of
the employees to dictate who
shall hold the executive posi-
tions. At a consultation of the Off
cials 1t was decided not to yield to the
demands in this case, and we propose to
fight this battle to the end" The strik-
ers are not all union OF brotherhood
men, and it is said that the switchmen's
union has already informed the strikers
that they have no just grievances. The
strike is unauthorized by the union, and
it is not believed that 1T will prove seri-
Gus. Mr.. Chappell said that none Of
these strikers would be re-employed.
The road is endeavoring to do business
under police protection, but its freight
traffic is pretty etfectually tied up. The
switchmen, in giving their side of the
story, say that they object to Welch
only because he is tyrannical.

Striking switchmen Don't Know
When They Have Been Hit.

When They Have Been Hit.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Hhe rumor that
the striking stockyards switchmen had
repented of their haste and asked to be
taken back by The Switching association
at the old rate Of wages IS found to be
groundless. The switchmen are still
out tonight. and Paekingtown is idle
once more. The roads have dissolved
their switching association, declared the
strikers discharged, and say that here
after each road will do its own switch
ing. The great problem now is will the
employees of the various roads consent
to do the work formerly done by the
strikers, or will they declare that they
are taking the places OF strikers in
doing this switching, and refuse to enter
the yards? If the latter position be as
sumed by the employees of the various
lines every road entering Chicago may
be tied up before forty-eight hours, as
there is no doubt that tomorrow will
see every road attempting to do its own
switching. The company's ground for
hope that general strike may not take
place is the fact that the switchmen last
night struck in an altogether Irregular
and, according to their bylaws, illegal
manner. They should have first pre-
sented their demand for higher wages
to the association and, on its rejection,
a meeting of the proper committee of
the trainmen's organization to deter
mine whether strike should be de-
clared or not. In event of strike
being ordered after this formal pro-
ceeding they would then be entit-
led to the assistance and coop
Grafton of the organized trainmen
of every road entering Chicago. This
formality was not observed. however,
and the companies are confident that for
that reason. if for no other, the switch
men will find themselves without sup
port from the railway employees of the
various roads. No serious attempt was
made by the roads to clear the yards to-
day, but tomorrow will witness her
culean effort to resume operations. 1t
appeared to be the desire to give the
employees of the various roads time to
think over and discuss the situation
rather than to run the risk of general
strike being precipitated as result of
the roads forcing the issue before their
employees fully comprehended the sltua
tion. The Illinois Central did make a
feeble attempt to move few loads of
stock in the yards, but on their men re-
fusing to turn the switches at this time,
the attempt was abandoned.
