GREAT GROWING WEATHER.
The People of the Dakotas in a
Hopeful State of Mind.


Special to the Globe.
ELLENDALE, N. D., June 11.-There
has been another week of excellent
growing weather in the Dakotas. The
rains of last week were followed by
clear skies and cool atmosphere. 1t is
the ideal wheat weather. The crop is
coming forward with remarkable rapid
ity. The wheat is well rooted and Wig
orous. The blades are shooting up from
the stools with uniformity and good
color. Only one sentiment is heard
among the farmers-the prospects are
first-class. We have got almost to the
middle of June with sufficiency of
rain and the weather all that could be
asked. The rains ceased in May last
season, and at this time in June the
drought was upon the country. In just
this important particular the prospects
are better than at this time last year.
The ground is In condition now to go to
the first of July without more rain, and
with the variable winds and other indi-
cations it is probable that there will be
additional moisture before the end of
this month. With all the cool and
changeable weather there have been no
hail storms worth speaking of. There
is every indication now that both the
James and Red river valleys will have
an average crop or more. The acreage
in the Red river valley is about the
same as last year, while elsewhere in
the state there is a decrease of Is OF 20
per cent.

SAMUEL JACKSON RANDALL.

The United States to-day stands by
the bier of great man, for Samuel
jackson Randall was a great man. lie
was plain man of the people, one Of
the kind Lincoln loved and Lincoln
himself was lie was man of rugged
character, of indomitable will and Of
aggressive honesty. He was not con
tent with keeping his own hands clean
from public punder, but he would not
let anybody else pluuder if he could
prevent it.
No man, not even John Quincy
Adams, the Old Man Eloquent, was
ever longer or more closely identified
with the House of Representatives
than Mr.. Randall. For more than a
quarter of century he was member
of the popular branch of Congress, and
during all that long period he was a
leader of his party He may not have
been broad man, but he was thorough
and forceful in all he undertook and
he accomplished more than many a so
called broad gauge statesman.
Above all and before all he was an
American, and an American of the best
type. He was patriotic in every fibre
and loyal to the core. lie deserved we
of his country, and his country car
stand by his open grave with no act of
his TO apologize for and none to hide
and his country's only regret is that he
should have died so soon.

A BICYCLE RIDER FINED.
While Coasting on Fourteenth Stree
He Knocked n Woman Down

While Coasting on Fourteenth Street
He Knocked Woman Down.
There was an important case in the
Police Court this morning which is of
particular interest to bicycle riders.
William O'Donnell was charged with
having committed an assault on Mrs
King and her son, Charley, of 1905
Fourteenth street northwest. O'Don-
nell was coasting on the Fourteenth
street hill at rapid rate of speed when
he ran into Mrs. King and her boy,
knocking them down.
Officer Nicholson, who was mounted
attempted to stop Nicholson, but was
unable to overtake him. O'Donnell
said that he succeeded in stopping the
machine, but he kept going right on
for twenty five feet or more.
"This, then, indicates that you were
going at the rate of three or four miles
a minute" said the Judge. This
practice of coasting on the hills in the
District is very dangerous and ought to
be stopped"
District Attorney Armes stated that
this coasting on the Fourteenth street
hill was daily occurrence and that
the riders were becoming entirely too
careless. He suggested that fine OF
$50 be imposed and the fine then sus
pended. Judge Miller however, fined
O'Donnell So.

THE DIALECTRICIAN

lie wrote his poems according to his light,
And as his light was light, they seemed
most airy
Too airy sometimes to last e'en over
night
A. tenuously slim a. any fairy.
The critics cut him right aud left severely;
They said his work was lacking in fe-
licity;
No more a poet was this person clearly,
Than light Of sun was that of electricity.
To dia 'ect he turned his whole attention;
Twas then that the critics called his
promise bright
And of his "genius rare' made constant
mention,
And dubbed him, too, the "Dlalectric
Light
SO now he writes his poems day by day,
And whether he does make them bright
or sad,
He's sure TO find success. I'ye heard him
say
"The poems are unchanged; the spellings

THE REASON MEN MARRY.
Different Causes that Conspire to Brin e
About Matrimony

From tie Farmers I'0ice.
A true man wants wife to cherish
and love all the days of his life, but the
true men who marry wives for those
reasons are few and far between. The
reasons for marrying are many and di.
verse. \ woman is a good cook and
the man who marries her feels sure he
will always have good table, and that
he will never be ashamed to bring a
friend home to dinner or supper with
him.
Some men marry their wives because
they are fine looking and stylish, and
will make good appearance in society
or preside nicely at their table.
Others are tired of boarding, and
long for home, and, knowing that a
house keeper and hired girl are ex-
pensive luXuries, they marry a woman
who is thoroughly domestic, regardless
of everything else.
Old men marry young wives to take
care of them in tn cir old age, and often
pay dear for their folly.
Some marry wives for their fine
voices, because they are passionately
fond of music; Others marry girls who
are fine dancers, and still others are
careful to find out that the girls are fine
seamstresses that they marry, so that
they will be able to do their own sew
ing-for sewing in this day and age is
an expensive luxury if you hire it done.

CHIEF BELL.
Something About the Personality of u
Most Nigilant Official

Something About the Personality of u
Most Nigilant Official.
Chief Bell of the Government Secret
Service is handsome official. He has
long, wavy, iron gray hair, something
after the wild Western style, and as he
is addressed by all his subordinates as
"Chief, the title at once becomes sug-
gestive. Added to this he has a nous
tache and goatee similar to that worn
by Buffalo Bill, which causes strong
facial resemblance between the two.
A large picture Of Cody hangs on the
wall of the chiefs private Office, and
The CRITIC reporter had an oppor-
tunity of making a comparison. Before
becoming chief of the Secret Service
Mr.. Bell was chief of the Newark, n.
j., police force. He is a shrewd, search
ing officer and has unearthed many
dangerous counterfeiters since his in-
cumbency. He issues personal orders
to his sleuth hounds all over the
country and keeps thoroughly posted
as to every premeditated move of his
men. Often he takes q flying trip over
the road to superintend operations in
person.
The museum adjoining his office
contains hundreds Of photographs Of
counterfeiters and Showers ma
chinery for manufacturing bogus
money; counterfeit notes, bonds, coin
and stamps, and last, but not least, o

weapons found in the possession of cap.

a story OF the Postoflice In the Little
Town of Lewisburgh

Town of Lewisburgh
The prosperous little town Of Lewis
burgh, in the county Of Union, Pa,
enjoyed the advantage of frst.class
postonice and postal facilities during
the administration Of President Cleve.
land, and no word of discomfort was
uttered by the citizens. On the con
trary, they praised the postmaster for
his efforts to improve the office, often.
times at his own expense. The then
Democratic postmaster was not ap.
pointed by Mr.. Cleveland until the term
of the Republican incumbent had ex-
pired, in conformity with the civil
service law. But now comes Post
master General Wanamaker, aided and
abetted by the present Republican Con-
gressman from the district of which
Union County is part and parcel to
iuggle with and pervert the bacll-act-
ing, double. iointed, six sided, concen.
trated civil service law.
The facts in the case came ont before
the civil service reform investigating
committee of the House, but for some
unknown reason they have not as yet
reached the outer atmosphere. The
facts briefly are that the present post
master of Lewisburg was the Republi-
can candidate for Congress in his dis
trict before his appointment and would
! no doubt have been elected had 1t not
been for the gentleman who now holds
the seat in Congress. A deal was made
between the two, and the now post
master, in consideration of receiving
the posoflice appointment, withdrew
from the Congressional contest and
threw his Union County influence in
favor Of the sitting member.
After the election of the latter the
deal was consummated and precedent
and the civil service law were both
broken by the dismissal of the Demo
cratic incumbent long before the ex.
piration Of his lawful term aud with
out charges or complaint Of any nature
ever having been made against him.
This was testified to by the former
Democratic postmaster, Mr.. Hammil.
eright, who also stated that Mr. Wana.
maker asked him to resign, and upon
his refusal to do so he was summarily
dismissed. The opinion is growine
among congressman here that the civil
service law las she is" and as enforced
by this Administration is rank failure
and should be relegated to obscurity
and such cases as that cited above will
only strengthen that opinion and bring
about coincident results.

The Police Unable TO Solve the Mys-
terry of Her Disappearance.
The police are becoming more aud
more satisfied every day that Jane
Mack, the colored rag picker, has been
foully dealt with. Detectives Carter
and RaG on Saturday broke open the
door Of the room at No. 1854
Third street southwest, but
found that IL contained only
a lot of old rags, a small stove, an
old matrass upon some boxes in the
corner, cup or two, and few pieces
of broken crockery. There was no in.
dication of anything having been dis
turbed. The neighbors, who are un.
familiar with Jane Mack's troubles,
say, however, that there is something
mysterious about her disappeance.
She is not known to have any rela-
tives nearer than South Carolina. aud
the never spoke of any friends she
seemed to have any attachment for or
cared to visit. The theory that she
went to Georgetown has been exploded,
and 1t is now presumed that this rumor
was started only to allay suspicion.
Information was obtained by the
officers on Saturday night that only a
few days before she disappeared she
had in bucksbin belt about her waist
about 5000 in cash which she had ac-
cumulated in the rag business. That she
had this money was verified by woman
residing at the corner of First and X
streets southwest, in whose presence she
counted it over. She happened to do
this, because she was inclined TO think
that q boy had taken some of her
money while she was having a $40 bill
changed. She found, however that she
was mistaken, as the amount of money
| in the belt was correct.
1t is known that she has not gone to
her old home in the South, as her rela-
tives have been communicated with.
Jane Mack came to Washington about
eleven years ago.
The police are satisfied she has been
foully dealt with and are making a
thorough investigation of the matter.

Editor critic: In justice to myself and
friends, who may be interested in the
statements as published in the morning
papers Of the 18th inst. more especially
the Baltimore San, relative to the
alleged assault upon myself by the
Hon. S. f. Mudd, at the Capitol on the
10th inst, beg a few lines of space for
an emphatic denial of the published
statements.
First. / would state that ! did not
call upon Mr.. Mudd upon business
connected with the position he had
promised to obtain for me, but upon a
purely personal matter best known to
Mr.. Mudd and myself.
Secondly. Not blow was passed be-
tween Mr.. Mudd and myself, and not
even eG attempt to do so. That I used
language more forcible than polite /
acknowledge, but it was not without
aggravation, and which / was fully
justified in using. If l was knocked
down, as stated, fail to realize when
the event took place.
In conclusion | would say that the
honorable gentleman and myself will
have reckoning in the next convention

REPORTING CAIN AND ABEL.
A Point from DIR. WayIand's Latest
New York Speech


New York Speech.
From tie Ne,c York Nail and Express
The ideal religious newspaper Gf
there be one) will be candid chron-
icler. 1t will give the news and the
news of to-day. 1t will not forget that
this is to-day and not yesterday; that
we are living in the nineteenth Chris
tian century; and that, while every
science has been advancing, religion
has not stood still; that while the Bible
is the same, yet our acquaintance with
it has enlarged with each rising sun,
and that the eager questioning of to-day
may not be satisfied with an appeal to
the fathers, whether they sat in Moses
seat or in the seat of the Imperial
Pontiff, OF in the seat of the honored
man who once held sway in Geneva.
As candid chronicler it will give the
facts (Which are the raw material of
history, and the true facts By this
do not mean merely that it will not tell
lies Though that is something); it is
possible for every assertion to be exact
truth, and yet the whole impression be
just what one pleases. The same thing
may appear black or white, as it may
be related. and all without false as
sertion.
For example, 10 reference to the la
mentable occurrence which took place
five or six thousand years ago near the
cradle aud the birthday of the race. If
had lived in those times ! might have
opened the 4nte.ddNcidB Herald (pub.
llshed annually at one hundred sheep
a century,, and might. have read
I'VE regret to learn that q lamentable
event took place yesterday in the beau
tiful village of Cain Abel-ville, as the
result of which one of our subscribers
is incapacitated from receiving his
paper; at least we have no means of for
wardipg it to his present address. 1t is
gratifying to be able to say that this is
the only act of violence which has ever
disturbed the amenities of this beautiful
place of residence. We may add that
the present is very favorable time fol
investment in this thriving and usually
delightful village, and that very choice
corner lots may be secured at this office
on favorable terms"
On the other hand, no doubt, one
might find in the MeS0potamidn OJSerte,
of the same date, published (by a great
stroke of enterprise), semi-annually al
ten camels half century, the follow
ing, with all the emphasis of headlines
capitals and exclamation points:

notable addition to pictorial journal

1t is significant of the simplicity of

of the majority of his subjects, at 80

distinguished guests to be entertained
there is state banquet at 6 in the even
ing. In his ordinary life the Emperor
is not given to luxury. He rises very
early, takes very light first breakfast
and then goes out for ride or walk
and sometimes for little shooting, ac-
cording to the season. During the bad
weather, such as we have had for some
days past, his Majesty takes about an
hours exercise on foot In the large
quadrangle of the old palace
After exercise he takes second
breakfast, consisting generally of an
omelet, ham and eggs, mutton chop
or chicken. At the principal meal, at
l;3O, which the Emperor insists on call
ing dinner, not luncheon, the first
course consists of bouilon OF broth
with rice or macaroni, or of Russian
soup; then boiled meat, with vegeta-
bles, followed by roast meat and pud-
ding. there are any guests at the or.
binary dinner an eajree and ice arc
added. The Emperor's supper consists
of meat or fish and pudding. His favor.
