The Weather ana Crops.

The weather crop bulletin issued by Sergt.
S. w. Glenn, of the United States signal
Office at Huron, covering nineteen counties
in North Dakota and twenty-seven in
South Dakota, is to the effect that the
temperature and sunshine condition for
the past week has been very favorable to
the growth Of grain, and the sprouting of
much that remained u%nsprouted last week.
The rain has been in local showers and
very evenly distributed. There is d
general improvement over last gear, but
some localities in South Dakota and q
number in North Dakota need rain very
much. Reports indicate that on a general
average crop prospects IN South Dakota
are very good, and in North Dakota from
fair to good. Cut-worms are doing con-
siderable damage, and in some localities
the ground devoted to corn will be planted
to later crops. The worms appear to work
in districts OF spots, and in some instances
have destroyed whole fields of wheat.
These cases, however, are rare. High
winds have been upfavorable.

Railroad Speculation at Peoria.


The Northwestern railway company has
notified James A. Ward and w. S. Wells
to remove their brick kilns, etc., from the
company@s lands near the steamboat land
ing. The fact that Messrs. Ward and
Wells have just fairly begun the manu-
facture of brick for fall building and will
be losers in haying'to vacate the company's
lands, and the further fact that the lease
of the grounds stipulated that they would
not be compelled to vacate unless the
Northwestern intended to use the lands
for its " private business, has led many
to believe that it intends using the grounds
for accumulatlag material to be trans
ferred ACROSS the river later in the extern
sion to the Hills. The head officials have
been here several times this spring. aud it
looks as ii some active work will be done
before long.

EVERGREEN NURSERIES.

. We have been favored with the
catalogue Of these Nurseries. II is
the largest and most complete list of
Forest trees, Evergreens and Orna-
mental Trees ever issued in this coun-
try. Their assortment or trees suited
to tree claims and forest culture is by
far the largest we have ever seen, and
on many things their prices are lower
than any others. They are making a
sugar maple and yellow cottonwood
for this purpose, and claim to be able
to furnish them in unlimited quaint
ties. These nurseries were established
twenty years ago, without dollar
capital, and have grown to mammoth
proportions, which result could not be
realized except by fair and honorable
dealing.
Every man wanting trees should
address a postal card to Evergreen
Nurseries" Evergreen, Door County,
Wis, and ask for their catalogue.

AS usual, the big Northwest has
carried off the prize in competition
with the rich and lazy East. Congress
voted Monday on the location of the
proposed Worlds Fair of '92, and on
the eighth ballot, the decisive majority
was given for locating the great show
at Chicago. There were some admit
ted advantages in locating an expo
sition open to the Worlds competition
on the seaboard, but New York lost
its advantage by the quarrels of con-
tending factions, just as both the po-
litical parties of that State have re-
peatedly done in the past. Chicago
is doubly fortunate in its central loca-
ton and in the loyalty of all the peo-
pie to their local interest. Every
Chicagoan is drummer by birth, and
when they are all drumming for a
single enterprise, they are simply
invincible. Chicago has undertaken
an immense contract, but there is no
such word as fail in her lexicon. The
success of Chicago is an object lesson
to every community, in showing what
can be done by judicious advertising
and loyal pulling together, regardless
of competition.

, A big Dakota travelling man tried
to bluff lesser drummer at break
fast few mornings ago, but it didn't
work. The latter mildly contended
that some of the Dakota people were
suffering for the ne,:essaries OF life
and after peace was restored, the big
man admitted that such was the case
but claimed that the facts had been
greatly exaggerated. Years ago.
when Southwest Minnesota was "in
the soup" on account of poor crops
and misdirected farming, Dakota
boomers waxed fat, and now that the
tables are turned, some of the Dako-
tans are very sensitive about their des-
titute settlers, but they ought not to
keep out supplies and help where
they are so much needed.

SOUTHERN MINNESOTA WAS GOOD

SOUTHERN MINNESOTA WAS GOOD
ENOUGH.
A good story is told on A. H, Bulls,
the first democratic candidate for con-
gress against John Lind. The New
Ulm Review starts it on its rounds and
says it cannot vouch for its truth, but
just at this time, when the papers are
devoting SO much space to. Southern
Minnesota, it comes in as a good hit.
Bulls once attended a revival meeting.
At the close of the sermon the reverend
exhorter called on all those in the aud
fence, who desired to go to heaven, to
rise. All rose but Bulls. Stoical as
an old Indian, he sat III his seat and
needed not the calling. After all had
taken their seats again, the same re-
quest was given to all those who de-
sired to take up their abode in hell.
None rose and Bulls still kept his seat.
When all was over, friend tapped
him on the shoulder and said: eSay,
Bulls, what's the matter with you any
howl You don't seem to care to go to
either place." "WelP' said Bulls, q
always had an idea that Southern Min
nesota was good enough.

One of the most remarkable utter
ances made at the recent state conven-
ton of temperance people at Des
MONIES, Iowa, was the declaration Of
the outgoing Governor Larabee that
his experience of governor of the state
had made him favorable to prohi-
bition. He said that he had openly
opposed it as impracticable, but that
in eighty counties in the state the
jails had been emptied, and the num-
Der of persons in the state peniten-
tiary reduced by one-half during bis
administration, and that court and
people were agreed that the cause OF
this was prohibition. He said that
the taxes were less and the markets
better, and that observing all these
things in the administration of the
affairs of the state he could not help
but become Prohibitionist. Govern
or Larrabee was distrusted by the
temperance people when elected, lest
his known opposition to prohibition at
the time of it's submission should lead
to the use of his position as governor
to belittle and defeat the law. But
his conversion to prohibition while ad.
ministering law contrary to his per
sonal convictions, is not less compli-
ment to the character of the law than
to the sincerity and candor of the con-
vert.-Union Signal.
A bill has been introduced in the
North Dakota Legislature to organize
a lottery by which the State shall de-

that it has raised storm of indignant
protest throughout the State; but the
curious thing in connection with it
was the horror with which some pa
pers heard of this Immoral" plan of
raising money, which papers have
been advising the people to license sa-
looms for this purpose. I read to-day
a high moral lecture to the people of
New Mexico for licensing gambling
houses and devoting the proceeds to
schools. They were called very un-
complimentary names for such iniquity
yet this paper is an enthusiastic adj
vocate of licensing saloons for such
purposes in Illinois. But statistics on
every hand show that all the lotteries
and gambling houses combined dc

about Col. Ingersol's theology the fol-

not be denied by those who have
looked the matter up. 1t is the way
the great orator explains the eternal
struggle, between capital and labor:
Here is shoe shop. One man is al
ways busy through the day. In the
evening he goes counting some nice
girl. There are five other men in the
shop that don't do any such thing.
They spend half their working even
ings in dissipation. The first young
man cuts out these others and gets a
boot and shoe store of his own. Then
he marries and is able to take his
wife out riding. The five former COM
panions, who see him indulge in this
luxury, retire to saloon and pass
resolutions that there is an eternal
struggle between labor and capital.
