q The potato rot has ruined the crop in a
very considerable portion of the United
States, and the tubers will be scarce. The
inopportune tax imposed by the Mckinley
act of 25 cents bushel will bear hard on the
poor mans breakfast table. The farmers
who will be obliged to purchase potatoes
next spring for seed planting will also have
practical experience of the blessings of pro-

Railroad News.

The best realization of the railroad is
that some $35, 900 of Northern Pacific
money is now circulating through our
city. Those who sold to the railroad
have bought elsewhere in the CITY,
Debts have been paid, mortgages lifted,
and the money otherwise distributed
among the people. The general situa-
ton in regard to the completing lines
remains unchanged. The Northern
Pacific force is steadily building the
grade through Tammany. The line
will take off at Pullman. The facts of
last week were further substantiated by
the reports of this. Pullman being so
successful in having the road officials
determine on their line, now are work.
ing for division shops to be located at
that point.
The Union Pacific surveyors are busy
cross sectioning the route of the Lewis
ton h Southeastern. The report of last
week that the U. P. were buying wheat
in the Potlatch, contracting to build q
line parallel with the Northern through
that section down to Lewiston, thence
to connect with the road now being
built up the Grande Ronde, has been
confirmed from various good sources.
With such a line established and the
proposed line up Clearwater to connect
with the Utah & Northern built, the
advantage gained to Lewiston would
be very great. The connected lines OF
the U. P. would place us on a direct
overland route and that the shortest
and best over the continent. The I'm
ion contemplates the building of five
conyerging lines from Lewiston within
the next two years. They can and will
with proper encouragement make this
central and important point for three
various lines. These proposed improve
ments are not mere assertions but are
backed by the fact that they are large
buyers of real estate in and near our
city, at prices that would be wild spec.
ulation unless some such improvements
were contemplated.

The Coming Crop.

Inc crop OF lS9O will be an immense
one. Glowing reports are coming in
from every source. Fine stools of
wheat and rye are ON exhibition at
many of our business houses. The
farmers are proud and elated, and we'll
they should be. Such magnificent
yield cannot be surpassed on the globe.
c. G. Bunnell spent a portion of the
present week on the Potlatch, and to
him we are indebted for many of the
facts that make up our estimate of the
acreage and approximate yield. Mr..
Wright, the assessor for the Big Pot
latch, has the acreage to be: Wheat,
1741 acres; fax, 1910; oats, $3.50; barley,
l096. More than $500 acres Of growing
grain now ripening on the Big Pot
latch alone. This Is beyond dispute
one of the richest grain growing le-
gions in the west. The country is fine
rolling table land. The rainfall is al
ways sufficient. All kinds of grain
and fruit can be raised on the soil and
the yield will equal that Of any coun.
try. The yield for the coming crop
has been variousiy estimated. George
Wandscheer, who gave US call this
week, thinks that his wheat will make
fully 70 bushels to the acre. The aver.
age yield will be better than fifty
bushels for wheat and twenty for fax.
In the country lying east Of town the
prospect is equally encouraging. The
barley in that section is ripe and has
in part been harvested. Robt. Inghram

1t is the all but universal custom among
the fashionable ladies of Venice of the
present day to smoke cigarettes, both
when alone and in company. The hostess
at a ball among the nobility receives her
guests with a cigarette between her fin
gers, and all the fair danes smoke in the
pauses of the dance.
The wife of the son of Robert Brown
ing, an American lady, created pro-
found sensation in Venetian society by
declaring that she would not invite ladies
to smoke at her house, and the little
daughter of another American lady un-
consciously uttered a severe criticism
upon the custom.
The mother was visiting an Italian
woman of title, and in her honor a ball
was given in the palace of the hostess.
The little girl, who was years old, was
taken by her nurse from her bed to
gallery where she could look down into
the ball room after the company had as
sembled. She looked at the brilliant
sight for moment in silence and then
asked in much wonder:
"Where are the ladies?"
"Why, the hall is full of them," an
swered the nurse.
"Oh, no." said the child, "all those
women but mamma are smoking. -

A Row In WallnGfOrd.

Mondays Rutland Herald gives
the following account of a drunken
row in Wallingford last Friday even
ing:
States Attorney Dana and Deputy
Sheriff Stearns went to WallingfOrd Sat-
urday, where a hearing was held before
Justice A. G, Stone, in the case of one
Touhey, who was arrested for breach of
the peace, having given John Gainey
black eye in row that occurred at a
dance in Wallingford on Friday evening.
Touhey pleaded guilty and sentence was
reserved pending further examination.
A man named Pickett. who was also ar
raigned for like complaint, and his case
was also continued
Gainey was then arraigned on charge
of intoxication, and disclosed on a man
who had, two gallons of hard cider in the
hall, peddling it around among the dam
GERS. He was fined S. and costs, amount
ing to SIS. The man who furnished the
cider has left town, but his whereabouts
are known to the police.
District Attorney Dana stated last
evening that several young men from
Rutland were also present at the high
carnaval," and brought to Wallingford a
considerable quantity of whiskey which
mixed with the cider raised havoc with
the countrymen, and further said that the
row was not wholly confined to the hall,
as the grass in front of several residen-
ces as well as number of gardens was
trodden down by the participants in this
disgraceful affair.
A number of complaints have already
been issued and the affair promises to de-
velope other offences against the peace
and dignity ofthe state

after A o'clock Friday afternoon,
which resulted in terrible loss of life
and property, no less than 10 people
being killed and number of houses
and barns entirely demolished. The
storm came from the southwest, from
the vicinity of Sublette, and had ap-
parently spent its fury when it reach
ed the vicinity of the Fields school
house, new building standing at the
southwest of the four corners. At
this time a black cloud driven from
the northwest swept up and gave the
cyclone renewed energy.
The fury of the storm was awful.
In second the whirling tempest had
struck the little schoolhouse, and in
an instant the building was torn to
pieces At the time there were but
eight persons in the building, and as
the storm was heard coming up they
attempted to rush outside to seek
safety in the open air, but it was too
late. The teacher and her seven pu-
pills were instantly killed and their
bodies were carried some distance.
At least 80 farmhouses and other
buildings in Lee county were wreck
ed and eight more persons killed.
All buildings, fences, orchards and
crops were ruined.
The cyclone continued increasing
until it reached the village of Paw
Paw where the greatest destruction
of life and property was caused. This
village was left in ruins. 1t is re-
ported II persons were torn to pieces
and the eastern portion of the town
entirely wiped out.

reached is inexplicable. Of course it
might be expected of Page, for it has

grandmother before he was ten years
old, and that during the war he stole
a car load of calfsklns and took them
to Canada, and that after the war
was over, and he was in no danger Of
being drafted, he returned and bur-
