O Snaudre!

The North Dakota Capital recog-
nizes the fact that smudges, or
smoke-fires, about fields OF growing
crops, ward off the frost. It then
gives as possible reasons that the
particles of smoke absorb the dew.
or that heat connected with them
melts the FROST. Probably the Capt.
tai will find a reason in the fact that
radiation Of heat from the surface
OF the earth cannot take place with
much activity under the slight
est smoke cloud. Radiation of heat
Cooling by radiation) from the sur
face of the earth is related to the
great space of "infnite cold" above
the atmosphere. It apparently ra-
dates in straight lines. Clouds at
almost any height prevent this by
interrupting the lines OF radiation.
Hence there never is a frost on q
cloudy night. A newspaper-proba-
bly, even a mosquito netting-acts
in a similar way. There is little
doubt but that smoke also acts on
the same principle.
An extremely remarkable fact con-
nected with frost, is that evapora-
ton of moisture produces extreme
cold; heat units disappear in the
formation OF vapor; and, contra,
heat units appear on condensation
OF vapor. And vet, Notwithstanding
this elementary fact in physics, frost
appears in the night when evapor-
alton practically ceases!
Fairbault Demonstration that
the American prize of wheat has been
up to $1.O7 and $1.O8 long enough
to allow the holders of old wheat to
unload, we are informed that the
Russian ukase has modified in regard
to expectation and that only sui.
ficient grain will be held to meet the
home demand. On the heels of this
comes the report that English and
other European crops are a good
average. Does this mean that all
our crop reports are simply the work
OF the Spectator given out in just
such form as necessary to bull or
bear the market? 1t certainly be-
gins to look like it and the specula-
tors having unloaded low priced
wheat at a big profit are now engi-
neering to purchase the present crop
low and hold for a rise such as can
be forced in the markets.
Oh ye slow Of heart and party
muggled brain! How long before We

everything the GREAT WEST has

Beerbohn into the fiery furnace for

Shocking Murdernear Darlington.
On Wednesday evening last oc.
cured most shocking murder near
Darlington, and the fellow com
mitting the deed cannot be re-
garded as human only in form.
That day James Meighan, a young
farmer not long married, and who
resides in Willow Springs, about
six miles north of Darlington, went
to the latter place for q load Of lum-
ber for a new house which he was
having built, He was accompanied
by one Sieboldt, a farm laborey
working for J. w. Ray, who joins
farms with Meighan. In the latter
part of the afternoon they started
for home with the load of lumber,
and about 5 o'clock the startling
news was conveyed To Darlington,
by parties who were travelling on
the highway and saw the finishing
act of the tragedy, that Jas. Meig.
han was lying murdered about two
miles out. From meager intormn
tion at hand itappears that the men
got into a fight on the wagon. Sic.
boldt was heard TO say 10y the par
ties who happened along at the
conclusion of the fatal fracas ale
tried to Kill me, but ! have finished
him IN good shape" and he then
uuhitched the horses aud, riding
one and leading the other, started
off toward home, but he was ar,
rested by deputy sheriff Fisher
before arriving there aud taken to
Darlington. Meighau was found
dead in the road by the side Of his
wagon. His head aud face were
battered into unrecogui2able con
dition, and it said put in plaster Of
Paris to keep in shape. The wea-
pom used is supposed to be the
wagon hammer. Sieboldt had o
scratch on his face aud one Of his
hands was slightly laeerated, He
has frequently been arrested, aud
there is every proof now Of his be-
lug hearlless and worthless char.
acter. Lynching is agitated.

Every one recalls how barely the United
States escaped panic last fall and the
fall before-the first and second autumns
Of this ''grand administration" All
these things lead us to inquire
what has become of all the splendid
prognostics of national prosperity that
were based upon the election of the one
and only Harrison? Aperiod of greater
pinching has never been known under
any administration. The fond hopes
raised from the rostrum and from the
editorial tripod have dissolved into the
thinnest kind of air. Yet the time is
approaching when we shall be treated to
the same kind of cheap aapdoodle, and
the confding voter will be asked to give
the Republican party another lease OF
power on the same specious pretenses.
But Woodson's little game will scarcely
work this time. The rose-color has
faded out of the fattering picture, at
least for the workingman, the farmer
and those whose lines are not cast in
particularly pleasant places, and these
are the people who decide the results of
elections.
