Commissioner Carey ON Wheat.

Commissioners Carey on Wheat.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 21.-A. s.
Carey, insurance commissioner of North
Dakota. is in the city today, and called
on Insurance Commissioner Smith at
the capital. Carey says that it is sim
ply impossible for anyone who has not
been on the ground to conceive of the
enormous crop. In Fargo, he says, the
farmers are taking up their notes in ad.
vance of maturity, and the money is
flowing into banks in volumes unknown
to that country. Concerning the effect
of %frosts, he says that frost only caught
q very small percentage of the crop, and
the damage was slight. Farmers. "
said he, '.foresaw a good crop year. and
after the regular seeding was dlona
many of them continued tdplow) and
COW as long as they dareR, shd it
was this late sowed WHAT that
was nipped by the frost. Wheat
that was sowed early escaped entirely.
Not more that 10 per cent. of the entire
crop was touched at all, ndthe per cent.
damage to the part that was nipped was
very small. Grain was two weeks
longer ripening than usual, owing to
the unusual growing weather" Carey
added that everybody was so busy
handling the wheat crop that they had
no time to talk or think about politics,
80 he was not prepared to say q word on
the subject. He owns q farm and
harvested q handsome crop of wheat
himself.

The victory OF the Congressionalists
in Chill is largely accounted for by
their having rapid firing guns and
smokeless powder, which the Balma.
cedists had not. One pleasurable
feature of the Mannlicher rifle, with
it's smokeless powder and little bullet,
was that O projectile would pass
through two men and kill a third
wherever they happened to be massed
three deep. Hotchkiss gun also did
fearful work.
