Wells County Booming.

"You can give Wells County boom
now," said J. A. Fields, of Sykeston, last
night. "A special freight train is run.
ming out of Sykeston now daily to carry
the wheat. Farmers are shipping their
own grain. The elevators are nor getting
much. Everybody gets cars, and by
shipping themselves make from four to
five cents bushel on price, besides saw
ing two or three cents on grades. They
also save dockage which is inconsiderable
at Duluth.
Wheat is grading No. l hard IN nearly
every instance, and Wells county farmers
are feeling pretty good. I think we have
the record Of the highest yield yet, over
fifty-three bushels to the acre. Other
grain is doing equally as we'll. One field
of fax, which farmer did not believe to
be worth cutting, went 1917 bushels to
he acre."

The Alliance Hail Losses.

The business of the Alliance Hail In
surance Department is over for the
season, although loss was reported in
Steel county on the 10Th inst. The total
losses adjusted for this year are $685.
67s.76. The company had patrons and
losses in every county in the state where
wheat was glown except Trail county.
The insurance of % cents an acre pro-
yided for total loss. not to exceed $500
per acre. The manager of the company
believes they will be able to pay nearly
in full all adjusted losses, which have
been but partial in most cases. The
crops of the State will permit the pay
ment of premium notes, and collections
of that character are already coming in.
The expenses of the company for the
season foot up between $1,000 and 5000.
Last year the losses exceeded the assets,
the former being $4,000 and the latter
$61, 600 without counting expenses. The
old notes taken for last years losses will
IN many cases be paid this year and the
old unpaid losses settled for as fast as
the notes are paid. This years. business
is kept distinct from last seasons, and on
the whole is believed will turn out salts
factory.
The greatest loss occurred in Barnes
and Cass counties during a heavy hail
storm that visited that portion OF the
state.

will Increase the Taxes,

The state board of equalization have
made the following changes in assess
ment of personal property, as returned
By the county assessors. When the pro-
perty owners come to pay their taxes
they will find out just what it means. In
some cases the rate is reduced, but in
most instances increased. The following
are the changes made:
Horses under years old reduced Is
per cent.
Horses years old and over increased
35 per cent.
Cattle under ? years old reduced Is
per cent.
Cows ? years old and over reduced Is
per cent.
All other cattle years old and over
raised 10 per cent.
Mules and asses of all ages raised Is
per cent.
Sheep reduced 40 per cent.
This was done so as to eoualizs the
same class of property in this county
with property in other counties in the
state. The effect will be to raise the
taxes on personal property in the county.

Commissioner of Agriculture Helgen.
sen in Fargo Republican: H.j. Randall,
horse dealer IN Park River, had 800
acres Of land that he wanted to sell the
worst way last winter for $4,000, but
could not find sale for it. He cropped
1t this year. Off OF 260 acres he got 5000
bushels of wheat,and 200 bushels of oats
and barley from another field. That crop
at the present price is worth $1,000. He
has sold his land since harvest for 5000.
This makes $4,000 that be received. 1t
cost him about $4,000 to raise the crop,
leaving him $4,000 for what last winter
he would have only received $4,000 had
succeeded in selling.
Foster County Independent: In the
spring Of 1891, Mr.. H. w. Fisk, Of Car
rington, purchased from the Darlington
& Casey Lard Company the southwest
quarter of section Is, Township 46, Range
66 for $1,7O4.0O, being at the rate of
$1,000 per acre. There we're no improve
ments whatever except 81 acres of break
ing. Mr.. Fisk planted this 81 acres to
wheat and has just sold the product of
over $500 bushels for IS cents per bnshel,
realizing over $4,000. The one years.
product OF only 81 acres pays for the en-
tire 160 acres at $10.50 per acre and all
expenses of raising the crop.
New Rockford Transcript: A. NJ.
Thomson expected 5000 bushels Of wheat
and his aeighbors thought he would
be lucky If he got $500. After threshing
he was quite disappointed to find only
4,5OO bushels in his granary. He looks
unusually pleasant over his extra 1900
bushels almost enough surplus over his
expectation to buy 100 acres as good land
as what he farmed this year.
LaMoure Chronicle: j. D. Ellis has
sold his fine quarter just south of town
to Harry Muir for ZOO. Mr.. Ellis hav-
ing removed to Duluth, was desirous Of
parting with his property here, and says
that he did so too quick, as he has been
offered large advance since selling. Mr..
Muir has secured splendid quarter at
a very cheap figure. ..
The difference between Dakota's wheat
crop for 80 and 81 is shown by an ex-
ample il Sargent county, where one
farmer raised 600 bushels last year and
1000 this year on the same land.
Grlggs Courier: 1t will take train of
|
fifty cars to ship Rollin G. Cooper's bar
ley crop. How is that for just one
farmer?
One Barnes county farmer will have
100000 bushels of wheat this year.

Cars for individual Shippers.

With view to ascertaining what ia
cility the Northern Pacific Railway Off
cials wonld extend to private shippers Of
wheat. the Dawson Standard addressed
letter to S. L. Moore, general freight
agent, St. Paul, and received IN reply the
following circular OF general instructions
to agents for the distribution of cars al
stations for loading gram, and to ship
pers.
To meet such reasonable demands az
may be made for cars for the shipment Of
grain, and to secure reasonably just and
equal distribution of cars. the following
rules will be enforced:
l. In distributing cars to stations TO;
grain loading, they will be distributed
according to the average daily shipments
from such stations.
?. In distributing cars to shippers fo1
grain loading at stations, agents will first
fill each shippers order, one car to each
After this is .done, the balance of cars

3. Parties desiring to load grain on
track will receive cars and will be al
lowed for loading twenty hours from
the time car is set on side track, to COM
plete loading and furnish shipping di-
rections. In case shipper fails to COM
plete loading or furnish shipping direc'
tions within the twen.y.four hours, then
in such case, the railway company will
collect upon such cars $500 rental each
for every day or part of day which
such cars are delayed after the twenty
four hours.
4. Agents must keep an accurate rec

and the aperture saturated with the mix
ture. Immediately the sheep began
vomiting greenlsh and frothy matter.
Its veins seemed to contain
a large quantity OF the greenish and
putrid substance. The animal, within
fifteen minutes was nearly double it's
usual size, and appeared to sustain great
suffering. 1t was placed in wagon and
the flock moved on. Instead Of dying
as expected, the sheep survived its or
deal, and is alive and we'll with the band
today. Mr.. Nichols believes that his
remedy is practically a cure for poison
from snake bites, as it was repeatedly
tried with success. ......,. ..... ,
Seven rattlesnakes were killed in one
day, and after counting began, over l5O
in all. A small box full of rattles was
brought home and many given away.
The snakes were killed to within few
miles of the Missouri river at Pierre, S.
d. Shortly after the snakes began to be
so numerous, the sheep acquired whole
some fear of any locality where snake
was discovered. The presence of a
rattler could be determined by the sheep
jumping over each other and scattering
in great haste from the dreaded reptile.
No accidents occurred to the drivers and
no extra precautions were taken to pre-
vent being bitten, although several
narrow escapes from the fangs of con-
cealed rattlers we're had.

agents to give notice to applicants as to
time of arrival of cars applied for at the
station, applicants must therefore inform
themselves and be prepared to load the
cars promptly on arrival. Shippers
should furnish shipping directions as
soon as car is set, and before they COM

DR.. keeley's Opinion.

DR.. Keeley, who is becoming famous
for successfully treating the liquor habit
by the bi-chloride of gold treatment. is
quoted as follows on the subject of pro.
hlbitlon:
II do not think prohibition will ever
obtain in the United States. 1t is i'm
possible to control the liquor traffic.
Therefore think light wines and beer
drinking ought to be encouraged as mat
ter OF government policy IN America and
England. Alcoholic drinking is not vice,
1t is disease. This is the way regard
1t, and for that reason I treat it as
disease with better success than has
been obtained at any time IN the worlds
history. You can neither wipe out
drunkenness by preaching nor by maxi
ing laws"

"A Coroner's jury Trying to Clean
Further Facts About the Buffalo
Disaster.
Investigation by a coroners jury of the
Buffalo accident was being made Mon
day at Fargo. Brakeman Gallagher
testified that the brakes on the oil car
we're not set when it was struck by the
engine and pushed forward on the side
track and that the dog was not in the
ratchet. The oil car was gently touched
by the engine and should not have
moved over five feet. He says he tried
to stop the car by climbing down and
pushing the brakebeam against the
wheels with lis feet. He also tired
several times to set the brakes in the
usual way, but at no time could it be
done. He states he tried to block the
car but could find nothing to DO it with.
He rode on the car for about two miles
and kept swinging his lamp to signal to
stop the approaching stock train which
he could plainly see. The engineer evi-
IDENTITY did not see him, although he got
down on the brakebeam and swung his
lamp SO that it would be seen about the
height OF man signaling. He thought
the oil car was running about 20 miles
an hour when he jumped. IT the stop
signal had been seen the engineer would
have whisteld, and the signal ought to
have been seen 400 yards. Gallagher
says that Beaton, the injured brakeman
on the stock train, told him he saw the
stop signal and tried to jump out of the
left hand window of the cab just as the
car struck. The engine of Gallagher's
tram cut off and tried to catch the re-
ceeding oil car, but could not do so.
The deposition of Brakeman Beaton
will be taken today to determine if posi-
ble what occurred on the engine of the
stock train and why Gallagher's signals
we're not seen.
The officials state that the car was in
spected at Fargo September % when put
in the freight house there. The agent at
Buffalo also is said to have declared that
the car was not out of order when Sc: for
unloading at that station Saturday, the
Goth. If the brake had been properly
set, the Master Mechanic states it would
hardly be possible to knock the dog
from the rachet when bumped by the en-
gine.
The wreck is the first serious one that
has occurred in three years on the
division, and the record made in this
respect has been excellent, as over -,
564 freight trains on the main line alone
have been safely handled.
The carcasses of the sutfocated and burn
ecattle dwere buried yesterday. There
were great number Of them, about 300,
and the work was OF considerable magni
tude. Financially, the wreck will be a
costly one, probably loss Of $4,000.
