gleby, who was member of the Coun-
Gil for several years, to fill the vacancy

convened.

a UNIQUE BUILDING.
The Handsome New Episcopal
Church.

The new st. Johns Episcopal Church
is being pushed forward pretty we'll
toward completion. The parish build
ing is under roof, and the north wall is
finished. The south wall will DO done
in day or so. When this is done the
main building can be put under roof at
once, but the contractor, Mr.. Amweg.
will probably not put the roof ON just
yet, as more OF the gable will be fin
ished first so as to prevent the wind
from having such o clear sweep under
tho roof. The parish building will
soon be lathed and plastered.
This church will have seating ca
pacity of 600 in the main building. The
building was designed and planned by
Mr.. Charles M. Burns, Of Philadelphia,
and the plans are being carried out
under the direction OF Mr.. w. G. No
land. 1t will be what is known as the
clerestory church. The essential fea-
lures of tho olerestory church are the
low roof on the side portions of the
alsles and the high roof of the nave, or
central part, allowing continuous row
OF windows above the aisle roof and be-
low the caves of the roof of the nave.
These windows above thu lower, or aisle
roof, are what is termed the clerestory
window.
This is an entirely new feature in
church building in Virginia, and will be
unique as it is stylish. Speaking of the
construction, Mr.. holland said yes
terday:
This plan of obtaining light and
ventilation for the upper part of the in
terror by having windows above the
aisle roofs has been followed since
the days of the earliest Christian
Churches of any size. 1t reached its
highest development in the noble
cathedrals of Europe whose very lofty
interior are so stiking. In most of
these old cathedrals both the aisles and
the nave have vaulted ceilings of stone
instead Of the wood or plaster ceilings
of our moro unpretentious churches.
To support the high nave and take the
thrust OF the stone arches Of the cell
ings the old cathedral architects in
vented the flying buttresses' that make
these old buildings so complicated on
the outside.
"In st. Johns Church the idea is to
get the lofty nave inside without the
expensive buttreSscS outside. 1t will
have central aisle and two side aisles.
The chancel is placed at tho eastern
end, where n large traceried window
ten feet wide, with reredos below,
will give fine effect above the altar

AFTER NEGRO LABORERS.

Pittsburg Negro Takes Away n Carload
to Work In the Mines.
L. u. s. Peregrine, burly negro from
Pittsburg, has been in tho city for sew
oral days getting together a crowd of
laborers to take them to that city and
vicinity to work in the mines.
Peregrine has been raised in the
North and does not speak with the same
dialect as the Southern negro. On the
other hand he speaks with German
accent and had trouble in making some
of the people he was after to understand
him.
He has been here two days and left
yesterday with carload of about fifty.
promising them plenty of work, good
wages and comfortable homes. He
made them believe that they only had
to go to the North and remain but
short while before they would be we'll
TODD, influential citizens and would
stand on an equal with any white man.
He did not have much trouble in get
ting q crowd together, in which there
we're number Of women, and had them
huddled on the platform at the depot
waiting for special car to be brought
Tho crowd blockaded the way, and Po-
liceman Ware told him to get them up
near JHe emu OF tne platform. Pore-
CRIME himself was in the way and the
officer took him by the arm and pushed
? him along. This so enraged him that
he began to curse and swear, when the
officer took him into custody and started
with him to the stationhouse.
Immediately there was CONSERVATION
among the negroes and many followed
with demonstrative actions, and spoke
of making rush to release the pris-
Oner. But just as the officer got in
front of the Gale building, Peregrine
asked to be taken to the general pas
senger agents office. This request was
granted, and it was soon determined to
get the crowd out Of the way, and a
special car was at once brought around.
The officer was told to let the negro go
IL he would behave himself.
In the meantime the crowd had scat
tered, and could not be gotten together
in time to embark on the special car.
There were several old offenders among
them that Roanoke can we'll afford to
lose. They left last night for their des.
tinatiOn.

About Seeding.

John Severn will crop 700 acres this
year, 600 of them to wheat. He is now
half through seeding. He does not ex-
pect to finish until the latter part OF
May, and says that is no later than usual
with him.
A. w. Cunningham is cropping 300
acres this year. OF that, $50 acres a-e
now seeded. He says the whole 800 will
be seeded by week from tonight. Mr..
Cunningham thinks it all depends upon
the season whether early or late seeding
is Observation-Disclosures one does better,
some seasons the other. This season, he
says, the very early grain is full of buck
wheat and weeds Webb looks for big
crop. "There will be larger acreage
this year than last" he said. "Every
farmer know OF is putting in every acre
possible"
c.. G. Thomas is a firm believer IN late
sowing. He has not commenced seeding
yet-so it is said. The advocates of late
seeding claim that in the late sowing the
narrowing kills the starting weeds and
the ground being already warmed up, the
seed quickly terminates. For the latter
reason they claim that the crop is little
if any longer in maturing. while the
danger of weed smothering Is avoided.
lsiaah Cunningham will finish seeding
his $50 acres tonight. He then proposes
to plow and seed IS acres more.

A Warm and Wet April.

Bismarck Tribune: The monthly me-
neurological summaryas printed elsewhere
shows April of this year to have been the
warmest on record, save 1889, which was
70 higher. The rainfall is above the aver
age Of the records for the past five years.
Sixty eight hundredths of an inch in
1890 as against 2.4O inches this year.
Speaking OF an "inch of rain," few peo-
pie have definite idea of what is meant
and it may aid such to follow this calcu-
lation: An acre is equal to 6,272.64O
square inches; an inch deep Of water,
on this area will be as many cubic inches
Of water, which at 227 to the gallon, is
$1,000 gallons. This immence quantity
of water will weigh 10000 pounds, or
100 tons. One.hundredth (.OD of an inch
alone is equal to ton of water to the
acre. Following this out, Burleigh
county contains in round number l,1OO,-
600 acres. 4 total precipitation of 2.4O
inches during the month means that in
the past thirty days 2,64O,0OO tons oi
water fell in this county alone.

Interest in Militia Matters.

There was good attendance at the
Light Guards meeting Wednesday night.
The passage of the militia law last winter
and the appropriation of liberal Hum
for the maintenance of the department
seems to bave stirred up the tagging in
terest in the militia. 1t is settled fact
that there will be an encampment this
summer and companies all over the state
are holding regular drills and endeavor-
ing to get in first class shape for that
time. 1t is understood that the time Of
most of the members of Company H is
about to expire. Captain Schwellenbach
states that most of the members have
signlGed an intention to re-enlist, and it
is hoped that such will be done. The
jamestown guards have always been re-
garded as ono OF the best companies IN
the state anG The Alert hopes to see
them maintain their high standard. The
company kept up it's organization dur
ing the past year when there was sus.
pension of all militia laws and now that
a new law aud an appropriation have
come together, a revival of tie old inter.
est in the company is expected to be
made apparent. The new appropriation
is said to be just right for the present
militia. Several new companies want to
organize, but it is understood that Gov.
ernor Burke refuses to permit them 50
to do, unless some of the present com.
panies are mustered out.

That '.RObber Tarlff'' Once More.

A Wahpeton man recently returned
from an extended trip to the Atlantic
coast going and returning through Can
ada, to Portland. Maine. As result Of
his trip he tells the Wahpeton Globe that
If he lived in the provinces he would be
free trader, but is convinced more than
ever that protection is great benefit to
the farmers of the United States. Can.
ada raises the same agricultural pro-
ducts as the states across the line.
As IN all agricultural districts they
raise to sell. The natural markets for
their products, above that
necessary for home consumption, is the
United States. And here is just where
the 'robber' tariff steps in and pro-
tects the American farmer.
The duty on potatoes is 25c.
per bushel, eggs sc. per doz., and 80 per
cent. on grain and horses. Now the pro-
fit of their business is less than that of
the American farmer to the amount of
this duty. This duty revenue goes to
the support of our government, and if
not raised in this way would be raised
by direct taxation. How Dakota far
particularly a North Dakota far
mer-can be anything but protection

bic. Canada sold us last year $11,-
100000 worth of barley. They will not
be able to do that this year If our Amer
ican farmers will only produce the gram,
because the Mckinley bill levies duty
Of 30 per cent. on barley, which is just
that much discrimination between the
American and Canadian farmer, in favor
of the American. North Dakota is one
of the finest countries in the world for
the production of barley, and our farm
ers ought to grow it very extensively,
and take advantage Of the favors our
government gives them. Manitoba and
the northwest territories are great wheat
producing territories. Would it be better
for our North Dakota farmers for all
the millions of bushels of this Canadian
wheat to be dumped on the Duluth and
Minneapolis markets? It would be were
it not for the tariff protecting us against
it.
Let the North Dakota farmer, who
growls about low prices, consider that
