North Dakota Rains.

ST. PAUL, July 13.-The Pioneer
Press specials from various points in
North Dakota report heavy rams during
the past twenty-four and forty-eight
hours, which have caused many wash
outs on the railroads and much des-
truction to property. A special from
Mandan, n. D., says: Between 300 and
400 westbound passengers on the North
ern Pacific stopped here to-day, the ire
mendous rains of last night and this
morning washing out large number of
small bridges and culverts, and portions
of the track west of here. All the bridges
gone are small ones, those of Heart river
being all intact. The Heart river is
running back full and has been rising
during the afternoon. In town most of
the sidewalks are floating along the
streets. A number of cellars are full and
a good deal of damage has been done.
The rain extended from west of Mendoza
to jamestown, and poured in torrents
for several hours. This supposed arid
region has had enough rain to insure a
boun teous crop.

Will Buy Our Mheat,

WASHINGTON, July 13.--Reports on
harvest prospects in France and Europe
have been received at the state depart
ment from Commercial Agent Griffin, of
Limoges, France. The National Millers'
Association, the report says, has issued
an estimate showing the yield of wheat
for 1891 to be 81 per cent. less than the
harvest of 1890 Russia, Tunis, Egypt,
Romania and some Danubian provinces
have fair harvests In Hungary it will
be below the average this year.
The estimates given by the Mlllers'
report says: "Optimists show that their
desire to create an impression of better
supply than really exists is done with a
purpose. They want to buy grain as
cheaply as possible in those countries to
export"
In conclusion the report says not only
France but all Europe is looking long
ingly to the wheat fields of the United
States

Gerry store of Fl. NJ. Robinson and the
hardware store Of Scott Bros. Il Sell

The thieves bored holes in the door Il
Mr.. Robinson's store and turned the

they broke glass in the show window

Views of State Farmers Alliance.

FORT WORTH, Texas, July 12.-The
following resolutions, having a national
bearing, were adopted yesterday by the
anti sub-treasury state convention OF
the Farmers Alliance:
Resolved, That we denounce the sub
treasury and land loan schemes and
government ownership of railroads as a
violation of the first principles of good
government, as paternal in their charac-
ter, as centralizing in their tendencies.
and if enacted into laws they would
create such a horde of national office
holders as would fasten the clutches of
the party in power upon the Threats of
the people so strongly that the voices of
the honest, patriotic citizens would no
longer be heard in the control of Gov
eminent affairs. We demand that these
men who are not farmers be removed
from the national and state offices of our
order, and that none but those who have
their interest in farming be allowed to
fill such places. We now appeal to all
honest members of the alliance through
out the United States to unite with us
in putting down this common enemy and
disgrace of our order. To this end we
most earnestly recommend the brother
alliance men of the United States to
meet in national convention in st. Louis
on the third Tuesday of September, 1891.
Resolved, That we most heartily in
dorse the course Of Hon. j. S. Hall.
president of the State Alliance of Mis-
souri,, in refusing to concur in the action
in the case of G. W. McCunn in opposi-
ton to the sub-treasury scheme. We
earnestly pledge all our support in the
noble and manly work to rid the order.
both state and national, of all shackIes
which will retard its strength for ulti-
mate success.

A Moss-hack Town.

Citizens of Vollmer. Are you sur
prlsed this week at the size OF the We
dette! Ii yon are your surprise may be
easily unfounded by looking at it's adj
vertising columns. We are simply try-
ing to put ourselves on a level with our
mossoack citizens, and are simply trying
TO pass away the time inventing some
science to stand off the wash woman for
this weeks washing, while we are waiting
for the sheriff to come out and demand
the keys to our print shop Remember
citizens this is not mere idle talk, but
facts based upon fundamental truth
A little over eleven months ago we
came to Vollmer with our outfit anC
started into business, and the future o
Vollmer seemed bright, not star marreC
the canopy before us, but alas, what il
she now? We have over twenty bushes
houses, and the home patronage of tn,
Vedette does not amount to $40 pc
month.
We do not claim to be a saint by an
means, but we have always tried to b
honest, and have tried to follow the gold
en- rule. If you owe us anything W
would like to have you come in and settl
up, as money we must have and that i'm
mediately.
Vollmer has two general merchandis
stores and a grocery, neither of who
have in line of advertising, two hard
ware firms, one of which is supporting
81 per month advertisement, and W
thank them for that much
We have been swindled and lied to b
politicians and Office seekers until we ca
hardly distinguish whether we are
democrat or a republican.
The Townsite Company has done a
it agreed to and more, and we appreciat
their favors. We hope our citizens wi
now come forward and plant liberal ad
vertisements in the Vedette and help u
make Vollmer what she deserves to be
one of the best little towns in Mort
Idaho.-Vedette.
