The wheat crop just harvested in N.
d. exceeds 50,000,000 bushels. Com
missioner of Agriculture Helgesen's
official estimate, places the wheat ac-
reage at 8, 200, 900 acres, with an aver
age yield of II bushels to the acre,
making the aggregate 81, 900, 900 bush

the actual crop. Wheat threshed in
Grand Forks county to-day yielded
38 bushels to the acre. In Nelson

oats.

Mrs. Grant is stopping at the Grand

Of the many different springs in
Saratoga, I can say but little. 1t is
the thing, of course, to get up early
and take the water before breakfast.
I have tried several, and prefer the
Congress Spring, and, indeed, it is the
most popular. 1t is at the entrance of
Congress Park, and a good orchestra
stationed there makes it very pleas
ant to stroll around between "drinks."
The Geyser and Vichy springs, which
are about two miles from here, are
both lannon's, but are very mild. Their
water is taken in the evening to pro-
duce sleep, or as cooling drink thro'
the day, but are by no means power
full waters like the Congress or Haw-
thorne, which are the two most i'm
portant. The Geyser spouts 80 feet
The Vichy and Geyser water can be
obtained in town, but many go to
Geyserville on barges or the electric
car, it is such pleasant trip. This is
the only electric car route in the place
but they hope to extend it to Sarato
ga Lake next year.

An officer in the Austrian army has
devised a system of wires and electric
arrangements calculated to shock an
enemy into the next world when he
comes foOling around, and grave dis
cussion develops as to whether such a
thing does not properly belong among
poisoned bullets, ragged edged swords
and other things of the sort forbidden
in civilized warfare because they need
lessly torture the victim. Never mind.
Any army trying to protect itself by
electricity in the present state of
knowledge of the mysterious force
will be sure to suffer a good deal more
than the enemy does.-HerdJd.

Deafness can't be cured by local applica-
tions, as they cannot reach the diseased por-
tion of the ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional RENE
dies. Deafness is coused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
When it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
takened out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by cat
arrh, which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that we
connot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

Tho Chine.e bounced From milton.

Report comes from Milton that gen
eral raid was instituted there Wednes-
day night against the Chinese. The
story goes that about one hundred men
went to the Chinese quarter and led the
celestials out with ropes around their
necks, afterward compelling them to
leave town. 1t is conjectured that the
raid is the result of hiring coolies in the
place of white labors on the railroad Sec
tlons. 1t is said that the Cinnamon
were roughly handled, and that two
were pretty badly hurt.
Since the above was in type the report
has been confirmed. The firing party
consisted of discharged white section
hands and sympathizing Milton citizens,
and all Cinnamon in the vicinity, coolies
and wash-house celestials, were inconti-
nently bounced. Milton people will
take care that they do not return, as
the general sentiment there is said to be
against the Chinese.
Discharged white section hands con-
gregated at Pendleton shortly after the
removal, and were bitter in their denun.
citation of the railroad company. Jay
Gould, the Chinese, and of the public
for allowing Chinese to remain in the
country. They threatened to raid the
section house at Cayuse, and were prob
ably among the Milton raiders.-Easi

In the s'Year Book of Mayor Bryan,
of Charleston, s. c., extracts are pub
ished from the diary of Capt. Barnard
Elliott. soldier of the olden time. In
cluded is ''the true story" of Sergt. Jas
per and his famous ''Don't let us fight
without flag" In the battle Of Fort
Moultrie the story runs thus, according
to Capt. Elliott:
"The flagstaff being shot down, and
the staff falling to the ground in the
heat of battle, Jasper called to his
colonel, Moultrie:
Sc Colonel, don't let us fight without
our colors.'
&C How can you help it? replied the
colonel; the staff is gone
&c Then will replace it, said John,
upon which he leaped over the wall,
took the flag and tied it to sponge staff, /,
and stuck it upon the merton of the bas-
ton near the enemy, gave three huzzas
in the dangerous place he stood, and re-
tired to his gun, where he fought with
his gallant company to the end of the
battle.'

-Four years ago Miss Lena Woodard

Four years ago Miss Lena Woodard,
living on Thorn creek, Wash, sowed the
seed from one head of barley. She har-
vested the crop with pair of shears,
and sowed the amout received the next
year, again harvesting it with her shears.
The third crop her father cut with a
grass scythe, getting enough barley from
this crop to sow forty acres last spring,
which averaged forty bushels to the acre
when thrashed, making total yield of
1000 bushels from one head of barley in
four years,
