One Year Ago!

The county was all torn up with pol
itics-chiefly Republican.
Mrs. Ernest Grierson returned from
Ontario.
There was a light frost on the night
of the 3rd.
Red River fever was prevalent.
There were ten glandered horses shot
in the vicinity of Elkwood and Hannah.
Harvey Mathisen returned from
two-months visit in MINI.
Milton gave birth to the Tomahawk.
Harvesting was general between the
8th and 18th.
The Democratic state ticket was
nominated at Grand Forks.
The distention of the stomach which
many people feel after eating, may be
due to improper mastication of the
food; but, in most cases, it indicates a
weakness of the digestive organs, the
best remedy for which is one of Ayers
Pills, to be taken after dinner.
Why do people wait until man is
sick and can't eat to send him good
thingss When he is well, and would
like something good, no neighbor
comes in with fancy jeliIes, old wines,
and things like that. Things are very
unfair.

The following valuable statistics
gathered from the report of the
Commissioner Of Agriculture for
the year ending October 81, 1890,
will be of interest to our readers:
There were sown 67,l56 acres of
wheat which averaged l39 bushels
per acre, making total of 5000
bushels: ll,74s acres Of oats which
averaged 274 bushels per acre; total
323,O7O. 4,O4O bushels of barley,
average 224 bushels per acre; total
10000. 6,2o1 acres of flax; average
per acre, 5 bushels; total 31,OO5
bushels. 338 acres of potatoes,
average $50 bushels per acre, total
$4,000 bushels. 1924 tons of mil
lett were also grown. There are
only five counties in the state that
exceed the total amount of wheat
raised in Cavalier, and but two,
Pembina and Cass counties, that
exceeded the average per acre.
There were in all, S5,S0S acres
under cultivation. Thepresent cash
value of farms including improve
ments is placed at $l,6+1'594; of
farm implements and machinery,
$s1,376. The bonded Indebtedness
is $3o,5oo. The population accord
ing to the last census is 6,47l-which

There is bound to be struggle
between the wheat growers and
wheat gamblers this fall. Whether
the farmers win or lose they will
have gained a victory. II theyfwin
their wheat will be sold for what
it is worth-if they lose-it will be
after a hard-fought battle, and the
gamblers will entertain whole
some respect for the "mossbacks"
and will not be so eager to sell the
wheat crop before it is grown.

The sands already encircled his waist
and the surface of the stream just

A very few moments and the hidden,

with silent and torturous deliberation,

Then he tried to direct the natives,
by gestures, to join hands and deliver

In vain. Either they would not or
could not understand him.
In wild despair he gave a cry that
penetrated far across the Jungle.
Fortunately the wind was blowing
up stream and carried the sound TO
Lord Nathby's ears, with alarming dis.

Fearing that his friend Ballantyne
was beset by the natives, Nathby or.

so as to have them IN er control in

all made their best speed in the direc-

As they broke through the bushes,
the water was just creeping above Bal.

The PROSTATE natives leaped to their
feet, called to their companions who
had Just arrived with Lord Nathby,
and together started to break away
across the jungle.
"Stop!" cried tathby, in the native

but to no avail, The native only contin-

At last Ba.lantyne became thorough
ly impatient at such apparent stupidity
and, handing his gun to another native
waded out to secure the fowl himself
If he had shanced to glance into the
countenance Of his natives as he did so
he would have seen an expression Of
mingled wonder and fear But he
looked only at where he was stepping
and at the handsome bird.
A ne made the last step which
brought him to where he could stoop
and pick up the game he felt the soil
on the bed Of the stream give" under
the pressure Of his weight more readily

Then he tried to lift his foot and turn
towards shore.
1t stuck fast. Still he had no COM
prehension Of his situation and thought
lessIy brought his other foot forward to
a position where he could get better
foothold by which to draw himself free
from the sticky mudhole in the bottom
of the detestable stream. His other
foot sank down as quickly as the first.
This gave him a vague start. He
peered steadily down through the cur
rent until he could sec the bed Of the
stream. 1t was not mud but quictsqnd!
How softly and eagerly it drew him
down.
Help me! Help mel I'm in the

But the natives only huddled closer
together and did not stir
Inch by inch, swiftly and more swift

Take hold of hands, I say, and pull

Then, as the natives looked more

before an idol, the terrible realization

Pincher Creek country, Canada. He
had gone to India, after leaving the
university, as the guest of a young
nobleman, where they were to enjoy
together a couple Of years Of hunting
and adventure, before beginning their
life careers. Quite naturally they an
ticipated the possibility of a perilOus
encounter with some striped lord of
the Jungle,
But the de vouring jaws in which
young Ballantyne so nearly met his
death few weeks after tx e'rival
in the hunting districts wef : roy
more terrible than those of tn de disea1
Bengal beast.
At least this is the young hunters
view of the matter-and as he made
flying trip over several rods of jungle
some months later in the jaws Of a
'man-eater, his judgment as to which
experience was the most terrible should
count for much.
1t was in the flush of the season for
waterfowl shooting and as there was
a small marshy stream near them they
decided to 90 out in the early morn
ing and fill their bags with fowl
They were unprepared for that kind
Of shooting, inasmuch as they could
find, on short notice, no trained dogs
to retrieve their birds But they did
the next best thing and engaged ma
lives who were as entirely ignorant Of
the English language as young Bal
lantyne was at that time of the native
tongue.
About the only native word whose
meaning he then understood was 'sa-
hib." Lord Nathby, however, had
picked up quite a smattering of the
commonest native words.
The morning was triHe too clear for
excellent waterfowl shooting, so the
hunters, TO increase their chances for
success, separated, each taking an
equal number of the natives.
There was a long stretch of wet jun
gle or swamp, deepening in the center
to a shallow stream.
A line of tall, close bushes ranged
across this swail, from dry land to the
running stream, dividing it into two
sections Of about equal extent.
Ballantyne held the lower of these
areas while Lord Nathby and his ma
tives pushed through the dense thiclket
Although each party was completely
hid from the sight of the other, each
could Judge closely of the others posi-
ton by the frequent booming of the
guns.
In this way Ballantyne knew that he
and his friend were working further
and further apart, towards opposite
ends of the swamp,
But he thought nothing of this, as his
natives gave him no trouble, but would
quickly run and retrieve bird as soon
as they saw il fall
BY the time he reached the extreme
end Of the marsh, the bags which the
natives carried were well filed with
fowl and the heat Of the sun was be-
ginning to tell upon him. So he decid-
ed TO hunt no more, but 60 directly to
the bushes and see if his friend was
not ready to return to the camp.
No sooner had he formed this resolu-
ton than provolsingly frequent Aoc<s
of fowl went trailing overhead with de-
risivc screams.
But he was a young man Of unusual
decision, and IL took considerable TO
turn him from even trihing or casual
determination. SO il was not until

A NEW YACHT.
The Fine Addition Recently Made
 the List of New Haven ROats.

The Fine Addition Recently Made to the List of New Haven Boats. One of the handsomest naphtha yachts ever launched is at present lying at anchor short distance off the float of the New Haven Yacht club. It is the property of Messrs. Charles and Tom Pratt, whose father was, up to the time of his death, the owner and controller of all the gas in- terests of St. Louis. The family has only recently moved to this city, although the young men are graduates of the Hopkins Grammar school.
 The yacht was built for them last spring by the Gas Engine and Power company of of Morris Dock Station, N. Y., concern well known for it's high standard of work manship.
 It has length over all of 35 feet and a The frame is of black walnut and oak, covered with copper fastened cedar plank ing, the deck being of white pine with mahogany trimmings. All the metal used for rails, blocks and cleats is polished brass. In the bow is an open cabin or pilot house finished in polished mahogany All the cushions here are of leather, filled with cork, so that they can be used for ife-preservers in case of emergency. Aft of this is the main saloon. Here it is that no expense has been spared. The wood work is polished oak, on the floor is soft Persian carpet, the cushions are covered with blue plush and silk curtains screen the windows. The two bracket lamps are made of silver and the curtain rods and other metallic fixtures are all of the same material
 When it is time to turn in two beds can be made up on the lockers, accommodating four people. The galley is aft of the sa- loon and contains an oil stove and all the necessary utensils for cooking.
 Tho ten-horse power engine in the stern drives the boat through the water at an average speed of ten miles an hour Working under pressure two miles more an hour can be obtained from it. Here is also placed the eighty gallon tank, which contains the supply of fresh water. In the bow is an ice chest where 200 hundred pounds of ice can be stored. Electric bells and speaking tube furnish means of com munication between the pilot and the engineer.
 Mir. Tom Pratt starts the last part of this week to take trip up the Hudson in her. He will go as far up as her draught will all low. The Cygnet, for such she is styled, will be in commission all of this summer around Bar Harbor. Next year Messrs. Pratt intend to build an eighty-f foot steam yacht, and if she is as fine in proportion as the one they own at present the New Ha- ven Yacht club may well be proud to have their pennant float at her masthead.

The Opening Lower-The Early Trading Marked by Vigorous Pounding of the Leading Shares.
 NEW YORK. June 8.
 Railroad bonds were even less animated than usual of late, the sales reaching only 9,0O0 and while the general list showed only the most significant changes, few important losses were scored St. Paul. l. and M sevens lost at Ill., Erie seconds 11a at s616 and Cleveland and Pittsburg sinking fund sevens IS at 113.
 Stocks opened slightly lower, and while Jersey Central was off per cent, Louisville and Nash vile was down A per cent. The early trading was marked by the usual vigorous pounding of the few leading shares, and at the lowest figures they were down from 15 to 11a per cent, the selling, however, was seemingly easier than buying, and the movement soon came to an end, followed by the same dullness and stagnation which has of late become so marked feature of the dealings in the middle of the day. Prices slowly crept up in the absence of pressures to sell and the early losses were nearly recovered, except in Louisville and Nashville, which was heavy all the way out The final trading was enIivened by a small demonstration against val ues but, like the earlier one, 1t was short-hved.
 The market, in meantime, failed to respond to the advance in Chicago Gas, and 1t finally closed dull and steady, generally at small fractions be- low the opening prices as rule.
