broidered chifron and the same fabric
finished the corsage and pulled sleeves.
The veil was of softest tulle and fell over
the face. The bridal bouquet VS. a
lovely bunch of tied roses.
Among those who sent their regrets
were President and Mrs. Harrison. They
were accompanied by a note to the bride,
in which the President said:
There will, I am sure, be two persons
who without me can say each MY cup
runneth OVER If the the disappointed
man. so much in my company recently,
should be at the feast, show him such
compassion as you can.
With every good wish to you and the
man to whom you have given your trust,
l am Most sincerely your friend,

evening train for their home in Indiana.
Harvest Glory.
Frank J. Meade the writer for the
Minneapolis Tribune sums up his recent
inspection trip through the Ozone state
as follows:
"The summer is ended even if the
harvest is not entirely past in North Da-
koto and the final summing up of the
crop prospects in that most favored of
agricultural commonwealth is possible.
The present week will find nearly all of
the small grains in the shock through
out the immense fields, and the threshers
busy at work separating the golden grain
from the straw and the chat.
The writer has visited 1854 grain fields
in North Dakota during the past three
weeks, travelling for that purpose nearly
1,70O miles, and covering a scope Of
country from Fargo northward to Penn
bina and Neche, and westward to Bis
marck on the Missouri river. No crop
of wheat at all comparable to that OF
this year, 1891, has ever been harvested
upon the fertile plains of our sister state.
Being personally present, and having
Travelled some score Of miles in the wheat
region since the frost of ten days ago, it
is my firm conviction that the actual
damage to the wheat will not exceed
seven per cent. for the entire state-the
collateral injury by a reduction in grades
will be more, possibly ten or fifteen per
cent. Flax was badly injured, and in
nearly every section visited corn was al
most entirely annihilated. The full
damage, actual and collateral, to all
crops, vegetable and cereal, will pro,
badly reach eigteen or twenty per cent.
But this loss is insignificant when
compared with the total production. It
might be fully double what it is, and
still the state of North Dakota would
receive 100 per cent. more money for
what remains than has been paid into
the state during any one Of the past five
years. I do not think it unreasonable
to assert that North Dakota will actually
receive in cash for this years crop be-
tween this time and the harvest of 1892
fully 1886, 100000.
As to grades: The wheat now being
threshed in almost every instance is 60
ing No. 1 hard. That marketed later
may show a slight falling off because OF
frosted wheat, but there does not live a
man who can at this time tell with any
kind of definiteness just how badly the
later sown grain has been injured.
At any rate, during my 20 days s~ojourn
in the wheat fields of North Dakota
learned that the crop was 80 immense
and unexampled that in almost every in
stance the experienced farmers were un.
derestimating the yield fully 20 pei
cent. In no single instance where thresh.
ing operations had commenced had the
wheat fallen short of previous estimates
in numberless cases it had exceeded in
yield even the most sanguine predic-
tions.
Finally. It is a great year for the
wheat farmers, and it does not take the
gift of inspiration to predict that the
yield Of 1891 will prove the largest eve1
know in history throughout the states OF
Minnesota and North and South Dako.
