County Commissioners of Sibley County
ct al. respondent. Order affirmed.
MITCHELL. j.
The failure to post list of the
electors ten days prior to the election
is not sufficient ground for rejecting
the votes of the precinct following
former decisions. Neither is the re-
fusal of the judges to allow an eiector
to be present in the room as chal-
lenger of votes in the absence of evil
dence that any injustice resulted. Nor
is the fact that the polls were kept ope II
after the hour for closing, in the
absence of any evidence that
any votes were cast after
that hour. A notice that an election
will be contested on the ground that "a
large number of legal voters desired
and attempted to cast their votes, but,
with the knowledge, consent and con-
nivance of the judges of election, were
by violence and threats prevented from
so DOING" is too general and indefinite
as specification of ground of contest.
1t is not error to dismiss the proceed
ings on the ground of the inSufficiencvz
of the specifications of points upon
which an election will be contested. at
least in the absence of any offer or ap-
plication for leave to amend the Speci-
ficatiOnS.

Sparks From locomotives.

Henry Hoy, respondent, VS.. The Chicago,
Milwaukee q st. Paul Railway Company,
appallent. Order affirmed.
MITCHELL, j.
While the railway companies are not
bound to use every possible precaution
which the highest scientific skill might
have suggested to prevent the escape of
fire from their locomotives. yet they are
required to exercise a degree of care
reasonably proportionate to the risks to
be apprehended; and IN view of the
great danger to property from fires
communicated from passing locomO-
tieves, reasonable care requires that
they should avail themselves of the
best approved practicable Appliances
for the prevention of fires. Whet-
er in this case the defendant was
negligent in continuingthe use of GER
tain kind of engine was, under the evil
action to recover for the destruction of
grove of trees standing upon farm,
the measure of damages is the value
which the trees added to the farm,
which may be proved by the value of
the farm with the trees standing on it,
and then its value with the trees de-
stroyed; following Garner vs.. Railway
Company, 43. A witness having testi-
fed that he saw the fire which caused
the injury start from another source, it
was proper, for the purpose of impeach-
ment, to ask him if he had
not stated at another time
and place that it started from
the locomotive. While all instruction
that lit was the duty of the defendant
to supply the engine with the best
known and aScertained appliances to
prevent the escape of fire." considered
as general abstract statement of the
law, may not be strictly accurate, yet in
this case, when taken in connection
with other parts of the charge modify
ing or explaining it, and considered in
the light of the only evidence to which
it could be applied, it contained no
prejudical error. Rules laid down in
former decisions as to granting new
trials on the ground ofnewly discovered

The American Agriculturist in It's Sep
tember issue will present the following
crop estimates: On the basis of present
crop prospects this authority estimates
the corn crop of 1891 at 1900, 100000
bushels, wheat 5O0OOO,OOO bushels, and
oats 622,OO0,OOO bushels. This makes a
total prospective crop of corn, wheat and
oats of 3,l22, 600 900 bushels, or 1873 per
cent greater than last year, and 14.7 per
cent over the average Of the preceding
eleven years. The Agriculturist be.
lleves unless unexpected influences Who'll,
ly change the current of events, the value
of corn on the farm will average so cents
a bushel, wheat 81 bushel, and oats at
least 40 cents. On this basis the value
of the corn crop to the farmers will be
81, ,OOO,O0O,0OO; wheat $5OO,O0O,OOO, and
oats $3.50, 100000, or total of $780,
100000. This is $3.50, 100000 more than
the value of those crops in 1890, and
1926, 100000 more than the value of the
average Of these crops from 1880 to 1880
inclusive.

Declaring Themselves.

One of the delegates to the late pro-
hibltiOn enforcement convention, and an
editor of an influential English republi-
can journal, expressed himself to an
Alert representative as being "a republi-
can first, and a prohlbitlonist after
wards" or words to that effect. He
came from a northern county, and said
the law was as near success in his
neighborhood as 1t could be made
hence his belief in it's utility, and his
sympathy with those advocating statu-
tory prohibition. At the same time, he
believed more fully in tho righteousness
of the national republican party, and in
the event of third party assuming to
champion prohibition in North Dakota,
he deemed 1t his duty to stand by his
republican principles, and let the indie.
pendents take care of the other question
to their hearts content. It remains to
be seen how many more republican
prohibition statesmen take q similar
view of the situation, but one effect of
the organization effected here last Fri
day will be felt sooner or later-the
"trimmers" will be forced to a show of
hands.

A Word as to SIN Judges.

The necessity for smudges has prob
ably passed, but the following instruc.
tions as to their proper preparation may
be found interesting. q. A. Lalzure
writes thus to the Fargo Republican:
1t is a lamentable fact that the smudg-
ing of grain has been, in my opinion,
generally misunderstood. In conversa-
tion with many farmers, find that they
have delayed their smudging until mid
night, and in many cases until or 3
o'clock in the morning. The object of
the smudges is not to effect the tempera-
ture by heat, as much as it is to create
cloud cf smoke. It is smoke that is
needed. and hence the more smoke. the
better. 1t is evident that the frost is
nothing but frozen dew, and it Is also
evident that on still night dew begins
to fall just about sunset, and consequent
ly the smudge ought to begin before the
dew falls and be kept up all night, or
until the condition changes that is favor
able to frost, which would be windy, or
cloudy. Then when the temperature is
reached to convert dew i2to frost, you
will readily see that there would be no
dew to freeze, and hence no frost.
There is no frost without dew, and there
would be no dew, if you begin in time to
create the artificial cloud; but if you wait
till after midnight to light your smudge,
the dew is already on the gram, and then
it will freeze in spite of the smudge.
