LIE DAKOTA FROSTS.

MINNEAPOIIs MINI, August 2+-Dis-
patches covering Minnesota, North aud
South Dakota, Wisconsin and also western
Iowa have been received in regard to the
late frost. The district particularly COW
cred is the wheat fields O Minnesota and
the Dakotas, and the reports are most
encouraging. Generally speaking very
light damage has been done to wheat
Where there has been any il is in scattered
sections and only 10 late sown wheat, the
early Sown beiuy ont of the way. Taking
all together the damage is not enough to
make any difference in the size OF the crop
OF grade OF the grain.
" hat damage was done was mainly to
corn and garden truck and this damage is
confined TO scattered sections
The points IN North Dakota reporting
damage are Oakes, where late wheat was
seriously injured and corn almost de
stroyed: LidLewood. wheat and oats in
jured per cent, and Mandau, corn slightly
injured
In South Dakota serious damage 10 corn
ANA late wheat aud flax was done at \ Der

Grand Forks. Bismarck. Miner Penn

grain. \ Huron = d. dispatch says no
damage was done IN the Jim river valley.

THE KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS


KANSAS CITY, Mo, August 24-There
is trouble at the stock yards over the
weighing of interstate cattle received at
the yards. Tho Western Weighing asso-
citation wishes 10 weigh every car Of stock
received there, claiming that the shippers
from Missouri and Kansas are crowding
and Overlooking their cars, frequently
putting as much as 26,G'0 10 30 600 pounds
in a -, OO0-pound car. This makes "A loss
10 the railroad companies Of from ST TO 50
per car frequently. and besides this results
in Gripping and bruising the stock.
The railroad commissioners refuse TO
allow the weighing OF stock shipped from
Missouri and Kansas points on It's arrival
here. so that the efforts of the weighing
association TO prevent the overlooking Of
cars in these states is as yet of no avail.
They are allowed to weigh all stock from
points outside of these states. but the COM
mission. by not allowing them to weigh
stock from Interstate points, cOmpels the
railroads 20 haul loads of sc, 600 pounds for
q price based on loads of 22 900 pounds.
Frequently mixed loads are received, the
hogs being in many cases injured and un-
lit for slaughter. This Is a gross violation
Of the state law, but the stock being un-
loaded largely at night, and in all cases
soon after its arrival at the yards it is
quite impossible for the officers to do any
thing to prevent this violation. If the
stock received had to be weighed by the
Weighing association, then all these al
legged violations would be at once dlscov-
cred.
About n year ago the Humane society
made a descent ou he yards and had
number of parties heavily fined for their
violations, bat since then the society has
not been heard OF in that department. and
the violations are now as fisgrant and
numerous rs ever
Parties not around the yards have no
idea Of the wretchcd condition in which
mixed cars OF stock frequently arrive, re-
marked stock yards man. In making
long hsuls the cattle become tired and
rest less from being crowded into an over
loaded car and stamp the hogs breaking
their legs and ripping them open often
with their hools BY standing and stamp
iuE In the filth and steam during a long
hot ride their feet become diseased Rud
the stock totally unit for slaughter or use.
Ii is "a wretched condition OF affairs and
demands heroic measures. both from a
humane and sanitary point Of view. The
RvarciouS shipper may lose hog or two,
but by overlooking his car he saves enough
IN freight charges TO more than balance
his loss
Frequently in shipping calves the cars
are double-ieC>ed, and in such cases often
the calves on the upper deck are compel ed

IAw-DEFYING FANATICS.

MOBILE. Ala, August 24-The affair in
Choctaw county, wherein the IahatdC"l
family of Robt. Sims has come IN conflict
with the United States, promises to be-
come OF unusual prominence by reason OF
the belief on the part of Sims followers
that Sims is the temporal manifestation or
their God. The sect numbers 100 or more
in Choctaw and Clarke counties, anu mas
members in Mississippi also. They pup
Hsh "A paper called The Veil is Rent, or
which Robert Sims daughter is the edl-
trese. This paper is filled with the doctrlns
of the sect, and advocates reputation ol
all human authority, the Bible being the
guide and Robert Sims the Interpreter, as
he is also their exemplar. He has SET the
fashion of defying authorities, ana mas ter
rified the county. 1t is said that there has
been pending state warrant against MIN

runs a still in defiance of the law, and even
has hewn out broad highway from the
public road to his place OF business. lie
has an advertisement of the still IN the
sect's organ, with the announcement OF
the davs when the still will run. Jim
Sims. who WAS shot while rescuing his
brot her Friday night, declared after the
affray that he had come to effect the
rescue or die, and as he had been successful
he was ready to die This shows the ex-
tent of the fanatical feelings, and there are
at least 100 men ready to lay down their
lives at Robert Sims command. They
are all well armed and thoroughly
acquainted with the land. Marshal Walk
er will make a determined effort to over
come the outlaws and kill their influence.

THE GRAIN MOVEMENT.

CHICAGO August "a There was sharp
reaction in all markets on change today.
Immense receipts and easier cables more
than offset heavy exports and reports of
damage by frost There was a rally, how
ever, from the break, and Deem ber closed
only Il cent under Saturday nights prices.
The frost line was found to be too far
north to have seriously injured corn, and
in The face of actual receipts OF S22 cars to-
day and prospective receipts of 939 cars to-
morrow, values went to pieces. Prices
were but slightly improved at the close.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, August 24-The re-
ceipts of wheat at this point within the
last few weeks have been very large. The
receipts today are reported at 667 cars,
which is the greatest number Of cars of
wheat ever received in one day. The
largest number received on one day here
tofore was 6l0 cars in 1882. The Chicago
and Alton road has refused to take any
more grain, as both of its elevators are
filled. The Missouri Pacific road has $50
cars in its yards waiting to be unloaded,
the Santa Fe has 500, the Union Pacific
700, and the other roads enough to make a
total of over 2,300 cars of unlOaded grain.

TERRITORIAL NOTES.

GUTHRIE, Ok, August 24.-The Chero-
KEGS who recently visited Arkansas City
are not in harmony with the proposed plan
of paying the $5O,o 900 to tho Cherokees, rs
heretofore the big chiefs have kept the
money Neither do they wish to enter
into any plan whereby the money is to be
paid to chiefs. They say allot all the
lands Cherokee oublet) to us, or buy
the strip. They think they should have
50. so per acre. The cattlemen are afraid to
put any money in the scheme. The Cher
okees say the cattlemen put up the 5000
that Mayes spent on the election. Bushy-
head paid his own expenses. The boomers
will certainly burn the strip as soon as it
is sufficiently dry. The grass being long
the fire will be terrible one, and it will
certainly result in great destruction of
property for all OF which the administra-
tion will be to blame
Oklahoma City will prove to be quite a
central point OF divergence when it comes
to opening the new lands. There is a
scheme on foot that will certainly give her
an advantage as starting point.
Delegate Harvey says he will not proba-
bly, return to Washington until the next
session of congress convenes. He is very
busy looking after the interests of his
constituency.

jim HALL WORSTEO.

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, August "a
A sanguinary encounter between two of
the most noted characters in the sporting
world occurred here last night. Jim Hall,
the Australian pugilist, who claims the
title of champion middle-weight OF the
world, was fearfully worsted In an attack
on his business manager, "ParsOu" Davies.
The encounter WAS the outcome OF quar-
rel in the bar room of the hotel After an
angry word or two Hall struck vIcIOusly
at Davies with n bottle. The big prize
fighters arm was caught by a bystander,
but, shaking himself free, Hall tempted
to repeat the blow. Davies, at bay, grab
bed a lemon knife lying on the bar, and,
dodgin9 Halls powerful fist. lunged back
at him with the knife, striking him in tue
throat and cutting a terrible cash from
tue chin to the ear on the right side and
narrowly missing the juguiar vein.
You've done me. Charley, but stay with
me- exclaimed Hall as the blood spurted
in horrible flow from the wound. The
room after the fracas presented q CORY ap-

AIMY. THE MURDERER.

HANOVER, n. H., August A-Miss
Jeanette Thomas, a relative of Prof
Pattee, whose connection with the Almy
case has been referred to, tells story of
midnight visit received from the murderer
two days before the murder of Christie
Warden That night Miss Thomas slept
in the room usually occupied by Christie.
Just as she awakened her throat was In
stantly grasped and a voice whispered,
Keep still, Ill not injure you" The in
truder then asked where Christie was, and
when she told him that she had left the
house he said: Pm lover of Christie's;
her parents oppose my suit and | cannot
see her at home. Don't You mention this
nights visit to anybody. # it were known
that any man had entered her chamber at
night her reputation woull be blasted for
ever" He then pressed pistol to her
breast and made her swear never TO be-
tray him, Miss Thomas story confirms
the theory that Almy was wildly jealous
of Prof. Pattee and that this jealousy WAS
cruel and unjust.

AUSTIN, August 24.-When Gov. Hogg
returns from his summer outing on the
gulf. he will find his desk almost buried
with protests against the enforcement Of
a law passed by the recent legislature of
Texas. and known as the scalp act law.
This law was demanded by the western
counties, and it provides that each person
who shall kill wolf, panther, tiger, Mex
lean lion or leopard, shall receive the sum
of - for each scalp, and also the sum OF -
for each coyote and the sum of 81 for each
wildcat or catamOunt, and the sum OF 81
per dozen for jack rabbits and 90 cents per
dozen for prairie dogs so killed. The re-
spective counties are forced to pay these
bOunties, but the sum of $4,000 was set
apart by the legislature In order that the
state might reimburse each county TO the
extent of one-half of the aggregate amount
il was forced to pay.
Some of these protests are very interest
ing, and claim thttif the enforcement of
the law is allowed much longer their re-
spective treasuries viii he completely eX-
hausted. Some of them even go 50 far as
to charge the settlers of the extreme west
ern counties with buying a cheap grade of
powder in large quantities ut wholesale
prices for the purpose of making a buSl-
ness out of Staying these animals on which
the bounty has been offered. 1t Is an un-
disputed fact that thousands of dollars
have been paid out up to date, and that
some counties have been forced TO iiel such
claims and issue credit vouchers 1t has
been said that the $50 600 appropriated by
the state to cover One-hali of such boun-
ty will fall far short of liquidating the
states share. but it is amusing to read
those protests and find that the loudest
howls and the hardest kicks are being
made by those counties which clamored
loudest and kicked hardest for the passage
of this bounty law

ATTEMPTED TRAIN WRECKING.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. August PA daring
attempt was made TO wreck the north
bound accommodation train on the Illinois
Central yesterday. Had the train been
going ten miles an hour faster there would
have been an awful wreck. Seven miles
north of Holly Springs, the engineer
noticed that one rail ed to be unduly
elevated He quickly applied the air bra kes
and reversed the engine. 1t was well that
he did Only the front trucks went off the
track. A piece of iron, known as stir
rup" among bridgemen, had been fastened
on the rail and would have thrown any
train from the track. Word was sent to
Holly Springs and a posse was soon organ
ized who went in pursuit Of the perpetra-
tors of the deed. Suspicion had been di-
rected toward two negroes seen near the
scene of the attempted wreck, and the
posse, after chase of several hours, cap
tured them They confessed to having
done the deed. The negroes were jailed at
Holly Springs. Both have the reputation
of being hard characters, and It'll supposed
that they intended to wreck the train for
the purpose of robbery.

PERKINS POINTS.

PERKINS, Ok, August 23-[SpeciaLl-
The people of Perkins and the farmers Of
the Cimarron valley are rejoicing over the
most bountiful crops of all kinds.
The covered wagon is arriving hourly,
bringing with it thrifty, intelligent class
of people who join US III the praise of the
wonderful Cimarron valley, and can
hardly realize that only little over two
short years ago this beautiful valley was
the retreat of the red man and the wild
game OF the forest.
The bridge across the Cimarron river at
Perkins will be finished by September |.
Perkins is building very rapidly and IS
bound to become one of the commercial
centers of Oklahoma.
