The Grain is Spelling,

"Ihere's many q slip twixt tho
cup and tho lip, is an old saving
the truttulness of which is being
illustrated this year to the farmers
an the northern portion OF the Red
HlVer Valley. The most favorable
weather that could be desired, rain
ana sunshine alternating in theil
season, attended the crop from the
time OF seeding till in July when cool
weather set in, and retarded the
maturing OF the crop fully two o,
three weeks. The biggest crop that
was ever grown in the valley was in
sight on the LIST of August, Then
came the frosts in the latter part O!
that month and injured some of the
late sown grain from 5 to 25 pc,
cent Some damage was done bv
the lodging of the grain, it being so
heavy. But in spite OF all that the
crop taken rs a whole was most en-
"eIIent. The harvesting OF this bio
crop involved vast amount OF
labor, and us harvest hands were,
scarce, the work was often careless]y
done. AS soon rs the work OF har-
'estlng was done, and threshinu
mlriy began, one soaking rain has
come alter the other, and threatens
TO destroy the crop. Perhaps
three-Quarters Of the grain in the
county is still standing in shock and
the damage to this grain from
sproutln"and bleaching is estimated
ut this writing to be from 10 to 80
per cent. Grain that is properly
shocked, and the shocks taken care
OF, IS not damaged very much. The
result will be the loss OF a grade O,
more on Il big share OF the wheat
The SHEAF has time and again
urged upon farmers the necessity
OF Stacking their grain as soon as
possible after it was cut, and if this
advise had been needed, many would
now be better Off. Many farmers
who could have had their grain all
stacked, have waited for the ma.
chimes to get around that they might
thresh out OF shocks, or else they
have helped their neighbors and got
left themselves. This years expert
ence ought to tench all a valuable
lesson. The threshers started up
yesterday for the first time in more
than week, but last night and to.
day the rain is pouring down again
When will it stop?

The BANNER last week hits back
at us for takin" it to task for pub
fishing beittling reports as to the
yield OF wheat. According to tEe
Banner, it will incrcasc the price of
wheat to lie about the Yield. The
SHEAF is OF the opinion that it is
best to tell the truth under all cir
cuInstances and the yield should be
reported just us it is, The SHEAF
has stated the yield just as it has
been given to it by the farmers them
selves, and if they have exaggerated
or depleted, it is not our fault. We
Go not believe that it will influence
the price one way or the other one
particle. One half OF the wheat
spectators are as anxious to see
wheat so up as the other half is to
see it 60 down. This county has
produced the most enormous crop in
its history; it is quite Il different
thing ii the hand that gave should
also take away as now seems to be
the case.

Is critical indeed. Shouting, intermingled

that they will soon return to Morewood.
Ii the strikers make a second raid on

to repel any raid of strikers.

Il have also informed him that in
matter of such gravity the government of
the United States would not permit it
self to be unduly hurried; nor will it
make answer to any demand until every
tact essential to a correct Judgment shall
nave been FUZZY ascertained through legal
authority. The Impotence of the ag-
grieved may be natural, but its indul-
gence does not always secure the most
substantial justice.
How We Are Fixed for War.
Although every body here scouts the
idea of war, much speculation is INDUCED
in as 10 what we would do in case of hos
Utilities. Navy officers embrace the oppor-
tunity to emphasize the present condition
OF the navy. Adjt. Gen. Kelton said that
hostile fleet could not succeed in getting
within twenty miles of New York on &C.
count of the disposition of a large number
OF the American people to volunteer their
lives IN steering torpedo boats against the
foreign vessels. Commodore Ramsey said
that the Miantonomah would be ready in
month, and another officer said that
three or four of the old war monitors could
be fitted up in short order au4 in such a
formidable manner that they could be
MADE very valuable in dealing with hos
tile fleet.

Trouble Probable at Coalbrook.

SCoTTDALE, Pa, April 2.-There is
likely to be trouble at the Coalbrook
coke works. Coal brook is one of Mcclure
u Co.'S plants of seventy ovens Aside
from Rainey's works, it is the only plant
IN the region that is running full. The
ovens have been charged since Monday,
and they are TO be drawn to-day. The
strikers, some 10 600 men, have issued
orders to prevent the drawing of the
Coalbrook ovens, but the company intend
to have them drawn in spite of the strik-
ers. Unless trouble occurs at Coalbrook
to-day the strikers are not likely to make
any further trouble in the region.

eneral Strike.
MINIATURES, April Failure between
the contractors and employees to reach
an agreement as to demand for an in
crease in wages resulted in a cessation of
work by stone-cutters, masons, brick
layers and hod-carrlers to the number of
about l, 200 yesterday The masons asked
81 per day, an increase of so cents; brick
layers 10 cents per hour and hod-carriers
-, an increase of cents per hour in both
classes. Most of the contractors informed
their men when they quit work Tuesday
night that they could not grant the ad-
vance demanded. The employees call it a
lockout, and the contractors consider the
refusal of the men to work under exist
ing rules strike. Both sides are well or
gauized and determi ned, and the only
question seems to be one of endurance.

ROE'S WELCOME 4.
A Famous Hunting-Place for Whale, and
Its Dangers.

From the northern part of HudSon's
Fay, already arctic in character, stretches
tar toward the pole deep inlet, which
some early navigator of those deSolate
polar shores has termed Roe's Welcome
as if ANYTHING within that ice bound and
lonely coast could be welcome to person
Just from civilization! The name no doubt
was given in memory OF some escape from
the drifting ice packs, when the inlet fur
nished refuge from one of the fierce storms
of that polar region.
Roe's Welcome is famed hunting place
for the great polar whale, or "bowhead'
as the whalers call it. This huge whale,
which is indeed immense IN size often
makes his home among the great ice packs
and ice fields of the polar seas, and a
goodly quantity of these it finds in Roe's
Welcome. But these ice packs, swinging
to and fro with the tides, currents, and
winds i'll such a long narrow inlet as this,
render navigation dangerous even for the
staunch whaling ships, and they generally
make their fishing grounds off the lower
mouth of the great inlet, where the cruls-
ing is much safer If not always so prCht.
able, Occasionally, when some exception
ally good ice master is in charge OF
whaer, he dashes into the better fishing
grounds far a short cruise; another less
skiliu, lured by the brighter prospects, or
discouraged by a poor catch outside, enters
the inlet, and either reaps rich harvest
of oil and bone, or wrecks his vessel. Or
he may escape, after an imprisonment in
the grip of the merciless ice letters for
gear or two longer than he had intended
to stay.
Such was the fate of the good ship
Gladiator, from a wel-known whaling
port in southeastern Massachusetts. She
sailed to the northernmost end of the
Welcome, " as the whaIers call it, and
after most profitable catch of bow
heads" had the il.fortune to remain
firmly bound in the ice for two years.
During this long time, much lorger than
that for which the vessel had been provi-
stoned the crew were dependent on the
many E,qimaux who clustered around the
ship. The natives supplied them with
ample quantities of reindeer, musk-Ox,
seal and walru. meat in return for small
quantities OF molasses and coffee. Their
comparionship, too, rude as it was, did
much TO while away the dreary, lonely
hours Of the two years imprisonment
