DAMAGED THE WHEAT.
Effect of the Hot Weather In North
Dakota.

ST. Paul. August 1O.-Great anxiety
is expressed for the wheat crop Of North
Dakota, which, at the beginning Of the
hot wave on Tuesday, was in the milk,
and under ordinary conditions would
have required from IA to 16 days to
ripen.
This wheat at the most critical stage
OF its existence was subjected to 100
hours of intense heat, ranging from so
degrees at night to 112 degrees in the
day. What effect this scorching
weather had on the grain cannot be
definitely known for several days. APP
pearances, however, indicate that the
wheat fields are being prematurely
ripened, that large part Of the grain
has been shriveled up and ruined, AMI
almost tho whole crop will be off
grade.

; The attention of the readers of this
paper is invited to the cut of Col. A. G..
Matthews, of this state.
He was born in Illinois, reared on his
father farm i'm Pike County, and COM
manded regiment in the late war, rails
ed wholly in tina: county. He stayed in
until the finish and mustered his regi-
ment out of service Oh the 18th of Aug
ust 1865. He then commenced the prac-
tice of law, in which. he continued until
few years ago, when he became Judge
Of the Circuit court, succeeding Judge
Higbee on the bench, After the expira-
ton of his term he took little hand in
politics and was elected Speaker of the
Thirty Sixth General Assembly, which
office he filled with fairness and saUsfac-
tion to his party friends. On the incOm-
ing of the present administration he was
rendered the position of Comptroller of
the Treasury which office he now holds,
the duties of which Ii. has discharged TO
the salts action of all parties interested.
1t is rumOred that he will: probably be
candidate for GovepOr before the Re
publican Convention in 1892, and in pre-
senting this sketch we wish to ask our
readers, "What is the matter with
Matthews?'
We have no evidence that he is pro
nounced candidate, but he has many
friends in different sections of the state
who are p essing his claims, and it is
quite probable hat by the time the next
republican convention assemblies, he will
develOpe cons derable strength. In our
Judgment he would be, one of the most for
midablfs candidate with whom Gov. Fifel
would have to contend with provided he,
Che Governor) snould be a candidae fol
denomination. He is one of the strong
est men in the state, and if nominated
will undoubtedly be elected by large
plurality.
