west less Than 10 per cent.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 29.-The Pioneer
Press prints the following regarding the
injury to the wheat crop:
lit is a piece of newspaper sensational
ism pure and simple" said well known
railroad official alluding to st. Paul
dispatch appearing in yesterdays Chica-
go Tribune, under flaming head lines,
such as ''Ice in the Wheat Fields, ""Cold
Weather Destroys Crops in North Da-
kota," "Gloomy Reports From the
Northwest" etc. The railroad man
went on to say: "All this is gross exag-
geration. The fact is the crop is won
derful one, and the serious frost damage
is limited to very few localities. The
great bulk of the hard wheat belt has
escaped injury, and it is shame to put
in circulation these highly-colored re-
ports. North Dakota has phenomenal
yield both as to quantity and quality,
and after allowing for all possible de-
terioration as the result of frost the
crop remains a magnificent one. have
paid close attention to the matter, and
from the reports received from agents
and grain growers and shippers can tell
you positively that the injury TO the
wheat is
Less than 10 Per Cent,
of the total product probably less than
7 per cent Mind you. say the injury.

tenths Of the wheat of Northwestern
Minnesota and North Dakota has not
becn affected at all by frost. and with
the remaining tenth it will be ques-
tion of grade, not of yield. All this
foolish furore about frozen wheat should
I've stopped. 1t is merely playing into
the hands of the grain spectators, who
will try to take advantage of it to cry
down the quality and attempt to lower
the grade, and the farmer will be the
sufferer. What know is that we have
got our hands full to move this tremen.
dous wheat product, and, as told you
before, ninetenths of it is wheat of the
best quality and is above suspicion as
regards frost damage"
Morris tribune., 1891-09-02

After our article in relation to the
yield of grain in the United States
and the short crops in Europe and
other parts of the world was in type,
we were reading that excellent agri-
cultural paper, the Chicago Western
Rural, in which we found the follow
ing:
"Of course there is no way to deter
mine just what the wheat crop is. All
statements of the amount of wheat in
the country are to a degree necessari-
ly guess work. The estimates are all
the way from five hundred and fifty
millions of bushels to seven hundred
and fifty millions. Boards of Trade
always put things higher than is
warranted. We have not, it is be-
lieved anything like seven hundred
and fifty million bushels. 1t is likely
that we have in the neighborhood OF
about five hundred and fifty millions
bushels. This would be about hun
dred and fifty millions above the av-
e-age crop. If the demand was an
average demand our wheat growers
would get badly left. Itwould be tie
old story, plenty to sell and nobody
to buy. But Europe is badly off fol-
wheat. 1t would not be surprising il
she took three hundred and fifty mil
lions bushels of American whsat. We
are now exporting about ten millions
bushels week, and our exports will
be increased. There cannot be a
doubt that Europe will take at the
very least two hundred and fifty mil
lions bushels. There is, therefore, nc
reason why the farmer should not re-
ceive a good price for his wheat and
not only for his wheat but his corn
Meat producing animals will also find
good market, and The Rural feels
good over the farmers prospects. He
will now find himself in much easier
circumstances to organizing for the
protection of his rights"

4. Believer in Signs.

There used to be a curious character named
Vellet down in Fulton county. Indiana. says the
Chicago Herald. He was noted over bis whole
section as the greatest eater and the firmest be
lever in signs that eve sat on the banks Of
Eel river and angled for bass. He planted his
corn in the dark of the moon and laid rail fence
in the light. He sheared his sleep when the
sign was IN the head, and laid bare his own neck
from the winters growth of beard when the
zodiac pointed to Taurus. He shingled his barn
in the moons first quarter. and gathered his
seed corn when Cane sr was king. He wouldn't
ride behind a horse that hadn't been broken in
the sign of the reins, and when Scorpio ruled
he considered secret safe. There was nothing
on earth he didn't believe could be properly
done in the signs, and nothing that didn't
threaten destruction II the signs were disrs-
garded.
He had a neighbor named Isaac Brown
great joker, who grew rich in spite of the fact
that he paid no more attention to the signs,
which were so large a part of Vellet's economy,
than he did to the co,or Of the clouds at mid
night. Finally Velet died, as eccentric men
sometimes will, and the assessor came around
in the spring and missed him.
What was the matter with him:" asked the
official of Isaac Brown.
We'll. you see, said the skeptical farmer,

told him had next years almanac, and 1t

V. McGilliard, and in conversation with re-
porter remarked that he was over 20 years old
and not in very good shape, as his right side
was partially parslyzed: At this he showed his
right hand, upon which the fingers were
shrunken, hooked and distorted, and remarked
that it all came about through a rattlesnake.
Five years ago." said he, July 6, while on
my farm at Tuscola, Ill, was bitten by rat
tlesnake."
Did you drink whisky as an antidoteY''
asked tie reporter.
''Tuscols was prohibition town, and was a
prohibitionst. 1t was impossible to procure
whisky-that is, for prohibitionists-and the
poison had almost done its work before any
could be procured. l owe my life to a son of
Belial, named Joseph Smith who lived about
four miles away. He had whisky, and furnished
me some, which as / said. probably saved my
life

Fooled by q sharp Filibuster.

A. P Hulse late of the custom house, says
the San Diego Sum, tells good story of some
flibustering that came under his notice thirty
two years ago;
In 1859 Harry Maury, a midshipman who had
resigned from the service of the United States
government, was in command of a trig off
Mobile bay. The vessel was loaded with fill
busters for Walker, and was overhauled BY a.
revenue cutter An officer went aboard in the
night with instructions to seize the vessel and
bring her to Mobile. Maury, who was equal to
the emergency, prepared himself by unshack-
ling the anchor from the chain and fastening q
lantern to a pole. When the vessel arrived at
Dog river bar it was hailed from the cutter and
ordered to come to.
Then came the order: Let go your anchor -
Maury let go PLAY out thirty fathoms of
chain was the next order. Maury ran the
chain through the hawsehole and over the rail
back on deck. He was ordered next to hoist a
light, which he did by lighting the lantern
already affixed to the poe, and sticking the
latter in the mud. He then, when all was quiet.
put off down the bay, leaving the cutter watch
ing the light, which it did until morning.
In the mean time the officer from the cutter
who was in charge of the filibusterins vessel
was down in the cabin playing cards and drink
ing champagne. On arrival at the entrance OF
the harbor the ofdcer was tapped on the
shoulder and told of where they were. and
asked if he wished to 20 ashore. A boat was at
his services, and he took it. returning to the cut

Dismsy amounting almost to actual panic
is said to have resulted from the sudden de
mand of the pope for the Peter's pence fund
Of 81, O00, 900 from the Bank of Rome. Sus
pension of the bank and consequent disas-
ter to Italian finances was only averted by
the efforts Of the bank officials, who man
aged to persuade the pontin TO suspend his
order for a short time until the bank can
get together the large sum required to meet
the demand Approaching the magnitude
of the disaster that might ensue, the Ma
tional Bank of Italy promptly proffered its
aid TO the embarrassed institution. But the
delay finally secured rendered that unneces-
sary. Evidently the pontiff was wise
enough not to wish to have the largest
Catholic financial institution in the world
rescued from the difficulties into which his
order had plunged it by the great fiscal en-
bodiment of the temporal power of Italy.
