Frightful Death of a Young Harvest Hand
in North Dakota.

Fr1ghtlul Death OF q Young Harvest Hand
in North Dakota.
OAKEs, N. D., Aug. 23.-A reliable report
has just reached here that young man by
the name of Miles Howard lost his life yes
terday afternoon in horrible manner, on
the farm of John Olsen, twelve miles north
east of this place. It appears he was driv-
ing self binder when the sickle became
clogQed, when he jumped from his scat to
the platform to examine and locate
the difficulty, to remove which it
apparently became necessary for him
to climb over in front of
the sickle bar. Hardly had 10 done SO,
however, before the three large colts tprang
forward and the reels caught the unfortun-
ate young man ana held him on the cutting
bar while the horses ran half mile at q
furious rate. When stopped he was found
horribly cut and mangled. His hands and
feet we're cut and chewed in small pieces.
He was dead when found. No person was
within one mile of him when the accident
occurred, and the thigh bone coming in
contact with the sickle is probably what
stopped the machine.

THE GRAPE GROWERS.

More About the Cause of Their Discontent
Their Youthful Leader.
PARIS, Aug. 23.-The agitation Of young
Lamare, the educated lad of 19 who is lead
ing the turbulent wine growers in the
champagne districts, is tho outcome of en-
deavors upon the part of large wine COM
panies, to acquire and unite the small vine-
yards, with the object of locallzing and
stamping out phylloxsra. Small vineyard
owners stoutly oppose the project, which
they suppose is aimed to reduce the yeo-
manry of the district to mere factory hands.
There Is no doubt there are some grounds
for their guspicions. but AT the same time
thsce is no doubt that phylloxera has made
its appearance and is likely to spread rap
idly. Lemare has secured enormous infu-
once to back him. pbut it is almost imossibls
for the movement to succeed, as cham
pagne requires such a large amount of cap
ital for successful production.
Apart from the invasion of phylloxera,
French vintage justiies the gloomy prsdio-
tions made in regard to the present crop of
grapes. Up to the present the only vine-
yards which promise we'll are those OF the
Bordeaux regions. In the Laude depart
ment the vineyards have been ravaged by
mlldew and black rot, three courses OF sui
pilates ing failed to arrest the progress
of the diseases. Throughout the depart
ment of Herault the negligence of grape
cultivators has allowed mildew to seriously
prejudice the present harvest, and no sec
ond gathering is probable.
resident of the department of La
Gironde has written letter for publication
in which he asserts that only where vine
yard owners have shown themselves careless
or not self-sutfioient, and have allowed
vines to become surrounded with weeds,
thus constituting fogi infection, has
trouble arisen. He adds that wherever the
prescriptions of science have been properly
and opportunely observed the vines are
healthy and promise an abundant crop.
There are signs of mildew in the
department OF Les Bouches Du Rhone,
but in Algeria the vines are we'll advanced
They are not soorched and have not been
hurt by loousts. In Tunis good vintage is
anticipated, harvest being estimated at
100000 hectoltres. Phylloxera is variously
present in the vineyards of Spain, Portugal
and Italy. Young Lamare, Ms already ca
bled, has written a pamphlet and started a
weekly paper to advocate his views and in
cite PEASANTS to reap the profit of their
work instead of allowing the wine NOR
chants to do 80.
