TWELVE BUSHELS TO THE ACRE.
Farmer Oliver Dalrymple's Estimate of
the Wheat Yield in North Dakota.

FARMER OtiVSr Datrynpl0sS Estlm6C0 Oh
the Wheat Yield in North Dakota.
sB. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 14.-Oliver
Dalrymple, the big farmer of
North Dakota. to-day in speak
ing of the wheat yield, as estimated
by Statistician Dodge, said he thought
the figures were not far from right, but
as they were in measured bushels of
ffty-six pounds they would shrink the
crop to about 4SO,0OO,O0O bushels by
weight. He thought that North Dakota
is short in acreage about one acre in ff-
teen, which is about per cent from last
years acreage. The crop would average
II bushels per acre, or about what
the government report made it. The
shortage in wheat acreage was caused
by the wet weather in the spring, MAX
ing seeding late, and the ground not
sown to wheat was later put into bar
ley. increasing the acreage of that crop.
A prominent farmer ofNorth Dakota,
said he thought Mr.. Dodge's figures
were not far from right, but as they
were in measured bushels of 56 pounds
they would shrink the crop to about
4S0,O00,000 bushels by weight He
thought that North Dakota is short in
acreage about one acre in fifteen, which
is about per cent from last years acre
age.

Sensational Action by the Detroit School
Board-No Coliege-Bred Teachers.
DETROIT, Mich, O-.. A9.-Ihe Board
OF Education last night adopted reso-
luton declaring that hereafter the teach
ers in the public schools of the city must
90 persons who have received their en-
ire education within the public schools
and in the high school of Detroit. No
others are to be eligible. Not only
must they be educated at home and in
the public schools. but their right to
teach is forfeited if they attend univer-
sitv a!terward. College-bred teachers
are to be boycotted. AS about one-haif
OF the Detroit teachers have been edu-
Gated elsewhere, it is easy to see what
widespread consteI nation will be caused
by the resolution.
The following is the resolution in its
entirety:
WHEREAS, 1t has been thoroughly and
satisfactorily demonstrated that teachers
IN our schools who have not received
their education in our public schools do
not show as good results in their work as
those who have secured their education in
our public schools: now be 1t
hesotced, That no person shall be ELI
giba to teach in our public schools who
has not received his or her education in
our public schools, and shall be graduate
OF one of our high schools.
Under the terms of the resolution,
one-half of the teachers will be dis
charged next January when their
terms Of service expire.
The reply of the committee on teach
ers was received and read to the COM
munication from a number of Catholic
clergymen, who asked regarding the
right OF the committee to exclude grad
mates Of St. Aloisius Parish School rom
the examinations for admission to the
Teachers Training School. The strong
est point made by the reply was felt to
be that the training school WAS self-sus-
tanning. and, unlike the State Normal
School,, is necessarily limited in the
number 1t can receive.
But the most sensational feature was
the charge that the Catholic clergy
compel parents to send their children
TO the parochial schools by refusing
them the sacraments of the churches.
The report was adopted by vote of

COLLAPSE of a Gram Elevator.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 15.-The immense
Illinois grain elevator just north of
Madison Street, on the west side of the
river, collapsed this afternoon, and $780,
600 bushels of grain were scattered over
the railroad tracks and dumped into the
river. What caused the collapse can
only be conjectured. The structure was
erected twentv-seven years ago and has
passed every inspection, the last being
but three months ago. The loss Will not
exceed $4,000, as part of the grain can
be saved. The employees were warned
in time and all escaped in safety.

WRECKS AND FLOODS.

Great Britain Swept by Disastrous Fall
Gale-Fishermen Lose Their Lives.
LONDON, Oct. 15.-The storm that set
in over Northern England, Scotland
and Wales, night before last, threatens
to cause as much damage as
some of the phenomenal gales
and rains that passed over the
country last autumn. The telegraph
lines are down in every direction, and
communication with some of the coast
towns is greatly interrupted. Tidings
of disaster continue to be received, and
loss Of life by shipwreck is beginning to
De reported.
The fishing yawl James and Robert
was capsized yesterday in a heavy squall
in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, into
which she was putting tor shelter under
short canvas. The yawl turned over
when she was about mile distant. One
man was seen clinging to the bottom OF
the overturned boat, but 1t was impossible
for the larger craft to reach him Ill time to
save him. An attempt was made to res
cue him, but almost before the intending
rescuerS could bear away for him, heavy
sea swept over the yaWl and when it had
passed the man had disappeared.
Much damage has been caused by the
floods in various parts OF the country. At
Leeds the river Aire has got out of It's
banks and OverflOwed the adjacent eOun-
try. In some places the railways leading
into the town are submerged to- the depth
OF a foot. Houses in the lower portions OF
Leeds and in HOlbeck and HunSlOt, on
the south side of the Aire, have been
flooded, and IN many cases the occupants
have left them, fearing that they might
fall.
A number of crafts at various places
have been broken from their mOOrlngS
though extra anchors were put out and
SINK after being blown hither and thither
about the harbOrS..
At Nation, town in the north riding of
Yorkshire, on the River DerWent, it
has rained continuously for forty hours
and the storm shows no signs OF
abatement. The Rye and DerWent
Rivers had overlooked and the country for
miles about is inundated. The floods have
naturally been most disastrous in the
MoOrlands. Half the crops still unharv-
cSted, are submurged, and vast areas of
pasture land are impossible, except in
boats.
Much alarm is felt at Doncaster at the
rapid rise OF the River Don, and every pre-
caution is being taken against an overflow.
A most peculiar accident caused by the
flood has occurred at Wakefield, on the
River Calder a few miles south of Leeds.
