Northwestern Lines Figuring on
the Amount Of Grain Raised
This Year.
A General Opinion That the
Crop Will Not Be Nearly as
Large as '9l.
Prevailing Intense Heat and Re
cent Storms Have Caused
Some Damage.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 17.-While the har-
vest this year will not be as heavy as
last there is every indication that its
actual magnitude will be something
tremendous. The Northern Pacific and
Great Northern have kept posted on the
condition of the crop in their Ne
spective territories and are rapidly MAX
ing preparations for hauling an immense
amount of grain. The other roads run
wing out of St. Paul have not kept them
selves SO thoroughly informed but the
reports from all the offices are to the ef-
feet that the crop is heavy, we'll ad-
vanced and very little damaged by
storms. In the extensive grain coun-
tries penetrated by the Great Western
in the Southwest the wheat harvest is
nearly over and the crop is very heavy.
The Omaha also makes similar reports
regarding the crop conditions in its ter
ritory. Mr.. Woodruff, of the general
freight agents Office of the Northern
Pacific, has devoted his attention ex-
clusively to crop conditions during the
past few weeks and speaks very en-
Enthusiastically of the outlook.
In North Dakota the yield will be
abundant. In some sections damage has
been done by storms but the cases are
isolated, and when compared with the
entire crop are but as so many drops in
the ocean. Of course the alarmist is to
be found everywhere, and Mr. Wood
ruff has not escaped his attentions.
This individual is always looking for
early frosts and is always sure that every
wind storm will blow the grain out of
the ground, and when he reaps twenty
bushels to the acre he begins to specu-
late on some panic in the grain market
which will rob him of legitimate price
for his crop. The only serious damage
done in North Dakota was by the storm
OF last week. In two or three counties
the terrific winds and heavy rains beat
the grain down so that it is hardly pos
sible to run the harvesters and binders
through it.
Another adverse circumstance is the
prevailing intense heat. Mr.. Woodruff
declares that its effect on the cattle is
overpowering and even the reapers are
scarcely able to stand it. While the
crop will be large the losses to live
stock in consequence of the heat will
tend largely to reduce the profits de-
rived therefrom.
The Great Northern reports a very
similar condition Of things, their system
being practically parallel to the North
ern Pacific through the Dakotas.
Neither company will undertake to fur
nish an exact estimate of the crop, but
both agree that it will scarcely be less
than 70 per cent. of last years.

A PERlLOUS EXPERIENCE,

Steamer Columbian and 800 Passengers 1T
the Mercy of u Fierce Current.
WATERFOWL, N. Y, Aug. l7.-Nearly
300 passengers on the Richlieu and On
tario steamer Columbian, which had re-
Gently been completed at cost of $685.
600 to run the rapids of the St. Law
renee, had an experience Monday which
was far more exciting and perilous than
they had anticipated. AS the vessel was
running the Cedar rapids the tiller rope
broke and left the steamer and it's load
at the mercy of the fierce current. The
officer with difficulty allayed the panic
that ensued among the passengers Small
boats came to the rescue and every pas
senger was safely conveyed to the shore
and taken by train to Montreal. There
is considerable doubt as to whether the
steamer can be pulled off without
wrecking her.

Ran a Rival POstOmce.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. II. Deputy
United States Marshal Buckley has gone
to Dousman, Wis, to arrest G. H. Neff
for curious offense. Nef is a black
smith who has a shop opposite the post
office in that town. He and Postmaster
Reid got into difficulty of some sort,
SO it is said, and to spite the official
Nef established rival postofice.
This he did by placing a box
in his shop and inviting his friends
to place their letters in there.
Twice day he carried the letters to the
train. By SO doing he cheated the post
master out of his cancellation fees,
which constitute part of his revenue.

Holding Two Conventions,

HoUsToN, Tex, Aug. 1.-THE re-
suit of the factional fight in the ranks of
the Democracy in this state is two con-
ventions. 1t was foregone conclusion
that if the Hogg people, who had about
two-thirds of the instructed delegates,
attempted to override the minority the
Clark people would bolt. They had
agreed upon this line of policy at their
secret caucus and they carried it out.
Both conventions appointed the usual
committees and adjourned.

A Chicago Lady Murdered by Her Insaue
Son at Carlsbad.
BERLIN, Aug. 17.-Mrs. Alice Crocker,
of Chicago, was strangled by her son, %
years old, in her apartments in the Koe-
nig's villa in Carlsbad. Young Crocker
is now in an asylum. Mrs. Crocker and
her son came to Carlsbad some time ago
at the end of tour through Western
Europe. They apparently were on the
best of terms when they arrived and
young Crocker was with his mother
almost constantly when she was in pub
lie. He always accompanied her when
she took the waters. OF late he has
been acting strangely at times although
nothing serious was thought of it. After
killing his mother he confessed the
crime, but made no attempt to escape.
Doctors declare him hopelessly insane.

Switchmen Employed by the

Railroad Men Say the Strike
May Develop Into a Very
Serious Affair.
The Destruction of Property
Continues More Militia
Called Out.

BUFFALO, Aug 1.-THE switchmen
employed in the yards of the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg road went out
again at 8 p. M, but returned to work
again at midnight after receiving notice
from the officials that their demands
would be granted. At the meeting of
the Switchmen's local union it was de-
cided to call out the New York Central
switchmen at midnight and promptly at
that hour about $50 Central men quietly
quit work. They will not interfere with
the running of passenger trains but
promise to make it warm for those who
try to fill their places in the freight
yards. 1t was also decided to instruct
men employed by connecting lines to
refuse to handle Erie, Lehigh Valley
and Central freight. More militiamen
will be here by morning. Mr.. Webb,
Of the New York Central, retired to his
private car after hearing the decision
He refused to be interviewed. Promi-
nent railroad men here say the strike
will develop into very serious affair if
connecting lines receive freight from
striking roads.
Disabled Freight Trains,
At 8 p. IN. the Erie started two Sec
tions of train No. 80, with forty cars of
perishable freight. The trains proceed
ed unmolested until reaching Alden sta
ton where the cars were boarded BY
strikers who applied the brakes and
pulled the pins, completely disabling
both sections. A train on it's way from
Black Rock to Alden with coupling ap-
paratus was derailed by the strikers be-
fore reaching its destination. The road
will be blocked for some time. A wreck
ing train has been sent from Buffalo.
All passenger trains have been arriving
and leaving on time on both the Erie
and the Lehigh Valley roads. Every
thing is qniet at midnight in and about
the freight yards and the militia are in
complete control of the situation.

Magazine is made notable by the great
richness and variety of its illustrations
including novelty in magazine pic
tures-a colored frontispiece-repro-
ducing in fac-simile the rich effect of a
water color painting, made for this
magazine by l.. Marchetti. The liter
airy quality of the number is indicated
by the distinguished list of contribu-
tors, including such names as Thomas
Bailey Aldrich, Archibald Forbes, Geo
w. Gable, Frank d. Millet, H. II. Boy
eson, Octave Thanet, George A. Hib-
bard, Will Fl. Low, and Kenyon Cox.
The articles present a very striking
group on certain phases of modern art,
bringing in the same number discus
sion of French Wall painting, Ameri-
can Decorative art at the Worlds Fair,
Norwegian Painters of the Present Day
and a brief discussion of Why We
Paint the Nude, by two eminent artists
of this country, with full page pic
ture by each to illustrate the text of
the article. These articles on art bring
together wonderful reproductions in
black and white, of original paintings
by Baudry Puvis de Chavannes, Laur-
ems and Cabanel among the French
men; Hans Dahl, Arbo and Hansen
among Norwegians; Reinhart, Weir.
Shirlaw, Blashfield, Beckwith and
Dodge among Americans. 1t is pecu-
li"rly appropriate that Frank D. Millet
the director in charge, should write
the article on the Decorations at the
World S Fair that H. H. Boyeson should
write of the painters of his native land
and that Will H. Low, whose educa-
ton and sympathies are with French
art, should discuss modern French
Mural painting.
