county, an action by the plaintiff to re-
strain certain tax proceedings, in which
the plaintiff urges that the land is ex-
empt under the ''Rross earnings law of
1888, and appealed by the plaintiff, the
judgment of the lower court is affirmed.
In the case Of the Northern Dakota
Elevator company VS.. George Clark, ct
al, appealed by the defendant from the
district court, Griggs county, the judg-
ment of the lower court has been re-
versed.
The case of the Dlebold Safe and Lock
company VS.. Eddy county, appealed
from the district court in that county,
was filed with the clerk of the supreme
court, yesterday. It seems that the
agent of the Diebold company went to
the Eddy county commissioners and in
duced them to purchase Jail cells, and
other furnishings to the amount of
nearly 1880, contrary to the state
statute, which provides that the pur-
chase of any supplies in an amount OK.
ceeding 800 must be made by contract.
The commissioners audited the bill and
ordered it allowed, but the auditor re-
fused to draw the warrant, and the Die
bold company brought an action in the
district court for the issuance of a writ
OF mandamus to compel the auditor to
sign the warrant. They were defeated
in the district court, and, consequently,
have appealed the case.
Crop Bulletin.
Observer Fallon deduces the following
from the reports of observers:
The weather conditions existing dur
ing the fore part of the week, up to
Friday, were very favorable, with nor
NAL temperature and a few light
showers. During that time harvesting
progressed rapidly and most of the early
sown wheat Including considerable of
the late sown) and other grains we're
harvested. From Friday to Sunday
very severe wind and rain storms pre-
vailed over the state, causing much
damage to all crops still uncut and
greatly delaying work. Hail accom-
panied the storm on the 9th, and injury
is reported thereby from Stutsman
county. The heavy rain storm wa fol-
lowed by decidedly colder weather, and
frost occurred this morning (the 3Oth)
at Jamestown, Stutsman county, but
the damage, if any, has not as yet been
ascertained.
In the southern and most of the
eastern counties, harvesting is practi-
cally over and threshing has commenced
with satisfactory yields in most cases.
The correspondent at Tower City, Cass
county, reports that one load of Lew
wheat from his vicinity received the
grade Of No. 1 northern. As to the
yield, the correspondent at Power, Rich
land county, states that one field
threshed out thirty-six bushels to the
acre; the correspondent at Wahpeton,
same county, informs that one field
yielded t~wenty-three bushels, grain
good, but not as plump as last year;
while the correspondent at Seymour,
the same county, reports that wheat
being threshed in his neighborhood is
running from twelve to twenty bushels
to the acre. From Oriska, Barnes coun-
ty, comes the report that some of the
grain is badly shrunk in the kernel.
Oats and corn are conceded to be an
excellent crop-far superior to that of
last year, while potatoes will be good,
but of a rather small size.
Normal precipitation for past week,
about As of an inch. The following re-
ports of rainfall are received for the
same period: Bismarck, 1.66; Fort Blu
ford, 80; Saint Vincent, 1.22; Wild Rice,

The following special from Washing.
ton, makes it appear that the Bogue af-
fair would develop into nothing of any
import. The special says that Senator
Hansbrough fails to make recommended
ton for postmaster at Bismarck. Casey
will not act until he has had further
consultation, and Representative John
son will not move in the matter at all.
While here, Senator Casey made inquiry
regarding the status of the case, but was
not ready to make a recommendation.
It transpires that the charges against
.Bogue are not Of a very damaging char
acter, but his enemies got up a lot of tes-
timony regarding his negligence and
alleged incompetency which scared the
department, and the senators were
called on to recommend a successor.
