NORTH DAKOTA WHEAT
The Acreage and Probable Yield for

The Acreage and Probable Yield for
1so2.
The average yield Of wheat in North
Dakota this year. according to the esti.
mate Of the Minneapolis Journals crop
expert, is not likely to exceed eleven
bushels. 1t may go twelve bushels. but
there is no good reason to expect that it
can be more than bushel better than
in 1890. This would make the yield for
the state on the estimated acreage of
2 6s4, $3.50, 20 5SS, 526 bushels, or /, 97s, 915
bushels more than in 1890.

dozen guns in that custom house, and that
he did not think they would prove of much
service in case ali emergency arose for their
use. At any rate he doubted his authority
to loan them to citizens, but in view OF the
action OF The government in sending sup
ply OF arms from Indianapolis he thought
there would be no further call for them.

and it requires no stretch of imagination to
conjecture time when 1t may double deci-
mate the people all over the world In fact,
when it may sweep out the entire human
race, leaving our factories, our railroads,
our churches and dwellings to dust, destruc-
ton and decay, while silence and solitude
broeds over our crumbling cities without a
living soul to view the desolatiOn. This
gloomy condition of affairs would doubt
less give the monkies and dudes
who part their hair in the middle
and smoke cigarettes, another chance
to eyolute, so to speak, but 1t would
take q Create many ages to do 1t. Since
however the feline of war has ceased to
caterwaul on the moonlit fence of destiny,
we as people can look up. Science ana
DR.. Kelley will ultimately solve all the rid
dies of disease, and mankind will live as
long as Noah of old did, Notwithstanding
his somewhat dissOlute habits. Seriously
however, there should be few If any deaths
from the disease, except in the old and en-
feebled, If taken at the start and properly
treated. The Frustrated debility which fol-
lows an attack of this disorder. coupled with
the danger of relapses on slight exposure
are things to be expected and the latter
guarded against by continuing indoors until
strength has nearly II not quite returned.
The daily press teens with methods of treat
ment. Some are bad, some harmless and
some are Indifferent, but one thing it is safe
to avoid and that is the unlimited and in
discriminate use of liquor. Inebriates are
bad subjects TO withstand any acute disease
and this is no exception. Better take

Maple River Farmers Club.

Secretarys report for January %, 1899.
The meeting at s. Il. Cooks on the last day
of December was meeting that we all in
sadness will long remember.
How truly in the morning
A cloud sometimes appears,
To dampen all our pleasure,
To bring us many tears;
Bringing in deepest measure
Earths bitter griefs and fears.
At our meeting in November we looked forward
with good cheer
To our meeting for December, the last one of the
year.
Our president sat before us in his accustomed
place,
Attending to his duties with his usual skill and
grace.
And little did we dream-though suIering's
trace he bore,
That ere our club should meet again, his work
would all be DER.
We fondly hoped that time might bring
Swift healing on her gracious wing.
Alas 1t could not be-our hopes were fed.
Our friend was numbered with the dead.
The dark lined cloud of sorrow like pail,
Ha dcast its mournful shadow DER US all.
! Vice president called to order and touchingly
referred
To him whose voice no more in our councils will
be heard.
A committee was elected to report to you today
Resolutions which express to all in fitting way
The sympathy and sorrow that all our members
feel
Ger the loss of him who has labored for our
veal.
Another was selected TO secure gift of flowers
A apnhl ~ off, hnr fria ne
ours.
which pleased us all;
They have failed to come, but not from choice
| at all.
Waugh's,
We hope their helpful presence may save them
from the laws.
An intermission then was had and all sat down
to dine
At the table OF our hostess, which indeed was
| very fine.
The program was omitted, forlour hearts were
sad that day
Ger the absence of the one who will be absent
now alway.
And in token of respect for our loved and honor
ed dead,
And in compliance with the wish of all, vice
president said
''The meeting stands adjourned, that we may
now repair
Unto the house of mourning and view our presi
dent there"
Then soon beside his lifeless form we stood q
mournfu band
Bereft of leader whom we loved, by whom we'd
loved TO stand.
And looking on his pale and quiet face
Where sunerings deep had left their trace,
We thought for him 'twere better far to go
Where Heavenly joys await, than linger here
below
Where dread disease would bring but added
pain,
For heaven will restore to him his youth again
And join him with the loved ones gone before
TO dwell with them forever on that blissfu
shore.
So when the sun is shining
| Each cloud that comes in view
| May have silver lining,
Its edges piercing through,
Most beautifully divining,
There's Joy still left for you.
That our dear friend from sorrows ever free:
Free from suffering care or pain,
Our loss is his eternal gain.
And though around his coffined form
Loves floral gifts may wither,
He dwells mid fadeless flowers that bloom
For him in Heaven forever

Wards Words.

The pain, peril and anguish which people
who deal with the average church choir have
to endure, Is something direful to contem-
plate and altogether incOmprehensible to be
sure. The business end of humble bee Is
dull, torpid and painless by comparison.
Only the other Sabbath when the little
Loyal Legion of children proposed to march
into one of our churches before service be
gan and with banners parading down the
aisles sing childish temperance song, the
choir kicked, very properly too. They
didn't want the blessed Sunday morning
atmosphere all mussed up by lot of chill
dren's voices before they sang the opening
anthem. If we are going to serve the Lord
with noise, let us have 1t in some kind of
shape. Shape is everything.
Now that the brainy Blaine has corked
the demijon of war by brilliant coup a.
etdt-which, while it made the demijon iz-
zle, pleased the public to perfectiOn-we
may turn our attention to calm considera-
| ton of the true inwardness of the embroglio
which cost the country $4,000, 600 and an
| immense amount of printers ink and pro-
| family. After careful study of the subject,
from information obtained from reliable
daily journals of both political parties as
| well AZ from independent sources, l have
come to the conclusion that egad! il was
Egan and nothing but Egan from start to
finish, coupled with an unaccountable and
seemingly obstinate persistency on the part
OF the president to support him at all
hazards. Thank Go'l the nation had man
there, near the helm of the ship of state,
who knew just how to steer the craft out of
| the mire of diplomatic ENHANCEMENT. No
wonder that 1t made him sick i'm the stomach
at cabinet meeting when the Chilian matter
was brought up. A stronger stomach than
his would have gagged at the affair, know
ing as he did the exact status OF things per-
tanning to it.
The gravity and intensity of the prevail
ing influenza sets the whole world agog.
And well II may. Judging from the past,
each succeeding year adds to Its virulence,
