Smut In Wheat.

Smut has spread so rapidly over the
wheat fields Of the state that over half
Of this years crop Is damaged by 1t, and
deprecated in value from to 8 cents
bushel. As smut infested seed will pro-
duce smu,ty wheat. pure seed is neces-
sary. The board OF railroad commits
sloners announce that they have partially
completed very favorable arrangements
with the elevator and railroad compa-
MES for assistance in securing pure seed,
the railroad companies giving at least a
half rate, and possibly better. Definite
arrangements will be announced later.
Those bavlng smut in their wheat should
arrange to take advantage of this seed,
az a change of seed is said to be favor
able to good yield and good grain,
aside from the advantage of having a
pure and clean seed.

an interesting statement in regard to
the financial crisis OF 1893, during which
a large number of national, state and
private banks went to the wall. 1t ssys:
among the object lessons of the finan.
cial crisis Of 1898, the following is the
most striking: There ware in May $500
national banks, 1900 state banks and
100 private banks of deposit doing
business in the United States. OF the
national banks 155, or about 40 per
cent were obliged from various reasons
to close their doors. OF the combined
state and private banks, $50 or nearly u
per cent closed their doors. OF the 155
national banks that succnnbed to the
violence of the financial storm seventy
two have resumed, while of the state
and private banks only seventy have re-
opened their doors. The number of
national banks whose suspension has
proved permanent is therefore eighty
three, or less than two and three-tenths
per cent of the whole number doing
business, while the permanently dis
abled state and private banks were 400
or over ten per cent of the whole num-

From Weonesdav's Daily.

The attendance and. sales at the open
ing evening of the Catholic far, last
night, was far greater tEan at either of
the fairs held in the last two years. One
of the reasons for this IS placed in the
warm, comfortable and spacious rooms
which are at the disposal Of the manage
ment and the general enthusiasm of all
the workers. The main room was
crowded last night and overflowed into
the dining hall where the Ice cream
stand was literally patronized.
The suppers served were numerous
and gratifying to the ladies' in charge OF
this department. Oysters, chicken.
salads, tea, coffee and the innumerable
etceteIss that 60 to make up a meal,
disappeared in response to the many on
slsughts.
The display OF fancy work on the
table and in the tsstefully arranged
booth is great credit to the ladies in
charge, both for the range of articles
and the prices which run from high to
low, something to reach every purse
alike.
The contest last night for baby 8
cloak, between little Philip Blewett and
Theodore Moher, was decided in favor of
the former, who received Ill ont of a
total of 2l91s votes cast.
A huge pair of stockings suspendetl
over the fancy booth bear u card which
states that, These stockings came from
the Midway Plaisance."
Fathers J. E. Lamiaux of Mandan, j.

completed his education at Rome, Italy,

His Views of the Panic and Its Re.
suits.
Vice President Perry OF the Continent.
al National bank OF Chicago, left Tues
day after an inspection Of about $4,000
worth Of securities which that bank
holds for $4,000 loan made to the
Lloyd's National bank This loan is e
mere bagatelle to the wealthy institution
represented by Mr.. Perry and is made
largely because the latter was personal
acquaintance of the president Of the
Lloyd's National bank. Mr.. Perry isone
OF the best known bankers of Chicago
and takes the matter Of the Investment
with philosophy. 1t is reported that very
few Of the securities held can be realized
upon; IN fact, that but two out Of the
number have features of attractveness
about them that bankers would be salts
fled with them.
Mr.. Perry says that Dakota securities
haven't, in the last year or so, been much
sought after by Chicago bankers; al
though he is aware that the reason for
the same is not in the resources of the
country but in the low price of the agri-
cultural products which has prevailed,
and which has made collections more
hazardous in one crop country than in
the older states. Mr.. Perry believes that
the state is coming out all right, although
this bank failure here will be felt for
some time; yet 1t will I've lesson that
will do the bankers good and is not
without some advantages, although they
Speaking OF the cause OF the panic this

York bankers, moneyed men. got up a
scare and got scared. They trade among
themselves down there and haven't the
real securities back of them that the
Chicago bankers have in the way OF food
products and supplies. The recovery Of
confidence and the reinvestment OF capi-
tai in business enterprises Is, in my
opinion. going to be a matter Of slow re-
turn. 1t will be two or three years yet,
before we can get back to the old condi-
ton OF things. Chicago bankers have
demonstrated their ability to supply the
country banks with funds in times of
panic as we'll as in times Of peace and
the indications are that the Chicago
banks will open many new accounts that,
before this year, have always been car
ried in New York. We have the produce
that brings the money from the east and
there is where our great strength lies"

Government Aid Necessary
for the Improvident Fl.
TOtten Indians.
Waldo M. Potter Discusses the
"Silver Humbug."-More
Russian Cactus.
A Wheat Expert Says Two
Thirds of Wheat Crop
Now Marketed.

Agent Ralph Hall presents in the an
nual report of the Fort Totten Indian
reservation some interesting facts. This
agency contains 10000 acres, of which
not quite half is tillable. There are about
10000 acres of good oak timber. He
recommends that the cutting of green
timber be prohibited, and that only the
dead timber be cut in the future. The
land is not needed for agricultural pur-
poses. In fact agriculture has not yet
reached any degree of success. There
are about 800 families and they have as
yet titled only $500 acres, or a little over
eleven acres to the family. Mr.. Hall
thinks that if the Indian farmers could
be taught to do their plowing in the fall
that better results could be secured.
The outlook toward the time when these
Indians will become self-supporting is
not all encouraging, and Agent Hall
says that he hardly expects to see any
material advance until the rising gener-
alton entirely supplants the older one.
The Influence of the old Indian is to-
ward the past and he IS utterly unpro-
gressive. OF the Indian court and the
police he speaks in the most compli-
mentary terms. The health Of the reser-
vation is only fair, the number of deaths
reported beng greater than the births.
Number of deaths, forty-one, number of
births, thirty.six. The greatest mortal
ity was among the children.
Major Hall and Judge McClory, 10 the
Devils Lake Inter-Ucean, state that the
Indians on the reservation are in bad
shape financially, owing to poor crops
this year, and unless aid is given them
by the government there will certainly
be m1ch suffering There we're only
about Il. 900 bushels OF wheat raised Oh
the reservation this year and at the low
price which now prevails the Indians
will get very little out of this crop after
paying the expenses Of harvesting and
threshlng As soon as the lake freezes
over there will be few Iudians who can
support themselves by selling wood in
Devils Lake city, but the number who
bave timber on their land and can do
this is limited. Major Hall has informed
the interior department OF the serious
condition of affairs and expects that the
government will grant relief. There is
so much red tape about such matters
however, that it may arrive too late to
do the Indians any good.

tire me with repetitions OF what seem TO

government should not foster private
speculations and enrich few mine

that I ought to know this is ''but an

No. Mr.. Editor. I don't know any
thing OF the kind, except that the silver
has been under the surface Of the earth,
and not on top; and 1 certainly know, or
official figures lie, that the product of
silver from American mines has in
creased about four times in twenty years
to which one side attributes loss of value
relatively with gold. Then l think it is
a sound proposition that the government
purchases have stimulated silver mining
greatly beyond what private enterprise
alone would have done: and that if the
five million purchases monthly by the
government had been continued indefi
nitely the treasury would have lost the
power Of payment in good currency, and
the credit Of the nation would have been
rendered az worthless as was that OF
