On Our Side of RAINY River.

DULUTH, MIMI, November 13.-The first
official information as to the newly discov-
cred gold country on the American side of
the boundary in the Rainy river country has
just been received here.
A. Gray, the special agent of the land de-
partment, returning to Duluth after two
weeks inspection trip, reports that there is
every indication that good field of great
richness had been discovered during his stay.
A test shaft was sunk IN one of the prop
critics and blasted. It revealed a consider
able quantity of free gold. He will recon-
mend that the lands in the gold field be
withdrawn from entry under the provisions
of the lumber, stone and homestead acts,
tended to apply to Minnesota.
This will, however, require a special act of
congress.

r.,s,., wh.at Prospects.

TopxxA. November 14.-Hon. Martin
Mohler, secretary of the state board OF agri--
culture, says that the growing wheat crop II
Kansas is better now than it was at tnls-
time last year. and the farmers are jcolians
over the prospects. 4ha
The rain, which fell over the state on tne
9th of last September had filled the eaL..
with moisture, enabling the farmers 70 so"
wheat under the most favorable conolIions.
The grain sprouted quickly and the stano =
good. Last season the ground was airy anu
q good deal of the seed rotted.
Mr.. Mohler says that the prospects are
particularly good in the central third OF rne
state, which Is in the great wheat belt 1ne
farmers sowed their wheat late In Septem-
Der and early in October, taking adVantage
of the excellent condition OF the ground
In the western third of the state many farm
ers were unable to get seed until late 10
October, ana were, therefore, delayed aoocb
sowing. In fact they are still sowing ID
some localities.
In Eastern Kansas the wheat, what there
is of it, is growing nicely. The farmers IN
that section devote their greatest energies 10
raising hogs and cattle, and corn Is their Ia
yorite crop.
A close examination of the reports re-
ceived leads Mr.. Mohler to believe that the
acreage of wheat in Kansas this fall will be
a great deal less than that of last fall. The
acreage last season reached nearly 5,OOO.0OO
acres. The falling off, Mr.. Mohler thinks,
is partly the result of the low price Of wheat
The hard times in western Kansas also had
something to do with it.

Business of the Week.

New YORK. November 13.-R. G. Dun's
Weekly Review says:
The sudden fall in the price of steel rails,
which had been maintained at $40 for a long
time, but is now $22 at the mills. brought
quick enlargement of the demand which
might have been anticipated, and in turn a
demand for ore, coke and pig iron.
The first week in November has passed
and thousands of business men breathe more
freely because apprehended failures in dry
goods have been much less numerous and
less important than feared.
The liabilities of failures last week show a
very encouraging decrease, amounting to
only $3,467 900 against 81 Ala, 600 of the pre-.
ceding week. and it is noticed that while the
number of failures does hot materially de.
crease as yet, there are fewer of importance.

His Fathers Heart Was Rent

TOLEDO, November 14.-SenatorS S. Parker,
of this city, was found dead at his home with
his heart literally, as we'll as fguratively
speaking, broken, for the organ was rent in
twain.
His sudden demise was the elimination of
continued brooding over the misdeeds OF his
son, S. B. Parker. Less than two weeks ago
the latter was arrested on the charge of forg
ing the name of his uncle, DIR. S. 5. Parker.
On Wednesday the father visited his son at
the Jail.
The disgrace of seeing his son imprisoned
for criminal offence proved too much for
him. On Thursday night he complained of
feeling bad. In the evening he was found
dead in his room. DR.. Parker examined his
dead brothers body and reported that he
had never come in contact with similar
case.
The rupture of the heart, he believes, was
actually brought on by grief at the sons
disgrace; the organ was separated IN two
distinct parts-literally broken heart.

Committees Pushing work.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. November 14.-There
is quite rivalry between the appropriations
and ways and means committees as to which
can get first consideration for their measures
in the house. While party policy may die
tate giving the preference to the ways and
means committee, and practically the entire
months of December and January to the
consideration of the tariff bill, the appropri-
atoms committee will certainly have its bills
ready for consideration much earlier than in
the past.
It is now quite definitely settled that the
tariff bill will be ready by the opening of
the regular session.
Chairman Springer announces that no tar
diness of the banking and currency COM
mittee will prolong the coming session.
There is q we'll concerted determination
among the chairman of all the important
committees to conclude their work at the
earliest practicable date and democratic
leaders generally hope for an adiournment
of the regular session not later than June 30.

New YORK, November 14.-President
Cleveland is expected to announce the ap-
p. Doane, of Chicago, bankers, az addi-
tional receivers for the Union Pacific road.
The government, it is said, is much worried
about the 100000 claim it holds against
the Union Pacific and therefore it is that
they have taken steps to control majority
of the receivers.
It was limited by capitalist pretty famil-
lar with Union Pacific matters, that ulti-
mately the government would assume abb
solute control of the road.
The story is confirmed by the authorita-
tive announcement that the government has
asked the court to appoint the additional
receivers mentioned before. This will give
