Forty-fve Dcering Irvine rlnders,
forming a procession half a mile in
length and steadily moving through q
waving sea Of wheat-such was the
sight that greeted the foreign commits
sioners to the Worlds Fair during
t~heirrccent famous visit to the bonanza
! ms OF North Dakota. This impos-
ing spectacle was witnessed on the
great elk Valley farm at Larimore, n.
D., q farm comprising $1,000 acres or
nearly nineteen square miles, 10, 600
acres OF which formed n unbroken,
fenceless field of wheat. To witness
this sight the distinguished spectators,
comprising fifty foreign diplomats,
Worlds Fair commissioners and
representatives Of the foreign
press. together with an equal
number of Americans eminent in
! Worlds Fair, railroad and Commercial
circles. had undertaken the discom-
forts of a Thousand mile journey from
Chicago; and the exclamations OF de-
light and surprise, and the cries of
bravo" that rang out en- the air
showed that their expectations were
vastly more than realized. IRON st.
Paul through Minnesota and North
Dakota they travelled as guests Of tho
Great Northern railroad. and the
farther north they travelled the
warmer and more cordial was their re-
ception. Here at Larimore they
found the climax of interest and the
height of hospitality. They were
met at their traia aud escorted to car
riages by what seemed to be the whole
population OF tue 1ltt4o civ at Lar,-
mere. headed by O. H. Phillips. the
mayo:, Gov. Shortridge and N. q.
Larimore, tho proprietor of the great
farm which they were to see. Silently,
and almost breat5lessly at first, they
viewed the mighty lhalanx of ma
chimes; then quickly alighting from
their conveyances they followed the
machines o foot, eagerly peering
into their mechanism, as if bent on
finding the secret of their perfect, au-
to matte, almost ~Ioiseless action. For
ar hour or more they followed the ma
chimes, asking innumerable questions
of Nil. Larimore and his sons, when
their attention was called to scientific
tests of draft that were being made
under the supervision of Mayor o. H.
Phillips and MIR. G. H. Olmstead. The

of this meeting, but the delays that char
acterized the sessions of the committee
during the busy hours of the last legis-

out. The committeeman explained in ex-
.tenuation of this fact that the stenog-
rapher of the inquisition had not
transcribed his notes, and not one of the
committeeman would undertake to re-
late the purport of the evidence that had
been taken. Despite this fact, all agree
that the evidence is of a sensational ma
ture, and. that the public will be startled
when the testimony is laid before them.
The report will probably be given out
carly this week.

SWINDLER.

New York, Oct. 9.-There has evidently
been an effort on the part of some one
to swindle the relatives of Billy Deutsch.
Early last week Mrs. j. Bernhardt, a
sister living at No. 81 West Thirteenth
street, received a letter purporting to
come from her brother in Denver, asking
that she send him $500 ut once. 1t was
a most miserable scrawl. 1t represented
him as penniless and without friends.
The fact of the request for money being
made to her by letter aroused Mrs.
B%ernhardt's suspicious and she tele-
graphed to Denver and learned that the
letter was q fraud.
