They Claim to Have Been Promised
Money by Eastern Banks.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 26.-The big elevator
companies of Minnesota, having failed
to make an agreementwith the farmers
and banks as to a method of moving
the grain crop, have taken the bull by
the horns and resolved themselves to
to push the crop to central markets as
possible. Ten elevators have been
opened at Lake Crystal, Garden City,
Vernon, Amboy, Elmore, Madelia,
Brewster. Sheldon, Sioux Falls and
Montrose. Twenty-six more will be
opened on Monday. The companies
claim they have the promise Of plenty
of funds from Eastern banks and will
pay currency or certified checks for all
grain purchased,

THE EDWARDS PLAN.
The Banks at MayviIle, N. d., Propose
to Move Crops.


MAYvILLE, Aug. 29.-After long con.
sidera ton Bankers Rosholt of the First
National bank and Edwards Of the
Goose River bank of Mayville have put
into successful operation a plan that
will solve the moving of the crop prob
lem that is before the minds of the peo-
pie of the Northwest and will relieve
the currency famine in this vicinity.
The Edwards" plan as it is called here,
is as follows: The banks issue drafts
on their Minneapolis and st. Paul banks
payable to bearer, i'll small denomina-
tions of &5, $40 and 800 These, to-
getEer with some silver, the elevator
men pay the farmers in exchange for
wheat. The farmers use these drafts
in paying their store bills, twine
notes, machine notes, and, in fact, the
drafts will pass current everywhere in
this country. The grain men ship the
wheat and sell it in the markets below,
receiving drafts in payment. These are
received by the banks here and sent to
their correspondents below for credit,
and thus, with but little trouble and
no anxiety, the crop will be sold, the
farmers and merchants get their ac-
counts paid, the banks their notes paid,
and the great problem is at once solved.
The bonanza farmers are paying their
men under this plan, and it meets sat
isfaction,

BAD INDIANS.

Rock Springs, Wyo.. Oct. 1O.-The
country north of Rock Springs is overrun
with Indians who wantonly destroy game
for the hides. These red devils respect
neither man, woman, nor the laws Of the
country. They not only kill the game for
hides, but annoy the settlers by running
stock off the ranges. About Il month ago
these lazy vagabonds swoopcd down upon
the country southeast Of Rock Springs
and cleared up nearly everything in sight.
A fire which was started by them is now
raging in the timber. They are very in
solent and do not hesitate to kill the
stock of the settlers for their own use.
They have with them four or five thou
sand head of ponies, eating up every
spear Of grass in the country. The set
tiers have made complaint to the au-
thorities. but no effort has been made
to stop the deprcdations.

q relic which President Perrin thinks
will figure in Il museum one of these
days, when rapid transit. by electricity
especially. has completely revolution
lied Baltimore, and made the city's
progress and development Il matter Of
record, says the World.
Half hidden with cobwebs and dust,
and pushed in one corner to make room
for the vehicles in daily use, is a car
which is historic. for it is the first real
electric car cver I'LL in the United
States and the second in the world,
Germany claiming the honor for the
other.
1t was in the summer Of 1886 that
the City and Suburban secured the now
old-fashioned motor and put it into
operation, but. while the concern was
practically a failure, electricians from
all parts Of the country tiockel this
way to see the novelty tested, and
the car was Il drawing card for the
time being. In the spring Of the same
year w. NJ. Daft, the distinguished
electrician and scientist of New York,
was requested to come to Baltimore by
the Suburban Railway company,
through President Perrin, with eXpecta-
lions that he would be able to make
practicable the problem Of faster street
locomotion by electricity. After no end
of experiments, failures and delays,
Aug. 2G, 1856, just seven years ago,
saw the road completed and the
Morse made it's first trip, which met
all requirements and was pronounced q
success.
The trailer attached, with its twenty
five passengers, covered the distance
of 2 1-S miles in five minutes time,
a rate of speed equal to the rapid flyers
of to-day. The road was kept in opera
ton some time and her the company
began the improvements, which are still
under way. at a cost of over 81, 100000.
The old Morse" while running well
enough for the time, did not answer re-
quirements, because n ground current
was used, and frequent accidents oc-
Cured through contact Of wires wlul
gas pipes and the like, and stoppages
and delays finally became 70 nlme'
Gus that horses again replaced the
coup-shaped motor ear. while the $1,000
Daft relic was stabbed as a trophy on
Huntingdon avenue, to be still later
supplanted by The improved type OF
