Nothing could be more untruthful or
unjust than the above. When Governor
Allin vetoed the appropriation bills he
became subject to all just criticism that

In of the great rise in the price
of beef, and the reported scarcity of
cattle, the chief of the Bureau OF Ami
mai Industry, DR.. Salmon. has recon-
mended to the secretary of agriculture,
who has approved the recommendation,
the admission of Mexican cattle into the
United States, under stringent regula-
tons calculated to insure a rigid in
spection of all cattle admitted. DR..
Salmon believes that such a course may
be safely pursued, with the exercise of
due vigilance, and that under the cir
cumstances it is judicious. It is hoped
by this means to check the tendency to
excessive prices to the consumer, with
out injuriously affecting the interests of
the beef producers. 1t is but natural
that the rise in beef should not be ap-
preciated here, but in eastern cities,
where steaks sell for % and 80 cents a
pound, and even more, the high prices of
beef are felt and appreciated. Whether
the rise will continue or not is a ques-
ton. Probably with the summer and
fall shipments, beef will reach a more
normal figure than now, but even at a
considerably lower price, there is fo~d
for reflection to the farmer in the pres.
ent condition of the market, and proof
that a few fat cattle come in very hand
lily at almost any time. The farmer who
has a moderate herd, and can take ad.
vantage of a market like the present, is
the one who understands his occupa-
ton, and the several features of the
business. .

A YEAR ago we predicted, says G. M.
Hartwick, of Grand Forks, one of the
authorities on crops, that the wheat area
of North Dakota for 1894 would be from
2,750,000 to 100000 acres. The report
the of commissioner of agriculture shows
that the wheat area was 3,037, 643 acres, as
against 3,0l9,253 acres in 1898, being an
increase of 1890 acres, with Hettinger
county unreported. In the SIX Red
River valley counties of North Dakota
the wheat acreage in 1893 was, 1929
208; 1894 was 1,606,466, showing a de-
GREASE of 17,442 acres. In 1893 there
was sown to wheat in the Red River val
ley counties of North Dakota 1925 O8;
number of acres harvested, 1,596,478;
number of acres not harvested, 81, 433O

Sermon Topics oc To-day.

It will not do for brethren Of the pull
pit to be so afraid Of sensation that
they permit their hearers to doze off in
TO a comfortable sleep. The preacher is
wisest who knows how to keep from 60
ing too far, but at the same time who
knows how to get ont of tho rutS. A
late writer in The Homiletic Review in
sists that taking topics from the news Of
the day was not an apostolic practice.
And yet Paul knew how to make the
gladiator, the wrestler, the boxer and
the runner in athletic games texts for
his spiritual exhortation. It is, how
ever, in the training Of the twelve by
the great Master that we find how each
event of current history was made to
convey heavenly Lesson. Husbandman
and fisherman, children playing in the
market place and housewives hunting
for the lost piece of the wedding dowry,
all were mirrored in his never to be for
gotten sermons. When the tower of ST.
loan fell, he noted it in his discourse.
When Horod went to Rome "to receive
a kingdom, he preached upon that
event and its results. Tho sermonizing
that illustrates all its lessons by refer
ence to Greece and Rome, not to say
Egypt and Assyria, will not be very
sensational, neither will it be produc-
tive OF great good. Men arc moro inter

RACE BY DEER, PANTHER AND ENGINE.
en- Episode OF Railroad Travel In u Flor
Ida Swamp.

Ida swamp.
C. c. Taylor, engineer of the Pablo
railroad, has pulled u throttle for 50
years, and during that time has had
many novel experiences, but Sunday he
had one that has no parallel in his life's
history.
1t was during the run from Pablo to
Jacksonville. About eight miles this
side of Pablo is Cedar swamp, a tangled
morass in which bear, wildcats, deer,
and even panthers have often been kill
ed. When about half way through the
swamp, an immense buck, wild eyed
and lathered with sweat, made clean
leap of 20 feet on to the track, within
so feet of the engine. An instant later
there was n crash of the underbrush, and
out of it came an immense panther,
running so fast that he seemed to DO
level with the ground. He was so eager
to catch the game ahead of him that he
had no eye for the train.
Passengers in the five coaches did not
know of the exciting race going on ahead
OF the cowcatcher, but they did notice
that there was q series of quick and sue
cessive jerks, and that the train was
spinning along through the swamp swamp al
whizzing paca-..., Nv. = chis time that
Engineer Taylor resolved to take hand
in the race himself. He pulled the throt-
tie wide open.
The deer was 100 yards ahead, and
the panther was 80 yards behind the
deer. The deer was barely holding his
own. Something seemed to be the mat
ter with him, for he didn't run as he
should. The deer kept the track for half
a mile Before he left the track, how
ever, the engine crawled close upon the
panther. He heard the rumbling of the
wheels and the trembling Of the track,
and he quickly got out of the way, hid
ing himself in the underbrush by So
ries of successive and graceful leaps
The deer did not quit the track until
quarter Of a mile further on. He took
to the open pine woods or the opposite
side to that which the panther had leap
ed, and the last seen of him he was still
running like chain lightning
Conductor Rogero went ahead to see
what WIS up when the train was run
ming so fast, but only got there in time
to see the deer scudding through the
woods. He told few of the passengers,
but none of them was fortunate enough
to catch a glimpse of the buck.

Harder Than Steel.

Des Moines has modern Tubal Cain
In the person of S. R. Dawson, who
claims to have discovered the lost art Of
making Damascus steel. He has ex-
hibited in Chicago some samples of cut
lery made from the metal which had
an edge keener and smoother than steel
razor This was demonstrated by a mi
croscope and photography. The new
metal is a combination of copper and
tin and two other elements which Mr..
Dawson keeps secret A dagger made
from it looked like polished gold. Mr..
Dawson claims to be lineal descendant
of Ralph Hogge, who cast the first iron
cannon made in England, and his an
cestors Oh both his fathers and mother
sides have been workers in iron and
steel. He says his discovery is partly ac-
cident, but primarily the reward Of years
Of labor, research and experiment. He
claims that the rev steel or hardened
copper is suitable for any kind of cut
lery from a common pocketknife TO the
most delicate surgical instrument, and
that no deletericus oxide (rust) forms
