CROPS IN NORTH DAKOTA.

The following extract from letter,

prominent business nan of Fargo, n
D., to a friend in Madison, is entirely
trustworthy as regards crops in the
Red river valley.
1--WE have had since the last week in
May a great deal Of rain, most weeks
several showers and for the last ten
days rain about every other day. 1t
has now cleared off finely and we hope
for better weather. We have fine
crops growing. | hear some talk of
rust and smut in the wheat and oats,
but my opinion is there is not much
damage to come from the causes,
Some say potatoes are rotting in the
hill, but a farmer who is raising a
large field was in ten minutes ago and
he says his are not and that they are
very large and fine. We nave, think,
too many potatoes planted this year.
Our people have gone wild in this di
rectiOn. There is one farmer at Carrel-
ton who has $40 acres and he expects
200 bushels per acre. 1t will cost a
pile of money to pay freights. Farmers
are now cutting their barley and in q
week will commence wheat harvest.
We are feeling we'll and very hopeful
of a prosperous year. We have large
of fax this year in this valley
and it Isl looking well"

SETTLERS TO SUFFER.
UNCLE SAM TO PUNISH THOSE
WHO SHOT INDIANS.
A Painful Surprise Said to Be IN
Store for White MurdererS
in the West.

Market Lake, Id, July 30-lt is re-
ported chat there is surprise IN store
for the settlers of JacksOn's Hole,
most Of whom believe the troops are
only going to that section to protect
the settlers from the Indians. 1t Is
stated that indictments will be sworn
out against every one of the settlers
who was conneced with the killing
of the Indians who tried to escape
while under arrest. This is in line
with the recommendation made by
Indian Agent Teter in his official re-
port of the original trouble. The set
tiers will be put on trial for taking
the Indians lives and in this way the
mooted question of authority in Jack
sons Hole will eventually reach le-
gal settlement. 1t is said to be the in
tention of the war department to pre-
vent any blood being shed by either
side if possible, and endeavor to get
the Indians to return quietly to their
reserva tons.

\ Successful Test Given at the Resi-
dence of E. c. Naphey.

Philadelphia, July 2S.-A practical
test OF acetylene gas was given at the
residence OF E. G. Napheys, 2O24
North Broad street, last evening before
a large number of prominent men.
Joseph \. Vincent conducted tile tt,St
He first led the visitors TO the has
ment, where the apparatus used in the
experiment was situated. This appa-
ratus is extremely simple. consisting
Of a small tank. which contained the
acetylene condensed III a LIQUID form.
The gas pipe was detached from the
meter and connected with this re-
ceiver and then the -as was turned on.
Its extreme brilliancy captivated the
audience. The difference between it
and ordinary city gas is marked. The
acetylene gas, burning through a one
foot burner, gives over 56-candle-
power, while ordinary city gas. burn
ing through the ordinary tiye-foot
burner, gives about 16-candle-power
AS part of the experiment seven incan-
turned on and then off and the new
gas from two burners was lit, when
it was found that the latter gave a
much more brilliant light. Another
advantage about the new gas Is lis
great cheapneSs. 1t is estimated that
when it is brought in competition with
city gas it will bring it down to six
teen cents per 1000 cubic feet. Its
adapta bility is another important point
in its favor, as it can be carried in the
liquid form in cylinders and placed in
service at a moments notice.
A company will soon be incorporated
and will be known as the Acetylene
Light, Heat and Power company,
whose object will be to liQuify the gas
and supply it to the city of Philadel-
phia and vicinity The promoters in
the enterprise are Joseph Vincent e.
G. Naphey, G. G. Adams, S. L. Kent
and Frank Lewis. The gas is now in
use in Europe, where it is used in illu-
minating railroad coaches, omnibuses
and other public cOnveyanceS as we'll
as private dwellings. Among those
who witnessed the test were J. Morris
Perot, J. w. Mumford, D. w. Shoe
maker Henry c. Kelsey, secretary Of
state Of New Jersey; Chief Parks, Of
the bureau of gas; f. L. Paiso, of

An Ill Season for the Tide of Bust

Little Shrinkage.

New York, July 27.-Dun's report
says; 1t is an i'll season for the tide
Of business to rise, but there is pre-
ceived scarcely any shrinkage, except
that which comes naturally with mid
summer heat. The volume of new
business is small compared with re-
cent months, but large enough to en-
courage more openings of long closed
works and more advances in returns
to labor. Important strikes show that
the advance is not enough for some,
but strikers seem not more threaten
ing than a Weke ago. Accounts of
shrinkage in the yield of wheat come
both from the Pacific states and the
Dakotas. It would be strange and IN
natural for July without such re-
ports, and yet they have weight
enough this year to lead even the most
experienced to reduce somewhat their

advanced IA cents. Light western
