MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 1O.-A letter
has been received here from Miss ST.
gard Helgeson, a Norwegian girl, who
went as medical missionary to China
a year ago. The letter is dated June
IA, at Hankow, a place in Central
China, on the Yang Use Kiang river.
She writes:
Riots and unlawful acts occur
daily. Six provinces not far from
here have of late been devastated.
that is. property belonging to foreign
ers destroyed by fire and other means.
Many lives have been lost and innu-
merable arrests have followed. we
are apprehensive just now even here.
Telegraph wires are down and we
have not had any communication with
other settlements for some time. Pos
sibly this is my last, as we'll as nv
first letter home. But you must not
think that L am weakening for fear
of death. God is with me if I die or
live. Our post service is very unsafe
and irregular just now, and we fear
that no mail can be taken from the
interior safely for some time in case
our province becomes involved in
trouble. Yesterday I visited one of
my patients and when on nv wav
home was attacked by a mob throw
ing stones and mud. I was struck on
the head and it made me feel pretty
bad for the time, but today I am Ali
right. One of my former patients
happened to come along and by telling
them I was a harmless doctor saved
my life. for which I must Certainly
otherwise have lost"

TILLAGE CHEAPER THAN MAN.
URES

Was the burden of Professor Bal
ley's address to the western New York
horticultural society. With proper
tillage, we can draw upon the inn
mense reserves of plant food in the
soil. The manual labor required lor
such tiilage is cheaper than borrow
ing money for fertilizers, while we
still have in the soil a balance of
fertility which is not drawing inter
est. Tillage makes plant food avejl-
able for crops, breaks up the carl
larity of the surface, and interposes
between the moist undersoil and the
air as complete a mulch as a wooden
blanket is ITO a cake of ice. Tillage of
itself is the first Fundamental es-
sential of agriculture and the best
farmer is the one who does the most
OF it. A spirited discussion followed

railway people had nothing to say
save that the matter was simply one
of policy and division between the
lines interested. Just so soon as the

in the premises, the matter of dis
elimination against Salt Lake mer-

people, will be removed, and it may
all result in decided gain for Utah

How to Let the Driver Know What

The invention of a carriage 1ndi-
Gator has been hailed with delight in
London, and is rapidly being fitted to
private carriages and cabs in the
metropolis. No longer will the occu-
pants of hanson or brougham need
20 crush their hats, wave umbrellas
and shout in vain to make OaDby or
coachman stop, go on, or turn to the

By means of this simple apparatus
the direction can be instantly and ac-
curately communicated to the driver.
The pointer being placed opposite a
given direction, another pointer in
front of the driver is made to show the
order on a dial plate, bell ringing
at the same time to call the drivers
attention to the order.

A PARTY FOR OFFICE ONLY.

MARYLAND Democrats having freed the
state from a condition which exasperated
them into alliance with Republicans as the
best means of e~ffecting reform are nov
thinking about the presidential election.
The Baltimore News says:
Maryland is a Democratic state and 1t
will never be anything else except in the
local elections. If the Republicans redeem
their promises this time they can keep in
line for promotion in city and state when
ever the dominant party proves unworthy.
But on national questions Maryland is as
reliably Democratic as any state in the
Union. and will remain SO now that the
mercenary ~scalawags who have usurped
control OF the party have been thrown
