Hopgrowers Discouraged.

w
c. Greenfield. living northeast OF Fern
dale, is picking hops. He will have two
tons. There are only three hop raisers
in the county picking their crop this year
owing TO the low prices. Probably the
crop on 125 acres will be left untouched
in the field. A hop grower from the Nook
sack valley says that the low prices are
due 10 the large amount of hops left over
from last year, which enabled the consul
mers to stock up from the old supply,
and to the fact that the hop yards of New
York and the Eastern states are 200 miles
closer to the market than the Western
hop growing area and the crop in the East
this year IS luxuriant one. Then the
brewers and consumers OF hops are using
another article OF commerce, which costs
almost nothing, instead of hops. in making
beer All these causes combined bring
down the price below the cost OF produce
ton. Many Of the hop growers are going
to abandon the idea Of growing hops until
some of these causes disappear.

An American Girl vio1inist.

The mother Of Dora Valesca Becker had,
rs a child, the greatest craving to study
the violin, but her wish was never realized,
because her father, a wealthy Hungarian
merchant, was opposed to the idea Of hay-
ing a girl educated in music. Mrs. Beck
or was therefore determined, should she
be blessed with a daughter, to have her
learn the violin, writes Frederic Reddall in
The Ladies' Home journal. So it came
about that the little Dora began her stud
les when only six years Of age. She was
born in Galveston, her father being CON
duotor of the Galveston Singing society.
At the age Of 2 she made her debut at the
Galveston Opera House. At a second con
cert, given when she was only 9 years old,
she won the hearts Of the people in such a
manner that they sent her presents of jew
elry and a beautiful violin.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 28.-Trouble
has again broken out between Kalispel1
Indians and settlers along the east ridge
of the Pend D'Orille river, in Idaho,
over the disputed possession of what the
Indians claim is their reservation, but
which is in reality government land. A
large delegation Of white settlers have
come to this city and state that they
were driven off rom their farms by In
dians, who threatened them with death
if they dared return. The redskins for
chilly took possession Of the homes and
property of the whites, and told the lat
ter that such was their instructions from
Indian Agent Bulb. The settlers are
preparing to go back armed and in force
and drive the Indians out of the neigh
borhood. The Indians are ugly and the
settlers determined and serious.

The Value of Advertising,

One Of the largest advertisers in London
says: "We once hit upon q novel %expedient
for ascertaining over what area our adver-
tisements were read. We published a cou-
pie of half column ads. in which we pur-
posely misstated half a dozen historical
facts. In less than a week we received be-
tween 300 ard 400 letters from all parts of
the country, from people wishing to know
why on earth we kept such a consu1nmate
idiot, who knew SO little about English
history. The letters kept pouring in for
three or four weeks. It was one of the
best paying ads we ever printed, but we
did not repeat our experiment, because the
one I refer tosserved it's purpose. Dur let
ters came from ~schoolboys, girls, profess
ors, clergymen, schoolteachers, and, in
two instances, from eminent men who
have a worldwide reputation. I was more
impressed with the value of advertising
from those two advertisements than ]
should have been by volumes of theories

THE CABINET OF 1886.
Sir james stansfeld Gives "Reminiscences
of Gladstone's Fight.

Sir james Stansfleld Gives "Reminiscences
of Gladstone's Fight.
In a sketch Of Sir James Stansfeld,
IN The Review of Reviews, Mr.. w. z.
Stead quotes Stansfield on some very in
terestlng points with regard to the Glad
stone cabinet of 1856 and the secession of
the Unionists from the Liberal party. The
veteran statesman says:
'Trevelyan left tho cabinet. Mr.. Glad
stone sent for me. ItSl not want to go,
but he pressed me. We talked matters
over. / said, Chamberlain and Trevelyan
have left you, and before I can join the
cabinet l must ask the cause of their resig-
nations. Idon't want to como in and then
have to leave Hell ssented. But it ended
this way, that I put my views into writ
Ing and left it to him to determine wheth-
or J. should join or not, and he decided to
tako me in. The Unionists, in my opin-
ion, ought never to have left the Liberal
party. If they had determined to remain,
they could lave tied Mr.. Gladstone's
hands. He would have been compelled to
retain them in his cabinet; the instinct Of
the prime minister would have been to
keep the cabinet together. 1t was a great
tactical mistake in my view to vote against
the second reading Of the bill"
Sir James Stanstield is one Of the Oldest
members of parliament. He has sat con-
tinuously for SO years. The following re-
marks, therefore, Oh what he thinks of the
house are specially interesting:
Parliament used to be considered the
best club IN Europe, but now u great many
people have no desire to get into parlia-
mont. There is too much work, with
nothing to show for it, and they are wor-
ried by their constituents. In the old days
we had many more full dress debates and
much less worry. There were many SPLEEN
did speakers, but there was no one equal
to Gladstone, or anything like him. Bright
was not really Il debater. In this now par
lament there are a greater number of
good speakers than in any parliament in
which l have been. You do not have so
much full dress debating, because that is
not the fashion today"

GRATITUDE OF A SLAVE.
He Remembers His Plantation Mistress
His Days of Prosperity.

he Remembers His Plantation Mistress In
His Days of Prosperity.
When one reads a story such as the fol-
lowing, related by the Philadelphia Ledg-
or, skepticism concerning human gratitude
must necessarily be somewhat shaken: A
wealthy slave owner of the cotton belt en-
tered the southern army, fought bravely
and brilliantly and died in one Of the clos
tug battles of the war.
His widow was left penniless, with large
plantations incumbered with mortgages
and a hundred or more emancipated ne
groes who had ceased to be her property.
Her business affairs were m~islnanaged by
agents and lawyers, and she lost one plan
tation after another Her health failed,
and in her old age she became wholly de-
pendent Upon n of Ger former slaves.
This negro was grateful to her for having
given him a start after the war.
Learning from experience that she could
not manage her plantations successfully,
she had rewarded the fidelity of a small
group of emancipated slaves by deciding
over to them outright small farms. This
negro received in this way a farm of 26
acres, with d cabin. He prospered from
tho outset. He made a living out of his
ground and saved every year a little money.
In the course of a few years he bought an
other farm and doubled his resources. Other
purchases followed, until he was a truck
farmer with considerable wealth. He did
not forget his old plantation mistress in
his prosperity. When she had lost all her
property, this negro rescued her from des-
titution. He became her most faithful
friend. Both are still living. On the first
day Of every month the negro farmer
draws a check for 500 and sends it to the
aged lady, whose slave he was in his boy
hood. At first she was unwilling to be-
come his pcnsioner, but he pressed help
upon her with tears in his eyes, telling her
that he would never have got on in the
world if she had not generously aided him
by giving him the first farm. His bounty
Is now her only resource.

THE
Weekly Crop. Bulletin Report For
Week Ending, Monday,
August 26th.

The past week has been generally
favorable for harvesting except in the
northeastern part of the state where fire.
quent showers have delayed it some-
what. Cutting of grain is nearly over
except in the extreme northern portion
where it is about half done, being de-
layed both by weather and by the fact
that the straw is unusually heavy and
badly lodged making the work very
slow. The end of this week will prob
ably see about all the grain in shock,
and a large part of it stacked. In the
southern part of the state much more
grain is being stacked than usual, said
to be on account of the low prices which
prevail now, farmers preferrlng to put it
in the stack and sweat to threshing it
from the shock, as is often done.
\ heavy frost in the northern part Of
the state on the 10Th and Goth has done
considerable damage to late sown grain
and all other vegetation. At Wood
bridge in Cavalier county the Their
mometer registered 30 degrees and a
heavy white frost formed, but fortunately
most of the crops were beyond being
injured by it.
High winds the first part of last week
continued to she'll overripe wheat that
had not been cut. Threshing is we'll
under way in a good many sections and
considerable new grain has been mar
keted, most of it being of the highest
grade.
Corn is coming rapidly to the front in
the southern part Of the state, but in
the northern part is considerably behind.
Potatoes are ripe and being dug in a
good many places.
Drouta is prevailing in Griggs county;
streams, springs and sloughs going dry
and pasturage drying up. In most Sec
tons rain is needed badly to mature
corn and what little late grain is now
left,
