Farmer Wallace We are going to
have probably the greatest fires this fall
we have had for years. Vegetation is
rank, aud extra %precaution should be
taken to protect the farmers. A large
prairie fire this fall would do incalcula-
BILE damage. The farmers should COM
mence early to prepare fire guards which
will afford sufficient protection.
The seqdel to the Kirkwood domestic
difficulty was enacted in district court at
Fargo Monday afternoon, when Judge
Mcconnell granted q decree Of divorce
to Mrs. Kirkwood. Kirkwood will be
remembered as the popular conductor
Billy" who, it is claimed, eloped with
the wife of Joe Rolph of Moorhead, and
leaving a shortage in his accounts with
the railroad.
Captain Gregg has received an invita-
ton from the headquarters of the Society
of the Army of the Tennessee to attend
the Twe~nty-seventh annual reunion at
Cincinnati, on. September 16 and II,
where the annual address will be deliv-
cred by Col. Fred D. Grant. Captain
Gregg was one of the members of the
Army of the Tennessee, and will prob
ably attend the reunion with his wife.
Several of the bicyclists about town
have had their wheels incurred against
loss by theft. Wheel insurance COM
panies do quite a business nowadays,
especially among riders in the larger
cities of the east. For a small sum,
about 50 a year, the wheel is insured,
and if stolen, the owner receives a new
wheel of the same make and value as
the one lost, at once, which he keeps
until his own is recovered.
The base ball team has been looking
about for new worlds to conquer, and is
now in correspondence with the Grand
Forks team, relative to a proposed game.
The Grand Forks boys offer them 80 per
cent of the gate receipts, but thej boys
want a guarantee of 5000, to pay all ex-
penses. If they can make the arrange
ments, they will probably play a series
of games-two with Grand Forks, two
with Grafton and with some other of
tie valley teams.
The Mandan Pioneer repents. It says:
"The least SAID about the base ball
match the better, and if the Pioneer did
it's duty it probably ought to take back
many things it has said about local base
ball as the home team are failing most
lamentatly to sustain the reputation for
good playing that has been given it.
Yesterday the game was q to l in favor
Of the Bismarckers. If Kline, the I'M
pire, gets a roasting across the river, he
must not be surprised"
Not only has the season been fayora-
BILE to grain, but all kinds of small fruit
has done we'll. Oscar Ward, who has
M of the finest homes in the county on
the banks of the Missouri river, on what
is unquestionably the finest drive in the
state, was in the city yesterday marketing
the first crop of currants. They were
large and luscious and in great demand,
and the agricultural editor of the TR1B-
UNE, who was favored with a sample,
p%ronounces them par excellence.
Steele Ozone: Clark W. Haggart has
sold his ranch to a local syndicate of
stock farmers in Chestina, consisting of
Haynes Jones, Frank Meyer and Ed
Tusswiigeon. They take the ranch and
young stock while Mr.. Haggart ships
the beef cattle himself. Kidder county
people will be.sorry to see Mr. Haggart
leave, as he has ..made all his friends dur
ing his association with them. We un-
derstand he has been rendered a lucra
tive position with his brother John Hag-
gert of Cass county, and has made this
change to enable him to accept.
Fargo Forum: Colonel Lounsberry
returned from Bismarck Sunday. In
regard to the penitentiary board he eaid
the reduction of number and salaries of
employees and other expenses for the
months of March, April and May
amounted to over $1,000. At this rate
it will amount to over $4,000 for the
two years. The penitentiary has over
300 acres in crops, worked by the pris-
oners and crops never looked better.
The corn on 100 acres stand aver on the
ground and about a foot high. The
prise ners have also set out a large num-
Der Of trees at the capital grounds and
every one is growing.
