disagreeable little misunderstand-
ing has arisen between Capt. William
Louis Kelly Jr., the newly elected cap
tain of Battery A, of this city, and
Col. Revans, the assistant adjutant
general. 1t may delay the issuance of
Capt. Kelly's commission for a few
days. 1t has been stated that Gen.
Nuremberg is very much offended with
Kelly, the alleged reason being that the
captain stands accused of having
stated that the officers of the First
regiment were drunk and not to be
found at the camp Tuesday night, when
Kelly needed an order from some one
who had authority to issue it for some
transportation. He came up to town,
and when asked by Col. Bevans why
he had not obtained his order at the
camp, the colonel says that he in
formed him that the officers were all
off on a drunk.
This is the story as told by Col. Bey-
ans to the adjutant general, and the
point is one of veracity between Col.
Bevans and Kelly. The latter indig-
nantly denies having said anything of
the kind.
When seen about the matter Gen.
Nuremberg stated that KelIy's commits
sion had not been issued because the
certificate of his election had not yet
been received at the office. The general
stated further that when his papers
were completed the matter would come
before him, and that he would then
take up the matter of the statement
regarding the officers in camp that
Kelly is reported to have made

it had no foundation in fact Kelly had

commander. This in itself was a
breach of discipline, but he is a young
man and inexperienced which may
account for a good deal"
Col. c. Nee. Reeve asserts that he
does not believe that Kelly had made
such a remark as was credited to him.

North Dakota CrODs

North Dakota CrODs
BISMARCK, N. D., july IA few
reports of damage from hail, heat and
other causes are received this week.
but, taken on the whole, the crop pros
poets still remain very fattering, es-
pecially the wheat crop. Hail has done
some damage in Richland, Ransom.
Grand Forks and Benson counties. but
the damage, taken in proportion to the
entire crop, is only a small per cent of
it. Reports from Sargent county indi-
cate that the wheat there has been
damaged 20 per cent by either frost
or heat, it is not known which. 1t is
very doubtful if there has been any in
jury done by excessive heat, as the
temperature during the past two weeks
has been slightly below the usual
amount, with the exception of two days
when it was slight above, and in both
cases has been so near the normal that
damage by it does not seem probable.

Railroads Send Out Warnings to
Take Care of the Crop in Good
Time.

The work of sending out harvest
hands into the wheat regions goes
on right merrily, and crews are made
up as fast as men can be had for
the work. Another contingent, or
rather several contingents, were
shipped out yesterday by all Of the
Northwestern lines. The Great
Northern took out about forty men,
all that could be obtained during the
day. The Northern Pacific also Sc
cured something like fifty men and
forwarded them in punches to points
in North Dakota. Moore & Co.
booked twenty, Gervais ten and AL
len & Co. about forty more.
Mr.. Allen said to a G o b report
er that the men were getting rather
scarce. During the past three DAYS
something like 400 men have been
sent away from the city, and the
supply of idle 1aborers is practically
drained. Cal Stone took a more hone
full view of the matter. He thought
that as soon as wages took a slight
advance in the harvest fields MANY
men who are now employed at small
wages would quit their jobs and go
out to work in the fields. That
would be very likely the case with
many railroad laborers, who are only
getting about $3.50 a day and have
to board themselves, while they can
do better in the harvest fields and
have their board free.
Another week and the demand will
be urgent. Whatever can be done to
secure sufficient help to gather the
crops will certainly be done, and the
railroads know better than anyone
else what Importance attaches to the
issue.
General Passenger Agent Whit
ney, of the Great Northern, is fully
alive to the situation, and is in
structing all agents to look out for
available men. The following is the
text of circular issued by the Great
Northern, and which is now being
sent broadcast through the North
west:
A thorough investigation of the crop
prospects in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas has been made and the result is
most gratifying, but there is need of
help to properly care for the abundance
now in the fields. Harvesters, thresh-
ing crews and machines will be needed
In nearly every locality. The lesson Of
1881, When hundreds of acres of as fine
grain as ever grew spoiled uncut or in
the shock, should not be repeated this
year. History sometimes repeats itself.
1t may require little extra expense to
properly secure the sheaves in stacks.
when the thresher is not available to
handle them directely from the cutting.
but this should be met so that the
farmer may get the full benefit of the
years work. Failure must not come
at last through negligence. When all
the vicissitudes of the seasons pass us
by and the fields fairly TEEN with pIen-
ty, spare no effort to garner it. Get
men and machines and save the crop,
1t may rain again as it did in 81.
