A Big POTATO Yield.

The potato yield in. this state this fall
will be immense, indeed so great that
farmers are making arrangements in
many places to buy pigs and feed to
them for pork. Some great fields are
reported. One man in Cass county has
a full section in potatoes, from which he
expects a yield of 200 bushels to the
acre, or $4,000 bushels in all. Just how
such a yield can be taken care of and
gotten to market is a question that puz-
zles owners and railroad men. Most of
the fields in potatoes are small, but nearly
every county reports that farmers have
about doubled the acreage of 1894. An
almost complete absence of bugs is also
noted, and the wet weather has made
the growth luxuriant. In 1898 the total
acreage Of potatoes in the state was
1880 and the average yield 50 bushels.
In 1894 the acreage was $4,000. It is
thought that there are $4,000 acres in
the crop this season. For 1891 and 1892,
fairly good years, the average yield was
140 bushels. It will be better now. Many
claim 200 bushels as an average.

weights and measures. The supply of
measures is a large one, comprising
every conceivable standard of dry, linear,

THE KENT CASE.
One Hundred and seventy.fve Men
Examined Before a Jury Had
Been Secured.

Out of the thirty -four men examined in
the Kent case, up to adjournment Thurs
day night, but three were chosen to take
their seats in the jury box. 1t is thought
that it will take ten days to secure a
jury. Immediately or converting yester-
day morning the process Of examining
the jurors began. Twelve more of the
panel we're examined and out of that
number, only two jurors we're secured
A. G. Newman Of Fargo and Thomas
Baker of Wheatland. This exhausted
the regular panel, and then thirty more
men were summoned. Fifteen of these
were examined, and out of that number
but one juror was secured, W. G. Judd
Of Fargo being the man. These three
we're the only ones secured Thursday.
A. Plummer, A. G.. Lewis, w J. Price
and j. MacSmith we're added to the
Kent jury in Fargo Friday, making
seven in ali. Seventeen men we're exam
ined, and thirteen excused or challenged.
The defense has now exhausted twelve
peremptories and the state five, and the
jury thus far consists of two real estate
men, one plumber, n farmer, n mer-
chant, ore judge and one phrenologist.
One peculiar incident was 1.-THE
examination of E. S. Tyler of Fargo,
who Was the first juror called Friday
morning. When questioned by Attorney
Hildreth he said that he had formed an
opinion and it was against the defend
ant. Defense passed for cause-actual
bias. Further questioned by MI. Nye,
he stated that if he was to go into the
jury room he would bring in a verdict of
guilty. It is hardly n cessary to say he
was excused.
Nothing more than the ordinary pro-
cess Of securing the jury same up in the
Kent case Saturday. The special venire
of twenty men we're called one by one
and examined but not one juror took his
seat. It was thought that the jury
would be completed with these twenty,

about Fargo has made it very difficult
to get one man who is not thoroughly
cognizant with the facts. The defense
yesterday exercised one more peremp-
tory, making thirteen in all for them.
The state did not exercise a one. 1t will
probably be some days before the jury
will be secured. Those that are now on
the jury feel this pressure greatly and
the judge is each day requested to let
someone of them off with a bailif,
Eleven jurors had been secured in the

oA~oo
The IOrbett concert company, which
presented a musical program at the Athe-
neum Monday night, is asuperior COM
bination, and they present as satisfactory
a program as it has been the good for
tune of a Bismarck audience to enjoy in
the city. The house was we'll filled, and
that the audience appreciated the efforts
Of the company was evident from the
unstInted and earnest applause which
followed each number, and the numer-
GUS encores which recalled the members
of the company after each selection.
Miss Torbett, the violinist, is certainly a
talented musician, whose soul is in
her art, and whose selections have the
evidences Of true genius. A graceful
and winning presence lends to the sue
cess she achieves, and her music is
graceful, expressive, and very pleasing.
The heartiness of the reception accorded
the young lady last night bespoke her
favor with the audience, whom she
charmed with the grace and pleasing
harmony Of her productions.
Her accompanied, Miss de Tersmeden,
is a pianist of pronounced ability, her
execution brilliant, her touch firm and
graceful, and her expression pleasing.
Her piano solos we're applaudlngly re-
ceived. The Lutheran sextette con
tributed the greater share of the selec-
ton, but over then the audience per-
sisted in an encore after each selection.
The voices Of the singers were rich,
full, blended perfectly, and their selec-
tions were received with the raptest of
attention and warmest Of applause.
English, German and Swedish ballads
made up their repertoire, in which was
not an unsatisfactory number from first
last.
Withal, the concert was high class in
every respect, and fully deserving of the
most cordial of reception everywhere.

The New Lodge.

The A. 0. wv. grand lodge was hard

posed of a large amount of routine work.
The committee on salaries recommended
that the salary of the grand recorder be
placed at 800 per month, and S25 addi-
tional for office rent and clerk hire, and
the grand master workman and grand
receiver at 500 for the balance of the
year. The committee report was adopted
and the appointment of DR.. Carpenter,
as grand medical examiner, was con-
frmed by the trustees.
When the grand lodge convened
Thursday afternoon the officers elected
in the morning we're installed and the
new grand lodge installed in due form.
The committee on constitution and by
laws rendered a report which was adopt
ed by the convention. A session was
held in the evening, before the banquet,
at which the terms of separation between
the North and South Dakota jurisdic-
tions were finally settled. The Dakota
Visitor was named as the official organ
of the North Dakota jurisdiction for the
ensuing year, and Messrs. Clemmer,

Smut in Wheat.
Farmers in Grand Forks county and
along the upper Red River valley are
alarmed owe the appearance of smut in
wheat. The Plaindealer says: Smut in
wheat is n of the main topics discussed
in the city, and considerable alarm is
felt over it's appearance in many sections
of the country. It is thought by many
to be more plentiful on the sandy soil in
the western part of the county than in
this vicinity. In appearance the smut
heads resemble those of wheat but in
height are about wo.thirds of the height
of wheat stalks only, and to discover them
in a wheat field a close investigation. IS
necessary. Theories advanced as to
what smut really is, and what produces
it, are numerous and varied. One of the
theories advanced is that it results from
the way wheat has stooled this year,
which is different than the stooling pro-
cess of any previous year in this coun-
try. A good many stalks have risen
from one kernel, and, failing of susie
nance, drop back and partly decay, and
this piece of abbreviated vegetation is
termed smut. 1t affects quality and
price. Whatever theory may be right, we
have it with us this year, and in larger
quantity than ever before.

owners, who have now two steeds each.
Not being gifted with the power of
speech, it is impossible to ascertain
where the wheels have been. It is barely
possible they have been to the Asbury
Park meet. on their own account, and
have just gotten back. Both were tired,
and from this it is argued they have
been a long distance. But the wheels
are silent upon the subject - neither
spoke of it-not a spoke.
The handles Of the Columbia were
gone, and the brand had been plucked
out. The front wheel was q little sprung,
but this is perhaps due to the fact that
it was taken in the height Of the spring
season. The cyclometer had run down,
and some OF the wind had been taken
from the tires. It will not be much
trouble, however, to wind them up again.
The owners, Notwithstanding these
little injuries, are glad to see the wheels
round again. Indeed, it is probable
they have been round all the time. There
is a slight defect in the rim of the
Columbia, but Mr.. Perkins said today
it wooden't matter.

should have been brought back to it's
" stall, but is not kicking. He would
be better pleased, however, the next
time it is borrowed, to know who has it,
and how long it is likely to be away.

That New Road.

Warden Wilson has had began prep
arations for the new road and driveway
to the ~penitentiary, mention of which
was made in the TRIBUNE of some weeks
ago.
City Surveyor Harold begun Friday
to lay out the route of the driveway.
The work of surveying begins at the
staga barn, thencein a straight line east,
to within a few hundred feet Of the Quin-
Ian farm, thence south several hundred
feet, and along the old road which trav-
erses the ~penitentiary grounds, to the
institution.
This improvement was provided for
by the last legislature assembly, which
made provision for the improvement of
the driveway to the %penitentiary by
means of convict labor, and moneys re-
celved from labor contracts lr force at
the institution. There is surplus labor
at the ~penitentiary which is now avail
able for the building of this road, and it

be put to work as soon as the necessary
preliminaries can be arranged.
The road is to be laid out as a continu-
alton of Main street, and will be eighty
feet in width, with the customary reser-
walton of ten feet on each side for walks.
It will be cleaned and smoothed and
builded sound and hard, making q much
improved route in every way. On each
side, the road will be fanked with trees
along it's entire length. The beauty of
this will be apparent when they shall
have begun to grow, and an idea can be
formed of the appearance Of the drive
by a view of the re ad along the pen
grounds, where the trees have all grown
and thrived, making an improvement in
appearance in every way admirable.
With the other general improvements
which have been made about the city
this new one will match we'll, and the
work will be pushed to completion.
