teresting Problem.

This is a misstatement. I have never

Usher for "Ships That Pass In the
Night" One hundred and fifty dollars
is all that I have had from beginning

given me in order to secur my volume

honorarium at all, but q business ar

the State Fair at Sioux Falls and Messrs.
Kelley and Harris OF Aberdeen, men,
of the state fair board, are placed in a
a very awkward position. or course
the change is none of their doings and
they are very much incensed at the

piece Of business and is characteristic
OF Aberdeen in matters OF this kind.
Whatever Aberdeen does b. herself, she
does on a grand and successful scale,
but whenever she comes in contact with
the rest Of the state, her dlspositisn is to

BEATS AL
Tho Importance of tho Great Corn Crop
OF 1895.

of 1895.
From IL speculative standpoint the
great corn crop CT 1895 is full of sig
nificance. 1t means, rs nothing else does,
prosperity for the railroads, and more
particularly for those roads which will
have the initial haul of it and its prod
ucts. The corn crop promises to be the
largest on record.
The estimated yield is 1850, 900, 900
bushels. There has been no crop ap-
preaching the present Il in extent since
1891, when the production was 2,OGO,-
l54, 600 Bushels. The crops in the inter
vening years were l,G2S, AGA, 900 bush
els in 1892, 1,6l9,496, 600 in 1898 and
1912, no, 900 in 1894.
Calculating that farmers will receive
80 cents a bushel for their corn, or an
e~quivalen, s1m for the cattle and hogs
which are t.Itened on it, the value to
them of tie crop of 1895 foots up the
vast figure of $7O5, 600, GOO.
Reckoning the population of the Unit
ed States at 20, 200, 600, the value of
the corr crop before leaving the farmers
hands is equal to $40 for every inhabit-
ant of the country. Allowing four per,
son to a family, the value is equal to
$40 for each family.
The railroads will receive an average
Of about 20 cents a bushel for trans
porting the corn or the equivalent OF
that sun for carrying the products OF
corn, and their revenue from the crop
Of 1895 will therefore be $40, 900, 600.
Figuring the cos of handling the
crop at 20 per cent of the rates charged,
the net income of the roads from it will
be $l4l, 900, 900, which is equal to
per cent on a stock and bonded indebt,

REPORT OF AN ARMY OFFICER.
Failure to Right the Wrong
May Result in Serious
Loss of Life.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia report
sent to the war department by Cap
tain ]. r. Van Ersdale of the Seventh
infantry, late acting agent at the Fort
Hall Indian reservation, on the subject
Of the trouble with the Bannock In
dams, has been forwarded to the secre-
tary of the interior. The report says
in part:
Being short rationed and far from

the purpose OF obtaining s~ustenance.
By treaty they are granted this priv
ilege. 1t would seem that the killing
Of these Indians under the circum.
stances is nothing more or less
than murder. Further, I be-
lieve that there is no wanton
slaughter of game BY them, while it is
a notorious fact that hundreds of ami.
mails are killed by white men for moth
ing more than heads and horns. The
Indians can hardly be expected to sub.
NIT to the killing of their people while
engaged in an occupation which they
think they have a right to follow, and
failure by the government to take
proper action is apt to result in serious
loss of life and property.

is, while in London telephoning is gen.
orally a most exasperatiDg operation. A
striking piece Of evidence on this point
is afforded by tho fact that it is we'll
nigh impossible to telephone from Paris
to any given subscriber in London, and
that before tile instrument could be of
any practical use for long messages the
two great foreign news agencies-Dal-

have special wires laid underground to
their offices from st. Martin le Grand.

will sail in the cup races the Defender
could beat the Vigilant eight minutes.
This is $50 seconds. The building and
handling of the Defender will represent
when the season is over an outlay of
about $500, 600. Thus each second of
time that Defender can beat Vigilant
has been paid for at the rate of $500.
Truly, time is getting to be exceedingly
valuable. After the international race,
if Defender were put upon the market,
