OUR TWO VIEWS OF RICHMOND.
The Confederate Capital In Ruins
and the Busy City of To-Day.

The two Illustrations used on this page
present a striking contrast between the
Richmond of April, 1865 af.d the Rich
mond Of 1896. The one represents the
the evacuation fire; the other gives an
intelligent idea of how the busy. growing,

Good Crops.

Through the kindness of L. c..
Spooner we enjoyed very pleasant
ride yesterday through some of the
best fields of grain we have
been fortunate enough to cast our eyes
over for some time. Wheat, oats and
flax were the principle crops, and the
equals of which will be hard to find
in the Northwest. The straw is
heavy and stands high and gives the
field fine appearance as the long
heads sway forward and back like
waves on turbulent lake. The
wheat will yield an abundant crop,
while the oats are simply enormous
and will go as high as 80 or 80 bush
els to the acre. The fax is equally
as good as the wheat and oats, and
will yield at least 25 bushels to the
acre. And the best of all, there is not
a speck of rust to be found on the
whole 500 acres. There is hardly a
doubt but what Stevens county will
produce as large, if not larger, crop
this year as last, if hail does not in
fere.

Pursuant to call for meeting Of
the Stevens County Democratic club
at Merchants Hotel last Saturday
evening there gathered together Dem
ocrats and Bryan men from all sec,
tons of the county and from every
nook in the city of Morris, 1t was
thought for while that a sad mistake
had been made in selecting the place
of the meeting as the capacity of
the dining-room would be in
adequate to accommodate the large
attendance, which for while prom
ised to fill every room in the house
However the line of men seeking ad-
mission soon ended and all were COM
fortably seated in the large and spa
cious room. The meeting was called
to order by the chairman and roll
call demanded, at the conclusion of
of which there we're found to be pres
ent nine Democrats, two free silverites
and one Republican. The club then
proceeded to business and the first
thing under discussion was name.
After discussing the matter pro and
con for some time it was finally de-
cided that Gin justice to the large num-
Der of free silverites presently the name
be changed to the Stevens County
Free Silver Club, which was also
thought would have a tendency, by
dropping that eye sore name, Demo-
cratic, to catch the Republican mem
bers who have leaning toward the
free coinage of silver. The rest of
the meeting was taken up in general
discussion and sociability, and all APP
parently enjoyed themselves to their
utmost, and especially the one lone
forlorn Republican, who is certainly
under obligations to the members
of the club for the royal entertainment
received at their hands. Owing to
the compact,crowd the air in the room
became very close and stagnant and
the club was compelled to adjourn
to an adjoining room where the invig-
Grating night air flowed "deliciously"
through their "whiskers" and revived

Morris takes two games from Moor
head,

head
The Morris ball club left for Moor
head Sunday night to take a whirl at
the Moorhead team, which is counted
one of the best in the state. The first
game was scheduled for Monday af-
ternoon, and our boys were feeling
none too good after their nights ride,
but they went in to win and did so by
score of z too. The first inning look
ed rather discouraging to our boys
when Moorhead run in three runs
through errors and i'll luck. But af-
ter that they pulled themselves to-
gether and got down to business, The
game was tied in the ninth inning
and Warner decided the game by a
making home run.
Yesterday the game was not SO
close, our boys winning by score of
g to 2. Both games were we'll played
and the results were eagerly sought
after by the home enthusiasts, all of
whom never forgot word of praise
for the BOYS on hearing the results.
They play today at Fargo and hard
game is anticipated, as Fargo has
very strong team.
Some of the exchanges seem to take
particular delight in rubbing it in on
umpire Gaffney of Norris at every
opportunity. Any fair minded per-
son who IS familiar with the national
game will concede after seeing Mr..
Gaffney umpire game of ball that
he is as square man as ever gave
decision. But of course these sore
heads must vent their spleen on some
body for past defeats at the hands of
the Morris ball tossers. 1t would be
better plan for these people to or
ganize ball team worthy of the name
which, by the way, they never did,
and get satisfaction on the diamond,
instead of resorting to dirt as they do.
