Grand Forks, N. ID, Aug. 4. 81 The
weekly crop report sent in by agents
of the Northern division Of the Great
Northern shows that the ,cond ftiops are
much better than was anticipated aft
er the heavy rains. In the vicinity Of
Argusville and Hardoow the most
damage was done by water, and the
yield Is reduced about one-half In
the vicinity Of Hamilton damage of at
least one third has been done by hail.
IN all sections the crop is reported up
TO the season and in many places it is
III advance. In most sections harvest
will not begin before the middle of the
moEth. The increased acreage along
this division is expected to bring the
yield almost up to that of 1895.
TIE state summer schools for teach
ers have opened at the state univer-
SHY, with nearly $50 teachers in at
tendance from the northern and west

A patent has been issued in the Uni
ted States for a novel process for water
proofing textile fabrics. In carrying
out the process the fabric to be treated
is wetted with water and placed be-
tween sheets or rollers. One of these
sheets or rollers, which is preferably
Of tin or aluminium, is connected to the
positive pole of an electric generator
ard the other sheet or roller to the
negative pole. BY employing such
dissolving positive electrode and pass
ing current through the wet fabric the
fbres are made water-repellent. The
inventor states that the waterproofing
is due to the formation on the positive
conductor of a metallic oxide of some
kind, produced by the liberation OF
nascent oxygen on the positive conduc-
tor, due to the electrolytic action of the
current on the water with which the
goods are saturated, and which oxide
enters in the fibres of the goods
aided by the current, and prob
ably is combined partly chemically and
partly mechanically with the fibres,
making the same waterproof by the
presence of the oxide in or on the fibre.
The strength of the current applied
depends upon the character of goods
submitted to treatment, but care must
be taken not to carry the process too
far. The nascent hydrogen on the neg
alive side will, if the time Of treatment
is too long, accumulate and then begin
10 act as a reducing agent, and in case
the period of treatment is prolonged
beyond the proper time, then the
nascent hydrogen will reduce the oxide
of the metal in the goods to the me-
tallic state, and the combination or
union of the oxide with the fibres will
be destroyed by the reduction CT the
oxide to a metallic state. The process
is said to have the great merit of max
ing the individual fibres and threads
water-repellent, while the pores of the
goods are in no way stopped up or
closed. Consequently, if used on cloth
ing i. would not prevent evaporation
taking place through the interstices be.

Good government in cities is made
ol1flcrlt, not alone by lack of con-
science, but also by lack of wisdom.
Writing of the city of Brooklyn, a cor
respondent of the New York Witness
says that when the thieves are in
power the people are swindled: and
win only one exception, when the re-
formers have been put in power, mat
tiers have been no better, and in some
cases worse The exception, doubt
less, refers to the mayorality of Seth
Low, man of clear sense and great
ability, now president of Columbia uni
verslty, New York. The study of mum
icipal problems has been entered upon
by many of the best citizens, and none
too soon. Folly may be as costly as
knavery.

ROVER to BE Generated on the Spear
fish for Black Hills Mines.
Rapid City, S. D., Aug. Attention
was made a short time ago of the con-
templated use of Spearfish river for
generating power on mammoth scale.
The plan is about to mature. George
Brettell, manager of the Rochester
Greenback Mining company of Lead,
has begun the erection of a saw mill
at the mouth of Annie creek, on the
Spearfish, for the purpose of getting
lumber for the power house and the
fumes. The present plan is to erect a
800 horsepower plan this fall, and the
electricity will be transmitted to the
Bald Mountain county and to Lead. 1t
is the plan to eventually increase the
power to 1,20O-horse-power. A saving
OF 80 per cent will be made by the use
of this power. With the Introduction
of cheaper power, into mining business,
ores that have heretofore been un-
profitable to work can be placed upon
the market at profit.

A singular Tale Brought Ont In the
Dudley Divorce Case.

The divorce court was running a double
ender yesterday. While Judge Jacobs was
engaged IN hearing innumerabia witnesses

bling in the Carpenter household, Judge
Benson was listening to Sidney V. Dud-
ley a musician. tell q story OF feminine
duplicity with quite a romantic iinge.
The papers In suit for divorce brought
by Dudley aSains, his wife, Minnie q.
Conway Sharon Dudley, were filed late in
the afternoon by Dudley's attorney. and
as soon as they had passed through a
brief scrutiny in the clerks Office they
were taken into Judge Benson's court.
The complaint was brief. the plaintiff
simply alleging that at the time he and
Minnie We're united in marriage in this
city. March s. 1885, she had a husband al
ready living. William Sharon, OF Port
land. and from whom she had never been
granted a divorce. After taking the
stand. Dudley swore tina, ne learned of his
wife's secret two years after they were
married His suspicious had been aroused
by information placed in his possession,
and finally his wife confessed She had not
seen her husband for some years. but
there was 10 particular reason for sup
posing him dead
". F. Richardson, friend of Dudley.
swore that Mrs. Dudley had confessed
that she had a husband living when she
married Dudley, and asked him what she
had better do He told her to make a
clean breast of II.
This was all the testimony. After Dep
uty Prosecuting Attorney Hart had made
a brief argument in behalf of the state. the
court said that he did not believe there
was coliusion. and granted the decree.
