Of an estimated yield of from 26,OO0,-

now calculated that only about s,o0o,-

almost despair of saving the balance of

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Disease Among Hogs.

A disease that has been prevailing
among the hogs in the vicinity of Lang
don for the past five or six months has
resulted in the death of hundreds of
the animals, and everyone is at loss
to understand whether it is hog cholera
or not; some reason that it is not, as
hardly two animals are afflicted in the
same manner. Several parties have
lost over 100 head each, and great
many their entire herds. Farmers in
that locality have always engaged ex-
tensively in swine raising, many hav-
ing valuable blooded stock, and it is
considered an enormous loss to them,
as it will be some time before they will
care to invest in any more pigs. With
the exception of three or four farms,
where the disease has not struck yet,
every hog is gone.

SHE WANTED THE SEAT.
One of Those Incidents That Makes
Travelling on the Railroad
Interesting.

"That's my seat, and you've got to
give it to mel"
The speaker was woman in Den
yer &. Rio Grande train that had just
pulled out of Colorado Springs toward
Denver few days ago. She spoke to
q neatly-dressed lady who sat gazing
at the mountains in the distance with
an air of interest that betokened her
eastern blood. The lady to whom the
remark was addressed paid no atten-
tion-she really was unaware that she
had been spoken to.
81 say, that's my seat, and Iwant it."
said the woman who stood up. This
time her tone was louder and more
commanding.
The other lady drew her head in the
window, and, adjusting her glasses, in
CURED in a modest manner if she had
been addressed.
you bet" said the other; Il said
that seat was taken"
An expression of combined amuse-
ment and Indignation crept over the
well-cut features of the eastern lady,
and she said: 81 think you are mis-
taken; there was no one and no bag
gage here when 1 entered the car"
With this she turned and refused to
heed the further remarks of the wom-
an in the aisle. All of the passengers
had turned their attention to the rude
manner of the woman who was after
the seat, and some sneered while
others snickered.
She sat down uncomforta bly, close to
the lady who had the seat and patted
her foot impatiently.
Suddenly she jumped up and seized
a hand bag that belonged to the lady
and strutted to the other end of the
car with it. She was disappointed,
however, for the owner of the bag
failed to follow it and vacate the seat,
as was the desire of the other party,
and a kindly passenger In the front
end of the car took charge of the bag
and preserved it for it's owner.
This Infatuated the rude woman.
Walking back to the seat she had COW
eted for the last half hour without
any Just claim whatever to it, she
Topped down in the lap of the eastern
lady and sat there.
The lady on the seat was in diem
ma she knew not how to avoid with
out allowing herself to be imposed on.
"What claim have you to this seat?'
she asked, looking up at the big, red
faced woman, who seemed as if she
weighed ton.
81 saw this seat as / came down the
platform and chose to occupy it, but
when I came in you were in it. had
my eye on it first and 1 am going to
have it if 1 fight for it,"
"All right, lady (emphasized), just
get off my lap and I will let you have
the seat"
"Sure you won't get it again if get
up? I've got to get out at Palmer Lake
and meet my sister, and she will want
the Other half" said the essence of
rudenes shaking her greasy finger
uncomfor tably close to the nose of the
woman she was sitting on.
''I'll not only agree to leave you the
seat, but will be pleased to ride in the
next car as long as you are in here"
was the reply, and the red-faced WON
an got up to allow her victim to arise,
even then with an air that betrayed
her uneasiness lest she should have to
sit on the lady again to get possession
of the seat.-Denver Times.
