Got a Dakota Deal.

An elderly lady recently came from
the east &c look after some property
near Fargo. The land in question,
5000 acres, was put into the hands
OF a legal firm and real estate dealer
Of Fargo TO manage jointly, says the
Forum. She wrote quite often to
have the land sold but was told that
the land was valueless except to rent
for the taxes. She spoke recently OF
coming out to have the land broken,
but was told that it was Of little use
aud that the firm would see that the
land would be broken this fall if she
wished.
She came to Fargo and in spite Of
the efforts Of the firm to prevent her
went out to the farm. Upon reaching
the farm she was surprised to find
that the land was all broken up and
had been under cultivation for years.
The attorney and real estate dealer
had been reaping the benefits. She
has seized the present crop and will
compel the fellows who have been
swindling her to dig up seven years
back rent.

An eminent authority states that

It must be equally true that you can't

fed. "What shall we eat" is a ques-
ton that arises three time each day,
36s days Of each year with unfailing

pends the "weal and woe" Of our ex-

CREDITOR NATION.
The U. s. Now Loaning Millions
Of Dollars to Europe.
Excess of Exports in August
Amounted to SIS, 900, 900.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Govern.
ment reports indicate a great growth
in our export trade during August,
the dullest month in the business
year. These reports show that the
excess of imports in August was $35,.
ooo,o 700.
A most amazing fact relating to
our foreign commerce, however, is
that we are now a creditor nation,
having loaned many million of
American dollars to Europeans.
It is not possible for the govern
ment or for any of the banking as.
sociations to prepare any report
which would show how much money
we have been loaning to Europe.
The government can only tell us how
much our exports exceed our imports.
The August report shows that in
manufactured articles we have ex-
ported nearly $35,ooo,ooo worth of
products more than we imported of
the products Of other manufacturing
articles.
The government exports can tell
us how much gold has been sent to
us, and more will be reported for
September. But the government and
clearinghouse association are unable
to make any report which would tell
the story of the leaning Of American
capital in Europe. Nobody can say
exactly how much has, within few
month, been loaned in London or ON
the continent by American capitalists
1t is possible only to get an approxi-
nation and that is obtained when
those who have thus loaned get to-
gether SO that they may obtain
some idea of the aggregate amount of
money which Europe has borrowed
of us. It is not the banks with one
or two exceptions, but it is the bank
ing houses. private bankers, that
makes these loans. They discovered
on comparison Of notes that not
far from S75,ooo,ooo of American
money has been loaned since spring
in London and the continent, and
those loans do not represent the
trade balances, or any part cf them,
which Europe owes us. They repre-
sent out and out borrowings. Europe
came to New York and in some
measure to Chicago and to Boston
q nd asked for loans ofmoney and got
them.

ICE CLEAR AND THICK.
Large Crop of Splendid Quality To Be
Harvested on the Penobscot.

Bangor, January 23.-An indications
point to one of the best and largest crops
of ice eY er harvested on the Penobscot
river, although the cost of harvesting
will be greater than usual. The freeze
is perfect from Bangor bridge to Hamp.
den, and except where, during warm
early in the winter, the ice broke of
leaving clear water, the thickness is up
to the usual standard. The lower fields
show thickness of 8 to IL inches. while
further up in the neighborhood of High
Head and above there is IA to 16 inches
of the clearest and cleanest ice ever seen
ON this river.
There have been frequent snow storms
since the freeze came and the cost of
scraping the fields has been greater than,
for some years. One fall of snow has
scarcely been cleared away when another
has arrived, SO that large crews have
been almost constantly at work. Several
time within week the fields have
been scraped and now the storm of Sat
urday night and Sunday has piled the ice
deeper than ever. Men and horses were
set at work on Sunday forenoon scraping
but the snow drifted SO fast that work
was stopped at noon. 1t will take a day
or Two to remove the snow now covering
the fields.
Up to this time only three concerns
have begun harvesting, E. II. & H.Rollins
E. & I. K. Stetson and the Mutual Ice
company. Rollins and Stetson have been
getting IA and Is inch ice and the Mu-
tual, which occupies the Smith houses. a
little thicker. All concerns on the river
except the Consolidated are scraping and
in few days the work of cutting and
harvesting will begin at all points.
A total 100000 tons is considered to
be close estimate Of the capacity of
the river. The Katahhdin Ice Com
pany, whose main houses were burned
some years ago, have a 5000 ton house
still standing near by, but will not fill it.
The Mutual Ice Company, cuts for local
trade, accordingly these houses are not
included in the capacity estimated.
There were on hand at the beginning
of the last shipping season, $4,000 tons
of ice, including 40, 1000 tons of old stock.
Of that supply there is now on hand
"a, 200 tons as follows: Consolidated
Company, $4,000 tons; Sterns Lumber
Co., 5000; E. & J. Webster, 5000; Union
Ice Co., 1000; E. & I. K. Stetson, 1900.
Several hundred men and 125 horses
are now employed in scraping
and when the harvest begins there will
be about 1900 men at work. The wages
range from 80 cents to $1.25 day for
men, $3.50 day for a man and pair of
horses. 1t is estimated that it will cost
$4,000 to harvest the crop.

council Of the national mule spinners'
union, held in Boston.
Secretary Ross Of the local union, who
is also secretary of the national union,
said on his return to this city that the
national executive committee did not re-
tract from their position adopted at the
last meeting, Of keeping the strike cen.
| tered In one place as much as possible.
10 this end it was decided to refuse
permission to strike to the King Philip
| spinners, who are now out in Fall River,
thereby withdrawing the sanction of the
national body to their action. In the
cases of the spinners of Lewiston, Bruns-
wick and Biddeford, now on strike, it
was decided to exempt them from the
levy placed upon all union members for
the support of the strikers in New Bed
ford.
Secretary Ross is in receipt of offers to
aid the strikers from Lowell and other
places. At Lowell, subscription paper
has been started by the Lowell Sun, and
tine amount subscribed is considerable.
From a shop in this city, not connected
with the textile industry, Mr.. Ross has
been informed that the workmen en-
ployed there will contribute. $50 to the
strike fund weekly as long as the strike
lasts. The committee on the general
strike committee composed Of represen-
tatives of the various unions, will begin
work tomorrow to solicit funds for the
strike. Credentials stamped with the
official marks of the union, have been
supplied to the members Of the commit
tes. All funds received by them will be
devoted to the benefit of all the strikers,
union and non-union alike, each receiv
ing per capita share.
The open air meetings under the aus
pice of the general committee, will begin
Monday afternoon, the first meeting to
be held at South Park. Representatives
Of the international cigar makers union
and Minnie Rosen, representing the gar
ment workers union of New York, will
