The state commissioner Of agri-
culture reports that the estimate
Of IS, 100000 bushels of wheat for
the crop of North Dakota, as
figured by the crop expert Of the
Minneapolis Journal, is too high
by 100000 bushels. The aver
age yield of IA bushels per acre is
quite liberal for the entire state.
In the extreme northern and
southern parts Of the state the crop
is very light, the only instance of
heavy crop being in the Red River
Valley, outside Of which, through
the central part Of the0tate only a
fair average crop has been har-
vested. The Journals estimate
was based upon an acreage of A.
100000, which is nearly million
too large as the figures received
by the commissioner of agriculture
from the auditors of the various
counties, show total wheat
acreage Of 3,8l2,561. This at an
average yield of IA bushels would
give about 53,300,OO0, but q fur
Their allowance must be made for
the large area in different parts of
the state that has been hailed out
as we'll as the damage done by
gophers. These deductions will
easily bring the total crop of North
Dakota down to $4,000, 900 bushels.

MANY state papers are advertis-
ing extensively the fact that the
state board of equalization raised
the valuation of railroad property
but say nothing about the increase
in valuation farm stock, which
from the statement received by
the county auditor is quite visible
item in Cavalier county.

THERE is one crop that Dakota
farmers can we'll afford to avoid.
We mean tho crop of prevaricators
who travel in palace cars and look
through magnifying glasses, and
then tell how much moro they
know about acreage and yield than
the farmers themselves.

TInsT TENNEssETs CHAPLAIN.

Baptist and Refector.l
A soldier in the First Tennessee
Regiment, now on its way to the
Philippine Islands, wrote a friend
in Nashville, and his letter was pub
lished in the Nashville American Of
November22. Init he says: "The
new chaplain is peach Heplays
whist and other card games in the
officers state room from morning to
midnight, and indulges in such lit
tie profane words as BY God, etc. -
And again: "In the dining-room
the officers are still gambling, even
the chaplain, l saw him with a
stack that showed the successful
gamester. BY the way, heand Barr,
noncombatants, never leave their
quarters without first buckling on
their Colts"
The chaplain referred to, as is
known, is Rev. L. j. LELAND, a Bap-
tist minister. We hope the charges
against him are not true, but as
they have been publicly made they
are reflections not only on him but
on the Baptist denomination and
on the cause of Christ, and we dc
not hesitate to say that if the charg.
es are true Mr.. Leland is unworthy
of the sacred Office he has thus dis.
graced.
In thenameofthe Baptistsof Ten
nessee and in the name Of Christi
anity, we call upon Governor Taylor
to investigate these charges, and i
they are sustained to demand tn,
resignation of Mr.. LELAND, unless
he should express the deepest pen
itence for his conduct.

DULL DAY IN CARTER CASE.
Assistant Treasurer of United States Idan-
tifes Checks

Savannah, Jan, 13.-Tickets of ad-
mission were issued to the Carter
eourtmartial this morning. This was
done to keep out large crowd Of OBJ
jectiouable people who swsrmed iuto
the building an hour before the hour
arranged for the court to sit. When
it was found how large the crowd was
it was decided to issue tickets of ad-
mission. This was done and the crowd
was kept in check to certain degree.
Court convened at ! l O'Clock and ad-
iourned at 80 O'Clock. The session
was absolutely devoid of sensational
incident. There was little done ex
cept routine work.
C.N. Jordon, assistant treasurer of
the United States at New York, was
the first witness sworn. He was in
troduced solely for the purpose of
identifying certain checks sent by
Captain Carter to his office.
The attorneys for the accused showed
no interest in the reading of checks
until those paid within the past two
years were brought to Mr.. Jordan's at
tention. These were two checks for
1896 that aggregated $575,00O. These
were taken in hand by Captain Car
ter's attorneys and carefully scFuti-
nized. They were made payable to
the Atlantic Contracting company.
The checks have several Endorsements
on and counsel for the accused first
insisted upon having those identified,
but afterward decided not to do so.
The checks shown today were the
originals.
j. B. MGCarthy, an attache of the
United States engineers Office at
Washington, was placed on the stand
to identity several papers and con-
tracts from the department in Wash
ingtOn. He was given envelopes con-
taining the proposals and contracts
for work in different streams and
channels in Savannah and nearby
Among the papers identified were
those comprising the correspondence
regarding the Pauldlng case. The
charges against Captain Carter al
leges that he deceived the government
in this case.
