LEEDS ALL STATES.

North Dakota the Greatest Flax Pro.
ducer in the Country.
Milton Globe:
North Dakota leads all states in the
production of flax seed this year, pro-
ducing 100000 bushels. Minnesota
comes second with q product of $780,
OC0. The entire product of the United
States is 10000. 600 bushels, SO that it
will be seen that North Dakota pro-
duces nearly one third Of the entire
product Of the country, and fax pro-
duction is only in the 'infantile stage
in this state, scarcely a bushel having
been sown here prior to 1883. This
year as in many former years flax is
the most profitable crop harvested, as
the yield is large and the price high.

According to Washington special
telegram to Fargo, the officers of the
land office at Grand Forks, Ernie Kent
and G. L. Lindstrom, will have some
explaining to do to the department, II
nothing worse follows the indiscretions
which have resulted from their enthus-
iasm for the election of Congressman
johnson to the senate. Inspector
Greene happened in at the land Office
not long ago and found both officers
away-it is said at st. Paul where they
were booming johnson with the Great
Northern-and clerk left to sign the
names Of the officers to official do
Notwithstanding directly against
the rules. The clerk was discharged
and the officials have been suspended
pending an investigation by the de-
partment. It is stated further that
Congressman Johnson's Indignation
at this treatment of his favorites is in
tense and that he is active before the
department to protect them, although
the reports Of inspectors are usually
made carefully and with knowledge
of all the circumstances and the de.
partment is guided largely by them in
arriving at conclusions.

August Flower.

"lt is surprising fact" says Prof.
Houton, "that in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years, have met more people having
used Green's August Flower than any
other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged
liver and stomach, and for constipa-
ton. I find for tourists and sslesmen,
or for persons filling office positions,
where headaches and general bad
feelings from irregular habits exist,
that Green's August Flower is q grand
remedy. 1t does not injure the system
by frequent use, and is excellent for
sour stomachs and indigestion" Sam

 This morning a tramp presented himself at the Office cafe for some thing to eat. MT. Richards asked him if he would work. He said he would, so MT. Richards had him carry in a l few armfuls of wood while he fried him a steak. The guest did justice to the spread and after thus nourishing his wasted quantities he went to work 1 chopping wood to pay for his meal. MT. Richards smiled complacently at i the prospect of an honest traveller. | But while he was smiling the tramp was rapidly measuring the distance around the corner. The restaura- ] teur thought the measurement to be 1 incorrect, so he stepped off the dis | tance around the corner himself He could not induce the tramp to measure the distance, that gentleman being highly indignant that his civil en- gineering should be questioned at all 1 Not wishing to discuss the matter, MT Richards went back to cuss the matter over a burning steak.
