Told by the ThreAherA.

Lisbon, n. D.-Threshing machines,
which are now pounding out thousands
Of bushels of grain per day In this vi
cinity, are verifying the optimistic
forecasts of the farmers. One farmer,
who expected twenty bushels per acre,
got twenty-six. Another had. on a few
acres, a yield of thirty-ive bushels, and
one reports still higher figures. Jacob
Walters, a farmer near Buttzville, on
Tuesday finished threshing 1S9 acres
of wheat. averaging twenty-six and a
half bushels per acre. Barley Is yield
ing exceedingly well and so Is oats. In
some scattered fields smut is reported,
which lowers the grade somewhat; but
it is not thought that wheat generally
is thus affected. 1t certainly Is not in
the vicinity of Lisbon. The wheat Is
generally plump and rich In color, and
much OF 1t grades No. l hard. A farm
err near Lisbon named Goode, had a
field of wheat, which, when threshed
out. not only graded No. l hard. but
weighed, when tested. sixty-one pounds
per bushel. All harvesting Is done ex-
cept cutting fax, and everything has
been secured In splendid condition.
Corn is the best In many years.
That the favorable yield Of all crops
in Ransom county is having a bench
cial effect on the price Of land has al
ready been exempliied in many in
stances. A recent instance of this kind
Is that of Ever Gullickson, a small
farmer near Enderlin, who was offered
s2.IOO for his 160-acre farm, that could
have been bought a year ago for
81 1000 less, which was refused. In
quiries for land are springing UP every
day. and many intending settlers from
points further east are catching n
In liberal numbers.

Spanish Conservative View.

Madrid, Aug. 2.-Senor Silyela, the
leader of the Conservatives, expresses
the views of that party on the capture
of Manila In the following statement:
"The capture of Manila in no wise
affects the rest Of the archipelago, and
the cortes should be summoned with
rgency to prevent the world gaining
the impression that Spain has lost her
sovereignty in the Philippines. The
Liberal party should conclude peace,
but the Sagasta cabinet cannot effect
the task"
If the queen regent tenders him an
invitation Senior Silyela is disposed 10
accept the office.

pine group IL is hard to see how any
other power could legitimately inter-
fere. IL the United States repudiates
such a responsibility a very perilous
state of things might ensue, because it
would not be easy to dispute the right
of other powers to terminate the state
of anarchy. Therefore, many difficult
ties will be avoided by American an
nexation. In any case no European
power need reckon upon finding the
