BIG WHEAT YIELD.
Minnesota and the Dakotas Will
Produce 100000 Bushels.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 15.-The
Journal today prints the annual crop
estimate of spring wheat for Minnesota
and the two Dakotas, made by its COM
mercial editor, H. V. Jones. Mr.. Jones
has for several years made a personal
inspection of the situation in all three
states and has been fortunate in ap-
proXimating the quantity and quality
of the yield very closely. He estimates
the yield this year for the three states
at 19O,0OO,00O bushels, as against $780,
900 in 1897. This is distributed as
follows: Minnesota yield. $4,000, 00O;
acreage, 100000; North Dakota, yield,
63, 800 900; acreage, 100000 South Da-
kota, yield, $4,000, 900; acreage, 5000, 900.
The average yield per acre shows less
increase, however, than the total yield
would indicate, because of an increase
acreage of about 2,000,000
A Bismarck On. ID special says that
the estimated loss of wheat by hail in
North Dakota this year is $4,000 acres
and as much more damaged 20 per cent.
One-third of these losses was in Walsh
county.

ROAD THROUGH THE MARSH.

A murderer fleeing adown the night,
60 the road through the marsh is
wild and wetD
His hands are red but his cheeks are
white,
And awful shapes in the gloom alright,
For the stars are few and the young
moon set,
He shivers and shrinks at the brier's
touch
'Tis the hand of fiend with its talon
clutch
And the cry of the wind is a blood
hounds bay;
And the low, black clouds fierce birds
of prey
The wild, weird plant of the whippoor-
Is a voice-that voice that he cannot
still
Far down in the north, beyond the frs,
The pickering CLEAN auroral stirs.
'Tis the sway of lantern forward and
back.
He stumbles-he falls-and his senses
swim,
The sinking sands are ingulfing himl
All pangs-all tortures, all fears he
hath
Yet the road through the marsh is a
pleasant PATH
A Pilgrim JOurneylnS DOWN the nlSHI,
% the road through the marsh is
green and deepD
One star looks out like a beacon light,
By this can he shape his course Alright
And about are the ferns and flowers
asleep,
How sweet their breath, in the dews of
even,
Like the incense cup of a soul forgivenl
Was that the whippoorwill's timid call?
How it blends with the breeze in the
tree tops tall
In the polar sky a soft light grows.
With the dawn's own semblance of
gold and rose.
What mean those beautiful, mystic
rites
In the astral deeps of the Summer
nights?
God knowsi And he kneels on the soft,
cool sod:
How good to leave the unknown with
God,
How good to feel when the way is dim,
That the road is safe if we keep with
Him,
o soft sweet musings our pilgrim hath,
For the road through the marsh is a
pleasant PATH

DESERTED THREE TIMES.
Fifteen Shots Fired at a Kansas
Volunteer.

Chickamauga, Aug. 15.-R. o. Fisher,
a private in company L, Twenty-first
Kansas, who deserted July II, and was
apprehended Aug. 4, deserted again this
morning and was arrested in Chatta-
nooga and brought back at o'clock
this evening. Tonight, at 1890, he again
deserted. On the way back from Chat
ianooga Fisher made several unsuc-
cessful attempts to escape.
Captain Grinstead had ordered that
he be put in chains, and the guards
had gone for the chains, when Fisher
made a break through the lines. The
officers of the guard ordered them to
shoot at Fisher, whereupon something
like 15 shots were fired, but the deserter
made good his escape. Captain Grin
stead offers S25 reward for his appre-
hension, and has detailed several men
to search the park tonight.
Fisher is from Harper, Kan, is a col
iege graduate and highly connected. He
was clerk at the canteen prior TO his
assertion, and is said to be $500 short
In his accounts.
The affair caused quite a commotion
in the Twenty-first Kansas, and it is
said Captain Grinstead is to be arrest
ed for ordering the guards TO shoot.
If Fisher is caught he will probably
do service in the penitentiary for a
number Of years.

ACTIVITY OF CARLISTS.
No Uprising Until Army Returns
From Cuba.

London. Aug. 1.-THE Daily Nails Bair-
ritz correspondent says:
The troops sent in pursuit of the band of
Carlists which appeared recently at Alcala
de Chiyert, in Valencia, failed to capture
the members of the band owing to the
completely of the inhabitants, who are all
Carlists, and feed and conceal the fugi-
tives and give their pursuers false infor-
nation.
The fact that all letters from Don Car
los are now taken into Spain by couriers
is regarded as proof that they contain or
ders to his followers and therefore must
not fall into the hands of the govern
ment. Carlist recruiting agents in several
parts of Spain are Offering men pesetas
a day. A Carlist colonel has been arrest
ed ct Barcelona.
Accounts sent to Spain by visitors to
Don Carlos at Luzerne have occasioned
the greatest alarm, and, despite public
declarati tons, it is clear that everything is
ready for Carlist uprising Immediately
upon peace negotiations. 1t is said Don
Carlos will wait for the return of the
army from Cuba before ordering an inSur-
rectfon, as he hopes the Cuban army will
return disconnected and ripe for revolu-
ton. Carlist agents have been working
in Cuba for months past

THINGS TO KNOW.

What is known in the Hood River vail
ley, Ore, as the Bib ditch, cost $4,000. and
this years crop of strawberries, blackber-
ries and other fruit in the valley will
bring enough money to pay for it. 1t was
constructed for the benefit of the fruit
growers, who are enabled thereby TO get
their products to market in greater bulk.
At the first Paris exposition in 179S there
were only 119 exhibitors; at the second, in
1901. there were I'D; at the fourth. in 1906
there were ,422. and at the eighth, in the
reign OF Louis Philippe, there were 2,247.
The first worlds fair in Paris was
in 1850. At the exposition of 1889 there
were 5S,4S6 exhibitors and 32,500.000 Wis
itors.
One of the Brooklyn roaes is expert

opened or closed by sliding DOORS The
car will seat so persons. The seats are

are of plate glass and very large.
Mortality among hospital nurses is
startling. 1t has been aScertained that a
healthy girl of II, devoting herself to hos
pital nursing. dies on an average q years
sooner than a girl of the same age NOV
ing among the general population. A hos
pital nurse at the age of % has the same
expectation of life as a person at the age
OF 5S in the ordinary community.
A faint idea may be formed of the ex-
tent to which Sebastopol was fired upon
by the allied armies and fieetts when it
is stated that from a tax of six pence per
hundredweight, which the Russian gov
eminent levied upon the proceeds of the
sales of old iron, shot and shell picked UP
and sold by the people, sum of nearly
f15,O00 was realized.
Turks make very poor miners, and
nearly all the mines in the Ottoman en-
pire are worked under concessions grant
ed by the government to foreigners.
French and English companies hold the
greater part of these privileges, for which
they pay high rates. Manganese ore is
the chief mineral product of Turkey, but
Ignite. boracide and copper are also found
in large quantities.
Malmsey, butt of which wine was Sc
lected by George of Clarence for his final
immersion, is now again used in France
for bathing purposes. 1t takes 100 quarts
of wine for a bath, the French character
of which is shown by the fact that the
wine is poured back into the barrel after
use and is employed over again for the
next bath. After 100 baths, according to
the London Daily Telegraph, the malmsey
is distilled, ''and the result is a delicious
brandy"

SPORTING NEWS.
GREAT FUTURITY RACE.
Richest American Stake Will Be Won
Next Tuesday.


New York, Aug. 15.-One week from
tomorrow the richest stake of the
American turf will be raced for at the
Sheepshead Bay track. On the form
of two-year-olds of the present season
most any horse eligible for the race
might be capable of beating the others
and the opportunity for a fluke is
seemingly such that many an owner
will be tempted to pay the $3.50 starting
fee for a horse that in an ordinary
year he would have in the barn.
That the Futurity field will number
20 or more appears certain. With that
number of starters the gross value of
the race will be a little less than $50
600. No horse Of proven greatness is
among the 1871 two-year-oldS eligible
for the race, and it is not probable
that any will appear. The last chance
for public trial of futurity colts will
be next Saturday, when the second
part of the Grand Union hotel stakes
Will be run at Saratoga. The result of
that race may show up new bidder
for the great race at Sheepshead Bay,
but it is not likely. Unfortunately the
best two-year-old of the season, Jean
Beraud, is not in the Futurity. Some
OF the best that are engaged are

MORE NURSES NEEDED.
Fine Opportunity For Red Cross
Work at Chickamauga.

Chickamauga, Aug. 15.-It is probable
that the Third division, First army
corps, ordered from Chickamauga to
Lexington, will get away Thursday and
Friday of this week. It is not known
when the Second division, First corps
will get away, as the camp at Knox
vile does not seem to be ready, and
General Mckee is looking for another
further up in East Tennessee.
The suggestions of the past few days
as to crowded and inadequate hospitals
at Camp Thomas are bearing fruit. I'M
provement can be noticed in all, and
that patients are receiving much better
attention.
There are number of patients whose
recovery is a bare possibility. The
surgeons are doing everything possible
for the suffering patients, but they need
more room and more help. There is
now an excellent opportunity for Red
Cross nurses and to refuse to admit
them is to commit a crime.
The First Vermont infantry, camped
here. was today ordered to Fort Ethan
Allen. Vt, and received its marching
orders at noon. The regiment will
probably leave here tomorrow. The
reason given for the change is the
Sickness prevailing. The orders came
R a surprise, as they were entirely
-UEeXpected.

SPANS EVIL GENIUS.
How Spaniards Now Regard Column
bus-Madrid Is Quiet.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Madrid CORES
pondent of the Times says:
The dominant tone Of the press COM
ment is philosophical resignation The
educated classes are not making any
attempt to find scapegoatS or to console
themselves with vituperation of the
victorious enemy. While severely crit
icising the short-sightedness and in
competence of the government, they
recognize that no one statesman or cab
met, but the nation itself, is to blame.
The colonies, instead of enriching, have
impoverished the country. Columbus,
in discovering the new world, was not
SPANS benefactor, but her evil genius.
Therefore, one leading paper opposes
the suggestion that his remains should
be brought home from Havana.
Madrid was never more quieter or or
derby. Similar tranquility prevails in
the provinces. Fortunately the harvest
everywhere is abundant. The alarm
lists now point to the dangers which
will arise from the return of the re-
patriated army; but the government
has taken ample precautiOn.

SUPPLIES FOR CUBANS.
Abundant Stores Available If They
Are Needed.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The subsist-
ence department of the army will have
plenty of supplies ready to forward to
Cuba in case it is found that the peo-
pie there must be supplied from the
United States. There are supplies at
Tampa and at many other points near
enough to the seaboard to load avail
able transports when information
reaches this government that they will
be needed. Since hostilities began no
information has reached this govern
ment concerning the reconcentrados or
any other portion of the people of
Cuba within the Spanish lines. That
they are destitute is inferred from the
conditions which existed previous TO
the war and which could not have been
relieved to any great extent since the
war began.
