Berlin, Sept. 16.-Though the Govern
mcnt has taken pains to preserve It's
equilibrium, the result of the Dreyfus
trial has tremendously shocked the
German people. irrespective Of creed
and politics. The bitter insult implied
by the total disregard on the part of
the Rennes court OF the official Reich
sanzeiger.s declaration OF Dreyfus' in
nocence Is deeply felt here. Owing to
the peculiar relations with France,
these sentiments have not found full
vent in the press and the Government
organs have even done their best to
smother them, but, in conversation, the
real feelings of the people. Indignation
and almost contempt are universally
and freely expressed. A small major
ity. composed OF anti-Semites and some
AgrarianS and Conservatives, more or
less approved the sentence. The lam
burger Nachrlchten, formerly the late
Prince BismarclSS organ, made itself
theft mouth piece, asserting repeatedly
that the evidence against Dreyfus this
time was no more than had previously
been made public and that Dreyfus had
been convicted not for spying for Ger
many, but for Russia, citing u mass OF
alleged evidence in support OF THIS as
sertion When these were disputed and
ridiculed by the bulk OF the press, the

Whenever you put capital upon al.

THE GOVERNMENT NOT SUR

The correspondent here OF the Asso,

The Government was not surprised

ReichsanZeiger publication was large
~ for the purpose of depriving the
world or the chance of saying Dreyfus

many kept silent. We postponed the
publication until the last moment, as
we, suspected 1t might hurt rather than
benefit the accused.
Regarding the assertions of the

Col. Robert Ingersoll's death has
caused large amount of religious dis
cussion in the newspapers. Col. Inger-
soils religion, or want Of religion, was a
matter of his own belief and conviction.
He alone has to answer for his errors.
The real fault; the real wrong to human
ity, and of which humanity has the right
to complain, is that Col. Ingersoll was
not satisfied with his own disbelief, but
tried with his magnificent talents to
shake the faith of others who were hon.
est and happy in their beliefs.
The "Sign of the Cross" is plainly
marked on every shining cloud above the
paths of civilization and progress. In
gersoll said this was delusion, but gave
no other sign by which to conquer. Il
he was right, in this at least he was
wrong. A world without faith and hope
even if illusory, would be hopless ane
miserable world; and, if Ingersoll himsel
had lived in the sort of world he sough
to create, he would have been of all mer
one Of the most miserable, and all The
more SO because he himself was one, who
though mistaken, really loved his fellow
men.

Hoboes are reported as scarce, and
from the present outlook, farmers are
likely to be short Of help, and wages
high in the harvest this year. There are
various causes for this scarcity. A new
law makes riding on railroad freight
trains without the formality of paying
ing fare, misdemeanor. The wages
tor two or three years back have been
too low to be very attractive, and in
many localities too many men have been
looking for work, making the supply
greater than the demand. But above all
these is the fact that employment at good
wages is available almost anywhere in
these comparatively prosperous times.
Mills, mines, factories and other hives of
industry are running on full time.

The violence of the hail and wind was
such that in the path of the storm the de-

The present storm was remarkable for
the width ofits destructive path. Few
hail storms cover more than a mile. and
TWO miles wide is extraordinary, but this
storm had an average width of at least
lour miles over stretch OF country at
least thirty miles in length, and then
crossing the Red River went east to
Stephen twenty miles farther, CARRYING
similar destruction in its track.

Any one can change them according 10

about two miles north of Glasston. OIL
course this represents the general direc-
ton. The actual border lines of damage
are crooked and vary mile or more
from the direct line in places. With but
little exception all crops within these
lines are hailed out and where there are
exceptions, there is sufficient destroyed
outside to make up the difference.
The Walhalla Mountaineer says, "On
Monday afternoon heavy rain with a
little hail but no damage to crops" So
from that it would seem that the violence
Of the storm began few miles south
west Of Walhalla and near Backoo.
Walsh and Grand Forks counties also
suffered from hail storms at about the
same time Monday and the storms cross

counties across in Minnesota. And we

done by hail in the valley on Monday
than ever before in one day.
