Clausen baked, however, and admitted
that the "satisfaction'' of the grain

short of Divine Providence, was, in his
belief, visionary, but that Mr. Reishus

isfactiOn generally
Chief Deputy Grain Inspector Knatvold
also denies the story published in Re
publican papers to the effect that two of
the deputy grain inspectors lowered the
grade of two cars of wheat one grade
because the sample man would not tell
them where it was billed from.
Mr.. knatVold says the two inspectors
are the oldest and most reliable on the
force, and that the truth of the case is
far. different from the account given in
the evening paper. According to the chief
deputy, the two inspectors were inspect
ing cars from each end of train. One
inspector graded two cars No 2 and the
other graded three of the train No. g.
When they met they talked the MATES
over, and the one that graded the wheat
No. Convinced his ftN-ow that the other
was the same grade. Some discussion
arose between the inspectors and the
sample men as to whether or not the
wheat came from an elevator. They had
few rather warm words and separated.
The firm to whom the grain belonged
appealed the inspection and the grade
was raised. Mr.. Knatvold states that
there was no i'll feeling, and that the
sample man was sent by his firm to make
an apology.

DEADWOOD PEOPLE REJOICE.
Destruction of Gem Theater, Long a
Menace, Well Received.

DEADWOOD, S. D., Dec. 22.-(Specia1)
The destruction of the Gem theater is
being hailed with delight by the best
citizens of the place. For many years
1t has been one of the most notorious
dives on the continent and the ruination
or many. 1t has reputation far and
wide and gave the town a very bad
name. The fire was incendiary, it is
claimed.
In May, 1876 freighter named Al
SWearingen, who is still a resident Of
Deadwood, came into town, with his wife
and erected a dance han, constructed OF
canvas and lumber. There were but
three women available in the camp, ono
Of them being the notorious Calamity
Jane; another famous character, named
Kitty Arnold. and the wife of Swearin-
gen. Everything was run on the wide
open plan. The proprietor of the hall
! wanted another female to carry on the
| increased business, SO he dressed up a
young lad in feminine attire, clipped the
| boys head the fashionable clip and so
we'll did he practice the deception that
his admirers We're more numerous than
the real thing. In~the fall of the same
year the old canvas shack was torn
away and substantial building erected
instead. In the following year an addi-
ton was built at the rear of the building,
anu the HIot thedleI III Tie HlStoly ok
the Black Hills was opened. The first
exhibition was on Christmas night and
the crowd was so great at the doors that
many had to be turned away. The re-
ceipts Of the first night were S1,512. so.
] Seats on the first floor sold for 81, and
in the galleries they were at a premium
of 81. Beer sold for 81 a bottle and wine

rency, and all that night two men were
kept busy Weighing the Dust out III
scales
The building was destroyed by fire in
! 1879, but it was Immediately rebuilt by
Swearingen, much after the pattern of

SOIL And CLIMATE.
Their Remarkable Effect On
Fruits, Vegetables and
Grains.

Soil and climate have every thing to do
with the quality of fruits, vegetables and
grains. We all appreciate this fact when
we think Of coffee, of tobacco of oranges,
pineapples, celery, etc, but it is not gen.
orally known that there is fully as much
difference in the wheat from which our
flour is made.
1t is a fact, however. that there is but
one section of the whole world which pro-
duces the best and most nourishing
wheat. This region is the Red river val
ley of Northern Minnesota and North
Dakota. The greater portion of the en-
tire crop OF this section is used annually
by the Washburn-Crosby Company, Of
Minneapolis, in the manufacture of their
Gold Medal Flour. of which over 5000, 600
barrels are sold yearly.

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 22.-Local man
ayers of the whaleback fleet of vessels

GERS of Pickands, Mather & Co., at that
point, but 1t is believed now that the
whole crew has taken the train for Cleve-
land. The captain of the Colgate Hoyt

noon, has made a statement of his search
He said he believed the barge had gone
ashore on one of the many islands: along
the north shore of Lake Superior, and
started to cruise around, making inquiries
on each. He arrived at Pic island. when
he heard that the barge was ashore,
there and that the crew had been ashore
several days, and then turned back to
Sault Ste. Marie. His report to the COM
pany was made at the same time that
the report of Capt. Boice, of the m;ssina.
barge, was sent in. The preliminary re-
port of Capt. Boice says they wandered
IN the wild country along the shore .
Lake superior for some time before they
came to place where they could notify
headquarters. There were nine members
or the crew Of the barge, and all are
saved. They lived nine days on two davst
