south Dakota Grain Damaged.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. IA severe hail
storm swept across the northern part of
Cass and the southern part of Trail coun-
ties today. Sixty thousand acres of ripe
grain were destroyed. Only small per-
centage in the storm area had been har-
vested. 1t is reported that 10000 acres
were destroyed in Eddy county. Passing
to the east through Norman county, thou
sands of acres of grain were damaged by
the storm.
At Gardiner, in this county, the path OF
the storm was 10 to II miles wide. Hal
stead, Mimi, reports the crop totally de-
stroyed. At Grandin 70 to 100 per cent

farm of 10000 acres in Trail county was
struck and the crop totally destroyed.

be hundred thousand in North Dakota

Fought with the Yaquis.

Chicago, Aug. IA special from the
City of Mexico says:
The state troops have had another en-
counter with the Yaquis near Medano, de-
feating them with loss of several killed.
The state troops did not lose a man, but
Lieutenant Francisco Gales died from sun
stroke during the forced march made to
overtake the Indians
Further details have been received of
the attack of the sloops Alonda and Tulsa
near Medano, when young Aurelio Pare
dez was killed. The Indians captured
the wife of the captain of the Alondra
and two boys and took them off with
them. At their first camp they tied up
and fogged the woman to try to get in
formation of the forces and number OF
men at Medano, and then turned all three
loose in the brush.
The Indians have retired from Bacum
and are supposed to be in force near Vi
cam.
The death of Juan Matheldo, of Tetabi.
ate, has been confirmed.
The Indians will be shortly attacked
near Vicam.

cent. interest, which is about $115.
From the start they participate in the
earnings of the Institution, and when
they have paid in the $115 and their
borrowed capital they find they have
an earning of about $75, which leaves
| them only $40 out in interest.
The people are unusually Industrious,
and a person entering the city during
working hours would readily mistake
It for the deadest town on earth. No
pne can be seen on the street Every
child, as well as every adult, has duties
/ to perform, and loafers are not toler-
ated. Stores might as well close from
Is to 11:3O and from l until 6. But
when the whistles blow there is q
! transformation. Almost instantly the
streets are crowded with people hur-
rying to their homes or to their eating
places. All of the business of the town
is done at night.
The people are frugal and saving. but
their frugality does not reach even the
| borderland of parsimony. Though
there are some very wealthy citizens,
they cannot, from their daily habits
and mode of life, be told from those
who have just begun to store up a for
tune. The equality as shown by man
ner of living, interests in common, and
by dress is striking. The present May
or of Tell City, Albert z. Fem, was a
worker in one of the furniture fac
| tories.
The town is neat well paved, and
lighted by electricity. The tax rate is
90 cents. There are five churches and
good system of common and high
schools. German is used almost ex-
clusively In conversation, although the
children receive English educations.

c. HERE was hint OF autumn In
the woodland tints, where the
"a colors shaded from softest gray
est xray-green through russell tones to
deepest red and brown, and the breeze
that swept over the uplands was sug-
gestive of chilly October, but the gold
en- spell Of Indian summer lay on the
valley. touching the ripe peaches with
an added bloom and wooing the late
roses to unfold their fragrant hearts
before 1t was too late to give their
sweetness to the dying summer.
In the rectory orchard, under the
shadows of the fruit-laden trees, viii
lage lads and lasses hid and sought,
and out in the meadow the children
laughed and played and danced to the
music of their own voices.
The professor stood at the outer
edge of q circle of infant jewellers, his
spectacles pushed up on his broad
forehead, his soft Hamburg hat tilted
forward to shield his eyes from the
sun.
Gray eyes they were, with a keen
ness in them that was reflected and
that lent them a clearer vision for
things that time had set at a distance
than for present realities.
The iron-gray hair was brushed back
and outlined features that were not
unhandsome, though their sternness
gave him a semblance of severity, I'M
til he smiled.
When the professor smiled children
understood that the tall figure with it's
