North Dakota Brick.

Col. Peake has on exhibition a
number of brick made by Brannan
Bros,~at Dickinson, and if the claims
made for these bricks are verified by
actual use it seems as if a new and
important industry has been started
in the state. They make fire brick
which has been tested with 5000
degrees of heat, more than double
the heat which St. Louis brick stand
without melting. The same COM
pany also turns out finishing brick
which experts claim are superior to
the best Menomonie brick The
brick can be made in different colors
ranging from a creamy white to a
dark red, the color depending on the
vein from which the clay is taken.
the price ranges about SIS thousand
cheaper than either the St. Louis or
Menomonie brick.

In this glad choras Ct the great
prosperity song, North Dakota fur
nishes its full complement of joy.
The people of North Dakota as a
whole-the farmers and the artisans
are prospering. The most cursory
glance through the state proves it.
Farm buildings, stock and grounds
are we'll and thriftily kept. In every
town, large and small, the most sub
stantial improvements are in pro-
gress. The newspapers are prosper
ous-the Herald is not the only one.
All papers published in North Dako-
ia regularly reach the Herald ex-
change table, and there is not one of
them that has not during the present t
era of Mckinley prosperity presented
its readers with improvements in SER
vice, type or make up, all proofs in
disputable of better times. There
are isolated instances of failure and
distress; there were 10 that beautiful
old garden where mankind first saw
the light; and there will be snch un-
til the end of time. 1t is so by man
date that is sometimes cruel, but is
beyond the power of man to control.
But in degree scarcely ever known
in this land before, and not now
known in any other nation in the
world, our country and it's people are
in the full enjoyment of general pros
perity.-Grand Forks Herald.

She Went to the Devil.

In divorce case at Cooperstown
there was quite a laugh created in
court by an answer of the plaintiff to a
question of her attorney. The fair
witness told narrowing tale of how
her husband had assaulted her, striking
her and finally putting her out of
doors and telling her to ''go to the
devil" Her attorney, anxious tc
bring out all the facts, asked. "and
where did you go then?" The
plaintiff quickly replied. II came

JESUS WEPT.

Thoughts suggested by the morning sermo
of Rev. Carver, at the Oakes Presbyterla
Church, July 9th.
Jesus wept-how sweet the knowledge,
That the Christ, of long ago,
Comforted the weeping sisters,
Wept, because of others woe:
Sweeter, still-to feel he loves us
In our joys, aud in our pain,
Giving us the blest assurance,
That our dead-shall rise again.
Jesus wept-ah, yes his life-work
Teaches sympathy, and love,
We should 'mong the olive branches,
Be each one, carrier dove;
To some heart that may be stricken
BY sense of sin, or shame,
We should bear a kindly message,
To the erring-"1n His Name"
Blessed thrice-aye, more than blessed,
He who counts all things but dross,
AS he holds aloft the Standard,
With the banner of the cross,
Helps to open eyes, that see not,
Helps to build the wall, that's kept
Trusting souls, in peace, aud safety,
Since the time that Jesus wept.

SOME VIGOROUS PROTESTS
CHAIRMEN CoNRoY AND WEBER
EXPLAINED THEIR DEMANDS.
Weber Said Conroy's Nominees Suited
Him and Conroy Was Willing For
the Board to Appoint Man.

The county commissioners were yes
terday before E. Nj. Conroy and A. j..
Weber the former representing the
Democratic and the latter the Bryan
silver party. The subject of the APP
pointnent of registration agents for the
twenty-five election precincts OF Og-
den was on and the chairmen expressed
themselves freely and registered formal
protests against the action OF the board
in appointing Republicans in those dis
tricts where Roberts had a plurality
of the votes cast for congress. Mr.
Conroy spoke first and called attention
to the statute governing the appoint
ments and which makes it the duty of
the board to appoint members OF the
political party whose candidate received
the highest number of votes cast in
the district where the agent is ap-
pointed. Mr.. Adams raised the tech
meal point that Mr.. Conroy had sub
mitted only one name for each district
whereby the statute specified that three
names should be submitted. Mr. Con-
roy claimed that this made no differ
ence with the duty of the commission.
ers. He was mot obliged to submit
single name, but even should he neglect
his duty the law prescribing the duty
of the commissioners was plain. The
suggestion was made by Chairman
Adams that it was a difficult matter to
determine the politics of agents. Mr.
Conroy replied that any man or woman
who claimed to be Democrat would
be satisfactory to the Democratic
party. Mr.. Weber said in this conuec-
ton that any name satisfactory to
Chairman Conroy would be satisfactory
to him as representative of the Bryan
silver party.
Mr.. Weber hayed the parity or parties
responsible for the letters sent to the
various chairmen by Clerk Hollings-
worth and called attention to the fact
that one sort of a letter was written to
the chairman of the Republican party
and another to each Of the others. In
the letters TO Mr.. Conroy and Mr.. We
Der they were invited to submit names
in the precincts except where Eldredge,
Republican, carried, while the letter to
Mr.. Hanson, the Republican chairman,
suggested that he submit a name for
each district. Either the clerk or the
board, whichever was responsible for
the letters, was to appearances guilty
of discriminating in favor of the Re- ]
publicans and of endeavoring to pre- /
arrange the matter.
The board took the protests under
advisement. Meanwhile the Republican
agents appointed by the board We're
being urged to qualify and a number
did so Yesterday.

DISTRESS AMONG THE cUBANS
INHABITANTS ARE SAID TO BE
IN A PITIFUL STATE.
Drought Has Ruined All the Crops
and Business In the Cities Is
Desperately Dull.


New York. Sept. 1S.-William Willis
Howard, general manager of the Cuban
industrial relief fund.- and who has re-
Gently returned from Cuba, says:
Cuba is in pitiful state Instead Of
rainy season, Cuba has had a
drought. Not since 1874 has there been
such long continued dry weather during
the summer The result has been dis
astrous. The United States weather
bureau reports that all small crops
have been ruined. Sugar cane has been
so damaged that the crop next year
will be less than the crop ground this
year.
THE most distressing feature of the
drought is the destruction of the corn
crop. Even under favorable circum-
stances the corn crop would have been
pitifully small. for it planted in driblets
here and there, on the outskirts OF the
towns by poor people who had no
means of doing any better The weather
bureau reports show that the best of
the corn crop in a few favored localities
will not yield more than Is per cent.
Business in the cities is desperately
dull. The hotels are empty, restaur
ants idle and all small affairs are life
less Large business concerns are scrap
ing along as best they may, in the
hope that the future of the island may
be definitely settled. The gradual with
drawal of the American troops has ma
terially lessened the amount of money
in circulation The hectic flush of I'M
real prosperity which many persons
mistook for genuine prosperity has died
out. There can be no return of pros
perity in Cuba until the farmers have
been helped back TO their homes.
I'm the country the desolation
wrought by war and Weyler still con-
tinues without abatement. The big
planters have been able to do only
little toward the rehabilitation of their
properties. They have as yet been un-
able to obtain money with which to re-
sumo operations. Money will not BE
forthcoming until the political condi-
tons are settled. -rss-s.~sse
The sugar and tobacco growers ia
vor annexation as q business measure.
Free trade with the United States
would serve Just as we'll. Cuban poll
ticians and office seekers want indie
pendenoe. Any method of giving them
offices would satisfy them. The bulk
of the people want only chance to
earn a living. Anything other than
Spanish rule will suit them.
ANY one who denounces the Cubans
as a dirty, lazy, worthless people is
guilty Of SANDER. Any one who as
serts that the Cuban will not work
speaks without knowledge of the sub
ject. Cubans come TO our relief farms
in swarms to beg for a days work. Not
one has yet come. to beg for food Our
relief farms are giving. support wholly
or in part to about $50 persons. of whom
about eco are dependent women and
children. We have workers in our
fields who should be in the hospital.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
South African Situation Causes
Wheat to Advance In Chicago.


Chicago. Sept. 1S..Wheat opened at an
advance of 1zQssc from Saturdays clos
ing price. with a good general demand at
those figures. The cause of the advance
was the strength of cables on account of
the critical South African situation and
some rather liberal covering by shorts
was done during the first half hour s
trading. The demand was readily sup
piled. but though plenty of bearish news
was at hand in regard to the crop move
ment and seeding conditions, the market
held up well until near the noon hour.
After the first rush of buyers had been
accommodated trading became dull and
prices kept within a narrow range, De-
cember easing off slightly from opening
figures. September in the meantime was
trading. Very little was offered for sale
and elevator people were moderate bid
ders, prices in consequence advancing
sharply early. Before noon December be-

weakness in Wall street, but particularly
