ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.
Mrs. c. ii. Stinson Heroine i'm an
EnOch Arden Case.

From the ST. Paul Dispatch.
Fargo, n. D., Feb. 15.-Another
Hudson marriage has resulted in
trouble and there is a new North
Dakota edition of the Enoch Arden
story. Some years ago young girl
eIoped to Hudson, Wis, with Fred
Douglass. They were married at the
place were nuptial knots are tied
more carelessly than they are united
in North Dakota. A year later
Douglass deserted his bride and new
born babe. The wife didn't mourn
much for the charm had worn off.
Douglass had developed into a shift
less, drunken wretch. A year after
his disappearance Mrs. Douglass met
her husbands mother and was in
formed of Douglass'death in aFlorida
hospital, She was shown a letter
from physician there, stating that
Douglass could not live and informed
that final dissolution had come.
Believing herself to be widow
Mrs. Douglass, a year later, married
G. Fl. Stinson, The latter is an ele-
Vator agent and has lived in differ
ent towns in the Northwest for
number of years. Less than a year
ago he secured position as agent
for one Of the elevator companies at
Arthur, in this county. Since his
marriage to Mrs. Douglass three
children had been born and the
family was happy one.
Their pleasure was rudely inter-
rupted recently by the receipt of a
letter from Fred Douglass, who she
thought had been dead all these years.
He informed her of his return to his
old home after years Of wandering
and of his learning of her second mar
riaee. lie threatened to expose her
unless she sent him money. She at
once turned the letter over to her hus-
band. They concluded to settle with
the blackmailer promptly, and ceased
to live together as man and wife. Mrs,
Stinson came to Fargo and begGn the
suit for divorce from her first hus-
band. Yesterday afternoon the case
came up before Judge Pollock and
the degree was granted and before
the ink was dry on the courts sigma
ture they repaired to the judges
Office aud in FIVE minutes were
married again. Mr.. and:sMrs. Stinson
returned to Arthur tonight happy over
the termination of the case. The po-
sition has been a very annoying one
for the lady, but sho has the respect
of her acquaintances.

Spring Wheat Has Suffered Since JURY
Wheat and Corn Exports of a
Week = Brother of Vice President
Hobart Is Fatally Injured.

Bradstreet's weekly trade report says:
among the favorable features of the
week have been the reports regarding the
corn crop, Government estimates point
ing to a yield of probably 1900, O0O,O0O
bushels, heavy increase over last year,
and almost within touch of the record
total Of 1896. Spring wheat indications
apparently bear out earlier trade advlces
In showing a decrease in condition during
July. The reduction of 25,OOO, 600 bush
els in the probable outcome estimated,
however, still allows of total wheat
crop of $50, 100000 bushels, considerably
smaller than last years, but with the ex-
ception of 1898 and 1891 the heaviest re-
corded. Wheat Including four) ship
ments for the week aggregated 1876, 154
bushels, against All, GA bushels last
week, 3,92S,6O bushels in the CORE
spending week of 1898, 4, AGO, 519 bushels
in 1897, 2,635,216 bushels in 1896 and
1924, 62S bushels in 1895. Corn exports
for the week aggregate 5,9oO,361 bushels,

CONDITION OF CROPS.
REPORTS FROM NEBRASKA,
IOWA AND DAKOTA.
Yield of Small Grain Will Be Smaller
than Indicated by Previous Esti-
mates Americans Buy Two Islands
Off the Cuban Coast.

Reports received from the agents of
the Sioux City and Western Railway In
dicate that small grain in Nebraska as
far west as O'Neill has about all been
harvested, but the yield in northwest
Iowa, southern South Dakota and Ne
braska will be less than has been pre-
viously estimated. The grain is found to
be small and shriveled and although hard
and of quality to grade No. wheat,
will not run above fourteen bushels to
the, acre in many localities where twenty
bushels had been expected. Oats will
not run above thirty bushels to the acre.
Recent rains retarded harvesting, and
hot winds which preceded them did al
most as much damage as hailstorms
which visited some sections, particularly
Plymouth County, Iowa, where $4,000
of damage by hail is reported. Corn has
benefited by the rains, but the crop will
be far from satisfactory.

WEST RIVER TRADE IN CHINA.
Consul Reports Traffic Growing De-

Consul Reports Traffic Growing De-
spite Depredations of Pirates.
Consul General Wildman has reported
to the State Department from Hong
Kong on the growing trade Of the West
river in China, which taps one of the
most fertile sections of the empire. He
appends a memorandum giving an &C
count of the depredations of Chinese pi-
rates along the river. 1t is impossible,
he says, for the Chinese officials to put
down this piracy, as well as the dishonest
fiscal system along the river and the brig
andage of some of the chief towns. The
torpedo boats sent. to suppress the dep
relations are said to be engaged in turn
ing an honest penny by towing, to the
neglect of their proper work, which re-
ceives no attention" The opinion is ex-
pressed that if piracy is to be suppressed
1t will probably have to be done by Brit
ish gunboats.

President Buys the Famous Mckinley
Cottage at Canton, Ohio.
President Mckinley has purchased the
famous Mckinley cottage at the cor
ner of North Market street and Louis
avenue, Canton, Ohio. The consideration
was $14,5O0. The papers have passed.
He will secure possession under the con-
tract and deed in October next. Inc
property was not in the market. 1t was
endeared to President and Mrs. McAln-
ley as their first home, where they be-
gan housekeeping, and by tender mem
cries of sorrows there. The front veran-
da shows the most wear from the historic
campaign of 1896, when the noted nome
was the political Mecca for nearly l,ooO'-
600 people. Before leaving Canton Tor
the Inauguration President Mckinney
tried to buy the home made doubly Gear
to him. 1t is not believed that Mrs
Hartes would have sold the place to any
one else. It is believed to be the Presi-
dents intention to spend part OF eacn
summer in Canton.

and weak from the loss Of blood. Later
the dead body of Goldie McConkey was

bullet wounds in her breast. Bond de-
MES having killed his sweetheart, and
says that some one unknown to him shot
them both. Appearances indicate that
the wounds were not inflicted by per-

clothing of Miss McConkey was burned
