why 1t Is ca1l.,d Dutch Gap.

When Ben Butler was endeavoring
to get the Union gunboats up the
James, he found the water in the bend
at Dutch Gap too shallow to let them
pass, to say nothing of the fact that
the Confederates had erected two or
three batteries along the bend in order
to give him a warm reception. So he
went ahead and cut canal across the
neck and suddenly, instead of being
13 miles from, Richmond, he was only
six. Ever since that time the canal
has been used, and the government
now considers it the channel of the
river and keeps it in shape. The plan
tations along the land were thus sud-
denly drained of their very lifeblood
and have naturally fallen into decay.
The place is called Dutch Gap be-
cause at this spot, in early colonial
days, a Dutchman worked very
smooth game upon the unsuspecting
Indian. The Dutchman wagered the
Indian that he could beat him padding
a canoe around the bend. The Indian
took him up on the instant and gave
him mile the start. They started
just above the bend, the Indian a mile
behind, and when the Dutchman reach
ed the neck he jumped on shore, grab
bed his canoe out Of the water, ran
across to the other side with it, drop
ped it into the water again and calmly
awaited the arrival of the astonished
Indian, who had padded frantically
around the bend in the endeavor to
catch up with him. What the wager
was is not recorded, but the Dutchman
doubtless got possession of 100000 or
100000 acres of land as a result Of the
trick. Cor. Chicago Record.

RAILROAD WRECKS.
Thomas A. Scott Used to Handle
Them Without Gloves.

Thomas A. Scott Used to Handle
Them Without Gloves.
"When that wonderful railroad gen
ius, the late Thomas A. Scott, was
building up the Pennsylvania system,
the work he did was superhuman, the
results he accomplished marvellous" )"
said s-A old railroad man. "Scott was
essentially man of action. For eX-
ample, at one time there occurred on
the line freight wreck that piled up
scores of cars in a confused heap in a
cutting, thus completely barring the
main line.
s'The local authorities were beside
themselves, for they could not figure
out how the wreck could be cleared
away and the line reopened in less than
two weeks. At this juncture Scott ar
rived on the scene and after a survey
of the wreck sent for great quantity
Of coal oil, with which he had the pile
thoroughly drenched. It was then
touched off, and the god Of fire soon
removed all trace Of it, and traffic was
resumed on the line in "a hours.
ga bridge fell, and it was feared
long delay must ensue, but Scott put
more than 1000 men to work on that
one structure and thus eliminated the
question. of delay. Those were the
days when such things counted and
were not only possible, but necessary.
Today railroading is reduced to such a.
fine point that the need for them no
longer exists. The roads are too safe
guarded for that.
"The last instance l remember of
such railroad work as that was at the
Johnstown flood in 1889, think it was

the use of side lines, was one of the

were summoned, and q particular task

They one and all responded as best
they could to the spur, and the line

Crop Report.

The climate and crop bulletin of
the weather bureau for the week end
ing Sept. 18th SAWS
Four days of the week we're with
out rains, except in small areas.
There were heavy rains on the 10th
in the Minnesota Valley and the
Southwest, and in nearly all parts of
the state on the 18th. The tempera-
lures of the 9th and 10th were higher
for the season, but the rest of the
week they were moderate till the 18th.
Frosts occurred on the morning of
the 18th in northern portions-the
first of the season. On the morning
of the 18th frosts we're general in all
parts Of the state. those in the north
ern half probably being severe enough
to kill vegetation not aheady ripe;
the only crop ofimportance liable to
injury being the late fax. A little
thrashing has been attempted in
Kittson county, and possibly in few
other counties, but this work was
practically at a standstill during the
whole week. Wheat still in shock is
in bad condition. and that in stack is
said to be damp and sprouting.
Some of the late flax has been cut,
but unless dry weather. comes on it
may be injured. Corn cutting near
ing completion, but in some places
the ground is so soft that corn
binders cannot be used. Flowing
has been made much easier in south
eastern counties; elsewhere it is going
we'll except where the ground is too
wet. Potatoes are being dug where
the soil is dry enough. The second
crop of Wild grass is better than the
earlier crop, but rains have made it
difficult to secure. Pastures are very
good.

Kicked ON the story.

Probably most writer's Of serial sto-
ries are familiar with the sensation of
receiving letters of commendation or
disapproval from interested readers
who are following up the stories as
they appear in their regular weekly or
monthly installments. Occasionally
some curious person asks for private
information as to what the outcome is
to be, while others offer suggestions
as to the disposition to be made Of the
villain or express a fear that the au-
thor is to marry the hero to the wrong
woman.
The writer of a serial story in one Of
the popular magazines few years ago
received the following letter from an
indignant reader. The names are
changed for obvious reasons:
Dear Sir-I take the liberty of telling you that
/ regard your "simeon Stacy" now running
through The Blank Magazine, as a little the thin
nest novel have read Furthermore, the prin-
cipal character in the story, to whom you give
the title role, so to speak, is 80 thoroughly de-
testable man that / have taken the most eff
fective means in my power to show my contempt
for him by changing my name-which happened
to be the same as his--to something as unlike il
as possible. Yours truly, ANDREW JAcoBsoN,>

GRAIN PRICES in MORRIS.
Flax Eight Cents Higher than in Ham
cock--Oats Four Cents.

The superiority of Morris as a
market for grain was demonstrated
on Tuesday. Flax was $1.38 in Han
cock while in Morris $1.46 was paid,
twenty cents was the prevailing price
in Hancock for oats. though twenty
one was paid, while the price paid in
Morris was twenty, four cents. Wheat
was also one cent higher here than at
Hancock.
Supplies are much cheaper in Nor
ris than they are in any of the small
er towns of the county, and with the
better prices paid here for produce,
all the farmers who can possibly do
SO should haul their produce to this
market and also purchase at this
point.

BEEF WILL. BE HIGH,
Wars, Large Foreign Demands, and
Scarcity of Cattle Said to Be
the Reason

the Reason,
Breakfast steaks and roast baef
dinners will be rare luxury on the
tables of the poor this winter, if the
projections at the stock yards prove
true, says Chicago report. For
some time there has been steady
advance in the price of cattle, and
the prospects now are that prices
will go still higher and will remain
stiff throughout the winter.
AS yet the retail market has net
telt the full effect of these advances.
In very short time, however, beef
that is now selling at IL and IA cents
retail may be expected to go to Is and
l6 cents, and the cheaper grades will
be marketed by corresponding ad-
vances. It is feared that beef. pork,
veal, mutton-in fact all kinds of
meats will be exceptionally high.
This condition is anomalous. AS a
rule at this time of the year all meats
are cheap, but several causes have
been at work to influence the market.
In the first place there is the foreign
demand. which has been increased
not only by the Boer and Chinese
wars, but also by the genarally grow
ing popularity of American meat pro-
ducts in Europe. There is also a
marked falling off in the supply of
western cattle. The breeders, it is
said, are trying to cross breeds to
raise better stock, and in the interim
both high bred and low bred cattle
will be scarce.
