A JUNE FROST.

Jamestown, June lit is reported
that there was a, heavy frost in the
vicinity Of Minnewaukan y "a and that
crops were injured 20 quite an extent.
An elevator man., who travels over
nearly all the wheat growing portion
of the state, says that the crop situ-
alton is anything but encouraging. He
says that the rains Of the past few
weeks were not heavy enough to help
crops to any great extent. Hot winds
followed the showers and the ground
dried rapidly A two or three days
rain is necessary, the elevator man
thinks, to make the late sown fax grow
and help the wheat to recover from the
effects Of unfavorable weather.

FENCING GOVERNMENT LAND

FENCING GOVERNMENT LAND.
Mihot, June 11.-Col Lounsberry,
special agent of the general land office,
has been spending some days on the
cattle ranges Investigating the alleged
unlawful inclosure of public land. In
all cases where he found land inclosed
without the assertion of a homestead
right or color, of title, he gave formal
notice that the fences must be removed
within sixty days and if not removed
within that time he would report the
matter to the United States district at
torney for prosecution The law de-
clares it unlawful to inclose public
land and makes it a misdemeanor pun
ishable by a fine not exceeding 81 900
and Imprisonment not exceeding two
years. Where the fences are removed
as directed, there is not likely to be
any prosecution, but where there is
intimidation of settlers and refusal
to comply with the requirement, it
may go hard with the offenders.

inches in length, and that they move
about in patches of three and four, at
tacking the, stalks of the fax and eat
ing their way through. Garden vege-
tables have also suffered, in fact all
vegetation except the wheat crop.

mony OF decorating the graves takes
place, After religious services the
procession returns to town where 4
bountiful free dinner is served by the
hospi table people Of Washburn to the
assembled multitude after which
come the speeches. Grand Army cere-
monlals interspersed with music and

EYE DOCTOR GETS TOO SWIFT AT
MINOT# AND IS TREATED TO A
ROTTEN EGGING.
Minot, June 11.-When the west
west bound flyer pulled out of Minot
it had at least one passenger whose
heart was sad. His name was Frank
Williams, an eye doctor from the Zen
ith city of unsalted seas, as Pat Donan
would put it, and = his clothes were
smeared from the soles of his boots
to the crown of his summer hat with
the fruits of hen industry. And it
was evident from the odor that the
purchasing agents for the attacking
party had not been as careful as they
might have been in selecting the quail
ity Of eggs employed. @&:5 {
Some ten days ago a stranger got
off the west bound train and went di-
rectly to the Dakotah hotel where he
registered as Frank Williams, Du-
luth, Mimi He was about % years
of age and seemed to be gentleman
of good address. He proceeded at
once to let it: begenerally known that
he was an optician and made ia spe-
cialty Of curing weak eyes and selling
glasses. He canvassed the town and
in that way become generally ac-
quainted and it was not long before
he began making dates with young
ladies to go out for a walk or to meet
him at certain places. He had no
scruples about insulting the girls as
soon as they were at safe distance
and in one instance, il was said that
he tried to choke one of them into sub
mission. The girl complained of their
treatment to their brothers and par
ents which finally led to an organized
effort to treat the travelling offender
to a shower of eggs. S5
After due consid GRAFTON, Tuesday
night was set for the match to beScar-
gied of, and about thirty young men
armed with eggs of uncertain age,
waited patiently for his exit from the
hotel, but he did not exit worth a cent.
He had been given the tip and while
the attacking party waited, his job
lots was packing his grip with a view
Of making mis- escape on the midnight
train for the west. About 1:30 he
sauntered forth and no sooner had he
set foot on the platform Of the hotel
when q shower Of eggs we're hurled at
him. Ia his excitement he ran across
the street to the railroad restaurant

TRACKLAYING.
Crew Busy With the Work of Track
laying on the Washburn Road-Now
Nine Miles Out.
Will Complete the Track to Wilton in
Couple Of Weeks Shortage
of Flat Cars. .a

A party of gentlemen, consisting of
General Traffic Manager Walker Chief
Engineer Dixon of the Washburn road,
Hon. John Satterlund, j. F. PhiIbrick,
NJ. w. Hutchinson and a representa-
tive of the Tribune made a trip in the
engine ''Washburn'' over the COM
pleted track of the new Washburn road
tor a distance of about nine miles to
the new station, Arnold. That there
is railroad winding through the val
ley northward in the direction of
,Washburn-a real railroad with roll
ing stock in operation upon the rails,
seems Il little dreamy, until a trip over
the road is actually made. But there
is such road, and engines spin over
the new track at a fair rate of speed,
hauling cars with ties, steel and rail-
road building material to the crew of
tracklayers that is at work. The
track is being well laid and has been
surfaced for a distance of six or seven
miles, the last two or three miles of
the completed track being a little un-
even yet, and trains running conse-
quently slow. The run out yesterday
morning was made in half hour or
so, and verify it was novel sensation
that CT being carried along over a
railroad newly builded through new
country. 1 l..1 !:
The general direction of the new
road is familiar to nearly every
one, eastward to a little. distance be-
yond the penitentiary and then almost
directly northward, through valleys
and creek bottoms. Leaving the curve
north of the pen there is a gradual
grade along the line, and the route of
the road is picturesque and affords
some interesting scenery. @ i:
The tracklaying crew is at Arnold,
about nine miles north of the city.
Here a side track is being put in-the
first one north Of the city. The work
of tracklaying is progressing at the
rate of about a mile a day, and would
progress faster if there were not a
shortage of fiat cars for the hauling
Of rails and ties from the city. Con-
tractor Winston said yesterday that
the seventeen miles yet remaining to
be ironed to Wilton could be COM
pleted in twelve days, if he had an ad-
ditional dozen fiat cars, but without
these the work would take little
longer. There is a. consignment of
western lumber being unloaded at Ar
mold, bridge stringers and other ma
terial. This came in over the North
ern Pacific and the cars were hauled
out without unloading, thus saving
that length of overland haul.
A crew of seventy men is working at
.tracklaying. Under the present con
ditions the road will be completed to
Wilton about the first of July, possibly
a little before that time.G A surfacing
crew is following the tracklayers and
leyeling up the track, and the train
follows close behind the tracklayers.

RAILWAY MEN Fob NJ, ,KINLEY.

y RAILWAY MEN FOR NJ KINLEY.3S
American railway men now visiting
London declare that more railway men
and industrial employees of all kinds
will vote for Mckinley this year than
in 1896, because OF the increased pros
perity they have enjoyed under the
sound money and protective tariff
regime. AZ glance at the remarkable
activity in transpo ortation enterprises
during the last year shows that the
railroad men nave good cause for wish
ing to perpetuate the present condi-
tions OF supporting the policy that
brought them about, observes the Chi
cago Tribune. Prosperity has come
to them in a steady creseendo, SO that
the annual reports for the last fiscal
year show an enormous increase in
gross receipts over any year in the
last four The net receipts have also
increased, but the gain is considerably
smaller than that in the gross receipts
only about three-fourtfs as great.
The difference represents the extra
amount that has been absorbed in op-
Grating expenses and higher wages.
Under the inspirauon of prosperity
the railroads have not only been work.
ing the existing plants to the limit Of
their capacity but have also been ex-
tending and improving their lines.
They have been employing more train
hands, switchmen, section men, track
layers-more skilled and unskilIed lab
orers-than before, and at better
wages. Labor has had its share Of
the prosperity-more than its proper
tlonal share. The financial report of
the Northwestern road for the last
year shows gross earnings Of S42,952,-
46o and net earnings of $1O,051 ,244.
Over 60 per cent of the gross receipts
went to labor in the shape OF operating
expenses. The road spent Sc, ,125, ,O6S
more for operating expenses than it did
the year before. The report of the
Rock Island road for the last fiscal
year shows an increase of $f,9S2, 500
in gross receipts and of only S676,350
ID net receipts While the gross in
come has increased the net is. ONE has
decreased. The dinerence went to
furnish larger opportunities and re-
wards for labor.
What is true of the Northwestern
and Rock Island roads is true of all.
The railroads have prospered wonder
fully under the present administration.
and their employees have received
their full share of the increase. Where
thousands were idle four years ago
there is now abundant work at fair
wages for every capable railroad man.
This great industrial army-the Iarg-
est IN the United States after that of
agricultural-is now enjoying the COM
forts and many of the luxuries of life.
1t is not strange that the railroad men
are in favor of re-electing Mckinley
and continuing their prosperity
through another four years.
