Tennessee cotton planters are send
ing out large orders for turkeys in an
effort to save the crop from destruc-
tion from grasshoppers, which have
appeared this season in enormous
numbers. This turkey eats all the
time he is awake and prefers grosshop-
pers to anything else, while grass
hopper diet results in wonderfully fine
turkeys.

TROUBLE FOR ARGUS.

NEW PROPR1ETORS DISPENSED
WITH PRESS REPORT, AND ARE
ORDERED OUT.
Fargo, June 6.-After the recent
change in the Argus it was thought
everything would move along harmon
iously for the next few months, but
there is now all kinds of trouble be-
tween the present and the old manage
ment. When Editor Mcdonald retired
he was taking a 3,OOO-word telegraph
report and had put up bonds to guar
antee the Associated Press. In the
transfer he neglected to have the new
management put up new bonds or as
sumo the old. The present proprie-
tors have decided to dispense with the
press report and it leaves Mcdonald
with the entire responsibility. He
ordered his successors out of the build
ing, the lease of which he controls, and
they are now seeking new quarters.

GOOD CROPS.

RED RIVER VALLEY PROSPECTS
ARE GOOD BUT HAY CROP PROM
ISES TO BE SHORT.
Grand Forks, June SO. A. Web
ster, the we'll known insurance man,
who is a very close observer of crops,
has just returned from an extended
trip, and said yesterday morning:
"The conditions for good crop have
never, in my opinion, been better. The
acreage of land seeded is very great,
the work was better done than I ever
knew it to be done before, and the
seeding was completed very early. The
ground has been in excellent condition,
and, contrary to the opinion held by
many, I do not believe that the state
has suffered from drought. think
the cause for a good deal of the nerv-
BUSINESS which has been exhibited is
the fact that the season was so much
earlier than usual that people have be-
come confused in their reckoning. In
ordinary years farmers are busy seed
ing during the first half of May, and
praying for dry weather. This year
most of the wheat Seeding was done
before May and people began praying
for rain. The ground has not been
wet, but in few places has it been so
dry that early sown grain has not got
a good start. This last rain will send
it right along. Flax seeding, pur-
posely delayed because this grain
should not be sown early, is just over,
and the rain is just right for it..
think the only bad effects from the
dry weather will be in the shortage Of
hay and baroness of pasturage The
grass crep is certainly backward. In
fact wild grass has scarcely started
This fact may result in a late crop of
beef from the ranges, and hay will be
hay this fall"

BOOM TAKING SHAPE.

Washington, June G.-Ex-Senator
Washburn's candidacy for vice presi-

Robert Jamison has been doing some
quiet work in Washington and he left
for Minnesota today, carrying the
news that there will be 'propitious'
time to present the ex-senator's name.
1t is understood that Jamison has re-
ceived much encouragement and that
both Senators Davis and Nelson will
do all they can in behalf of Washburn.
Gen. Washburn is now in New York.

Shanghai, June 6.-The Japanese

REPUBLICANS
THEY ARE A LITTLE TOUCHY ON
THAT CALL FOR JUDICIAL CON-
VENTTON

Wahpeton, N. D., June 2.-The
county republican central committee
met in Wahpeton last Saturday to
make arrangements for holding the
county nominating convention. There
was large attendance, every precinct
being either directly represented, or
present by proxy. 1t was decided to
call the convention for June IA, and
that but one convention be held. The
impertinence of the district judicial
committee in directing that special
conventions be held for the selection
of delegates to the judicial convention
was ignored. The committee feels
that the republicans of A..chland coun-
ty do not require any dictation at the
hands of the judicial committee, nor
is it necessary that the judicial COM
mittee even suggest what means shall
be employed in selecting delegates to
the judicial convention. ~~For ten
years it has been the custom of the
party to select its delegates to the tu-
dicial convention at the regular county
convention when delegates to the state
convention are elected, and when can
didates for the legislature and county
offices are nominated, and there is no
reason why the long established GUS
tom should not be followed this year.
The Globe says: 1T is ridiculous that
any sensible committee should direct
that separate convention be held,
thereby putting a heavy and useless
extra expense upon the delegates

Fargo, June G-States Attorney
Morrill, returned from Casselton where
he appeared in the prosecution against
Charles Taylor, arrested on the charge
of assault with a dangerous weapon
with intent to kill. According to the
testimony, Frank O'Neill, a we'll dig
ger, who was temporarily employed at
the Taylor farm, became intoxicated
on Friday night, late, and returned to
the Taylor home. Mr.. Taylor advised
him to behave and go to bed, but
O'Neill appeared ugly and, among
other things, took an ak and broke in
the front door. He then went to a
window in the room occupied by Mr..
Taylor and proceeded to reduce it to
small bits. Taylor got up and got a
shot gun and ordered O'Neill away.
He did not heed the warning and Tay-
lOr fired the gun. A charge OF shot
passed along the left side of O'Neill
and considerable Of it landed in the
muscle of the arm. He was taken to
Casselton, where the shot was picked
out, or as much of it as possible, and
a warrant was sworn out for the ar
rest of Taylor.

toward Taylor it would certainly have
been case of killing. Taylor was al
lowed to plead guilty to a charge of
assault and was fined $50. so in all.

though it was learned with regret that
Prof. Crago, who was to have read a

esting paper entitled "a Trip Through
Scotland" in which she gave very
clear and vivid descriptions of the
many beautiful places famed in the
history and literature of that renown-
ed country. Her critical delineations
of the homes of Scott and Burns were
exceedingly interesting to the many
devotees of those authors who were in
the audience. Edinburgh and Glasgow
were described also, and many other
places not so we'll known to Americans
but nevertheless fraught with history
and legends. Miss Irwin travelled
through Scotland as we'll as Western
Europe last summer and the beautiful

was treat to those assembled.
Miss Beatrice Cox, of Lincoln,
School, then read a paper on History
and Literature as Agencies in the Nor
al Development of Children Miss
Cox began by calling attention to the
three-fold nature of the child and to
the fact that his moral nature was too
often neglected. She then proceeded
to show in most clear and logical
way how the proper study of history
and literature would cultivate this side
of the child's nature, taking as her
premise that association Begets AS
similation," and pointing out how the
study Of various authors and histories
would subServe this end.
The clearness, force and logic of Miss
Cox's style and the purity of her die
ton served greatly to impress the
underlying thoughts and were fully
appreciated.
