It is evident from indications up to
date that Langdon IS destined to be the
Mecca this fall of the itinerant penny "a
liner who talks to local business men of a
souvenir aud write up of the city and
county, for which each recipient of
twenty line "puff," possibly surmounted
! with apicture is supposed to "pay the
freight" of the writer to the next town.
Langdon has been played Sucker" along
I this line before, but human nature is
naturally susceptible to "taffy" and as a
rule these smooth fellows are good
judges of how thick they can spread it
on. The result is the county, its re-
sources, progress and opportunities are
passed up like "white, chip" or if any
attempt at all is made to deal with them
the facts are SO handled as to be unreli-
able. Write ups are good thing for
any locality when handed by capable
parties, but when undertaken by an
outsider are as rule unsatisfactory
which fact, is usually found out when q
"kick" is non-effective.

The beautiful Indian summer weather
Of North Dakota is here as natural

Devils Lake papers are still up in the

Of never getting it. The Inter Ocean is

To complete the farce Of the third game,
called to decide the tie, that paragon of
umpires, "Bllly" Irysh, who has happy
faculty of placing his money on the
winning team, was selected to give the
game that was never played to the
devils Of the Satanic City. They want
Cd the pennant bad and it has been
swarded them BY the president of the
state league, but the manner in which it
was obtained reduces it's value to less
than thirty cents
Weather this week has set back the
work ofsaving and taking care OF theC ava.
ier county crop to an extent that no one
but the farmers themselves are able to
Iealize. The yield OF thousands Of acres
would now have been safely housed in

elements had fair weather prevailed
during the past week. Little or nc
stacking has been done and thresheri
from the Valley can bring their machines

Of at least two weeks of steady run
Fxom Milton the report has beer
circulated that twenty five threshinf
outfits could find jobs covering severa
weeks in duration in the portion of tn,

there averages from Is to as high as II
bushels per acre. Barley is quoted a
cunning from "a to As bushels and oatl
yield all the way from 40 to 80 bushel
per acre. Crops in Cavalier county are
lighter in straw than those harvested in
the Valley but the yield of grain will ru,
ct least a third heavier. What is stated
Of scarcity Of threshing machines in thu
south end of the county applies equal,
as we'll to other sections. Cavalie
county is in need of help to save the BIZ
crop.

Postmaster P. MeHugh, writing to the

states, "That with the most favorable

Grain is running, wheat, 20 to 80 bushels;
barley, none less than 40; oats, 40 to 70;

as thick as blackbirds on fence. We
must have more machines or great

Committee Raised by Presbyte- rianS to Look After the
 Relief Work

Little Rock, Ark, May A.-The South ern Presbyterian general assembly this afternoon refused to adopt the catechism on the nature and government of the church as reported by the committee ap- pointed. It was ordered that the cate chism be sent down to the Presbyteries for criticism with instructions to return it to the ad interim committee by Feb ruary l, 1902.
 The assembly divided the synod of Mis- sssippi into the synods of Mississippi and Louisiana on state lines. The synod of Memphis was divided and the synod of Tennessee created.
 After a lengthy debate the assembly directed the executive committee on pub lications to select field superintendent for Sabbath school work. The assembly adopted the recommendation of the com mittee on the Bible cause, reminding pastors and churches that the collection for the Bible Society on the third Sab bath in October, or on some other more convenient day is embraced in the. as- sembly's scheme of benificence and should regularly and faithfully be attended to-
 It was ordered that the following amendments to the book of church order be sent to the Presbyteries for their ad- vice and consent with the recommenda- tion that it be adopted: Provided, fur ther, That in the case of a synod com posed of only three Presbyteries, and seven ministers representing any two Presbyteries, shall be a quorum
 Standing committee reports on minis terial relief recommends providing fund for relief of pressing needs of disabled ministers and their families that collec- tions be solicited from the churches dur ing July and that an earnest effort be made to raise not less than $20,0O0 and that all ministers whose names are on the presbytery rolls, whether laboring at home or In foreign fields, shall be eligible to the benefits of the fund and that the following executive committee of minis sterial relief be elected:
