=
Chicago, July 3. Reports received
here during the day from the grain
states most affected by the heavy June
rains indicate that the crop situation
is not so discouraging as it has been
painted in many quarters. This was
reflected in the grain pits, for while
the markets were firm at the opening
and for some time following, the eX-
3eitement Of Monday seemed to have
subsidized and there was disposition
to place much faith in the restorative
effects Of warmer weather which was
reported Ia some sections and believed
to be on the way in other places.
Ohio, Michigan. Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory crops were said to be generally
in q favorable condition. Damage gen.
orally, it was said, would: be largely
repaired by warm weather in July.
The lowlands of Illinois appear to
have been the worst sufferers, while
Iowa is said to have stood the weather
with remarkable success. There were
rains West and Mort Invest during the
night and the forecast is for showers
over the Central Valley and Lake re-
gion within the next twenty four hours.

Excessive Rain Damages Crops.

81 st. Louis, July 2.--There seems to
be no let up to the rain that has been
falling heavily at intervals ever since
Saturday morning. Reports of great
damage to crops in Illinois and Mis-
souri, continue to be received. Grain
sin shock that was not carried away by
the floods is beginning to sprout. In
the uplands corn and oats were BEN
efitted by the rains where not blown
down by the wind.
First Sunshine in Ten Days.
Detroit July 2.-Detroit is having
a clear sunshiney day for the first time
since June 81. The rain fall for June
was 6.97 inches, an excess of more
than three inches. Corn, late potatoes
and beans in Michigan have suffered
severely from the heavy rains. Wheat
is said to be running more to stalks
than to heads, while the. lack of sun.
shine has kept the hay from ripening.

Gold Found in Hungry
Gulch, Williams Co.,
North Dakota.
Discovery of the Yellow Met
tai in Paying Quantities.
Claims being Rapidly Staked Out
and Filed on.
WILD EXCITEMENT OVER the FIND
Assays from $500 to $ll5.OO
per Ton.

Williams County now has another in.
dustry that promises to outrival in value
any other in the county. 1t has long
been suspected that metals in paying
quantities would be found in this county
and after the retu1 MS that have come in
from assays, claims are being staked out
and the work Of mining gold will proba-
bly, commence in Il very short time.
Samples Of the metal indicate paying
values, with prospects for rich strike.
The place in which the golG was dis
covered is about 20 miles east OF this city
in Hungry Gulch and the first indica.
tons were noticed from nuggets washed
out by the heavy rains this summer.
Hungry Gulch is most wild and pic.
turesque place between hills about 300
feet high, there being a rank growth of
trees and vegetation in the gulch proper.
Coal is also found in abundance. the
coal forming ledge over which the
water flows forming water fall. The
geld is found under the ledge of coal and
it is expected will he easy to mine. In
dications point to an unlimited amount
of the precious metal and Williams Co.
bids fair to outrival the Black Hills
country in South Dakota in producing
the precious metal.

One of the worst prairie fires for sey-
eral years started at Wheelock on Satur-
day morning by train loaded with
sheep. Several parties lost hay, and
one party lost bis stables and hay. Ev-
erybody turned out to fight the fire.
The county fire drag worked fine. The
fire was got under control Sunday after
noon, Just before the rain. Everybody
should protect themselves with good
fire guard.

people Of Williston, died at the home of
his sister in Bottineau last week. Mr..
Carey had been ailing for many months
previous to bis removal to Bottineau,
and had received the closest attention
and the tenderest care which his loving
brother, H. A. Carey, could bestow, but
the ravages of his disease, consumption,
could not be staid, and he was forced to
yield to the inevitable while still in the
prime of manhood. The sympathies OF
a legion of friends are extended to the
bereaved relatives.

BEEF TRUST An ISSUE.
rir. German Said to Regard 1t AS
The Burning One.

a special dispatch from Washington
to the New York Herald says:
1.-The issue has appeared, gentleman
the disclosures about the Beef Trust.
The people in the country are not giving
much thought to the water cures" and
the "sand cures" but they are doing
some very hard thinking about the beef
combine. The women are going to have
voice i'll the coming campaign, and
if YOU have any doubt as to how
kiting the price of beef affects the
housekeepers, go down to Lexington
Market, in Baltimore. Saturday night
and hear what the women have to say
to their butchers
This is the kind of argument Sena.
tor elect A. p. German. of Maryland,
has been making at his conferences with
the members of the Democratic Con
gressional Committee. Senator German
has from the first has been deeply i'm
pressed with the magnitude of the ex.
posures of the combine as factor in
the approaching campaign. He told
Representative Griggs. of Georgia, the
chairman OF the Democratic Congress
sional Committee would be acting WISE
ly if 1t based the bulk OF its campaign
literature on the newspaper articles
attacking the combine.
HE has made no secret of his i'm.
pressions on this point. He has talked
with hundreds of public men about the
importance of the trust issue to the
Democratic party.
Senator German believes that it
would be impossible for the Democrats
to find another combine, if they went
over the country with a search warrant,
that would bring home to the people of
the country in such a way the economic
evils of sordid combination. Toa group
of Democrats last night he is reported
to have said that the Democrats had
much less to go on in 1892 than they
have now. He regards the Homestead
riots, which emphasized the Democratic
battlecry of 'plutocracy' in 1892 and
aided in electing Cleveland, as mere
bagatelle when compared with the Beef
Trust issue as political force.
1.-The Democratic Congressional Com
mittee was SO deeply impressed by the
practical advice and suggestions of Mr..
German that steps have already been
taken to make the Beef Trust conspicu-
GUS in the approaching campaign.
ut is the intention to supply every
home in the United States with all the
information obtainable bearing on the
unreasonable and unjustifiable increase
in the price of fresh meat to the con-
sumner. The campaign orators will be
loaded with data ON the same subject,
SO that every man. woman and child in
this country will be made familiar with
the inside working of the beef COM
bine."
