Extensive improvements are being

The rain greatly helped the diamond
by settling the clay. When it has been

be rolled, and the fielders will be able
to play a faster game. The seating ca

WHEAT SEEKING AnAxDoxEp.

Too Much Moisture Has Forced the
Farmers to Plant Other CrOps-The
Outlook Good in Minnesota.
The latest date for safe wheat seed
Ing, according to the calendar of some
{ Of the most extensive and successful
; wheat farmers in North Dakota, has
passed, and in some localities hardly
any seed at all has been put in the
slound, and for the whole Of Trail
county, which is generally one of the
best counties in the state, probably
considerably less than one-half the usu-
al acreage has been seeded. Reports
from the eastern portion of the county,
a'ong the Red river, appear very dis
couraging for any wheat seeding being
done at all this spring. The land is
low; nothing has been done as yet, and
the heavy and continuous rains of the
East week look as though nothing
could be done for some time under the
best Of circumstances. In many of the
central and southern parts Of the coun-
ty conditions are but little more favor
able.
In the western and northern part Of
the county, where the land is slightly
higher and more sandy, it has been pos
sible to mud I'M seed in some fields,
and some farmers have sowed nearly
their full acreage. But these are the
exceptions. Flax will be sown largely
if the fields should become dry enough
so that they can be worked. Barley is
in great demand for seed, and much
d'ffiulty is experienced in securing suf-
ficient for the demand.
Favorable conditions for seeding pre-
vailed during the first part of the week,
and the work was crowded to the ut
most, despite the fact that it was often
necessary to extricate the teams from
the soft mud by means Of ropes. This
is part of the "mudding-in'' process.
The heavy rains which have been fall
ing in the Red River valley during the
last half of the week have effectually
stopped all attempts at seeding.

Due to Another Violent Eruption of
Mount SOufricre.

Mount Soufricre.
Kingstown, St. Vincent, May 23.-An-
other great eruption of the Soufriere
volcano occurred Sunday night.
Throughout Sunday the adjoining dis
tr;cts trembled and some of the shocks
were felt here. Smoke issued from
the craters and assures Of the noun
tain. and the atmosphere throughout
the island of st. Vincent was exceed
ingly hot. While the worshippers were
returning from church at $3.50 p. m. an
alarming, luminous cloud suddenly
assembled many miles high in the north
end of tie Island and drifted sluggish
~ to the northeast. The thunderous
rumblings in the craters lasted for two
hours and then diminished until they
became mere murmurings. The re-
r,ainder of the night was clear. Ashes
fell from 10 o'clock until midnight. The
nfabitants were frenzied with fear at
the time of the outbreak, dreaGing a.
repetition of the catastrophe which,
caused such terrible loss of life on
this island. They ran from the streets
into the open country, cying and pray
ing for preservation from another
calamity. No one on the Island of ST.
Vincent slept that night. Yesterday,
there was an alarming report from a
creditable source that Enham noun
tain, near the marriaquia valley, an
old and apparently extinct crater. was
showing signs Of activity This volcano
is only six miles from Kingstown.

LEMON LEASE MAY FAIL.
Whole Leasing Proposition May Be
IOxt-FrcSh MOvememnt Against
DinGenheimer,

whole LeAStnE Proposition May Be
LOxt-FrcSh MOvememnt Against
Dingenheimer.
DR.. Grinnell and Maj. Mclaughlin
are making a thorough inspection Of
the land contained in the Lemon lease,
and the opinion seems to be that the
whole leasing proposition will be turned
down. DR.. Grinnell has not expressed
any opinion on the matter as yet, how
ever. It is said he will personally in
terview Wade, who charges corruption
on the part of Commissioner Jones and
Agent Bingenheimer, in order that he
may be able to give his opinion to the
president on his return.
The only Foundation for any charges
against Commissioner Jones in the
leasing matter. so far as known in this
state, is the fact that the lease was first
offered to the Milwaukee road, the In
dams, however, refusing to treat with
that corporation. The fact that Com
missioner Jones came from Wisconsin
led to remarks, especially as there is q
good deal of bad feeling over the right
oi-way granted the Milwaukee from
Evarts across the Sioux country. The
idea of Jones being in with Lemon is
secuted as ridiculous by those familiar
with the situation.
Mr.. Bingenheimer's enemies have ap-
pealed to the president to order a new
investigation, asserting that the one
held by Inspector Nessler was not fair.
1t is not thought their request will be
granted, as anyone who had anything
against the agent had ample opportu-
nifty to testify.
