TOO MUCH RAIN.

Fargo Forum: The Red River
valley is getting too much rain, and
the crops are showing its effects in
yellowed patches and fields coyere d
with weeds. For three weeks the
weather has been showe1y and in a
few sections there have been occas-
sional rains ever since spring opened.
Outside of the belts that we're flood
ed there has been little complaint
until the past week, but the con-
tlnued showery weather, with the
temperature ruling rather cool, has
delayed growth, discOlored the grain,
and has had general bad effect.
Taking the valley as a whole the
damage thus far has not been great,
but what is needed now is bright dry
warm weather, and lots Of it.

MILES CITY HORSE SALE.

Over 5000 head of western horses
were sold at the great horse sale of
A. 3. Clark in Miles City. last week.
Most OF the animals were bought for
the southern markets, the prices be-
ing more than this market would
stand for the kind of horses sold.
Some high figures were secured, all
sales being by auction. Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa were
to get most of the animals, the
shipments being over the Northern
Pacific to east St. Louis, where the
horses are sorted, and reshipped. II.
B. w OOd who attended the sale from
here says Miles City was lively, and
the sale attracted buyers from all
over the country. The grounds and
yards used in the sales have been
bought by Miles City and given to
Col. Clark on the condition that he
continue the annual auction sales
there.

GOES SUDDENLY INSANE
WHILE VISITING THE CARNI-
VAL IN THE CITY MISS
HILDA ANDERSON OF VAL
LEY CITY Is BEREFT OF HER
REASON.

Miss Hilda Anderson of Valley City
who has been taking in the carnival
this week and who was staying at
the Capital hotel was removed to
the city hospital Tuesday. afternoon
for care after having suddenly been
bereft of her reason. 1t is thought
by the physicians that the attack is
only temporary and the afflicted
young lady will regain her mind
shortly.
Upon arrival in the city and up un-
til short time before she was taken
from the hotel Miss Anderson appear.
ed to be as sane as anyone In the
parlor on Monday evening the young
lady recited selections from the old
masters in a manner that indicated
long and djligent study and at a
late hour retired. About four in
the morning she came into the
Office Of the hotel and asked the
night clerk for water. She then re-
t ured to her room singing at the
top Of her voice. Later in the day
she was discovered standing on the
bed washing the head board and her
mother and physicians we're sent for.
She had been kept in her room and
the smell of smoke caused entry to
be made which probably saved the
girls life and also saved the hotel
from possible destruction by fire.
She had disrobed and retired and
in some manner set fire to the bed
clothing which was considerably
burned.
Miss Anderson's mother is in the
city and says that she thinks that
the attack is due to over study as she
was student at the normal school
and would graduate the coming
term.

The past week has not been on the
whole, a very favorable one. Heavy
rains fell in most sections, with tenn
perature slightly below the average.
and but little sunshine, and although
some crops on high, sandy soil were
benefited, yet on low land that was
already saturated by previou, heavy
rains, that have been frequent dur
ing the month OF June, crops have
deterioated, and in many instances,
especially in the lower Red river
valley have been greatly injured ana
the outlook there is not promising.
Hail storms were frequent during the
week, but as most of them were not
accompanied by high winds, but lit
tie or no damage was done.
Early wheat is heading out in some
sections, and the crop is as rule, IN
shot blade. Most fields are very
weedy, especially those on stubble
land and fall. ll.plowing, but with:warm-
er weather it is expected that the
grain will purh ahead OF the weeds.
Rye and barley look very good, and
that s0wn early is mostly headed out.
Oats are very promising; the plant
is generally strong and vigorous,
and heavy yield is expected.
Flax is not doing well; the weather
has been too cold and wet for it, and
most of the crop looks yellow, and
fields seem ragged. A period of warm
weather would be OF great benefit.
Corn is backward, as it usually is
at this time of year, but like fax.
with warmer weather, it will make
rapid growth. In some places the
plant looks yellow. the effect of too
much moisture and cool weather.
In the central section the crop has
been cultivated the first time. and
is generally clean and free from
weeds.
Haying has commenced In some
sections. There promises TO be as
good crop as was ever put up, both
Of tame and wild grass.
