FRUIT PROSPECTS.
Horticultural Authority Says FL berta Peach Crop Is Ruined. Apples Uninjured and Strawberries Abun-
 dant.

Fayetteville, April 20. Col. w. G. Vineenheller, considered an authority on fruit growing, made the following statement to- night.
 "Our strawberry fields are laden with bloom and fruit. We will have an abundant crop. Picking will begin from the list to the 9th of May. This county can give employment to from 10000 to 15.000 pickers. The Elberta peach crop has been practically destroyed. Some other budded varieties and seed lings promise good yields.
 Apples apparently are not in jured. The Ben Davis apple did not have a full bloom, and where trees bore good crops last year the fruit is shy. However, this does not apply to many orchards. Other varieties promise well. Prospects now are for 50 to 75 per cent of a full crop"

GOVERNOR EXTENDS
 OLIVE BRANCH.

Events at the state house We'd nesday, says the Little Rock Ga zette, were indicative of 9 desire on the part of Gov. Davis to bury the hatchet. The governor, although a member of the board of penitentiary commissioners. has n05 attended a meeting of the board since the purchase of the Cuannains plantation for a state convict farm Tn November, 1902. He has not been on speak ing terms with his fellow state officials who are also members of that board.
 The governors presence has also been lacking at many meet ings of the state railway incorpo- ration board, whose business 1t IS to pass upon applications for railway charters. Questions hav- ing arisen as to the legality of this boards acts without the gov ernor present and participating, it was decided to notify the gov ernor and request his attend ance.
 There was occasion for several meetings of the board Wednes- day and the governor was on hand. His mood was pleasant. He smiled and chatted with those who were in responsive humor. He evidently came with the olive branch in his hand. In addition. the governor sent at least one message during the day to a fel- low-board member, inviting him into the chief executives cham bers for a conference which, it was intimated, was to be of a friendly nature. The invitation remains unaccepted, however, and the governor s first days ap- pearance in the role of pouring oil on the troubled waters was not a huge success. Whether the governor will attend the next meeting of the penitentiary board is yet to be seen.

Strange, is it not, that of the Authors who
Publish in England, such mighty Few
Make Success, though here they score Hit
The British Public knows Thing Two
By Revelations of the Past we've learn'd
The Yankee Author usually is burn'd;
ALI of our Writers say the Same;
The London Critic all their books has spurn'd.
I sent my Agent where the Buyers dwell
Some clever Stories of my own to sell:
And by and by the Agent said to me:
"0ne thing sod-that's doing Mighty Well!"
So Heaven seems tame indeed when behold

When Clippings show how Critics scorch me, then
HelPs Roasting seems comparatively Cold!

To please the General Public-now, who gave
To 1T the right to judge, I'd like to know?
Impotent writers bound to feed ITS taste
For Literature and Poetry debased;
Hither and thther pandering strive,
And by Talents disgraced.
The Scribe question makes of Verse Prose,
But what the Editor demands, he shows;
And he who buys three thousand words of drool,
He knows what People want-you Bet He knows!
The facile Scribbler writes, and having writ
No Rules of Rhetoric bother him Bit,
Or lure him back to cancel half Line,
Nor Grammars protests change Word of it.
And though you wiring your Hands, and wonder Why
Such slipshod Work the Magazines will buy,
Don't grumble at the Editor, for he
Must the Public, cen You and 1.
With "Pucks' first Joke, they did the last Life feed,
And there of "Judges' Stories sowed the Seed.
And the first jokelet that Joe Miller wrote

T0-MORROW'S will be worse, perchance;
Drink for the latest Coon Songs floating by!
Drink! the music is Indian Dance!

The first Plantation Ditty gan to roll,
Through Minstrel Troupes and Negro Baritones
In its predestined from Pole to Pole

Depth of Ocean Cables.

There seems to be no logical reason
why cables cannot be laid across any
section OF the ocean regardless of the
depth. Some portions Of the Atlantic
cables now in use are over three miles
below the surface. There is also no
logical reason why you should continue
to suffer from loss of appetite, belching,
aatulency, SOU stomach, headache, in
digestion, dyspepsia or malaria, fever
and ague when Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters~wiil positively cure you. 1t has
cured thousands of other cases, probably
more serious than yours, during its half
century experience, and this, together
with the fact that prominent physicians
never hesitate in recommending it,
should be sufficient reason for urging
you to try it. The genuine has our pri-
vate stamp over the neck of the bottle.

TWO TRAVELLERS SENT TO THE

NUMBER OF MEN DEAD AND MISS.

OTHERS WOUNDED.
BRITISH GOVERNMENT FILES AN
URGENT PROTEST AT ST.
PETERSBURG,

London, Oct. 24.-The Russian Bal
tic fleet, which left Danish waters on
Friday, ran into a fleet of English
trawlers early Saturday morning and
without any apparent cause, as far as
has been ascertained, deliberately
opened fire on them.
AS a result of this extraordinary
action at least one and probably two
vessels have been sunk and several
damaged. Two men were killed out
right and many others wounded.
At the time of the occurrence, 1
q. M, Saturday, the fishing fleet, in
Guiding about fifty vessels, was fishing
about 22O miles east by O th Of Spurn,
when several large vessels came into
view. The weather was fine but slight
ly hazy. The strange ships doomed up
larger and larger in the darkness and
proved to be the Baltic fleet, consist
ing Of about fifteen ships, the depar-
ture Of which for the Far East has al
ready been announced.
Subjected to Fierce Bombardment.
The warships advanced in a line.
Half the squadron passed the fishing
Vessels WITHOUT any demonstration.
The glare OF searchlights suddenly was
turned On the fishing boats from the
second half of the squadron. Then the
stiffness was shattered by the firing of
heavy guns and the Mortified fishermen
found themselves subjected to a fierce
bombardment.
Several vessels were struck and
panic seized the entire feet. Attempts
were made, by burning a green light,
to convey to the Russians the harm
less nature Of the fishing boats opera
tons, but without avail. The firing
continued for twenty minutes, until
the Russians had steamed out of range.
Then 1t was found that several of the
trawlers had been severely injured.
The greatest havoc occurred on board
the Crane. The captain and mate were
found decapitated and other members
Of the crew severely injured.
AS yet it is impossible to discover
the full extent Of the damage, but it is
feared at least one other vessel be-
sides the Crane was sunk. The pre-
else spot of the disaster Is in latitude
66.15 north and longitude SIS east.

Miss Scotield has opened her studio in
the First National bank building and al
ready has a very fine business. The peo-
pie Of Dickinson cannot but appreciate
that one of their home young ladies
should have developed such rare ability
to paint and sketch. 1t is an exceptional
opportunity for the young children to
get instruction, and the PRESS is glad to
know that so many are taking advantage
of the chance.
During the past week Mrs. Lena VAL
pert, 1888 Olive street, st. Louis, Mo-,
has made inquiry as to the fate of Fred
Valpert who was killed in the wreck at
Driscoll on Oct. 2. She reports that
Fred Valpert was her husband and that
he left her and five little children some
time ago. She also states that she had
had no official notice of her husbands
death, which seems a little strange in
view of the fact that a brother from New
Albany, Ind, came to Bismarck and
took charge OF the remains.
