Rough on Stokes.

Peter Stokes, who has been mar
-ted only two weeks, has left his
wife. Stokes is a little man and his
wife weighs 24O pounds and was the
relict of the late Seth Thompson.
About ten days after marriage Stokes
was surprised, on waking in the morn
ing. to find his better half sitting up
in bed crying as if her heart would
break.
Astonished, he asked the cause of
her sorrow, but, receiving no reply,
he began to surmise that there must
be some secret on her mind which she
withheld from him, and which was the
cause of her anguish; SO he remarked
to Mrs. S. that as they were married
she ought to tell him the cause Of her
grief, S o that, if possible, he might
lessen it.
After considerable coaxing he elicit
ed the following from her: Last night
I dreamed I was single, and as I
walked through a well-lighted street
I came to a shop where a sign in front
advertised husbands for sale. Think
ing it curious l entered, and ranged
along the wall on either side were
men with prices affixed to them-such
beautiful men-some for n thousand
pounds, ome five hundred, and so on
to one hundred and fifty; and, as I
had not that amount, I could not pur-
chase"
Thinking TO console her. Stokes
placed his arm lovingly around her,
and asked, "And did you see any men
like me there?"
ooh , yes" she replied, "lots like
you; they were tied up in punches
like asparagus, and sold for ten shill-
ings per bunch"
Stokes got up. and went to ask his
lawyer if he had sufficient grounds
for a divorce.

the Northern Pacific. This closes the
trouble on the two transcontinental
lines which has been existing for eigh.
teen days. The polling Of the EN-.

completed Friday night. According
to the best reports obtainable the vote
was practically ar even thing. with
the majority, If anything, in favor OF
a continuance of the strike. The &C.
ton of the Great Northern operators
in voting against a continuance of the

ALFALFA VS.. CLOVER.
Deadly Parallel Drawn Between the
Two Eoraue Crops.


Alfalfa is ready for cutting a full
month before red clover. There is a
strong advantage in dairy farming,
since green crops are needed at the
earliest possible moment in the
spring. After cutting, alfalfa springs
into growth more promptly than Glow
er and a second crop is produced
within six to eight weeks. Glover
lasts two years. and alfalfa ten to
thirty years. In New Jersey the av-
erage yield Of green forage per acre
was 36,540 pounds for alfalfa and A.
600 pounds for red clover. The
weights of dry hay were S,25S pounds
and 4,0SS pounds. and Of protein 2,214
pounds and GIG pounds per acre, re-
'~spectively. In the same state alfalfa
was found to contain 1909 pounds of
dry matter and 265 pounds Of protein
per ton, as compared with 1884
pounds and 246 pounds for clover.
In other words alfalfa not only yields
two and one-half times as much as
sed clover, but its feeding value is
mich greater pound for pound

building a place of worship with his
own hands is the unusual sight pre-
sented at the state capital where the
pastor of a leading colored church is
erecting a brick church for his own
congregation. Left IN endowment
and raising a subscription of $4,000
with which to erect a church home,
plans were selected and bids asked.
The bids submitted were all too high
in the estimation of the pastor, and all
were rejected, the pastor declaring he
would build the church himself. He
donned the clothing of a mason and
has the structure well under way. The
pastor was formerly a brick mason.

SWEEPING REDUCTION IN GRAIN
RATES ON EASTERN SECTION
OF SYSTEM.
MEANS MILLIONS TO FARMERS
REDUCTIONS ARE VOLUNTARY
AND WITHOUT PRESSURE
FROM OUTSIDE.

St. Paul, Aug. %. - An announce
ment of the most vital, widespread
and immediate importance to the
farming interest of the Northwest
was made Saturday night by the
Great Northern railroad. the manage
ment of which decided to make a
sweeping reduction in grain carrying
rates throughout it's eastern territory
as far as Manitoba.
The reductions announced are In
accord with those made three years
ago upon the eastern section Of the
Great Northern.
The order takes effect at once, and
will, it is calculated, save Northwest
ern farmers nearly $1,000, 900 upon the
shipment of this years crop.
The officials of the road
that the reductions are not made in
response to any pressure, but are
purely voluntary, and in line with the
profit-sharing policy between the rail-
road company and the agriculturists
who are developing the rich country
along its lines.
Scale of Reduction.
This reduction of rates ranges from
5 cents per hundred. from the most
distant points, to a half cent from
points nearest the Twin Cities and the
head of the lakes. From Williston,
distant from the head of the lakes
GIG miles. the reduction is 5 cents. On
the Granville branch. the Tower
branch, the line from Rugby to Ant
Ter, the branch from York to Thorne,
the Lakota branch, extended to
Sarles, the rates are cut 8 cents. This
covers an immense stretch of country,
much of it recently brought under cul-
tivation, in North Dakota.
From Minot to the head of the lakes,
from Grand Forks and Fargo and
Hillsboro. on the Hanna line, running
north from Larimore, on the Neche
line and the ST. Vincent line, the re-
duction is 2 cents per hundred. On
the st. Johns line, running from
Church's Ferry, and the Walhalla line
it is 2 1-2 cents, and from Larimore 1t
is / IL cents.
Similarly, in South Dakota there is
a reduction of 4 cents per hundred
from Huron, 2 cents from Aberdeen
and Yankton, and corresponding re-
auctions from other points to Mime
apolis. In Minnesota the new rates
show a reduction of 2 cents per hun
dred from Crookston. Thief River
Falls, Warren and Moorhead, and Of
IL cent for Fergus Falls, Morris,
Breckenridge, Litchfeld, Alexandria
and st. Cloud.
What 1t Means to Farmers.
The meaning of this great boon to
the farmers of the Northwest is some
thing more than would be the winning
of a battle or the signing of some ad-
vantageous treaty. 1t affects the en-
tire grain product Of the granary of
the Northwest. For the same rates
are made by the Northern Pacific, and
must be met by every other line doing
business in the same territory.
1t will reach a saving of at least 1
cent. perhaps IL cents. on ship
ments Of more than 200, O0o, 900 BUSH
els to the primary markets. This
foots up from $4,000 900 to $3,O0O,O 900
that will remain in the pockets of the
farmer, and of this total saving the
Great Northern company, the great
grain carrier of this section. will con-
tribute at least one.half.

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. %. - Ad'
vices have reached here that experts
from Washington will be sent here to
determine if fish can thrive in the
lake. Many years ago Devils lake was
one of the best lakes for fish in the
country. But since the land has be-

FERROUS reason, have disappeared.
Some persons lay it to the change in
the chemical properties Of the water;
others claim that the lake in ~receding
left no grassy slopes where the fish

species Of fine fish, and this is but a

 nora. has completed arrangement for extending and greatly enlarg- ing their trade not only through ont the states of Sonora and Sina-
 loa, but the entire west coast of Mexico. Beside pushing the use of their own extensive line of products they have taken the agency of the Monterey Steel Com pany (Fundidora de Fierro 2 Aceero de Monterey), and the new dyna- mite company now operating under a concession from the federal gov vernment, which has commenced manufacture of all kinds of dyna- mite and nitro explosives. The first named enterprise manufac- lures drill steel, tools, etc., and is protected by high tariff, which with its extensive mechanical facil- ities and abundant raw mater ial makes 1t an important factor in the Mexican markets. Forty tons of their finished pro- duct are now en route to the agency at Guaymas. The dyna- mite enterprise operating under an exclusive concession from the federal government also has every facility for manufacture and high protection, which will give ex- elusive control of the Mexican markets. The Fundicion de Sina- loa has the sole agency for the entire west coast of Mexico, from the International boundary 10 the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Forty tons of dyna- mite from the factory in the City of Mexico are also en route. This extract from Ei Imparcial is of in- terest in that connection.
 The Fu1adicion de Siaaloa have established at Nogales a sub agency with the well known house of P. Sandoval < Co., as their agents. The same house are also customs agents for the enterprise.
