State crop-Sumn1ary.

Below we publish the last of the
weekly reports of the condition Of the
state crop, as prepared by Observer
Bronson, of the U. S. weather bureau,
at Bismarck. Mr.. Bronson has been
careful and energetic in his work, and
his reports are said to have been
proved to be very reliable. They have
enabled farmers and business men in
every section of the state to keep in
touch with the actual condition of the
growing crops from week to week
throughout the entire state:
"Thc past week has been generally
favorable for all farm work. Light
showers fell in nearly all sections
Wednesday, but were not, heavy
enough to do more than delay work for
that day, except in the Red River
! valley, where the ground is still so
wet that it is difficult to get on it in
some places.
Harvesting is finished, as Il rule.
Only some late forage crops and flax
yet remain to be cut. Wheat is all
in the shock or stack, as. but little of
it has been stacked. Oats are mostly
all cut and tlrashed, as are rye, speltz
and barley.
"While some of the early flax has
been cut, still the bulk OF it remains
uncut. Some few fields are still very
green and will require considerable
good weather yet to fully mature
them. The crop is reported unusually
good in most sections, particularly
in the southern portion Of the state,
where more of it was put in this year
than ever before.
"rhrashing is in progress mall Sec
tions, but not much of the whea l.
has been thrashed yet. What has
been thrasled generally shows very
disappointing yields, especially as t.
grade, there being a great deal OF
smut in most sections, except where
the seed was treated before being
sown, that being usually quite free
from 1t. The cropis also poor in those
sections where the rusted seed OF last
year was sOwn.
.COrn is mostly out OF the way OF
1frost, although some THAT was planted

A Miraculous Escape.

The above heading also sounds some
thing like the title to patent-medi.
cine ad. But it isn't--not by long
shot. 1t is intended to call attention to
the account of happening that came
under the EDITORS observation as he
was on a Milwaukee train cn route
home from Denver, last Saturday
night about $50 o'clock.
The train was running at IL good
clip-about forty.tive miles an hour.
The engineer whistled at a road cross
ing, and then the engine gave Il
prolonged screech. The emergency
brakes caught the wheels and the
train Came to sudden stop. The
trainmen passed through the cars
rapidly to the rear Of the train. In
reply to questions they said that a
horse or horses had been thrown from
the track, and that it appeared that
the animals were harnessed. Passen-
gers and trainmen went back about
hundred yards from the rear of the
train. There they found team OF
horses lying some distance from the
track, badly torn and mangled. They
had been instantly killed, portions Of
the flesh and blood of one or both Of
them having smeared the pilot of the
locomotive. Close up to the track
was a covered buggy from which. two
men had just alighted. When the
train struck the horses the tongue Of
the buggy broke near the vehicle, and,
while the horses we're instantly killed,
the buggy was not injured at all.
The men said the first they knew Of
it the train rushed upon them, sweep
ing away their team, leaving them
selves and the buggy uninjured. One
Of them was an elderly man, and lie
was quite angry at the loss. The
other was young man, who appeared
to be the old mans son. He took a
different view of the matter, and was
pleased that they had escaped with
their lives. The accident took place
about half way between Redfeld and
Ashton, thirty-fve or forty miles east
Of Aberdeen.
| Probably, in Il Thousand such acci-
dents, a team hitched to a buggy
could no be killed without killing OF
injuring the people riding in the
vehicle.

the thrashing- machine.

The Grand Forks Plaindealer says
that the crops in the Red River
Valley are disappointing. That pa

Wouldn't it be good idea for the
eastern part of the state to get their
seed from the Missouri Slope next
spring? The grain raised here this
year is unusually plump and would un-
doubtedly raise vigorous plants.

THOSE visitors who attended the
Grand Army cncampment at Denver
last week were agreeably surprised by
the magnitude OF the affair. Denver
is a long distance from the center Of
population in the United States, and
it was generally believed that for this
reason there would not be as large an
attendance as usual. But the railway
rates were unusually low, and this,
coupled with tie fact that Denver is
the starting point for many excursion
trips to the mountains, caused the
city to receive crowd of visitors esti-
mated by the Denver newspapers at
about one hundred and fifty thousand,
number equal to the resident popu-
lation of the city. The writer has at
tended seven national encampments,
and we never before saw a city in
which the encampment was held so
beautifully decorated as Colorado's
metropolis was decorated last week.
The walls of the buildings were al
most completely hidden by flags and
bunting, and at night the electric H.
Illumination was simply grand. There
was, too, an absence Of graft on the
part Of hotels, restaurants and other
business places, and food and lodging
were kept at normal figures. There
were some thirty-three thousand in
the Grand Army parade, with over one
hundred bands and drum corps. The
streets, windows and roofs, as we'll as
the immense reviewing stand, along
the line Of march, were densely packed
with people, and the greeting to the
''old boys" in the line was enthusias-
tic in the extreme. While South Da-
kota had about three hundred old SOL
diers and sailors in line, North Dako-
ia had only thirty. This state is ham
dicapped in encampment attendance
by the fact that North Dakota is the
one state where harvest has not been
finished when an encampment has
been held. A large majority of Grand
Army members in this state are farm
ers, and, as much as they wish to go,
they dislike to leave while harvest is
in progress. However, whatever may
be their numbers, the delegation from
this state always receives rousing
welcome along the line of march.
Each man carries a small sheaf of
wheat bound with red, white and blue
ribbons, and wears a cockade and a
"buttonhole bouquet" of the same
kind of grain. But the chief feature ol
the North Dakotans at each parade is
Comrade Briggs, of Wahpeton. He is
in his eighty-eighth year, and is re-
markable for his likeness to Uncle
Sam as that parsonage is usually
printed or painted. Comrade Briggs
has long hair and pointed beard Of a
silvery white, and, with his uniform
made on conventional lines, he surel!
looks like your Uncle Samuel as yo,
have seen him pictured.
Great satisfaction was given to the
old soldiers generally by the election
of James "Corporal', Tanner, Q
New York, to the position ofnaJiona
commander.
Next year the ncampment will b
held at Minneapolis. This "bein
close to. home," there will be a bi
crowd from North Dakota In attend
ance.

danger, from the wearing OF these fringe

this would be done now at the factory
