They Got Promoted.

This Is true story of two news
paper men. both of whom have achievd
fame since the occurrence of the in
cident am going to describe. One of
them Is the author of several popular
books and the other is editor-in-c chief
of one Of the big metropolitan dailies.
Prior to all of this, however, they were
reporters, each making about $40 a
week.
The editor of the paper for which
they worked decided one time that he
would try paying space rates, instead
OF straight salaries. but before adopt
Ing the system he made an experiment,
using In the test the two reporters
mentioned.
Well. they worked during the trial
week as they had never worked before.
One of them started popular crusade
that yelled interviews by the yard; the
other worked off feature stories and
news by the ream. with the result that
their strings" at the end of the week
netted $S5 for one and $76 for the
other.
Following pay day the two reporters
were summoned to the room of the edi-
tor. who addressed them thus:
Gentlemen. | am very much pleased
with your work-it's just the kind of
EFFORT we want. and to show my appre-
citation I'm going to promote you both.
Mr.. Smith. you will hereafter be as
sistant city editor at $25 week, and
Mr.. Jones, you will be assistant snort
ing editor at the same figure"
One OF the men said afterward there
was roguish twinkle in the eyes of
the boss as he made the announcement
Also nothing further was heard from
the editor about space writing-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

CROP REPORTS.

Farmers who have begun cutting
early sown wheat in this neighbour
hood state that while the crop will
not be bumper one, nevertheless #
is rafting good crop. So far we
nave heard no estimate of the prob
able yield. but it can safely be said
that 1t will be in the twenties. Own
ers of threshing machines are busy
liking up and getting together crews
with which to run them, and until
they get into action anything like a
definite statement as to the yield in
Ward county this year is simply a
matter of conjecture.
The hue and cry that has gone up
throughout the state for the past two
weeks about the threatened scarcity
of harvest help is not apparent in Mo-
hall at the present time. Every train
brings In number of men seeking
employment in the harvest fields and
farmers are having no trouble in get
ting all the help they need. OF course
harvest has only just commenced, and
it is hard to tell what the conditions
will be in a week or ten days but it
is probable that there will not be a
scarcity of help with which to garner
the crop in this section. Wages be-
ing paid from $3.50 to $3OO.-Mohall
Tribune.

KITE FLYING AS A HOBBY
Heights to Which Men May BE Sent
Tn Into the Air

This year has witnessed remark
able development Of the hobby of kite
flying, which its devotees holly main
tain Is scientific pursuit rather than
a mere pastime.
You would be astonished," declar-
ed Major F. 8. Baden Powell, a we'll
known expert, lat the number of peo-
pie who have taken to kite flying re-
Gently. II were living in suburb
should certainly adopt 1t as a hobby.
1t is a fascinating sport"
The war Office has been making ex-
haustive experiments with man-lift-
ing kites at Aldershot. and has reached
point in the development of the kite
where men can be sent up to the tre-
mendous height Of 5000 feet, practical
ly immune from danger from shot or
shell and in commanding position
for taking observations.
The Meteorological Office also makes
use of the kite in its work. sending up
kites with self-registering instruments
attached, and thereby gaining valuable
information to be used in the weather
forecasts. Bird's-eye photo graphs are
obtained in the same way.
The box kite (the invention of an
Australian) is the type used for high
ascents (the record altitude is 100000
feet), but the diamond shape is still
greatly favored by amateurs.-London

ORCHIDS VALUED AT 6 10000.
Flower Worth Thirty Times Its
WelRhf In Diamonds.

A broad shouldered, stalwart look
ing young man In a blue suit, with
carefully creased trousers, stood near
the orchid section of the Temple
flower show recently, watching with
keen, alert glances the transference of
the precious plant sto the growers
vans. The sentinel's appearance was
unmtstable; he was city plain clothes
detective.
AS the vast bank of orchids, stretch
Ing the whole length of the principal
tent, rapidly thinned, the young man
drew handkerchief across his brow,
and with a sigh of relief, murmured:
THANK goodness! 1t is all over"
For three days he had kept guard
over 100000 worth of orchids, his
place bling taken during the night time
by other watchers. Ingenious pre-
cautions were adopted to battle the dis
honest enterprise of any person who
might be DESTROYS of snatching up a
small fortune In the shape Of a flower
or two. Plants. for example, worth
anything up to 1000 guineas were
purposely placed in the modest COM
pany of orchids closely resembling
them SO far as the untutroed eye could
detect. but valueless in comparison.
"A collection of orchids such as this

doubted If he would accept G15,OOO
for his own individual exhibits. Gases
have occurred" he added, where after
the publication of the description of
some expensive variety of orchid the
plant has been carefully picked ont
from the other exhibits and stolen.
Thoroughout the last two DAYS

The Messrs Sander have won the
gold cup, the gold medal and the
Veitchfan cup.
Fourteen hundred pounds was the
price paid to Messrs. Hugh Low & Co.
by visitor to the show for specimen
OF the Odontoglossum crispum Fearn-
ley Sander. There were only three
flowers. which gives a trife of over
1856 for buttonhole-if any one is
enough of Croesus to wear such a
decoration. This flower. which is
worth times it's weight in diamonds

DRUG HABIT INCREASING.
Fargo Authorities Confronting Serious
Pr0blem-COcalne Most PODular.

Fargo Authorities Confronting Serious
Problem Cocaine Most Popular.
The colony of victims of the drug
habit is increasing rapidly in Fargo
and a serious problem Is rapidly con-
fronting the authorities.
In spite of the stringent law pro-
hibiting the sale of poisons except on
the prescription of a physician, the
unfortunate victims of the terrible
habit In Fargo apparently have no diff
hculty In securing morphine, cocaine
and other drugs In any quantity
1t has been within the past six
months that the dope" colony appears
to have grown most rapidly. While a
few Of the victims have been claimed
from among the residents of the city.
the majority of them are recent ar
: rivals here.
Cocaine appears to be the popular
dope" among the members of the To-
cal colony. most of them being in adj
vanced stages of the habit.
you can tell the dope fiends every
time" remarked druggist this morn
ing as well-dressed woman passed
out of the door, "That woman wanted
i
her 1t was Is cents an ounce and
thereby avoided the disagreeable duty
of telling her that could not sell her
any of the drug. Dope fiends know
very we'll the price of drugs and they
Will not pay an exorbitant price, such
as l just quoted that woman: without
first trying at ever yother drug store
in town."
While there are few victims of the
terrible habit who live in the better
residence portions of the city, on the
north and south sides, the majority of
them have established headquarters in
the hollow district and on lower Front
street.
During the state. fair week the CITY
was fairly overrun with fiends of every
description. They were mostly tran
silent and but few of them remained in
the city after the fair.
II could have sold barrel of co.
caine during the fair week had want
ed TO-" said druggist
With each druggist in the CITY saw
ing practically the same thing, the
question as to where the fiends are &C
tually able to get the dope is one
over which the authorities are now
puzzling their brains-Fargo Forum.

ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY.
Wells County State Bank Entered
Last Week

1t is now believed that an attempt
was made last Monday night to rob
the Wells County State bank of this
place.
Between 1890 and II o'clock pas
sengers 106 and 107 passed here and
there was a freight train in town, and
while on his way home, Fred Paul,
who had been to the station, heard the
burglar alarm in the bank He imme-
diately notified Chief Kane, who, with
several others, went to the bank.
Cashier Volkmann was summoned, and
upon entering the building it was dis
covered that the side door was ajar
and back window up, leading to the
conclusion that someone had gotten
in through the window and went out
the door. Nothing had been taken, the
burglar evidently getting away as soon
as the alarm went of. No trace was
found of anyone at the time nor since.
1t is not known how long the alarm
had been going when discovered. 1t
is thought likely that the same parties
who robbed the Bowdon postofftce Sun
day night were here Monday night

Fears for Safety Of Big Ocean Vessel
Manchuria, Aground.

Honolulu, Aug. 23.-The Manchuria
remains on the reef where she struck.
Anchors are being put out to prevent
her from drifting further toward the
shore. The revenue cutter Manning is
the only vessel now Juggling at the
steamer. The cable ship Restorer,
which has very powerful engines, has
gone to the scene and will render all
the assistance possible.
The Manchuria's compartments have
purposely been filled with water to
make her rest more firmly and pre-
vent further damage. 1t is believed
that she cannot be floated before the
arrival of assistance from the Pacific
coast, If ever.

Alfred E. Bills of Miller s. d. An
Aggressive man.

Alfred r. Bills, who is reported like
ly to take Dowie's place at Zion City,
has performed some extraordinary
feats at his former home at Miller, s.
D. The people there regarded him as
an able financier and honest. He kept
what ne called the poor mans bank"
at Miller and limited loans to 500
each. He ran an account with the
Lord on his books giving the Almighty
credit for 10 per cent and charitable
oopects. Once when the brethren fail
ed to show up promptly at the sunrise
prayer meeting Bills fired off a can
non, which brought the people to
church and at the same time shattered
the church windows.

Street Car Patronage,

Those present at the G. A. R. en-
campment from Grand Forks were es-
pecially impressed with the patronage
accorded the street cars.
On Wednesday, the day of the big
parade, between the hours of in
the morning and II at night the Of
ficials of the Twin City Rapid Tran
sit company registered their number
of passengers at 100000.
Though these figures are almost too
large to believe they are perfectly
authentic.
The fares in such case would
amount to $4,000, an enormous sum.
1t is reported that 10000 motormen
and conductors were employed during
the day on the cars necessary for
the accommodation of the patrons.
