A Wonderful Dancer.

Americans will enpoy a sensation in the way of dancing when the young Russian girl, Mile. Thama de Svirsky, appears. Something less than a year ago the Prin- cess Troubetskoy, better known perhaps as Amelia Rives, met Mile. Svirsky in Italy and saw her dance in the drawing room of a mutual friend. At the request of the princess. her husband, Prince Troubetskoy. the sculptor, made a stat uette of her, which is a beautiful and spirited likeness. It is executed in bronze, and is quite small, and shows her poised for dance, with every atom of her body alert and ready to spring into motion. It Is to be exhibited in the coming Paris salon. and is considered by the artist as being one of the best pieces, of work he has accomplished

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WE'LL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Bismarck People Know How to

Save 1t.
Many Bismarck people take their
lives In their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these or
gans need help. Sick, kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount Of
suffering and Ill health, but there is
no need to suffer nor to remain in
danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can
be quickly and permanently cured
by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is Bismarck citizens recon-
mendation:
Mrs. James Wallace, sos Third St.,
Bismarck, N. D., says; ''My husband
had occasion to use Doan's Kidney
Pills two months ago and the good
results he obtained warrant me In
recommending them. For some
months he suffered from a severe
pain through his back which at
times radiated~ to- all parts OF his
body. Finally he learned Of Doan's
Kidney Pills and procured a box at
Lenhart Drug Co. The results were
very gratifying and in short time
he received a complete cure"

Others Cleaned From Our Exchanges
WRECK FATAL TO n D. MAN OATS MAKE A fine CROP
Adams County Farmer Comes to the
! Front With a Yield Of IS Bushels
Per Acre-More Than Paid for the
Land With the First Crop - Crop
Sold to Railroad Contractor.

Hettinger, N. D., Sept. 14.-H. RI.
Collicott has threshed his field of oats
near the city containing 120 acres
from which he received 1900 bushels
of No.sl oats. He sold the crop at
80 cents per bushel, receiving in all a
total of $2,340. The oats yielded an
average of IS. bushels per acre and
selling at thirty cents per bushel the
return from eash acre of land was
$3.50. The crop from the entire
field was sold to Macintosh Bros,
railroad contractors, at the price
above stated, Mr.. Collicott receiving
the full amount in cash.
In other words the crop grown on
this tract of 120 acres was, when con-
verted into cash, practically sufficient
to buy 120 acres of Adams county
land, Or to put it another way, such
a crop will pay for the land upon
which it is grown. And again if Mr.
Collicott had held his oats until next
spring, when it will undoubtedly be
at least forty cents a bushel, he could
have, realized more than the cost of
the price of the land.

road, nor any way of reaching a
railroad EXCEPT over long stretches
of half-broken prairie trails and
across one Of the three treacherous
rivers, the Missouri, Little Missouri,
or Yellowstone is the situation in
Mckenzie county, North Dakota. The
county has settled UP. rapidly this
year and a large area has been sown
to crop.
There are no elevators nor ware
houses in which to store the big yield
that has resulted and in only a few
instances, with lumber $40 thous-
and, have the homesteaders been able
to build granaries.
Much of the grain is being left in
piles on the ground where it is
threshed out and will have to remain
there until the farmers can get it
hauled.
The county is nearly as large as the
state Of Connecticut and almost com.
pletely hemmed in by rivers.
The majority of the homesteaders
are distant forty to sixty, miles from
a railroad. Fifty bushels of wheat
is all team can carry over the bad
roads and several days will be re-
quired for each trip.
Some of the farmers expect to be
on the road from now until winter.
The loads will be ferried across
the rivers on fatboats which are run
on cables suspended forty feet above
the surface of the water. -,

RED RIVER VALLEY LOSES
Wheat Crop Will Be Smaller Than a
Year Ago - Average Of the Valley
Will Be 12H Bushels Per Acre
Some Spots Where There Are Good
Wholesome Disappointed.

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept 14.-The
wheat crop Of the Red river valley
now being threshed will be less than
that of last year and the quality low
er, according to estimates of wheat
men who have been making a close
investigation of the situation, as is
shown by the wheat coming from the
threshing machines. The results of
threshihg generally are very disap-
pointing, although here and there
large yields are being reported Fur
Their west, with the exception of sew
eral Of the northern tier of counties,
the situation is different and the av-
erage yield larger, while considerable
territory has been added to the wheat
raising territory in the northwestern
part of the state which is returning
large yields.
A large proportion of the thresh-
ing, in the valley is already done, the
southeastern part of the state being
practically faished. Further north
many of the farmers are stacking
their grain and in Grand Forks county
less than twenty per cent of the
threshing remains to be done. I'm
Walsh, Penn bina and Cavalier counties
about two-thirds of the threshing is
completed. A careful estimate from
a large number of returns places the
yield OF the valley counties at twelve
and one-half bushels per acre. Far
Their west the average will reach four.
teen or fifteen bushels, although the
data IS not SO complete. The south
west corner Of the state will average
about eighteen bushels The acreage
OF the state is placed at 1000, 900
bushels. Fully one million bushels
was damaged to a greater or less ex-
tent, large proportion of the loss
being total. An average of six bush.
els per acre for hail damaged area is
considered conservative. The re-
mainder six million acres will average
1917 bushels or an aggregate of 70
million bushels, and total of 4,O0o,-
900 bushels, an average of twelve
bushels.

will only send in samples of the
seed. If they will send in one hun

they will receive {. proper answer

Big Tomatoes on a City Lot.

Kansas City, Kan.-E. NJ Wiggin
manages to raise fine tomatoes on a
small plot of ground in this bustling
city. The picture shows Mr.. Wiggin
and one of his mammoth Amazon
vines which is II feet, 1 inches from
the ground to the extreme tip.
This vine was full of great toma-
toes and the top full of blossoms on
October 4th, 1908.
A large number of tomatoes on the
other side of the vine cannot be seen
in the picture. Mr.. Wiggin writes
that some of these tomatoes measured
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-06-02


in circumference, and many weighed
from two and a half to three pounds
each.
They were smooth, red, and with
out the hard, green core most large
tomatoes usually have. No special
cultivation was given the vines ex.
cept to make the ground very rich.
Some CT the shoots were pinched off in
the early growth of the plants.
The way Wigin explains his process
of giant-tomato culture follows About
the middle of April he plants the seed
in holes is inches or two feet deep.
AS the plant grows he lamps earth
mixed with stable refuse about the
stalk until the hole is completely
filled.
The tomato, Wiggin explains, is the
product of South America, where it
grows to the height of 20 feet in the
damp and warm morasses along the
Amazon River. To accomplish the
best results, then, it would seem nee
essary to have the temperature about
the plant evenly warm and moist The
decaying manure furnishes the uni.
form warmth and holds the moisture.
ANY one can grow enormous toma-
toes" says Wiggin, "if he will take
up the work and then try to initiate
the conditions the book says were en-
joyed by the original plant. That was
the way | did, and these are the re-
suits"

ERIE WON'T ISSIE BONDS.

statement:
The company has disposed of the
balance of the Sl5,000,O00 of per
cent. collateral gold notes which in
April, 1908, were authorized to be
issued for the purpose among other
things of refunding obligations of
.he company maturing on or prior
to July /, 1909. 1t is therefore pro-
posed to proceed with the refunding
Of such obligations and accordingly
to purchase the coupons and other
obligations OF the company maturing
on or prior to July |, 1903, and to
pledge them as additional collateral
under the indenture of April S, 1909,
securing said notes"
This will provide amply for the
rompany's present cash requirements,
and in view of the marked improve
ment in the earnings of the company
! il is believed that it will not be nee
essary now to proceed with the plan
of funding later coupons. of the
general lien and general mortgage
convertible bonds by an issue of
| collateral trust twenty year gold
bonds, as recently authorized by the
Public Service Commission of the
