Io-Night's Theatre Attraction.

1t is hardly necessary to introduce the
famous Mahara Brothers to the theater
going public as they have always been
high in their estimate as tirst-class pur-
veyors OF minstrelsy and rag time opera
for the past sixteen years. This year,
with a new palace car, twenty-five color
ed artists, a magnificent complement of
scenery and costumes, striking electrical
effects and a combination of speciality
artists, dancers, eccentric comedians,
novelty artists and sweet-voiced singers,
Mahara Brothers seem to be able to
substantiate their claim that they have
reached the acme Of minstrelsy.
At the Langaon opera house two
nights this week, Wednesday and
Thursday, August 4th and 9th. Prices
30 and 10 cents. Reserved sears on sale

After this everything went fine with an
occasional home run by one or another
Of the married men until about half
past one o'clock when Steve Soper on
trying to steal second got into a mix-up
with the second baseman. But owing
to the being hidden by a cloud at
the time and also by the temporary
absence of the umpire, we are at this
time unable to tell what the decision
might have been. After the dust had
cleared and the moon had re-appeared
from behind the clouds it vas found
that Steve had met with disaster. The
game closed without further incident.

Footing the Panama Canal Bill.

FOOClnS CnC EanaLna canal Bill.
Authority was provided long ago for
the issuance of bonds in order tc
ma canal; hence the recent raising of
the authorization to almost treble the
original amount introduces no new
principle into the canal problem. The
initial cost of setting the great IN
dertalling going-that is, the payments
to the French Canal company and to
Panama-WaS paid out of funds In
the treasury with the understanding
that bonds would be issued to defray
Ing the burden over the wears. Tho
present plan is to issue bonds for
$3.50, 100000 in all and turn back into
the treasury from the proceeds OF
their sale the $5Q.000,000 expended at
the outser.
But for the large deficit in the treas
ury the increased bond issue might
not have beer thought of at this time.
No would seriously propose n halt
in canal construction. The treasury
needs the money it has already paid
out on the canal, and the estimates
for the total cost of construction have
been doubled since the issue of $780,
100000 of bonds was authorized. The
questions of whether the larger issue
shall be for IL short time or a long
time and the rate of interest are In
volved with difficulties in the tinan-
cial sphere, but the authorization
shows that the digging is to go ahead
ven though the outlook is less rosy
than we would like.

North Dakota cattle were recently
sold at the South ST. Paul stock yards
Mt 81. This is the record price for
that market. They were bred in c5tuts-
man county 10y S. r. Corwin. The cat
tie averaged 500 pounds when placed
on feed and l,236 when sold in st. Paul.
This show, what The North Dakota
farmer can do and IS doing. The re
greet rs that more Of chem are not doing
it. This beats even dollar wheat. No
state in the Union can ralse higher
grade live stock than North Dakota,
and in few can feed stulfs be grown so
cheaply.

REMARKABLE STATISTICS.

A. F. Hit, of Weiser, special sta
tistical agent for the United States
department of agriculture was a
visitor in this section the first of the
week.
Mr.. Hit gives some quite remark
able statistics regarding the crops of
last year; figures which were avail
able to all, but which have perhaps
been overlooked by many readers.
The report on spring wheat for Min
nesota, considered the greatest spring
wheat state in the Union, and for
Idaho, was the same-85 per cent of
a normal crop. But while Minneso-
ta's S5 per cent yielded 1878 bush
els per acre, Idaho's corresponding
short crop was 25.5 bushels, or prac-
tically double the Minnesota yield.
Washington, the same year, was
ahead of Minnesota, with an average
of Is bushels per acre; and Oregon
was yet better, with 1875 bushels.
But Idaho was SO per cent ahead of
the best of the others. In winter
wheat the same conditions prevailed,
though the per centage was soewhat
less notmiceable, Idaho having 80
bushels, Oregon 1872 bushels, and
Washington 24.2 bushels per acre
difference of only rs per cent in
favor of Idaho over the strongest OF
its competitors.
Mr.. Hit, who was foyrears at the
head of the state horticultural de.
partment, is a practical farmer, and
farmer for a quarter of century al
Weiser. He gives some interesting
statistics regarding corn in Idaho. II
all his experience, he never failed but
once to raise as much as 40 bushels
of corn to the acre, and that time i
was because he did not follow his so
Der judgment as to the best variet!
to plant. He has raised up to II
bushels to the acre. The Idaho corr
weighs out an unusual percentage o
shelled grain to the bushel, Mr.. Hit
: cob that the standard corn of tn
7 East. The flint corns are the bes
for Idaho, Mr.. Hit finds, thougl
!, some of the dent varieties are beinI
8 developed by careful selection unit
]. they are reasonably safe for this cool
s night country. 1t may be recallei
3 that corn grown near Boise, carrie
i OF some of the highest prizes at tn
a National Corn Show at Omaha, las
v December. Idaho has not been cor
j sidered typical corn state, but MI
+ Hit believes that some day it wi
: raise more corn than most Idahoan
ever saw or dreamed of.
