Washington, July 1O.-The papers
show that the heat wave continues
and that rain is worth about a dol
lar drop in a large portion of the
west. | know too we'll what it is
doing and what the wheat gamblers
will do. The man will be fortunate
who can sell at the top of the mark
ct this year.
Whether Norton has captured the
nomination for secretary of state
does not yet appear. Norton has a
shrewd old father who was an early
settler at Bartlett. With apologies to
Fred Kelley, let me attempt to tel
the story Of Pat Norton's encounter
with the wheat buyer. The grades
were not satisfactory and Dick Walk
er, the elevator agent, insisted that
he was giving the best grade he
could, that he had been losing grades
right along and the company held him
responsible for it.
Losing grades is it," said Pat
Now Dick Walker, knew you when
We first came to Bartlett. Ye hardly
had hat to stand under or a pair of
breaches 70 cover We. Now look at
yer fine clothes. Its losing grades
suppose that gives them to We. And
| mind that old shanty We used to
live in. now look at yer fine house.
Ye got it losing grades of course.
And | mind the broncho ye used to
ride. Now look at your fine team.
And We got that, no doubt, losing
grades. And We couldn't borrow a
clint until We commenced to lose
grades. Now look at We. Losing
grades. Losing grades all the time.
Poor Dick Walker, who will pity We
when We get to be millionaire, los.

! think it was Pat Norton who had
a few sacks of the best wheat North
Dakota ever produced-it may have
been Pat, and Dick Walker was not
the buyer. He threw a sack of this
fine old number one on the top of
his load and it was inspected and
called frosted. This was in 1888,
when the farmers lost grades because
it was too cool in August. In 1889
and 1890 they lost because it was too
hot. and in 1891 because they had
so much wheat the fellows who had
gotten rich on these lost grades could
not handle the surplus.
Samuel G. Brossius, who was at
Bismarck with Captain Pope of the
quartermaster department, and who
married the widow of the late Gov
ernor Briggs, Mrs. Nanny Briggs,
committed suicide Friday and was
buried today at the old home at Han
cock, Nd, where he was born and
bred. He was a royal fellow, with a
slight impeachment in speech. a COM
petent engineer, and for long time
popular in the army. But his health
failed. He went to Hot Springs and
finally to Fort Bayard. But his ill
health continued and he gave up the
fight. Mrs. Br0ssius will remain in
the city a short time and then join
her daughter, now Mrs. Pope, at Mon.
