PRAIRIE GRASS.
Written for Thi Farmers' Aixiakce.
The swaying blue-stem shakes Its golden
powder down.
And drifts of yellow dust are floating here
and there,
A thousand 'dashing tremors, tawny, red and
brown.
'Till 1 wonder prairie grass ceuld ever be so
fair.
I listen to t'ue murmurs soft as a silver luto.
Sweet melody chat lures me far from tie
busy crowd;
Tie waving pointed ccnes, each like a shep
herd's flute,
Re-echo now the summer's harp light as the
misty cloud.
On all the emerald billows I find t'ae crowns
of gold.
Where tluy jewels tremble, so lightly are
they huug.
And other beaded sprays their crimson glories
hold,
While everywhere this azure morn the
mower's song is sung.

SOME STABTLING JIGUEES.
Europe's Shortage and America's Sur
plus Id Cereals At Least Sl.SO aud
I'robably S3 Per Bushel Is Prom- jQ
Ised Later in the Season.
St. Pacl, Sept. 11. Theodore M.
Mueller, editor of The State,. the Alli
ance newspaper organ ct the northwest,
has issued a second circular following
upon the suggestions of the first, with
figures and arguments in support of the
proposition that wheat is bound to ad
vance to $1.50 or $2, and farmers should
profit by it. One million copies of this
circular are being mailed, besides the
60,000 copies of the current issue of The
State, in which the circular is reprinted.
The circular opens with the statement
that the farmers will be saved millions
of dollars if the advice given in the
document is followed. Alliance secre
taries are instructed to give the circular
as wide a distribution as possible,
while newspapers are requested to pub
lish the same. Continuing the circular
says:
Europe's Shortuge.
"We do not believe a majority of the
farmers are foolish enough to co-operate
with the speculators to depress' prices
further. There is no question but
prices will take a turn upward in a few
days. The shortage in Europe cau now
be figured with accuracy. About
week ago a congress of grain-dealers
irom all parts of Europe met at V lenna,
Austria, and computed figures about
the crops in Europe., These figures are
the highest - which well-informed re-
Dutable men could furnish, for. if in
famine year like this they should give
lor the crop of any one. country lower
figures than circumstances justified, the
government of that country would cer
tainly remonstrate. It is surely the pol
icy of Europeans not to exaggerate their
disaster. .The fignres of "the Vienna
congress show that Europe raised 258,
000.000 bushels of wheat and 490,000,000
bushels of rye less than last year. Last
year it consumed all of its ' own wheat
crop and at least 50,000,000 of reserves,
100,000,000 bushels . imported ; from
America, all that other countries could
supply, and all its rye crop.. -. This year
it will have from America liiO.OOO.OOO
bushels more than last it we take the
extreme figures which any : reputable
authority has made tor our really splen
did crop. .v,v;" V.-. ..
'- "It will have as usual what other
countries suppiv, which is insignificant
out it will have 74S,uuu,ouu bushels less
of its own crop and 50,000.000. v bushels
less to be drawn ' from reserves. In
short, it will have 120,000,000 ; bushels
extra from America to make up a de
ficiency of 798,000,000, and. must conse
quently eat 678,000,001) bushels lew
grain.
Higher Prices for Wheat. "'-
Rye being dearer in : Europe than
wheat, the latter becomes a substitute.
and is equally affected by deficiency in
rye or wheat supply. When it is en
tirely certain that Luropeans will have
to economize in bread to the extent of
678,000,000 bushels, and when the sit
uation is aggravated by the partial fail
ure of the potato crop, it is to be con
sidered what prices they would pay for
American wheat. The shortage in
Europe being four times as large as the
American 'surplus, there is no doubt
that the price of wheat will reach the
highest figure ever known before this
year is up and will exceed it by far be
fore the new crop conies in.
The talk that for si wheat m Chicago
is a high price under present circum
stances is absolutely idiotic, for the
average price in England being $1.41,
no one in Europe dares expect to eat
wheat 21 cents below an average price
this year. Wheat will soon be over
$1.50, no matter how much farmers and
speculators work together to keep prices
down, and we would advise those who
can comprehend the situation to hold
their wheat for $1.50 and add for every
month they keep it say 5 cents to the
price. Hold your wheat. You cannot
get left."
Jockey Club and Pool Kooms.
New York, Sept 15. The battle be
tween the Brooklyn Jockey club and the
city pool rooms began in earnest yester
day. The association erected high
fences all around the tiravesend track.
so as to shut out the view which was
formerly had from the tops of the sur
rounding houses. The pool room men,
however, rose to tne occasion, and
erected on the top of the highest of
these buildings a tower from which
they could look over the fences into the
track. Mr. Dwyer will play his trump
card today, and the pool rooms may as
well give up tne right, tie intends to
withhold all entries from the newspa
pers. This will hurt the attendance
somewhat, but President Dwyer's aim
is to break tip the pool rooms and this
last step will probably prove effective.
All of the pool rooms in this city were
in full blast in the afternoon, being able
by means of the tower to get the re
sults. The news from the tracks came
in a little slowly, hut this did not deter
the putrons of the rooms, which had the
regular attendance.
Federal and State Courts Conflict.
Dallas, Tex., Sept. 15. The state
court instructed Sheriff Lewis and
Receiver Maroney to hold on to the
Texas Trunk railroad and not to turn
it over to Receiver Dillingham, as or
dered Saturday by the United States
court. He also instructed them to ap
ply to the United States court for Dil
lingham's dismissal. The conflict be
tween the state and federal courts is
likely to lead to trouble.
A nogusMhit In Kansas.
Kansas City, Sept, 15. A gang of

bles, acid, met.-.ls, etc., usually used by

FELL BY THE WAYSIDE.
nominee Growing Out ef the Park
Place Disaster.
New York, Sept. 15. -At the time of
the Park Place disaster, Sherman Cnra
min. a popular "comp" on The Mail
and Express disappeared, and as he was
known to be a patron of Peterson's res
taurant in the ill-fated Taylor building,
the conclusion was reached that he had
perished. His wife haunted the ruins
for days ana at lengtn wen tinea one or
the recovered bodies as the remains of
her husband. The body was taken to
her home and buried with due cere
mony. Mrs. Cummin received $ 1,000
from the mayor's relief fund and then
moved from the home in which she and
her husband dwelt in order to find for
getfulness. Mrs. Cummin received a
message which took a load off her heart.
It was dated at Halifax and announced
that her huSband was alive and well
there and was coming home as fast as
steam could carry him. It also stated
that on the day of the disaster he started
for Peterson's restaurant, but fell by the
wavside and entered a saloon instead.
He was soon in a condition in which he
neither knew or cared what he was do
ing, and when he came to his senses he
found he had snipped on a sailing vessel
bound for Halifax, which place he
reached Sunday.

7:30 o'clock when the party reached the
spot where the ties were placed on the
tracks. Howard says that all of the
men were armed, and pointing their re
volvers at him, they compelled him to
aid in nutting the timbers across the
rails. He attempted to run away and
warn the trainmen, wnen tne roDuers
threatened to shoot him if he moved.
