GREAT IRRIGATION SCHEME |
Arid Land in Dakota to be Reclaimed
by a Canal.
A syndicate of Dakota capitalists, including
a dozen or more millionaire residents of
Bismarck, Grand Forks and Jamestown, has
been organized to develop a new canal scheme
that will reclaim upward of 5,000,000 acres of
arid and now useless land in North Dakota.
The idea is to construct a canal from the
Missouri River at Bismarck, 1668 feet above
the level of the sea, to Lake Traverse and ,
Big Stone Lake, 900 feet above the level of
the sea.
This canal would run through a section of
country in North and South Dakota that
is in great need of irrigation. Lateral canals
are to be constructed by the various counties.
and hundreds of thousands of acres of
arid land reclaimed, while the present cultivated
country will be wonderfully enhanced
in value.
The fall of the canal will be suflcient fco
keep up a steady current when properly protected
By locks and dams.
This canal would make an easy water
course to St. Paul and Minneapolis, and for
that matter clear to the Gulf of Mexico if a
few million dollars were expended. It would
also tend to reduce freight rates on wheat
for export and on imported raw materitu.
Tho coal mines of Western Dakota would
also be easy of access, The canal, it ia estimated.
would cost ??,000,000.

KILLED FOR A SLAP.
Judge Terry Shot After Insulting
Justice Field.
Tragic Sequence to a Famous
California Divorce Case.
A dispatch from San Francisco, CaJ., says:
One of the most sensational tragedies that
ever startled the people of the Pacific coast
occurred during the morning at Lathrop,
a small town on the Southern Pacific
Railroad, a few miles from Stockton,
in San Joaquin County. David S. Terry,
ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
California, slayer in a duel of United States
Senator David C. Broderick, assaulted
United States Supremo Court Justice
Stephen J. Field is a public dining room at
the railroad station, and was shot dead by
United States Deputy Marshal David Nagle,
who was traveling as Mr. Field's body guard.
The shooting occurred in the presence of
about sixty or seventy people, and created a
scene of the wildest excitement. The cause
of the shooting was the well known quarrel
existing between Judges Terry and Field,
which grew out of the latter rendering a decision
adverse to Sarah Althea Hill, plaintiff
in the famous Sharon divorce case, who during
the litigation became the wife of Terry.
Dispatches from Lathrop, CaL, state that
upon the arrival of the Southern overland
mail at 7:20 a. m. Justice Field and Marshal
Nagle walked into the dining-room for breakfast
and sat down side by side.
Judge David S. Teny and wife, who figured
in the Sharon divorce case, came m
also. They were going to another table when
Mrs. Terry recognized Justice Field, and immediately
retired to the train. As soon as
she had left the dining-room and before she
had reached the train. Judge Terry walked
over to where Justice Field sat, and, stooping
over him, slapped his face.
Deputy Marshal Nagle thereupon arose
from his seat and shot Judge Terry through
the heart. While he was falling Nagle shot
again, but missed Terry, the bullet going
through the floor. Both shots were fired
within a few seconds and before any one
could interfere.
Whether Judge Terry's intention was to
provoke Justice Field and draw a weapon before
the latter could turn is, of course, not
known, as Deputy Nagle, who sat opposite
Field, prevented this by firing, his first shot
resulting in the death of Terry.
After the shooting Deputy United States
Marshal Nagle backed up against the wall of
the dining room and warned every one not to
arrest him, saying he was a United States
officer in the discharge of his duty. There was
no semblance of an attempt to molest him at
any time. Constable Walker took Deputy
Nagle from the train at Tracy and proceeded
witn him to Stockton, where he is now in
jail.
District Attorney White ordered the arrest
of Justice Field upon his arrival at San Fran- |
cisco, and telegraphed the order to tie Sheriff
of San Francisco.
Justice Field man tamed his quiet demeanor,
and replied to a press representative,
when askea to narrate the particulars of fhe
shooting, as follows:
"I can tell you the story in a few words.
For the last few months all manner of reports,
both public and personal, have reached
me that Juage Terry had threatened to subject
me to some form of indignity, if he
should happen to meit me. This fact caused
the Dnitea States Marshal to decide to provide
such protection as he could during my
stay in this State. When I started for Los
Angeles to hold court, Deputy Nagle accompanied
me. He seemed to be a quiet gentlemanly
official, though I only met him twice
whilo away from Los Angeles. He asked me
in that city when I intended to return, and
accompanied me, taking a seat in the sleeping
car opposite to me. "We heard this
morning that Judge Terry and his wife were
on the train,but paid no attention to the fact.
"When we arrived at Lathrop, we entered
the eating station to get breakfast. I took
a seat at the en d of the table, while Nagle
sat on one side of me. Terry and his wife
came into the room soon after. As soon

afterward learned, returning to the car for
her satchel. Judge Terry rose and I supposed
that he intended accompanying her. instead
of doing so, he walked back to me, and

was making ready to strike again, Nagle
cried out 'Stop, stop,' but Terry

his batting, base-running and coaching abilities
in consideration, and he is way on top.

THE COUNTRY'S CROPS.
August Report of the Department
of Agriculture.
The Condition of Corn, Wheat,
Potatoes, Barley and Cotton,
The August crop report of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington makes the
condition of corn 94.8; spring wheat, 81.2; j
spring rye, 95.4; oats, 92.3: barley, 90.6;
buckwheat, 95.2; potatoes, 94.8; hay, 94.5;
tobacco, 84.4.
Corn has made an improvement during the
last month of 41-2 points, and is now less
than one point lower than at the same date
last year. The August return of condition
has not stood up more than one point
higher during the last nine years, '
and the present return has been equaled
but three times during that period.
The improvement is quite generally distributed
throughout the country, following
favorable growing weather and sufficient
rainfall. In a few States, especially along
the Atlantic coast, the condition has been
somewhat reduced from excessive rainfalls
ind local floods and overflows. The general
average for the seven surplus States is 95,
against 90 last month and 96 for August,
Spring wheat has suffered a further falling
off during the month, the decline amount
ing to nearly three points. Condition is now
nearly three points higher than in 1887
and one above that of 1886. "With
these exceptions it is the lowest
since the very small crop in 1881. Minnesota
records some improvement since
last report, but in Dakota there is a further
decline from the same causes noted last
month. Dakota is now the largest spring
wheat State, and the very low condition
there reduces the general average. The quality
of the crop will be better than usual, especially
in the extreme Northwest.
Rye and barley each decline one point, the
falling off being mainly in Nebraska and
Dakota. Condition of oats while two points
lower than reported last month, is higher
than August of any year since 1885. In many
sections the crop has suffered from heavy
winds and rains about harvest time, and the
next report may show damage from **?<?
cause not yet appreciated. Potatoes have
maintained their nigh condition of a month
ago, and now stand one point higher than at
this date Inst year. Tobacco has fallen off
materially on account of excessive rain.
The condition of cotton is 89.8, an advance
of nearly two points during the month.
Since 1880 this average has been exceeded
but three times, m 1882, 1885 and
1887. Damage wherever reported
is attributed to excess of moisture and consequent
inability to keep the crop clean.
Some fear is expressed of too heaw a growth
of stalk, rendering injury liable should dry
weather set in.
BOPLANGEB FOUND GUILTY.
rhe Fugitive General Convicted of
Conspiracy and Treason.
The State Council of France has annulled
the elections in twelve cantons in which General
Boulanger was recently elected to the
Councils-General on the ground that
the General was not legally eligible
to the position. General Boulanger
has written a letter,' in which he
states that he gave the sums of monoy which
he is accused of embezzling to the chief
clerks in tho War Office, to bo used for the
relief of widows and orphans of soldiers.

in Paris on Jnly 15,1887, the day on which, it
is alleged, he visited the city in disguise.
The Senate Court during the afternoon
found General Boulanger guilty of conspir?he
court also found Dillon and Rochefort
guilty of complicity with BooLcaiger in his
plots.
They further decided, by a vote of 198 to
10, that Boulanger was guilty of treasonable
actions against the State in connection with
the Lyons depot incident.

TO PEOHTBIT THEATING AT SABS. 'fl
The measure which is pending in the Legia- fl
lature of a Western State to prohibit treat- B
ingatbars, isapraisworthy one. This treat
ing practice is something which should be J|
broken up as soon as possible. There is no i
intent on the part of the framer of the bill to
stop drinking. The bill merely forbids treating
by the wholesale. This is, indeed, a very
foolish custom. One or two men will enter a
saloon. There they are introduced to four or
five more, then the treating begins and goes
the rounds. Each man has to pay for tike
drinks for all, and each man arinks'mor*
than is good for him. The treating has to be \
done, because public opinion with its Idiotic
gauge brands tne man who refuses to treatfu
a 6habby fellow. There is no getting out of it
unless the man has the moral courage to bid
defiance to public opinion and to withstand
the contumely of nis associates. There is
nothing to be gained by this bibulous practice.

IT IB MON8TBOT7S EVIL.
The evils of intemperance are so manifest
and so monstrous that the State is compelled
to recognize them, and to take action against
them in its own defense. Tho State is concerned
in the welfare not only of its own
communities, but of every family and individual
under its dominion. The influences
which tend to undermine health and shorten
life, to cripple labor and prevent thrift, to

clearly hostile to the State, and it Is the dutr
of the State to suppress them as far as possible.
The life of the humblest individual is as
sacred as that of its most honored citizen,
and the State is under obligation to provide
all possible safeguards not only against all
attempts to destroy it, but against all epidemics
and plagues and sources of disease.
The State has the same solicitude for the
moral welfare of the citizen. In shorty the
State not only has the power to provide for
the public safety, the public health,
and the .public morals, but it can
not, as we have already shovm
by citations from decisions of the Supremo
Court of the United States, "divest itself" .of
that power. The very purpose for which
government is organized is to exercise it.
The State in its care for the public health
prohibits the sale of impure and unwholesome
