Poor old rock-ribbed republican Maine. At the last election tion there the democrats elected everything in sight, including the legislature, and a democrat was sent to the U. S. senate. Now with the death of Senator Frye, the state will have two democrats in the senate, some-? thing no one would have ever dreamed of happening in the “Pine Tree State.”

NORTH DAKOTA LETTER. Hamilton, No. Dak.. Aug. 7. Mr. F. E. Babcock:—As you did not get up in time last Friday to see me off, I thought I would write to you and let you know that I like this country fine. All through from Chicago to Hamilton bumper crops. All along the road as far back from the railroad as the eye can see are farms and fields and fields of shocked or waving grain. In Wisconsin farmers are stacking their grain now. Through Minnesota they are cutting, and In North Dakota some are finishing haying and some are already cutting. The rest of the farmers are getting ready to harvest their crops which are simply great hereabouts. To show some back there that tried to discourage me coming by telling me there would be no work, I would have to send back for money to get home on, etc., will say that I have been already offered S4O per month and board or $2.50 per day and board until it freezes up, which they say hereabouts will be about four months hence, by three or four, different men, and I, just arrived yesterday noon. If anybody from there wishes to come here to harvest I could find places for several, as some have asked me why I did not bring some more fellow's with me' to work. I am going to work for Mr. Davisson here at Hamilton through harvest and threshing. I went to Hamilton this morning with Mr. Davisson to get repairs for his binder. While there the dealer informed us that he had sold two different men 2,000 pounds of twine. Mr. Davisson ordered about 800 pounds. He also said he had a carload of twine on track to be unloaded this afternoon, so you can see that there most be some grain around here. While at Hamilton this morning I met Thos. Brusnahan, who was cutting wheat today which he says is good* He has about 500 acres of small grain. Some more Rensselaer people are Dawson Norman. Will Yeiter and John Murray, all jof whom seem to be well pleased whh the country. I have tried to write everything just as I found it and do not exaggerate it in the least. Trusting that this .finds Jasper county all O. K., I am Respectfully yours, JOHN TRULLEY.
