KANSAS CROP REPORT.
mint Is Short. But Corn Promises to
Break the Record.
Topeka, Kan., June 22.—The Kan
sas board of agriculture to-day issued
a report on the state's present crop
condition, deduced from observations
made by its regular correspondents in
practically every township in the state
and Secretary Coburn thinks the show
ing is in many respects one of fine
prospects as compared with the report
made May 1. The report is as follows:
Winter wheat—Previous estimates
indicated the area sown to winter
wheat as 4,084,137 acres, and May 1 it
was believed that 53 per cent of this
would be harvested. Present estimates
are that about 37 per cent, or 1,406,701
acres will be cut and the average yield
8.24 bushels per acre, or a total of 12,
332,333 bushels. The largest average
yield per acre for a county is 15 bushels
m Wyandotte. Allen, Coffey, Doniphan
and Phillips report 13 bushels per acre
and 33 counties an average yield of 10
bushels or more.
Spring Wheat—Of spring wheat 65
per cent of the acreage will be har
vested, or about 86,000 acres. The
yield is set down at 773,000 bushels, or
an average of nine bushels per acre
for the thirty-two counties in which it
is reported growing. The highest
average, sixteen bushels, is figured
from Phillips county; nineteen coun
ties report a probable averge of ten
bushels or more per acre, and indica
tions of the quality are medium or
good. There is but a single exception
as to the qual ity. >
i/orn—11 is corn,me crop overs nadow
ing in acreage, value and importance
an,' other which Kansas produces,
wherewith the state now promises to
exceed by far the best of its wonder
ful previous yield records. The area
now reported planted is 8,410,018
acres, or an increase of almost ten per
cent of the estimate May 1, and also
an increase of 1,417,741 acres, or more
than twenty per cent, over the largest
ever before planted, which was 6,993,
207 acres, in 1888.
Oats—The rains have worked a very
notable change in the condition of
oats, causing them to head and fill
much better than seemed possible May
1. although the straw will be unusu
ally short. The yield promises to be
not less than twenty-five bushels per
acre, or a total of 32,000,000 bushels of
‘•medium” to “very good” grain—the
largest output since 1802.
Chinch bugs have been more or less
numerous and industrious in Atchison,
Chautauqua, Cherokee, Crawford,
franklin, Labette, Montgomery, Sum
ner, Wabaunsee and Woodson, but re
cent rains must inevitably check their
injurious work, and also strengthen
plant growth to better withstand their
assaults.
Rye—Rye was sown on 165,040 acres,
of which 51 per cent, or 84,935 acres
will be harvested and yield ten bushels
per acre. Quality “medium” to “good.”
Barley — There is 124,000 acres of
barley growing, or 11 per cent more
than in 1894. Present conditions com
pared with 100 as a full average is 76.
Potatoes—Irish potatoes have an
areage of 123,250, which is an increase
of twenty-three per cent, or 23,140
acres over last year. This, excepting
that of 1888 (126,185 acres), is the
largest area ever given to potatoes in
Kansas.
A Fatal Elevator Accident.
Kansas City, Mo., June 22.—In an
elevator accident at Swift & Co.’s
packing house Robert Quinn received
injuries from which he afterward died,
William Burran was seriously hurt and
Bart Wren was stunned. The acci
dent occurred in the express depart
ment about 5:15 o'clock, and was due
either to the defectiveness of the ele
vator or the carelessness or inexperi
ence of Quinn, who had charge of the
machine .
Large Sums Due Indians.
Washington, June 22.—J. Guthrie
of Coffeyville, Kan., who has been
here some days looking after financial
matters in which the Cherokees are in
terested. left yesterday. He has been
trying to hasten payment of Si,200,000
to the freedmen of that nation and
SI 86,000 to the Shawnees and about
the same amount to the Delawares.
The usual difficulties have been en
countered in getting accounts au
dited. a
The Iron Sheet Scale Settled.
Pittsburg, Pa., June 22.—The con
ference between the wage committees
of the Amalgamated association and
the iron and steel sheet manufacturers
ended by signing a scale to run from
July 1 to June 30 next year. A sliding
scale, based on the selling price of
sheets, was adopted, instead of the
old base of the selling price of bar
iron. The workers are to get two per
cent increase on every ten per cent ad
vance in the price of sheets. This in
sures work for 20,000 men.
Their Salaries Levied On.
Topeka, Kan., June 22.—Joseph
Speer, according to a story told by him
to a morning paper, was compelled by
Labor Commissioner Bird to give up
a part of his salary allowed to him by
statute as a clerk in the commission
er's office. The appropriation for his
salary is $1,000, the same as the com
missioner receives, or 883 1-3 a month.
Speer says Bird required him to give
up S16.0ii a month of it, and that Au
gusta Bays, whose salary is 8800 a
year, must give up a like amount.
The matter has been laid before Gov
ernor Morrill.
Methodists laf a Corner Stone.
Clinton, Mo., June 22.—The corner
Stone of the first M. E. church of this
city was laid yesterday with impress
ive ceremonies.
Did Not Hear th* Train.
St. Joseph, Mo., June 2.—The Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific east
bound train, in charge of Conductor
Sumner ran over and killed a man
about a mile this side of Horton. The
victim of the accident was about 55
years of age and was identified as a
resident of Horton named Holmes.
He was absolutely deaf.
For Murder In the Second Degree.
Wichita, Kan., June 22—The jury
in the Barney Gibbons wife murder
case returned a verdict of murder in
the second degree. A motion for a new
trial will be heard next Wednesday.
SILVER IN THE WAY
A LONG FIGHT IN THE LEAGUE
CONVENTION.
Friend* of White Metal Determined—A
Compromise Address Proffered. Which
the Silver Champions Antagonise—The
Matter Referred to a Sub-Committee
With (Inly Two Free Coinage Members
~What Was Offered bj the Man from
Oklahoma.
The Contest Is Over Sliver.
Cleveland. Ohio, June 21. — The
committee on resolutions of the Re
publican national league organized
yesterday, with Congressman Robin
ion of Pennsylvania as chairman and
H. 0. Knowles of Delaware as secre
tary. This was against the silverltes,
but they at once began a fight. A re
cess was taken for two hours, when a
subcommittee of nine was appointed
to hear all sides. The compiomise res
olution, which attracted the most at
tention, was presented by Senator
slect J. M. Thnrston of Nebraska, as
follows: “We approve the declaration
of the last Republican national con
vention, ‘the American people from
tradition and interest favor bi
metallism, and the Republican
party demands the use of both .gold
and silver as a standard money, with
ouch restrictions and under such pro
visions to be determined as will secure
the maintenance of the parity of val
ues of the two metals, so the purchas
ing or debt paying power of the dol
lar, whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equaly, and refer
the action for a more specific declara
tion to the next Republican conven
tion, which alone has the power to
bind the party or make platforms and
declare principles.”
it was alter two o clock tnis morning
when the subcommittee adjourned.
Mr. Blackwell of Massachusetts pre
sented a resolution inclining very
strongly toward the gold standard, and
numerous other resolutions expressing
all sorts of views on the money ques
tion followed in quick succession. Sen
ator Dubois of Idaho and Mr. Allen of
Utah fought like tigers for free coin
age, making vigorous speeches, which
were listened to with close attention.
They spoke for free coinage at 10 to 1,
without waiting for the co-operation
of any other nation.
The sub-committee resumed its ses
sion early after breakfast. The prop
osition of the anti-free coinage men
was modified into an address that
would prevent the silver men from
preparing and offering a minority re
port. Senator Dubois and Allen of
Utah had to be satisfied. The sub
committee appointed Dr. Robinson of
New York, Senator Dubois of Idaho
and Mr. Harkless of Missouri as a
committee to revise the address.
The revision committee reported to
the subcommittee at 10 o’clock and the
discussion on the silver issue was re
sumed. The subcommittee, however,
announced that it would report to the
full committee at 2 o’clock.
As soon as it became known that a
compromise in the shape of an address
on the financial issue was being fig
ured on, nearly everyone started to
work for this plan with a view to pre
venting such a fight in convention as
there was in the committeee on reso
lutions.
The Tennessee delegation met be
fore the convention and decided that
the new South had not been properly
brought to the front before the con
vention as other sections. A resolution
was adopted requesting ex-Congress
man William 11. Moore to prepare an
address to the Republican party of the
United States, to be delivered to the
convention, setting forth the claims of
the South to a fuller recognition by
the party.
General McAlpin, the prospective
president, was robbed before daybreak
of his gold watch, diamond and
money.
Among th6sc accorded an ovation
on entering the hail to-day was Gen
eral Asa S. Bushnell, Republican can
didate for governor of Ohio, who sat
as one of the Ohio delegates.
WARNER MILLER MAKES A TALK.
When President Tracy called the
convention to order at 11 o'clock the
first thing done was the appointment
of Senator-elect Thurston of Nebraska,
H. Clay Evans of Tennessee, ex-Gov
ernor Prince of New Mexico, Messrs.
Goodnow of Minnesota and Buck of |
Georgia to wait on ex-Senator Warner j
Miller of New Xork and invite him to
address the convention. Then the
committee on credentials reported in
favor of seating both delegations from
South Carolina. This was adopted.
On the report of the committee on
rules the rules of the Reed house and
the Denver convention were adopted.
Warner Miller then addressed the
convention. Mr. Miller appeared with
a brilliant McKinley badge on his
lapel and, in referring to the absence !
of those who were expected to be j
here to sound keynotes, he said he I
would wear that badge till he reached i
the New York state line on his return I
and there he would be for the Empire !
favorite. I
As the committee on resolutions was ;
not ready to report an opportunity was ‘
given to all to offer resolutions which
were referred without debate, lieso- |
lutions poured in on the Cuban insur- j
gents, Hawaiian republic, the. Ar- .
menians and all other foreign subjects.
Mr. lilackwell of Massachusetts ■
offered a resolution favoring the right
of women to vote at all elections, anil
congratulating the women of Colorado
and Wyoming upon their possession of t
the elective franchise, lie also offered
a resolution arraigning the adminis
tion for its Turkish policy. Mr. ;
O'Driseoll of Maryland offered a rcs'i
lution which he said would change the
Democratic states. It provided fora
protective tariff, reciprocity, honest
elections, gold, silver and paper on a
parity, and an aggressive foreign
policy.
Mr. Frank Greer of Oklahoma of
fered the following:
1. \Ve demand the free and unlimit
ed coinage of the American silver
product with a prohibitive tariff on
the foreign product modified by finan
cial reciprocity laws. ^
2. We are opposed to the single gold
standard inaugurated by Grover Clevo- ;
land and the Democratic party at the j
dictation of England. We believe in
absolute bimetallism—the monetary
system established and maintained bT
the Republican party—gold, silver anil
paper circulating upon a parity—one
dollar the equal in all purchasing and
debt-paying functions with every other
dollar.
3. We beliove in a tonnage tax, in
addition to the regular protective tar
iffs on all goods entering our ports in
foreign vessels, that the American
flag on an American marine may com
mand supremacy upon the seas, dis
i'laeeil by the blighted monopoly by
England of the world's ocean e&rrying
trade.
ANGRY STUDENTS.
Governor Altgeld Hanged and Burned
la Effigy for nn Obuoxlone Order.
Bloomington, 111., June 81.—The
state board of education, in session at
the State Normal university at Nor
mal, by a vote of 7 to C passed a reso
lution abolishing the high school de
partment of the Model school, which 1
had been connected with the Normal
university since it was founded.
This action is alleged to be the re
sult of a suggestion from (lovernor
Altgeld At midnight the bell of the
university began ringing violently and
a mob of students and citizens assem
bled, many students wearing black
robes and maslcs,many blowing horns,
and all denouncing (lovernor Altgeld
for the order. All proceeded to the
campus, where there was an effigy of
the governor, and held a mock hang
ing.
After the effigy dropped it was burned
amid groans. All next went to an
open grave and there, after a funeral
oration by a masked orator, interred a
coffin supposed to contain “A Model
High Scnool, aged 33, which reached
an untimely end through Altgeld.” It
was after 3 o'clock when the crowd
ceased yelling.
ONFESSED THE MURDER
Gilward Anderson Telia How He Murdered
Swan Peterson.
Erie, Kan., June 21.—Edward An*
ierson, the man under arrest for the
nurder of Swan Peterson, made a full
sonfession to-day. He says he had
been staying at Peterson's house for
several days previous to the murder.
->n the evening of June 5 he followed
Peterson to the barn and there slew
aim with a hatchet, and afterwards he
had thrown the body in the manger.
He searched the house, but found no
•noney or valuables, except the clothes
■n the trunk, which he took, together
with Peterson's team and wagon,
which he sold and which led to his
irrest. Robbery is the only motive
given. There is fear of Anderson be
ing lynched, but a heavy guard is kept
iver the jail.
McKinley Addresses Old Soldiers.
Ottawa. Kan., June 21.—The stai
attraction at the Chautauqua assembly
to-day was the address of Governoi
McKinley of Ohio to the old soldiers on
“Patriotism.” The exercises in the
park, conducted by the Rev. D. C. Mil
ner, president of the assembly, began
at 9 o’clock with a concert by the Sol
diers’ home band and the assejnbly
chorus. At 10 o'clock Attorney Gen
eral Dawes addressed an audience of
8,000 people. While he was speaking
Governor McKinley appeared on the
platform and a few minutes later Gov
ernor Merrill arrived.
Then the G. A. II. day began and ex
Governor George T. Anthony, as presi
dent, took charge.
Governor McKinley read his address
from manuscript. When he arose it
was some time before President Anth
ony could restore order. Mr. -McKinley
wore a closely buttoned Prince Albert
coat and a seanding collar, and looked
the picture of fresh and vigorous
health. The speech was of a non
partisan character

JOSEPH’S FOOT-WASH 1NQ.
Th* Curloua Ceremony of Holy Week
In Vienna.
On Holy Thursday, at Vienna, tha
Emperor Francis Joseph performed the
annual ceremony of washing the feet
of twelve old beggars, says the New
York Sun. The ceremony took place In
the hall of ceremonies In the imperial
palace. On a platform raised slightly
above the floor was a long table with
twelve covers, a plate, knife, wooden
spoon, folded napkin for each, with a
piece of bread, a pewter mug. and a
little blue pitcher filled with water. At
10 o'clock, twelve old men, the young
est 89 and the oldest 96, entered the hall
and were supported, each by two rela
tives, to the platform, which they
mounted with difficulty, and were
placed In their seats, their relatives,
most of them women, standing behind
them. Then entered twenty knights of
the Teutonic ordtor, headed by their
master, Archduke Eugene, dressed In
white with long black crosses on tho
breasts of their doublets and others on
the back of their long black cloaks.
They marched around the hall, and
then, forming a line on either side,
made way for the ministers, with Count
Kalnoky at the head, and the em
peror’s staff. They were followed by
the primate of Austria, Cardinal
Orttscha, with priests and acolytes
bearing candles and burning incense.
Thed came the emperor, dressed In the
white uniform of an Austrian general
and wearing the order of the Golden
Fleece. He advanced to the table and
addressed a few words to the old men.
At a signal from the master of cere
monies twelve guardmen stepped for
ward, each bearing on a tray the flrat
courae of the sumptuous repast; the
emperor now took off hts helmet,
gave It to an officer, and, passing down
the line, arranged the dishes before the
guests. Twelve archdukes then an
proacbed and removed the Barmecide
banquet from the guests eyes, handing
the dishes to the guards. This was
repeated for thro'e courses, and with
the last, the plates, knives and other
objects on the table were also taken
off. They were all packed later, with
the food. In wooden boxes, and sent
to the homes of the old men. The
table was then taken away, and the
“washing of feet” began. A priest ap
proached with a towel and golden
basin full of water; their slippers were
taken from the old men’s feet, and the
emperor, on kls knees, beginning with
the oldest, moistened his feet with
water and dried them with the towel.
Without rising, still on his knees, he
passed on to the next one, and so on
to the end of the row. When he had
finished he rose and placed around each
man’s neck a chain, attached to which
was a small white bag containing thirty
pieces of silver. That ended the cere
mony; the emperor and his suite with
drew, and the old men were taken home
by their friends.
A COUPLE'S ADVENTURE.
Short of Fond*, hot the Gentleman Was
an Able Financier.
Among the throng on bicycles speed
ing between Ridgewood and Tuxedo
on Saturday afternoon were a little
couple not yet in their teens, says the
New York Sun. The little lady manip
ulated the wheel to perfection, and as
they passed along they looked even
more interesting than the beautiful
country about them. They had halted
at Ramsey’s, had cream and confec
tionery, and had resumed their trip
when rain began to fall. Here was a
dilemma the youth of 11 had not cal
culated on. Rain meant railroad fare
back to Ridgewood, for In no circum
stances could the young lady be allowed
to get wet. They hastened to the first
railroad station. The youth saw the
wheels housed and then fished in his
pockets for funds. The little treat at
the saloon had absorbed nearly all his
cash, but he arose to the occasion and
In a confidential way whispered to the
ticket agent that if two could ride on a
whole ticket that cost less than two
half tickets he thought he had suffi
cient funds to buy one. Then, to his
dismay, the lad discovered he was 2
cents short even of the price of one
whole ticket. He so informed the
agent and asked for credit for that
sum, promising to reimburse him at
another time. The agent looked at the
worried face of the little girl and hand
ed him out a ticket.
A Worried Farmer.
A farmer who has been studying
agricultural Journals writes the editor
of an Ohio paper that he is stumped.
He says he reads in one Journal that
a side window in his stable makes a
horse’s eye weak on that side. An
other paper tells him that a front win
dow hurts his eyes by the glare; those
on diagonal lines make him shy when
he travels; one behind makes him
squint-eyed, and a stable without win
dows makes him blind. The farmer
wants to know whether there is any
place outside the heads of those edi
tors where he can hang his windows.

Just previous to the big boom in oil
a gentleman who knew the condition of
affairs and was certain that prices
would go away up, went to a friend,
who had more ready cash than knowl

“Friend John, the price of oil is going
to go up, so I would advise you to buy
10,000 barrels.”
“Buy 10,000 barrels of oil?” was the
astonished reply of the man addressed, j
who looked as if he thought his friend
was crazy; “why, 1 don’t use a barrel In
a year.”

laid upon him and resigned hie position
jnore than two years ago, and returned

Being a man of means he did not
spare the cost and was treated by lead
ing physicians and by batha of cele
brated springs without receiving any
beneflt worth notloe. During the sum
mer of 1893 and the winter of 18M Mr.
Clough was confined to hie house In
Belchertown. being unable to rise from
hie bed without assistance, and suffer
ing continually with acute pains and
with no taste or desire for food, nor was
he able to obtain sufficient sleep.

heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People. He began taking these
pills about the first of March. 1894. and
continued to do so until the flrst part of
September following. The flrst efTsct

began to note more ability to help him-’
self off the bed and to be better gen

The mother of Julia Kavanagh wait
woman of great intellectual power and
unusual force of character, but even
when she was 80 years old she was
ashamed of her age. One day she went
with her French maid to the cemetery
at Nice, to visit the tomb she had erect
ed to her daughter. The two were
standing beside the stone when the
maid innocently read the inscription.
Julia Kavanagh had then been dead
seven years, and her age, 54, was of
course, recorded. “Madam must be
very old,” remarked the maid. “Old!”
exclaimed Mrs Kavanagh; “why
should I be oldv What do you know
about my age'.*” “Mademoiselle was
54 when she died,” continued the girl,
“and she has been dead some time.
Therefore, madam must bo very old”
Mrs. Cavanagh said nothing, but next
day she sent a mason to the cemetery,
and had the tell-tale figures removed.

A number of extracts from an amus
ing Japanese “Life of General Grant”
will be printed in the July Century.
The book was written and circulated
soon after General Grant's tour around
the world, but has become very rare.
The author has the admiration for the
soldier and statesman—this Heaven
bestowed wise man”—and he expresses
it with true Oriental impressiveness.
He pictures General Grant at the head
of his troops, “shooting a glittering
light from the midst of his eyeball,
lifting up his sword, raising his great
voice like a peal of thunder.” The
illustrations are characteristic. The
“Assassination of Lincoln” represents
the martyred president struggling in
the grasp of five men with up-raised
daggers
