very much. We have heard II number
Of Farmers express more anxiety
about their wheat in the last week or
go than they felt at any time before
harvest Itseems hard to contemplate
this continued damage; but there's no
help for it. We have made arrange
ments with different persons, in vari-
Gus parts of the County, to report for
us the actual yields Of wheat in their
Notwithstanding the number Of acres
cut on each farm, the kind Of land,
the actual yield per acre upon thresh-
ing, and the wcighto Of the grain. And
we Will be very glad if other Farmers
also, to whom we have not spc-
cially spoken about the matter,
will send us such reports from their
localities, from as many fields as may
be. With such data, from different
parts of the County, one can readily
find what our wheat will really be

Two PELLA ITEMs.-A young man
named Sell Atherton, Of Abba, was
arrested in the latter town last week
charged with stealing some property
from DIR. Wilkins, Of Pella. The sto-
len property was found i'm Atherton's
trunk; but Van Bennett, Mr.. Lundy
Of Abba, and Others, declare their be-
lief that the property was put into
Atherton's trunk by ether persons,
without Atherton's knowledge, and
that he is innocent.-This item from
the Alba Union of last Thursday.
The City Council of Pella passed an
ordinance requiring that all trains on
the ID. V. Railroad running through
Pclla should go through tho town not
faster than six miles an hour, and
should ring their bells ut all crossings
and blow their whistles at all cattle
near the track. Thereupon the en-
gineers of the Road were instructed to
keep their whistles blowing while in
hearing Of the town. The result Is
that such uncarthly whistling has per-
