The CROPS.-The most discourag-
ing news reaches u regarding the condi-
ton of the crops in this section. The hot,
dry weather for the past several weeks, has
had a most serious and damaging effect on
grain of all kinds, and our farmers hardly
expect to realize half crop, where a full
average one was promised three weeks ago.
Chinch bugs and ct her insects are working
badly in the wheat, and many pieces are
turning yellow ready for the reaper, wit h.
out being properly filled. Oats, usually
hardy crop, are also being more or less
affected by the drought and ravages of in
sects. Many fields of corn lock far from
favorable, but, with the right kind of
weather, it may yet prove a fair crop. Not
withstanding the bugs have not ravaged
the potatoes IS much as expected, the great
want of rain at this time must necessarily
make the crop short. We are certainly no
alarmist, but must acknowledge that the
present appearance of things have most
dishearten;ng look for our farmers

FLIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF NEW
YORK LIFE; or, THE SIeHTs AND SBNsA-
TIoNs OF THE GREAT City"
work descriptive of New York City in all
its various phases. Its Splendors and
Wretcheduess Its High and Low Life; Its
Marble Palaces and Dark Dens It's Attrac-
ton and hangers; 1t Rings and Frauds /;
Its Leading Men and Politicians Its Adj
venturers It's Mysteries and Crimes. By
James D. McCabe, Jr.
What Paris is to the Frenchman, or Lon
don to the Briton, New York is to the
American. 1t is not only the Metropolis,
but it is the chief attraction upon this con
tinent, the great center to which men and
women resort for both business q nd pleasure
and as such is a source of never-failing in
terest, Of late years several attempts have
been made to reproduce its varied attractions
in book form. The most successful result
of these efforts is the book now before US.
The author has had unusual facilities to see
every feature of the great city, and has Writ
ten the work with an enthusiasm Whlcn IS
apparent in every page. He has not merely
produced q sensational story, but has given
us a record of actual facts, of which he Is
personally cognizant.
The book is as fascinating and absorbing
rs novel, and were it not for the evidence
he furnishes, we should be tempted 10 De-
lieve that he has carried US into the realm OF
fiction. He tells US the history of the great
city which has grown to be the most re-
markable in America, and relates its old
traditions with zest and humor. de intro
duces US 20 all classes of people, ana inltl-
ates US into their ways and manner or lie
He brings us face to face with great mer-
chants and bankers, actors, editors, working
women ballet girls, thieves, gamblers, sail
ors, quacks, fremen, and host OF others
He delights us with his sketches of the bet
ter and brighter side of city life, OF the ge-
MUS enterprise, charity and humanity OF
the great city, and appals US with his thrill
ling accounts of the darker and more ter
rible side of the life be is delineating.
A truthful picture Of New York life can
not be otherwise than deeply interesting.
Our author has succeeded admirably in his
task, and we predict for his book large
sale 1t is brim full Of useful information,
brilliant and fascinating and an emphatic
warning against the vices of the city. 1t is
lure and lofty in tone, and while it discuss
es fully many of the darker sides of city life,
it does so with delicacy and candor. An
interesting feature of the book is power
fully written history of the Tammany Ring
frauds with sketches of the actors therein
1t is comprised in one large octave
volume of $50 pages, illustrated with nearly
200 fine engravings of noted places, life and
scenes in New York, and published by the
National Publishing Co.. of Chicago.
The low price at which the work is issued
brings it within the reach ofall, and no one
who wants to know New York as it really
is, should fail to buy this book. 1t is pub.
lished in English and German, sold by sub
scription only, and agents are wanted il

THAT Excursion -Notwithstand-
ing the intense hot weather large number
of our citizens were induced to participate
in an excursion last Thursday to Devils
Lake Gotten up under the auspices OF the
Methodist Church Society of Sun Prairie,
our people very naturally concluded that
with such an escort journey to any por-
ton of the Satanic dominions could be
made with perfect security and com fort.
in this case! Our frail pen would fall far
short of the mark in attempting to describe
the miseries and woefulness of the trip. No
proper arrangement had been made for pas
senger coaches and the excursionsts were
huddied and thrown together in box cars
gravel cars, freight cars, and cattle cars,
nearly all of which were unprovided with
seats, unless we except the large seat on the
second floor, known as the top. These ex-
halted positions were at premium during
the journey, and those of the party who sue
cessfully scaled the cars and obtained sit
ting considered themselves in the zenith of
their glory.
The train started from here about 7
o'clock, although the departure was an
nounced for clock, and DEVILS Lake was
reached at y O'Clock, about three hours
later than expected. This gave the excur-
sionists only about one hour and half at
the Lake to rest and partake of their din
ners Along the route hundreds had to be
left for want of cars, and the feelings of
these persons can better be imagined than
described, when it is understood that they
had purchased their tickets some days before
conveyances to take them on their journey.
The whole affair from beginning to end was
a disgrace, and one of the worst impositions
ever perpetrated on a lot of people, and it is
not to be wondered at that imprecations
loud and deep were heaped upon the heads
of those accountable for the transaction
But happily ne accident occurred during the
excursion to jar upon the otherwise out
ragged feelings Of the party.
We understand that considerable money
was made out Of this trip to Devils Lake by
private individuals. they must have
feathered their nests pretty well, as but a
small portion of the amount received went
into the hands of the railroads The means
of transportation secured for the excursion
lists hardly kept pace with the number oil
tickets sold, which was the principal trouble,
and the result was a badly sold crowd

INTELLIGENCE OFFICE. - NJ essrs.
Woodland & Hull Commission Merchants,
have established an intel ligence office at
their place of business in McMillen Block
West Side, where those wishing for an Y
kind of help can be supplied, and any in
search of employment can be informed
where to obtain it. The want of an intelli-
gence office has, we believe, been long felt
here, and the enterprise of MessrS. Wood
ard & Hull in supplying the deficiency
should meet with encouragement. See
