CROP PROSPECTS.


There is but one report from South
western Minnesota, Northwestern
Iowa, Northern Nebraska and South
ern Dakota as to crops. The promise
is magnificent, and if no injury is done
to the wheat, an average of twenty five
to thirty bushels to the acre is expected
in many counties of this area. It is
said that the area sown is third larger
than usual. Along the line of the ILL.,
nois Central, we hear that the prospect
is also unusually good. Notwithstand.
ing the grasshoppers, therefore, we
have good reason to anticipate such a
crop in the West rs has rarely been
raised.
In the Eastern States, however, the
prospect is not so good. During GU,
recent absence, we conversed with gen.
tlemen who were just from the East,
and they informed us that in New
York, Pennsylvania and other States
the crop prospect is not as good rs usu
al. With the splendid promise in tn,
West and the present rise in wheat
which will probably he permanent, tn,
outlook is certainly encouraging fo]
western farmers.

What An Iadian Says He Saw 1T the

As anything calculated to throw light

About the time Of the murder Tom Wis

he says he saw Ter with shirt in his
hands, the sleeves of which were COW
cred with blood, and that Rover tore off
the bloody sleeves and destroyed them.
A report to this effect was circulated
shortly after Rover was arrested, but as
the Indians evidence .euid not be taken
in the Courts no att, nnon was paid to
the matter. It was Also remarked that
about the time of the preliminary exam
nation Rover appeared to be very snx.

could be taken against white man IN

indicates tho ruth of the Indians story.
At the time of the examination q bundle
of clothing, said to belong to Rover, was
offered in evidence by the prosecution.
but as it had been forwarded by express
from Mill City here. and had been out
of the possession of the Sheriff, it was
objected to by counsel for the defense
and tho objection sustained by the ex-
aiming magistrate. The bundle, how

WATEE IL WAsHoE VALLEy.-The
farmers in the vicinity Of Franktown are
getting excited about the increasing
scarcity of water in Washoe Valley. The
amount of that sparkling fluid in the
valley has been considerably lessened by
the demands made upon it by the Vir-
ginia and Gold Hill Water Companies,
the Union Mill and Mining Company
and tho Marlette hume. We cannot see
what right those companies have to come
into that valley and run all the available
water, which belongs of right to the
farmers, off into the flume or ditch and
convey it into another county, and We
hope the farmers having begun to re-
alize the subject. will take the proper
action in the matter.-Nerddd Democrat.

INA BRIEF EDITORIAL on the subject
u Gorhan's speech at Union Hall on
the 22d inst. the Phoebe Record says:
Where will We find an ADLER fnancier
than Alexander Hamilton or shrewder
statesman than Aaron Burr! Their
hasons were public talk and matter Of
common scandal, but We fail TO see how
il interfered with their ability. To be q
great man does not necessarily require
the possession of the domestic virtues
that are requisite for private happiness
and the home circle, but to attempt to
make political capital out of Booth s
alleged fondness for the pleasures of
the flesh is about the most despicable
zen could engage in.
This is as dishearteEing as it is as
founding. When our great moral e1-
emplars and teachers thus hasten to ad-
NIT away the necessity for purity of
personal character in our public ser
wants, whittier shall We turn? II was
saddening to the sensitive moral heart of
society when the Bulletin admitted that
Bidwell might steal big ranch and
still be an acceptable character for Gov
ernor of California; but when Mr.. P.
Hollands paper tells the reading public
that o man may be ibertine and still
remain the model of reform, we are
deeply discouraged. We cannot doubt
that this article was written without Mr..
Hollands knowledge and that ere this it
has received the condign apprehension
of that severe and inflexible noralist.

pointing Prince Alexandra d. WoSram

have met those Of de Cassagnac in Paris
to arrange the duel. They claimed thas
as their principal ia tho insulted party,
be has not only the choice of weapons
but the right to determine the dis
lance, and then demanded that the
men meet with pistols. at five
PAGES, and shoot at the word OF
command. NJ de Cassagnacs seconds
said this was simply murder. for when
the arms OF the combatants were ex-
tended, the muzzles Of their weapons al
most touched. II. Rochefort's aids re-
fused to admit these objections. They
said their principal, considering the i'm
portance Of tee case. had been very par
ticular about the conditions. The friends
of Cassagnac then proposed that the dis
tance be thirty PAGES; that each com
Blatant be allowed to advance five steps
after the word is given; that the time OF
firing be optional. and the shooting con-
tinue until one falls. Rochefort's
seconds declined this, and the matter
rests there.
A subsequent dispatch states that q
card has been drawn up and signed by
the seconds Of both parties. declaring it
impossible to settle the conditions Of the
