1t would be foolish for us to attempt to dis
guise the fact that the gravest apprehcnsions
are entertained with reference to the proba-
bic destruction Of our magnificent wheat
crop. Rain has fallen almost necessarily, SO
to speak, since the commencement OF the har.
vest, three weeks ago, until the very air seems
charged with water. The brief Intervals be-
tween showers is void of sunlight. Thous.
ands Of acres of Walker and other late vsrie.
ties Of whests, stand uncut, in ground SO
soft that no machine can run. Being dead
ripe, it cannot of course stand much longer,
even II 1t does not sprout. As to the thous-
ands OF acres standing in the shock, we hear
SO many conflicting reports that we do not
feel warranted in making any positive state
ment That some Of it is ruined seems prob
able; that much more is damaged may be
true. The per cent. Of wheat in stack is
Email, consisting principally Of "headed.n
We do not see but that much of the latter
will prove a partial loss. We have talked
with farmers from all parts of the county,
some OF whom say that the great bulk of the
wheat would stand another week of rain be-
fore damaging greatly, while others are equal
ly positive that unless the weather immediate
ly clears up our million and half bushels Of
wheat win dwindle down to few hundred
thousand. Many OF the more provident and
energetic farmers are daily going over their
shocks loosening and shaking up the heads.
We hear of some fields where the centre
sheaves Of the shocks are sprouted to some
extent. BY another issue the worst will be
known, but we hope for the best.
The news from ether localities is not more |
On the Walnut river, from Eldo- |
rsdo south to Arkansas City, through the |
counties Of Cowley and Butler, much dam

A crowd OF refined bellyaehers and consti-
tional yinessr-pots, who feed ON sour-mash
and Tor whom the sun of prosperity sheds on
ly bitter rays, were setting around on barrels
and boxes in Jocelyn It Kellogg's grocery
store Monday afternoon, watching the rain
which was coming down in torrents, when one
of the crowd snorted out: snow what will
Murdoch say?' Two of these precious wights
wagered that the.EAGLE would put good
face upon the whole matter, writing out what
they conceived II would say and putting their
efusions into the hands OF gentleman to
hold until the EAGLE made its appearance.
A slight breach OF trust left them In cur hands
and to give them spice of their own sauce,
and to convince our readers of the immense
amount of incipient editorial talent that is
kicking around loose in this great wheat
country. we publish herewith our sentiments
as reflected from the heads of those fish and
salt barrels. Number one:
The heavy dews which have prevailed dur
ing the past week have penetrated the tin
roofs in town very generally, nevertheless,
we understand that wheat reasonably shocked
Is NIL right. The yield will be immense
Number two laid himself out little more
In detail, as fellows
The heavy rains during the past week have
injured the wheat crop slightly in some of the
low lands lying adjacent to the streams, but
the damage is inconsderable. The quality is
OF so much higher grade and the quantity so
much greater than expected that the farmers
are in the best Of spirits, and are congratulate
ing each other on the Immense yield and pres
ent prospect OF good prices. Cranberries and
red haugh planted late promise good crop.
Red 'haugh" is good. Rather than that these
literary summarizes and practical farm essay lists
should ever become tramps we offer them
permanent situations upon this journal. Be-
sides they wrote better than they knew. The
facts are that even an attempt to i'm itate the
EAGLE Is sure to develop large amount OF
truth.

GENTS FURNISHING GOODS.
Really an Elegant Thing.

The new Rocky Mountain Tourist, just from
the press, is indeed an artistic gem. In point
OF engravipgs, printing and descriptive, it is,
beyond all question, the handsomest publica-
ton of the character ever issued in the United
States. There are in this work no less than
sixteen Of Thomas Moran's exquisite draw
ings, and among them his famous reproduc-
ton OF the Mount of the Holy Cross. or Mo-
rams other matchless drawings are those of
Grand, Glen, Marble, Knabb and Boulder
Canyons, Twin Lakes, Teocsli Mountain, etc.
Joseph Beard is represented by characteristic
hunting sketches; Lancelot by spirited draw
ings of the remarkable rock-scupture on
White River, and Henry Worrali by full pake
views at yeta Pass and Wagon Wheel Gap,
as well as a large number OF other very finely
executed sketches in different portions of the
western country, The engravnss are for the
most part large, the full auarto pages OF the
Tourist, enabling the showing to the finest
advantage OF plates seven by ten inches. The
book comprises sixty-four pages, exclusive of
the cover, and printed as it is upon SUPERSEDED
and cslendered paper Of the richest finish, the
effect throughout is superb. While very
model of typographical beauty, the Tourist is
none the less practical in lis range of inform
alton, time, distances, railroad and stage fares,
hotel and livery rates being with uniform ac-
curacy and in so easy and pleasing manner
Us to entirely relieve the work OF everything
approaching the tedious detail Of the average
guide book. Containing no advertisements
OF whatever character. the new Rocky Noun
tain Tourist is a fit companion to Picturesque
America in any gentleman's library. speci-
