The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1878-07-06

WuEAT.-Enough wheat has already been
harvested and the balance of the crop is in
such a condition as to show that the grain
crop this year will be the largest ever harvest
ed in the United States. Kansas, which Is now
the banner wheat state, shows an increase oil
nearly 80 per cent. over last year, and is esti'
mated at 100000 bushels. California, the
next largest wheat producing state, estimates
her crop at 100000.
Considering that in addition to this years
enormous crop, reliable authorities estimate
that at least fourth of last years crop is still
on hand, having been held over IN anucipa
ton of war between England and Russia ol
which there is now no prospect'-and 1t Is easy
to forecast that for the coming year the price o
wheat must rule low.

The Hon. Joseph Brown, chairman of the
st. Paul convention last winter on western riv
err improvement, and who spent the winter IN
Washington as chairman of committee OF
nine to labor for that object, writes to friend
in viii county as follows:
1t is highly necessary that able, competent
and experienced men should be sent to the com
ing Congress, who will not only stand up for
their own section but for the entire West with
view to the carrying out of these grand enter
prises, and having been here now five months
iaboring for the object just attained and seeing
the deep interest and untiring efforts put forth
in this regard by your worthy citizen, the Hon
w. \. Steel, | cannot help expressing the hope
that he will be sent to represent your district
the coming season.

JUDGE BREEsE.

Judge Breese died at Pinckneyville, not al
Mt Vernon as we inferred from the dispatch
received here week age, announcing his
death. He had gone to attend to some bust
ness and had stopped with relative. He had
eaten his dinner and was attending to his bus
mess about town apparently in his usual
health when he was suddenly taken with q
severe pain in the chest. Medical assistance
was called but without avail. He died about
10 o'clock the same evening. His body wa
taken To his home in Carlyle and there buried
on Monday, attended by hundreds Of member
of the bar and distinguished persons from al
parts of the states as well as thousands of hi
neighbors and old acquaintance
Judge Brecsc was native of New York ant
had graduated at the age Of nineteen at Unior
College. \ few months later he came TO Hi
nOis and entered the law office of Elias Ken
Kane at Kaskaskia, which was then the CAPT
tai. In 1890 he commenced practising law
Next year he was appointed postmaster, and II
+, 1922 Gov. Bond appointed him circuit attor
ney. In 1885 he was appointed one Of tn
Circuit Judges and IN 1871 he became one o
the Supreme Judges From that bench, il
1914, he passed to the L. S. Senate and servec
one term, being succeeded by Gen. Shields
In 1850 hc was chosen tn the state legislatur
and was speaker of the house. In 1855 h
WAS again elected circuit judge and in 1867 r,
turned to the Supreme bench where he remain
ed until his death He was born in 1900 an,
consequently IS years OF age.
Few men have lived longer in public lii,
and fewer yet, through it al, maintsined
higher or purer character.
