The Wheat Crop,

n. ". llnCa.
A few week ago the reports from vAriOuS
agricultural districts in Kansas presented q
somewhat discourARing aspect There sssm-
cd to be, al that time, lack Of rain, and 1t
WAS predicted that the wheat crop especially
would fall below that Of last year. Recent
examinations, however, show that there h,
at present, every reason 10 belieye that the
yield OF this important cereal will equal, II
not exceed, that Of 1873, which gave Kansas
the frst rank rs wheat producing State.
We shall not be surprised II the crop OF 1873
reaches 90 ,000, 600 bushels, 90 the acreage In
the new counties Is largely in excess OF last
year. Corn is looking unuGuAlly well and
"a enormous amount has been put in. Kan
sas bSs the t'boom" In an agricultural point
OF view, and should this years crops equal or
exceed those of 1873, as they now promise,
Il will require increased railway facilities to
transport the immigrants seeking homes on

DEATH OF WILLIAM ALLEN.

| Ex-Governor William Allen, of OHIO, died
suddenly on Friday morning of last week Al
his home near Chilicothc, in that state lie
had been in his usual health until Thursday,
when he felt unwell and took some medicine,
At 6 O'Clock he went to bed He passed Il
rather restless evening, hut about midnight
fell asleep At o'clock his attendants were
startled to see HIM get ont Of bed stagger to Il
char and fall into it. In moment more he
was dead
William Allen was born at Edcnton, North
Carolina in 1906 When II years old he went
to Ohio, and was placed by his sister the
mother of Senator Thurman, IN the Chillcothe
Academy. Remaining there two years, he
commenced the study of law, and before his
21st year was admitted to the bar Al 26 he
was sent to congress rs IA Jackson democrat
and tour years later he was elected TO the |.
S senate, and at the time he took his seat was
the youngest man thai had ever been elected
to that body. He served until March 1919
having in S4S declined the democratic nomi.
nation for the presidency, when it was found
tho delegates were nearly equally DIVIDED be-
tween CaSS and Van Buren,. In 1913 he was
elected governor Of OHIO, after one of the most
remarkable contests ever witnessed in that
state In 1915, being candidate for rc-elec.
ton, he was defeated by a small majority by
r. b. Hayes. Since then he had lived IN re.
tiremcnt
Gov. Allen was Il man over six feet in height,
of robust athletic flame, and was no less nota-
bic for mental than bodily vigor, AS public
speaker the country has produced few that
were his equals, while as Il statesman he
rank ed among the greatest and purest. Few
indeed of our public men occupying so promi-
nent position left Il record so free from flaw.
The breath Of aspersion will never fall upon
his memory, and his name will be perpetuated
as that of a wise legislator and incorruptible
citizen

Boston had as hearty blow on Wednesday as
any that ever visited Kansas, Iowa or Mime

the cyclone struck Boston on Wednesday at
4:l5 p. NJ. Rain fell in great sheets and hail
fell like hickory nuts. \ dozen of heavily la

of the six persons on board being drowned

On land the destruction in Boston was chief
ly of window glass, but the cyclone swept ever
the state in northwest direction, leveling, for a
space of several miles in width, many trees,
houses, barns, fences, and the growing crops,
doing incalculable damage. At Pittsfield two
persons were killed and the damage to the
town is estimated at $4,000 On the same
scale the damage throughout the state must
border on million of dollars.

administration have done in districts where
their opponents were in Il large majority, with
a hint that the army was ready to support tue
interference in case the voters were at all re-

graceful scene, and insist that purity at the
pools requires such national oversight.
But what has already been done under this
partisan machinery is nothing to the POSSIBLE

tyranny should not be lett for a moment to the
probable forbcarance Of the leaders Of any po

the Capitalization OfpOwer, and the intOlerable

Of Ohio in the pending political contest take
square ground against the silver dollar of the

committee for circulation are those of Morton
Of New York and others against the coinage
of the silver dollar. Noticing recent order
