Of "A griculturc in the
Census.

The agricultural schedule annexed 10
|'he act OF 1880, which il also made part
of the act OF March 3. 1879. providing for
the tenth census, requires a report az the
chief productions of agriculture during
the year ending June l..
Now, there Ii no distinct agricultural
year which ends on the first OF June, and
there i reason TO believe that the statis-
ltlcs or agriculture from 1880 to 1870, in
regard @ many Of the principal products,
embraced portions of two different crops.
lnasmuch rs the enumeration was pro-
iracted through three, four, and even dive
months.
By The act approved March 3. 1879, st
~ provided that the tenth census shall be
taken and completed during the month
Of June, 1880. This provision greatly re-
duces the liability to error which has
been noted.
AS the enumeration commences on the
frst OF June aud closes on OF before the
-'hirtieth, all the crops which are gather
ed once year will fall pretty clearly on
-one side or the other Of the dividing line.
/ Ihus The cotton crop reported in the
census will be that of 1879, gathered in
the fall Of that year; while tie wool clip
or !" wool crop" will be that of the
spring of 1880 except in portions Of
,California and Texas where both a fall
and spring clip are secured.
For certain Of the productions of apri-
culture, there is no harvest, in the usual
sense Of that term; but the product is
gathered week by week, or day by day,
.as u natures milk, butter, cheese, meat
fall into this class.
In view Of the requirements Of the law.
and OF the great importance OF accurate
statistical information relative to agri-
culture, il is deemed to be highly desira-
be that farmers should prepare them
selves IN advance 10 give the information
with promptness and accuracy. Ii is
'urgenty recommended, therefore, that
agricultural journals and the officers oil
agricultural societies and clubs give pub
licity TO this announcement, and that all
persons engaged i'm agriculture, who shall
receive this circular, or shall see il in the
public prints, make notes from time 10
,time OF the quantities and values OF their
several crops gathered, and the number
4 OF acres OF land planted, in order that
their statements, when made TO the enu
-meraiors, may be Of the highest possible
rvalue.

concerning the crops TO be returned in

SHOT BY A sHERIFF's POSSE.
|, 4 Desperate Character Killed in Iaar'
ncy Valley.

A correspondent of the Canyon CITY
News, writing from Fort Harvey, UNI
der date of September 18th, gives the
following particulars of the killing OF
horse thief by a Sheriff's posse on the
Winnemucca road, in Harvey Valley
Mr.. Anderson and Chas. Hamblin,
Deputy Sheriffs of Umatilla county,
arrived here Saturday evening, having
i'll their possession a warrant Tor the
arrest of two men who stole horses at
Heppner, Umatilla county. Upon max
ing inquiries at the Post, they learned
that the men they were looking Tor
were Oh the Winnemucca road, travel
ing south, and would probably camp at
the Slough, Is miles from here, that
night. After partaking of some re-
freshments, they started III hot pursuit
OF the fugitives, accompanied by WV.
Johnson and Byron Graham, of this
place. The party travelled all night,
and at daylight yesterday morning they
overlook them at point on the VIM
nemucca road opposite Saddle Butte,
and about 20 miles south of Fort Har-
ney. When within ten PAGES of the
man who was killed, and who was evil
IDENTIFY the leader, Anderson ordered
him to hold up his hands, at the same
time covering him with his rifle, as did
also the three others The man was
noticed to smile derisively, and like a
flash he raised his Winchester to his
shoulder, but his horse becoming AN
manageable he was unable to take aim.
Wheeling to the right, he changed the
gun by dexterous movement so that
the barrel rested on HIS right fore arm,
and fired, but the righteousness of the
horse caused him to hit wide of the
mark. A moment later and he received
a volley from the rifles of the posse and
dropped dead in his tracks. He was
an active, well-built man, about so
years Of age, ford complexion, brown
hair, and his erect position on horse
back and general bearing shows unmis-
taxable evidence of his having been at
one time a soldier His partner was
brought back to the Post aud turned
over to Sheriff Sperry, of Umatilla
county, who arrived here this evening.
He seems to be half demented fellow,
who is unable to account for himself or
the man he was with. He gives the
name of Campbell, but does not know
the name OF the man that was killed.

physicians, or sold by druggists, that
carries such evidence OF its success and
superior virtue as Boschee's German
Syrup for severe coughs, colds settled

of that fact is that any person afflicted,

"New York Herald" Sensation Anglers St.
2 Charges.
ST. LOUIS, March 1O.-The New York
Herald of the 9Th inst. containing . letter
charging that slop fed and diseased cattle are
shipped from the national stock yards to
New York and other eastern markets, has ar
rived here and produced great indignation,
not only among officers of the yards, but
cattle dealers generally, and all assert most
positively that the statements in the letter
are false In every particular, and were doubt
less fabricated to damage or destroy the e1-
port trade in American cattle. Isaac Knox.
vlce-president, authorizes the statement that
slop has never been fed in the national Yards
since their opening in 1873, and during all
that time not one hundred pounds of slop
fed have been sold there. The charge that
poor Texas cattle are bought here, shipped
to the farm of Ollie Mcneil, Greenville. Ills,
there fed on distillery slops till they are fat
tened and full of disease, then returned to
the yards, sold, shipped east as healthy stock,
is pronounced by Mr.. McNeill as utterly
false. He does not feed either still or slops
He also says there is not, and never has been,
distillery or brewery in Bond county, where
he resides. Mr.. Knox expresses the opinion
the writer of the letter was never in the ma
tional stock yards. All dealers here say cat
tie have not been as healthy throughout the
West for ten years as they have been this
season.

Il FEW FACTS.

AS it is settled fact that a State Fair is
to be held in St. Paul on the first week in
next September, and that Bill King is to run
a private affair of his own at Minneapolis
the same week, the people of the State
should recognize the situation. There is no
war between st. Paul and Minneapolis on
this subject. The State Fair Society voted
at their annual meeting to hold their next
fair in st. Paul. st. Paul did not seek the
fair, but it having been voluntarily rendered
us, she proposes to stand by the State
organization. Whatever war there may
be is being waged by Bill King
and his Minneapolis hackers upon a
State organization. That is the whole story
in nutshell. AS the leading city in the
State, as the city where the fair is to be held,
st. Paul takes especial interest in the mat
ter. She is making no war, but will join
with the rest of the State in repelling the as
saults of Bill King and his coajutors. Every
town, every man, every woman, and every
child, has direct interest in uniting all our
energies upon State Fair. To falter now
would be direct insult to the State.
The effort to unite all interests has been
rejected by the Minneapolis committee and
it would be idle to attempt further negotia-
lions. There is just one thing and only one
to be done, and that is to put our shoulder
to the wheels and help make the Minnesota
State Fair in September n success. Work
will accomplish this in spite of the war
which Bill King and his newspaper can
