Mr.. Geo. F~reshwater haslaid of a sec.
ton OF his land immediately above the
Fair Grounds into forty building lots,
1924 by 60 feet, divided bv streets 90 feet
in width. The location OF these lots is
very desirable and We expect 10 see them
readily sold. Mr.. Fresh water has named
his prospective town Midway, it lying
between Wellsburg and Lazearville. He
has recently sold two acres lust below
the track above mentioned 10 Adam Bas-
ford for $3.50.
Miss Miller, the reyiyalist, is sull hold
ing forth at the NJ. T.. Church. On Sun
day night she was greeted by an over

spoke 10 a large audience in the lecture
room, considerable interest being mani
tested.
We we're informed to-day that the
"stickin'.up and warmin'-in' boys at
the glass house had Struck" for higher
wages, and being unaequainted with
glass house nomenclature, we suggested
that perhaps 1t vas meant the ''stickin'-
in and warmin'-up" boys; but We were
told that it was all the same, anyhow,
and that the boys had been getting 81 90
q day and wanted more, but how much
more informant couldn't say.
Considerable rowdyism was manifest
Ell on the streets Saturday night and
lAw-abiding citizens were much dis
turbed thereby. 1t seems TO Us that
such conduct ought TO be promptly
stopped and rowdies given 10 under
stand that they can't turn the town into
. pandemonium every Saturday night.

An Immense Wheat crop.

According to the best information at
hand the prospects of the winter wheat
crop in the west are excellent. In eleven
states the yield. it is estimated. will be
about sixty per cent larger than last sea-
son. In Illinois, for instance, al immense
yield is promised; Michigan reports an
increase of seventy per cent; Indiana
shows a smarked acreage increase; Mis-
souri,, which had an unprecedentedly large
crop last season, will. it is expected, do
fully as well this year. Equally favorable
reports come from Ohio, Kentucky, Kan
sas, Nebraska and Wisconsin. The pros
perity of the farmers means the prosperity
of nearly every other class in the commu-
nifty, so that the outlook all around is all
that could be reasonably desired. 1t
should be taken into account that the size
OF the crop will depend in q great measure
upon the weather during the next couple
OF weeks. The only drawback thus far is
the Gearth of snow, which appears to ex-
tend over all the states above mentioned.

Opinion on the yashburu
Washington Gazette.

There is an attempt to make it appear
that the Radical newspapers of the coun
try are unanimous in opposition TO the so
called outrage" of unseatiDg MIR. Wash
burne of Minnesota. This is very fal
from the fact. Even the Radical papers
of Minnesota are by no means united il
this respect; and many of them are decid
edly in favor of Furnishing bribery ano
intimidation without regard to party
lines. We quote one or two expressions Of
this kind.
The Stevens County Tribune, the lead
ing Republican paper of Western MINNIE
sofa, said. the other day:
Where is the mighty organ that was
almost black in the face with its frantic eff
forts to make its yell of reform heard. 1t
is now fairly purple with rage because its
cry has been heard and needed, and the
black sheep that is to be slaughtered
(Washburne) is from its own flock, The
organ that condemns a decision which is
exactly in accordance with its expressed
views-viz,: that bribery should be
ferreted out and exposed, and that the
bribe giver should be disgraced and pun
lshed, yells fraud. outrage in one column,
and In another publishes dispatch to the
effect that only a very few votes, say ten
