crons in Treoo Coiintv

WA-KEENEY, Kas., May 5.-Trego
county has been blessed with copious
rains. We had plenty of snow and rain
during the winter, and since the opening
of spring we have had several good
rains. Wheat is from ten to twelve inches
high, and there is every prospect of a
good wheat harvest in Trego county.
The farmers are busy putting in corn
and other spring crops. The prospect
for good crops of all kinds cannot be
better than they are at present in this
section of the state.

Professor Ric hard A. Proctor, the Gel
ebrated English astronomer, was mar
ried at st. Joe on Tuesday, May 3rd, to
Mrs. Sallie d. Crowley, charming and
we'll lowered widow of that city. The
badly demoralized condition of the star
route has interferred with the original
plans of the wedding journey, but it is
pleasant to know that the floods have
subsidized to an extent which will enable
the happy pair To take a somewhat ex-
tended terrestrial tour. ... .s- Z

A Boom in Stocks.

NEW YORK, May 5.-The Post says,
that the stock speculations have not been
so active and "booming" for many
months as now, as an enormous
'tshort interest" had been formed in the
market for the covering of these or be-
ginning to cover. 1t is stated that the
prices are upwards, and that an advance
had hardly got under way before the
public began buying, and the outsiders
are now competing for the stock in the
market with those who had sold stocks
short, and who are, therefore, of the
present compulsory buyers. This is the
situation at this moment and with an
outlook, for many strange things have
happened, of raging and wild specu-
lation during the next two or three
months, the same, of course, to be ac-
complIshed with the usual reaction.

Sued for nefanlt of Contraet.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May About two
years ago the Western Maryland Agri-
cultural Society, which holds its annual
fairs at Cumberland, Nd, contracted
with the Rev Henry Ward Beecher to
deliver the annual address at its October
fair. The fact of the contract was wide
ly published, but for some cause Beecher
was net present and consequently failed
10 deliver the address. There was great
disappointment among the throng of Wis
itOrs at the fair, and the Society was ac-
cused of having made its announcement
without authority as card to draw. A
day or two since it was telegraphcd from
Washington with general news that MIR.
Beecher was in that city, and his pres
ence became known to tiIe officers of the
Society at Cumberland.
Beecher left Washington this morning
for New York, and when the train in its
passage through Baltimore stopped at
the Union depot deputy sheriff stepped
aboard and served a summons on Beech
er TO answer the suit brought against
him by the Agricultural Society for his
failure to deliver the address, the sum
mons being returnable at Cumberland
on the second Monday in May. Beecher
took the matter very good humorediy
and said he would answer through coun-
sci. Some excitement was occdsioned
among the passengers at the action of
the officer, but amusement took its place
when the nature of the business was
made known

Gems feel that the highest tribu-
nal in the state has officially declared
that voting is useless, and formal, if
not dangerous farce. On the other
hand, a decision annulling the action of
the commissioners would hand the coun-
" back To the Republicans, break up the
Democratic party, and set the tongues
loose of the Democratic county offices,
several of whom have openly proclaim
ed that in such an event they would di-
vulge the hidden rascality of the Bour-
bon managers. Considering these facts,
1t is said the supreme court has conclnd-
ed TO pursue a middle course-that is, it
will not render a decision. In other
words, rather than expose themselves to
the attacks of Republican newspapers
and the contempt of the public, or their
party to annoyance and disruption, the
supreme judges prefer to ignore the con-
stitutiOn which they are sworn to obey
and uphold
