The Chicago Church Choir Company,


The Chicago Herald of the 21st gives the
Church Choir company, soon to appear in
this city, the following very complimentary
endorsement:
"The Chicago Church Choir company will
start on tour of the northwest on Monday,
the Gath inst They will appear at Rockford
that night, GAINESVILLE, Wis, 25; Beloit, &c;
Madison, 81; La Crosse, %; Winona, Mimi,

3; st. Paul, 3, 4, and 5, Dubuque, 4. Clinton.
s; Rock Island, 9. They will play Patience -
which abounds in fun, satire, mock heroism
aid delicious music, and this company sue
ceeded in revealing musical beauties such as
no one in Chicago believed 10 be in the opera,
This is one of the advantages of hearing an
opera with the characters assigned to singers
who can also act intelligently. There is no
doubt but that the lovers of music and com
edy IN the cities above-named will, if they hear
the Church Choir company, hear musical
rendition OF the opera very greatly superior to
any ever heard here in Chicago. The opera
drilled the artists from the first, and who
brought them to that perfection they now en-
JOY. The entire cast, just as 1t was Civ. n
here, will appear on the road in each perform
ance. They will have a fine orchestra also,
and carry the same costumes, dragoon uni
forms and properties they used here, all of
which were msde especially for them. The
Church Choir tour Will no doubt be as sue
eessful as it was in 1879 John E.. McWade,
Charles Fl. Clark, Charles T. Barnes, Samuel
Kayzer, w. II. Clark, John Loughrin, Jennie
Baker, Mae Laws st. John, Josie Bartlett and
Ada Somers Nc Wade go out with the troupe
Mr.. and Mrs. Will j. Davis also accompany

CROPS OF THE NORTHWEST.

Wheat = Fair Crop-Osrs an Enormous
Yield-Corn q Partial Failure.
MILWAUKEE, July 26.-Trusty correspond
ents in the territory drained by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road system write from
1893 points respecting the grain outlook. The
burden of the report is a large wheat yield,
half crop Of corn and the largest oat crop
ever known. In nearly all parts OF Minnesota
the weather favors stout growth and full
heads. The weather stopped the rust which
appeared in few counties and fine crops
are insured. The Hessian fly appeared
only to vanish promptly. Winter grain is
being harvested and spring wheat will be cut
in about ten days. In some parts of the state,
notably in the north, corn will be total fail
ure except for fodder, weeds fostere1 by the
wet, cold weather having choked the corn.
The crop will be about one-third the average.
All parts Of the state promise an enormous
yield OF oats and excellentrye. s.i-
In Iowa harvesting ia more forward, and
corn is improving very rapidly. Otherwise
the condition Of crops in the two states is
nearly identical. Chinch bugs have appeared,
but too late to do damage. About three
quarters OF q crop OF corn is expected, and fine
weather for three or four weeks may secure 1t
from frost and make the yield considerably
larger. There Is not am unfavorable feature
in the oat crop, which will be enormous all
over the state:
In Wisconsin the wheat crop is the best for
many years. Some of it has ripened too much
and there is some rust, but these are inciden-
tai, not general defects. The harvest will
soon be under way all over the state. Nearly
all the grain Is well headed. Corn will be
about half crop. The low lands have been
too wet. Oats will be the heaviest crop in
history. Rye will be good yield but devel-
ops slowly. Barley ditto.
Northern Illinois presents no different fea-
tnres from the other states.
Wheat in Dakota is a magnificent crop.
Corn is developing rapidly, though general y
backward. Oats very heavy.

proceedings

JACOB R. SHEPHERD, of South American
diplomatic notoriety, who so long bored
the house committee of foreign affairs,
with his prolix statements, is now just
out with pamphlet of some hundred
pages containing, what he alleges to be,
his rejected testimony" to which he
could not get the committee to listen.
He claims that it contains certain " lost
documents affecting General Garfield.
The press generally treat this addendum
to Shepherds testimony with contempt,
and denounce it as adding absolutely
nothing to the record of our relations
with Chill and Peru, or anything else
german to the controversy, and refuse to
publish it. The committee refuse ed to
hear a supplementary statement from
Mr.. Blaine; and the New York World
remarks: "Blaine is not needed to prove
Shipaerd wind bag, nor Shipherd hap
PLY to prove Blaine wind-b bag. Let
us have surcease of both, and let them

Minnesota Farmer: The corn crop in Min
nesots, this season, is more important than it
has ever been before, on account of the large
ly increased acreage, and 1t promises to be a
fair crop in spite OF early cold weather. The
southern and central portion of the state has
put in, this year, such variety of crops, and
has turned attention SO strongly to stock that
there is certain TO be q return OF good times,
this fall, whatever happens to the wheat crop.
