California Crop Nsies.
San Francisco, March 1.-THE Bad
letin of this evening has the following on
the prospect Of the wheat crop: Late
rains have done mnch to improve the COLI
dition of crops and inspire new conf
dence in large yield. 1t is known that
there is over 5000, 900 acres seeded to
wheat this year about 7OO, 1000 to bar
ley; 5000 to oats l45, 900 acres TO
corn, and l65, 900 acres to rye and beans.
Rains for the past few days have been
quite general and are conceded to have
been the most beneficial Of the season.
1t is now common remark that the crop
is assured Of course all contingencies
have not been passed, but the experience
of other years justifes the hope and be-
lief that We shall have good crops during
the ensuing summer Possibilities are
fattering with probabilities encouraging
1t should be remembered that with
the exception Of last year We were
never so well tixed>on the wheat ques-,
tion at this season as now. Never until
last year did We go into this month with so
much on hand. II is fair TO say that
there WAS over 200,000 tons of wheat i'll
the state on the first inst. Three years
ago this alone would have been consider
ed good exportable surplus for twelve
months. Even admitting that We do not
produce over l ,000, 600 tons surplus next
Summer, this would give 800, 900 tons
for export for the next twelve months,
which is much larger quantity than has
been exported in the past twelve months.
Outside OF wheat, however, the business
outlook is more encouraging than ever
known 10 be at this season of the year III

Saratoga,

Mr.. d. j. Smith and wife and Miss
Minnie and Master Smith left Tues
day evening for an extended eastern
trip, visiting Fort Madison, Iowa, and
Springfield, Illinois. They will be
absent about a month.
A good audience, with not a few
North Omaha people were disappoint-
ed last evening on assembling at Ly-
ceum hall by the speakers not appear
ing. Calls were made from the house
which resulted in several speeches by
anti .suffragists, in the course of which
vile and insulting language was used
to an extreme by one of the speakers,
causb4Athe ladies to leave the hall in
disgust.
After leaving the hall they held an
indignation meeting In front of the
building, where they severely criticized
the speaker, as well as the suffragists
who failed to appear. 1t should be
said in justice to our Lyceum and
public meetings generally, that the
proceedings last evening were far from
the general order and, in fact, have
not a precedent in Saratoga history.
One of the most pleasant events
that has stirred Saratoga society for a
long time, was the social of the young
people last evening at the house of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lesentine. Dancing
formed the principal amusement, and
was kept up until the "wee sma'
hours" The musical feature of the
programme, although subordinate,
was highly interesting, Among those
present were: Mr.. e, p. Brewster

BEMIS' NEW MAP OF OMAHA.
The Largest, Latest and Best
Map Of the City Ever
Published.
Something Long Needed in the Gate
City.

Our enterpriaing and leading real
estate agent, MIR. George p. Bemis,
has just completed his splendid large
new map Of Omaha, on which he has
been engaged for oyer six months past,
and has kindly presented The BEE
with a copy. 1t is the largest and
most complete map of the city ever
published, being four feet In width by
about seven feet in length, and con-
tains every addition TO the city that
has been laid out or contemplated up
to this date. 1t is a most creditable
production, and besides the care and
laobr necessary to make 1t as perfect as
1t is, MIR. Bemis has expended almost,
if not quite, 81, 800 in cash, not spar
ing time or money in his ambition to
furnish our citizens with A. No. l
map in every respect.
Being compiled under the direction
of Mr.. Andrew Rosewater, our city
engineer, and examined and compared
by our county surveyor, Mr.. George
Smith--besides being critically scruti-
nized by Messrs. Byron and Lewis
Reed it cannot help but be made the
official map of Omaha.
The map is splendidly finished 'up
In every respect, being printed Upon
the very best map paper and mounted
with canvas backs, most ta~stefully
colored and vanished. All leading
public and private buildings are ac-
curately photographed thereon and all
railway grounds, depota, ETC., are cor
rectly shown.
All property and lands within one
half mile, south and west, and over
n mile north of the city boundaries
are correctly marked out and de-
scribed.
The Poppleton, Woolworth, Kountz
and other fine residences are nicely
displayed, as are also the new club
house, Academy of the Sacred Heart,
high school, Creighton college, con-
vents, etc.; in fact, it would seem an
impossibillty to improve on the map
in any respect. Mr., Bemis thinks
that the price ought to be $40 each to
bring him his money back, but he has
decided to distribute them around
among u citizens and business men
at the reduced price of 81. Every
body should have one.

and they all expressed them.

at the ease with which they

1t is now demonstrated beyond q

is thoroughly practicable and
far more convenient than the tele-
graph. In illustration of this fact Mr..
Drake told the reporter that a man
who lives in Arlington came into the
office Saturday and t~elephoned to
Arlington that he would not be home
Saturday on account of storm, and
also gave the Arlington folks the state
of the markets. If he had attempted
to send the message by telegraph it
