received answers to but three of them. The

the total yields and the yields per acre

eral grams for the present year. The
tables of wheat and oats, as far as
received are given below. They
show a very material reduction of the
acreage in wheat, especially in the south
ern part of the state, which loss, how
ever, is more than made up in the in
crease of oats, barley and corn. The fol-
lowing are the figures as to wheat and

Chief Weber and the county attorney
examined the fellow yesterday morning,
and the examination proved very un-
satisfactory. He told his story over, and
in doing so contradicted himself over and
over again, and to such an extent that
the officers got tired out with his silly
stuff. Briefly it is, that on the night of
the murder he met two acquaintance,
named Lee and Skinner, from Chicago;
that they went out to rob some
ones house; that he (Johnsonl
stood watch while the other two did the
robbing; that after the robbery they were
approached by a man that proved to be a
policeman, and Lee, the only man in the
party that had q revolver, shot the police
man; that the three then made their way
to Minneapolis, where they separated,
Lee going tc Sioux City. The officers
were disgusted with the silly story
and took him over to the mu-
nicipal court where a charge
of vagrancy was made against
him. He wanted to know what that
was, and when the charge was explained
to him to mean that he was person
without any visible means of support
he readily agreed that such was the fact
and plead guilty. Had he been charged
with any other crime he would have
plead guilty in the same way and with
as much readiness. He seems TO be 6

MINORITY REPORT ON NORTHERN PACIFIC
CRAFTS.
WASHINGTON, July 2l.--The minority of the
house judiciary committee have authorized the
preparation of q statement embodying their
views upon the question of the Northern Pa.
ci1c land grants. 1t will be completed the
same day and will be submitted TO the house
at the first opportunity. The text OF the
statement is but an elaboration of the points
already made public. The statement speaks of
the great value of the lands, even of those not
devoted to agriculture, and holds that "if the
question were presented of making new grant
of these lands such as is now claimed by the
company, they 1.-THE committee) think it would
be almost unanimously rejected by public
sentiment. 1t may be set down as a Ger tainty
that this road will be completed by some
company with lands unearned by the construc.
ton, but that it will be worth all it may cost,
aud there are no good reasons that the people
should pay the cost of its construct ION, and
the present company will certainly profit
nothing by the additional millions donated.
AS experience shows every road sub sidized
has, after its completion, been operated upon
the principle that freight and passengers
should be taxed just what the traffic will
bear, and there is no reason to believe this viii
be an exception"
Accompanying the report is the following
