Recent advces from Outagamie County say:
In this great farming country of Northern
| Wisconsin much attention is being directed
toward the fall wheat and rye .crors. Con-
siderable rye was sown in the German dis
tricts, and all reported it as loo ing favorable
| for a good yield. Somewhat less fall wheat
was sown than usual, but it is all right vet
the heavy fall of snow having protected it
thoroughly. Snow is melting rapidly, and it
| is feared night frosts will da mage both crops.
The winter has been favorable generally for
| farmers The extreme cold weather dis
commoded them some, but it frozs the
ground to the depth of three feet, and the
heavy snowfall while after helped to render
the ground more fertile.

The other evening the family of Oscar

their domicle. These preparations embraced
a can supposed to be filled with powder, and
bottle filed with a substance resembling
| dynamite In color, and fuse connecting with
these led into vacant lot across an alley.
