THE WHEAT CROP,
reports From the Fifteen Principal
Winter Wheat Growing States.


Winter Wheat Growing States.
MILwUKEE, April 16.-Mr. S. w. Tall
madge OF the Milwaukee Chamber Of Com
merce, furnishes the following concerning
the wheat crop: Having received official
reports from the county treasurers OF many
counties in the fifteen winter wheat grow
ing States, including New York, Pennsyl-
vania, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, In
diana, Ohio, illinois, Michigan, Missouri,
Kansas and California, find there
has been much damage to the
wheat from drought, fly and
severe winter weather. In many cases the
wheat is reported as being entirely killed
out by freezing. Taking the reports all in
all, estimate the average damage at not
less than 20 per cent. The acreage being
the same as last year, and with an average
spring crop place the crop OF 1888 at about
400, ,OOO 600 bushels. The Agricultural De.
partment reports the crop of 1882 at 5O3,-
0C0,G0O bushels. Should my estimate prove
correct, our crop for 1888 will run short
100 600, 600 bushels from last year or 50 ,0OO,-
600 short of the average crop for the past
five years"

The Beautiful woman
still IdoIized His Wife.

Some three months since when the rumor
that she was about to seek for a divorce
was first spread, a friend of Shepherds
spoke to him on the subject. He cried
like baby then, and said that he had al
ways been true to her, and should always
love her devotedly. He acted like child
that was being punished, refused to be-
lieye that his wife would ask for divorce,
and seemed to be confident that she would
ultimately return to live with him.
Mrs. shepherds lawyer in moving for
the divorce was L. y. Blydenburg, who
figured as the counsel for the Malley boys
in their trial for the
