the CROPS.

There is no denying that the crops, espe.
cially the corn crop, of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. must be put down as "short."
Iowa and Nebraska are better, but not so
good as Kansas, so that prices, 1t would
seem, must remain good. The frost will
catch much of the corn throughout the mid.
die States. The report OF agricultural de-
partment at Washington, made August LIST,
put the corn crop of the country at that
date at ,7e0, OOO, 900, which figures we think
as near correct as can be given. Since that
report was made the conditions which have
been developed have been OF nature to
reduce rather than increase this estimate.
OF course, as we approach the maturity of
the corn crop. and with its very backward
condition, it is not at all to be wondered at
that there should be great solicitude with
regard to the final outcome. The great
consumption of corn in 1882 and 1885,, which
is made evident by the great amount OF
hogs and cattle we have fed and shipped,
and the present large foreign demand will
reduce our stock of old corn to very low
point by the time the new crop is fit 10 sell.
The South is not going to have as large a
crop of corn as she did in 1882. All these
facts point to good demand for the new
crop. The small grain is now all secured,
with the exception of the spring wheat.
The harvest of wheat is now in progress.
The yield promises to be good and the quail
ity also. Dakota harvest is now about on.
81. -baa a nj
indicate any thing as whole but very in
ferior crop in both quantity and quality.
The wheat crop in England, Germany and
Italy is reported below the average, and
large orders for wheat have already come
TO this country. All this indicates that the
foreign demand promises to be good. Far
mers are, we think, in position to secure
prices in harmony with reasonable views OF
its value, irrespective of speculation.

GOV. CLICKS LITTLE TRICK.

Governor, Mr.. Click wrote letter, in
imitation of the Governor Of Missouri, de
claring that the law against prize fighting
must be enforced, but Governor Click did
not write letter in imitation of the Cover
nor of Missouri, declaring that the law
against liquor selling must be enforced. IL
Governor Click had shown such consis-

THE NEW POSTAL NOTES.

The new postal note system went into OPP
Grafton last Monday, several being issued
by the Wichita postoflice. This postal note
is not TO take the place Of the money order,
fact which should not be forgotten, but
they can be issued and paid only at money
order offices. The amount for which pos
tai note can be issued is from one cent TO
$3.50 inclusive, but no fraction of cent
eau be included. a fee OF three cents will
be char. ed FOR issuing each note. The note
is on a handsomely engraved tinted form Of
convenient size for enclosing in letter.
The object of introducing these notes is to
AFFORD the people convenient means of
transmitting small amounts OF money at n
cheap rate. Whether they are to become
popular for this purpose remains to be seen.
Postal notes differ from money orders In
important particulars. No blank aPplica-
ton is TO be filed by the purchaser OF pos
tai notes, and there is no corresponding
.sadyice' to accompany them. They are
made payable to "bearer' when duly re-
ceipted at any money order Office which the
remitter may select. and they are also paya-
bic at the Office Of issue. After postal
note has once been paid the United States
win not be liable Tor the amount thereof.
They become invalid and not payable upon
the expiration OF three calendar months
from the last day of the month during which
the same was issued; and the holder, to
obtain the amount OF an invalid postal note,
must forward IL to the superintendent oil
the money order system at Washington, to-
gether with an application that will be fur
nished by the postmaster at the office OF is
sue or pavment. A duplicate can only be
issued at Washington.
This regulation, says the department, can
not be departed from for the reason that
every postal note is payable to bearer, and
that no specified person can therefore salts
factorily establish the fact OF his owner
ship in a lost note which, " found at any
time, would be payable to the bearer.

REFORM At DODGE.

DODGE CITY, Aug. 3l.-The City COun-
ell tonight instructed the Marshal to en-.
force the ordinances in relation to gambling
and prohibition, after the 9Th OF September
An ordinance was also adopted to go into
effect at the same time, prohibiting music
in the saloons and dance halls. This action
was brought about by the A., T. & 8. F.
railway company, as they have assured the
city authorities that if an earnest effort wai
made to reform branch road would come
here, and that the company would at once
commence the erection of permanent and
expensive buildings, but in the event that
no such effort was made all the shops would
at once be removed and the railroad taken
to some other point. a
Some of the railroad officials were here In
a special car awaiting the action OF the
authorities and are perfectly satisfied with
the result.

OKLAHOMA IN STATUS QUO.

Judge McCrary OF the United States Cir
cult Court denies the injunction asked FOL
by Dave Payne M against General Pope
and the Secretary Of War, and the Territory
will not be opened for settlement just yet
He does not decide the question raised, Al
to whether this land is subject to entry un'
der the homestead and presumption acts
This question, he says. is one Of doubt, con-
corning which there is a serious dispute
The executive branch OF the government
has decided 1t in the negative, and ordered
General Pope to prevent its occupation
Under such circumstances, Judge McCrary
says, all his court can do is to preserve the
status quo until the final adjudication Of the
controversy. In this case, the writ asked
would, II granted. destroy, not preserve
the existing status. The motion for an In
junction was therefore denied.

Tho story that Mrs. Pratt was held by the

the purpose of casting opprobrium upon the
Board. she was never even committed, no

would have released her before the order
could have been executed. Some people
