INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Sept. o,


Bob Ford, the slayer of Frank James
brother Jesse, is now playing at the Zoo
Theater, in this city, in a play entitled
"The Brothers. Oath" He was seen by
reporter and apprised of the verdict in the
James trial. Upon being informed OF the
acauittal of James he manifested great sur
prise. Said he: ~ had heard from some OF
my friends that this was probable, but
never believed that it was possible for the
jury to acquit, knowing as did that he was
guilty. Even this afternoon had offered
to wager 81 900 on his conviction"
When asked il he apprehended personal
danger from the probable release of Frank
James, he said, with significant shrug of
the shoulders: swell, should feel safer II

DAKOTA.


DAKOTA.
ST. PAUL. MINI, Sept. :.
The month of August closed with the har
vest nearly ended in South Dakota, and
rapidly approaching completion, with high.
~ favorable weather, in North Dakota. A
week of rainy weather, with southeast
winds, injured the grain in the shock slight
ly and caused some growing and bleaching
of the berry, thereby lowering the quality
a little. The weather changed just in time
toprevent victorious harvest being turned
into disastrous defeat. The wind changed
to the west and northwest with a stiff, cool
breeze, and quickly dried out the grain
ready for stacking. A noticeable feature
OF the harvest was the slow and deliberate
manner in which the grain ripened. The
ground being damp and the weather cool, it
matured fully without any forcing process.
The threshers have been at work for a week
in Southern Dakota, and the yield thus far
is exceeding the expectations of farmers;
the extremes in Hanson County being six
teen and Lhirtyiive bushels, with a croba-
bic average of twenty-five bushels. The
report from Beadle County is exceptionally
fattering, one field reporting at thirty
seven and two-thirds bushels of sixty
pounds The weather is now excellent for
luTeSDlnE. luub DelDR iITtSuth Is moving 10
market literally, the elevator men paying
from seventy-tive to eighty cents for No. 2.
Oats suffered, perhaps, more than wheat
from the weather, as they were more diff
cult to dry out. Corn looks well but is
backward. The month has not been favor
able for pushing it forward, although dur
ing the last week of August the higher
range of temperature exerted a good in
fiuence on the crop. Corn enters Septem-
Der with larger demands upon the month
than usual, and while the risk of a good
crop cannot he classed as hazardous, it is
largely increased and hangs its dependence
upon the elevation of the temperature. Po-
tatoes are yielding well; the first planted
are the best, as the weeds have contested
the later with great vigor the farmers hav-
ing other crops that absorbed their atten-
ton. Haying is now progressing, and is
rapidly going into stack. 1t will continue
ten days yet 1t is all cut from native
grasses and is later this season than usual,
the blue-joint and red-top being in bloom
on the last of August. The hay crop of
Dakota is assuming greater proportions
each wear as the herds and fiocks increase.
The flax is about two-thirds harvested,
being sown at different periods as break
ing was made ready for it, This crop is
tiers of counties, and the estimated yield is
over 800, 900 bushels. The general average
of condition of wheat is about the same on
the 1st of September as it was on the LIST of
August, and is brought about by slight
lowering in South Dakota. The prospective
yield remains at 100000 bushels.

The news of the acquittal of Frank
James was received here between four and
five o'clock this afternoon, and Immediately
spread through tho town. Among those
who have watched the progress of the trial
closely the outcome of it was not a sur
prise. Some said they were in hopes he
would be convicted, others were glad of his
acquittal, while others made it the occasion
for reviving the epithet, "poor old Mis-
souri," Governor Crittenden, when ap-
preached and asked if he had anything to
say regarding it, replied that he had not:

ST.. PAUL, MINI. Sept. O.
Advices from all parts of Minnesota and
Wisconsin state that great injury was done
by the frosts last night and Friday. Wealth
err reports received at the various railroad
Offices show that heavy frost formed all
through the northwestern country, and
FROM every section come reports of great
damage TO the corn crop. What little corn
there is along the Manitoba Railway has
been much frozen, and in many places the
crop has been killed outright. Along tho
Omaha Road, where the greater part of the
corn of this section of country is grown, the
weather was not so cold, but still the frost
was heavy, and serious damage was done.
The crop in the first of the week was in
good shape everywhere, and the only thing
feared by farmers was the early frost.
Owing to the wet weather in the early
spring the crop was very much backward.
No estimates of damage done have been re-
ceived, and for. a few days it will be inn
possible to tell exactly how serious it is.
Wheat, oats and other crops were in no
way damaged, as they were pretty much
all gathered several days ago.
In Northern Wisconsin ice formed on
standing water. Some corn, much adj
vanced, will be saved, but the crop in gem
eral is backward and will prove nearly
total loss. Sorghum is total loss. The
proprietors of large sugar mills have lost
acres of standing cane unripe, which will
not be worth dollar. All other crops are
secured and unusually good. The oldest
residents claim that yesterday was the
coolest day ever experienced in early Sep
faff,
sank very close to the freezing point.
The frosts of Friday and Saturday nights
were the most severe north of this point,
but extended over the entire State and
into Northern Iowa. Corn has been Sc.
riously damaged, and good judges estimate
the crop will be short of last years, and
will not go over 100000 bushels at the
outside. In Southern Minnesota corn was
advanced so far it was not hurt so badly as
further north.

IULEDU, bept y.
The black frost this morning in these
parts, while it was pretty severe on small
garden stuff, such as tomatoes, cucumbers,
melons and other tender vines, was not
enough so to do them very material damage
as far as can be learned. Reports recsived
at late hour tonight from Put-in-Bay and
that region are that the grape crop is unin-
jured. All local reports are agreed that as
Tar as the grain crop and corn are con-
cerned, no damage will be sustained, ex-
cept the slight check that may occur to the
growth and ripening of each. The frost is
by far the earliest and most severe one
known here for years, and extends very
generally throughout this locality.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 8.

The verdict in the James case was re-
ceived with great interest in this city. The
report flew from mouth to mouth till it be-
came the sole theme on the streets, in the
saloons, at the hotels, among business men
and lawyers, in police and city circles, and,
in fact, among all classes Of people. TWAS
talked about tonight to the exclusion OF
other topics. Some declared that no other
result could have been reached; that there
was no evidence to convict; that the state
ments of witnesses for the State were not
worthy of belief. One in a thousand thought
that James had received simple justice.
a great majority of the people, however,
said that the verdict of acquittal was az
outrage which would add to Missouri ;
sharoe in many instances.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 2.
The frost in Wisconsin seems to have
been very general, and in most directions,
very severe. AT Sturgeon Bay there was a
repetition Of the severe cold on Saturday
night The corn was totally ruined at
Oconomowoc, the cold wave striking Sat
urday night, and the buckwheat and sor-
ghum suffered accordingly. The black
frost put in an appearance on low lands,
and corn in such places was ruined. Two
weeks more were needed to mature corn.
An Appleton dispatch says that corn is
ruined. There it was planted late, and is
nowhere near maturity. At Marshfield
corn will yield nothing.
FOND DU LAC, Sept. ..
A heavy white frost appeared here this
morning, doing much damage to crops,
especially to corn. An estimate of damage
can not be had till valuable information
comes from the farmers. 1t is certain that
not more than a quarter of crop of corn
will be harvested, as a combination of cir
cumstances has about ruined it-nsmely,
poor seed to start with, then floods, and
now an early heavy frost.

Wheat threshing is nearly over, and ac-
cording to the reports of the threshers the
prospects are gloomier than ever. The crop
is now reported to be less than one-fourth
of an average. The acreage sown this fall
will be from one-fourth to one-half less than
last year in the various parts of the county,
and unless rain falls soon even less than
that. The ground is too hard to pillow in
some places now. The corn crop lin the
southern half of the county will be nearly
up to the average, but in the northern will
fall considerably below that.
EFFINGHAM, ILL, Sept 7.
The drought still continues. There has
been no rain of any consequence for over a
month The water in the wells and creeks
is beginning to fail. The ground is so hard
that farmers are unable to pillow for wheat
Corn is suffering very much, and will be
cut short one-half unless we get rain in a
few days.
ROCKFORD, Ill. Sept 7.
To-day has been the coolest day this fall
the mercury tonight dropping below 40
degrees. Farmers are getting discouraged
at the poor prospects for fair or an aver
age yield of corn. The season In the begin
| ming was very backward, consequently it
was not planted till late. There are acres
| of corn throughout this county and vicinity
that have not silksd out at all, and If the
| frosts hold off Two weeks longer, which
now does not seem probable, there will not
| be over half crop, II there is that. Should
we be visited by heavy frost, the crop
| will be nearly worthless. The oats and hay
1 crop was the best in this county for years
| The yield Of farm products will also b. very
large.

all human beings. The rich and
