AN ELABORATE report Of the wheat pros
poets, made up from inquiries and replies
covering the entire winter wheat fields of the
United States, draws the conclusion that the
wheat yield of the country in 1885, under or
binary conditions, will be about ten per cent
less than In 1882. The estimate for this year
is $50, O00, 900 bushels. The estimated de-
crease is 100000 bushels, or about one
bushel each to every man, woman and child

homeless. Every business house and three
quarters Of the dwellings were reduced TO
ashes. The Odd Fellows Hall was saved.

and clothing are scarce. The citizens of the
adjoining towns are coming TO the rescue

advanced as to the origin If the fire. One is
that 1t started from spark from one of the

srsrEssroN on JUDGE coNcER.

The suspension OF Judge Conger, rs Asso-
clate Justice OF the First judicial District,
notice Of which VIC received just before the
paper went TO press last week, bids fair from
present indications TO develop some feeling
and heated expression. Judge Conger has
been suspended on the strength Of charges
preferred against him for drunkenness and
gambling. His suspension on these charges
Is proof that II they are sustained he will be
removed; and 1t Is proper that he should be.
If they are not sustained he will be vindica-
ted and doubtless relnstated, Without de-
string to PREJUDICE the case, we have this TO
say: If Judge Conger is guiltless Of these
charges he is The most lied on man that ever
sat on the BENCH in Montana. It's true the
fact of drunkenness under the er:nine is not
without precedent. Probably the ablest
Chief Justice Montana ever had was so ad-
dicted. But that Is no excuse, nor palliatlon,
and we are glad TO see that IL is not longer
TO b. tolerated. We have much good will
for Judge Conger lie was brave soldier
and has been for nearly twenty years Grip.

torture with strong drink or opistes. But If
that is a confirmed habit. IL II has democrat
lzed and impaired the faculties Of the person,
IL Is right and honest for every man TO say
and stand by il that such person should not
occupy the position of Associate Justice Of
Montana, adjudicating Our business affairs
aud determining on our liberty aud lives.
This has been the issue In the case. Aside
from this, there have been rumors that Judge
Conger was too closely identified with the
deposed officers Of Custer county, whose
mall al IN nistration of affairs Is now TO be
m Ide the occasion of judicial investigation,
but 10 charges of this nature are reported to
have been preferred aud that issue is'out Of
the case as presented TO the President.
But It does not seem that il is TO be per-
miLted that the case shall 50 rest. When the
order of suspension was received, Judge
Conger was holding a term Of court in Nir-
kinia City and grand Jury was in session.

follows: The former is deficient in
many Of the elements of nutrition SO
necessary for recuperating the constant

place in the body of a living animal.
On this account horses which are ex-
clusiyely fed on corn and hay do not
receive that kind of nourishment which
appears necessary for the due support
and maintenance of the animal fabric
hence we must not be surprised that
corn-fed horses show evidence of being
