No Soil Superior to This.
ANTELOPE, d. II. June %, 1884

ANTELOPE, d. II. June %, 1884.
We had so heavy an amount of rain
that 1 did not send my usual letter
last week, fearing that if it kept on
the crops here would be drownded
out. 1 thought it best to await the
result. 1t came down Saturday, the
l4th faster than the flat, loamy soil
could absorb it and faster than ever
saw it descend before yet very little
flowed away. The wonderful capaci-
ty of the West Missouri soil to absorb
and hold the rain for a long dry time
is the secret why so little is needed
to make al abundant crop. There is
no soil i'll California OF Oregon that is
superior to this in that excellent
quality. Crops have grown the past
two weeks with wonderful rapidity.
Late sown barley is two feet high and
will commence heading this week.
Corn is growing very fast and the
excessive rain gave it but u slight
check. There is abundance of water
now in the soil to make full crop,
yet the weather looks very threaten
ing for more. Grass is growing very
fast and thick. l am disappointed in
this prairie grass; it will make at
least four times the feed per acre
that ! expected, and the best of pas
ture. Plenty of tramping about the
buildings does not seem to impede it's
growth. 1t is wonderfully compact
when made into hay; some of the va
rieties closely resemble blue grass.
l intend to save some of the seed for
future cultivation, as l think it more
valuable for q pasture OF lawn grass
than the celebrated Kentucky blue
grass. We have few mosquitoes
that call for their nip occasionally,
and few flies have made their APP
pearance since the rains, yet insects
of all kinds are scarce and no reptiles
to be seen about here.

The II. a. d. Express.

The Baltimore Sun today says the
Baltimore and Ohio express stop taking
business between Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New YORK., and from those
cities,to Baltimore. The through busi-
hess from all points to the West will
be continued as heretofore. The acting
general manager of the Baltimore and
Ohio Express would not say anything
about the change other than the bare
announcement that 1t was definitely
sett ed, and would 60 into effect i'm
mediately. Another official, however,
gave as the cause of the new movement
the Baltimore and Ohio's rapidly grow
ing Philadelphia and New York busi-
ness, which. he said, was cutting. into
the Adams Express Company's business
so heavily that that company, which
does large business with the Penn5yl-
vania Railroad, induced the railroad to
shut down OH the Baltimore and Ohio.
Pennsylvania Railroad officials said
that they knew nothing about the mat
ter. One OF them, whle denying any
information on the subject, remarked
that inasInuch as all the business of tho
b. and o. Express would be lost to the
Pennsylvania Road as soon as the Phil
adelphia extension of the B. and y.
Road is built, it would be poor policy on
the part OF the Pennsylvania Road Co
aid in building up that express in op-
position to the Adams Express Compa-
my, which is d large patron of the road.
Officers of the B. and o. Express say
their business will not be much affected
by not being able to do business be.
tween Baltimore and New York, as the
largest part of their business Is with
the West. Through express matter
from New York and Philadelphia will
not be iuterfered with.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-When between
Lake Bluff and Lake Forest yesterday a
passenger train on the Northwestern
Road ran over a swarm Of bees which
had come out of the trunk of an old
tree standing in the pasture hy the road
side. The bees, angered ut tho death Of
their queen and comrades, flew sudden
ly through the open windows of the
coaches and began to attack the pas
sengers, who were thrown into the
widest confusion.
