tilted that she saw Brown the Sunday after

Brown unlocked the trunk and made no OBJ
lection to the search.
Brooks X. webber of Hillsboro, lawyer.
testified that Wood came to consult him
about trespasses. When he told him that
there was no remedy he said the party must
take the law in his own hands
Nathan Brown testified: Was Sc years
old in April last; live in Deering; was born
and lived there most of my life; my wife died
two wears ago have lived alone most of the
time since; had little trouble with Wood
two weeks before he was shot about part
ridge: the neighbors told him that said he
took the trap and partridge; when coming
from Hilsboro Wood stopped at my house
aud talked about it he said was Sd d-d
living old cuss, and kicked me in the face; We
were both mad; never saw him after the
Friday before the shooting; was at home
Saturday except when I vent to Travis /;
didn't see Wood thar day; never said could

THE CROPS.
August Reports from Illinois, Indiana,
and Wisconsin.


Washington special
The report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture for August on the condition Of
the growing crops has just been issued,
and gives the following summaries of the
reports of the agents for Illinois, Indiana,
and Wisconsin.
Indiana wheat is turning out much better
in quality and quantity than was expected.
The yield of 1882 will be equaled, if not
surpassed. Corn, tobacco, potatoes, and
pasture have suffered from drought; the
rains during the past ten days have i'm
proved the conditions, and prospects are
good for an average crop.
ILLINoIs.-Corn is rated three points
lower than on July /. Drought during the
greater part of July in majority of coun-
ties in the southern division Of the State,
and during the last week heavy rains pre-
vailed throughout the State, and in many
sections winds prevented the crops. The
average temperature was below that for Jul
ly, 1888.
WIsCoNsIN.-Largea and most excellent
prospect for corn. The southern and
eastern portions in particular show a small
increase in acreage, and the condition is
more favorable than has existed for years.
Spring wheat promises to be fine crop
Barley is most excellent as regards yield
and weight. That harvested and housed
before the storm of July % will also show
good color, but considerable of the crop
has been damaged in this latter respect.

Appearances Are DeceitfuI.

A very tall girl, wearing Mother
Hubbard dress, stepped on a platform
scales at Coney Island, and informed
the proprietor that she wished to be
weighed.
He placed 2OO-pound weight on the
hook, and the suddenness with which it
came down frightened him. Then he
tried l50-pound weight with the same
result.
"Strange," he mnttered, with per-
picked look at the girl, something
must be wrong with the scales.
Finally, after repeated attempts, he
informed her, in a dubious tone of
voice, that she weighed Just eighty-nine
pounds.
"Thank YOU" she said, handing him
the nickel. Il seem to be gaining
and size tripped away.
Then the amazed scaleman looked
after her and remarked
Some young fellow will get terribly
fooled by that Mother Hubbard dress. ]"
