MILWAUKEE, Wis, March is W. Tall
madge, OF this city, is in receipt of report
from the Hon, Il. A. Conant, secretary of
sta e Of Michigan, in which that gentleman
says: Excepting the elevation, which have
been generally bare, the wheat fields
have been well covered with ice and
snow. In answer to the question, "Has
wheat during February suffered injury from
any causeY' oil correspondents in the south
eEn four tiers of counties answered Yes"
and go No" The opinion is prevalent
among correspondents that the wheat will be
more or less injured by the lee He adds
that with freezes every night and thaws
every day, such weather can hardly fail to
injare the wheat, and the fields SO far as |
have been able to examine are bare now
and do not present promising appearance"
The New York state agricultural depart
ment, under the date of March Is, says the
opinion of the executive committee is that
the winter wheat of the state is in good con-
hiGion and promises good outcome, but
| they say the critical time has yet to be
passed.
| Some damage is reported in Missouri and
| Kansas. Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky re
| port the growing crop i'll good condition,
and but little damage by either foods or win
ter killing.
! Private reports from Illinois say the wheat
has been considerably damaged by floods
and freezing, but up to date the agricultural
department make no such complaint Theil
attest report says the winter wheat is in good
condition and promises well.
Latest reports from the southern states art
favorable to good crop, all reporting the
present condition as good.

Thirty One Carloads Of Corn for the
Chic Flood Sufferers

WICHITA, Kan, March 12 "A solid train
consisting of thirty-one cars loaded with
corn, which was contributed by the farmers
of Sedgwick county and the business men of
this city to the sufferers in the Ohio river
valley has left this city for Cincinnati
The train, which was decorated with
bright colors and bunting, moved off
amid the cheers of hundreds of per-
sons, and the enlivening music of a brass
band. Each ear was furnished with two car
toons one upon each side, measuring twenty
eight feet in length. Each subject was varied
and suggestive, with appropriate notices
The decorations were by the Santa Fe Rail
road company, which furnished the cars and
engine free sof cost to haul the grain
to Cincinnati, and which will go from
here to Kansas City over their road, from
Kansas City to st. Louis over the Chicago
& Alton, and from st. Louis to Cincinnati
via the Ohio & Mississippi road The train,
as it stood on the side track, was viewed by
| thousands of.people, and was photographed and
sketched by several artists. The thirty one
cars contained IL 400 bushels of corn shelled
and cleared, and was the spontaneous
offering of our people, all being raised
in a few days, each of the twenty six
townships of the county contributing one car
and some of them more. Hundreds of wagon,
! loads additional were offered and number
of loads came in too late to go in the train,
which was already as large as could be con.
veniently handled. Several hundred dollars
| contributed by the citizens of Wichita, are
| still on hand, and will be sent by draft.

Poiygamy in GeOrgia.

ROME, Ga, March 19-Elder Echols, of the
Mormon church, has created another sensa-
ton by introducing polygamy into Georgia
His name was brought into prominence sew
eral months ago by an attempt to gain
possession Of his 3-year-old boy In 1879,
being then a well-to-do young farmer of
Paulding county, he wood and won Mary
Vincent. Later that year he became con-
verted to Mormonism and went to Utah, his
bride refusing to 60 with him on account of
her aversion to Mormonism. Suisse
quently she gave birth to a boy
In Utah Echols soon found promo
ton aud was advanced as an elder, and, a
few months ago commissioned an apostle to
Georgia His wife refused to receive him,
whereupon he instituted suit for the posses
sion of the child The issue was squarely
made that he was not proper person to
have the child, owing to his opinions
The court decided in favor of the
mother. Elder Echors chagrin knew
no bounds, and as result many
converts have been made il Paulding county,
among others the family of W. A. j. Lee,
people of excellent standing. Lee had a
blooming daughter whose love became neces-
sary to Elder Echols's heart With the full
consent of her family she agreed to become
sealed unto him." and has already left with
him for Salt Lake City, where the ceremony

Manuracture Of Oleomarrarine.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Before the state
senate public health committee several man
ufacturers Of oleomargarine testified as to
the harmless character of their product,
claiming that it was free from noxious acids
tainted fat and dangerous substances. Frank
Lyther used coloring matter in the manu-
facture Of oleomargarine; he formerly
manufactured in Ohio, where there was
virtually prohibtory law; since the enact
ment of that law there has been an increase
in the manufacture Of eleomargarine, and he
thought the same would be true in New
York. w, Waterbury, retail dealer, said
his sales for the month sometimes reached
81, 900. He advised its name to be changed
to imitation butter, as it could then more
readily be put on the market Several wit
nesses testified that the sale of oleomargarine
in the principal markets of the city as butter
was almost universal

STYLES FOR MEN.

Some of the papers announce the
melancholy fact that the tight trousers
must 90, said a reporter to one of
BOstons best-known tailor8.
Eyes, the eel-skin as we call them
are evidently doomed, They were never
very popular except with few ultra
fashionable young fellows, and for some
time past we have been cutting trousers
comfortably wide. The fashion will
undoubtedly be the medium size, while
wide trousers will be the extreme style"
''How about coats?'
well it's rather difficult to say any
thing definite about coats We generally
cut those to suit individual tastes. Frock
coats have beenan will probably con
tinue to be, quite popular for street wear
For half dress and evening wear cut
away coats will be worn great deal.
The coats in the spring ard summer will
not be cut away SO much, and will be
made with three or four buttons If you
have more than four buttons on cut
away, it covers up almost all the waist
coat, which is not desirable, especially
in warm weather. TOp-coats will be cut
longer than they have been The very
short top-coats. like very tight trousers,
have come to be looked upon as a dis
tinguishing characteristic of dude, if !
may use the word. and so have fallen
into disrepute. Diagonals of different
colOrs and light gray and drab colored
twilled goods will be the materials most
worn in top coats. Fer suitings made
with cutaway coats the goods know as
corksclew are very popular, They look
a diagonal, and come in variety of
colors, from black to very light gray.
For spring or summer suits this will
be very fashionable, and will make a
stylish, durable suit In dark suitings
the standard plaids and mixtures will
continue fashionable. Striped good are
also destined TO be considerably worn,
"Will the price of clothing be about
the same this spring as last?9
Eyes there won't be much difference
A stylish spring snits will cost from
$25 to $50, according to the material
used. If it were not for the heavy duty
on woolens and diagonals, which in many
cases is as high as 60 per cent, we could
make up clothes very much cheaper.
You see the duty in every case must
come out of the consumer and is SC
much added to the price of a suit oil
overcoat."
