NILwArEEE, Wis, June pa desperate
iyc-round hard glove fight between Dave

TIE match was for so side, and was won
ny Doyle. Jones refusing to respond to the
call Of time in the SIKH rounds. Small
gloves with the padding taken out we're used
ard both men were battered up terribly.
Doyle showed the most punishment but his
.upcrior endurance won the day. Doyle
weighed 1870 POUNDS and Jones but 10
pounds, which gave the former the advau-
'age. Jones showed superior boxing skull
and repeatedly landed his left on Doyle :
counteuancs, one time partially splitting his
nose. TIE fight was kept so quiet that the
authorities had not the faintest inkling Of II
although it took place short distance from

A BAD OUTLOOK.
Late Crop Reports Show a Steady
Running Down of
TIE GENsRAL PROSPECTS OF WHEAT.
A Serious Question Where Pure Seed
Wheat is to Be Obtained
for Seed.
The CoUNTRY's CROP SITUATION.

CmcAGo, June 29-The following will
appear in the Farmers Review tomorrow
as result of summary OF their crop re-
ports up to the close of the present month:
A few reports have been made that the wheat
crop would prove to be better than has been
estimated, yet what has developed to make
any change in former estimates as made BY
the review on June |, az to the yield Of wheat
$50 geo O00 bushels-we confess we are at
q loss to know. All reports for the last
fourteen days have shown an increased de.
yelopment Of ofchess, a steady running down
Os the general prospects and more or less
damage from the Hessian Gy. Tennessee
and kentucky were the first States that ear.
Iy IN the season gave Us any idea Of the
damage to the crop. They are now the
States that are harvesting, and if reports
from other wiuter wheat States are as bad
as reports which have been received from
he States as to the yield of winter wheat it
would look today as if the lowest estimate
Of the crop was a high one. Wheat for fall
seeding will absorb very large proportion
Of what is now called the invisible supply.
In fact it is now quite a serious question
where clean and pure seed wheat is to be
b'ained tor seed.
Inquiries are now being made for this
article for seeding purposes from Tennessee
kentucky Missouri and Southern Illinois
The Spring Wheat Situation,
as the season advances, shows somewhat Of
r spotted character but conditions are fair
y promising. The crop seems to be more
or less weedy and particularly in the north
ern areas. No more rain is needed to
mature the crops.
