ABILENE, Kansas, July 10.-I pre-
sumo few items from Kansas will
be read with interest by the man,
readers OF the NEW DOMINION.
l don't suppose that a better pros
pect for corn crop can be found il
the universe than can be found il
Kansas at this time, but there il
plenty of time for. the grasshoppers
yet. The wheat crop is bad fail
ure although there is some of it be,
ing cut and there would be more OF
it cut had not the recent rains
knocked it down so that it cant be
taken up by the header.
Oats will be a fair crop, but the
corn crop is the main standby with
the farmers this season. They look
forward to it as their only hope. and
should they be disappointed we sure
ly will have hard times.
A cyclone passed over the southern
part of this State doing considera.
bic damage to buildings and stock.
We had quite storm here yesterday
evening and the writer thinks that
was cyclone enough. 1t has been
raining for about four days almost
steadily. The whole earth is ahoat,
but il has cleared off once more.
Several of our young men of this
part of the country are going south
in this State to pre-empt land. The
boys are all West Virginians and
mean business. May they have sue
cess and good time. j. b b.

HECHdER ARRIVES IN GRAFTON. =
The surrender of John L. Hechmer,
the defaulting treasurer of the Cath
Ollie Knights of America. was an
Dounced in these columns last week.
The report of his surrender has been
confirmed by his arrival at his old
home. The Eagle gives the follow
ing, account of his return:
Grafton was thrown into some ex-
citement on Friday last by rumor
that John L. Hechmer, late Treas
urer of the Catholic Knights of
America, and who defaulted, as
charged, in the sum of $23, 900 and
absconded in July, 1888, had tele-
graphed from San Antonio, Texas,
that he would return home and meet
the charges. On Monday the rumor
was confirmed by dispatch received
from w. f. Russell, President of the
order, at Lebanon, Kentucky, stating
that Heckmer had arrived there and
would come on to Grafton. On Tues
day morning Hechmer, in charge of
an officer, arrived in Grafton and
went Immediately to his home.
Officers here were notified of his
arrival and going to him found that
he desired to execute bond for his
appearance at court. Hechmer re-
turned to the Valley house and about
noon Tuesday executed bond before
Justice Brown in penalty of 80, 900,
L. r. Cofran, John w. Mason, Pat
jennings, William Jennings and
John H. Gerkin being his sureties.
There are seven indictments pend
ing in the circuit court of Taylor
County against Heehmer for forgery
the forgery consisting of forging the
names of as many parties to the bond
given by him as Treasurer TO the or
der of the Catholic Knights of Amer
lea. 1t is not known whether the
indictments will be called for trial
at the coming term of court com
menceing the oath inst.
Mr.. Hechmer denies that any un
derstanding has been arrived at be-
tween himself and the officials of the
c. X. of A. in reference to the suits
pending against him. 1t is said that
all overtures in that direction so far
have been emphatically rejected.
He has not, so far as the Eagle can
learn, stated his whereabouts since
he went direct to the South and has
spent the larger portion of the time
in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
He is in appearance somewhat aged
and spare, having lost much of his
surplus flesh.
He expresses himself glad to get
back to his old home once more, pre-
ferring to accept the consequences of
his offense before the law, to wander
ing abroad in enforced exile. He
says that he has found on his return
a manifestation of much more public
sympathy than he expected, fact
that seems to give him great cncour-
agement. He said in conversation
that he visited Grafton some six
months after his first departure, and
no one knew of it but his wife. He
is full "Reminiscences of the past two
years which if written out would
make very interesting reading.

SELECT EXCURSION TO THE SEA
sHoRE.-The second select excursion
to the Jersey coast via. the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, will leave Pittsburg
at 9 A. NJ, Thursday, July 23d, by
special train. The great popularity
of these excursions during last sea-
son, and it's renewal as evidenced by
the success of the first one this sum-
mer, proves that the people of this
section thoroughly appreciate the
enterprise of the road in thus pro-
viding cheap and rapid transporta-
ton to the seashore. The season at
the seashore will be at its height,
and the numberless modes of amuse-
ment and recreation may be enjoyed
to the best advantage. The fishing,
sailing and bathing facilities at both
Cape May and Atlantic City are un-
surpassed, and their arrangements
for festivities offer all that can be
desired in this direction. Ample &C
commodations can be secured at
both places. Excursion tickets
good for ten days, will be sold from
the following points at the rates
quoted; Pittsburg, Irwin, Greens
burg, Uniontown, Conceivable, La
trobe, Blairsville, Indiana, $40,
Johnstown, 1925; Cresson, $3.50

FAIRMoNT, July 14.-The work on
the F. M. & p. r. r. bridge is pro-
crossing in manner calculated to
give eminent satisfaction to you
Morgantown people. AT this writ
ing the iron of the first span is all
in place, and the trestles will soon
be removed. Nothing apparently is
in the way to prevent the placing of
the other span upon the piers in a
short time. About twenty car loads
of the iron are on the ground, and
the remainder will be on hand be-
fore it is needed. After the iron is
in place there will be a considerable
amount of riveting to do, which will
necessarily take some time. Capt.
Walker told your correspondent that
he thought the bridge would be fin
ished by the middle of August, or
between that time and the last of
the month. If that is the case / see
no reason why you may not expect
to have the iron horse in Morgan
town as feature of your centennial
celebration.
