THE WHEAT PROSPECT.

Senstor John Kelly was on our streets
yesterday. The EAGLE reporter asked him
what he was doing out in Attica. Well, he
said, be got up regularly every morning and
took a squint at the clouds and hurried back
into the house to keep from getting wet. He
saws he has one hundred acres Of corn to
plant and does not intend to plant for a
month unless be can plant without "hog-
eing" It in. The senator thinks it makes no
difference when he plants. that he will raise
more corn than the man who "hogs" his
corn in the mud. Senator Kelly says the
farmers in Attica are now convinced that
the prospect for q crop OF wheat next har-
vest is daily becoming more gloomy, that
fully half the wheat was plowed up and
every imaginable enemy of the wheat-rust,
fly, chints bug, weeds, etc--are working on
the young sickly plant. The following gen.
tlemen were also interviewed as to the wheat
prospect:
Col. Russell, of Union township, thinks
his township will harvest half as much
wheat this year as last; John Kelly, of Atti-
ca township, says one-fourth of crop; T.
Brown, of Park township, says one-fifth OF
a crop; Albert Law. Of Rockford township,
says one-thrd of crop; J. Kinyon, Waco
township. says one-fourth of a crop; Col
Sharpnack, Of Gypsum township, says only
one field in his township worth harvesting
A. R. Blackburn, of Harper county, say:
one-third of crop; Ben Robinson, of But
Ter county, says one-third of a crop; E. G
Cole, of Kingman county, one-third of Q
crop; J. T. Hinkle, Of Sumner county, one
fourth of crop; James Brown, of Cowley
one-fourth Of q crop.

Thnt Libel Suit.

YESTERDAY there WAS quite an amount Of
talk on the street as to the action taken
against the r, porter of the Minneapolis Trib-
une and the city hospital steward, in the
criminal libel suit. Bonds were filed by both
parties Yesterday morning for their appear
anee at the municipal court tomorrow morn
ing. The reporters bonds were signed by
several Of the most influential men in the
city, Dr. Marshall, in being spoken to in
reference to statement that when he was in
Dr. Merrill's Office and heard the article in
Thursdays issue read, he had made no reply,
says that in Dr. Merrill aud Reporter San
forl's presence he had expressed his most
unqualified disapproyal of the article, and
told them that such an insinuation against q
prominent citizen was of most damaging
nature, and that he could not see how any
paper could publish such statement. Stew
ard Ludwig denounces the damaging state
ments in Thursdays issue as not emanating
from him. DR.. Merrill also states that the
statement as towhat passed at the meeting OF
the ladies was not given By him, hut that he
asked Sanford to let him know what be was
informed, when he told'him that ne did not
think it should be published, as it was some
thing the public had nothing to do with. He
referred him to Mrs. McKusick.

THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS.
Arrangements Being Made for Their Prep
aratiOn.

The new state fair grounds, it is believed.
will be equal to any in the United States
when completed. They are sufficiently large
to admit the managers to make them spa
cious and convenient, and all the buildings
ample for the accommodation of the vast
crowds that will, on special occasions, be in
atten dance. AS sample of the scale upon
which 1t is proposed to proceed with the
work, it may be stated that the grand stand
will be so constructed as to accommodate
$4,000 people, about twice as capacious as the
stand at the Chicago Driving park. The job
of preparing the grounds is avery extensive
one. The whole tract will have to be fenced in,
and when it is remembered that it contains
over two hundred acres, some idea can be
obtained of the magnitude of the job. The
track will be just as good as can be con-
structed, with good and convenient turns
and wide enough to accommodate the largest
field of horses. The stables will be built
after the most approved style and as far as
practicable they will be separated so as to
protect them from fire, and in case of fire to
enable the proprietors to get out their stock.
1t has not yet been fully decided just how to
construct them, but the plan now thought of
is to build them in rows with wide streets
between and hydrants within easy reach. In
this way It is thought that some protection
can be furnished. While everything will be
constructed upon a large scale it is not in
tended that the expenditure shall be copious.
All the work will be done in a careful and
economical manner, so that it will be salts

the police patrol boxes and found them in
perfect working order. The committee
decided to report in favor of accepting the

Democrats in Council.

company Of representative Democrats
held meeting in Mayor O'Brien's Office in
the city hall last night to talk over the polit-
ical situation. The whole ground was gone
over, all the elements that can affect the
canvass being exhaustively discussed 1t
was agreed that for the last twenty years,
during the most of which time the affairs
of the city had been administered by Demo-
cratic officers, the municipality had been
governed in the main wisely, economically
and in the Interests of the taxpayers; and
that statements made to the contrary were
indefinite and groundless. No doubt was
entertained that the Democratic party of the
city had the strength and the unity to carry
the coming election, and would undoubtedly
do so, unless it made some preposterous
blunder. The meeting being only an in
formal conference, no definite business was
transacted.

A M,trdero IS Assault.

Yesterday afternoon a seven-year convict
named Blake, from Minneapolis, who has
been some time in the state prison and who
has given the officials much trouble, made an
attack on Norman j. Brunson, assistant fore
man in the machine shop, striking him over
the forehead with bar of iron. The cut is
a severe one. The convict had not a chan ce
to strike a second blow before he was secured.
His character may be readily surmised when
it is learned he wears ball and chain, which
very few prisoners have to do. Some, how
ever, come to the prison on whom kindness
has no effect Mr.. Brunson was taken to
his home and his wound dressed.

A Barber Refuses to Shavea Gem'men of Color
and is Yanked.
Conceive ME if you can,
A civil rights young man,
A heightened shaver, afraid of his razor,
down on his luck young man.
The most unique case before his hizZoner
in many moons came up for adjudication at
the regular session yesterday forenoon. The
defendant, D. w. Phillips. was arraigned on
the charge of violating the civil rights laws,
the complainant being chocolate colored
darkey named Harrison Hurst. Phillips runs
barber shop at Fourth and Jackson streets,
and the other day Harrison went into the
| place and asked for a shave. He was re-
fused on account of his color, and he trotted
up to the police court in high
dugdeon and swore out warrant
| for the arrest of the man of lather.
| When the case was called yesterday the ac-
cused waived examination and was held to
the grand jury on his own recognizance.
| In speaking of the affair Phillips states
that the whole scheme was put-up job and
the outcome of gambling arrangement He
claims that Hurst bet other parties $40 that
he could be shaved in Phillips place, and
that when his request was refused he swore
out the warrant as piece of spite work. The
| transaction has created quite futter among
the colored population, as it will test the con-
stitutionality of the civil rights bill passed by
the late legislature.
John Graham was before the court for lar
ceny and he went out to the bastile by the
lake for ninety days, where he will join his
pal, eastman, who was given the
rush couple of weeks ago.
He cabbaged bolt of cloth from tailor's
store on East Seventh street, and if he had
his just deserts he would be railroaded.
Dan Demiing was up on the charge of
| stealing pair of opera glasses. He received
them from friend with orders to visit mine
uncle and raise a loan, and it was claimed
that he neglected to carry out the instruc-
tions. The case was dismissed.
A trio of young Ideals were up on the
charge of making sneak on a hen roost
and stealing five chickens. The court re-
minded1 them that it was too near Easter
to cut off the egg supply, and they were
discharged on promise of good behavior.
George Goodrich had smacked Mr., Cruik-
shank IN the place where he lived, and as
there was some provocation his sentence was
suspended.
Maud Kreger was up again on the charge
of disorderly. She went into the garden and
said some naughty things to Mrs. Stencil, and
it cost heI $40.

threatening to facilitate the passage of Hank
