VIII continue 70 90 so as the
season advances. The crops are up
to the average and there is no

nipS 10 cents, onions 20 cents, cabbage to

Notes About Town.
1t is found that after all the crops are not
nearly as bad as supposed in this section.
The grain is getting i'll stack in good order
and of fair color. In the neighborhOod of
OsceOla, Wis, cutting is only beginning,
and yesterday a GLOBE representative met
one of the largest grain raiSerS in that sec
ton, who said he had never had as heavy
crop as this year, and that the heavy rains
and chinch bugs had done him and his
neighbOrS no harm. Hay is good crop,
while the rains and hot weather had given
corn a wonderful growth, the crop of which
bids fair to be heavy. Root crops have
done well, and the crops north and east,
excepting few places, will be fully an
average. South of this point many fields
have been injured, but the farmers will find
a better yield than they look for when
threShing is over.
Yesterday mistake was made in the
GLOBE as to Capt. Fuller of the Isaac
Staples being released for stealing logs.
Capt. Fuller appeared at the municipal
court, and as the plaintiff was not present
he asked that the case be dismissed. This
Judge Netheway refused to do. as the az
gument with Capt. Fuller was that he
would notify the court at least twenty-fOur
hours before the arrival of the Isaac Staples
in port, so that the complaining witness
and the prosecuting attorney might be
present. This he had not done and the
case was continued, and Capt. Fuller is
liable to arrest the next time he is in port,
when he will be kept until all parties have
due notice.
