The Corn Cron

CHICAGO, May 30.-The Times this
morning prints an extensive report of
the prospects for the corn crop of 1885
throughout the northwest. In Illinois
the area of corn will be larger than last
season, owing to the large extent of
wheat that was winter killed. There is
much complaint that the seed planted
does not germinate, and various causes
are assigned.
Some attribute the poor stand of corn
to too cold weather during the winter,
which Is believed to have destroyed the
life of the germ. The majority of the
farmers have been compelled to replanI
two and three times. The supply OF
old corn IN farmers hands is quite linn
tied. There is still much inquiry for
seed corn in central Illinois, and the
planting season will extend to the mid
die of June. The season opened late
| in Nebraska, but corn planting
was little if any later than usual. In
! Lancaster and De Young counties the
area planted exceeds that of last spring
10 per cent. The season has been favor.
able as q rule and the stand is better
than usual. Very little replanting has
been done or will be necessary. The
above statement will be found true
throughout the state,
In Missouri the prospect Is also very
| favorable. A much larger acreage has
been put in than last season, because Of
the failure of the wheat fields, many oi
which were plowed up. Corn is gener.
aIly up and growing fairly. There is
considerable old corn in the country, al
least % per cent of last years crop
With a favorable season the new crop
will be so percent greater than last year
| Iowa promises about an average yield
| vhile in Kansas and Wisconsin bad
weather has delayed corn planting, al.
though both states report slightly
larger acreage.

'PATRONTzE HOME INDUSTRY.

'EATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY"
Commonwealth; There are many in
situations in this state, of which our cit
liens should be proud. Every day some
new institution Is chartered; some col
lege established, or some great thought Is
made practicability by means of brain
and capital. Each day as we advance
IN the category of time, 50 much
further are our resources developed
and our industrial progress advanced.
Ten years ago we had not the education
al advantages which we now
give to our children. Ten
years ago Kansas was considered-at
least large portion of it-adEy and arid
prairie. To-day it is one of the most
prosperous states in the union, produc-
ing almost everything that soil is capa-
BILE OF bringing forth. Ten years ago
many things which are now made and
manufactured here could not be purchas-
ed this side of the Mississippi river.
Now, such progress as this should be
sustained and furtherej, that in the end
we may be not only a producing
but an industrial center. What
are the essentials to this end
There is but one answer. Patronage
No institution or enterprise, however
great, no matter what capital may back,
or what business ability may manage It
can live without support. Therefore
the interrogatory as to how Kansas in
situations can be built up, sustained and
made influential is easily answered
"By Kansas people purchasing Kansas
goods, work and material of Kansas
firms so long as the same quality and
kind can be purchased ct the same term:
as offered in any other market.

ORIGIE OF DECORATION DAY.
a good deal of discussion has been in
dulged IN regarding the origin of Dec
Grafton Day. The mere matter of dec
Grating the graves of the soldiers had
not specific or local origin. 1t was
quite generally done IN the early days
of the war by both Union and dIsuuion
people. II came of q custom older than
any of US know. Strewing flowers on
graves has long been an endearing habit
of all civilized people. But touching
the early history OF Decoration Day
that is, the setting apart of particular
day IN the year to be SO observed, there
are many opinions. The St Joseph
Herald claims that the first public
demonstration in decorating the graves OF
Union soldiers at the North took place
at Waterloo, N. Y, and out of this
demonstration grew the national holiday
public demonstration originated with
Gen. John B. Murray, now a prominent
lawyer at Senaca Falls, New York, and
among the Grand Army boys in New
York the origin of the day is universally
credited to him. In 1866 General Muir
ray was filling the Office OF county clerk
ct Waterloo. About the middle of Man
of that year he consulted with Henry G..
Welles, leading druggist of that place
now deceased, as to the proprietY of in
vitIng the public to take part in scatter
Ing flowers over the graves of their fal
len comrades. The idea met with popu
lar favor, and on the Both day of May
1866, hundreds of flags were displayed
at half mast and draped with mourning
at the little village OF Waterloo. The
ladies of the place gather
ed at a public hall and
prepared crosses, wreaths and boquet'
for each fallen hero. The civic societies
of the village Joined in the PROCESSION

impressive ceremonies were held. Tht
heat was oppressive, and many persons
were exhausted before the conclusion O

INGALLS, ON THE INDIANS

IN UALLlO wv LII LND4 AASO'
Senator Ingalls, has returned to Atchi-
son from the Indian Territory, where he
has been for the past three weeks in COM
panY with Senators Dawes aud Morgan.
He has been among the five nations IN
the Territory In reply to reporter of
the Atchison Globe he SAID:
"Tne Indians are verv Industrious and
law abiding, and gre t number of them
have acquired considerable wealth.
Each man can cultivate as mu:h land as
he pleases without approaching within
quarter OF mile of his
neighbor. He cannot sell the land except
to q member of his tribe. If white
man marries an Indian wife, the tribe
adopts him, and he is entitled to equal
rights with them, but If his
wife dies, and he marries one OF
his own color, he forfeits his
claim upon the tribe, and has to give up
his land. Every tribe elects chief, and
two representative men to the legisla.
ture. The respective tribes are entirely
distinct from each other. The laws are
strictly enforced. and the death ipenaltY
is inflicted for murder and horse steal
ing. The Presbyterian, Baptist and
Methodist churches have each large
following among them, and they have
two colleges for the higher education OF
their young men aud women, besides
their schools. The nation supports the
students attending the colleges, and q
number of the graduates are sent to east.
ern colleges. Some of their teachers are
natives"
At Kansas City the senator said to q
reporter of the Star: I'VE find the In.
dians in the territory prosperous, law
abiding and happy. There is not &
pauper among them and many are real
ly wealthy. l think they will work oul
their own future If left to themselves
The Indians of the territory are in favor
of forming an Indian state to be admit
ted to the Union. They say they would
willingly receive the Indians from othel
parts of the country, and do all in theil
power to help them along. About the
only territory that is yet unoccupled Ii
that of Oklahoma, which would be sufh

taken idea in regard to the tillable land

ert tracts, it Is true. but they are of little
value. will return to join the rest o

True Even Unto Death.

That was a touching story told by
Mr.. Gladstone when announcing the
death of the Princess Alice in Parlia-
ment. She had been cautioned by the
physician not to inhale the breath of
her little boy, who was i'll with diph-
iberia The little fellow was tossing
IN his bed in the delirium of fever. The
Princess stood by the side of her child
and laid her hand upon his brow and
began to caress him. The touch cooled
the fevered brain and brought the wan
dering soul back from its wild delirium
to nestle for moment in the lap of a
mothers love. Then throwing his
arms around her neck he whispered,
Mamma, kiss me.'' The instinct of q
mothers love was stronger than sci
ence, and she pressed her lips to those
of her child And yet there is not a
woman in all the world but would say
she would not have had a mother S
heart if she had not kissed her BARN.
And so it will be to the end of time.
The mother will kiss her child, the
wife her husband and the lover his
sweetheart, though death in 8 thousand
forms lay concealed beneath the YER

TO ASSOCIATED PRESS AGENTS

the following: I'VE desire to say to the
agents of the association whose business
it Is to send off dispatches, that when
news can be had by or before l D. m. If
should be filed in the telegraph Office
with request to be transmitted at once,
so that it can reach the afternoon papers
Of the country. 1t should be filed at
the earliest moment possible, and not
later than l p. m, unless important news
comes to hand later. Our association is
under obligations to furnish news in our
territory, and there is no excuse for not
sending it in time for afternoon papers,
when it can be done. The tact that Ii
has not so been done has caused a good
deal OF trouble and conflicting orders
There are some good news points in our
territory from which hardly any news is
sent, and this fact has also caused much
trouble with threats of changing the
manner of securing news. If there is
not change in this matter we are in
danger of being put to extra expense for

A LamentabIe Affair .

BOSTON, May 2S.-A few years ago
Mary Beebe, q pretty, bright and
piquant young woman, came to Boston
from an interior town and created ia
vorable impression IN musical circles by
her singing. She became a member OF
the Ideal Opera Co., and Tor d time was
a favorite with the public. In the fall
of 1880 society circles were astonIshed to
learn that Richard G Haskell, young
man of means and favorably known in
business circles, was engaged TO Mics
Beebe. In December OF that year he
married her and lived at No. "a Com
monwealth avenue, among the arfsto-
cratic and wealthy people OF the hub.
Not long afterwards there were rumors
that they did not live happily, and 1t was
soon known that the young wife had de-
serted her home. Yesterday Haskell ap-
peared before Judge Alien and asked for
a divorce, telling the following story: II
stood on the shoulders of Mr.. Sullivan
and looked over the transom into
my wife's room No ID at
the GilseY house in New York,
March 10th, 1884, at O'Clock in the
morning. We moved down TO the next
door, No. IA, and tried the transom and
found it locked. 1 took off my shoe and
smashed it in. I saw my wife and Mr
VIM. West in the room. The noise
startled them. 1 looked long enough to
identify my wife and be sure who the
other person was. then got down from
Mr.. Sullivan's shoulders and the door
was opened by West and We pushed our
way in, Sullivan. the detective, gong
first. We found Mrs. Haskell had gone
into her own room. We ali went there
and found her on the foot of the bed In
tainting condition. I:told her had
not gone there to prosecute her
I only went to find out
the truth Of reports, and l would now
proceed for divorce. I asked West If be
would marry the woman and he said he
would. I asked her if she would marry
him and she said that was her intention.
l told her she could come to Boston and
sing and / would not trouble them. Ny
wife has no reason for leaving me.
asked her that morning why she left me-
Her answer was that she was not happy
1 asked her why and she said she did
not think loved her"
Sullivan corroborated the testimony
of Haskell, and said when they broke
into the room West said to Haskell: 81
would like to break your face" Mrs.
Haskell made no defense although rep.
resented by able counse. The decision
was reserved.

MANUFACTURING CENTERs.

MAN UHACIU hINi CENIEhS.
At the meeting held in this city last
week, various speakers alluded to two
prominent advantages that present them
selves TO manufacturers selecting loca-
ton. The two points of special impor-
lance were cheap fuel for motive pur-
poses, and the best facilities for the col
lection Of material and the distribution
OF the manufactured products.
These two really resolve themselves
in one point, and that is the one of large
railroad facilities. At railroad center
there accumulates cheap fuel because, if
not at hand, the railroads carry it there
and carry out manufactured products to
the wide markets offered by roads which
extend in all directions. The city OF
Indianapolis was cited as an example
of an inland city with few natural ad-
vantages, with cold, clay soil, town
OF mud, in state of mud. But the ci:i-
zens secured one railroad, then another,
and another, and still others, till the peo-
pie soon found they had railroads run
| ming in every direction and reaching
nearly or quite every county in the state.
Manufacturers realized this and from
small beginnings, these enterprises
branched out and increased till that city
is now one of the greatest manufacturing
cities in the country. With the compile.
ton of the two new roads looking this
way, to which we should lend all en-.
couragement in our power. Emporia car
