Fire Department Affairs.

Chief Kelley, of the fire department,
says that two of our cisterns are in u bad
condition. The one on Third street
and Kelly avenue has only four feet of
water in it and the one on Arnold ave-
nue. and Fourth street leaks about four
feet from the top. He thinks the city
fathers, if they had done their duty,
would have looked after those cisterns
before and repaired them so that they
would hold water, rs at any moment a
fire may break out and it will be too
late then to ask why it was not done.
Mr.. Kelley also thinks that if the fire.
men have to pump these cisterns full
they should be paid something for it
not for the purpose of putting it into
their own pockets, but to buy articles
for the use of the fire department. He
wants Siamese joint and few more
lengths of pipe, SO that when n fire
occurs close to any Of the water tanks
he can throw one, two or moro streams.
As it is now only two streams can he
thrown. These suggestions are worthy
of consideration.

Showing East.

James Boden drove into the metrop-
oils Wednesday evening. He has already
sown 60 acres of wheat. He received a
letter from Romeo, Michigan, dated the
18th of April, saying that six inches Of
snow had fallen there that day. The
sooner eastern farmers get their eyes
open to our early springs and long sum-
mer seasons the better it will be for
them. Our wheat crop will be four
inches aboye the ground before there is
grain of seed sown in many of the
eastern states.

WHEAT.
Its Condition Throughout the
Country.

country.
Superintendent Guthrie telegraphed
from Barnesville Thursday the fol-
lowing from the Farmers Review of the
l4th, which is the latest authentic in
formation regarding the condition of
the winter wheat and the wheat out
look generally. In summing up the
crop report it says: "The causes which
have brought about these results have
already been stated and present reports
are simply confirmation of past facts.
The crop has been badly winter killed
brought about by late seeding, severe
weather early in January and an un.
precedently dry and cold March. The
seeding of spring wheat is progressing.
The most important feature in the week
is the development of serious damage to
the winter wheat crop. Rains and mild
weather have come and gone, but with
them no improvement of general
character is shown in the condition of
winter wheat. If we harvest 70 per
cent of the yield of 1884 east OF the
Rocky mountains we shall do we'll.
Slowly but surely and by the lst of May
this crop will be in. The weather has
been dry generally in the spring wheat
belt, particularly in Nebraska. Owing
to the failure of the winter wheat crop
in many Of our best winter wheat states
II very large proportion of land will be
planted this season with corn. The
country everywhere needs warm grow
inc rains"
