August Crop Prospects.

The following interesting data con-
corning the condition and prospects of
the crops, etc, in Rock Island county,
has been furnished the Illinois Depart
ment of Agriculture by the regular cor
respondent residing in this county:
Corn is doing we'll; has been well cul-
tivated, but is very uneven, owing to the
replantiug. An early frost would injure
the corn crop of this county very much,
as the greater portion CT the crop is fully
two weeks late There is so little winter
wheat raised in this county that it is
hardly worthy of mention. Oats have
been injured by grasshoppers. The quail
ity is good,l but the yield per
acre will not exceed 80 bushels.
Rye viii yield about Is bushels per acre.
spring wheat 20. and barley 90. Mead
ows will yield about one and one-fourth
tons of hay per acre. Pastures aresnOt
up to the aveeage in condition. Irish and
sweet potatoes have not done well. Buck
wheat is about an average the condition
and area. Field beans, peas, turnips and
other root crops will make an average
yield per acre. Farm animals are in
good health and condition.

KELLY'S BRUTALITY.
He Strikes a Man Over the Head With
Pitcher, Infiicting Serious
Injuries.

There was blood and thunder affair
at the corner of Fourth avenue and
Twenty second street at about s o'clock
last evening. 1t seems that John Costello
and Arthur Wood have had grudge
against each other for some time. Last
evening they met at the above named
place and renewed their old feud. From
words came threats and finally blows, and
Costello succeeded IN laying his adversary
out. He soon recovered. however, and the
two went at it with more viciousness than
before. Just then Jack Wheelan came
along and into the middle of the muddle
he sailed striking right and left Ira Ben

be free fight at that, stirred up all the
devilishness that is in Teddy's compost

and he went for the first one be could

head with the pitcher and telling him to

This morning Kelly was lodged in jail
