The Spring Wheat Crop.

Special advices TO the Chicago Times from
the spring wheat belts of the West and
Northwest show the area sown TO the cereal
to be considerably less than that reported
last year. Rumors of an impending Euro
pean war came too late for farmers to pre-
pare their ground for larger crops. The
seeding in the Red river valley is ten days
earlier than at this time last year.
and the acreage has been largely in
creased, owing. it is said TO the de
velopment of the country and the bountiful
yields harvested in past years. In Illinois.
Iowa, Minnesota. and Wisconsin unseason-
able weather has retarded farm work. The
acreage of Spring wheat in these States will
suffer a decrease of fully fifteen per cent,
and in some couaties seed already planted
will have to be plowed up. water FROM swol-
len streams having soaked into the ground
and destroyed the germ.

q FAITHFUL DOG.
Over Three Hundred Men and Boys
Admire His Fidelity.

Admire His Fidelity.
Yesterday about noon a fine looking dog
was ordered 10 watch basket. which was
placed upon the sidewalk on Canal street
in front of Tom O'Donnell's saloon. For
several hours the canine attracted but little
attention, but as he remained faithful 10 his
charge until evening, several boys gathered
around 10 see how great an inducement
would draw him from his post of duty. Soon
the crowd filled the sidewalk round about
the animal. All kinds of food were offered
and much coaxing INDUCED in, but the dog
moved not When the walk became i'm
passable a patrolman resorted TO little
stratagem TO clear it. At the end of pole
he removed the basket 10 carriage which
drove to the foot of Lon street and de
posted the basket upon the river bank. The
dog followed closely and took up his charge
more persistent than before. No one was
safe within a radius of twenty feet of the
animal and more than three hundred peo-
pie went to the foot of Lyon street last even
ing to personally witness his faithfulness.
At O'Clock this morning the dog was
guarding his charge with jealous care.

SOME HEAVY SPRING SUITS.
The Edison Electric Light Company
Want Damages from Rivals.


NEW YORK. May 3.-The Edison Electric
Light Company has brought suit in the United
States Circuit Court of this district against
six infringing companies supplying incan-
descent electric light. and against nine users
of the lights of the infringing companies.
The six companies sued were the UnitedStates
electric lighting, United States illuminating,
Consolidated, Swan incandescent, Reming
ton and Schuyler. The users selected for
test were the Union club, Mortimer estate,
and others. IL Is expected that other actions
will be brought to sustain the validity of
the Edison patents, for the six companies
charged with infringement have put out in
various parts of the country con-
siderable number of isolated plants for
claims the original discovery of the principle
of subdivision o. the electric current by high
resistance, and he has twenty fundamental
patents, the validity of which, if sustained,
will apparently leave the alleged infring
ing companies nothing to operate with ex-
cepting some small matters of mechanical
detail which are said TO be covered in ad-
vance by Edison's subsidiary patents. The
validity of the Edison patents has already
been sustained by the highest court of Ger
many, which court has more strict and
rigidly protected patent system than any
other. Vim. NJ. Evarts, sr., advisory
counsel of the Edison company, thinks that
the American courts will arrive at the same
conclusions as the German court, and his
opinion seems to be shared by other eminent
jurists who have been consulted. About
Sl5.0O0,000 are involved in the litigation as
it stands, and there are ten or a dozen dis
tinct and separate issues brought against
each defendant
