Condition of the Growing Wheat.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-The Farmers Review prints
the following m of it's crop returns:
IA close study of the reports sent in by our
correspondents gives little indication thus far as
to the prospect for 1886, beyond the general
statement that the acreage in none of the winter
wheat States has been increased over that Of
1885. Illinois and Kansas, which proved the
greatest sufferers among the wheat growers last
year, show a decrease in their acreage. A num-
Der of the counties of Michigan report that the
stand is not as good as last year, and, taking
that State as a y whole, the prospect Is not up to
the uniformly fine reports Of last year. The de-
tailed reports from Ohio almost uniformly make
a better showing than a year ago. Discouraging
reports are made from only two or three of the
interior counties. Seven Of the southern coun-
ties of Indiana report very little snow, and, ow-
ing to hard freezing, fears are felt for the grow
ing plant Reports from both Kentucky and
Missouri indicate that the crop went into the
winter in good condition, and that it has been
well protected with snow up to this writing.
In Tennessee, the reports show that the crop in
various sections has been seriously injured, owing
to the extreme cold and lack OF protection. The
reports from Dakota and Minnesota indicate that
FROM two-thirds to three-fourths of the old crop
has been marketed. The reports from Nebraska,
Iowa and Wisconsin indicate that only from one
quarter to one-third of the wheat remains on
hand. In various portions of Kansas, Missouri.
Illinois and Iowa the mills are increasing their
supplies

The Hot Springs Litigation.

LITTLE Rock, Ark. Feb. 9.-In the United
States Circuit Court, to-day, Judge Brewer de-
cided the case of 81. NJ. Rector VS.. Gibbon, in
favor of plaintiff. This is one of a large number
of suits to establish ownership of valuable prop
erty in Hot Springs. which was decided ad-
versely to Rector by the Supreme Court holding,
in 1876. that none of the original claimants had
any title to the land, and that occupants could
purchase only from the government. A COM
mission appointed by Congress confirmed this
decision, but Governor Rector resisted, and
when afterwards decided against by Judges
McCrary and Caldwell, carried the case to the
mony, securing a decision that Rector was the
party entitled to the purchase. The case then
came before Judge Brewer on a bill, answer and
testimony, and Rector wins again. There are
over sixty cases, and substantially the same
principle is involved. They cover a large pro-
portion of the most valuable property in Hot
Springs. 1t is intimated that an appeal will be
taken to the Supreme Court.

The Storey VIII Contest.

CHICAGO. Feb. 9-Judge Rogers, in the Cir
cult Court, this morning, decided that the will
executed by Wilbur +. Storey, late owner of the
Chicago Times, in February, 1881, was valid, and
directed that it be admitted to probate. The
matter was heard on an appeal from the probate
court. The will was contested by the blood heirs
on three grounds: Want of testamentary capaci-
ty, undue influence, and thatthe instrument was
not properly witnessed. The court held that the
testator was of sound mind before and after the
will was drawn, that there was no evidence of
improper influence, and that the will was legally
attested- The will leaves the newspaper and the
largest portion of the estate to his widow, Eureka
Z. Storey. The counsel for the blood heirs gave
notice OF an appeal.

Unwritten History.

There is some remarkable unwritten his
tory connected with the attack upon us last
Christmas day We merely allude to itnow;
it may become necessary or proper to go
into the subject more specifically hereafter.
Suffice it at present to say. that we feel Ger,
tain that there are men in this town who
were gprivy to, if not instigators Of
that outrage. They are not all saloon men.
Two of them at least can have no decent
pretext for their course, which is mystery
to us. We feel confident they are among
the editorial writer's of the.opposition paper
and have ''taken stock" in it in various ways.
That is all right only we think they should
come out openly and above board, in orde'
to which it is likely we may, ere long,
relieve their excessive modesty by giving
their names to the public.
