Official Estimates as to tse Yield Not Likely
to be Realised.
The following crop summary appears in
this weeks issue OF the Chicago Farmers
Review Detailed reports from the spring
wheat growing states, together with actual
results from winter wheat rfa4, vesting indi-
Gates that the official estimates as to the
probable total crop yield will not be real
lied. The actual injury to the crop in Min
nesota is already serious, while the aver
age OF reports from Dakota, Nebraska,
Wisconsin and Iowa indicate that many
sections have felt the blight, and that the
average yield has already been considera-
bly, lessened. Though an analysis OF the
probable crop yield has not been attempted
by the Review, yet study OF the detailed
reports, which have covered every county
in the northwest, during the past three
weeks, does not give promise to exceed six
ty million bushels in excess of the final
figures made by the government last year.
Both oats and flax crops have suffered
severely from the prolonged drOuth in
the northwestern states, and the prospec
tive yield OF oats will be short an average
yield per acre. Rains in Iowa, Indiana
and portions of Illinois have delayed har
vesting and caused some injury. In twenty
seven counties in Illinois, which return re-
ports as to the actual results of the wheat
harvest, the yield varied widely from five
to eighteen bushels. Reports from eleven
counties in Minnesota indicate that the
present wheat outlook does not promise to
exceed one-half to three-fourths of an
average where the full effects of the drouth
have been felt. In Faribault, Sherbourn
and Chippewa counties the outlook is de-
clared to be unusually poor. Reports from
Indiana show that the wheat harvest is Of
excellent quality though the yield will fall
short of an average crop. The need of rain
for all growing crops is indicated through
out Wisconsin. In Dakota the need oi
rain is again beginning to be felt through
out the entire territory. In Hughes and
! Clay counties the drouth is severe.

Hard-Working Parisians.

In leaving my hotel on some fete
day, I find my landlady, in her best
frock, standing at the entrance, looking
wistfully into the street.
"Do you 60 to the fetes to-day,

"Oh, no, monsieur" she replies.
"I never go out; it is impossible. We
work here in Paris all our lives for
enough to live on, and perhaps save a
little. Money comes hard. If I 60 to
the fetes it means money spent that
cannot be replaced. If I go to the
theatre it is really SO much money lost.

"For sixteen years he never went to

were coming in at all hours Of the night.

had to take in the daytime.

rae CRossING OF THE BRIDGE.

Have you ever heard the story
How Tim Nesbitt crossed the bridge,
When the down express came roaring
Round the curves Of Smoky Ridge?
You remember the big trestle
Just this side of Carey's mill;
Twenty miles about from Sharon,
And as far from Smoky Hill.
Half mile in length-they say So
And it's not yard-stick less
Fifty feet above the creek, too;
That's as near as can guess.
And just as Tim came round the curve
And saw the bridge ahead,
He felt the track was giving, like,
And knew the rails had spread.
Down grade at that, and thirty miles
That was her common run

made sad mistake in the choice of a
tune, there being a long slur in it,
which came directly upon an unfortu-
nate word, which produced startling
effect, namely:
"With reverence let the saints appear,
And bow-wow-wow before the Lord.
The clergyman's little wisset pup,
happening to catch the nove, sung out
his treble pipe, started the squire's old

Eli Perkins does not produce laugh

trates his jokes directly upon the

ed Charles Lambs and Sydney Smiths
old Jokes, nor how he described Thack-
eray's or Tom Hoods hunlor, but they
tell how the jokes Of the speaker absO-
lutely haDpened-they and Eli both
being parties to them-how he surpris-
ed them with antithesis, paradox, anti
climax and extravagant statements,
and kept them listening and laughing
from the beginning to the end. Now
satire with its hidden meaning, which
the listener must discOver-then the
most absurd situations, strange com.
binatiOns of words, and underneath

The Perkins Family means the public,

are meant for the humbugs and the

THE COURT HOUSE AGAIN

Mr.. Editor: Allow me as an electOr
and citizen of Allen county short
space in your valuable paper for talk
on the subject of the relocation of cOun-
ty buildings to a central location of said
county, mas much as there has been q
condemns ton of the old court house.
Now there bas always been bone Of
contention in regard to the matter be-
tween lola and Humboldt. It strikes
me there never was better time to
settle the matter beyond all cavil and
contention by each and every electOr
signing petition for that purpose and
lay the subject squarely before the pe0-
pie and let them have their say. Hum
boldt and Moran know they are further
from the center of the county than lola
and it never can be voted to either one
of those points; and now see, there is
a petition being circulated for the pur-
pose of bringing the subject before the
people. Let every elector place his
name on a petition 80 that an election
may be called and if lola Is the choice
of the people let US as citizens put our
shoulder to the wheel and remove those
disgraceful old traps, and if central
location ia chosen for the court house
it will only cost one or one and quar-
ter per cent. on the hundred of the tax
able property of the county and forever
stop the wasting of the peoples money
on those old traps that disgrace our
county at the present time. There
seems to be a great hue and cry all
over the county in regard to heavy
taxes, and just let me say right here.
and don't you forget it, there always
will be until We call halt and make
things new IN solid basis and the
above is the only way it can be done.
