IS 1T n DROUTH?

The Chicago Market Review print is
a rather gloomy crop summary: The
weather conditions have continued
unfavorable in the spring wheat belt
for the growing grain. In portions of
Dakota and Minnesota, where drouth
was seriously threatening the grain
fields, as indicated in the preceding
weekly report, there has been some
rain in many sections of Wisconsin,
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
and Dakota a considerable damage has
already resulted and the drouth is still
unbrOken. The most serious injury
thus far is confined to oats and flax,
but the general spring wheat prospects
have all ready been blighted in con-
sequence. Detailed reports from Mimi
esota indicate that the average con-
dition of the growing spring wheat has
been lower from 10 to Is per c. during
the past fifteen days. Rain is needed
in nearly all portions of Kansas. In
Cherokee county the crop Of oats has
been almost totally ruined, owing
to the lack of rain. while chinch bugs
are reported AS having already occa-
stoned serious injury. In Henry and
johnson counties, in Iowa, vast QuanCi-
ties of grasshoppers have appeared.
The same report comes from Lake Co.,
Ind. where they are in such
numbers as to cause serious apprehen-
slons.

Upland grrss Is much shorter than usual but of
an excellent quality. Timothy is very thin and
quite short on old meadows. but on those more
recently seeded the crop will be fair.

With the amount Of dry weather we have had
it is wonder that all vegetation is not dead
and dry enough to burn, but it only goes to
show that southwestern Minnesota in general
and Mobiles county in particular will stand more
dry weather than any other portion Of the whole
west; new settlers are inclined to take a more
serious view of the condition of things than the
older inhabitants, who having passed through
a genuine scourge of nearly seven years dura.
tiOn, consequently take a more philosophical
view of the situation.

THE MAN OF DESTINY.

A writer in the Chicago Inter Ocean
ays:
"Mr. Cleveland frequently consults a
medium as to what course he shall pur-
sue when he is in doubt. It is said
that when he was sheriff of Buffalo he
went to medium once for sport, and
was told by her that he would one day
be govener of the state of New York
and afterward president of the United
States. The fact that this prophecy
was so accurately fulfilled has given
the president permanent faith inme-
diums, and it is said that Mrs. Saw
yers is in the habit of going to the presi-
dent and giving him advice. She has
told him, it is claimed that he will lie
reelected if he lives to serve out the
end Of his term, and it is also claimed
that she has told him that he will not
die from any illness. These predic-
tions are said to have made great i'm
preston upon the presidents mind.

which the president exercises to avoid

this is an age OF advertising, Of pushing ones
own business. and making the merits OF our
work and our wares known. The commonest
newspaper and tho highest literary magazine
alike must do it. Moreover. the friends Of the
journal want to know about its success and
want the opinions OF others. Nothing makes Il
subscriber so resolved to "stick" and t, recon-.
mend a journal as to sec that O.hers praise 1t,
or hold the same opinions as to its worth that
he does.
Besides, why can an inventor or 4 manufac-

merits, advertise It, introduce It, 'pusll' 1t, and
not be charged with ''cgo,ism,'' while the in
