somewhat out of tune with the affair and

OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT.
Reports Shows q General Falling
Off Except i'm Michigan.
The Supply of Many States Re-
ported Almost Exhausted.

Chicago, February % The following
crop summary will appear in the Formers
RepieW this week of the numerous returns
m de by its correspondents Returns from
winner wheat fields are almost uniformly
good. They present an on look very near
ly as favorable as those sent in
early in 1886, when the pros
pect was exceptionally good for
= large yield. Snow has entirely disap-
peared from the fields, enab ing very
clear understanding as to the cond ton of
the plant, and from nearly every county in
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Kansas, it Is reported
as looking sirono and healthy. The utter
disappearance of snow cover ng is the only
serious menace now threatening growing
grain, and with another general fall of
snow the outlook could hardly be better
than is presented in the reports of CORES
pondents. The prolonged season of cold
weather with the fields st II unprotected
would undoubtedly cause damage which
might completely change the tenor
of re: orts. The latest reports from
Cali ornia, Oregon and Washington teri
tory are generally more favorable than at
the same tima last year Out of twenty
count es in Kansas, eighteen report the
crop In good condition. while unfavorahle
returns are ma ie irDm Ottawa and Wyan-
dotte counties, where plants show injury
from freezing while unprotected. In Indi-
ana The outlook il reported to be, very
favorable. Reports from Ohio are uni
formly favorable. In southern Illinois
two counties report poor outlook, but the
remaining counties make a very good
showing. From central Illinois returns are
uniformly good. Returns from Kentucky
and Missouri are generally of q glowing
character and In the former state the out
look is considered brighter for
crop than before in many years. Mich
an reports do not indicate any larger
yield than last year but reports are gener-
q ly favorable. In Tennessee reports indi-
cate an average outlook.
While it is not yet possible to give any
thing like the exact date acreage in all
states, with the possible exception of Mich
igan. will show failing off as compared
with last year. Reports indicate that
stocks of old wheat in Dskota, Kansas,
Missouri, Tennessee Kentucky and Illinois
ar pretty we'll exhausted while considers
BILE wheat is still held in farmers hands In
Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan. rn

Soon the large building was entirely
wrapped in flames, making a bril-

city. The alarm was sounded and both
of the fire companies turned out.
but the East Sedalia department was
tho late TO be OF any service. Eng me

q mass of Wondering ruins and the
fremen turned their attention to saw

south is McLaughlin's machine and
blacksmith shop, while on the north
stood the coal yard Office, while adj
joining is lumber yard. McLaugh-
Inns shop, frame building, was saved
with but comparative title damage.
The shell of the bui ding in which
was located the coal office was saved.
In the second story of this building
resided q woman, who declined to
give her name to the reporter. The
greater part of her effects were saved.
The building in which the feed
sforo wos located ran hack tn the allev

of a short paragraph which appeared
in this paper Sunday last:

rowed horse of c. C. Crawford's son, he
saying that he did not need it. and that i
could useit. He said, at first, that he want
ed to use it on Thursday, but afterward,
that he did not / then told him that was
glad that he did not want it, because ]
might need it longer. He replied, Take
care of it and bring it back" / went 10
the southern and western portions of the
county to secure position to teach In the
spring, and came into town Wednesday
night On Thursday forenoon, saw
young Crawford here, and talked to him at
length. He said nothing about my keep
ing the horse too long, which he could and
should have done had misunderstood him
as to the length of time which was to keep
it. / told him that was probably going
to the northern and western portions of the
county, which I did. returning to-day,
when was informed that / was "written
up in the BAzoo sunday" / returned the
horse, and Crawford said that he understood
that 1 intended to keep the horse but one
or two days The sum of the whole
matter is, that there was misunderstand-
ing as to the length of time that the horse
was to be used. But Crawford knew me
too well to report it to the paper and cause
me to be placed in such light before the
Iublic. Those who know me well knew
that it was mistake; but the article is
liable to create false impression in the
minds of those who do not know ME so
well For this reason / have stated the
whole case, that the public may Judge
whether or not Crawford was justified In
running 10 the paper and reporting what
was calculated to injure the reputation of
one whom he has known from boyhood,
and whom he has trusted as mach before.
My character is all that / have to value,
and / am interested in defending it
III Crawford knows anything concerning
me that would justify him in his attempt
to injure me, LET him come forth and say
so. If not, let him come out like q man
and try to repair the injury by correcting,

Last summer the scoundrel made
the acquaintance of the girl. and
he visited her frequently at
her home, her parents offering no OBJ
lection. Finally the father received
an anonymous note, advising him to
be on the lockout for his daughters

was keeping company was a wolf in

timely had it been needed. 1t was

First his father-in-lsw, VIM. Emery, a
man of perhaps so years OF
age, poor man with q family
of six children, two of whom
are grown, his properly consists mainly Of
forty acre farm, watch he was Induced by
smith to deed to him in Greer to secure the
800 necessary to entiile him to member
ship. After securing this deed Smith trans
ferred il to Redmond Bullock for a hause
and lot said to belong to the Garden City
lodge and Bullock's note for 5000. This
note he traded % A. III. Warden for four
horses, which he said were to Dc used by
the lodge to which Emery belonged tospec-
ulate upon and increase their funo. tefore
this GOULD be done, however, the Clemens
brothers, who had formerly been vctim-
lied as members of the order, seized the
horses In order to secure them In the pay
ment of certain notes which they had given
to Smith as financial agent and which
he had disposed of to other parties.
This was the beginning Of trouble, and
Smith, in order to shield himself, put I'D
the plea that the horses belonged t. his
VIM. Emery, and legal pro-
ceedings were began in the case at Holden.
As Mr.. Emery's farm is valued at IL, 400,
and as yet h has no claim on or deed to
the Garden City house and lot, and the
horses, at the utmost are not worth over
500, he does.not seem very Jealous to es-
tablish his claim to them and staud the
chances of losing his Iarm in exchange.
On the contrary, he is.trying % recover his
ownership of the farm by setting up plea
of fraud against his son -in-law,
Apostle Smith, and what will be the OUT
come no fellow can tell.
