tions of Illinois have delayed bar
vesting and caused some injury. In
twenty-seven counties of Illinois
which return reports as to the actual
results of the wheat harvest, the
yield has varied widely from five to
eighteen bushels to the acre. The
range of the wheat yield is from ten
to eighteen bushels. Reports from
eleven counties Of Minnesota indi-
cate 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. The reports from
Indiana show that the wheat har,
vested is of excellent quality, though
the yield will fall short of an aver
age crop. The need of rain for all
the growing crops is indicated
throughout Wisconsin. In Dakota
the need of rain is again beginning
to be felt throughout the entire ter
ritory.

Rain Badly Needed.

Gardens and fields in this imme-
diate vicinity are in a deplorably
parched condition by the ipten 1e
heat Of the last few weeks and the
prolonged drouth. The like is un-
known to any of the several inhab-
itants who have been here forty
years or more. 1t has reached a
serious state; the result is sure to
be disastrous to a greater or less ex-
tent. The following, from the Far
mer's Regsesl for this week, tells
how other sections are faring:
The detailed reports from the
spring wheat growing states, to
gether with the actual results from
the winter wheat harvesting, indi-
cate that the official estimates as To
the probable total crop yield, will
not be realized The actual injury
to the crop in Minnesota is already
serious, while the average Of the
reports from Dakota, Nebraska,
Wisconsin and Iowa indicate that
many sections have felt the blight,
and that the average yield has al
ready been considerably lessened.

suffered severely from the prolonged

However, there has not been a
time in the history of Wisconsin,
during the past thirty years, when
there was So little preparation for
Fourth of July celebrations, as was
the case this year. Not more than
score Of celebrations have been
announced, and very few of these
have been arranged for on an ex-
tensive scale. With the Sunday
telegraph we agree that this is not
a good indication. The best inter
ests of the country plainly and en-
phatically demand that the people
never fail to suitably celebrate on
Independence day.
The large number of soldier re-
unions and the very general observ-
ance Of Memorial Day undoubtedly
have had much to do with putting
the Fourth of July in the back
ground. These schools Of patriot
ism are needed in addition to all
Others, including the Fourth Of July,
that the American Republic may
continue to firmly hold its high
position among the powerful Ma
tions of the earth.

no celebration in Mineral Point this
year. But neighboring towns afford

desired to give vent to their patri-
otism.
Saturday, the Sd, the wideawake
people of Waldwick held a picnic.
celebration in Jos. Gribble's grove,
which attracted a large number
from this city. The days program
was complete and well carried out.
Not one came back but what was
full of satisfaction and praise. There
certainly can be no more enjoyable
a celebration than one in a grove.

gone. The Blanchardville people
"spread themselves" and proved
successful. Their hospitality knew
no bounds.
There is only one Linden when it
comes to celebrating. This village

it's mildly putting IL to say she main

USUALLY when men suffer from
intense heat, they try to comfort
themselves with the assurance that
it is good for the corn. IL is not
much matter that the mortality
records are enlarged by the sun
strokes and that there is no satisfac-
uon in life, as long as the corn does
we'll. But we haven't even that
consolation just now IN this region.
The corn as we'll as man is suffering
from the drought. The wheat and
the grass aud the trees all bear eyi
dence that the sun is not cooling
down, but that he is hot enough to
dssipate the clouds aud leave the
parched earth TO crack open. The
corn, which can staod pretty much
everything except water, is cur'ed
up aud yellow from dryness. But

The celebration at Cobb on the
Sd passed off very quietly, and was
well attended considering the num-
Der Of other towns celebrating
around it. The game Of base ball
play ed by the Montfort and Linden
clubs was quite exciting from the
fact that the Montfort club, through
the Democrat of last week, had
challenged the Linden club to play
a game for S25 anywhere except
Linden. The game resulted in a
victory for the Linden club, the
score standing 80 to 50. In the
