ing we'll cared for at VIM. l.. Laugh
mans. Seven buck shot hit him on
the inside of the right leg, between the
knee and the ankle. Three of the shot
passed through the leg, but did not hit
the bone. His statement is as follows !:
II was standing near the southwest
corner of the fence near the Hardwick
House. L left that place and was cross
ing the street to take position in front
of the room that was occupied by the
cow boys. The shot struck and numb

ltcal caucuses. They poured hot snot
into me zebra party, and their speeches
were endorsed by the thoughtful men
who heard them. w. M, Boyd, the caudl-
date Of the Democracy for the leglsla

NORTHERN CORN CROPS.
The Great Maize Fields Of the North
Nearly Ruined by the

Many Counties In Illinois and Iowa WIN

wheat Prospects.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. The following
crop summary will appear in this weeks
issue OF the Farmers Review; Rains have
improved the prospects Tor corn In portions
Of Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, ohio and
Kansas, while In Indiana the tenor OF re-
ports indicate a full average yield. Very
large sections Ia all the remaining corn
growing states have as yet had no relief
from drought and reports are now coming
which would indicate the failure of tlls
crop IN wide areas.
Reports from Putnam county, in llli-
n0is, state that much corn Is delded 10 the
ear and some In tassel. The entire crop
threatens TO be failure. In Schuyler
county, Illinois, entire fields are reported
destroyed. In Bureau, Edwards, Iro-
qnois, Union, Plat, Dekalb and Pulaski
counties, ia Illinois, thousands Of acres
are reported ruined, and the outlook even
with rain does not indicate more than
one-half 4 crop. In Montgomery and
Edgar counties timely ruins have insured
prospects Of good yield.
In Jasper, Fayette, Clay, MuscStlne,
Hardin and Tama counties In Iowa the
outlook is regarded as very poor, with a
prospect OF not to exceed one-thrd TO
one-half an average yield In Sac, Wood
bury and Webster counties in Iowa there
il still promise Of full average crop. In
ohio tine general outlook for corn may be
improved by rains, with an outlook of
SO per cent. of the average yield. In
Atchison, Labete and Allen counties in
Kansas there is prospect OF one-half the
average yield OF corn. In Chautauqua
ana Graham counties the yield Is placed
at three-fourths OF an average. In Min
nesota the corn has attained growth Of
six TO eight feet, and the present outlook |
liz for nearly full average crop.
In Olmstead and Blue Earth counties |
the outlook is very good. Throughout
Michigan the prospect is not good for |
more than oDe.half to three-fourths of an |
average crop. Reports from Wisconsin |
do not give promise to exceed one-half |
the average Yield. In Nebraska the pros
pect continues good for nearly full
average yield.
The quality Of winter wheat Is gem
orally reported as above average. The
berry is plump and hard, giving promise
that grain will grade unusually we'll This
Is the tenor OF reports from Kansas,
Illinois and Indiana. The
yield OF spring wheat In Iowa ranges
from II to 20 bushels per acre, only one
