THE CORN CROP.
1t Is Maturing Rapidly-Estimate of Probable
Yield in Some of the Principal States.

CHICAGO, Sept 19-The following crop review
will appear in this weeks issue Of the Farmers
Review:
The corn crop is maturing rapidly, and the cor
respondents this week indicate, approximately,
the probable yield per in bushels Frosts
occurred in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Ne
braska during the week, and some injury is re-
ported to the late grain in the low lands; but, in
the main, no general injury occurred, owing to
the maturity of the grain. In twenty-one coun-
ties in Illinois the average ranges from ten to
forty bushels, with an apparent average of about
twenty-five bushels to the acre. The lowest av-
erage is reported from Henry county, where the
probable yield is placed at ten buohels, while
Lasalle, Lawrence and DeKalb report the prob
able average at thirty Eve bushels. In Clay,
Fayette, Macoupin, Macon. Rock Island and
Warren the crop is reported at from twenty
FIVE to thirty bushels, and IN Adams. Car
roll, Marshall and Mclean it is placed
at from twenty to twenty-five bushels. The
same general average is indicated in Iowa. In
Palo Alto, Polk and Allamakee counties the av-
erage is indicated at from fifteen to twenty
bushels In Hancock, Wapello, Henry and
Shelby counties the average runs from twenty
FIVE to thirty-fve bushels In Calhoun the average
is placed at forty bushels. In seventeen coun-
ties the general average is placed at twenty-six
bushels
The average in Minnesota in fourteen counties
is placed at twenty eight bushels.
In Indiana twelve counties report general
average of twenty-nine bushels.
In Kansas the report from twelve counties
duces the average to twenty-five bushels.
In Ohio the average of the counties reporting
this week places the general average at thirty
two bushels.
In Wisconsin the AVERAGE drops to twenty six
| bushels. In Missouri the general average is
placed at twenty four bushels.
The reports from Nebraska indicate unusually
large yields in some counties. In Cedar, Mer-
rick, Platte and Hitchcock counties the reports
indicate that the yield will range from forty to
sixty bushels The reports from Michigan indi
cate yield ranging from twenty to sew
enty-fye bushels to the acre. While
none of the returns are sufficiently COM
plete to estimate accurately the gen.
eral average of the probable yield, the data is
ample as indicating approximately the probable
general average in the several States.
The reports of hog cholera are little more
| numerous, but not in sufficient numbers to occa-
sion any special concern. In Adams county, Illi-
nois, one-half the hogs are reported to have died
from cholera. In Fayette and Mclean counties,
Illinois, the cholera is reported in Johnson, Cal
| houn, Hamilton and Shelby counties, Iowa, and
| in Adams, Randolph and Rush counties, Indiana.
| In nearly every one of the remaining counties
reporting this week. the indications are that the
crop is somewhat lighter than usual, but the
| hogs are healthy.

JOLIET, Sept. 19.-The scene of last nights
cyclone in this city has been visited to-day by
fully ten thousand people. It is remarkable
fact that although fifteen or twenty houses were
completely demolished and scattered by the ter
rife wind, yet not single person was fatally
hurt Everybody seemed to be aware of the ap-
proach of the cyclone some minutes before it
struck the city, and secured their safety by fee
ing to their cellars. The cyclone came from the
southwest. straight up the Des PLANES river.
The constant flashes of lightning lit up the sky
so that the funnel-shaped monster could be
plainly seen as it came whirling toward the city
with roar like q hundred locomotives blowing
off steam. AS 1t reached the city limits
it turned east on Monroe street. demolishing
houses, barns and out-houses The air was filed
with boards, limbs of trees, sections Of roof and
pieces of heavy timber The bridge on Monroe
street was picked up bodily and deposited almost
intact two blocks away. A heavy grindstone

some OF these houses were carried a quarter

were more or less moved from their
foundations and wrenched out of shape. The
house of Peter Daily was turned upside down.
The roof now rests on the ground, and the front
door high up in the air. Telegraph poles were
twisted off like pipe stems, the streets being
blockaded with mass of tangled wires Along

the hard gravel road. Eye-witnesses state that

came. and after 1t had passed the horse and
buggy had disappeared. No trace has yet been
found. The damage to the property in the city
is estimated at SO, 900.
