Western Crop summary,

The following ia the crop summary,
compiled by the Farmers Review:
Spring Is now SO far advanced that
the real condition of the winter wheat
can be approximately determined.
The fear expressed in our last report,
OF date of March 81, that "the c0ndi-
tion is more likely to grow worse than
to improve In the next two or three
weeks" has been realized in the
States of Indiana and Illinois, while
reports from other of the Western
winter wheat growing States show AZ
high percentage of condition as at that
date, with slight gain in some cases.
The reports by States show the follow
Ing average of condition at present
date, as compared with condition on
March 21st:
Ohio-ThIrty-two counties report
present condition as compared with an
average condition at this time OF year
OF "a per cent; condition on March
9lst, III per cent.
lndiana-Twenty three counties re.
port condition G6l per cent; condition
ON March 21st, 10 per cent.
Illinois -Seventy.one counties re.
port condition OF 64l rer cent; condi.
tion March II, 50 per cent.
hentucky-Sixteen counties report
average condition 80 per cent. condi.
llon March, n per cent.
Mlssouri-Twenty six counties re-
port condition 92 per cent; condition
March 81, SO.
kansas-Twenty eight counties re-

port condition 93 per cent. condition
March e1st, 93 per cent.
Michigan Fourteen counties re-
port an average condition of 7S per
cent; condition March 21st, II per

The slight change of condition in
!he States of Wisconsin and Michigan
Is due to the fact that until within a

Uhsssd bs . aeadiess man

A headless being, with long, rapid
strides, clad In shroud-like apparel
has set tho suburban town OF Colum
bus, N. j., all agog. For the first
time Its peace and comfort has been
disturbed by supernatural thing
who struts abroad long before the
graves yawn.
A few nights ago Mrs Garrett Post
q lady highly esteemed, was returning
from q church meeting. She was
musing ON divine things until she
reached L. p. Raab's wheelwrighi
shop, when the apparition slid up
alongside OF her and pulled her shawl.
She turned and encountered q head
less man,
He was tall and his garments were
an ashen white, There was an odol
of the sepulchre about him. She
screamed and dozen doors flew open.
She rushed to her home near by and
fell iainting in her husbands arms,
who had come to the door to ascertain
the cause of the cry of alarm.
Great excitement followed, search
was made for the miscreant, but he
was not found.
Last night Miss Emma Ridgway,
one of South Jerseys bellies, was re
turning to her pretty home in the up
per part OF the town when she was
accosted by the same spook, She
screamed as she ran. Another panic
ensued, and a large crowd gathered.
Then James Giberson told how he
was chased up and down Pine street
by the same headless monster. w.
Il. Denny declared In u tolemn tone
that he had tilt with the same kind
of chap down at the railroad depot a
few nights ago. Lon Page and James
Baker, on their oath and affirmation,
had seen the same spook and had
given him a wide berth.
By this time the crowd was en-.
thused, The town bell was rung, and
the villagers turned out by hundreds.
II was decided that everybody must
assist 10 hunt for the demon. Nearly
all night they searched. but no trace
oil the man could be found.
1t will be resumed tonight and, in
fact, every night until the demon or
the man can be run down. In the
meantime business is suspended i'm.
mediately after supper.

Atlanta, Ga, has quito a sensation.
Some days ago man, 90 years old

Tuesday, when the groom was arrest

Effingham, ILL.,, which stated that
"the old sinner played the same game
there last November" The Western
wife is en- route to Atlanta, and the
husband in tho meantime lies In jail.
The new wife is disconsolate, but be-
lieves implicitly in her husband.

a Lace cartaln tor Drapsry.


The police have been investigating
the indecent Photograph busines whicn
Signal Sergeant John II. Sherman is
said TO have been conducting, and say
that they have secured information
which will warrant them in making
some arrests. Miss Eureta Smith Is
the only one Of the young ladies' whose
name had 40 yet been mentioned In
this matter, who still persists In say
ing that she was induced to visit the
sergeant's room, and that efforts were
made to secure her consent to q sitting
In tights. Miss Norma Darrow first
told a similar story, but has since said
that she voluntarily donned the rather
startling costume In which her photo
graph was taken. .5....
There are other young ladies, how
ever, whose names will not be divulged
at present by the police, who tell
rather damaging stories concerning
visits they made 10 the sergeant's room.
Sherman denies that he induced the
girls to come to his room. He says
they came voluntarily and wanted
their pictures taken in costume, but
he had no costumes, save a pair CT
gymnasium tights. lie says Miss
Darrow attlred herself in these tights
and used portion OF lace curtain for
a drapery around the waist. He
stated TO day that he had taken q
number of pictures of young ladies in
costume, but that he had taken Ao
nude pictures.
People who have offices in the in
surance building where the Signal
Office is located say that many young
girls have been seen going into the
sergeant's studio. The stories told are
20 the effect that the taking of pictures
was not the worst result of these visits,
but that the nature of the transactions
was such as to make 1t extremely diff.
cult to get any one to make puolic
statements concerning them.
The sergeant said yesterday that be
had not had camera for over II year.
and that he had TO borrow one when
he took Miss Darrow's picture, but to-
day he stated that he took Mrs. Ron :
AIDS picture few days before while
she was doing some work in his office.

An American Humori,t.

On the 7th of July Bot Burdette,
one of the most noted of American
humorists, will lecture in Miles City.
He has three lectures, The Else and
Fall Of the Moustache, The Pilgrimage
Of Funny Man, and Advice to
Young Men, one of which will be
given here.
Among our humorists there is no
better "all-rouDd man. than Bur
dette, II, indeed, there is his equal.
Various and versatile, fresh and fer
tile, active and industrious, be culti-
Yates broad domain which will last
as long rs he cares to make il yield.
To his other gifts he adds the power Of
pathos and the poetic faculty, and his
scope is so extensive that he can
never become tiresome. He has won
an enviable position, and he knows
how to hold it. Robert Jones Bur
dette was born in Pennsylvania in
1874, and removed with his parents TO
Peoria. H., where he received a pub
lie school education, which was the
limit OF his scholastic instruction. He
served through the war in the Forty
seventh Illinois volunteers, and did
not fairly begin newspaper work until
1869. Then he became an editor on
the Peoria Transcript, where his
humorous paragraphs at once began
to attract attention, and soon brought
him an extensive reputation. There
was then a rage for spicy paragraphs
aud "the Peoria funny man" was rec
ogniZed as one of the best Of the many
workers in that field. Alter achiey-
ing disastrous failure in an attempt
to start a new paper in Peoria, be was
captured 10y the Burlington Hawkeye.
in Iowa, aud straightwsy his fame
was established. "Ths Burlington
Hawkeye man" was known and
quoted far and wide, and his connec-
tlon Win Tie paper gave IL sucn q
boom rs il could never have hoped
to enjoy. But no "pent up Utica"
could long confine the powers of Bur-
dette, and he began to "branch out"
,eeking freer and more profitable fields
for the exercise Of his talents. About
ten years ago he took the platform
with u lecture on "The Rise and Fall
of the Moustache," and that field has
proved so profitable that be has
worked il ever since. A a lecturer he
Is always in demand, aud as n writer
ne never has to seek employment for
his pen. He is very hard worker,
and the only danger is that he may
overexert himself.

The Twenty second infantry band
furnished the music and the pupils Of
the school under the direction OF the
superintendent and teachers presented
a beautiful drama founded on our na
tional history entitled "The Great Re-
public" Mrs Griiith's aid in training
the youngsters in singing and her ex-
celent singing during the performance
is worthy Of much favorable comment.
The great hit of the evening was the
performance Of the four "cullud" boys,
keeping time 10 the patting and
stamping in true picaninny style.
Mr.. VIM. Tompkins has had these
lads under his training for some time
and the great applause with which
they were greeted-the band playing
"Dixie''-was sufficient evidence of
his success as a master of song and
dance.
The whole performance was AL un-
qualified success and WAS witnessed
by large and appreciative audience
who manifested their hearty approval
by frequent applause 20 ends this
school year aud the JoURNAL wishes
the teachers and pupils Of our public
school happy vacation.

Tho Filnrs of Wool.

Why does not wool felt on the sleeps

all the fbers are lying one way. The

thus they cannot fit into each other any
more than two saw edges pointing the
same way could interlock, or than two
fir cones could stick together IL both lay
in the same direction. But reverse one
Of them and then try TO draw il past the
