Rumors of attempted intimidation Of
street laborers, by prominent lights in the
republican ranks-one a street boss and
the other an ex>city offlcer-have been
aaoat of late, and have been traced to
reliable source. One of the street force
teamster, who has Just come in from the
country, says that he was approached and
threatened that unless he turned out in
the Fl. & NJ. ranks and wore a gay COL
ored uniform and carried a torch at Sat-
urday nights Franklin square meeting, he
would be deprived of his situation. and
starved out of house and home II he did
not vote the republican ticket. The la
borer, who had had little experience in
political modes and m ethods of this sort,
was truly and sincerely frightened. but on
telling the circumstances to friends, he
was assured that he was the victim of O
bluff and to have no fears. Others
there are who have been made subjects OF
similar "bluffs." but it hasn't worked.

workmen, who had worked during the
time. Mr.. Gest said, from 1877 to
1888. Well. the time for the bill
to be called up expired before
vote upon it was reached. The bill
was in the hands of the chairman of the
committee on labor, and he would not
bring it up until he got his convict labor
bill through, a measure that the speaker
said would never pass. The back pay
bill has never yet been presented to
the house and as only the chairman of
the committee in whose hands it is
could bring it up. he charged Congress
man O'Neil with being the cause of the
failure of the bill to pass. Mr.. Gest
said he could not get Speaker Carlisle to
recognize him on the floor without step
ping on somebody's toes, yet be acknowl-
edged that in his belief Mr.. Carlisle was
fair man, and he believed would like to
see the bill passed. But it was the fault
of the speakers brother-congressma

told all about how much he had done
for the bill and made in the same connec-
tion the statement that he was anxious
to get it through before the adj ournment
of the present congress 'for reasons
which you understand as well as l could

The observers of the Illinois weather
service have made the following report
for the week ending March 81, 1888, to
the secretary of the state board of agri-
culture, concerning the condition of win
ter wheat. rye, pastures, live stock etc.
There has been no improvement in the
condition of the winter wheat crop dur
ing the past week, in any portion of the
state excepting in the counties of Pulas
XII, Union, Pope, Bond and Dillingham;,
where the damage to the plant is not
quite as serions as heretofore reported.
In the following counties the late extreme
cold weather has reduced the prospects
for wheat as compared with the returns
of March "a viz: Putnam, Marshall.
Peoria, Iroquois, Morgan. Shelby and
Calhoun Many fields of wheat that on
the first of March promised well, are re-
ported damaged to such an extent as to
make it advisable to pillow under and seed
the land with spring crops.
The causes are generally attributed to
frequent and sudden changes in the TEN.
perature, few days of warm growing
weather followed by severe freezing
Seasonable weather during the next ten
DAYS will demonstrate as heretofore that
some unproUisng fields of wheat in all
portions of the state are not as seriously
damaged as reported, while repetition
of the weather of the past two weeks
will leave, but little room for expectation
for even half an average yield per acre
The weather during the past week has
not been favorable for sowing oats and
the rains and snow of the past week will
still further delay the seasonabe seeding
OF this crop.
A slight improvement in the condition
of rye is reported in some of the southern
counties. This crop appears to have
been damaged less during the late freez-
ing weather than wheat and in some of
the central and northern counties is up to
seasonable average.
The late rains and snow have benefited
meadows and pastures and the prospects
for grass are better than last week. The
condition of meadows and pastures is still
much below a seasOnahle average and
more rain is needed to insure fair crop
of hay.
There is no improvement reported in
the prospects for apples and other fruits
since March "a, excepting in the counties
of Clinton and Dillingham;. The cOndi~
ton of fruit is not as promising as here
tofore reported in the counties of Henry,
Winnebago, Champaign, Wayne and
Union.
There is no complaint of any prevails
ing disease among farm animals. The
condition of stock is much below sea-
sonable average and many farmers have
about exhausted their supply of forage
and grain and are anxiousy looking for
some indication of the coming spring and
the growth of grass.
