The Wheat and Oats Product.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January IA cir
cular has been issued for publication by the
statistician of the agricultural department,
showing the product and value of corn and
oats for each state. The general average of
corn harvested excluding ,andoned or
worthless acreage, is seventy-two million
acres. In round numbers the product is
l, 4O6 0O0, 600 bushels. The value is $647 ,OOO,-
600. The area of wheat is 81 ,4O0, 600 acres;
the product is 457, 100000 bushels; value
$3O9. 600 900. The area of oats is $4,000, 600
acres: product, 659, OOO, 600 bushels; value,
5000, coo, 600. The reports of winter wheat
do not show much decrease of area. In
Texas there Is a considerable increase, and q
slight increase in some other states. The
average decline appears to be between I and
per cent. In Kentucky, Ohio and Michi-
gan, SO; Indiana. 100; illinois, SO; Missouri,
SO, and Kansas, IS. The condition is affected
somewhat by the dryness of seed-bed IN the
district that suffered from drought, delaying
seeding termination and growth. The con-
dition of winter rice comedies very closely
with that of wheat.

Paralysis. =
CINCINNATI, January 5.-Mr. Ammi Bal
dwin, late cashier of the Fidelity National
bank, died suddenly at 3 O'Clock this morn
ing at his residence on Walnut Hill. Mr..
Baldwin was indicted with the other officers
of the Fidelity bank, bat for some reason his
bond was placed at $4,000 and he was able
to secure bondsmen, and has not
been in Jail. The theory of suicide
80 prevalent down town has no
support whatever from the facts of Mr..
Baldwin's death. He died from the effects
of stroke of paralysis. A year ago he had
slight attack. On Tuesday night he re-
tired in his usual health, but yesterday
morning his family found him lying un-
conscious. All efforts to arouse him failed.
His physicians pronounced it case of par
Rlysis. He never regained consciousness,
but died early this morning. Mr.. Baldwin
was So years old. It will be remembered
that this is the bank of which E. L. Harper,
now in the Ohio penitentiary, was presi-
dent, and in whose affairs Josie Holmes,
Benjamin Hopkins and the attorney, Briggs
Swift, figured conspicuousiy before the
country some weeks before.

If granted, will only be the cause of delay.

Whipping Posts for Tramps.

JAcKsoNv11LK, FLA, January THE e.
adjustment of Florida whipping post
has been indefinitely postponed. At the
opening of court this morning nearly every
prominent attorney made strong arguments
against the judges sentence. After consid-
erine the question some time, Judge Jones
finally announced that, though the sentence
was legal, he would give the tramps in Jail
the benefit of the doubt. Fifty were ar
raigned before him, and on their promise to
leave the county he discharged them. The
entire press of the state and the various re-
ligious oodies protested strongly against the
sentence, which doubtless had its effect on
the judges mind. He firmly announces,
however, that if others come here, as at first,
he will enforce his original sentence without
any leniency.

of the son and daughter has ai,eady

The old man, however, made his escape
when the other members of the family paid
the penalty of their crimes. But the vigi-
lantes, it seems, followed and caught him,
and he was Immediately informed that he
had but q short time to live, and anything
he had to say would be heard. He threw
furtive glance at the speaker and asked
about the rest, meaning his wife and chill
dren. The leader, without word, cast
glance upward, pointing to the limb OF .

Several persons disappeared while passing
along this trail, but as to their death have
nothing to say. A good deal of talk and
suspicion of foul play was heard, and de-
terminsd to move on south to Texas. This
is all I have to say. If they we're killed
at my house, it was done without my know

A fewwords were spoken by members OF the
band aside, when preparations we're at once
made to hang. A rope was placed around
his neck, and in short time the body Of
of Kelly, with his hands tied behind his
back, was swinging in the air. He was then
let down and asked to confess his crimes.
This he did in brief way. He said all the
members of his family were equally guilty.
He said in all they had killed and robbed
nine men and two women. He told where
the money was hidden that had been taken,
and gave up what he had upon his person.
He professed not to know where the muir

swung up and left to hang. On his person

healthy veteran of the Mexican war should
be 81 years old before he gets pension, to
the fact that enlisted servants who served
through the war are not entitled to pensions
and to the provisions of the law which re-
