THE following estimates of acreage,
product and value of corn, wheat and
oats for each state and territory have
been prepared by the statistician of the
department Of agriculture:
Area of corn harvested, excluding aban-
doned or worthless acreage, $4,000. 900
acres; product, 1,456, 100000 bushels;
value, $646, 100000. Area of wheat,
37,40O,OOO acres; product, 456, 600, 900
bushels; value $3O9, 100000. Area in
oats, 26,OOO,OOO acres; product, esq.,
100000 bushels; value, 5000, 100000.
The reports of winter wheat do not
show much decrease of areas. In Texas
there is considerable increase, and slight
increase in some other states. The aver
decline appears to be between one and
two per cent. The condition is affected
somewhat by the dryness of the seed bed
in the district that suffered from drouth,
delaying seeding, termination and
growth. The late rains greatly impaired
the situation. The average of condition
is 95 per cent. The condition of the
winter rye continues very closely with
that of wheat.

My DEAR Mr.. LAMAR: When I deter

upon the bench of the supreme court, the
personal qualification afforded by the
tender to you of so honorable and suit
able place and the satisfactory convic-
ton that an important executive duty
would be performed we'll, led me almost
to forget that my action involved the
loss of your conscientious and valuable
aid and service in cabinet councils, which
enjoyed and appreciated. Your note of
to-day forces me to contemplate this
contingency with the most profound and
sincere regret. But since I know
that the separation you now insist upon
arises from that conception of public
duty which has always so guided your
conduct in your official relation, am
constrained to accept the resignation
you tender, hoping that it only antici-
pates your entrance upon the discharge
of higher and more congenial functions
than those now relinquished. What 1
have thus far written seems very formal
indeed. intended this, because 1 am
relations of positive affection which have
grown up between us need no expression
or Interpretation. And yet 1 find it
utterly impossible for me to finish this
note without assuring you that the
things which have characterized your
conduct and bearing in the position from
which you now retire-all your devotion
to your country and your chief; your
selfsacrifcing care and solicitation for
public interests; all the benefit which
your official services have conferred upon
your fellow countrymen, and all the
affection and kindness so often exhibited
toward me personally, shall constantly
remember with tenderness and gratitude.
Yours very sincerely,

4 WORD TO YOUNG MEN.

The importance of making wise po-
litical selection by a young man arriving
at his majority, cannot be overestimated.
He is called upon to array himself upon
one or the other side of issues fraught
with the gravest consequences, not to
himself only, but to his state and the
nation. And in this connection there is
a consideration which emphasizes the
importance of the maiden vote-it holds
the balance of power in the nation. If
cast solidly it would control both the ex-
ecutive and legislative branches of the
national government. The following,
from the Boston Journal is commended
to the attention of young men:
1.-THE republicaniss of the present are
less emotional and enkindling than those
of an earlier day, there is certainly moth
ing in the democratic party which makes
it alluring to young men. It is Bour-
BOMBED in its traditions and fossilized in
its management, and although for brief
periods and revenue only" it has made
precautions to reform, it has speedily
gone back to its "wallowing," with an
intensity of satisfaction which suggests
that as its natural condition. The re-
publican party, on the other hand, stands
for certain great principles which may
well command the loyalty of young men:
1t holds to a genuine reform of the civil
service 1t stands for a treatment of
tariff along the lines of protection to
American manufacturers and American
labor. 1t insists on fair ballot and an
honest count, north and south. 1t an
tagonizes the dominance of the saloon
power and offers the most effective polit-
ical agency for restraining it. Upon
these and other issues it appeals con-
fdently to young men who, as they come
of age and consider what party associates
they shall form, will naturally be drawn
toward the party which stands for the
right side Of current issues.

What "PecuIiar" Means.

Applied to Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
word peculiar is of great Importance. 1t
means that Hoods Sarsaparilla is differ
emit than other preparations in many
vital points, which make it thoroughly
honest and reliable medicine. 1t is pc
culiar, in strictly medical sense: First,
in the combination of remedial agents
used. Second, in the proportion in which
they are prepared. Third, in the process
by which the active curative properties
of the medicine are secured. Study these
points well. They mean volumes. They
make Hoods. Sarsaparilla peculiar in
its curative powers. as it accompishes
wonderful cures hitherto unknown, and
which give to Hoods Sarsaparilla aclear
right to the title of the greatest blood
purifier ever discovered.

THERE'S a lively contest for the seat

THERE'S aively contest for the seat Of
Speaker Carlisle by Mr.. Thoebe, who
claims to have received more votes at
the polls than were cast for Mr.. Carlisle.
1t is claimed by Thoebe that when it was
discovered that there was strong pro-
liability that Mr.. Carlisle was defeated,
steps were taken to fix the returns from
the remote counties, and that they were
falsifed and altered, and in some pre-.
cincts votes were cast and received on
the day after election. Among other spe-
cifc charges is one that the attorney for
Thoebe was corrupted by a friend OF
Carlisle so that he not only abandoned
the contest but took very important evil
dence with him. -
