PARSONS, Aug. 6.--The harvest nf the
wheat and oats crop in Southern kansa,
is not completed. The wheat crop i,
larger than ever known in the state. The
oats have been damaged throushou
this section more or less by what tho
farmers call "black rust" which cut that
Irop short about one-fourth. The thresh
ng of these two crops is well under way
The farmers planted large acreage Of
of corn this year, most Of which
is from three weeks to month
late, owing to the heavy rains which
prevailed at the time it was plant
ed, preventing the farmers from giving it
the proper attention. However, the crop
will have ample time to mature before
the fall frosts set in, and the prospects
for an enormous crop OF corn are flatter-
ing.
The apple crop this year will be light,
the trees not being so full as last year, bul
the increased size and improvement in
quality will compensate largely for this.
The peach crop is lar oer and better than
ever before. The trees are loaded to such
an extent that they are breaking down in
Il number OF places, and farmers are fear
lul that the overcrop will prove damaging
to the orchards.
Shade trees, under the favorable condi-
ton Of the weather, have been very ex-
uEerant, most of them having had u sec.
ond growth.
Small fruit and berries have been plenti-
ful, and the crop OF grass, clover, timothy,
millet, ETC., which, after ALL is the prin-
cipal stock food for the "Jayhawk"
farmer, is simply immense.

Wanted-AuO OUera House.

W. s. Cleveland, who will be remem.
bcred here as the handsome and talented
manager Of the Haverly-Cleveland min.
strels, writes friend here asking if Santa
Fe has yet built an opera house, or, fnot
is there hall in town that can be fitted
up for the appearance Of the famous min.
strel organization this fall. The New
MEXICAN is sorry to note that no improve,
ment in the line of amusement halls has
been made since Mr.. Cleveland's troupe
was last with us. A great deal OF pleasure
and comfort, and business Is lost to the
people of Santa Fe by reason of having nc
opera house or suitable public hall. With
every business interest in the city takin.
on prosperous season it does seem tha
an opera house has become one OF thu
needs of the times with US. What shal
we do about it?

THE BEHRTNG SEA.
Escape of the Black Diamond-A Chance
for Il Lively Racket.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Actiu1 Secretary
Wharton was asked yesterday ii the state
department had anything to say respect
ing the escape o the British sealer Black
Diamond. "The department" replied
Wharton, "has not been advised concern
inI the Black Diamond or any other YES
sci has no news whatever on the subject,
and therefore has no statement to make
in regard to its future action in the mat
ter"
Have you seen the statement that it
was desired to let the Black Diamond es-
cape, after taking the seals, and therefore
but one man was put aboard her from the
Rush ?"
No." said Wharton, 81 have not seen
that statement and have no means OF
knowing that it is true"
Continuing, Wharton said: "This
whole mntter of the seizure OF the vessels,
so far as it has gone, is under the control
and direction OF The treasury department.
If there is any blame attached to these
seizures, it must be laid at the doors OF
congress. 1t passed law directing the
president to issue his proclamation ex
tendingto the American waters in Beh-
ring sea the same protection over the seal
and other fur bearing animals as is ac-
corded the fur-bearing inhabitants OF
Alaska and the waters thereof, by the
general act of fisheries, and that law IS
simply being enforced. That is what We
are here for, to carry out the laws that
congress enacts. So far this question has
not become an International one. The
state department has not been informed
officially of any part of the proceedings,
and therefore has nothing to act upon"

The Creek ILvestigatiOli,

LITTLE Rock, Aug. 6.-The Guzette's
(Muskogee, |. T.) correspondent wires as
follows: "The evidence taken in the in
vestigation of the misappropriation OF
money by the Greek delegates vas filed to-
day by Agent Gardner. The taking of
testimony abruptly closed yesterday after
the delegates testified that they had paid
ex-Gov. Crawford $228,000 alleged to be
unaceounted for. Agent Gardner ex-
presses the opinion that ex-Gov. Crawford
will be indicted by the grand jury. The
delegates are on y responsible to their
constituency, many of whom boldly as
sert that the enormous fee claimed to have
been paid the attorney is ruse to shift
the burden on Gov. Crawford, who, in
some way, will exonerate himself"

ST. Louis, Aug. 5,-It is given out on
authority OF a postoIice inspector whose
headquarters are in this city that the
famous bandit and train robber, Black
Bart, was in st. Louis for ten days prior
to last Friday, and it is suspected that he
had something to do with, if he did not
direct in person, the train robbery near
Kansas City lust midnight Bart took
his meals at the Hotel Brunswick res
taurant while in the city, and according
to the statements o! the clerk of the hotel
he had cords of money which he dis
played ostentatiously, while he lost no
opportunity to surround himself with
mystery. He did not give his name,
however, nor say what business he was
engaged in, but attempted to convey the
idea that he was far west farmer. He
ordered large lunch at the restaurant
Friday evening, and said he intended to
leave the city by train, since which time
he has not been ssen. 1t is not known
in what direction he went, but there is a
strong disposition to connect him with
the train robbery.

The Kansas Way.

BAXTER SPRINGS, Kas., Aug. c.
There has been considerable excitement
during the past week over the discovery
of lead and zinc ore in various parts OF
the city. Several mining companies have
been organized, and are sinking shafts
with an assurance OF finding rich bodies
of ore. Already one company has taken
out some very fine speciments OF both
lead and jock, and the showing on the
Harris farm, one mile north of the city,
is OF paying quantity at the depth OF
twenty-five feet. The Baxter Springs
Mining company have struck good zinc
ore, but owing to the volume of water have
stopped work until they can put in steam

The Santa Fe Takea q Hand.

CnicAao, Aug. G.-The manager OF the
AtclliSon, Topeka K Santa Fe railroad
has sent note to Chairman Midge Y, OF
the Western Freight association, notify.
ing him that the Santa Fe is preparing IL
new schedule for freight between Chicago
and Kansas City and that thereafter it
will refuse to divide business between
those points with any OF the Chicago
Kansas City roads. This, ii persisted in,
must result in the disruption OF the usSo-
citation. The following is the notice.
81. w. Midgely, Chairman Dear Sir {;
About one year ago the AtChison, Topeka
& Santa Fe company opened its Chicago
line for traffic. 1t was then thought best
pending the action of other roads, not to
put in effect the policy adopted by nearly
all ot its competitions. e., to make
through rates to Chicago exclusively on
its own line, hut to continue its through
rates and divisions with other lines east
OF Kansas City. In view, however, of re.
ductions recently made in rates on live
stock from points vest OF Kansas City to
Chicago and st. Louis on a lower basis
than those now in effect, it becomes
necessary for this company, in protection
of its own interests, to change its policy
above referred to, in so far as live stock
traffic to Chicago is concerned, and to
adopt the policy in effect on the lines of
most of its competitors, viz: To make
its through rates on live stock from all
parts OF its system to Chicago overits own
line only. This plan will be adopted on
the issue Of the new tariff, which is now
under consideration, and which is made
necessary by the reduction of the Kansas
City-Chicago live stock rates made effect
i've few days since,
W. F. WHITE, Traffic Manager.
In other words, the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe, if it carries out the aDove
threat, will cut off, not only the Alton,
but the st. Paul and Wabash from all par
in its business originating west
of Kansas City, except if taken after pay
ing full local rates to Kansas City, thereby
lowering the former Kansas City-C Chicago
on this business. 1t is an ex-
act duplicate Of the stand taken by the
Rock Island.

Two Good Yarns.

A sultan OF Morocco requiring an
executioner, ono day a man arrived to
offer his services.
"Are you really clever at it?" asked
the monarch. Scan you cut off a
head at one blow?"
"Try me-"
"Very good. Come into the court
yard. Take your sword. There hap
pens to be criminal waiting to be
beheaded."
the headsman obeyed, went down
into the courtyard, was confronted
with his victim, and swept out his
sword across the mans throat. The
head did not move.
"Clumsy wretch" cried the sultan.
"Sire," said the executioner, with
out wincing, shave you snuff box?"
ayes, what for?"
"Do me the favor of holding the
snuff under the criminals nose"
The sultan did as he was asked.
The man succeed and the head fell off
at the feet of the astonished monarch.
This was good stroke of work, or |
am very much mistaken.
M. Richepin, the famous novelist,
has a rather quaint story, still in the
same dismal vein, however. The
hero of one of his romances is the
most luckless being on the face of the
earth. Nothing goes we'll with him
His wife betrays him, his friends rob
him, and at las he is condemned IL
death for a crime he has not commit
ted. On the scaiiold at least it NIGH
be hoped that he should die in peace
hut his i'll luck pursues him eve1
there. He turns to the executions
and tells him that to him he has be
oueathed his fortune, and the execu
, toner is SO much moved by this &C
. of generosity that he only cuts off hi
victims head at the sixth blow.

A FROZEN BLACK SNAKE.
He Broke 1t in Two and Killed the
Head With the Tail.

St. Louis Globe Democrat
Samuel Snowden, who lives on the
outskirts of East Orange, N. j., tells
a remarkable snake story. He went
to a barn to get some wood, and in
the woodpile saw what he thought
was a dark and notified stick OF wood
about two feet long. He drew it
from the pile, but suddenly dropped
it as if 1t was hot. The supposed
stick, he found, was torpid black
snake about four feet long. 1t had
crawled into the woodpile and was
frozen stiff.
Mr.. Snowden picked up the snake
by the tail and playfully shook it at
his little son. To his SURPRISE the
frozen snake broke in two, and the
head fell to the ground. For few
seconds the tail end quivered and
then was apparently dead. The head,
however, suddenly thawed, and ex'
hibi.ed remarkable activity, gliding
back toward the woodpile. Then
Mr.. Snowden recovered from hi.
establishment and battered the life
out of the head with the snakes tail
Snowden has the two pieces of snake
and. will have them stuffed anc
mounted.
