TOPEKA. Kan. Oct 10-Secretsry
Mohler, OF the State Agricultural De-
partment has issued the following crop
report:
The correspondents of the board in their final
estimate just received at this office Of the aver
age product OF winter wheat per acre, raise
that product over the estimate OF a month ago

progressed throughout the State it was
found that the actual yield per aero
In most cases was higher than the
estimate previously placed upon it, One
months ago the average product per acre for
the State was estimated at 81 bushels II is
now aced at ;s.5s bushels per acre This is
believed to be conservative estimate, an
raises the total aggregate product of winter
wheat of the State TO Sc, 600. a4S bushels On the
other hand the average yield per acre of spring
wheat for the State Is reduced from IS to Is 46
bushels, giving an aggregate product of spring
wheat for the Sta lie OF 1.ls9 500 bushels and q
grand total product for the State OF s6.2i9S51
bushels.
II is yet too early date for the final estimate
Of the corn product of the State as that prod
uct can be determined accurately only after q
considerable portion of the crop has been har-
vested. 1t is believed. however. that the esti-
mate OF q month ago will be fully sustained.
This estimate on an area of 6, 0,693 acres gives
total corn product for the State Of 276, 54l s35
bushels.
With the exception Of hog cholera reported
in mild form in twelve counties Of the State,
stock Of all kinds is free from disease and is
reported in good condition.
During the month of September the condition
OF ground for wheat sowing was reported good
generally in the eastern portion Of the State.
while in the central and western counties it has
been dry-in many cases too dry to pillow, and
in consequence wheat sowing has been greatly
retarded. while in those counties which had
sufficient moisture wheat sowing was well adj
vanced October /. In nearly all the counties of
the State our correspondents say an increased
acreage OF wheat will be sown this fall over that
OF last year. In a number Of counties, however.
where September drought prevailed the acre
age sown will depend on the rainfall during the
month OF October.

THE INDIAN QUESTION.

Chfckasaw, Squaw Men Disqualincd-Ths
Crusade Against the Tribal System.
DENIsON, Tex, Oct 1O-Tbo Supreme
Court Of the Chickasaw Nation has given
decision sustaining the legislative
amendment to the Constitution In regard
to squaw men, or white men. and the
rights they acquired by marrying Indian
women. The whites claim that under tho
Constitution they have the same right to
hold property or office or vote as Indians,
and as this decision will operate directly
against them it will cause trouble and
will prove a prime factor in movement
to throw open to settlement all of the
Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations west of
the ninty- sixth parallel of latitude.
Fully S0per cent. of the inhabitants of the
Chickasaw county are white and they will
petition Congress to allot the lands in

OTHER INDIANS AND SEvERALTY.
GUTHRIE Ok Oct 1o.-The Daily News
contains a two column article written by
W. p. Thompson, who has Just returned
from another trip to the Iowa, Kickapoo
and Sac and Fox Indian reservations for
the purpose of ascertaining, if possible,
just how the Indians would receive the
Commission which is to be in Guthrie on
Saturday and whose intention it is to visit
the tribes mentioned and talk with them
as to taking the lands in sew
crafty. Mr.. Thompson was appoint
ed by the Iowas their attorney a
week ago and at that time that tribe was
about persuaded to accept the allotment
plan. Since then and during his absence
from the Iowas he learns that an influence
has been brought to bear on the Iowas by
the other tribes and several white men
counseled with them to change their
minds as 10 allotment. He says that the
Indians east OF Guthrie, who number in
all five tribes, are very much exercised
over the visit of the Commissioners and
keep on the go continually posting each
other as to developments. He speaks very
encouragingly of the country and says it
is far superior for agricultural purposes
to Oklahoma.

in a report which recommended TIE adop.
ton of q resolution which began by re-
citing the passage of the resolution of
three years ago that caused the trouble.

the most eminent grand master to enforce

the edict of the most eminent grand

But the committee were of the opinion
that the grand commandery and subord.
mate communicates of Iowa had been
punished sufficiently in being suspended
from Templar intercourse with the COM
manderies of the other States and
the order generally throughout the
country and recommended that the
order interdicting all Templar in
tercourse with the grand command
cry of Iowa and the other Knights
Templar of the United States be no longer
considered in force. The recommendation
of the committee found immediate favor
with the members of the grand encamp-

and in support of both sides and also in
which the love OF each for the order was
proven most pronounced and ardent.
