resume of the litigation and contests which
have prevailed in this State during the past
few years and draw deductions therefrom.
Considerable space is given to discussion
of the causes of railroad accidents and an
Endorsement of the recommendation of the
Massachusetts, board that some legislation
be passed to prevent trespassing upon the
tracks, which is the cause of many more fa-
talties than any other. Since September 30,
1885,, one hundred and four persons have
been killed upon the railroads in this State
OF whom 40 were employees of the roads. OF
ffty-nine not in the railroad employ twenty
seven were trespassers, most of them being
pedestrians who were walking upon the
track. During the same time but twelve
persons have been killed upon crossings and
but six while coupling cars. Steam heating,
automatic couplers and train brakes are dis
cussed to some extent, but the board takes
the ground that nothing is to be gained by
further legislation upon these subjects at
this time. of fares and freights they con-
slider as whole that our State has lower
rates for passengers and freight than can be
found 10 any other in which railroad busi-

Diekinson's Outlook,

The Kansas Farmer has this week an
extensive write-up of the condition of
Kansas crops. From it we take the
following regarding Dickinson county's
crop out look:
Wheat is simply superb, all headed
out, and larger heads than usual; acre
age. compared with last year, 150 per
cent. The above statement will apply
to oats. The stand of corn is fine,
fields have been once and twice Guilt
waited, and the plant is making a good
sturdy growth. Potatoes are enjoying
the moist weather of the past month
and are making a vigorous growth.
early varieties in bloom; mulching is
much practiced here. Kaffir corn, mile
maize, African maize and mangel
wurzel are largely grown this year.
NoXious insects are harmless as yet;
while the hessian fly luxuriates in
moist, cloudy weather, such a condi-
ton of the atmosphere knocks the
chinch bug and the potato bug out of
time; there is abundance of the perfect
insects, but no larvae as yet. The past
month has been remarkable for wind.
storm and rain; the south half of the
county had disastrous storm, the hail
destroyed many fields of wheat and
oats, and the wind many dwellings and
barns. Fruits will be abundant except
the apple crop; the blossoms were de-
StrOyed by the tarniSh bug.
