hand and axe in the other, cut his hand
quite severely, requiring the use of needle
and thread to sew up the wound. Bliss

foot through the dasher, whereupon the
colt gave it a kick, necessitating the use
Of crutches or canes for few days. Dea.
c. W. Hastings. while cutting wood in his
door yard. let his axe glance on to his foot,
which disabled that member somewhat.
Frank Hastings, being of similar mind cut
himself while mending fence. H. c. Whit
comb, while driving a pair of steers, tiirt-
ed the end of a whip-lash into his eye, cut
ting a cash just below the sight. DR..
Locke, who was called, thought the eye
would come out all right if the patient kept
indoors and quiet for while. Edward
Lawrence, who let himself for the season
to q. w Dimick, while leading a horse to
or from water, through some caper of the
animal tested the strength of wire fence ;
consequence, a severe cut across the mus
Gle of his arm above the elbow, one in his

d
Business.
EVANSVILLE, June S.-When the limited
from Chicago rolled in last night gen
tlemen stepped off and caused sensa-
tion here when he registered as John F.
Beggs, Chicago. He was an important
witness in the Cronin case. Coroner
Hertz thought he had got through with
him so far as the inquest was concerned,
but information reached him after ad-
journment Thursday night which
convinced him tat he must put
Mr.. Beggs on the witness stand
again. Yesterday morning the coroner
sent an officer to subpoena John f. Beggs
but it was returned with the information
that Mr.. Beggs' Office was closed, and
that a card on the door stated that he
had gone to GAINESVILLE, Wis, and would
return Saturday noon.
Mr.. Beggs was assigned to room Al at
the Grand. He did a great deal of cor
responding and had to have letters mail
ed on the 1925 train to Chicago yester-
day morning, After eating breakfast
he left on the 1890 train for the south
without his dinner. He received many
kilograms while in the city and seemed
full of business. When be left he was &C.
companied by man named j. O'Bren,
who was not registered, but who left or
ders if any more kilograms arrived for
Mr.. Beggs to have them repeated to Chi
csgO to u. O'Brien, Box 537, Chicago"
It is not known whether they went to
Chicago or not.

CROP PROSPECTS.
The Showing of Official Returns

The Showing of Official Returns
WARRINGTON, June 10.-The June re
turns to the department. of agriculture
show a slight increase in the winter
wheat area seeded, but the breadth har-
vested may be possibly million acres
more than in the last crop, largely from
Kansas and California.
The condition of winter wheat still re-
mains comparatively high, though
IT has fallen three points during the
last month and averages SO for the coun-
try. The following state averages are
given: New York, SO; Pennsylvania, So;
Virginia, 81; Ohio, 88; Michigan, 80; ILL
nois, 80; Missouri, So; Kansas, SO; Cal1for-
MIA, SO.
The are of spring wheat has apparent
ly incI eased about three per cent. Pre-
liminary estimates show a loss of three
per cent. in Wisconsin and one in Min
nesota, and gain of one in Iowa, three
in Nebraska and seven in Dakota; also a
gain in the noun tain region. Further
Investigations may disclose the changes
of the year more exactly. The condition
of spring wheat is high, except in
parts of Dakota where it has suffered
from the drouth. The averages are as
follows: Wisconsin, So; Minnesota, SO;
Dakota, SO; Nebraska, SO; Iowa, SO.
The condition is generally high
in the mountain districts. The average is
nearly So for the entire spring wheat.
An increase from two to three Fer cent
in the area of oats is reported while the
condition in seven points below the nor
NAL standard of full corn. The area of
barley is about the same as last year, ana
its average condition So. Rye made no
perceptibie advance in area, and it's gen
eral average condition So.

Difficulty in Having the Indians Sign the
Treaty.

Difficulty in Having the Indians Sign the
Treaty
ROSE BUD, OAK, June S.-The com
mlssioners have been talking with Hol-
low Horn Bear, the recognized leader of
the opposition. Strenuous efforts were
made to satisfy him that the result OF
favorable action will be beneficial r
the future interests of the Indians.
Signatures are being taken. but not as
rapidly as yesterday. The Indians are
evidently awaiting the action of Hollow
Horn Bear, At noon $50 had sign ed.
The commissioners held another coun-
Gil this afternoon. Hollow Horn Bear,
Two Strike, and High Hawk made
speeches In opposition, bssing their OBJ
jections on the ground 5hat the treaty of
1868 has not yet expired. Nearly all the
Indians are in favor of it but the prom
lneRt chiefs have been unquestionably
influenced by some persons to oppose it.
If the source from which this influence
emanetes can be found, there will be no
question but that the Indians will sign.
The commissioners appreciate the i'm
portance of success here as influencing
the result elsewhere. While the indica-
tlons are favorable it is impossible to
predict the result. At five o'clock six
hundred Indians signed.

wered: "Under no condition of circum-
stances of which / can conceive shall I
ever sanction another strike"
But sir" broke in the questioner,
suppose reduction of wages should
occur on the Union Pacific system, where
the brotherhood is so thoroughly equip
ped as to obtain the granting of every
thing they ask, would not you authorize
q strike to resist it?
Without moments hesitation the chief
replied: 'No sir; I would not l trust
and believe that no reduction of wages is
TO be made, but should there be and the
mex follow my advise, they will accept
the reduction. I shall never sanction an
other strike"
Chief Arthur stopped and the meeting
adjourned. Murmurs of discomfort have
been heard ever since. It was we'll known
that the chief had strong dislike for
strikes, but that his conservatism was so
extreme as his speech showed him to be,
1t was never dreamed,

WASHINGTON, June 10-TEe following
general order was issued this evening
from the postofice department.: In con-
nection with the future management of
the railroad mail service, the general
uperlntendent wishes to convey to those
engaged in it, his determination to ad
vance Its efficiency and usefulness, the
accomplishment of which can only be at
tanned by the earnest and intelligent Co
operation of uperintendents and
postal clerks. Every one attached
to the organization will be expected TO
perform his full duty; closely observing
and obeying the postal laws and regula-
tions as we'll as the orders and instruc-
tions that from time to time are
issued for his information and guidance
A partial enforcement of the discipline of
civil service will not be satisfactory,
neither car excuses be accepted for a
neglect of duty, for irregularities result
ing from cerelessness or i2atIen-
ton, nor for misdemeanors of
any kind. Clerks are required TO keep
themselves posted upon the distributing
assigned to them; to be familiar with the
schedule of connections and with the
book of instructions, to study the weekly
bulletin of general orders prepared
in each division and TO closely examine
and note special orders issued by those
who have authority over them.
1t is prevalent belief that instructions
relating to checking of errors
are not strictly followed; and it is
sup posed that in many instances clerks
have agreed among themselves not to
check each other, thus defeating the
purpose of one of the most essential
methods which has been instituted for the
betterment of the general service.
Tt should be understood that measures
will be taken to ascertain who disregard
these orders and replace them with
those who are more diligent
and faithful. To those who
perform their duty and by their cspa-
biIity and interest merit advancement,
and every consideration will
be given in filling advanced
positions. Particular attention in
selection for promotion will be paid to
the records for efficiency in distribution,
obedience to orders and good moral
character. J. LowRIE BELL,
General Supt.
