CantOn-It is somewhat difficult TO esti-
mate the number of acres planted in
wheat in this (Yan ZaudD county, as
none but the prairie lands were sown last
fall. The western end of the county
doesn It grow anything scarcely except
wheat and corn, and the principal part
being wheat. The crop is in excellent
average of that of last year.
WILBARGER COUNTY.
VernOn-The prospect for wheat crop
and a large one, is very assuring. Farm
ers from all parts of the country say that
the wheat is much better than at this
time last year, and from the best infor-
nation that can be derived there are at
least % Gee acres sowed in Wilbarger
county this year against 1000 acres last
year, and the country tributary to us has
sown many thousands of acres more than
last year.
WILLIAMSON COUNTY.
Liberty Hill-The wheat areage for the
present season in Williamson county is
fairly estimated at - 900 acres, which is
a decrease of about per cent as COM
pared with last season. The general
condition of the crop is unusually good.
There are no signs so far of worms or
bugs. The present indications are i'll
favor of an abundant yield.
WISE COUNTY.
Decatur-Wise county has planted
about u 900 acres of wheat, which is an
increase of 90 per cent over 1888, and it
is IN fine condition. The ground is
thoroughly wet and will not require much
spring rain to make the crop.
YOUNG COUNTY.
Graham-About $500 acres is a fair es-
innate of the wheat sOwn in Young cOun-
ty this season. The last eight or ten
days OF warm weather have been very
advantageous to wheat, and the present
condition of the crop is fully up to that
of last year.
The very heavy rains in November pre-
vented many farmers from putting in as
large crop as they would have done if
the ground had not been too wet for plow-
ing.
The crop of this county last year aver
aged about twenty bushels to the acre,
and the prospects are good for like re-
suits. The acreage this season is about
the same as last year.

Paint Rock-About 200 acres of land
have been planted in wheat in this county
This is the first ever planted here, and
the prospects so far are good. Until last

slowly improving and more small grain
will be planted this spring than has ever
been planted in the county before.

JacksDoro-The acreage of wheat IN
Jack county is perhaps 20 per cent. less
than last year. There are two reasons
for this. In the early autumn the land
was too dry and hard TO pillow, then only
g short time, about two weeks, in proper
condition fer blowing and seeding, after
that too wet. The growing wheat gener-
ally looks fine, however, a few crops on
wettish lands have been injured by the
excessive rains. 1t is said by all old set
tiers that more rain has fallen this winter
than any other in the past thirty years.
Farmers are in fine spirits expecting an
other bountiful crop year.

Of wheat in tins county this year is about
80 900 to 2S, 900 acres over last year, an

from different parts of the county are to
the effect that prospects are at least 40

last year, and if the season continues
favorable as it has been for the past few
weeks the yield will be the best for many
years. The warm rains seem to have
been exceedingly wholesome for this
crop.

End Of the Murder Theory In tho Gowen
Case.


End Of the Murder Theory In tho Gowen
Case.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-Captain Lin.
den, the Philadelphia detective who came
here yesterday to investigate the cause
OF Mr.. Governs death, processes to be
thoroughly satisfied that Mr.. Gowen
killed himself, and he returned to Phil
adelphia last evening. So far as known
here he has finished his investiga.
tion. Detective Linden took the pistol
with which tho deed was done to Mr..
Walford, who sold it to Mr. Gowen. Mr..
Walford established its identity, and,
removing the pearl stock of the revolver,
showed where he had put his
price mark on the inside. He
looked up his sales-book and
found that he was mistaken in say
ing that he sold the weapon Friday
evening, and that he had sold it Thurs
day evening. This destroyed the prin-
cipal basis for the murder theory, as it
made it probable that Mr.. Gowen had
shot himself eayly Friday evening, while
1t was still light. and thus accounted for
the fact that the gas was not burning
when the body was found. One result
OF the tragedy has been the issuance by
the chief of police Of positive order
that hereafter when violent deeds have
been committed tho room in which the
affair occurred shall be kept just as it
was found until the coroner's arrival.
