KANSAS CROPS.

| Circular From the Secretary Of the State
Board Of AKriculture Which Makes =
Very FiatterinE showing.
TOPEKA. Kan. July 6-Hon. II. Aohler
secretary Of the State Board of Axri-
culture. has issued the following circular:
The excellent condition of crops reported
| . month ago has been generally main.
tanned throughout the State. as shown by
| reports now in from correspondents Of this
board.
Excessive rains In some sections in
Northeastern and Central as well as North
western Kansas are reported al havin &
| caused coasiderabls damage to crops, es-
psctally On bottom lands Wheat and oats
IN such localities have suffered from rust
Corn and sorghum hsve been retarded
In their growth and many fields have be-
como weedy, the farmers for many days
not being able to cultivate them by reason
OF incessant rains The area Of wheat
and oats thus affected Is comparatively
small and probably will not very materi-
ally lower the aggregate product Of the
State in these crops
Corn and all forage crops are IN a
promising condition, while potatoes and
all kinds of grasses, native and calti-
waited, are in extraordinary good condi-
ton.
Wheat-The wheat harvest has been in
progress in the State since the first week
in June and will not be completed in the
northern portion of the State until July
10 (including spring wheat harvest).
Much difficulty in some sections has been
experienced in cutting wheat with binders
by reason Of the soft condition of the soil.
The crop. however, for the most part will
be saved in good condition.
Spring Wheat-The estimated product
per acre is placed by our correspondents at
eighteen bushels. On an area of 81 920
tad I1f
product of spring wheat for this year of
9ss, 500 bushels. This product added to
the total product of winter wheat as esti-
mated by our correspondents a month ago
gives a grand total of wheat for 1889 of
"a, F6O, $50 bushels. The extent of damage
to the wheat crop from excessive rains
and rust can not be fully known yet but
it is believed it will not materially affect
the aggregate product for the State.
Corn-The stand of corn is generally
good and with the exception of that on
bottom land excessively wet and other
fields neglected in cultivation the plant
although not SO far advanced as usual at
this date. is in a very excellent condition
with an abundant supply of moisture on
on hand.
Oats-Oats have made an extraordinary
growth and Notwithstanding the serious
damage to the crop by excessive rain and
rust in some localities, it will probably
aggregate the heaviest production ever
grown in the State.
Summary-Corn, compared with full
stand and unimpaired vitality, 81 per
cent; oats, compared with full stand and
unimpaired vitality, SO per cent. barley,
compared with full stand and unimpaired
vitality, 96 per cent; potatoes. compared
with full average condition, ITO; millet,
compared with full average condition, SO;
sorghum. compared with full average con-
dition, 81; broom corn. compar ed with full
average condition, 80; fax, compared with
full average condition, 81; tame grasses,

No Bail For BegEs.

CHICAGO. July 3-The attorney of John
r. Beggs called on Judge Longenecker
yesterday to see if he would not admit
Beggs to bail. The Judge said no. en-
phatically. He said that he would not

SHERIFF AND DEPUTY KILLED.

Anti-Bald Knobbers XIII tho Sheriff OF
fancy County and His Deputy.
ST. LOUIS, July GA special from Ozark,
Mo-, says: Granville Vaughn, a thor
oughly reliable gentleman, who resides in
this county, has just arrived from Kirby
vile, fancy County, with the intelligence
that at the Fourth of July celebration
there the two Miles brothers. Bill
and Jim, shot and killed the sheriff
of fancy County, g. E. Branson.
and his deputy, Ed Funk. The latter
was the deputy who assisted Sheriff Bran
son in the encounter with the burglars at
Cummings store on Bear creek last week.
in which the alleged detective, Dennis,
was killed by young Combs.
The Miles boys are under Indictment for
the murder of the Bald Knob leader, Cap
tain N. N. Kinney, at Forsythe last August
and were to be tried for that crime in
Springfield as soon as the new Grimm al
court there should be organized. Their
cases were taken from fancy County to
Green, on a change of venue. and they
have been out on bail for the last three
months. James Berry is still in the
Springfield Jail, charged with being an
accessory to the murder of Kinney.
The account of the double murder at
Kirbyville is to the effect that the Miles
brothers were ordered to disarm by the
sAoiAA' OuC iHstoau oTeW thou weapons
and opened fire on Branson and Funk,
and killed them both.
Sheriff Branson was elected last fall,
and like all the fancy County officers.
was a Republican. His brother, R s.
Branson is the present county and circuit
clerk of Tanssy. The Bransons belonged to
the Bald Knob organization and the Miles
brothers to the Sticker or anti-Knobber
faction. The duty of preserving the peace
in fancy County will fall temporarily into
the hands of Coroner Madison Day and il
is highly probable that he will have his
hands full, for the dance of death which
has been opened up in the last two weeks
will stir men to madness.

Patchwork BreakabIes.

Boston is the abode of the arts, writes
 St. Louis Globe correspondent. It is not
 surprising, therefore, that gentle maiden of
 the modern Athens, expert through life
 time spent in the pursuit of sesthetic philos-
 ophy, should have invented new plan for
 disposing usefully of expensive broken
 crockery It is estimated by dealers that of
 such fragile merchandise five per cent. is de- stroyed by breakage before reaching the consumer. With goods of the more costly
 sort the loss is of serious consideration, and
 this the virgin disciple of the muses above
 referred to is trying in small part to save as means of income to herself. She buys the fractured china and brittle ware of the local merchants and fixes it over again in one shape or another for sale. Some of it is made into what she calls patchwork" be- ing composed of all manner of scraps fast ened together with cement and rivets, so as to produce the queerest shaped vessels and most grotesque bits of bric-a brac ever seen l in this world. The apartment she occupies in the Fremont studio building is fairly \ lined, as to it's walls, with her handiwork, which bears weird resemblance to Cyprl- ote or other antique collection of back num- Der pottery A paint brush yielded with ! dexterous touch serves to conceal the Joln- | ings here and there, and so deftly are the | alien parts united-no two of necessity hav- | ing originally belonged to the same article | that one might well suppose the cups and jugs, etc., thus produced to have sprung anew from the potter's hands. Some things of course are comparatively easy to restore for instance, cup without 6 handle, which, | after having what remains of the broken l part taken off with grindstone, is as good ! as ever for bouillon bowl. Other recepta- ! cles and ornaments may be in like manner
 adapted by persou who has genius in this 1 line. But tho 'tpatch-work" turned out by l the gentle maiden from miscellaneous pieces l finds an excellent sale as well.

the records of the Pasteur institute The re- turn shows that in 1887 there were sixty-four British subjects treated at the Pasteur insti- tute. Of these five died-viz.: Lord Doner- allo, who was sixty-seven years of age, whose limbs were bitten in ten places, whose wounds were not cauterized, and whose injuries were received from dog recognized to he rabid by veterinary surgeon; John Hagden, aged eight years, another victim, was bitten four times in the head by dog recognized to be rabid by the experimental test, he was not cauterized, and he died from rabies during treatment six days after being bitten; Mar tin Cahill, aged thirty, not cauterized, AL bert Kirkham, aged five, and Frederick Lindly, aged twenty-five, both cauterized, but all three bitten by animals recognized to be rabid, died each within one month of be- ing bitten. In the year 1888, M. Pasteur had twenty one British subjects under his care No deaths occurred among them, but one, woman named Herminie Periodic, who was bitten on the 2d of December last by 8 dog recognized as rabid, is still undergoing treatment
