All agree that there was never more
moisture in the soil of Kansas than
there is now, at this season of the year.
Yet that will not suffice to make the
great staple crop of the state, corn.
Fields here ami there in the bottoms
are perhaps sufficiently advanced to
make an average yield if no more rain
should come, but that is all. To make
full crop, two or three timely rains,
or even more, are needed. That we
shall get them, seems probable.

In digging a grave in Potter's Field,
in the AtchisOn cemetery last Satur-
day, the sexton came upon a corpse
that had lain in the ground for some
time. 1t was buried about two feet
beneath the surface, and was tumbled
into the hole, as you would bury a
dog, no coffin being used. It was
dressed in a common suit of clothes,
but had nothing about it by which it
could be identified.

THE RAILROAD CO MPRoMIsE,
Its Nature Explained to Commit
tee Of Legislators.

CoLCoRD, N. H. July 10.-The House rail-
road committee gave Ihearing this morning
In the representatives hall, to counsel for
the Concord and Boston & Maine systems.
There was large attendance of members,
and great interest was manifested in the
proceedings. The first speaker was Gen.
Charles Ii. Burns of Wilton, of counsel for
the Boston & Maine He remarked that for
some ten days earnest and mutual efforts
had been made to harmonic the questions at
issue between two great railroad corpora
tions. These efforts had for their object the
adjustment of railroad issues in this State
not only for this session and this year, but
perhaps for generation. At the last hear
ing counsel for both sides only held out the
hope of a satisfactory settlement. This
morning, however, he was happy to say that
so far as the two great systems are con-
cerned he and Frank s. Streeter, the latter of
counsel for the Concord, were able to state
to the committee just what legislation Is re-
spectively desired, and it was the earnest
desire of all interested that the points to be
outlined would be approved by the COM
mittee and by them incorporated in bill to
be reported to the House and recommended
for passage.
Gen. Burns then outlined the features of
the measure desired as already indicated in
these dispatches. Mr.. Streeter, who fol-
lowed, spoke in the same line.

tended?" by saying there should be no long
windness about 1t.
Rev. A. II. Hill of Meriden, Ct, to the
question, "Are church members to be per-

ANOTHER PRIZE FIGHT.
The John L. Sullivan of the cricke
Family vanquishes a Rival.
[Kennebec journal.


A correspondent of the Journal, writing
from Togus, on Saturday last, says that as
himself and another person were going
through piece of woods by narrow foot
path, they heard a loud chirping as from lit
tie birds. On stopping to ascertain from
whence the sound proceeded, they found it
came from the ground, apparently from the
path, little distance in advance Of them.
Approaching cautiously. they discovered
three large black crickets, two Of which
were lighting desperately, while the other
was looking on. 1t was apparently hard
fought battle, but the combatants kept up
their chirping noise all the time. They
could be heard long distance. AS our cor
respondent and his companion drew nearer
to them, the cricket which appeared TO be
the only spectator, withdrew to the grass at
one side of the path, still watching the con-
tiict, which went on vigorously, the fighters
not appearing to notice the approach Of the
men, though they stood almost directly over
them. At one time during the fight one
cricket lodged the other, just as gamecock's
do in an encounter. The cricket on top ap-
peared to be getting the best Of the fight,
when the under one jumped, throwing the
other fellow, after which the encounter in
creased in violence, the erickets putting in
fearful blows. This lasted for about three
minutes, when one ran off, while the one
left in possession of the field went and
found the third, which seemed pleased to
meet him, although the fellow could but just
crawl so badly, had he been punished"
Probably" writes our correspondent, 'the
affair was the result OF love scrape."

Or. Bashford's New Charge.

The Buffalo Courier Of recent date has
this pleasant notice of DR.. Bashford:
"The Delaware Avenue NJ. E. Church will
soon have need to look for another pastor,
the present incumbent, the Rev. DR.. James
w. Bashford, having been on Monday elect
cd to the presidency of the Ohio Wesleyan
University at Delaware, Ohio. TO a report
For the last few years DR.. Bashford has been
constantly importuned to accept positions in
various educational institutions, this being
the seventh college presidency that has been
offered him. Till the present instance he has
uniformally refused to accept. preferring the
gutter but no less arduoas duties of pastor
ate. Finally however, acting upon the adj
vice of his friends and the dictates of his
own better Judgment, he decided, under GER
tain conditions, to accept the present very
iattering offer. These conditions were that
the church be not pressed to find another
that period of fifteen months, or one year
from next September, elapse before asking
him to enter upon the discharge of his duties
He felt that in his justice to his congregation
he could not ask them to select successor
hastily.
"A week ago he wrote the college trustees
to this effect, and their subsequent action
was taken with full knowledge of his condi.
tions. DIR. Bashford left for Delaware, o.
last evening, and will return Friday.
THE university in question is the largest
of its class in Ohio, and with the possible
exception Of the Northwestern Wes
leyan University at Evanston. Ill.
in the United States. Last year il
had $40 pupils. 1t was founded
in 1S49, Bishop Thompson being its frs
president. Its curriculum is the same a.

cal nor sectarian school. Among the pupils
are representatives from 25 States and sever
foreign countries,
The salary is the same as Is paid by thC

MRS. AYERS sEx-HUSBAND AppEAas'
Ne Wants Their Child Left the
Care Of Miss Howard,
And Begins Legal Proceedings In a
Chicago Court.
MRS. Aver Says This 10 Only a New
Form Of Persecution.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 10.-Application was
made yesterday by Herbert G. Aver. the
former husband of Harriet Hubbard Aver.
before Judge Shepard for an order Of In
junction to restrain his ex-wife from taking
their daughter Margaret, aged thirteen. frem
the care Of Blanche Willis Howard, the
novelist, who now has the girl under her
tutelage at STUTTGART, Germany.
In the late suit regarding the Recamier
preparations, Miss Howard wrote severe
letters against Mrs. Aver and the latter
swore she would be revenged. She Is now
preparing, so her late husband alleges. to
take iIerdaugnter from MISS Howard's care.
and this Mr.. Aver doesn't want done, as he
says his former wife is not fit person to be
intrusted with the care Of the girl.
The court ordered the injunction to issue
as asked for. and 1t was sent on to New
York, but IL is not expected that Mrs. Aver
will pay any attention to 1t. She could not
be punished for contempt Of court unless she
came to Chicago, and II Is not probable she
will ever come to this part Of the country
again. Practically, therefore, the iDiunc-
tion is of no effect.
Mrs. Aver obtained divorce two years
ago from her husband on the ground Of
abandonment. Aver defaulted In his suit
and the decree gave Mrs. Aver the custody
Of the two children. but allowed for a modi-
fcation in the future of the order awarding
the custody Of the daughters to the mother.
Aver was at one time wealthy manufac-
turer, but lost his money. Afterward he
was connected with the contractors firm Of
Brown, Howard IL Co.

The British Columbian Board of
Trade Favors Reciprocity.

VICTORIA, b. G., July 1O.-The report sub
mitted by the President and unanimously
adopted at the annual meeting of the British
Columbia Board Of Trade is pronouncedly
in favor of reciprocity with the United States.
Referring to the fishery industry Of the
Province it is stated that in the absence Of
any useful effort on the part of the Federal
Government, private enterprise has demon
strated that the black cod and halibut banks
are practically unlimited. The board OK
presses the earnest hope that the Dominion
Government will endeavor to bring about
an interchange of fishery products with the
United States as there is no other market.
Reference is made to the vast iron deposits
in the province, which would be utilized to
the advantage, of both countries were reeip-
rocity adopted. Had the 40 per cent. in
creased duty on lead been passed last ses-
sion against the States, it would have pro-
duced bad results to the salmon industry.
AS to lumber, reciprocity would be OF incal-
cuable benefit

BOGUS BOMBS FOR THE COMMISSION.
Michael Davitt Accuses lie Caron of
Completely in the Plot.
Justice Hannen Says II was Only a
Very Silly Hoax.
British Columbia Merchants Eager
for the United States Market.

LONDON, July 10.-Michael Dayitt ap-
peared before the Parnell commission again
today. He complained that somebody who
desired to injure the I1ish cause had placed
two bogus dynamite >nachines within the
precincts OF the court Out Of this alleged
attempted outrage the Evening Post, London
made a sensational article which said this
incident indicated the danger the court in
cured and how easily the desperate enemies
of England who recently testified before the
commission could blow up the building.
Mr.. Davitt in an excited manner asserted
his belief that the affair was planned by lie
Caron and Houston. Presiding Justice
Hannen said he understood why Mr.. DaYitt
should have strong feeling in the matter,
but must make inquiries to prove the allega-
tion. The justice said that he himself re-
garded the matter as silly hoax.
