The following clipping from the

wheat's safe arrival:
The car arrived this morning. The
wheat is of splendid quality and will
be put OH the market Tor sale. There
is plentiful supply of flour at Johns
town, and it would not be advisable to
grind the wheat and send it there. The
money realized from the sale will be
put into the general relief fund.
Abilene has proved herself city Of
generous impulses and it is hoped by
her citizens that the gift she has do
mated may aid in relieving some suffer
ing ones who would otherwise have
been neglected.

Wheat Crop Outlook.


MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April g.
Nothing but the most favorable reports
are being received from the spring
wheat fields of the northwest. The
slight change that has occurred in the
situation during the last seven DAYS
has been the disappearance of most of
the complaint of dry weather from GER
tain portions of central and eastern
Dakota. Destructive fires and storms
have occurred in some portions of Da-
kota least able to bear it. That part
of Dakota afflicted has been for long
time without moisture. A very large
area, reaching say one hundred miles
each way, has been heard of, where 1t
is claimed the seeded fields will need
replanting. 1t runs up and down both
| along the Red river through the vicin-
ity of Fargo. There were more or less
winds through Minnesota, too, but not
so much harm has resulted and work
has progressed we'll and quite large
per cent of wheat seeding is done.
There is a great demand for seed in
some of the northern counties. Some
| of the demand is supplied by the ele-
Vator companies, but as too many of
the calls are on time notes. with little
security, the companies find the supply
of such wants too severe strain to be
fully met It is probable that on that
account there may he smaller in
crease in the wheat area than had been
counted on. Seeding in the south
ern portions of Minnesota and Da-
kota will be practically over at the
end Of the week, though in some
places farmers will not have finished
until next week. In eastern Dakota
from Aberdeen south to Flandreau
| and west to the James river, farmers
| have held back from seeding to pre-
vent repetition of the destruction of
growing wheat by hot winds, but some
of them have begun. In the northern
portion as far north as Fargo, on the
bonanza farms, seeding is in active
progress and by the end of another
week will be almost completed. From
every direction come reports of an in
creased acreage and in some localities
correspondents assert that every avail
| able foot will be seeded.

IT is believed at Washington that
Postmaster Wanamaker, who is now
regarded as a failure, or as it is put, "a
misfit,' - will be succeeded by Clarkson
inside of year. It is now seen that
business sense and political sense are
not AKIN to each other, and that the
first cannot supply the place OF the
second. Politics and merchandising
are entirely different trades that re-
quire different order OF ability. 1t by
no means follows that because man
succeeds at one that he will in the other.
1t is just as reasonable to suppose
that one who has acquired fame in pol
itics would, if he should desire a
change, succeed in business, as that a
purely business man like Wanamaker
should make a success in politics. The
methods needful to success
in both are widely different. The
exact and inflexible character of those
in vogue in the counting room or bust
ness Office do not at all comport with
the yielding give-and-take methods Of
the politician. With him tact, saga
| city, shrewdness, cunning and good
humor take the place of the rigid rules
of the merchant. No posted and leg
cred courtesies are tolerated. Perfect
freedom and elasticity must character
ize his conduct and association with
others, especially in the delicate task
of distributing patronage, one of the
most trying duties that falls to the
high official. The man of business
can say NO with firmness when it is
necessary. The politician must so
pad and cushion his ''no" with smiles
and cajolery that no offense may be
| given. To do that successfully re-
quires rare tact and long practice.
Again, certain amount of caution
is necessary. What to say and when
are as important as anything else.
One can spoil very pretty kettle of
| fish by an injudicious or il-timed ex-
preston. Herein is visible another of
Mr.. Wannamaker's weak points. He
| talks too much and lndiscreetly. He
may be good talker and probably is,
as his Sunday school sermons testify,
but political talk is another and quite
different thing. AS somebody has
said, IF man thinks beer he will
talk beer" If a man thinks arbitra-
riIy he is apt to talk freely and with
out regard to consequences.
Arbitrary methods and indiscreet
talking are the weights that will drag
down Wannamaker.

FORT DODGE, Iowa. April 6.-Sheriff
effected the arrest of seventeen river
land settlers charged with conspiracy.
The prisoners peaceably accompanied
the county officers, whom they regarded
as friends. They were arraigned in a
Justices court in the afternoon and
waving examination were each placed
under $500 ponds for appearance at the
May term of court. Bail was readily Sc
cured. The settlers announce their in
tention to secure a poStponement of the
trial and to continue this policy until
congress takes definite action. They
hope to obtain certain relief from the
next session of congress, and thus
evade fine and Imprisonment. The
United States marshals, who have been
forced to suspend operations because
of continual harrassment will not re-
sumo evictions until they can do SO
with largely increased forces. The
land owners announce that evictions
will be made if it takes the
state militia and as the settlers state
their determination to die rather than
be driven from their homes some
stormy times are anticipated. Mar
shall Holbrook, who had charge of the
evictions last fall. is organizing a
posse TO resume eVlctlOnS on the Smell
lands next week, simultaneously with
the Litchfield evictors. A fuller in
vestigation of the reported shooting
of deputies fails to confirm the reports
telegraphed from Webster City and
Des Moines yesterday. Later state
ments are to the effect that when the
officers had neared Hills Hollow they
encountered party of boys out shoot
ing squirrels and the marshal. think
ing it was the enraged settlers, took to
their heels and fled to Webster.

AS all the world knows the town of
Oskaloosa elected female city coun-
Gil year ago. The ladies went imme-
diately to work cleaning up and beau
tifying the town. The old rotten side
walks were torn up and new ones built.
In the center of the city resided an old
hunk who had never built a sidewalk
around his large block and who had
taken a ponderous oath that he never
would: The men councils had always
been afraid of him, but the ladies did
not propose to be bulldozed. They or
dered him to put a sidewalk around his
entire block, and upon his refusal they
hired squad Of brave carpenters and
superintendent the job themselves in a
body. Then the venerable fossil hired
some lawyers and began to devise ways
and means to escape payment. He
sold strip eight inches wide along two
sides of his property to his son, abut-
ting on the new sidewalk. and an
other strip ten inches wide around the
other two sides to his wife and thinks
that when the ladies have sold out the
''abutting property TO pay for the
sidewalk they viii be badly left.
