The Coming Crops.

A. L. Mohler, assistant general man
ager of the Manitoba Railroad, has just
completed thorough personal exami-
nation of the wheat crop along the
lines of the Manitoba, and has pre-
pared concise summary of the
results of his investigations.
During the week he examined all the
country on the Northern and Dakota
divisions, conversed with many farmers
and elevator experts, and as the result
predicts that the country tributary to
the Manitoba lines will furnish for ship
ment at least 100000 bushels OF
wheat. This estimate, he says. is con-
firmed by Chicago experts who have
recently been covering the same terri
tory independent of himself.

The Goodlander Mill Company, of
Fort Scott, Kas., has commenced suit in
the circuit court at Chicago against the
Standard OIL Company in a plea of
trespass On the case for 100000. In
November, 1887, the Standard Oil Com
pany shipped a tank car containing 5000
gallons or kerosene to Fort Scott,
where 1T was placed upon side
track behind the extensive mills and
elevators of the Goodlander Company.
Workmen desiring to empty the car OF
its contents unscrewed the cap of the
outlet pipe, which should have been
closed on the inside by valve. This
was out Of order. and when the cap was
removed the 5000 gallons of oil burst
out, flooding the first story Of the mill.
When the stream of oil reached the
furnaces in the boi.er-room it was ig-
nited, and in an instant the mill and
elevators, valued at 100000. were in
flames and were totally DESTROYED,

CORRUP POLITICS.

Rev. DR.. Talmage. in a sermon deliv-
cred at his tabernacle on the 10th, in
Brooklyn, upon wrong uses of money!
says under head Corrupt Politics.:
I'VE recently passed through ma
tional election in which it has been
estimated that thirty million dollars
were expended. I think aoout twenty
million of it were spent in out and ont
bribery. Both parties raised all they
could for this purpose. But that was
only on large scale what has been done
on smaller scale for fifty years and in
all departments.
Politics from being the science of
good government has often been
bedraggled into the synonym for trucu-
lency and turpitude. A monster sin,
plausible. potent, pestiferous, has gone
forth to do its dredful work IN all ages.
Its two hands are rotten with leprosy.
It keeps it's right hand hidden in a deep
pocket. The left hand is clenched, and
with it's ichorous knuckle it taps at the
door of the court room, the legislative
hall, the congress and the parliament.
The door swings open and the monster
enters, and gildes through the aisle of
the council chamber as softly as a slip
pered page, end then it takes it's right
hand from it's deep pocket and offers it
in salutation to judge or legislator. If
that hand be taken, and the palm of the
intruder cross the palm of the official,
the leprOsy crosses from palm to palm
in round blotch, round as gold eagle,
and the virus spreads, and the doom is
fixed, and the victim perishes. Let
bribery, accursed of God and man,
stand up for trial.

KILLED BY INDIANS.
A Ranchman Shot, ScaIded, Roasted
and Pounded to Pieces.

News of an Indian outrage has just
been reported at Deming, N. NJ, from
the headquarters of the rancho OF
Head and Heart, situated in Animas
Valley, Cochise county, Arizona, six
miles from the Mexican line. Is. +.
Cady, who was alone in charge Of the
rancho, was surprised by Indians and
shot through both legs above thickness
The fiends then stripped Cady OF his
clothing, scalded him with boiling
water, held him on top of stove un-
til he was roasted, and finally pounded
his head into jelly and otherwise
horribly mutilated him. The body was
thrown into yard where IL was found
by Mexican custom house guards.
From the number Of moccasin tracks
the guards estimated the party to
number between thirty and forty.
After killing Cady the Indians sepa-
rated, about half of them remaining In
the mountains near by, the remainder
taking all the horse stock on the
rancho with them and passing up
through Guadalupe canon. Sheriff
Whitehall, of Grant county, just in
from that district, says Indian signal
fires can be seen burning all through
the Chiracuas mountains and the peo-
pie are much excited, fearing ageneral
outbreak. A party of COW boys have
started ON the trail and conflict is
expected.

IL was close call and that had IL been

been fatal, as the attempt was no doubt
intended to be. Mr.. Henry had been
threatened by the whisky element for
the stand he took in the prosecution Of
some liquor sellers and bootleggers
whose places were searched and seiz-
ures made about six weeks ago, and
this attempt on his life is carrying out
part OF the threats Of the lower element
OF the town. Strong talk Of lynching
the perpetrators of the crime was in
dulged in Immediately following the
assault, and had 1t been known to a

timo their lives would most likely
have paid the penalty, as no less than
