LONDON, July 13.-Every mail from Aus
tralia now brings letters bearing besides
the regular Australian postage stamp an
other Of two or three times the size, with
the queens familiar features engraved
thereon. This second stamp doesn't help to
bring the letter over the seas at ALL nor does
1t serve any other useful purpose than to

He Makes an Outrageous Statement from
the Pulpit Which Brings the People
About His Ears-A Mass-Meeting Held
and His Discharge Demanded-Ths
Victims of His Reckless Tongue De-
termined to Have Satisfaction.
Dies MONIES, Ia, July ID. -Leclaire is a
river town, twelve miles north Of Daven-
port, noted for the number of steamboat and
raftmen who live there. 1t is agitated by a
sweeping charge made by Rev. Monroe
Drew, Presbyterian minister, from the
pulpit last Sunday night, to the effect that a
virtuous woman between the ages of 10 and
% years could not be found in the place. The
pastor is quite young man. He came from
Chicago four months ago and has been
preaching to growing congregations He
was sensational in his way of putting gospel
out of curiosity.
He Raises a Storm.
Last Sunday night he was particularly Sc
we're, saying that immortality had captured
the town. He stated in all seriousness that
he had been told a woman of honor did not
live in Leclaire. At the end of his service the
young preacher was surrounded by his hear
ers, who made violent protests against such
language The next day he was waited OH
by thirty young women and public retrac-
ton demanded. Mr.. Drew offered to take
back his words privately and to apologize to
his callers, hut they would have none of it
Called a Town Meeting.
The next step was the calling of a mass
meeting, which was held Thursday night in
the largest hall in the town. More than 400
indignant men and women attended. They
invited the minister to be present, but it is
said he left the state and went over into Hi
nois, fearing personal injury. The meeting
organized by calling justice of the peace,
X A Edwards, one of the oldest citizens, to
the chair. Resolutions were adopted express
ing Indignation at the statement made from
the pulpit, and asserting confidence il the
character Of the Young women of the place.
Tar and Feathers Talked on.
The meeting demanded of the trustees Of
the church the immediate discharge of Rev.
Mr. Drew. All Presbyterian churches were
warned not to have anything to do with
Parson Drew. Mutterings about tar and
feathers are often heard, and some of the
young women declare that they will not let
the matter drop until public retraction Is
made, coupled with an abject apology aud
promise not to enter the pulpit again.

CROOKEDNESS IN THE GRAIN TRADE.

SraSe
BUFFALO, n. Y, July 13-The grain csyn-
mission firm of Sherman Bros q Co, lin
tied, of which S. F. Sherman is vice presi-
dent and ". H Sherman secretary, is in
trouble. Rumors prevalent on change for
several days concerning the firms stability
assumed definite form yesterday morning.
Queer stories have been a1oat for some
time past regarding the associated elevators
and Sherman Bros. & Co. Complaints are
said to have come from buyer and seller, of
shortages in grain taken from all these
elevators, and not only this, but the serious
charge of mix ed grain has also been made
against them. One large firm charges that
their wheat stored in the elevators has been
deprecated t. IS cents per bushel.

Another CT SO Is cited where an inspector
discovered that quantity of old No hard
had been bad y mixed. An investigation is
said to have revealed a small spout connected
with bin and running into the delivery
spout, through which the rejected wheat was
mixed with the choice hard The rumors
further allege that the checks of the firm
have not been honored at the American Ex-
change bank, and that certain warehouse re-
ceipts are out for which there is no grain in
store. 1t was learned from a Trustworthy
source that criminal warrant has been is
sued against William II. Sherman, who was
supposed to lie sick and at Van Buren, Point
with his family. A rumor, however, pre-
walls that he has gone to Canada.
Somebody Stuck for $500, 900.
The report Of warrant for the arrest of
Mr.. Sherman was denied at police headquar-
tiers last night Mr.. E. c. Hawkes., who owns
q large interes in the international elevator
said the matter was under investigation, and
the charge Of grain receipts with no grain in
store was probably true, the shortage being
possibly as much as 500, 900. Mr. Hawkes.
said in conclusions mo one will lose any
thing except the elevator proprietors. Mr.
Sherman has money invested in the elevator,
and so has his father. 1t would seem strange
indeed if he hGs jeopardized his business and
other prospects by doing anything that will

A Railway CommissIon LAWYERS Rates.

Dies MONIES, Ia, July 13.-The Iowa rail-
road commissioners yesterday morning rem
dered decision, which, it is believed, will
result in lowering Interstate rates between
both Chicago and St Louis and all Iowa
points. The case was that of the Diamond
Joe steamboat line against the Chicago Bur-
lington and Quincy Railroad company. The
steamboat company complained because the
railroad company refused to receive freight
from their boats unless the charges were
prepaid to the destination. The railroad
company announced that they refused be-
cause the river rates plus the Iowa local
rates were lower than the interstate rates.
The commissioners held this to be an un-
lawful discrimination, and ordered the rail
road company to treat all carriers alike.

ST. PAUL, July l2.-Nearly every portion
of the northwestern wheat belt has been Wis
tied with rain during the last ten days, the
form of precipitation varying from light
showers TO heavy downpours. The result is
an improvement in the appearance and pros
poets of the wheat crop all along the line, ex-
cept where it was SO thoroughly burned out
by drought or SO far advanced in growth as
to be incapable of resuscitation. The rains
have been mainly local in character but the
local areas were large. Some small sections
have been missed, others are I'm need of still
more moisture than they received, but, as
stated, the net benefit to the crop has been
very great
Hot Weather Did Little Harm.
The hot weather of last week was confined
mainly TO southern Minnesota and southern
Dakota, and even there did little if any
harm, for it did not last long, and was fol-
lowed by the refreshing rains and cool
weather. In the northern section meanti me
the temperature was comparatively low and
favorable II the growing grain. There were
heavy dews at night also, and these were
highly beneficial In southern Minnesota
and Dakota the wheat is fast approaching
maturity, while the harvest of other small
grains has been begun in scattered localities,
and soon VIII be general
Condition OF Northern Wheat
The northern wheat is now quite generally
headed out, but Is very uneven, the early
sown being well advanced, while the second
sowing on tracts that were blown out by the
wind is at least month behind the first
sown and the late sown wheat in general
was kept back very much by the dry
weather. This may be regarded as an unfa-
vCrable condition, for in some localities it APP
plies to fields well as TO areas. The stalks
are short, but heading out in most
promising way, and crop sages are fond of
remarking that in all previous years when
the stem was short the yield was unexpect-
edly heavy. As to the quality of the sea-
sons wheat there is no question that, if ia
vorable conditions continue until harvest
time il will be very far superior to last
years grain.
situation in Minnesota.
The Minnesota wheat area is streaked and
spotted like all other sections where wheat is
grown; but the prospects now are that Min
nesota will turn out a very fair crop. From
several counties the report comes that the
general crop yield will be larger than in any
year since 1881 The southwestern section
has suffered good deal, but in that part of
the state an Improvement is noted since the
rain. Corn in northern Minnesota has adj
vanced rapidly, and the flax will be a heavy
crop, Oats are likely to be little short,
though in some sections they promise a
heavy yield.

The Kind to Put I'm.

The advice of eastern receivers and con-
sumers of hay to the hay men of the west to
put up all they can is condemned, it being the
obvious purpose to make hay cheap for the
consumer by large crop. If farmers and
shippers will consult their best interests,
instead of putting up great gorge of hay,
like the crop of last year, they will put up a
few tons of first-class hay. There is more
profit in ten tons of fancy hay than in thirty
tons of poor grades.
