lion among native women against the
severe Hindu marriage ceremony. A
case in point has just excited much in
terest in Bombay. A young widow
applied to magistrate for protection.
She stated she was left widow at
nine years of age. She had been
cruelty treated by her relatives, and
had determined to remarry, but all
her caste people threatened her with
persecution. The magistrate referred
her to Madhowdas Rugnatndas, the
famous Hindu social reformer, who not
only provided her with shelter but ar
ranged for her remarriage in his own
house. This is the twenty-eighth
widow whom he has enabled to re-
marry. A large number of Hindus

remarkable spots on the continent. After

home to the west OF the Father OF Waters,
and under the sheltering brow of q ma
jestic bluff near the mouth Of the Iowa

Indian village stood is now the village Of q
later race, and appropria tely named Black
Hawk. In the early days of Mississippi

upon as a town OF promise; but now it is
naught but a tumble down bailiwick that
will interest none but lovers of the quaint

merged into modern Toolesboro. a small
village situated upon the plateau extending
inland from the bluff. Black Hawk itself
has long since been forgotten by the makers

The Kansas Wheat Crop Exceeding Pre-

TOPEKA Kan, Oct. 10-Secretary
Mohler, OF the State Agricultural De-
partment has issued the following crop
report:
The correspondents Of the board in their final
estimate just received AT this ONCE Of the aver
age product of winter wheat per acre, raise
that product over the estimate OF q month ago
one and half bushels. AS wheat threshing
progressed throughout the State it was
found that the actual yield per acre
in most cases was higher than the
estimate previously placed upon it. One
months ago the average product per acre for
the State was estimated at q bushels It is.
now p aced at !s.5S bushels per acre THIS is.
believed to be a conservative estimate, and
raises the total aggregate product Of winter
wheat OF the State 10 35,DO1.t4S bushels On the
other hand the average yield per acre OF spring
wheat for the State is reduced from 6 To 1915
bushels, giving an aggregate product OF spring
wheat for the Sta te Of 1,lS9.SO3 bushels and
grand total product for the State Of S6,$19,So1
bushels.
1t is yet too earlya date for the final estimate
OF the corn product Of the State, as that prod
uct can be determined accurately only after a
considerable portion of the crop has been har-
vested. II is believed. however, that the eSti-
mate Of month ago will be fully sustained
This estimate on an area of 6,S2O,G93 acres gives
total corn product for the State of %76 Sal ,S3S
bushels.
With the exception OF hog cholera reported
in a mild form in twelve counties Of the State,
stock of all kinds is free from disease and is
reported in good condition.
During the month Of September the condition
Of ground for wheat sowing was reported good
generally in the eastern portion of the State,
while in the central and western counties il has
been dry-in many cases too dry to pillow, and
in consequence wheat sowing has been greatly
retarded, while in those counties which had
sufficient moisture wheat sowing was well ad-
vanced October /. In nearly all the counties OF
the State our correspondents say an increased
acreage ofwheat will be sown this fall over that
OF last year. In number OF counties, however,
where September drought prevailed the acre
age sown will depend on the rainfall during the
month OF October.

LONDON. Oct. 10.-A well known Lon
members of the iron and steel institute
entertained in Paris last week by NJ.
Eiffel and the president of the French So
ciety of engineers, states that NJ Eiffel
expressed his unbounded confidence thai
the plan of the Paris tower, with some
slight mod tfications which the French
had suggested TO him, could be safely
adopted for a tower twice its height for
the American Worlds Fair in 1892, and
that with this plan a tower Of any alti-
tude desired would present no engi-
neering difficulties whatever, but was
simply a question of outlay. If
the American exposition commit
tee were ambitious to possess a tower,
1900 or 1000 feet high, they had simply to
provide the funds and the structure would
spring from the ground in nine months
after the order was given. or course
great care would have to be exercised in
the selection of a suitable site. as upon
this would very largely depend the sta
bility of the structure. When questioned
as to whether be would have any profess
sional connection with the construction
of the proposed American tower, N. Eiffel
said it was too early yet to reach any
definite understanding, but he was all
ready In communication on the subjec
with the New York parties.
