ST.. PAUL, June 2O.-The rain last
night and this morning covered about
one half of the northwest territory
and reports from along the different
lines of railroads show that il was local
in its character. a better feeling now
prevails among the wheat raisers and
grain men and the outlook points to a
good crop. Conservative estimates
place the wheat crops for Minnesota
and Dakota from 0.000. 900 to 1OO.-
OO0, 000 bushels. The grain men say
now that all the danger is over and
although some parts of the wheat
growing country might dry out if no
more rain fell, the crisis has been.
passed and should everything prove
favorable crop of at least 1O0, OO0,-
900 bushels can be safely expected
while, should unfayorable weather set
in from now on. the prospect is good
for and increase over last year Of n

How and why the Prohibition
Amendment ia PenRsylvanfa was
Defeated.
HARRISBURG, Pa, June 21.-A prom
inent politician speaking of the result of
the election, says: Lack of knowledge
of practical politics, wild desire to
crush out an industry worth hundreds
of millions without giving cOmpensa-
ton therefor, and an alert and willy en-
envy were the three elements that de-
feated the prohibitionists in this
state by at least 175. 900;
and their hopes of even Sc
gone glimmeTing of this big majority.
Philadelphia contributed 81 900, Allie
gheny $4,000, Berks 5000. Lancas-
ter 900 and Schuylkill 1900. These
five counties fairly represent Pennsyl-
vania, the first for its varied indus
tries, the second for its manufactures
and iron business, the third and fourth
for their agricultural industries and
the fifth for its coal. so that it can
truthfully be said that prohibition was
not killed by any class or party, for all
party lines were obliterated, and in
Harrisburg men worked side by side
for or against the amendment, " holm a
political campaign between the old par
ties are bitter enemies and knife each
other without 20 npunc ion. The min
lister and the ward heller, the merchant
and the producer more than once found
| themselves peddling the same ticket.
The prohlbitlonistS, however, were not
practical in their work at the polls and
| prepared TO catch the voter coming
| rather than go to his home and urge
/ him to come. The liquor mel were in
tensely practical, They had the poIiti-
| cal workers hired to block the wards
and get out the vote and the result has
exceeded their widest dreams. Harris
burg gives ,354 against the amendment
and the county of Dauphin, a fairly
representative Pennsylvania county, so
far as varied population and industries
are concerned, gives 3 800 against pro-
hibition- Returns from the surround
ling,counties of Cumbt rland .Berks. York
and Lebanon. give large Rnti-prohibi-
tion majoritieS. The result throughout is
a Waterloo for the water people and
means that thequestiou of constitution
al liquor amendment will be rele0ated
to the background for all time to come.
The liquor men are not jubiIant: on
thd contrary they look upon the de-
feated people with pity. The prohib-
itionlstS, however, are already show
ing their teeth, and some of the minis
tiers at the polls intimated that If
pennsylvania went 'swetn there Wonld
be day of reckoning for the old par
ties, and particularly the republican
party, which they say led them into
the campaign and then did not help
them. As the republican party never
promised to aid or help them, but sim
ply pledged itself to submit the amend
ment to the people, the threats are
generally met with smile.''

out of the constitution. 1t will take a
three fifths vote to do it, and the result
is not at all certain. The day is bright
and cool and a huge vote is being
polled. In this city at IL O'Clock this

cate that the amendment will be
adopted by good majority over the
necessary tbTee-lifths.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.
NIysterIous NIurders.

HELENA, Mont. June 21.-News was
received here last night of series of
most brutal crimes committed in Fer
gus county, in what is known as "Ju-
dith county" about one hundred miles
north of Helena. The news was
brought by the driver of stage rum
ming from Fort Benton to Livingstone.
He says that on Saturday last the
body of middle-aged woman, who had
been shot in the back. was found by
cowboy in a wild and unfrequented
spot on Judith river. The corOner's
inquest developed no information as to
who she was. On Tuesday the bodies
of two men, siXteen-year-old
girl and a six-year-old girl
were discovered about one hundred
yards above the same place. All were
shot in the back except the child, who
was strangled. Near by were found
the remains of burned trunks and
camp equipage. Everything by which
the bodies might be identified was des-
troyed. Nobody in judith county,
can recognize the bodies. They are
supposed to be family of emigTants
from Iowa, or Illinois. The whole
of Judith county is aroused and hun
dred horsemen are securing the plains,
seeking the trail of the murderers.
The place where the deed was COM
mitted is one hundred miles from a
rail road, which it is supposed the
murderer is trying to reach.
