CnndIfinn of Wheat

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Farmers Review
prints the following: The report from cor
respondents in the thirteen states covered by
our crop bulletin indicate that the general
condition of winter wheat in this territory is
20 per cent. lower. and of spring wheat 1C
per cent. lower, than the usual average of
condition at this season. Relative to winter
wheat, Wisconsin and Kansas reports show
some improvement in condition since April
SO. In Kansas this is due to the prevailing
drouth having been broken by local showers
in many parts of the state. In Wisconsin,
on the other hand, the previous excess of
moisture has dried out to some extent, and
conditions have become more favorable to its
growth. In Michigan and Ohio the condi-
ton of wheat has not changed since our last
report. A few correspondents in Missouri
report improvement in the condition of
wheat, but the general average for the state
indicates marked decline during the past
ten days.
Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky reports also
show decline, caused principally by cold
weather and an excess of moisture. Reports
from the leading spring wheat states contain
many complaints of drouth, which has greatly
retarded the termination and growth of grain
sown this spring. According to signal ser
vice reports, northern Minnesota and North
Dakota have not received one-half their usual
rainfall, and central Iowa, northwestern Mis-
souri, and northwestern Nebraska have re-
ceived only about 70 per cent. of their nor
NAL rainfall. For this reason the condition
is considerably below the average. We sum-
marie as follows: Reports of correspond
ents relative to the condition of wheat:
Winter wheat-Illinois Il per cent, Indiana
g., Ohio IS, Kentucky IS, Missouri 7911,
Kansas SO, Michigan a, and Wisconsin 79.
Spring wheat-Illinois 81 per cent, Wiscon-
sin 81, Iowa 81, Nebraska so, Minnesota 50,
South Dakota So. and North Dakota 81.

To Onset the DecIsInn.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1.-THE bill re-
ported by the senate Judiciary committee to
meet the emergency arising from the original
package decision by the supreme court,
reads:
Be it enacted, etc, That no state shall be
! held to be limited or restrained in its power
| to prohibit, regulate or control or tax the
sale, keeping for sale, or the transportation
as an article of commerce, or otherwise, to
| be delivered within its own limits, of any
fermented, distilled or other Intoxicating
liquids or liquors, by reason of the fact that
the same have been imported into such state
from beyond its limits, whether there shall or
| shall not have been paid thereon any tax,
duty, import or excise to the United States.
In connection with the bill, Mr.. Wilson, of
| Iowa, who reported it from the Judiciary
committee, said that he would ask the senate
! to take it up for consideration at an early
day.
Mr.. Hoar, a member of the judiciary COM
mittee, explained that the bill had been rem
dered necessary by the late decision of the
supreme court of the United States holding
that Intoxicating liquors manufactured III
one state and conveyed into another and re-
sold by the manufacturer or his agent, can
not be interfered with by the states The
court had intimated that the states could not
pass such prohibitory or regulating statutes
without the permission of congress. He
fully concurred in the purport of the bill,
but he supposed that the principle of the
courts opinion extended to other things than
distilled spirits Ito opium for instance), and
he should have preferred that the bill should
have applied to all articles which the state
might prohibit the sale of. However, not to
delay action in the matter, he had assented
to the report of the bill.
Mr.. Edmunds, also a member of the judi
ciary committee, expressed the same idea.
He was of the opinion that, philoscphically,
the bill ought to be n comprehensive one,
and to cover all the things that the states
should have right to forbid, as relating to
health and safety: but for the reasons stated
by Mr.. Hoar, he had assented to the report
of the bill limited to intoxicating liquors.

GUTHRIE, 1. T., May 16.-The few evil
doors who have tried to take advantage of the
entire region between the old pnorganized
condition of the country, when United States
newly appointed officers. have found their
plans for uninterrupted crime futile. The city
officials have not hesitated to put the GRIM
inals in Jail without any legal form. and there
are now five men languishing in the city Jail
here awaiting the judges and marshals.
Those who are best informed on the matter
feel certain that the negotiations between the
Cherokee commission and the Iowa Indians,
which began this week, will be successful,
and that the reservation will be thrown open
to settlement by congress before its adjourn
ment. The city is already beginning to fill
with settlers who are hoping for claims in
the Iowa reservation, and have come here to
be sure of being in at the opening.

Peoria Wins Again.
Peoria ml.) Saturday Call, May 8.


Money is pouring into Peoria from almost
every quarter in the universe, and among
the many contributors to the general fund is
The Louisiana State Lottery Company that
of late has poured into the pockets of many
of our humber and poorer citizens thous-
ands of dollars. In a little one-story cottage
at 31S Apple street lives a young, Irish-Amer-
lean, Richard Fitzpatrick, who last month
held one-twentieth of ticket No. q, 1914 that
drew the second capital prize of 100000. A
representative of The Call interviewed him
on Tuesday with the following result:
II returned from Mexico about four
months ago, and at each drawing of The
Louisiana State Lottery since that time have
purchased a one-twentieth ticket. In April
l held one-twentieth of ticket number 81
994 which drew the second capital prize of
S1O0,0O9, and received my share of the
money, 5000, through the American Ex-
press Company. l have only invested four
dollars in tickets and the returns received
have, of course, been very satisfactory.
1t is my intention to continue to buy tick
cts every month since have struck streak
of luck"

Guild hall, and some of the papers are can
did enough to admit that he was abundantly
lustlned IN the severity of his remarks. While
England has absolutely nothing to show for
the millions OF money and oceans of blood
devoted TO Africa, the Germans are making
themselves masters of the most fruitful por-
tons OF the land at an outlay positively in
significant as compared with what England
has sunk, and it is not surprising that man
who has made the sacrifices and endured the
hardships that Stanley has in England's in
terests should become exasperated at the
opposition and apathy displayed by those
who should support him. 1t is not unlikely
that the vigorous remarks OF the explorer
Will stir the government into action, which
to be of any advantage to England must be
soon taken.

La Crosse Chieftain: B. F. Cough

Wichita Eagle: Howard Rogers,
living near this city, eight months ago
put S2,700 into sheep. He fed them a
little less than $1,000 worth of grain
and hay and salt. After clipping from
their backs $1,000 worth of wool, he
sold the entire herd for $4,000. Here
is profit of 50, 400 on a total invest
ment of $1,000 for sheep and $1,000
worth of feed inside of eight months.
Independence Reporter: Some dan
ger is threatened to the strawberry
crop, but we hope it will not prove
wide spread or as serious as anticipated.
A gentleman who has about five acres
discovered to his surprise that one
patch of about an acre had suddenly
become infested with a sort of web
worm. They covered almost the entire
patch, and the foliage of the plants was
fast becoming black and rolling up
under their ravages. None of his other
patches have yet been visited by the
pest, and he hopes they may escape.

SupremeIv Delightful

To the emaciated and debilitated invalid is
the sense of returning health and strength
produced by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
When that promoter of vigor is tested by
persons in feeble health, its restorative and
vitalizing potency soon evinceS itself in i'm
proved appetite, digestion, and nightly re-
pose the sole conditions under which strength
and nerve quietude is vOuchsafed to the
human system. A gain of flesh of course
ensues upon the restoration of digestion and
fall of the leaf, does disease shadow the foot
steps of declining strength, when the prema-
ture decay of vitality is not arrested. Ma
rasmus, consumption, and other wasting
maladies are prompt to fasten upon the en-
feebled. Avert disease, therefore, with this
grand, enabling tonic, which not only re-
news failing strength. but mitigates and
counteracts the infirmities of age and those
of the gentler sex. Rheumatism, malaria,
liver and kidney troubles yield to it.

The Pope Must Have Temporal Power

LONDON, May 1.-THE threatened promul-
CATION by the pope of the dogma that the
temporal power of the pontiff, of which the
church was deprived by the advent of Victor
Emanuel into Rome in 1870. is essential to
the complete majesty of the vice regent of
Christ on earth, is the theme of general dis
cussion in Catholic circles on the continent
The decision of sixty-six of the hundred
bishops, whose views of the matter was So
licited by the pope. that the present time is
opportune for the declaration of this princi-
pie, evinces a positive swerving of popular
opinion for it. 1t as not to be presumed that
the prelates have all, or even a considerable
minority of them, gone contrary to the
known tendencies of their fiocks.

Kansas State Temperance union,

TOPEKA, KAN, May 1.-THE annual meet.
ing of the Kansas State Temperance union
held in Representative hall, was one of the
most important ever held by that organiza-
ton. Delegates were present from every
section of the state.
The recent decision by the supreme court
has awakened the prohibitionists, and is to a
considerable extent responsible for the I'M
usually large attendance. The convention
demanded of congress in very emphatic
manner that law be at once enacted giving
to the states the power to regulate the sale
of liquor.
The meeting was presided over by the pres
ident, James 4. Troutman, of Topeka, who
delivered long opening address, full of
facts and figures.
President Troutman was followed by c. T.
Creighton, chancellor of the Wesleyan uni
versity of Lincoln, Nebraska.

One Hundred and second Annual Meeting.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, May 17.-There
was notable gathering of representatives of
the Presbyterian faith in the First Presbyte-
rian church, when the 1O2nd general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church in the United
States was called to order. About 800 per-
sons were present. The Rev. DR.. Herrick
johnson, of Chicago, offered prayer. The
session was one of praise and worship, the
business session beginning at 3 O'Clock. The
sermon was preached by the retiring mOder-
ator, Rev. Charles William Roberts, L. L. d.
The present gathering is one OF the most i'm
portant in the history of the denomination,
from the fact that the question of revision of
the confession of faith is to be acted upon.
The matter will first come up in the form of
a report from the committee appointed two
years ago to report on constitutional meth
DDS of revision.

Freight Charges on Small Packages.

TOPEKA, KAN, May 1.-THE Kansas rail-
road commissioners have decided that the
rule for some time in force, by which all
packages of freight Weighing less than 100
pounds have been charged as weighing 100
pounds, is untenable. An order has been
made, and which is now in effect. so chang
ing this rule as that such packages must be
charged for on the basis OF their actual
weight; with provision that the minimum
charge on a package may be made % cents
within the state. The interstate commission
has made similar ruling regarding freights
which pass state lines, with minimum of
20 cents
