Ex-Gov. p. II. Jerome returned last
week from Oklahoma, where he has
been negotiating with the Indians as Il
member OF the Cherokee commission.
Treaties were concluded with the lowas,
which secured, 22O, 900 acres for settle
Inent, with the Sac and Fox nations,
opening 100, 600 acres, and With the
POttawattOmIes securing S25 900 acres.
The successful treaty reported with the
Chsyennes and ATaphOes few days
ago was incorrect, only a minority or
tie Indians having agreed 10 IL. The
commission Will return West IN Septem-
Der.
Initatiory proceedings for the con-
demuation of the land selected for a
public building site at Lansing, Will be
commenced IN the United States Court
before Judge Brown, on Monday. The
land is owned by an Ohio lady, who has
been cIted TO appear. The question OF
just value of such property IS deter
mined by a jury or a commission Sc
leCted by the court 10 case the owner Is
unwilling % sell at what is deemed Il
reasonable prlce. When the condemna-
ton Is made and the proceedings salts
ned. the State IS required, through the
Legislature, 10 rellnqulsh IT'S right OF
eminent domain, and forever exempt
ing IL from all taxes.
The weather conditions Of the past
week have been unfavOrable 10 corn,
oats and potetOes on account OF the
continued dry weather. These condl-
ton, and especially IN the southwest,
where there has been little or no ram
during the past two weeks. The effect
on the oat crop has been to prematurely
ripen il; and TO dry up the corn and
potato crops. In the other sections
that received a sufficient amount of
ram 20 moisten the ground, the crops
are much improved. The wheat har-
vest - about finished and threshiug Is
now in progress. Yields OF from to 43
bushels to the acre have been reported =,
which shows that spotted growth" of
toe wheat crop this year. Oats are be-
ing cut tins week IN the southern sec
ton, and the harvesting will be general
next week. Unless good rain occurs
IN the southern section during this week
the condition of corn and potatoes will
be materially red duced, and the yield
Iessened TO a considerable extent
