pot.toe statis,io. Covering Twelve States.

Potatoe Statistics Covering Twelve States.
CHICAGO. ILL. Oct. 27.-The follow
ing will appear In this weeks Farmers
Review: Statistics furnished By our cor
respondents indicate that the crop Of po-
tatOes harvested in twelve states covered
by our report will be about one-third of
the product harvested in these states last
year. The severe midsummer drouth
which followed an unusually wet spring
proved disastrous to potatoes in Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Kentucky,
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Dakota. In many counties in these
states the crops were an entire failure,
and at best the yieids we're very light.
A majority of our Michigan and Minne-
sofa correspondents report the yield fair,
and take the quality average. The fact
that the acreage planted in potatoes this
year was about 1890 less than last years
acreage, should also be considered.

The Packing Hauap-

Everything was life and hustle at the
packing house and the adjoining stock
yards yesterday. The big force of men
at work on the packing house were as
busy as bees pushing their work ahead, ,
while the stock yard employees were busy
unloading hogs and cattle that came in
on the different roads. 1t is expected
that everything will be in readiness for a
trial killing of hogs Tomorrow, but it
will be next week before regular opera
tons begin.
Yesterday there were received at the
stock yards for the packing house thir-
teen carloads of cattle and FIVE loads of
fat hogs as follows: Two carloads of
cattle and two carloads of hogs from
Taylor. two carloads of hogs from
Greenville and one carload from ABBOTT,
and eleven carloads of cattle from Mar
ionfeld. There are now at the yards
about 1000 head of hogs and there will be
numerous more shipments received this
week.

The accepted theory about coal forma-
tions Is popular fallacy, and those who
think for themselves, instead of adopting
the ideas Of others, without quest on, are
beginning to seriously doubt, not only
the theory Of the origin of coal, but the
general theory as TO the origin Of the
earth. The idea that coal had its origin
in vegetation Is to geology what the
theory that the earth was the center OF
the universe was to astronomy. Reason
ing from the true origin of the earth
biologists would meet with favor difficult
ties. Our school books teach that coal
was formed from dense, gigantic, rapid
growing vegetation. In order to make
the theory appear reasonable the scientists
of that school say that great forests
would spring up INA night, and then
from some unaccountable cause the
waters by sinking of the earth would
cover these vegetable accommodations.
after which they would be covered by

would furnish ths necessary weight for
pressing the vegetable mold into coal.
As there are about 100 stratas of coal in
the earth 1t would require that many
submersions in each locality In order to
form these coal stratus This invention
Is like those of the ancient astronomers

Well informed Mems Opinion Concerning
the Union Pacific,s Racnnt Action

Well informed Mems Opinion ConcernInE
the Union Pacifc's Recent Action.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 27.-The Times
tomorrow morning will say: A rather
startling theory Is advanced by certain
well informed railway men in explana-
ton of the Union Paclfo's action in
forcing its connections east of the Mis-
souri, river to Chicago and Alton
their through rate arrangements
with that road. The theory
Is the management of the Union Pacific
has adopted this course as part of the
deep-laid scheme to wreck the road, or
so depress the stock that the Vanderbilt
interests will be able TO buy
1t in at the lowest possible
figures. 1t is generally understood
that Vanderbilts have had their eye on
the Union Pacific for long time, and
have lately moved more or less directly
toward the acquisition of a controll-
Ing interest in the property with q
view of completing their much cherished
plan of establishing an independent
route from ocean to ocean. This was IN
a measure accomplished by the ten-year-
trsfic contract between that road and
Chicago and Northwestern, which is
practically controlled by Vanderbilt,
but that contract Is regarded as only q
step TO the real object In view.

was the center of the universe. II had
been inventing a theory l would have
claimed that coal is formed of seaweed
like we now find in the Sargasso sea in
the center of the North Atlantic whirl.
That seaweed forms vast bed of vege-
table matter, and when the Atlantic fills
up from drift of the continents and the
continents sink to fill up the holes made
by the burning out Of volcanoes that
seaweed will lie under heavy pressure
of earth, and if coal is formed in that
way that seaweed will certainly become
a bed Of coal in future geological ages.
But do not believe that coal is thus
formed. but is S&part of the earth's
accumulations froaf space, a more CON-
plete explanation OF which will give in
