here and there we're nearly thirty Thousand
veterans in line. They kept up frantic
cheering as the passed they president. Quite
a number of them were old Indianians and
members of the presidents brigade. When
he recognized many of them and called
them by name, the enthusiasm knew no
bounds.
After lunch the president received many
old veterans, state and city officials and
prominent citizens. The party then pro-
ceeded to the fair grounds, where Governor
Humphrey delivered an address of well
come. The president responded at consid-
cradle length, thanking the governor and
the citizens of Kansas for their generous
welcome and expressed his qualification at
the evidences of prosperity on every hand.

Reaches Atchison.
ATcHrsoN, Kansas, Oct. 1O.-The presi-
dent arose early this morning and when
st. Joseph was approached he and his
party had only time to hastily take cup
of coffee before entering the city. At the
union depot an immense crowd was assem-
bled. Conspicuous in the assemblage was
the Custer post of the G. A. R., which was
drawn up in line. They made passage
way for the president and acted as escort
until the neighborin0 hotel was reached,
where public reception was held.
At the conclusion of the presidents
remarks the party returned to the rotunda
of the depot, where the president shook
hands with the crowd as they fled past.
At 1880 o'clock the train pulled out of st.
Joseph amid the cheering of the crowd.
The run to Atchison was made without any
incident beyond the cheers of the crowds at
the depots as the train went by. Atchison
was reached at 8:45 q. M, where large
crowd was assembled.

OBrien and Dillon, charged with inciting
the tenants not to pay their rents, was again
called at Tipperary this morning. Neither
of the defendants were present. Both are
members of the committee appointed at tho
Irish Nationalist meeting in Dublin to visit
America for the purpose of soliciting aid
for the Nationalist cause. The rumor is
current that they forfeited their bail, 81, 600
each, IN the conspiracy case.
The information thus far received shows
that they did not leave by the ordinary
channels of passage. Their bail will be
forfeited and will be paid by the National
league. At the request of the counsel for
the crown. the courts certificate of nom
appearance was attached to the bail bonds
Of Dillon and O'Brien. An adjournment

slider what steps should be taken. War
rants have been issued for the arrest Of the

THE CROP REPORT.
Condition Of Cereals In all Sections of the
Country.

Condition of Cereals in all Sections Of the
Country.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The October esti-
mates of yield per acre for the entire
breadth of cereal crops, compiled by the
department of agriculture. are; Winter
wheat, 1913 bushels per acre; spring wheat,
11.5; wheat crop, Ill; oats, 1913; barley, q;
rye, 11.e. The condition of corn is 7O.6, in
stead of 7O.1 as last month; buckwheat 9O.7, ,
instead of 9O.5: potatoes 61.7, instead of
65.7 tobacco 85.4, instead of 82.4.
There is practically no change in the
general average of condition, except re-
duction of four points in tobacco. The
effect of the winter frosts upon wheat ia
shown by the lower rate of yield to have
been severe. Some of the higher rates in
the principal. states are: New York, 15.2;
Pennsylvania. II; Ohio, 12.5: Michigan,
1876; California, u; Oregon, Is.
Crops have made very low yield through
out the south. where the acreage is small.
In the Ohio valley there is a variation in
yield in different counties, as On farms in
some places there has been an extraordinary
range of from five to twenty-five bushels
and IN extreme cases from one to thirty
bushels. One county in Illinois claims the
"best crop in years. and another ''poorel
crops than expected" Rocky mountain
areas made averages in spring wheat on
limited areas. Dakota's Yields vary from O
bushel or two to twenty-five bushels, max
ing an average of nine bushels per acre.
Minnesota returns twelve and Wisconsin
12.5 bushels. The estimated yield of oats
of 1913 bushels which is the lowest ever re.
ported, probably reducing the aggregate
product more than zoo, 100000 bushels.

MoHoNK LAKE, N. Y, Oct. 1O.-At the
session of the Indian conference to-day a
letter was read from Miss Kate Foote, who
has been making an official visit to the
Mission Indians of California. Miss Foote
said the Indians are still victims of the
greed of their white neighbors. The execu-
tive committee, reporting the platform
of the Mohonk association for 1880, re-
views the work done toward the civili-
cation of the Indians, and urges
congress to make such liberal and
increasing appropriations as may
be necessary to perfect this plan and carry
it into full operation. 1t calls for the fur
ther extension of education in all industrial
arts as essential to-preparation for self-sup-
port; it protests against the removal of cap
able officials for party reasons; recommends
improvement in provisions for the regular
and legal administration of Justice. both
toward and among Indians; urges the
churches to larger gifts and greater zeal in
their distinctive Christian work among
Indians; reafhrms as the fundamental prin-
ciple which should control all friends of
Indians that all work for them, whether
by private benevolence or by the govern
ment, should be done in anticipation of,
and in preparation for, the time when
the Indian races of this country will
be absorbed into the body Of our citizens
and the specific Indian proposition will be
merged in the great problem of building up
the human brotherhood which the provi-
dence of God has laid upon the American
people. The conference unanimously
adopted resolution urging that money de-
rived from the sale of surplus reservation
be held as a fund to aid Indians on allot-
ments in learning how to support them

Carter Abruptly Leaves Washington
for Montana in Response to
Urgent kilograms.
The Situation Represented by Re-
publicans as in an Alarm
ing Condition.
His Confidence largely Assume d---His
Washington Friends Know Him to
BE Really Alarmed.

WAeHNaroN, Oct. 1O.-[Special.] .]-Con-
gressman Carter left tonight for Helena,
leaving the national congressional cam
paiRn in the hands of Chairman Belden for
time. His departure is understood to
have been in response to urgent kilograms
from prominent republicans of Montana,
who represented that the canvass in that
state was in an alarming condition. The
great personal popularity of Hon. w. w.
Dixon, democratic nominee for congress, SO
the kilograms to Cater allege together
with the effect of the tariff bill in advanc-
ing materially the cost of almost all arti-
ciee of household use and personal wear,
had started stampede of laboring men
away from Mr.. Carter. Mr.. Carter had not
intended to start for Montana for ten days,
but the extreme urgency of the kilograms
induced him to change his plans and put of
post haste to exert what efforts he could to
avert the impending avalanche.
Although Mr.. Carter has steadfastly pro-
fessed in public entire confidence in his re-
election, it is understood among coterie
of close friends that his assurance is largely
assumed, and that as matter Of fact he is
not at all confident. He is we'll aware that
there are great many things in his record
that must be explained to the voters Of Mon
tana, and he appreciates the humiliation of
a canvass in which he will be put on the de-
fensive. This is understood to be the chief
reason of his challenge to Judge Dixon to
hold joint meetings, az Mr. Dixon's pres
ence would deter any inquisitive democrat
from asking embarrassing questions. MIR.
Carter's pell NELL departure has left the
affairs of the committee in bad shape, and
the few other republican congressman yet
in the city are of the opinion that it will
create good deal of dissatisfaction, Chair
man Belden being figure head and not
havlus, Aiha ws.rk Of the committee in hand.

impossible to convey any idea of the frenzy
of delight here" The News, in an editorial,
compares the escape of Dillon and O'Brien
to the marvellous escapes of Mazzini, and
says they will be received in Americs
as Kossuth and other patriots escaping
from continental expressions had been re-
ceived there. The News adds: "If the cof-
fers of the league are empty, as its enemies
boast, Balfour's laundering will soon re-

The Chronicle says: "The inference ID

not desire to keep them in the country
Otherwise they could not have escaped the
vigilance of the police. The stage is now

and O'Brien went to Waterford and from
there to Havre on Wednesday and pro
ceeded from the latter port to New York.

Fatal Contact Of a Pen d'Oreille
Indian With Missoula
Whisky.
An Important Witness In the
Horse Stealing Cases Thus
Removed.
Sold Liquor tn Railroaders-Twenty In
dictments Against Bennett for
Stealing Cattle.

MBsouLA, Oct. TO- [Special.l - About
seven o'clock teamster hauling slabs to
the electric light works noticed man lying
on his face under the north approach to
Missoula bridge and called the attention Of
j. $. Robinson and Sam johnson, who
were passing. Mr.. Robinson went down
and looked at the man and found he was
an Indian and from all appearances was
dead. The coroner at once summoned
jury who carried him out and had him
brought to the undertaker's. From other
Indians who saw him it is learned his name
is Samuel, Pen d. 'Oreille, who was up here
as q witness in the case of the Indians now
in Jail for horse stealing. When
found the body was quite warm,
showing that he had not been dead
long. At the feet of the body broken
beer bottle. that had contained whisky, was
found. Mr.. Dougan. the miller. SAYS that
he saw the Indian last night lying on a
plank near the electric light works, and the
engineer at the works says that he came in
there last night and made signs, putting
his hands to his head and stomach, as
though in pain, but the engineer could not
understand him. The supposition is that
the dead man was sick, and that after get
ting hold of the whisky he drank enough to
kill him. t
Boland, the man who was arrested about
two weeks ago ON the charge Of selling
liquor within the prescribed two-mile limit,
was brought in tonight on a second charge,
by Deputy Sheriff O'Brien, from the St.
Regis country. The officers are bent on
breaking up that gang and claim to have
evidence enough to send Boland over the
road.
The grand jury have been working on the
Bennett cattle stealing case all day.
