Does Wheat Ever Turn to Chess 2

Many intelligent persons believe that
growing wheat will, under unfavorable
circumstances, change to chess. In proof
of this they cite cases where before an
unreasonable frost or storm was prom
ising growth of wheat, could soon after
ward be found only growth of chess.
This is no proof of transformation of
wheat into chess Wheat belongs to the
genus Bromus. There is no more con.
nection between, or dependence of one
upon the other than there is between the
sheep and goat, or between copper and
iron. One of the latter is just rs likely
to change to the other as wheat is to
chees If wheat could turn to chess we
would soiletimes find in a field stalks
having upon it wheat and chess grains,
but no one has ever seen such a mon
strosity. The undersigned will pay q
handsome reward for such q specimen.
The reason why chess appears where
wheat should be is because either the
ground was already stocked with chees
seed or tbs farmer sowed chess as an i'm
purity with his wheat seed. The season
proving unfayorsble to wheat, the chees.
which is very hardy, got the upper hand
and smothered the wheat-GeraM Mc,

That is, they decided to pass just such
bill as Senator Ingalls, outlined in the
interview wired last night. 1t was, how.
ever, decided in the caucus that the least
said about it for the present the better,
consequently the report was given out
that nothing definite was decided upon
by the CAUCUS.
This led few papers, and some dem
ocratic senators to believe that the bill
would nevcr pass
Their belief is, however, far from cor
rect.
The republican senators are simply
playing shrewd political game in refus.
ing to give out correct report of their
caucus.
Opposition to the bill during the past
week, from all sections of the country,
has been so decided, and petitions against
it have come j. such great numbers that
the republican senators thought it best
to say as little about their intentions as
possible right at present. They believe
there will be enough discussion and pro.
test when the bill comes formally before
the senate, and right now it is best to
have degree of doubt upon the minds
of the democratic senator's, in order that
they may not prolong the debate on the

Bear hunting is today an exact

pet bear chained up in the yard, doing
time IN amusing the guests and serving
as a stoolpi-eon or decoy for other
boarders with sporting proclivities.
This was the bear the New Yorker had
been looking for. He bought and paid
for it on the spot S5O-a bear on the
