OF A JUVENILE GANG
OF THIEVES
WHO HAVE BEEN Al IT FOUR YEARS.
Negro Thief Slain in Houston-Alleged
Outrage at Dallas Car Repairer
Crushed Between the Cars.

FORT WORTH, Tex, July 29,-This morn
ing couple of boys named Willie Feigles
aged years and Willie Mendel aged were
placed under arrest and incarcerated in the
county Jail, charged with highway robbery
committed on the previous evening in a
desert part of the city, the victim being
another youth some 10 years of age. Today
the prisoners made a confession not only of
the deed for which they were arrested, but
of numerous others, and ithas been learned
that for four years an organized band of
depraived boys under the name of the
Corndodger club has been operating in the
city. The names of ten members are in
possession of the police. The scamps had
a rendezvous in a deserted stable, where
they met as often as practicable for going
out upon their nightly raids. Lately the
police have traced numerous petty thefts to
gamins who, when detected and charged
with the offence, pleaded so pitiously that
they were allowed to go. The ingenuity
which the gang displayed in some of their
raids prove them be well versed in the
methods of criminals.

Iowa, Dakota and Other Points
CHICAGO, July 29.-The following will ap-
pear in this week ssFarmers Review: The
majority of correspondents in Missouri,
Kentucky and Minnesota report local show
ers that have in measure revived the
parched fields. One-third of our Ohio
correspondents report local rains, but uni
form reports from other parts of the State
is Every dry"
Except in a few scattering counties the
drouth is general throughout Illinois, In-
diana, Iowa and Dakota. The effect of this
widespread drouth is most marked on the
potato crop, the present condition ol
which is 40 per cent. lower than last yeal
at this season.
Frala the present outlook the Dakotas
and 1Ainnisota are the only states thai
promise anything like fair crop. A great
decline has taken place in the condition
of corn in the past two weeks. The Dakotas
are the only states maintaining the average
and in these states the condition is moi
uniform.
Reports from a few counties are so to rs
per cent below the average, while in a

10O to l25 per cent.
Since our last report the general averages
have fallen off 10 points in Ohio, Kentucky
and Nebraska. In Kansas the decline
amounts to 25 points, in Illinois, Indiana
Missouri and Minnisota it ranges from tc
10 points.
No marked changeis observedi in Nebraka
and Iowa reports relative to spring wheat
butin Minnesota and Dekota the averages
of conditions have declined several points
A mistaken impression appears to prevail
concerning our estimate of the crop OF win
ter wheat published last week. As stated
at that time we estimate the entire yield ot
winter wheat good and bad to 2,723, 444 ,36;
bushels and the condition at harvesting
time 20 per cent below the average. Or
account of the low average of condition the
marketable product will be necessarily rep
resented by an amount considerably less
than the figures quoted. ALI the late re-
ports that we have received confirm oul
estimate.

GERMAN Y.
THE ANeLo-eERMAN AGREEMENT.

THE ANGLo-GERMAN AGREEMENT.
BERLIN, July 29.-The Reichsanzeiger to-
day publishes Chancellor Won Caprivfs
memorandum of the Anglo German agree
ment relative to the territory ceded in
Africa. 1t begins by stating that Ger
many's colonial policy coming in contact
with English schemes caused disagreeable
compilations. As negotiations on single
points did not avail to complete a settle
ment it was decided to deal with the dis
putes from one standpoint. After giving
seriatim the grounds for concessions in
Africa made by Germany to England the
memorandum concludes by insisting upon
the value of Heligoland in view of the ma
tlonal sentiment in regard to the island s
military importance. When the island is
occupied by Germany it will be difficult for
an enemy to blockade the north coast of
the empire and its possession will give
Germany more power in the North Sea and
render il easier to defend the B attic ca 7al
