CORN, WHEAT AND OATS,
Estimates on the Production of Thes G
Cereals the Past Year

Cereals the Past Year.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-The estimates OF
the production of corn, wheat and oats for
1890, completed by the statistian of the de-
partment of agriculture, make corn aggregate
l,4S9, 100000 bushels, wheat 399, 90, 900 bush
els and oats 52362l 900 bushels. The area of
corn. which was slightly increased in plant
ing, was reduced by utter failure and aban-
donment by more than 100000 acres, the
area harvested being 1870, ,763 acres. The
average yield per acre was 20.7 bushels and
the supply for consumption per head of popu-
lation % bushels, or IL bushels less than last
year. The rate Of yield was lower in 1887
and 1881, years of very severe drought.
The aggregate wheat area is 36, 0S7, 154
acres, nearly the same as in 1879, and the
yield per acrc.ll.l bushels, These are meas
ured bushels, of quality grading somewhat
lower than usual, the weight of which will be
given In the March report Past records
show that the annual differences in the
weight of crops are not often more than
pound above or below the average weight for
series of years, the lowest for seven years
being j6,5 in lSSs and the highest 5S5in 1857.
The yield per acre is the same as in 1883,
when the product was nearly 4l6,O0O, 900
bushels, and with two exceptions is the low
est rate during the past decade.
The area in oats was 26,43l ,369 acres and
the yield per acre was 1913 bushels. This is
only ~ per cent of the average for ten years
past, which was 26.6 bushels, and the smallest
rate of yield ever reported by the Office
The December condition of the growing
wheat crop is returned at 9S.4 and of rye 90
This is better than the December returns for
two years past. Some damage was done by
the Hessian fly, especially in early sown
fields. The condition in Missouri and Kan
sas was variable, the local injury from
drought and the fly combining to somewhat
reduce state averages.

An Injustice to the Guards,

RUsHvILLE, Neb., Jan. 10.-[Special Tele-
gam to The BEE. Both officers aud men
OF the mllitia feel that the World Herald cor
respondent has done the national guards an
injustice in his untrue and would be facetious
report of their socalled fright upon the re-
turn of a detachment of cavalry to town the
other day. Very few of the guards were dis
turbed by the event and these, so far from
quaking with fear, actually sought to fight
the supposed enemy that was approach ing.
They say they do not object to having their
doings reported If correspondents will only
stick to the truth. The correspondent re-
ferred to has not the best opportunity of OBJ
serving the movements of the militia when

terest and attractiveness in the city, pictures
of the principal buildings and portraits of
many of the leading citizens, all executed in
a style which will certainly excite the ad-

O'Br.en MAY Adhere to P,rnoII

DUBLIN, Jan. lO-'rhe Telegraph says
Hooper who attended the conference at
Boulogne, telegraphs to the effect that it is
freely stated that O'Brien will absolutely ad-
here to Parnel and the McCarthyites will
have to fight O'Brien."
"Parncll went to Limerick today and at
most of the stopping places was greeted by
friendly deputation, AT one place partisans
had fight, but it was not very serious. In
a speech at Limerick Junction parcll said
he had heard cheers for O'Brien. lie would
also call for cheers for O'Brien and long
might he live to soOthe animosity and, if
possible, bring union to their ranks. A.
Limerick Parncll was received with "a most
enthusiastic demonstration In his speech
he said that while he could not say TO what
length ne ard O'Brien Travelled together at
Boulogne, he might tell them without "a
breach OF confidence that he himself was
perfectly satisfied with the result of the con-
ference.

RUsuvILLE, Neb., Jan. 10. O.,-[Special Tel
egram to The BEE. The settlers have
every confidence In the troops IN the field
and in the commanders. The people here
understood, from very good authority, that
the government is determined to disarm the
Indians and, believing this, they can predict
no other possibility than desperate fight to
extermination. They believe there was a
conspiracy among the Indians to go on the
warpath which was ripening when Sitting
Bull was shot. His death forced the fight
in advance, Big Foot endeavored to carry
out the willy old Indians plans, but he
could only control his own followers
1t is believed that while a few of the In
dians may not want war, all will resist any
endeavor to make them give up their arms
Settlers have sacrificed the work OF years
to take their families to places of safety
The train which went out last night had one
coach, in which there were thirty mothers
with babes in their arms, besides other chill
dren. Deserted ranches are pillaged by the
bad characters, who are plentiful and those
who have left their ranches will find little at
homo when they return.

moning bvstanders, and other minor details,
said by lawyers to make a good bill. The bill
as II now reads refers TO cities of 100000 or
more population. Mr.. Smell, county attorney
for Lancaster county, requested tnat the re-
quired population be reduced to $4,000, as in

Gurley moved that the bill be sent in as ii
was, with the instruction that the committee

Quit His job.

Some of the boys enjoyed little fun Tues
day by liking up kilograms purporting to be
from military headquarters ordering the
O'Neill military company to go on the even
Ing train west to do duty under General
Miles, ays the Item, The soldier boys
rushed around, donned their heavy under
wear, got their guns, and made all preparations
togo, when it became evident that it was a put
up job. We heard of one man who even quit
his job, and had he not been fortunate enough
to get it back again might have been without
employment now. 1t is all right to have
proper fun, but though the boys meant to
make it such we think it was carried little
too far in this instance (as some of them did
not think it very funny and no doubt farther
than was intended by the Originators.

The Danger Line Completely Guard ed.

RUsnvIILE, Neb, Jan. O.-ISpecial Tcle-
gram to The BEE. The last dctachmcnts
of militia moved out today, as indicated in
yesterdays dispatch. The { ,ger line is
now completely guarded and protection to
settlers assured, As result tho refugees
have all returned to their homes to pursue
their peaceful avocations, and for the first
time in several weeks affairs have assumed
their customary tenor, Reports today from
the several commands give assurance that
the guards are comfortably situated and con-
tented. They are provided with ten days
rations, ample clothing and all necessary
supplies. The seven men confined in the
hospital are doing well, and Brigade Surgeon
Walden asks THE BEE to assure the friends
Of the guards that the sick are receiving
every attention and convenience that they
would if 1T home. From unofficial sources it
is learned that General Miles says the
trou ble will be settled within the next three
days, either by full surrender otthe hostiles
or the bloodiest battle of Indian history
with the chances in favor of a peaceful set
tlement. In the event of further war it is
quite unlikely that the militia will have to
fight, so completely are the hOstiles sur
rounded by the regulars, but if necessary
there is no question that the boys are ready
for any emergency,
