We enjoyed a pleasant visit last
Monday, from Will BOulton of the KiOwa
Signal. He is district agent of the I'm
migration bureau for Southwestern Kan
sas. and was returning home from CON-
ference with the TransmissOuri Passen-
ger association, in the interest of harvest
excursion rates for Southwestern Kansas
The rates were at first refused on account
of opposition from the Z. z. Railway.
but on last Friday night the objection
was withdrawn, and the excursions will
bring thousands of home seekers to in
spect the lands upon which such remark
able crops of small grain were harvested
this year. Mr.. Boulton feels very san
guine that great change is at hand for
this country and that renewed wave
of immigration is about to again overflow
this country with actual farmers. He
says half dozen families have come in
to Kiowa county within the last ten days,
having purchased the land for homes
from the mortgage companies, who have
obtained title BY foreclosure.

LONDON. July 2O.-The summary OF
the harvest prospects of the world is as
follows:
In Russia there is a grave deficit. the
peasantry are starving and there is small
hope of relief.
In India there is great anxiety. and a
famine prevails over great portion OF
the country. Madras, Rajbutana and
Punjab are the worst sufferers. There
is severe drouth in Bengal, while Bonn
bay alone promises a good harvest.
The American harvests will be good in
quality and amount.
With the failure of the Indian and
Russian supplies it is of the utmost i'm
portance that the English crop shall not
be short. The prospect on the whole is
good. In the chief wheat counties
Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk-the wheat
crop is good and in the other counties
up to the average, but their harvest will
be late and prices high. There is there
fore good outlook for the English farm
er to break the long series of disastrous
years.

NOT VERY SEVERE.
Church Fined $1,000 and Sent for
One Year 10 Jail.

John Henry Church's application for
new trial was denied by Judge Trout yes
terday morning and he was sentenced to
serve one year in the County Jail. besides
having fine of $1,000 imposed on him. His
counsel gave notice of an appeal.
John Henry Church is a wealthy resident
of Fruitvale, suburb of Oakland. and has
furnished scandalous gossip for the papers
and public for several years through dis
graceful escapades with his wives-n al
most every case with a different wife. 1t
is only about three years since he married q
girl Of tender years in Oakland against the
wishes of her parents and against the law.
One of the uaStieSt scandals that ever fes-
tered in an Alameda court followed. Final
ly the yong thing obtained a divorce, tile

being disgusting
But John Henry was undaunted. The
records were not dry till he had plumed
himself for another conquest. In few
months he was again benedict, and the
bride quite fascinating little uOsegay of
Alameda loneliness. People who know
John Henry and of him wondered where
the charm lay. They have never discovered.
All went as happy as the time-honored
marriage bell for few months more, when
the tongue of scandal was again set wagging
and told how inhumanly cruel John Henry
had been to his pretty little wife.
lu few days more she fled her new home
of luxury and ease 10 find place of safety.
Her only sympathiZer was one of John
Henry's former wives, an Immensely de-
velOped and muscular specimen of feninin-
ity, who could have tossed him out of the
skylight with the utmost ease. She lived at
Mason street. and the moral complexion
| of her urIoundings was somewhat shady :;
| but thither the frightened little thing went,
| looking the very picture of woe. John
| Henry armed himself to the teeth, exter-
| nally and internally, and went in pursuit.
| He not only went, hut saw and conquered,
though not without struggle.
| He fired several shots at his recreant
| spouse, which aided mu tn her fright,
| but nothing more serious. John Henry
| was in that peculiarly mixed condition that
| placed everything around him in peril ex-
| cept the object he aimed at. He found a
| nights lodging in Jail and awoke on the
| morrow to the awful consciousness that bad
| craftsmanship only had stood between him
| and a murderer's doom. The charge of
| assault to murder was lodged against him
| and the interval between the shooting and
the trial he employed patching up truce
! With his wife.
He succeeded so completely that when
| placed on the witness-Stand the now thor

| could not remember to save her life whether
