WOODLANDS DEATH.
The Miliionaire's Financial Affairs
Are Involved.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 25.-It begins to
look as if there was additional ground
for belief that Clark WoOdman. who
was found dead in the Grand Pacific
hotel in Chicago. committed suicide, IN
spite of the verdict of the coroner's jury.
The developments of to-day Indicate
that his financial affairs were not in the
best of shape at the time of his death.
Attorneys for the United States Ma
tional bank brought suit against the
WOOdman-Ritchie company to re-
cover $4,000 on some promls-
sorry notes executed last fall and
long past due. The notes were
executed by Clark WOOdman, president
of the company. and were unsecured.
At the time of filing the petition in the
district court the new elevator on North
Seventeenth street was attached and is
now in the hands of the sheriff. 1t is
underst God that other suits for large
amounts will be brought in day or two.
The suits in nowlse affect the oil mill,
or the old elevator, as they are both
owned by the linseed oil trust. Mr.,
Woodman's will was filed i'll the probate
court to-day. The will is a very brief
one. 1t was executed Aug. 9, the day
before Mr.. Woodman started on his fatal
trip, and bequeaths all his property to
bic wife

CANADA's POSITION
On the Killing of American Live
Stock for Export.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 25.-Premier
Abbott, in the senate. in reply to
question by Senator Power, stated that
the government had still under consid-
Grafton the question of allowing the i'm
portation Of American live cattle to be
slaughtered in Canada. AS the matter
had been brought up, he said he would
state exactly how the matter stood. 1t
has been the custom to allow the ship
ment of American cattle in bond in
Canada from one point to another in the
United States. These cattle were taken
in cars at one or two intermediate points
in Canadian territory and fed and wa
tered. OF course, strict quarantine regu
latiOnS were observed, and the govern
meDt saw no serious difference in al
lowing the importation of these cattle
into Canada to be slaughtered for ex-
port. Although the government had
not yet finally decided the question, he
could announce that within few years,
within all probability, there would be
established at several points III Canada
large meat packing concerns, as large
number of prominent eattlemen desired
to start enterprises of this kind.

Indianapolis Must Ec0nOmlZe on
the Natural Product.
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 25.-Further dis
closures are made as to the diminution
of the supply of natural gas in the In
diana field. The present supply for the
city of Indianapolis is obtained from
an almost completely new set of wells,
and it is necessary to continually open
new ones. Experience has proved, &C
cording to the published figures, that
the average life of a well, where drawn
upon constantly, is about three years,
and of some the time is shorter. In the
beginning. the supply was obtained at
a point i'll the field twenty miles distant
from indianapolis. Now 1t is necessary
to bring the gas a distance of nearly
forty miles, and the wells are now
within a few miles of the heart OF the
field. The purpose in disclosing these
facts is to enforce economy in tie use
of the fuel, and to secure the inaugural
ton of the meter system instead of per-
hitting consumers to burn all the gas
they want for fixed yearly charge.
There is great waste in tie manu-

ACRES AND AVERAGES
Statistics Showing the Land
Under Cultivation in This
State.
Over One Million More Acres
OF Wheat This Year Than
Last.
Average Yield Last Year Was
Is Bushels, This Year 20
Bushels Per Acre.
All Kinds of Grain Show a
Healthy Advance on a
Year Ago.

The secretary of state has received
reports from the county auditors of the
state, giving the crops for 1899, together
with the acreage, the bushels per acre
realized for wheat, corn, oats and flax.
He has also received the acreage
planted to thesefOr 1891. 1t shows that
in 1890 there were 3,01S,7S7 acres OF
wheat sown, 40. 29S, 142 bushels har-
vested, making an average of thirteen
bushels to the acre. This year there
were 3, 359, 9S3 acres sOwn to wheat, and
it is estimated that the crop must at
least average twenty bushels to the
acre. Taking this as basis the crop is
fully 81, 1873, $50 bushels, and it is gen.
orally believed this is a small estimate.
In 1890 !. 339, 9S7 was the total acreage
in oats, and it gave an aggregate yield
of IS, 9S9,943 bushels, or an average OF
20 bushels to the acre. There were
1,457, 166 acres sowed this year, and it is
estimated that the crop will average 30
bushels to the acre, giving product OF
81. 900, $40 bushels.
The number of acres of corn planted
to corn in 1890 was rs, 463, from which
Is, S4S, 1913 bushels were realized, or an
average of $3.50 bushels to the acre.
This year the acreage IS increased to
7S2. 49, but it is very much like tamper-
ing with fate to give an estimate of the
yield. Many fortuitOps circumstances,
the most dangerous of which, of course,
is frost, threaten. Should everything
end happily. it is believed the average
per acre will show fair increase over
last years. Multiplying the number OF
acres by 26, which is only slight frac-
ton more than the average of the pre-
vious year, gives a total of 2O,342,Sl6
| bushels.
In 1890 there were 4O9141 acres of
flax, and the harvest was 3,959,6S1 bush
! bushels of seed. an average of go per
acre. This year the acreage is 455,5l2,
and the conservative estimate is that
the yield is 10 bushels to the acre. or
| 4,665, 120 bushels.

lated below:

Promptness at meals is virtue of which
absence has caused deep anguish of spirit
to countless long-suffering housewives. The
hardness at breakfast from indulgence in
last nap. or at luncheon from too pro.
tracted shopping expedition, or at dinner from
an over-extended round of calls, may seem
trifie to the delinquent, but Harper's Bazaar
reminds sinners in this respect that to the
housekeeper 1t means injury to the food and
disturbance Of her own peace Of mind. The
habit OF always being ready when meal is
announced should be especially binding upon
guest. For one who is receiving the hos
pitality of home to requite 1t by disregard
ing Its customs is the extreme Of Ill breeding.
