This morning dawned damp and misty, as

of Ordway Rifles, but stormy Pe.rels. ="
'Rain Jonabs and many other as appropriate
names. 1t probably is a good thing, though,
that it has been damp, for the boys, even as
affected by the rainy weather. have made the
place hvelier than it has been since the old days
Of SO. So say the old residents
But it is about an even thing between the
miserable Ordway weather on the one side and
the excellent eating on the other. The men, as
Copeland calls them, no longer yell ''dog, dog,
dog as they march to mess, but they sing
chicken. chicken. chicken"

presence of large audience, assembled for
drill The new extended order was taken up

Sail on the Nevada.


Sail ON the Nevada
The steamship State of Nevada Yesterday
morning pointed her prov toward Sandy Hook
as preliminary to starting for Bonnie Scot
land. Among the cabin passengers were four
teen members Of the international Association
Foot Ball team, composed of American and Ca
madam players, who are to meet the crack
players of England, Scotland and Ireland The
men that sailed we're Messrs. Shay, Buckley,
Waring, Gregory, Thibodo, Dalton, Whitaker,
Warbrick, Bowman, Manson, Jeffrey, Hill,
Buckingham and Munro. A. N. Garrett and Z.
C. Seukler, the Toronto players, were detained
by business and will sail next week. ]. A. Ellis,
an Ottawa lawyer, accompanies the team as
manager.
The team will play its first match on August
% and its last on January T. 1892 There are
forty-three games scheduled, and the players
feel confident of holding their own against all
Great Britain. team Of Canadians made the
trip two years ago and broke even on twenty
three matches, winning rine, losing nine and
drawing five. Only one member of that team
is in the present Observation-Disclosures.
Half-back Warbrick. graduate of Toronto

enthusiastically of the pfvsf &c is OF the team
and while ackn ow'edging the English players as
hard mats to crack WA certain that his side
would more than hold 'ts cwn "individually,"
he said, I'VE have the greatest players. In as

To SEA two or three of our meu passing the

pretty sight. A tirst-class team of English play

The Yield Of Winter Wheat Phenomen.lly
Good.

Good
The winter wheat crop, which il now safely
harvested, is the largest this country has ever
produced. Even the most northern zelda
those of the spring wheat sections Of the north
west, have carried out the promises made
The quality of the grain is also uniformly fine.
The proportion of low grade STUFF il probably
smaller than in any crop ever raised. In a few
localities In Kansas there was some damage by
storms, but this was mainly to the color of the
grain; the quality was but slightly injured
The enormous movement OF the last month
has more than verified the most rosy predic.
tions of the crop. Last weeks receipts Of new
winter wheat in Chicago-4,650 cars-are the
largest on record. The grain never fails To
weigh above sixty pounds TO the measured
pounds. Predictions by well-posted statisti-
clans are that the crop, when finally summed
up next March by the Agricultural Department.
VIII be found to weigh at least 20 DOC. 600 bush
els more than estimated at the present time
The movement to the Chicago market has 90
far been almost exclusively from Illinois and
Indiana points. Very little grain has come from
points west of the Mississippi river. At the
other western points. ioledo and st Louis, the
receipts seem - nave cone from the states in
which those cities are located. 81 Louis on
Friday received 265 900 bushels, tho largest
SINGLE days receipts en- record at that placs.
loiedo has several tin. es turIng the last week
broken all previous recoids
Indications are that the last If the spring
wheat crop will not be entirely out Of danger
for three weeks. The frat of the crop il being
harvested now and fully 40 per cent of the
whole will be cut, If help is available, before
Saturday night A week later will probably
see 80 per cont safely harvested. All ind,ca-
tons are that the yield will be as phenomenal
Is was winter wheat. Wherever the grain has
been cut the yield has more than exceeded the
estimate made on the standing grain. All ar-
thorities agree that with three weeks more of
favorable weather the banner wheat crop of
America will have been produced.
The only apparent obstacles to such a result
are the probability of early frosts in the ex-
treme northern portions of the Dakotas and
Minnesota. These frosts, if they should come,
could not cut down the total result over 60,
0OO.OO0 bushels, possibly not over half that
quantity. If they are delayed week they will
only serve to depreciate the quality OF a large
proportion of the crop, and il delayed ten days
they might be said to be Of no consequence
whatever.

KILLED HIS BENEFACTRESS.
A Strange Romance of q Hospital and Terri
BILE Charge.

Robert H. Murray, who was released two
days ago from the Jefferson, Ind, penitentiary
has been arrested at Louisville on technical
charge, but is really held pending further in
WESTON into charge that he is murderer.
The story Of tie crime is a most unusual one.
A few years ago the train on which Murray was
a brakeman was wrecked near Terre Haute.
Murray was injured, and, with many others,
was taken to the Hospital of the Sisters Of
Mercy
The sister who attended to the brakeman 9
wants was young, goOd-looking and kind, and
Murray tell in love with her. When he recovered
sufficiently to be able to leave the hospital he
told her Of his affection, and tried to induce
her to flee with him. The good woman,
shocked, yet sympathetic. told her strange
lover she would lot even harbor thought Of
doing such thing, and Murray left the place
IN great anger. The sister told her superior of
the mans infatuation and threats. and WAS sent
to EmpOria, Kan. Shortly after her arrival at
EmpOria man called one evening and asked
to see her. The woman had no sooner APP
peared at the door than she was dealt fearful
blow on the head. The sister died after max
ing a statement that she had been struck by
her former patient, Murray. He denies that
he was either infatuated with the sister or that
he murdered her.
