BULLETIN NO. 81.
For the week ending November Z 1891

Another week of warm, perfectly
dry, and almost cloudless weather has
advanced cotton picking well on to-
wards completion. and has also been
all that could be desired for harvest
ing work in the rice and sugar fields.
The cane crop is turning out excel
lent1y, but grinding is being very much
retarded in many sections BY the low
stage of bayous and streams upon
which planters have depended for
their supply of water. A scarcity of
labor is also reported in some sections
u the sugar region
Fall blowing and seeding is almost
entirely suspended On account Of the
dry condition of the soil. Gardens are
parched mp, and vegetables are report
ed scarce and inferior.

A Reckless Negro.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Sept. IA negro
Frank Berry, q notorious character
who has been driven out OF the city
several times and is guilty OF many
crimes, among them murder. quarreleo
with a negro woman in a low negro
dive last night and tried to cut hel
throat. She escaped and ran into the
Office OF Matthew Henberry, q whole
sale LIQUOR dealer. Berry followed her
in and threw her down. he drew her
head across his knee to cut her throat
when Mr.. Henberry interfered. The
negro chased him back into his private
office and again seized the woman and
drove a knife into her breast.
Just then Officers Sloan and Campbell
entered. Sloan tried TO shoot the des-
perate negro, but the latter cut the Of
ficer's face open In q shocking way.
Campbell was cut from the base o.
the ear to the forehead. The nego got
out and ran two blocks, waving his
bloody knife and threatening the lives
of all he met. Officer Shaver intercept
tod him and knocked him down, and be.
fore he could rise the patrol wagon had
driven over him. The only serious
wound the negro received was q cui
over the eve, where one OF the patrol
horses stepped on him. All OF his VIC
tins are in q serious condition.

Delsarte in the Alliance.

The Delsarte fad travelled west by
easy stages until it reached Chicago,
where for some time it seemed to have
halted. Now we find that it has leaped
at one bound from Chicago into Kan
sas, where it has already taken strong
hold on several towns. Delsarte clubs
are being formed and the enthusiasm Is
extending into the rural districts.
Delsarte in the rural districts OF
Kansas will be worth watching. 1t
will be interesting to note just what et-
feet it will have on the farmers alli-
ance. II the Deisarte fad is extending
from the towns into the country dis
tricts it must have been favorably re-
ceived by the farmers, and even by Sem
ator PETER himself. Jerry Simpson
and Mrs. Lease must have endorsed it,
or may be expected to do so.
We do not think we can encourage
the Kansas farmers in bothering about
this matter. The Delsarte movement
is not necessary to the successful pur-
suit OF the science OF agriculture. It
can have no possible bearing on crops.
Grasshoppers would laugh it to scorn.
Then, too, there is the example OF
Ingalls,. While not pupil to Delsarte,
as far as is known, Delsarte himself
could have no more physical grace and
culture than Senator Ingalls,, and yet
look at Ingalls, to-day-shorn, as We
may say, OF everything but his Prince
Albert coat and his lecture.
II is fate that should turn the Kan
sas farmer back from ply sical culture
to potato culture in very short order

three years, getting the passage down
