THE KANSAS WHEAT CROP.

TOPEKA. Kan, June 16-Secretary
Mohler, of the state agricultural board,
returned this morning from trip through
the northwestern part of the state. He
declares that the crop reports which have
been collected by the various newspapers
within the past few weeks are very mis-
leading. "The fact of the matter is. ;" he said,
that there never was a time in the state
when there were such differences between
adjoining wheat fields In the Solomon
valley, for instance, D. | found fields which
would make fifty bushels to the acre,
while adjoining fields will not pay for the
cutting. The,statement that the yield will
reach &C, 900, 600 bushels is also erroneous.
There will be the largest acreage that the
state has ever had. 1t will reach 5000, 900
acres, and, as nearly as can be estimated
now, there will be a three-fOurths crop, or
fifteen bushels to the acre" The secretary
does not expect an especially large yield
from the northwest.
HOXIE, Kan, June 16.-Sheridan county
has been blessed by a rain all Monday
night and Tuesday. The small grain crop
is now assured, and the best estimates is
that Sheridan county farmers will harvest
900. 0G0 bushels of wheat, 20U, 900 of rye and
800, 900 of oats.
GREAT BEND, Kan, June 16-The wheat
in this county is suffering from the raw
ages Of a small white worm three-eighths

In conclusion. Mai Mckinley defended
the protective tariff and the Mckinley bill
in his characteristic manner.
At the conclusion of Maj. McKinley's
speech, ex Governor Foraker spoke briefly
but enthusiastically Of the coming success
in Ohio.
THE PLATFORM.
The committee on resolutions was in
session until late tonight drafting a plat
form for tomorrow's session. but no ma
terial progress was made, There were two
questions of dispute. the money question
and the tariff question, and there Will
probably be compromise on both. En-
thusiastic Mckinley men were in favor OF
a resolution endorsing in emphatic terms
the Mckinley law" but the others
thought the safer plan was to merely en-
dorse the principle of protection to Amer
ican labor This and other disputed SUBJ
jects were finally submitted to a sub-com-
mittee
The resolutions, so far as agreed upon,
arraign and denouIce the present Demo
cratic state administration and recent
Democratic legislation. The Democratic
legislature is denounced for electing TO the
United States senate financial specuiator
and man who is practically a non-resi-
dent of Ohio, who had no record of states
manship and nothing to recommend him
for the high honor. The Democratic leg
islature is also arraigned for passing the
most unfair congressional gerrymander
- ,I1n
which the Republican party, with a con-
ceded majority of 10000, was given less
than one-third of Ohio's representation in
the national house.

THE BENSON CASE

LEAvENwORTa, Kan, June 16.-Judge
Riner's decision in the motion for a new
trial for Benson will not be made known
til Thursday An odd discovery was
made today, and this is failure to ac-
count for the letter written by the Fosters
for Mrs. Mettman an hour before she was
last seen alive. The letter was written by
Bertha Foster about O'Clock at Mrs
Mettman's dictation, and was addressed to
the murdered woman's daughter in New
York. Mrs. Mettman left the home Of the
Fosters with the letter that night at s
o'clock. She could hardly have mailed
that letter, but her murderer probably did;
because the daughter in New York re-
ceived it and wrote reply TO it, Nobody
but the murderer is known TO have seen
Mrs. Mettman after she left the Fosters
with the letter.

II Prevents Mortality by Inducing People
to Seek Proper Advice.
No one fails to send for physician in
typhus, yet only six persons in a million
die of this disease since efforts were made
TO suppress it, says Dr. r. g. Eccles in
Popular Science Monthly. Four hundred
and twenty-eight in million die of whoop-
ing cough because 1t seldom frightens pa
tients, and neighborly old ladies Of both
sexes give advice. Three hundred and
forty-one in a million die OF measles be-
cause IL so frightens as To induce the friends
TO send for doctor. Two hundred and
twenty-five in a million die of scarlet fever
because medical advice is sought sooner
and more implicitly obeyed One hundred
and sixty-eight in a million die Of diph-
iberia because it frightens more than most
other diseases and induces people 10 send
for Il doctor quickly. Thus we may class
diseases as more or less fatal as people arc
afraid of them and seek proper advice 10

BARDSIE IEYS METHODS,


PHILADELPHIA, June l6.-Report of the
expert accountants. showing in detail
what ex-city Treasurer Beardsley did
with S44, 500 that he embezzled from the
school fund was submitted to Mayor Stu
art yesterday, and by him forwarded TO
the councils Investigation committee. The
report says:
First-As to the $50, AGO for the school
year ending June So 1890: On May l,
1890, Bardsley's account with the Key
stone National bank, kept in his individ-
ual name, appeared TO be overdrawn
s15,926. May 81. 1890, Mr.. Bardsley depos-
tied in the bank a check from the school
fund appropriation of $25, ,42S, thus can
ceiling his overdraft and giving him a bal
ance of S9,502. Against this balance he
drew s12,274, thus more than exhausting
the balance.
Second-As to the deficit of S42O 900 on
account of the school fund for the year
ending June 30, 1891: OF this sum 500 900
was placed TO the credit of his private
account in the Third National bank, to
repay $50, 900 which he had taken in Dec
ember 1890. OF the remainder, S250, 600
was deposited January 3, 1891, to the credit
of John Bardsley in the Peoples bank. and
was used to repay the state, SIS, 600 of it.,
however, being used for loan to &c. B.
H." The remaining Sl5S,0O0 was used
partly to repay the state. The rest was
used as a partial payment on account OF d
loan of 100000 made to him December 81,
1890, by the Third National bank, said loan
being secured to the bank by collateral-a
note Of Robert Clendenning & Co. and
certain shares of stock OF the Metropolitan
Traction company, of New York city,
City Solicitor Warwick has learned of

ing to recover the stock, which, it is
alleged, was purchased with the taxpayers

Notes.

LONDON, June 16-The popular crusade
against the prince of Wales shows no
signs of abating in strength or bitterness.
After the lecture delivered last night by
Henry VI. Stanley at Cafnarvon. Wales,
the band played "God Bless the Prince OF
Wales" The Weishmen no sooner heard
the first strains Of the familiar air than
they raised a storm of Kisses, which
almost drowned the sound of the band.
At o'clock religious meetings held IN
various parts Of the country yesterday.
the prince was roundly denounced for the
part be took in the baccarat games.
Everybody is talking about Lord and
Lady Brooke. All gossip aside, the rela-
lations between the pair have been little
more than formal for several months past,
and they have not usually answered the
invitations of royalty together 1t is ru-
1nored that Lord Brooke has in his posses
sion letters fully as interesting as those in
the Mordaunt case written by the prince
of Wales, and which call for some clear
defining of the line between platonlc alice
tion and the seventh commandment. Lady
Brooke has lately shown desire to win
back her husband, who, in all probability,
will soon be the earl of Warwick, and, but
for the baccarat scandal, might have sue
ceeded. That raised such storm OF
scandal in which Lady Brooke's name held
such a prominent place that Lord Brooke
is thoroughly disgusted, and will no
longer play the part Of a complaisant hus-
band to his beautiful wife. Both of them
are independent as TO property.
As an evidence of the attitude of the
press and public on the question of the
royal prorogatiyes, a letter published in
1oday's issue of he Standard, which is
sturdy Conservative organ, may be cited.
The writer Of this letter calls attention to
the fact that during the course of the
picnic at Virginia Water on Saturday last
some of the members of the party, includ-
ing some members of the family of the
prince of Wales, violated the law relative
to the ''close season" of fishing by fishing
in those waters. The writer called upon
the local authorities to prosecute the law
breakers under the statute, and not to
exempt from punishment the members of
the roYal family who may be shown to
have violated the law. The fact that this
letter is published by the Standard goes
far to show the feeling that has been
aroused by the actions of the prince OF
Wales.
The News says: I've venture to say
that the prince Of Wales new departure.
in substantially apologizing to parliament
and to the country, exhibits Just defer
ence to public opinion and will dispose of
the whole matter"
The Chronicle cavils at the government
and the war department for providing
cushion to soften the prince of Wales fall
In n letter published today in the Pail
Mall Gazette the writer asks why captain
in the household regiment who is wanted
by the police in connection with the Cleve-
land street scandal, and who is now reSd-
ing in Tunis, should be allowed TO resign,
when Sir William Gordon Cumming was
dismissed from the army FOR his share in

AN IRRIGATION SCHEME

KANSAS CITY. June 16.-The Burlington
and Missouri River railroad, which has
extensive mileage in western Kansas, will
invest $780, 900 in system of irrigation IN
Cheyenne the extreme northwestern
county in Kansas. 1t is only by develop
ing the country as a regular crop-produc-
ing region that the company's lines in that
section can be made to pay, and it has
been determined to unite with the people
and give irrigation thorough test. To
that end South Fork Irrigation and I'm
provement company has been organized

favorable seasons
