THE CORN CROP OF 1892.

From Secretary Mothers November Report
The corn crop of Kansas for 1899. as
shown 10y the final estimate of our cor
respondents, amounts to 1873. Cos, 621
bushels, an average yield per acre of
-, a bushels for the state, which is
about five bushels less than the avcra re
product per acre for a term of ten years.
The season, IN some respects, was very
uufavorable tor the crop, especially in
the south and southeastern portions of
the state The unusually cold, wet
weather of the early spring was contin-
ued late IN the season, and much corn
on low, bottom lands was practically
ruined. In the north half Of the state,
however, where corn was planted at a
later date, the damage from this cause
was less serious. Following this, during
the months of June and July, the drouth
and intense heat. long continued, proved
To be in a large measure disastrous.
where corn had attained that critical
stage in its growth when the tassel first
makes It's appearance.
From this cause the crop was greatly
shortened in many counties in tie CEN
trail belt, extending up through 4 large
portion of the solomon and Republican
valleys, and, with some important ex-
ceptions. throughout ;hu south half of
the state. However, rains coming in
time. and being repeated in many places
at desirable intervals, the corn In part
recovered. and in many of the eastern
and northern counties the crop is a good
one, averaging from 80 to 5 bushels per
acre, while in other less favored sections
the yield is only from 10 10 20 bushels
per acre.
1t Is generally conceded that the con-
diuons for corn growing become less
favorable as we go west of The Ninety
seventh meridian, but this year that rule,
in the north half Kansas, Is reversed.
aud corn west of the Oae Hundredth
meridian Is better in q general Y ay than
much ot that grown further. east, even
east of The Ninety-seventh meridian.
Corn, this year, has varied very great

different sections OF the state, aud in
different localities Of the same section,

persons should think the crop Is es5i-
mated too high and others too low.

THROUGH SHIPMENTS OF GRAIN
EXPORTS

Trouble has been brought about by the
practice of grain shippers from Chicago
and other western centers of the grain
trade who sell cargoes to European buy
ers and ship on through bills of lading
via New York. The difficulty lies in the
claims made for transfer and port charges
at New York. Neither the railroads,
steamship companies, shippers nor con-
signees can agree as TO the payment of
New York tariffs, and, as consequence,
it is stated that all the trunk lines except
the New YORK Central will refuse to ac-
cept -four and grain for export at New
York on through bills Of Iading to for
eign ports In order to facilitate ship
ments at New York it will be necessary
for western exporters hereafter to pay
some forwarding agency at that port to
attend to the handling and transfer of
shipments
There would be an easy escape out of
this New York snarl if western shippers
should send their European cargoes by
way of the Gulf ports. The way Is open
in that direction and ample facilities are
now afforded at Galveston for taking
care Of all the grain from the transmits
souri, country.

THE ATcHIsoN,s BIG YEAR.

The annual report of the Atchison,

plete ever issued by railroad company.
! The figures given areon gigantic scale.
! To show the yastness of this system ii is

dent of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa

| eightythree distinct corporations.
There are in the Atchison system
proper 1924 miles of track. In the St.

800 miles. The aggregate mileage con-
sequently is 9,33S-by over 2CG0 miles

OF the gross earnings S33. ii37, 1S1 were
from freight and 50, 46J. 2G9 from passen-

gers one mile This was an increase of
300, 305. S44 in freight mileage and de-
crease of POI, 1903 in passenger mileage.
The rate per ton per mile of freight on
the Atchison proper was 1913 cents,
decrease of .046 per cent, due to heavy
carriage of low class freight incident to
the large crop of 1891. The average on

an increase of 001 cent; on the Col

1t was thought by many, Democrats
particularly, that the Cleveland
contest would end with the announce
ment of the result of the recent election,
but it is becoming more and more evil
dent every day that the contest is not
only not ended, but is waxing in in
tensity and increasing in virulence. The
Crisp snub at the club dinner in New
York Saturday night IS unmistakable
proof that the conflict is on, big. The
election of the Georgian to the speaker
ship of the Fifty-second congress was as
much a contest between the Hill and
Cleveland factions as was the issue in
New York as to which should be pre-
sented for the presidential nomination,
and this later slight to the speaker is
readily understood TO mean a continual
ton of the struggle. There are some
big surprises in store for the Democracy
at the hands of Cleveland. He has not

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND RESUB-
MISSION.

The women have organized to secure at
the hands Of the legislature this winter
the submission OF proposition to amend
the constitution so AS TO allow women to
vote at all elections, the same rs men. IL
takes the vote of two-thirds of the mem
bers of each house to submit it. This can
hardly be secured on such question. 1t
Is more than likely, therefore, that the
resuDmlsSioniStS and suffragists Will
combine and put the two propositions be-
fore the people at the same time. Should
they do so, next falls campaign will be
red hot and full of interest.-Emporis
Republican.
There is no sort of doubt, in the
writer's mind, that very large major
ity OF the people of Kansas favor resub-
mitting the prohibition question to a
vote Of the people; but if the leaders in
that movement want to defeat it over
whelmingly, let them enter into such a
combination as that suggested in the
paragraph quoted above, and they will
accomplish it beyond peradventure. If
the woman suffraglsts did rot believe
that the resubmission sentiment in the
state is preponderant they would never
think of hitching their idiosyncrasy onto
it. The proposition should not be given
moments consideration.

Among these objects are number of
pipes and fragments of pipe stone OBJ
tanned from the famous pipe stone quar-
~ in southwest Minnesota, whence the
Indians of North America have got the
materials for their pipes since very an
cient days, long before Columbus land
ed upon this continent. From that
time down to the present the working
of this same mineral deposit has been
kept up continuously, even the savage
Sioux travelling annually two hundred
miles to spend a month at the quarry
For centuries the place was regarded
as sacred and all tribes met there, pre-
serving peace religiously while on the
spot.
For miles around the quarry the
plains are covered with rings which
mark the sites where Indian lodges were
once established. and everywhere are
scattered fragments of pipe stone, rep
resenting the waste of manufacture.
This material seems to have been Sc
lected by the savages because of its
beauty and softness when fresh. The
latter quality renders it easy to carve,
while subsequently it becomes extreme
ly hard. It's color is an exquisite In

pipes is of highly artistic quality. Some
