KANSAS CROP REPORTS.
The Prospect for Wheat Fairly Good, Eut
VIII BE Late.


VIII BE Late.
TOPEKA, Kans., June 2.-The Kansas
Farmer publishes crop reports from its
correspondents throughout the state.
They indicate a wheat acreage about
equal to that of last year. The condition
OF the wheat crop has improved generally
since the last report. Very few counties
report insects Of any kind. In some
counties the wheat on bottom lands has
suffered from washing out by floods, but
In general the damage to this crop by the
excessive rains has been less than was to
be expected.
The harvest will be later than usual,
but unless some injury not yet developed
comes upon the wheat the prospect Is
that fairly good crop will be harvested.
Harvest will begin in the southern coun-
ties about June 20. The acreage OF oats
is rather lighter than heretofore on ac-
count of lateness of the season and exces-
sive rains. This crop is, however, in
good condition. Corn Is very backward
on account of cool, wet weather, but the
acreage will be larger than usual.

The Work of Evangelist Fife.

Evangelist Fife closed on last Fri =.
day his revival meetings in Goldsbo-
no. They resulted in about fye-hun-
dred professions of faith in Christ,
which includes members of all class
es of society from the highest to the
lowest. Among the converted were
four bar tenders and seven fallen
women. The latter have been taken
in charge by the Christian women
who will see that they are provided
for and found good homes. For the
last week of the meeting the bust
ness houses of the city closed daily
during the hours of services, and for
the last two days so great was the
interest in the meetings, that even
the banks closed, something never
before known in that city. 1t was
especially noticeable in the closing
exercises the unanimity of the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Fife and his work
by the ministers of the various de-
nominations who had aided Mr.. Fife
In the meetings, some of whom made
special mention of the way Mr.. Fife
honored the word of God and that it
had taught them a well deserved
lesson, and that in the future they
would honor the word themselves in
their preaching more than they ever
did before.

Sympathy for Mr.. Blaine.

There has been much sympathy ex-
pressed for Mr. Blaine on account of
the manner in which he was treated
by his protested friends at Minneapo-
lis. The white plume has gone down
in the dust forever. The torn and
tattered banner of Blaine which has
so proudly shaken it's folds over so
many national conventions of the
republican party has been furled and
must be put away. 1t is a sad end
Jig of life of sublime audacity and
boundless ambition. The sting to
the victim must be deeper and more
piercing in the consciousness that
the moral blow was at last dealt in
the house of his protested friends.
Had he gone down in a fair hand-to-
hand combat, with the forces which
trained under him fighting faithfully
behind, disappointment, of course,
would have come, but not the bitter
humiliation and modification caused
by heartlesS deSertiOn.

will be allowed to "fall in ranks" on
this. occasion. The company ought
to go fifty men strong.
