Thomas III. Carter of Helena, Mon
tana, was made chairman of the re-
publican national committee, in the
place of Mr.. Campbell, resigned. AL
though we'll known to the republican
leaders for some years past, the new
chairman was not widely known to
the people previous to the Minneapo-
lis convention, but his mastery work
there gave him at once nationalrep-
utation as a shrewd political manipu-
lator. and caused ex-Chairman Clark
son, against whose candidate Carter
was working, to say that he was the
shrewdest politician of his age in the
country. He is at present commits
sioner of the general land Office, and
so well has he administered its affairs
that in the debate of the senate, re-
Gently, he has been commended high
ly by prominent democratic as well
as republican senators. He will re-
sign and give his whole attention to
the campaign.

CROP OUTLOOK.

The report of the statisJician Of the
agricultural department gives the
comparative acreage of corn, winter
and spring wheat, oats, rye, barley,
potatoes, tobacco, the grasses, fruits
and other minor crops. The July re-
turns show the acreage OF corn, as
compared with the actual area OF last
year, to be 95.6 per cent. The reduc-
ton of area is not equally distributed,
being mostly confined to the great
producing regions of the country.
This decrease, the report says, has
been considerably offset by the in
creased acreage in the South, where
during the last year eleven cotton
states have given considerable land
to the cultivation of corn. The con-
dition of the crop (81.1 per cent? is the
lowest July average ever reported by
the department.
The condition of wheat is very ia
vorable, there being only slight de-
cline in several of the minor prOduc-
| ING states. The condition Of oats, 81 2
per cent, is the lowest July condition,
however, is slightly below that of
1891. Barley has changed but little
during the month, but the average re-
ported is the highest ever known in
July since 1885.
The acreage of potatoes is very low,
there being a decrease in the largest
yielding states. The early appearance
of the potato bug has ruined many
crops. This month, the report con-
tinues, is generally the largest yield
ing one of the year. The returns from
tobacco, although very favorable, are
smaller than for the corresponding
month last year.

hours and a half late into the station,
and proceeded to the discharge of
freight in the usual manner-that is,
by standing on the main track without
the precaution of rear and forward sip-
nails. The first section of the through
stock train, No. "A, was due, but the

hour. In the caboose of the local
freight were ten or twelve section men
going to their work, and also one trav-
cling man. Several others were max
ing their way TO board the same train,
and thus narrowly escaped.
The dead as they were taken from
the wreck and carried to the platform
presented a fearful spectacle. Some
were literally cut and ground to pieces,
others with great holes bored through
their bodies, while one mans heart
was exposed. Citizens assisted in the
work of rescue, but many were too
faint hearted and had to give it up.
Eleven employees from both trains
are under arrest, and will be held pend
ing the investigation by the coroner's

volume Of business continues larger than year

is ample for all legitimate needs. Gold exports
have ceased. foreign exchange has declined and

INDEPENDENCE, Ia, Sept. 23-John

made final stab at the bicyclist mile
record from a flying start Thurday.
His own time of 2-O4 As standing start
was the speediest previously recorded
but Thursdays mile is almost beyond
belief. He went the distance in 1:56 So.
1t is authentic, being timed by seven
timers, judges and referees. The time
by the quarters was :294, $3.50, 1:2s]5,
1:56 3-5.
AS in his previous mile, he started Il
feet back of the wire, to comply with
League of American Wheelmen rules,

ners accompany him, each going
one-half mile. Uncle Henry was
the horse selected for the first hall
of the journey. They flew to the
first quarter in :294, and reached the
half-miie in $3.50 seconds. Here Ne6
Gordon joined the bicyclist, and to
gether they finished the most wonder
full mile ever yet ridden. The third
quarter was passed in 1:2S1{. Here the
whip was vigorously applied to Gordon
and the mile was completed in the
phenomenal time of 1850 3-5.
