THE HARPER BOND TROUBLE

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
ANTHONY, Kan, Aug. 2.-Commissioner
Anon Farmer, who WAS kidnapped yester-
showed up this morning at the court house
and took part in the meeting of the com.
missioners today. Mr. Farmer states, re-
garding the kidnapping, that at about 3
O'Clock yesterday morning he was taken
from his home by five masked men. After
being overpowered, tied and blindfolded,
he was placed IN a carriage and driven
away. About daylight be was placed in a
storm cave, and there was restored to the
light and liberty of the cave. but was
curely locked up. His meals were brought
to him. Last night about midnight he
was again blindfolded, taken from the
cave and released near his home
Mr.. Farmer thinks that be would still
be in the custody of the maskers had they
succeeded in securing Commissioner Ter
relL. He further states that all the COM
missioners may yet be kidnapped if it is I'M
derstood that the tax levy Is going to be
made to pay the fraudulent bonds The
commissioners met the bondholders in
Kansas City last week and made them
compromise offe:; but the bondholders re-
fused 10 accept their terms of settlement
They then made the commissioners an
offer of terms Of settlement in writing, and
gave them thirty days to accept. The tax
payers are not satisfied with the offer, and,
no doubt, will in some way prevent the
levy, unless better terms of settlement can
be agreed upon.

MISSOURI CROPS

weather crop bulletin says:
The week just passed was hardly as
favorable 10 the agricultural interests as
was the two preceding weeks, the first half
being unusually dry and hot and the last
few days the opposite, extremely cool and
cloudy, and, consequently, detrimental TO
harvest work and the growing crops. The
average temperature was above the nor
mai, except III the extreme southwest
counties. The rain fall was generally in
sufficient, being confined to showers which
were so excessive IN spots rs to be damag-
lug. The only rain partaking of anything
like general character WAS on the PSI b,
and that was accompanied by a wind
storm, the damaging effects of which
equalled the beneficial influence of the
rain.
The oats and hay harvest is finished
except in the northern counties, and stack
ing and threshing are i'll progress. The
wheat yield Is somewhat below the aver
age as regards quantity, but that which
was not injured by rain during the harvest
Is OF superior quality. Oats are "A poor

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2-Three white
men-Fred Burnes, John Palseford and a
man known only as "Frenchy"-have
been left to spend an Arctic winter on a
desolate island, with scauty provisions
aud without fuel. Just year ago these
men were put ashore on St. Matt hew's
island. far up in Bering sea, from the seal
ing schooner Matte T. Dyer of San Fran
cisco They were assisted in building a
rude hut and were given supply of food
and wood and seventy pounds of powder.
The plan was for them to hunt and skin
polar bears and keep the pelts until this
season, when the Dyer was to remove
them. The schooner arrived here yester-
day without the three hunters. Captain
Mack stated that he dared not venture
into Bering sea, for fear of seizure, and
had been unable to make provision for the
relief of the men on the island. Unless
revenue cutter Or cruiser takes Oft the
men, they must remain for another season.
Two parties of Indian hunters left there
in previous seasons under similar con-
ditions were devoured by polar bears.
