A dozen or more Indians of the Sac and

route to Preston, Neb, spent Tuesday
night at the Atchison, Kan, Union depot.

cts and slept al! night on the floor in a
corner Of the Union depot. When they got
up next morning the men sought a
joint and one OF the fellows became quite
drunk and busted himself for some time
giving war whOops aud trying to give a
war dance Officer Reed took him in

NJ Collar, in charge of the signal
service and the agricultural weather
bureau in Guthrie, furnishes Il conclusion
respecting crops in Oklahoma, based on
the rainfall in December of each year,
that seems correct. The rainfall for the
month of December 1889. was .05 of an
inch; for 1890, 1.23 inches and for 1891,
267. 1t will be remembered that the
crops the following seasons of the two
first periods were poor, while that follow
ing the last, or the season of 1892, was
good, Mr.. Collar states that following
that conclusion, next seasons crops are
assured, as the rainfall SO far this month
alone, or up to noon yesterday. is ? 05.
The normal rainfall for three years for
the month of December being 60, il will
be seen that We have already this month
passed that period aud have no need to
fear crop failure next season on account
of lack of rainfall now, whatever
other causes may come in the future to
knock" US.
The long looked for location of a flour
ing mill and elevator in Ell Reno has at

Kan, as secretary and treasurer. The
Eagle says the latter named gentleman is
now in the city experimenting the con
struction of the mill which will be OF 80
barrels capacity, and an elevator of 10000
bushels capacity. The plant is located on
the Rock Island right of way just south OF
the depot and the work OF construction
will be completed within ninety days,
when the mill will begin grinding the
golden grain OF Canadian county TO the
great convenience of the farmers OF
that vicinity and the general welfare
of the city. The elevator will be COM
pleted within five or six weeks when the
farmers will find ready market for all
their grain. This is an enterprise FL Reno
has needed for long time and she is en-
titled TO rejoice in acquiring so valuable
an adjunct TO the various commercial in
terests of the city.
