QUE 81. LOUIS LETTER..

A Medical Library on a New Plan-A Novel
Electric Road.
ST.. LOUIS, August 8.-Librarians in other
cities would stare with envy could they see
the list of books which the public library
will carry into its new quarters in the Poly
technic building, when it Is finished. When
the new library was first proposed, Librarian
Fred NJ. Crunden had an idea by which he
thought he could get for the library the most
complete medical library in the country. He
offered all the medical societies of the city
the privileges of the library for their men,
bers on condition that they turned over to
him all their books to go into the cases as
the property of the library. Each of the
societies had an immense number of Valua-
BILE books, which were poorly cared for, and
they jumped at this chance, as Mr.. Crunden
thought they would. Medical books are
very costly, as every young doctor who tries
to buy them knows, and the lot that Mr..
Crunden has thus obtained could not be
duplicated for hundred thousand dollars.
The proposed belt line around Forest Park
Is meeting with favor. The board of public
improvements has to decide whether or not
it shall be, and all of the members of the
body want it. The only question is as to the
company that shall have the franchise. It is
suggested to dispose of the obstacle, that
the right to build the line be sold by the city
at auction 1t would bring several hundred
thousand doDNrs, no doubt There are

business Checked by Fun.

TOPEKA, August flowing to the use of
all available engines is running passenger
trains to the Denver conclave, a serious clog
has resulted to the new grain in transit.
Tom Dick of the Capital elevator
says that every one of the twenty-six buying
stations controlled by his elevator are now
overloaded with wheat, as we'll as all cars
that can be obtained, and no more wheat
can be purchased until this is moved. At
the elevator in North Topeka the switches
are full of loaded cars waiting for engines to
haul them. Mr.. Dick telegraphed to Super
intendent Brinkerhoff of the Union Pacific,
informing him of the situation, and that
official replied that no relief could come IN
til after the Denver picnic was over.

Grand Master Goblin vetoes the Drill.

There was no competitive drill at Denver
because Grand Master Goblin thought it
would not be the proper thing. An exhibit
ton drill was held, however, at River Front
park, and ten thousand people witnessed it.
There was some disappointment because on
~ three commandries appeared to take part.
Notice is officially announced that California,
No and st. Bernard's COMMANDERS will
be presented with the silver bricks by the
Chamber of Commerce. These are the
prizes which were to have been given to the
best drilled corps, had the competitive drill
been allowed to proceed.

wEATHER-CROP BULLETIN

OF the Kansas Weather Service, Issued in
Cooperation With the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture, for the Week Ending
August 8, 1892.
PRECIPITATION.
The rainfall is about normal IN Phillips
and Norton counties, but over the rest of the
state it is practically MI, being confined to
light local showers. Atchison reports .33
inches, Kiowa 81, Colby .12, Minneapolis
10, and Abilene and Sedan .04 each.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
The temperature has been excessive through
degrees from the normal at the central sta
ton. The maximum reached at Manhattan
was los; at Offerle, Edwards county, 106; at
Oswego, los; at Abilene, 100; and at the cen
tral station, SO. The week has given more
than the average amount of sunshine over
the greater part of the state.
RESULTS.
Corn is rapidly pushing forward, and in
some localities the early planted fields are
nearly past the need of rain. Over the
greater portion of the state no serious dam
age has yet been done by the absence of rain,
lures and fodder crops, and good rains would
now be beneficial IN all localities.
Threshing is rapidly progressing, and hay
ing Is in full blast. the weather being favor
able for securing the crop in good condition.
Flowing for wheat has begun in many
localities, but retarded by the heat and
unfayorsble condition of the soil.

S1ohler's Correspondence summarized.


Secretary Mohler of the state board of
agriculture has issued his crop report for
July. The Official returns of the state make
the areas of these crops for tins year respec-
lively as follows;
Wheat-The winter wheat area Of Kansas
this year Is :, S0S, 791 acres, an increase of
226, 785 acres or 6-33 per cent. The spring
wheat area Is 800. S73 acres, an increase OF
1883 acres of 1O.4 per cent.
Corn-The corn area Is 8, 1894, 807 acres, an
increase of 3S5,373 acres or IA per cent.
Oats-The area sown to oats last spring as
returned is 1913 1877 acres, an increase of
1854 o2 acres or 24.26 per cent.
The yield of wheat so far as threshing has
been done indicates that the estimate per
acre in the eastern belt as represented a
bly, not be raised.
Including spring wheat, the total aggre-
gate wheat product of the state will reach
65, O00, 900 bushels and probably more
About IS per cent OF the wheat of the
state is reported in the stack August I, and
the entire crop of the state is saved in excel
lent condition, and the quality as reported
by thresher and miller is very superior.
Oats = Our correspondents estimate an
average yield of oats per acre for the state
of 25.3 bushels, which on the acreage re-
ported gives a total oats product for the state
of 1887, SIS bushels.
CONDITION OF THE CORN.
The north half of the eastern belt reports
the condition of corn July 81, 81 per cent.
The south half, 80 per cent.
The north half of the central belt reports
the condition of corn, Y per cent. The
south half, 71.5 per cent.
The north half of the western belt reports
the condition of corn. 500 Per cent. The
south half at 65 per cent.
The area planted 10 corn in the eastern
belt as reported is :, 917, 1853 acres.
The area planted to corn in the central
belt is returned is Z, 800, 800 acres. The area
of corn as reported for the western belt is
355, 64S acres, of which 295, 874 acres are IN
the north half of the belt and 59,774 in the
south half The condition of corn for the
entire state as reported IS a per cent of a
full average, or a loss of four points since
the report of month ago. With the ex-
ception of the southwest portion of the
state, embracing eighteen or twenty coun-
ties IN which the corn area is very small, the
corn condition of the state is fairly good
in some counties 1t is eXcellent-and since
the fields are generally well cultivated and
clean of weeds, with favorable conditions
from this the outlook is good for q fair
average crop.

THE TROPICAL DAUGHTER.

10 the home of his father returning,
The prodigal weary and worn,
is welcomed with JOY and thanksgiving,
As when on his first natal morn.
A robe and ring are his portion,
And servants as suppliants bow,
He is clad in fine linen and purple
In return for his penitent vow.
But alas for the prodigal daughter,
Who has wandered away from her home:
Her feet must still press the dark valley,
And through the wild wilderness roam.
Alone on the bleak, barren mountain,
The mountain so dismal and cold;
NO hand Is outstretched in fond pity,
To welcome her back to the fold.
But thanks to the Shepherd whose mercy,
Still follows His sheep though they stray,
The weakest and cen the forsaken
He bears in HIS bosom Away.
And in the bright mansions OF glory,
BY the blood of His sacrifice won
There is room for the prodigal daughter,
AS well as the prodigal son.
