A Bad Wreck.

One of the most horrible wrecks in
the history of railroading occurred on
the Big Four road at Lafayette, Ind,
at l IL o'clock Sunday morning, as a
result of which ten men were killed
outright, and many more injured.
The train was the eastbound passen-
ger leaving Chicago at 8 p. M. The
accident was caused by the failure OF
the air brakes to work, The engi-
neer undoubtedly discovered this
before reaching the cut beyond the
Wabash river, as vigorous whistles OF
the engine for brakes could be heard
when the train was a mile west of the
city. The engineers desperate efforts
to stop the train was shown by the
amount of sand thrown by him on the
bridge over which the train came just
before the fatal crash at a speed otnot
much less than sixty miles an
hour, crashing into the depot
and train sheds. The engine, when it
left the track, followed by baggage
car, two postal cars and an express
car, and piled in one promiscuous
mass, total and complete wreck.
Michael WEIGH, the engineer, was
found among the dead frightfully
crushed and limbs torn from the body.

The outlook for the hog product is
certainly very fiattering. The prices
are very high now, and reports from
all parts of the State go to show that
there is great scarcity hogs. I tried
in my reports last fall to show to the
farmer that there was shortage in
hogs, not only in our State but in the
United States. Mr.. Henry A. Robin
son, the United States statistician,
says in his April report, "many re-
ports from all the hog-raising States
report that the high prices of pork,
seconded in many cases by scarcit Y,
and comparatively high prices of grain
for feeding resulted in causing farmers
to sell off their hogs very closely
Brood sows being in many cases fat
tened for market. The result is
present scarcity of porcine stock in
many localities, very active and gen.
erol demand for sows to raise for
breed purposes" In reading Mr.
Robinson's report, 1 find that he bases
his statement of the shortage of the
crop from reports from Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska, and also Minnesota and Iowa.
The number, as compared TO former
years, is 70 percent. .

FRUIT.
The report as to the fruit crop is
very varied. will quote two reports
from the same county. First, the
frost on the night of the 23d killed
peaches, pears, plums, and damaged
the apples considerably; has also
damaged the forward wheat, but to
what extent can not be determined.

Our fruit crop is safe at this writing.

MONTHLY CROP REPORT
or Commissioner of Agriculture
Labor and Statistics.
FRANKFORT, KY, May l, 1893,

rhANhFOhT, NY, may L, 1919.
The condition of the weather the
last DAYS of March and the first part
of April made the farmers anticipate
an early spring. They took advan-
tage oft, and were we'll advanced
until the commencement of the cold,
wet weather, which has retarded all
farm work and vegetation of all kinds
Timothy, clover and all grasses were
looking unusually well. The cores
pondents nearly all report good
prospect for wheat. A large part of
their reports were returned to me by
the 25th Of April. Since that time
we have been visited by very severe
frosts, and in many places the ground
was considerably frozen, and some of
correspondents from the southern part
of the State are very apprehensive
that the early -sown wheat will be in
Ijured.
The government report for wheat
Is not very flattering. The per cent

.... CORN.
Farmers very generally are delayed
with their corn. A great many plant
ed part of their crop the first part of
April, and were stopped by the wet
weather, and have been unable to
plant since, and from resume of all
reports, the crop is not half planted.
The early planted corn was all cut
down by the frost, and some farmers
are thinking of blowing up and re-
planting. My advice would be to
wait for few warm, sunshiny DAYS.
The average acreage is placed at 50
per cent.
The season for sowing oats was
good, and it was put in in good time.

TOBACCO.
Nothing very definite can be stated
as to the tobacco crop as yet. The
season makes the acreage somewhat

outlook is for a large crop, Plants

farmers are ready to set them the esti-
mated acreage is 100 per cent.
SHEEP AND LAMBS.
The comparative condition of sheep
in the State is good; very little
disease; the per cent is 81. The COM

large as was anticipated, nor the price

Invasion of the Outlet,

GUTHRIE, o. T., March 1.-THE Cherokee
"trip is being invaded by the boomers. Hun
dreds of them were seen there, encamped
along the line of the Santa Fe road. A troo1
of cavalry have been stationed about twelve
miles sonth of Arkansas City. The movers
are halted at this point and ordered to move
on. The grass through the strip has been
burned and hardships to the settlers with
sheir stock is apparent,
There is every evidence that an invasion
of the Cherokee outlet is threatened and the
soldiers will not be able to keep the home
seekers out. Men, with their wives and
children, with some stock, intend to invade
the promised land, and from indications it
seems that if the land is not thrown open to
settlement trouble is inevitable.
Captain Bishop, who reached Caldwell
with four troops of the Fifth cavalry, re-
ceived orders from headquarters to clear the
strip of all intruders. He left Caldwell with
his command for the southern border of the
strip, where it is reported boomers are cross
ing over in considerable numbers 1t is said
that as soon as the troops are out of the way
the boomers who have congregated on the
Kansas border will make a break for the
coveted lands.

UnuIndInR Red Tame,

WASHINGTON, d. C. March 16.-Secretary
Smith received telegram from Arkansas
City, Kan, signed BY delegation represent
ing the home seekers on the border of the
Cherokee strip, strongly urging that the
strip be opened to settlement at the earliest
possible moment, and stating that great des-
titution existed among those people. A tele-
gram was also received from one of the
Oklahoma cities, asking whether the people
gong south would be permitted to cross the
strip. To the first telegram the secretary
replied that it was impossible at this time to
say when the strip would be opened, because
certain prcliminsries required by the act,
providing for the opening of the strip, must
first be complied with, that the president
appreciated tho situation and sympathized
with the people. but they must wait in pa
thence until executive action opening the
strip could be had.
To the second telegram the secretary re-
Piled in effect that no person seeking to
settle on the strip would be allowed to en-
ter or cross until the presidents proclana-
ton was issued, but that persons engaged
in legitimate business could pass through
on open highways; but of the legitimacy
of this business the officer in command Of
troops would have to Judge.

Montana's Hugo Silver Statue.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 2l.-The largest
silver statue ever known since the world
began has been cast. Sixteen hundred
pounds of sterling silver were poured into
huge mold and Montana's silver statue
of justice was an established fact. The
total cost of the statue is stated to be $780,
600. It is the figure of Miss Ada Rehan and
the features are hers also. though the ex-
preston has been made rather moro severe
than Miss Rehan is wont to wear, in order
to carry out the idea of justice. The height
of the statue is five feet ten inches, and it
will stand upon silver globe two feet in
diameter. Scales are to be held in one hand
and sword, which will be grasped IN the
other will be- separately cast, but every part
of the statue will be sterling silver. The
metal comes from Montana, every ounce
having been extracted from native ore in
the various smelling works of the state.
