PARIS, June 16.-The court of casa
ton handed down its decision to-day
on the appeal of Charles de Lesseps

Louis hospital suffering with an acute
attack of dyspepsia, was informed that
he was at liberty, but he was too i'll to

CHICAGO, June 1S.-"German day'
appears to have started boom at the
White City. The reaction which usa.
ally sets in the day following a big
event did not occur. While the
attendance was not as large as that
of yesterday it was above the
average. Visitors began coming
early and at noon it was estimated that
100, 900 people had passed through the
turnstiles, and the officials of the
bureau of admission estimate that
the total attendance for the day will
be $4,000.
Many excursionists who took adj
vantage Of the reduced railway rates
on account of German day are still in
the city, and throughout the day there
was steady click at the turnstiles.
There was no special celebration al
the fair except that the Illinois Press
association held reception in the Hi.
nois building.
The crowd was bent on sightseeing,
and in this respect it differed from that
of Thursday, who were on a holiday
jaunt
The board of admissions gave out the
official figures of the attendance al

Centennial exposition the attendance
was so, 099.

true there have been some hot winds in the
spring wheat areas and 1t is getting dry again

there is much that encourages and little that
discourages So far this has been great
month for the corn crop II is great thing to
have good start and good stand
Southern Illinois reports that the corn crop
is looking well; in fact they are having perfect
weather for it-warm and rather dry-and
farmers are cultivating. In central Illinois the
early corn is from TO Il inches high There
seems to be considerable old corn left in north.
ern and central Illinois Oats have made rapid
growth-are just beginning TO show their heads
In Indiana the first planted corn has all been
plowed once. Oats are doing well, as they have
had plenty Of rain. The corn fields are clean
and the ground in excellent condition
Ohio reports that corn is late but is picking
up rapidly. Most Of II is large enough TO work
and fields are clean. Oats are backward on &C
count OF wet weather, but the early sown oats
are growing rapidly and thick on the ground
Michigan reports that corn Is promising, far
ahead of last year at this time Oats are max
ing good growth and there is plenty Of moist
ure on the ground
In southern Kansas some Of the corn has been
plOwed over three times. Oats are improving,

cutting wheat next week Farmers will prob
ably sell freely, irrespective OF price
