A MEMORABLE YEAR.
THE ANNALS OF 1892 GIVEN IN A
NUTSHELL.

Who Year Has Dcen Marked by resceabis
Political Revolutions. Remarkable la
Dor Disturbances. Unusual Disasters
and Notable Anniversary Celebrations.
Tho year 1899 will pass into history as
)no OF the most remarkable In the an.
nails Of the world. There have been wars
and rumors Of wars, faminos, cholera,
yellow fever and labor disturbances,
election contests OF n remarkable char.
acter in England and tho United States,
each resulting In the downfall OF the
hitherto dominant party; n comet has
blazed across the heavens, there have
been star showers, tho presidents wife
has died. and to the president elect has
come the celebration of his daughters
ono year birthday.
Of England and emperor Of tho Indies
died and left q iiancec, who was promptly
betrothcd 10 his brother and successor In
tho royal line. Three great American
millionaircs have gone 10 the grave, and
tho world has sorrowed at the deaths Of
Whittier, Whitman and Tennyson, tho
notable poots of our day.
But turn the shield; shut out the record
Of death, disaster and calamity and view
the brighter side. There you may see
tho bright promise Of prosperity Incl.
dent to good crops and fair prices, the
splendid possibilities of the Worlds fair
at Chicago; tho growing power aud
greatness of tho United States; tho I'D.
vancement In science. invention and the
arts, both liberal mud industrial; the
augmentation Of knowledge; tho In.
crease Of morality and prosperity, and
as we consider the various phases Of the
years record We cannot but admit that
despite all drawbacks 1899 was u twelve.
month in which 1t was well TO live, to
observe, to learn. to suffer and to enjoy.

Thu Yiald of Wheat.

The October returns of the department
OF agriculture show that the yield per
acre Of wheat indicates production OF
about l1.3 bushels, being IL bushels less
than last October's estimate. The rate
Of yield in New York is IA s bushels,
Pennsylvania IA, Ohio, 10, Michigan 10,
Indiana IA 2, Illinois IA. Wisconsin ID 3,
Minnesota 81, Iowa 1l.5, Missouri 9.5.
Kansas 8 A, Nebraska 81, South Dakota
8,6, North Dakota 9.5, California 1.5.
The highest rate is in New England, the
eastern and extreme western and noun
tain states and the lowest in the central,
western and southern states. The small
yield Is the result Of the drought in the
fall which caused poor termination and
growth; the severe winter following
causing considerable winter killing. The
low condition in many states is the re-
suit of the dry spring. The yield would
have been much less had not much
worthless wheat been plowed up and the
ground put in other grains. The quality
in the eastern, southern and Pacific
states is up to the average, while in
many states from which commercial
supplies are obtained it is below the
average.

THE PENALTY OF WRONG.
An Embexxlsr Both Conscience Stricken
and Poverty Stricken.

and Poverty Stricken.
In July, 1886, Almon B. thompson,
cashier Of the Providence Savings Bank
Of st. Louis, after embezzling $4,000
for which he was to account the following
day, robbed the safe of 1900, and fed
to Canada. For seven years he has been
as thoroughly lost to the public as though
in his grave. Thompson's wife and two
daughters shortly disappeared in like
manner. The bank went to pieces and
paid ninety cents on the dollar. The
Thompsons were forgotten until last
week, when the wife entered cult against
the younger brother of Thompson, who
father. By the elder Thompson's will,
the wife of Almon B. was to receive a
legacy. It was to secure this that suit
was brought. On Friday last the where
abouts of the missing Thompsons was
revealed. They were found in two back
rooms Of a shabby boarding house in
New York. Thompson, careworn and
premsturely aged, is book-keeper on
q meager salary. The elder girl il
working for an insurance company, while
the younger is bedfast with a lingering
illness and the mother an invalid
Thompson's story of his wanderings and
sufferings is pathetic. Luck deserted
him from the time he fed from st. Louis
There are no claims or charges against
him there, as everything was righted by
his father. He says he will not return
to st. Louis, where he was once on the
top wave Of the social world, but will
plod on to the grave in the fight with
poverty.

THE STEERING COMMITTEE
The CURTIS TRIAL.
A Charge That the Jury Was Bribsd to
Acquit.

Acqutt.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 1.-The Exam
liner, publishes q statement OF the
charges that have come to light recently
OF the bribery of four jurors in the recent
trial of NJ. B. Curtis, the actor, for the
murder of Police Officer Alexander
Grant, OF this city. The statement is
based principally upon the declaration Of
j. N. E. Wilson. Curtis attorney; and
the men who are accused of trying to get
money from Curtis on the ground that
they paid jurors to vote for his acquittal
are Frank McManus, commonly known
as king McManus," local politician,
and State Senator William j. Dunn. Ac-
cording to Wilson's statement, these men
have, since Curtis acquittal, made sew
ersl efforts to induce Curtis and Mrs.
Curtis to pay them $500, saying that by
an agreement with Curtis by which they
were to receive $4,000 they paid four
jurors $500 to vote for Curtis acquittal.
Thomas NJ. McFarlane and G. g. Coy
are mentioned as two of the Jurors
bribed. Wilson denies there was any
attempt to bride the jurors as far as he
knows, and Curtis, McManus, and Dunn
also deny it. Curtis is now living on his
ranch near Fresno and is guarded by a
deputy sheriff, as the actor has made a
demand upon Sheriff Scott. OF Fresno,
for protection, stating his life had been
threatened by McManus and others,
though he did not say the trouble was
on account of the jury bribing transac-
ton. Attorney Wilson relates an inter-
view he had with McManus and Dunn,
in which he says they tried to get money
from Curtis to bride jurors.
