The Kansas Wheat Crop.

WICHITA, May &C. Wood Davis, the
statistician of food products. is in town
and expressed the opinion that the wheat
crop of Kansas would not exceed 25 per
cent. of an average, Oats he considers in
but little better condition than wheat. He
regards the generally poor prospects for
these crops as blessing, and says that the
failure of wheat and oats, taken in con-
junction with the decreasing proportion of
food products to the number of cOnsum-
ers, forever puts an end to low prices. He
says the man does not live who will ever
again see Scent hogs or 20-cent corn in

CARLYLE HARRIS DOOMED.
But His Brother Seems TO he Hopeful
Sort of Man.

Sort of Man.
SING SING, y. Y, May 6-Allan Harris,
brother of Carlyle W. Harris, the con-
demned murderer. says that he still hopes
to save his brother. This is in spite of the
fact that the governor, after appointing a
lawyer to examine all the new evidence
collected by the defense-some of which
was positive As to the use of morphine by
Helen Potts-Harris, Carlyle's wife-has re-
fused to interfere.
Harris seems calm and says he expects
to be executed next Monday. The prepa-
rations being made by the warden point to
Monday as the day upon which Harris will
pay the penalty for his crime His guards
say he seems to accept his fate in the spirit
of philosopher. He appeared to be more
at ease than at any time since the taking
of testimony in his behalf begun.

DENIsoN, Tex, May 6.-An application

Hogg by Charles Luttrell, who is to hang

Luttrell has made startling statement in
regard to the terrible butchery of women
here last spring that will probably secure
him a pardon or communication of sentence
to life imprisonment. 1t is alleged that
Luttrell confessed that since 1878, Colonel
Brown, John Carlisle and friends had
killed PAS men in order to destroy
testimony against them in murder cases.
In 1873 James Brown killed a stableman,
John Carlisle was induced to kill another
man named Sparks, and Tom Shannon,
their latest victim was an eye witness to
both.
Recalls n Chicago Tragedy.
There were many other eye witnesses,
and Brown and Carlisle being wealthy
started in to kill evidence against them,
and Luttrell's confession is but glimpse
of the awful reality of the unparalleled
series of crimes that cost PAS men their
lives and the perpetrators thousands of dol
lars Luttrell would not give the names
of the victims, but claims that if afforded
protection he will tell enough to satisfy the
authorities that his story is true. Colonel
Brown shot and killed two police officers at
Garfield park in Chicago about year ago.

wiped the Peoples party out of ex-
istence in Kansas by burying it un-

NUMBER 3S.
Canning sweet Potatoes.

One Of the experts Of the agricul-
tural department has determined that
Che actual nutritive value of SO or 81
worth of canned vegetables is no
greater than that of 10 or Is cents
worth of Hour or meal. Yet people
even of an economical turn and with
these facts before them will buy can
ned goods by the million cans yearly.
Yes, even sweet potatoes if preserved
with their natural flavor could be
sold by the million cans, for this veg
etable is considered a luxury by a ma
iority OF people Of the United States.
We referred some time ago to the
canning of sweet potatoes at Macon,
Ga. The Macon Telegraph recently
had the following on the subject
"While not entirely new, the canned
sweet potato is somewhat novelty
in Georgia, and it will be news to the
people of Macon to know that in fu.
ture all potatoes grown in this Sec
tion and not sold in the market can
be sold to the canning factories to be
converted into canned goods.
"Only one canning factory in the
United States-situated in New Jer-
scy--has successfully canned the
sweet potato, though very numerous
experiments have been made.
Mr.. n. S. Cutler has just finished a
series Of experiments, and, after try
ing four processes, has finally sue
ceeded IN making the sweet potato an
article as palatable in the can as out
of it.
The sweet potato has never been
canned in Georgia. Mr.. Cutler lie.
clined to give the whole process to
the public, because that is Il trade Sc
crct, and lots of people would give
their heads to know how to do the
work and do it well.
The sample can shown to the Tele-
graph contained two pounds Of as
nice sweet potato as any hungry
Georgians need wish to eat, and Mr..
Cutler was justly proud, for he had
given the can fair test, having kept
it in different temperatures for the
last three weeks.
The potatoes are first steamed un-
til the skin will Slip, and are then
and there put through the process.
81 employ about twenty-five hands
but when | begin on the sweet pota
! toes | will give employment to a very
large number of people. l will rur
all winter, and expect to be able tt
use from l00to 125 bushels of potatoes
every day.

The Orange,

Some centuries ago, there's nc tell
ing how many, the orange was little
insignificant fruit, about the size OF
cherry, and consisting mostly OF
seeds. 1t has been brought to its
present development by careful culti-
vation and selection. The bigger
part of this work was done by the
people of the East, though those OF
southern Europe have done their full
share. 1t was first brought to Europe
by the crusaders and the Moors, but
for hundreds of years the Christians
looked upon it with suspicion, bellev.
ing that eating itwould make the eater
become a Mohametan in spite of him
self. The Spaniards and Italians
first began the earnest cultivation O
the orange about the time of the dis
covery of America. 1t takes its nam'
from the Latin aurum-gold.
