WINTER WHEAT.
Condition of the Crop In Many Wheat
Growing States.

condition OF the Crop In Many Whea,
Growing States.
Reports from the principal wheat.
growing States in the West, as gath.
cred by the Farmers Revlew, show
that the crop is at that stage when not
much can be told by appearances, but a
lew weeks will show the true situation.
In Illinois the appearances are de-
cldediy against a full crop, but 1t is
PROBABLE that few weeks will improve
the outlook. At present on many fields
the tops OF the wheat plants have been
killed, but the roots seem TO be all
right In Indiana the general condi-
tion is reported as fair, which means a
little below an average. In Ohio the
present condition is much ahead of
that In Illinois and Indiana. More
than half OF the correspondents report
the outlook as good and that the crop
appears to have come through the
NDintar In arA -L@r~- Mas4 OF tha oth
ers report fair. In Michigan the condi-
ton Is similar to that in Ohio, half of
tne counties reporting the outlook as
good. In some localities the wheat Is
still covered with snow. In a few To-
calities 1t is believed that the wheat has
been greatly injured, but there Is no
certainty OF this, as the ice still re-
mains. In other localities the snow is
rapidly disappearing and wheat looks
quite as well as 1t did last fall. In
few counties it is small from the ef-
fects OF the fly and drouth. On low
ground some wheat is known 10 have
been smothered out by Ice. In Ken
lucky the general condition Is fair. It
has been damaged in some counties by |
freez ng and thawing. and has been |
lifted out Of the ground, but is again |
taking root and promising q fair crop. |
In Missouri the condition is hardly fair.
only one-fourth report the condition as
full average. Some correspondents
report the wheat frozen out In places
and that the fields will have to be plowed
up. In some Of the fields the crop cam
lot be over one-half the average. Gen.
'rally speaking the early sown fields
ire good. Late sown fields are of
oubtful condition. In Kansas and
,ebraska the condition is fair to good.
me plant in some counties is starting
grow and has good color at the
oo.s. In Iowa the condition is nearly
n average. Snow is. going rapidly. In
Wisconsin the snow came early and
ept the plant covered all winter. In
ome places where the snow has melted
le condition appears to be fair.

A Pugilistic Encounter.


Lincoln, Neb., special The Ne
brasha Legislature has given evidence
OF its ability to furnish sensations and
many hostile meeting, but the first
actual knock-down and drag-out Of the
session occurred Thursday, when Re-
preventative Sheridan, OF Red Willow
County, took 1t upon himself to chastise
Editor Il. Rosewater, of the Omaha
bee. The Bee has been criticisin0
Sheridan, who is Populist member.
The two men met in the corridor Just
outside Representative Hall and the
editor was taken to task by the law
maker. Following a heated argument
Sheridan struck Rosewater In the breast
and followed 1t up with vigorous shak-
ing. Z. +. Roggen, ex-Secretary OF
Scato, an employe OF Rosewater In the
bee ofice, who was in the corridor, ran
up to the combattants and struck Sheri-
Dan singing blow on the forehead. 1t
brought blood, but apparently did not
feaze the belligerent lawmaker, for his
right hand went out like fash, caught
hoggen full on the jaw and he went
down In heap. Not satisfied with this,
Sheridan pounced on him and began be-
laboring him vigorously in the face.
News OF the conflict reached the
hou; o and the members rushed out pell-
nell. without the formality OF an ad-
1ournment- Half o dozen pulled Sheri-
dan on his foe and helped Roggen to his
leet. The latter, the blood streaming
from his nose and mouth, jerked away
from the men holding him and reached |
Tor his hip pocket. Sheridan, divining
that he was searching for a weapon, |
again sprang toward him, but was held |
back, and the two men were taken to |
separate rooms and locked up. The |
men are well matched physically, both
weighing over 200 pounds.

In prison for several months for con-

OF his daughter, who had died at a In
natic asylum, to which she had been
driven by the imprisonment of her
iather. Before he could arrange for

expected TO recover from the shock
caused by the death OF the daughter
under such cruel circumstances. And

10 which the bonds were delivered did
not complete the line, and the counties
repudiated the debt, interest on which
had been piling up ever since abont
1870. The bondholders obtained iudo-
