WHEAT IN CENTRAL KANSAS.

Popeful.

Popeful.
MCPHERSON, April 13.-The condition
of wheat in Mcpherson county is repre-
sentative of the entire central part of the
state. The Daily Republican says of it,:
THAT the prospects for the wheat crop
are not as encouraging as they were d
month ago must be admitted. The dry
windy weather of the past two weeks has
been more or less hurtful. 1t is true,
however. there has seldom been an April
in Kansas that wheat has not been expos
ed to these same dangers and more or
less of it plowed up. The greatest inju-
ry has been done by the wind blowing
the loose soil on the growing wheat. A
yellow color is not a certain sign that
wheat is ruined or will not make a fair
crop. provided we have favorable wealth
err. Millions of wheat would be saved in
Kansas by good general rain at this
time

George Morgan, the young man whose
critical condition from hiccoughs was re-
ported yesterday, is better today.

have not disappeared except for brief
intervals, but they seem less labored and
cause the victim less suffering than yes
terday. DIR. McClintock says the mans
condition is due largely to hysteria
caused by worrying.

A Slow Task

Lieutenant Schwatka, in describing some
of the trees near Sowora, says that the iron
wood looks very much like a fine variety of
the mesquite, the wood of which is beau
tifuI bright cherry red. Its name is deriv-
ed from its hardness and is well deserved.
1t uses up an ak to fell each tree, and as the
quality of different trees is always the same
and that of different axes is not, even this
ratio of one ak to one tree has to be changed
occasionally and always in favor of the tree.
1t is said that tramp who had wandered
into that part of the country, with the usual
appetite of his class, applied for omething
to eat. In reply he was told that if he
would get out certain number of rails for
a fence the proprietor would give him
weeks board.
1t was, as he thought, about a days work
that had been assigned him, and bright and
early the next morning he sailed out with
his ak on his shoulder. Unfortunately the
most tempting tree he met was an iron
wood, and very late in the evening he re-
turned with the ak helve on his arm.
stHow many rails did you split today?"
asked his employer.
Il didn't split any, but hewed out one"
was the reply, and then the tramp resigned
his position--Youth's Companion.

LAWRENCE. April 13.-The council of
the state university have reconsidered
their decision with regard to the recent
baseball announcement. They decided
that the baseball team should be allowed
to play professional teams on the home
grounds, but should not play away from
home.
This decision is considered odd one
and is interpreted as meaning that the
members of the faculty are unable to go
abroad to see the baseball games and
want to get share of all the fun going.

HE HAD A DAY OFF.
All Signs Sometimes Fail.

All Signs Sometimes Fall.
 Tothe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It happened that 8 New Haven young man in his daily rounds found himself in the railroad station. There was 8 brief respite in the usual bustle about, the big ticket window, which opportunity the young man availed himself of, to inter- view the genial philosopher who p-esides thereat. The last ticket purchaser was g characteristic son of the soil, one of the ideal type of old time farmers, with a broad genial face, the very picture of bsnevolence and good nature. The young man mentioned that was plain to see by by the old gentleman's countenance that he was an honest yeoman and indeed, that the farmer was, of all men, most guile less. The ticket man allowed he too had,
 up to few days ago, felt that those who lived close to nature were proverbially hon. est, bat now he had had to revise his opinion and conclude that the agri- culturist was quite as cunning as the rest of mankind and thus explained his change Of ideas in the matter: "The way twas, was this, I got a day off and went out ln the country wave, taking along Clayte Redfeld's fishing rcd. I had been directed in general way to trout stream
 out east of here; I passed two or three
 likely looking brooks but on the banks of
 all of them, there ware posted prominently, the information "No Fishing Here" thought this considerats of the owners to thus inform me and save me the trouble of disappointment in finding out for myself, but as all the streams were thuS marked and the beautiful day but half gone, 1t oc cured to me I would rig up my tackle and have go at It. This I did, and what dc you supposea Why. bless your heart, man in an hours time caught 8 dozen and z half as handsome speckled beauties as you ever laid eyes ou. Now, don't you see those blamed farmers had stuck up those lying notices just to make fellow think there wasn't fin for miles around!"

 NEW YORK; June 11.-Continued liquidation in Sugar. as well as some selling for the short ac count, lower prices from London, the engage ment of $1, ,010, 900 gold for shipment to Europe tomorrow and the reduc ion of the dividend rate of the New Haven company from 10 to sper cent par annum assisted the bears at the Stock Exchange iu bringing about 0 lower range of prices during the early trading.
