Rains Have Fallen Which Will Do
Immense Good.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 31.-The Illt-
nois weekly crop bulletin, issued today,
says: Rains which appear to have been
well distributed fell over the greater portion
of the state the 2Sth and 10Th, many
sections receiving rain for the first tire in
several weeks. These rains will be of i'm
mense benefit to corn and pastures. The
drouth still continues in the northeast and
extreme southern counties. Considerable
damage was done in some sections 20 crops
by hail and high winds on the 18th, 9th
and 18th. Corn up to about ten days ago
promised more than the average crop, but
the continued drouth and hot dry winds
have damaged it to such an extent that it
will be less than an average yield, espe
cially where rain fell the 10Th and
goth. Corn has been injured from % to 80
per cent In the central division owing to
the rains of the preceding week, corn is in
much better condition, while in the south
ern division the conditions are similar to
those in the northern counties. The princi-
pal damage appears to be done to upland
corn which is reported badly fired, and in
some localities injured past recovery.
Chinch bugs have also badly injured the
crops in many sections. Corn on the bot
toms is reported generally in fairly good
condition, with prospects of an average
yield. Pastures generally are reported in
poor condition and many farmers are
obliged to feed stock. Threshing of wheat
and oats is still in progress. Late potatoes
are badly injured but recent rains may
greatly benefit them.

The Past Week Was the Worst of tn,
SensOn.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, July 31.-The Iowa
crop bulletin, issued today, says: The past
week has been the worst of the season.
The daily temperature averaged seven de-
grees above the normal. On the seth the
temperature ranged from 100 to 107 with
winds 20 to 50 miles an hour. 1t was the
severest in effect upon vegetation ever
known in Iowa. Light showers are reported
along the eastern border and at a few To-
Calties in the interior affording temporary
relief in checking the process of desication
Variable reports are received as to the
effects of the drouth and hot winds upon
corn In the central and southern portion
districts the damage is much greater than
In the northern belt. The concensus of
opinion seems to be that about one-fourth
of the acreage planted will yield no corn
and but little fodder. With speedy and sub
stantial relief the state at large may posi-
bly, harvest one-half an average crop, but
every days continuance of present con-
ditions will lower the possibilities and re-
duce the output. Pastures are dry and
feeding stock is now general. Late sown
millet has not sprouted. Potatoes and flax
are greatly damaged. Threshing returns
show much better yields of rye wheat.
oats and barley than was expected. Heavy
showers are reported at points in Western
Iowa this morning.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
An Increase Of a63,9O5 for the Month
of .lulY.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug 1.-The regu-
lar monthly statement of the public debt

debts on July 81, 1894, was 81 ,633, 8O6, 24O as
against 1852, 253, 636 June 3d. 1894 This
apparent increase of $1,552, 6O4 in the public

BOEN'S FINANCIAL IDEAS.
They Take Form in the Nature OF
Two Bills.


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 3O-Con-
gresham Boon has prepared two bills
which he will introduce this week to
effect the destruction of the national
banking system and the flooding of the
country with fiat money in accordance
with the most approved Populist profess
sions. His first object would be accom-
plished by the prohibition of the issuance
of any more charters to national banks
and the withdrawal of the public funds
now on deposit in these institutions to the
treasury.
His second purpose is outlined in a bill
providing for the issue of a billion dollars
OF irredeemable paper in currency to be
spent during the next five years as fol-
lows: Fifty millions year for the cree
ton of public buildings in all the cities and
villages of over 1000 inhabitants; a like
sum in the Improvements of the rivers
and harbors, and hundred million year
in the construction of two lines Of railway
crossing the country from north to
south and two lines east and
west. These lines are to be laid
out by a commission of five members,
to be selected from body of delegates,
one to be elected by the governor of each
state The preference IS to be given farm
ers and business men, and lawyers, bank
ers and railroad men are barred. All must
be in favor of the naturalization of rail-
WAYS.

HOW NOW, JUDGE KICKS.
Charge That an United States Off,
Ger Has Not Accounted for Public

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 31.-An expert
accountant employed by local afternoon
paper, has been at work for several days
on the records of the United States court
investigating the charges made by the
Central Labor Unions against United
States Judge A. J. Kicks. The paper to-
day prints lengthy tabulated statement,
showing, so it is claimed, a discrepancy of
$1,65s.75 against Judge Kicks when he was
clerk of the United States circuit court
The article concludes as follows: 1.-THE
United States records proclaim that III
these Birdsall cases the United States
treasury was defrauded out of s., 55S 75 all
OF which was received and appropriated
by August J. Kicks long after he had
ceased to be a clerk and while he was
judge of the district court for the Northern
dlstr1ct OF Ohio. The records do not dis
close that the $1,55S7 IS so obtained by Judge
KICKS was incorporated in any subsequent
report of succeeding clerks, and presum-
ably the government officials are in ig-
norance Of the fraud that was practced
upon the government as above shown by
the records of the court
Judge Kicks some days ago denied ex-
plc1tly that there was any discrepancy in
his accounts.

The weekly crop bulletin covering the
state of Minnesota, issued yesterday, says
The hot wave, with a temperature of 100
degrees or more, which passed over the
state on Wednesday, Thursday ana over
the southern portion on Friday did great
damage to all vegetation not yet ma tured
Scattered, but generally insufficient, snow
followed the hot wave, and IN some
places in the east central portion OF the
state they were heavy enough to greatly
benefit corn and potatoes.
The excessive heat has ripened small
grain too fast causing the berry to shrivel
and in a few counties a loss OF nearly nVe
bushels to the acre has taken place by the
high winds Smelling the wheat in shock
and in the growing fields. The small gram
yields continue being reported as very I'M
even. with wheat much better than either
barley or oats In next weeks bulletin
thrashing yields will be given to as great
an extent as possible.
Pasturage is very poor, and large
quantity Of stock have to be fed on this
account. Haying is nearly finished. The
yield will average light, but its harvest
took place under very favorable weather
conditions, and it is well cured. Early po-
tatoes are very poor being small ana lew
in the hill, but the late varieties, although
much injured by drouth will be revived
by timely rain, so that an average yield is
possible. They have stood the dry spell
even. better than corn, which has been ire
trievably injured during the week IN all
sections except in the northern part of the
state.
The corn acreage this year is much
larger than ever before, and the crop was
mist promising until recently, the stand
being good and the growth heavy, while it
ves advanced from one to three weeks
ahead of its seasonal average. The hot
NCds and drouth have caused the ears to
{ small and they are not filling well. The
lie planted corn and that on the high
lands and sandy soil is poorest, and the
prospects here have been reduced from one
third to one-half during the last 10 days in
most of the southern and central sections
of the state. A large amount of this corn
is being cut and used for fodder, owing to
short pasturage. On the clayey soils and
low lands timely rains will greatly improve
the corn prospects, so that very nearly the
average yield will be possible. Chinch
bugs are doing a great deal of damage to
corn fields in the southeast portion of the
state. A great many farmers in the
Red River valley have this year for the
first time planted from to 10 acres in corn
as an experiment, and SO far it's condition
is excellent, not having been at all injured
by drouth, and if 1t natures before the
early frosts, the experiment will be highly
successful. The corn fields in all sections
receiving proper cultivation are in much
the better condition and stand the drouth
wonderfully well. while that even in adj
joining fields and improperly attended to
is much poorer.

Uses to Which Land There Is De-

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 31.-Louis
Stern, United States consul at Bamberg, in
report to the department of state, gives
some advance figures from the statistical
schedule showing the agricultural use of

of 17,606,0OO hectares of the superficial area
OF Prussia was used for agricultural pur
poses In 1893, an increase of $1,000 hectares
over 1883. The conditions governing the cul
lure OF products has changed decidedly

elusive cultivation of grains to the growth
