Latest iu the Conner Gaze.

The latest in regard to the Julia
l.. Conner case is that part of q dress
or 3 wrapper belonging to Mrs. Con-
ner has been found in Holmes .cas-
tie" and identified. According to
the report the manner Of identified.
lion was peculiar. She aad all her
sisters were expert dressmakers. and
had peculiar method of finishing
up the undor side seams in their
dresses. The seam sewing on the
gown found has been closely COM
pared with other work of Mrs. Com
ncr. and has been found to be idea-
teal. The sleeves of the garment
have been badly cut. Aa effort will
be made to prove that it WAS the
gown worn by Mrs. Conner on Chris
mas day 1891, when she was last seen
alive. It is thought witnesses can
identity it as having been worn by
her that day.

The Crops.

This week harvesting has been quite
generally commenced. and by Saturday
night many OF the fields OF early sown
gram will be in the shock Since the
late rams the weather has been all that
could be desired, the small grain ripen-
ing very slowly, and consequently filling
in excellent form, and greatly improving
the prospects in numbers of fields where
the few bad days IN the beginning OF the
month had appeared to work serious
injury. The large amount of twine re-
qulred to the acre, beng nearly double
that Of some former years, indicates the
vigorous stand of straw which covers the
fields, and the occasional threshings of
small amounts of grain for feeding pur-
poses, shows that the yield of grain In
many cases IS phenomenal. Next week
the harvest work will be in full blast
pretty nearly all over the county, except
ing perhaps in the coteaus, and the almost
niversal report goes to show that il the
fields escape destruction by hail Grant
county Will this year garner the best
crop Of small grain 1t has ever produced,
while corn, potatoes and other vegetables
are in fine condition and show wonder
tul growth and promise Of excellent
yields.
