SOME people not only object
to millionaires, but also object
to the latter class spending any
of their millions. The Laredo
Times says:
"The wedding Miss Sloar, a
niece of the Vanderbilts, which
is to far outshine the Castellane
|Gould affair, and at which a
million dollars will be spent in
ceremonials and fixings, will
make interesting reading for
the millions of souls who are
fiat on their uppers, and are
being urged by the money king
publications to beware Of the
silver craze and other "eXper-
iments" for lear of financial
ruin"
Why should the Times
grumble because the Wander
bits are going to spend a
million or this affair? Every
cent Of the million will begnut
into general circulation throagh
the various artisans who will
furnish material for the grand
celebration. A few more such
swell weddings amongst our
miIlionaires will materially re-
duce their holdings, and add to
the wealth of our laboring class
es. Generous millionaires are
not such bad things after all.

am not able to give correct an
swers to all your inquiries, but will
do the best can from what have
learned through general alconversation
in my store with farmers. The increase
in cultivated acreage in this town is
not over 250 acres. Corn has in
creased 100 per cent in acreage. and
potatoes about Is per cent. Wheat
has decreased fully 80 per cent.
Wheat. oats and rye look better
than have ever seen them before.
Corn is yet too young to say much
about. Potatoes look well, and are
promising; no bugs vet in sight. The
date Of wheat harvest depends on
weather; rye will probably be har-
vested between July 10 and 20. The
hay crop is not promising; the
drought last year killed considera BILE
of some kinds of meadow grass-es-
pecial]y blue joint and red top;
hurt timothy Some SO it stands very
thin. The prospects for bountifnl
harvest are better in this neighbour

About five per cent more land is
under cultivation this year than
last. A great increase has taken
place in the corn crop, which is
nearly double that OF last year.
Wheat has decreased fully twenty
per cent in acreage, and potatoes
have remained about the same as
last year. Oats-increase about
one-third. Wheat, oats, rye and
barley never looked better, but corn
is backward. The raising Of cattle
is increasing as farmers increase their
pastures, and hog raising has
doubled during the past year. Hay

NY observat Hons convince me that
during residence of twenty-four
years in the town of Swan River the
prospect for an ali around good crop
was never so promising as at the
present time. The area ofcultivated
land has been considerably increased
this spring by breaking-probably
10 per cent-and a decided change in
the acreage of the different crops is
apparent. Wheat, instead of lend
ing as of old, will play second fiddle
to corn; in fact the acreage Of wheat
has decreased greatly, while that OF
corn has increased fully 40 per cent.
Rye, also, shows III increased
acreage, and is looking away up.
The area devoted to oats is about as
usual, but an unusual yield is to be
expected from prospects at this time.
Potatoes occupy at least 100 per
cent more ground than ever before,
and at present writing no bugs are
to be seen. All the above mentioned
crops have the strong healthy look
which betokens good returns at
harvest time, and if conditions con-
tinue favorable the granaries
throughout the country will have to
be enlarged. The wild hay is good,
but timothy has not recovered from
the severe drought of '94 and is light.
There is Il tendency toward an in
crease in the number OF cattle, as the
outlook for beef is a little brighter,
and an increase of pork naturally
follows, especially with an increased
area of corn and rye-the two great
pork makers. Sheep, too, are gain
ing slowly in number in spite of the
Democratic price of wool, and a few
are found on nearly every farm.

Trade the past week was about
the same as last week, with slight
increase. The assurance Of good
crops makes farmers increase their
trading, and it is evident that this
fall will witness better conditions
than for the past twoyears. Wheat
has gone down since last week. No

Conditions indicate that Morrison
county will have every reason to
have "jolly harvest festival" this
fall. The story of promises OF abund-
ant crops is familiar to the eyes and
ears of everyone who visits any
farm district in the county or hears
the comments of those familiar with
the facts. Good news will bear re-
peating, and for that reason the
Transcript gives some space today
to renewed expressions of the oft
repeated story of the indications OF
good crops. This article also goes
much farther and furnishes treliable
news as to the agricultural develop
ment of the count "a large numi-
bere of the lending farmers and busi-
ness mon OF the county today ex-

Transcript, their opinions as to

cepted as conservative and trust
worthy.
These letters show that there has
been a general increase in the culti-
waited area of the county, nearly
every town making some showing
in that direction. There has evi-
dently been an unusual change in
crops this year compared with
former seasons) and the demoralized
prices and the partial failures in 1894
Jointly contributed to the remark
able change. Wheat shows de-.
crease in acreage of as much as 20
per cent in nearly every town, and
in some parts of the county much
more. This was quite natural,
when we remember the low price
wheat commanded about seeding
time, and the poor crops Of the last
two or three years. The popular
crop for the increase varies in diff
ferent localities, as will be seen by
studying the communication which
will follow. Corn is the heavy
gamer in some parts, potatoes in
crease in nearly every town, rye is
unusually plenty in the fields OF a
few towns. and oats get more at
tention than heretofore. The wheat
harvest will begin in very few To-
calities before August H. and the
continued cool weather has made
former estimates as to that period
in the crop :history somewhat early.
Cattle raising is increasing in many
towns-in others not changing. 1t
is believed that the tendency of
farmers has been to increase stock
raising, but the conditions during
the past year have almost conspired
to prevent any increase. First, the
fires last fall destroyed 4 great deal
OF hay, and made the wintering OF
much stock very expensive; second,
crops were generally poor and
farmers found it necessary to dispose
of more stock than they had planned
to, in order to realize money for
necessary purposes; third, the rather
high prices beef has commanded
lately was a temptation to sell-so
the result of all has been but little
increase. The early future will, we
are convinced, see greatly increased
attention to this branch of the in
dustry. The raising of hogs is in
creasing in almost all sections, and
the great enlargement of the corn
area ia an Indication that farmers
are realizing that there ia money in
pork.

under cultivation, but crops We're so
poor last year that settlers were not
able to have much breaking done,
and some of the more unfortunate
ones were obliged to abandon their
land. The crops that have increased
are corn and potatoes. The corn has
nearly doubled in acreage. The
potatoes have doubled in acreage.
The crop that has decreased in
acreage this season is wheat, the
decrease being so per cent. One OF
the reasons NJ the decrease is that it
is too expensive u crop to han die.
The oats have a small decrease in
acreage, being about 20 per cent this
season; the reason is that it is the
same rs wheat-too expensive Il
crop to handle.
The wheat crop looks well, and If
it keeps on as at present the harvest
will be twenty-five or thirty bushels
per acre; the harvesting will COM
mence about August lst. The rye
crop looks well and promises a good
yield; it will be ready to cnt about
July l. The Oat crop never was
better at this time OF the season. and
II nothing prevents, the yield per acre
will be from fifty to sixty bushels; it
will he ready for cutting about the
1st Of August. The potatoes are
looking well and the yield will be
good. II nothing happens weexpect
about two hundred bushels per acre,
and of good quality. Oh, yes; where
are the potato bugs?
The hay crop is looking fine and
will be good quality and good
yield on the meadows that were not
burned last fall. About one-half of
the large meadows were burned and
will not yield any hay this season, so
the decrease in acreage will be 100
per cent. The general outlook is fine
for a good crop this season.

duty to the British occupants should be
seized in the interior, the owners, Brit
ish or. American, would have a very
good claim for reparation. The only
question is as to whose duty it would
be to secure this, whether the United
States would feel bound to intervene
in the case of an American merchant
in such case, and therein lies one of the
factors which may involve our country
directly in the dispute. 1t has been
asserted as hard and fast rule of in
ternational law that duties cannot be
twice collected, and our own govern
ment has taken an advanced position on
this question. At one time when the
diplomatic relations between Great
Britain and Mexico were interrupted,
and revolutionary movement was in
progress in the, latter country, a Brit
ish ship entering one of the revolu-
tionary ports Of Mexico paid duties
upon her goods to the insurgents.
Afterwards, the Mexican government
again assessed the duties upon the
same goods, holding that the insurg-
ents had no authority to make the
first collection, and refusing to recog-
niZe it. The British minister at Wash
ington, Sir Edward Thornton, appealed
to our government, Great Britain hav-
ing no representative in Mexico. to
secure the release of the goods from
this imposition. We acted very
promptly, and obliged the Mexicans to
release the goods, and to acknowledge
the principle that duties cannot be
twice levied. This case differs in
many important features from that
presented by the closure of Corinto,

A BROTHERS. VENGEANCE
For the Inhumnn Treatment of
His Sister-Result of Do
nestle BrOiIs.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 27.-Emil
Sanger, brother of Walter Sanger,
was shot and killed by Robert LUIS
comb, ex-city attorney, at a late hour
tonight, and Lusccmb is in Jail. Sanger
and Luscomb are brothers-in-law, and
there has been bad blood in the family
for a number of years. Sanger's wife
is a sister of Luscomb. Tonight she
sought shelter in Luscomb's house,
claiming that her husband was ILL
treating her. Sanger went to Lus-
combs house. sought admission, and
Luscemb thereupon shot him through
a plate glass door with a double
barreled shotgun. The charge entered
his head, killing him instantly.
Mrs. Sanger's body is black and blue
from the beatings that her husband
has given her, and she has been under
doctors care for several days.
Emil Sanger is the president of the
c. NJ. Sanger Sons company, manu-
facturers of sash, doors and blinds,
and is the well known bicyclist's elder
brother.
Luscomb is the son of one of Mil
waukee's oldest and best known fami-
lies, and is leading lawyer with a
large practice. 1t is stated late to-
night that Mr.. Luscomb has repre-
scented interests in the courts adverse
to his brother-in-law, and that there
has been no very good feeling between
the men either in a social or business
way for a long time. Mrs. Sanger is
the divorced wife of Frank Jermain,
ex-treasuref of the Wisconsin Tele-
phone company, and married the muir
dered man three years ago.
Mr.. Luscomb says that Sanger came
to his house at 11:45 tonight and be-
gan kicking at his door. AS he Sang
err had warned his wife that he would
kill her if she went to Luseomb's, he
was afraid for his own and his sisters
safety, and he fired the fatal shot.
Mr.. Luscomb says that Mrs. Sanger
has suffered the hardest kind of treat
ment from her husband, and is now
