MICHIGAN UkOP REPORT.

MICHIGAN. DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Lansing. July s, 1895.
For this report on wheat more than
l.100 returns have been received, rep
presenting all parts OF the state. The
CORES popdeDts estimate the yield per
acre IN bushels and not in percentage Of
previous or average crops. The average
of the estimates for the state and each
section is as follows: State, SIS bushels;
soaihern counties, Ola bushels: central
counties, 11.lS bushels; northern coun-
ties. IL. 50 bushels, aud upper peninsula,
ii bushels. The estimates for the state
Is the lowest ever made July /; it is near
ly 6 bushels lower than the estimate Of
July /. 1894, and nearly Z bushels lower
than the AVERAGE yield in the eighteen
years, ls76-lS93.
The light crop Is mainly because OF
the drouth that has prevailed all the
season aud still continues, vet other
canses have worked more or less injury.
A correspondent well SAYS: Light TOP
last fall. freezing and thawing In spring,
fros,s in May, and drouth in April, May
and June" To .hese should be added
extensive damage by insects.
The number of bushels Of wheat re-
ported marketed In June is 522,3 as
compared with S0G. .36l reported marketed
In June. 1894, and the amount marketed
IN the eleven months. Augus,-June, is
10. .5s9. 500 bushels as compared with
ll.2gs, SO6 bushels In the same months
last yeai.
The acreage planted to cern Is slightly
In excess of the average. and the coDdi
sion is 81 per cent OF condition 10 aver
age years.
Oats are estimated at 81 per cent oi
an average crep. The average for the
southern counties Is only 81 per cent
The acreage plauted to potatoes is
per cent in excess OF average years, aot
10 condition the crop promises Sc pei
| cent OF an average. Corn and potatoes
seem to have stood the drouth remark
ably well. If an abundance OF ralr
comes soon both crops may be expected
to yield fairly we'll.
Meadows and pastures were probably
never In poorer condition at this date
and the spring seeding to clover is near
ly all lost.
The outlook for apples and peaches i
not encouraging. The former promise
perhaps one-third, and the latter FIVE
eighths OF AN average crop.

CAPTURED.
Oae OF the Prisoners Who Broke Jail
the Night of July ith Again


Frank McNett. who with John Ken
| nedy broke jail on the night of July 4th,
was captured at Falk's settlement yes
terday morning, \and is again ia the
county Jail Kennedy, however, is still
at largo.
Since their escape Sheriff Hid had
been securing the woods, and had poti-
fed the authorities In all cities and
towns. but 10 no avail. Monday morn
ing he left for Sidnaw in response to a
telegram, BELIEVING that they had been
captured, but when he arrived was in
formed that Saturday afternoon Ken
nedy had called at camp near Sidnaw,
procured his supper, and had gone. No
further trace could be obtained, until
Yesterday morning, when Deputy
Sheriff John Graham received word
that McNstt was working for a
farmer at Falk's settlement. He
Immediately started for the place, and
upon arrival found the young man
SUlDElItlg udT0. hT. bTdHdH
very politely invited McNett to
accompany him TO L'Anse, and in
short time he was safely landed In
Jail.
During conversation with the writer
yesterday afternoon McNett said:
Il had a little recreation and fun out
OF it anyhow"
But did you not know that you would
be captured sooner or later|'
Il did not care

Value OF "a Minute.

Napoleon, who knew the value of time,
remarked that 1t was the quarter hours
that won battles. The value Of minutes
has been often recognized, and any per-
son watching railway clerk handing
out tickets and change during the last
few minutes available must have been
struck with how much could be done in
these short periods Of time.
At the appointed hour the train starts
and by aud by is carrying passengers at
the rate OF so miles an hour. In sec.
ond you are carried twenty-nine yards.
in one twenty-ninth part of second you
pass over one yard. Now, one yard Is
quite an appreciable distance, bat one
twenty-ninth part Of a second is period
which cannot be appreciated
Yet, II is when we come 10 planetary
and stellar motions that the notion Of
the Infinite divlsibiity OF time dawns
upon US in new light. 1t would seem
that no portion Of time, however micros-
copic, is unavailable. Nature can per-
form prod gies, not certainly ia less than
no time. but in portions OF it so minute
as 10 be altogether inconceivable. The
earth reve,ves on her axis 10 twenty
| four hours. At the equator her circum-
ference is 25, 900 miles. Hence In that part
OF the earth person is being carried east
ward at the rate OF 500 yards per second.
That is, he Is moving over yard whose
length is conceivable, In the period OF
one FIVE hundredth and ninth part Of q
second, OF which we can have no con-
ceptien at all.
But more, the orbital motion of the
earth round the earth causes the former
to perform a revolution OF nearly 800,.
00a, 900 miles In year, or somewhat less
than 10000 miles an hour, which Is
more than loco miles In m1nste. Here
then, our second carries us the long dis
tance OF about nineteen miles. The
mighty ball thus files about mile IN tbs
nineteenth part Of second. d.--Bostor

THE JAM BROKE"
After ocoupyipg the Attention of Judge
and j nry For Two. Days.

The trespass case OF Joseph Lebeau
VS.. the Sturgeon River Lumber Company
was concluded late Saturday afternoon
In the circuit court, after two days
faithful fighting on the part Of the at.
torneys on either side, and after shor,
delibcrat!on the jury rendered sealed
verdict, which was found Monday morn
lag upon opening of court, to be In favor
of the plaintiff for the sum of $50. .aboye
costs of court.
IL appears that the plaintiff resides on
farm situated near the banks OF the
Sturgeon River. and that the Sturgeon
River Lumber Company's logs while be-
ing driven down the stream formed into
jam" causing the water TO overflow
and seriously iniure the plaintiffs house
contents, barn, premises, etc., thereby
causing himself and family great incon-
venience and loss.
Messrs. Halsey and Culver, OF Mar
yuette, were counsel for the plaintiff,
and Attorney Gray, of Houghton. for
the defendant.
The next case was that of Robert Vial
VS. The L'Anse Lumber company. The
evidence showed that last winter one
Shaw, Of Baraga, contracted with Mr..
Vial for the purchase of his pine logs,
paving him S1.00 down, and giving his
note for 5000. Shaw then sold the logs
to the L'Anse Lumber company, receiv.
ing pay for the same, but it appears he
never fulfilled his agreement with Vial.
As the Lumber company was an in
Docent purchaser and had paid for the
logs, the judge instructed The jury to
render verdict for the defendant. &.
A. Wright. Of Hancock. had charge of
the case for the plaintiff and P. K. Nc
Herman for the defendant.
Defaults were taken as follows:
Peter Ruppe VS. Philip Voetsch,
Ss64.S5. Costs. $3.50.
Peter Ruppe VS. Frank G5leau,
81 ,9S5. 9s.) Costs, S.5.5S.
Peter Ruppe vs. Joseph Chase. SS4l.9S.

ia sad Circumstances. S.

About three months ago Mr. and Mrs.
Matt Mackeii and three children, of
Michigamme. moved to this city, but
how they have been ahle to MAINTAIN a
living is mystery. as they are very
poor. A few days ago Mr.. Mackeii OBJ
tanned work at the L'Anss Lumber Com
pany's mil, but was obliged TO abandon
it TO care for his wife, who became sud
denly insane. Yesterday the husband
decided that The fa,1ily had better re-
turn TO MichigGmme, aid the house,
hold goods they had were shipped, and
the county provided them with trans
portation. but shortly before the train
arrived the unfortunate woman was
seized with q peculiar idea, and refused
to go.
The family are in bad circumstances
and something will doubtless have to be
done for them.

BY act OF the last legislature, the state
board OF agriculture is authorized TO
hold farmers institute In each county
In the state desiring one. These insti-
tutes are to be two days In length. The
board will furnish speakers, with all
expenses paid, to eectfpy one half the
time OF the institute. Local speakers
will be expected to occupy the other
half Of the time; and local expenses,
such as hail rent, heating, programs
etc.. will have to be furnished by the in-
stitute society.
Counties desiring an institute must
first organize an institute soeiety under
the provisions of the law. To organize,
at least twenty residents OF the county,
without regard to sex but OF legal age,
shall meet and adopt brief coustitu-
tiou, forms for which will be furnished.
and bylaws, in harmony with the state
law and rules OF the board, and shall
proceed 70 elect the following officers:
A president, e-president from eac h
township in the county. and secretary
who sha! also be treasurer. When any
county already has an institute society,
this society may be accepted by the
board for institute purposes, by agree
ing to conform 10 the rules OF the board.
A good active county agricultural socIe-
ty may also become an institute society,
by making similar agreement.
These societies must be organized by
Sept. 30, 1898, ani the earlier the better.
II the farmers OF this county desire an
institute next winter, with help from
the state, they should Immediately begin
getting ready to organize. We advise
those interested to arrange for meeting
at an early date. so as TO be In line with
other counties. A copy OF the law and
rales governing these Institutes can be
seen at this office. Particulars regarding
organizing can he obtained by writing
to Kenyon l.. Butterheld Agricultural
College, Mica, who is uperiuteudent Of
institutes.

THE NEWS OF SAN JOSE,
Liquor Sellers Lose the Case
Brought to Test the License
Law.
Fruit Output From Santa Clara
County-Suits Involving Large
Amounts.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 1.-THE case of
]. ?. Mccarthy, who was charged with
selling liquor without license, was be-
fore Judge Reynolds this morning on
writ of habeas corpus.
Mccarthy was arrested, May 81, for SELL
ing liquor without a license. His trial was
set for June 10 and bail fixed at $50, which
he refused to give. McCarthy's attorney
carried the case to the Superior Court on a
writI of habeas corpus, setting forth the
fact that the license ordinance was invalid,
and that his client was unlawfuIly de-
prived of his liberty. McCarthy's attorney
claimed that the law was so worded as to
tax the act and not the business, in that
the license imposed tax on the selling of
liquor and not on conducting liquor
business.
Judge Reynolds held that the ordinance
was valid, and, although the wording OF
the law was not very plain, it was the in
tention of the ordinance to refer to the
business and not the act. He accordingly
dismissed the petition and remanded the
petitioner into custody.
