BREADFOR The WORLD
The Great Northwestern Wheat
Region
Of Minnesota and the Dakotas
Have Big Crops.
MORE THAN LAST YEAR
And Nearly as Great as in
1891.
MORE THAN LAST YEAR
Estimated Yield 166.OOO,O0(
Bushels for Three States.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 24.-The annual
wheat crop estimate for Minnesota.
North Dakota and South Dakota, com
piled by H. V. Jones, editor of the Jour
nal, was published today. Mr.. Jones
spends four weeks each year in travel
ing in the three states, and his estimates
for four years have been found to be
very close to the actual output as proven
at the end of the crop year by the ship
ments.
The total yield of wheat in the three
state is placed at 166 million bushels,
divided as follows: Minnesota 63 mill
ion; South Dakota 80 millions North Da-
kota 63 millions. This is a gain of %
million from last year for North Dakota
and Minnesota. The acreage is placed
| by Mr.. Jones at 9, 325, 900 each for Min
nesota and North Dakota and 100000
for South Dakota 2 per cent reduction
from the last year being allowed for the
two states frat named, with no reduction
for South Dakota, the decreased acreage
| in the northern counties of that state
being Offset by an increase in the south
| ern counties.
These figures of acreage are consider
ably in excess of the government acre
age, but the yields of four years appear
to verify them. The crop is placed
| from 10 to IS million bushels below
that of 1891. but the above estimated
weld removes doubt as to the''bumper"
| proportions of the crop, although the fig
! ures are now more conservative than
| some of the estimates made.
Mr.. Jones' report fills three columns,
and it gives with a good deal of detail
| the crop situation in the three states. 1t
is expected that Minneapolis and Duluth
will receive at least l00.000,000 bushels
frem the new crop, while Chicago and
draw nearly I5,0OOOOO bushels out OF
| South Dakota.
The quality of the crop relatively is
not as good as last year, but the repor'
of smut damage is referred to as not be
ing an important factor The six Red
| river valley counties in Moth Dakota
are estimated to yield 56,000,O00 bushels
or an average of about 81 bushels, lit
tie less than was raised in 1891

But nobody will doubt that as Col.

instead of being only $4,000 in
twenty -one months we're all the way
from $16. 800 to $4,000 a year, as one
may want to estimate it. Now take out
Taylor's salaries of 81, 200 and $4,000 for
actual travelling expenses, or $4,000 in
all, something like so, 300 OR 1926, 500 a

Try to Get Together.
FRANKFORT, KY, Aug. 24.-Chairman
Norman of the campaign committee left
for Louisville on an early train to attend
the meeting of tho Democratic commit
tee.
At the meeting steps will be taken de-
manding concerted action on the silver
question. Several members of the com
mittee have declared for sound money.
Accompanying them we're candidates
Heudrick, Thompson and Swang.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 24-The conference
of the leading Democrats called for to-
day met at the state headquarters at 1:3O
o'clock behind closed doors The air
was full of rumors all the moraing, but
none could be traced to an authoritative
source.
1t has been suggested that there would
be Wholesale resignation of members of
the central committee. but this is not
probable unless the conference is more
stormy than anyone expects. The sound
money Democrats outnumber the silver
men on the committee, but majority OF
the committee are personal friends OF
Hardin.
Another rumor is to the effect that un-
less Mr. Hardin retracts or modities his
recent utterances, or withdraws from
the ticket at least three of the nominees
will themselves withdraw in order to
enable NIr. Hardiu's friends to construct
a consistent free silver ticket.

IT RAINED EVERYWHERE
Except at Wichita Where They Had Only
Thunder and Lightning.


Thunder and Lightning.
CHICAGO. August 24.-Reports of last
nights storm show it extended over a
wide area Though it had its origin in
this part of the country, it extended is
cooling influences all over the southwest
ern section of the country. Even the
alkali deserts of New Mexico aud a COR
ner of hot and arid Arizona were sprink-
led more literally than they have been in
nearly quarter of a century.
Colorado, Nebraska, the Dakotas, a
section of Montana that has been blister
ing since May, and even two thirds of
the state of Kansas received the grateful
downpour of this remarkable storm.
Down in Wichita which is only few
miles from Oklahoma line, there was a
thunderstorm, but not drop of rain fell.
This phenomenon is common in parts of
California and in the mountains of Idaho,
but it is the first time on record that
Kansas has ever enjoyed the rare pri-
vilege of approaching the beauties of
thunder and lightning without the ac
compinament of rain.

WHAT MORRILL, SAID.

viii Retire From POiitIcs-Says Republi-
cans Are Boldly Against silver.
Governor MorrilPs interview in the
east the other day was telegraphed to
the west only in part. He said several
things of interest which did not appear
in the dispatch.
For instance, as publish ed in the east,
he stated to reporter that after his term
as governor expired he would be out of
politics.
He also said the Republican party in
Kansas was boldly against silver.
The following is quotation from his
interview as published in the New York
Tribune of Agust II, under a Rochester
date:
NO I am not candidate. not even a
possibility in the national convention"
"Would I accept if nominated?"
"Well, as Secretary Carlisle replied the
other day when asked the question-who
Wouldn't"
"How is the chance of third term for
Cleveland regarded in Kansas"
''Grover Cleveland has not any follow
ers among the Democrats of Kansas.
They are all for the unlimited coinage OF
silver"
How do the western Republicans
stand On the silver question:"
1--WE are recovering the courage of our
convictions, and the Republican opposi-
ton to free coinage is now bold and de-
termined in Kansas"
Ready to Quit.
In another paper. telegram referrin g
to Governor Morrill, reads as follows:
"Speaking with reference to an article
which appeared in western paper to
the effect that he had come east to do
some skirmlshing on his own account,
the governor said: No; 1 am not
candidate, nor even possibil-
ity, in the national convention.
Would I accept if nomin ated?
Well, as Secretary Carlisle replied the
other day when asked the same ques-
tion-w ho wouldn't? Seriously though
there's nothing in such talk. I am GO
ing to get out of politics as soon as my
present term as governor expires. Gov
ernor Morrill, left for home this evening"
