Fly in the Wheat.
W. are informed that the growing
wheat in Jefferson county is being Sc
riously damaged by the ravages OF the
fly. 1t is considered by some persons
that the loss will be from one-fourth
to one-third from this cause. An OBJ
servant farmer near Shepherdstown
told us he had one field that he be-
lieved would not make more than halt
a crop, and that there are very few
fields that are not damaged to some
extent. The effects of the fly had not
been noticed much until the past week
or two. The cut-worms have been play
ing havoc with the corn, and more re-
planting than usual will have to be
done.

who Travelled as far as Minneapolis

At one part of their trip they reached
Northern Pacific railroad bridge
which spanned d lake. LEM did not
want to delay long enough TO go
around and thus add three or four
miles to his long journey. He decided
TO ride across the bridge along the mar
row board at the side, without any
ihand-rail, which was intended for en-
iployes of the road only. Bruce de-
iclared he would not risk it and rode
Iaround the lake.

matter of speculation. An additional
draft on banker in Erzeroum he is
known to have had has not been pre-
