Tho Season Of Suicides,

Spring is the season for suicides as
we'll as for sales. People prefer for this
purpose, as statistics show, day to night
and Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday to
Saturday and Sunday.
In a word, suicides prefer the early
part of the week, month and year. It
would follow seemingly that anybody
with a melancholic friend should look
after him carefully ON the first Monday
in May.
Men kill themselves two three or four
times more often than women, except in
Spain. Women generally edo it beauti-
fully" men crudely.
SaxOny is the most suicidal country
in Europe, and the least so is-the ''un-
happy counthry" Ireland's rate is 81

Bradstreet's View Of What the Business
Situation Indicates.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19-Bradstreet's says:
With few exceptions commercial, finan-
cial and industrial features indicate only
retention of improvements heretofore
noted. Print cloths have gone down to
q Lowest price on record" One southern
pig iron company is reported to have
taken an order under S. and wooden and
cotton goods manufacturers in eastern,
central and middle states declare that
prices are so low and broken there is prac-
tically no profit. Other declines in
prices are: Wheat and corn, l cent each;
oats = cent; pork Is cents, and lard 10,
while the only important advances in ad-
dition to those specified are on lumber at
some western markets, and coffee 1-8 cent.
Leading manufacturing industries and
larger wholesale houses at business
centres report that extreme conservatism
in purchases will mark business during
the spring; that interior buyers are not
inclined to anticipate wants more now
than in the previous year; that prices
generally continue at very near the lowest
reported for many years, and that wages,
with rare exceptions, are as low as they
have been at any time during or in the
panic of 1879. A redeeming feature is
found in a moderately increasing number
of industrial employees at work compared
with one year ago, but rates of compensa-
ton have not advanced
The total quantity Of wheat (fiour in
cluded as wheat) exported from both

The Tailor Tells How the Coat Collar Il
Quickly Ruined. vs.
The most difficult thing to fit on o
man ia a coat collar, and il is the easiest
thing to get out Of shape. except per-
haps the knees Of the trousers. A tailor
molds and shapes a collar with his hands
and hot goose to conform with the meas.
urements he has taken Of the shape of
an individuals shoulders, and it does
not take great deal Of ill usage to de-
stroy his work.
The worst enemy q coat collar has, Z"
said the tailor, lis the colored boy who
brushes your clothes in the barber shop,
hotel or sleeping car. When he helps
you ON with your overcoat. he reaches
under for your coattails, grasps the
overcoat collar with the other hand and
gives your undercoat two or three smart
jerks, which pulls the collar down and
away from the neck and punches it on
the shoulders, and the overcoat finishes
the work Of destroying its shape. This
should never be allowed under any con-
sideration.
1.-THE proper way to keep the coat col
lar in place is 20 shrug your shoulders
forward after You have put the coat on.
The collar will then fall into place on
your neck; the cloth will adjust itself to
the shape Of your shoulders and stay
there. Don't pull the collar about, and
don't, above all, allow the brush boy to
pull your coat out Of shape under the
pretense of getting your overcoat on
your shoulders.
Brush boys will please note-Kansas

Rushed to the Scene Of the Rebellion
Death Of Charles Carter.
Within two minutes after receiving the
telephone account of the fight detail of
thirty.two men from the regulars sta
toned at the government building was
ordered out. The command was given to
Lieutenant King and the force was at the
scene in q short time, the distance being
only four miles. As soon as they came
within shooting distance Of the scene of
action the natives fired q parting vollcy
and fled. Charles Carter received medical
attention and was taken to his residence
neaf by, where he died early the next
morning. Hollis wound was through the
breast, but not necessarily fatal. He was
sent to the hospital.
A revolver held to the head of a Japan
csc servant induced him to find several
rifles and pistols, and the lieutenant was
ordered to hold the place, as it was a dis
tributing point tor arms. At daylight q
large force of natives, who had taken up
strong position ON the slope of Diamond
Hill, attacked him. After standing fire
about an hour and finding that the ma
tives had the advantage of numbers and
position Lieutenant King moved his
force to Sans Souci, n pleasure resort a
few hundred yards nearer town and with
telephone communications. shortly the
telephone was used, and Lieutenant
Coyne and twenty-five more Of the regu-
lars were sent. The number of insurgents
was variously estimated from IU to go.
With Coyne's force was sent field piece
President Murray, of the Citizens
Guard. with twenty-five mounted police
men were sent out on a road leading to
the insurgents. They met with no re-
sistance until they approached Paoli val
ley, over the edge Of which a stone wall
extends, beyond which large body Of
insurgents with . how.:zer were estab-
lished- The first intimation Murray's
forces had Of an enemy was a shower Of
bullets which did no harm. Had the ma
ttves waited little longer Murray's
troops could have been annihilated- They
fetrcated q short distance and established
and fortified . camp and telcphonic COM
munication with Lieutenant King.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Topeka, June p. 1895.

UNIV - ANcC'
The Kansas Board of Agriculture
today issues a report on the states
present crop conditions, deduced from
observations made by its regular cor
respondents in practically every town
ship in the state, and the showing is
in many respects one Of marvellous
improvement and fabulous prospects,
as compared with the report May 1st.
WINTER WHEAT.
Previous estimates indicated the
area sOwn to winter wheat as 4,064,-
l37 acres, and May 1st it was believed
SO per cent of this would be harvested;
present estimates are that about 81
per cent, or ,4O6, 79l acres will be cut,
and the average yield S.24 bushels per
acre, or total Of 12,332,33 bushels.
In the northern half Of the state
where harvesting is now at its height
the quality Of the grain has been
much improved by the frequent June
rains, but in the southern half the
crop was mostly ripened before the
rains. Notwithstanding the adverse
conditions and resulting small yields
per acre, correspondents in reply to
the direct question as to whether the
quality Of the berry is good" "me-
dunn" or poor" have answered
good" or medium" in large major
ity Of instances from every county ex-
cept five, from which they report
poor" The counties having the
largest aggregate Of wheat-from
100000 to $4,000 bushels each, are
Mcpherson, Labette, Sumner, Ellis
Sedgwick, Rice, Montgomery, Marion
Harvey, Dickinson, iCherOkee, Ness
and Brown, respectively. The larg-
est average yield per acre for a coun-
ty is 10 bushels in Wyandotte. Allen,
COfey, Doniphan and Phillips report
13 bushels each, and 80 counties an
average yield of 10 bushels or more.
SPRING WHEAT.
OF spring wheat s. per cent of the
acreage will be harvested, or about
$4,000 acres. The yield is set down at
$4,000 bushels, or an average of 9
bushels per acre for the 80 counties in
which it is reported growing. The
highest average, 16 bushels, is figured
from Phillips county: 10 counties re-
porta probable average of 10 bushels
or more per acre, and indications of
the quality are good" or medium. "
There is but a single exception as to
the quality.
CORN.
1t is corn, the crop overshadowing
in acreage, value and Importance any
