The first new wheat brought TO Westminster
this season was hauled here yesterday, the 9TH,
BY John E. Riekle, of Avondale 1t was sold
to E. 0. Grimes. The price paid was 60
cents.
The Undine Milling Company have gotten
their steam mill, elevator and cooper shop in
this city in complete order, and are ready 10
start the establishment, which they will do as
soon as sufficient new wheat is obtained.
While separator was being unloaded at
the depot here on Thursday, under the diree-
ton ola representative of the manufacturer,
it fell to the ground and was badly damaged.
1t was intended for Mr. William Y. Frizzell,
of Bloom.
A son of Mr.. John Myers, near Union Mills.
had collar-b bone broken on Wednesday after
noon. He was driving the binder. His horse
stumbled and fell, dragging down another
horse, which fell on the boy, causing the in
jury above noted.
Wheat harvest in Carroll is about over. and
the crop is good one. Owing to the low
price prevailing last year few farmers re-
duced their usual acreage sown to wheat and
now that there has been considerable rise in
price they wish they had not done so. Opin-
ions vary as to the price of wheat, some be-
lieving it will not 90 much higher and others
believe that it viii go to one dollar About
one point there is no controversy, and that IS
wheat will sell for about 25 cents a bushel
higher than was expected when the crop was
seeded last fall. 1t was sown with the eXpec-
tation of getting 80 cents a bushel. and none
is likely to sell for less than 20.
Gov Frank Brown was in Westminster on
Monday and had the will of his wife, the late
Mrs. Mary R. Brown, probated in the Or

entire estate Is divided between Governor
Brown and his two children in equal shares,
the Governor being named rs trustee for the
children and also as executor The bond of
$500. 900 was furnished by the Fidelity and

The arc lights in Westminster we're 1T for
the first time on Thursday night. The lights
were beautiful, but owing to the burning out
of the carbons in several lamps all had 10 be-
turned off between | aud , clock IN the
morning The full power of the lights could
not be observed. owing 10 the moonlight, and
the shade trees in some places interfersd.
The electric light company have expended
considerable money to light the city satisiae-
factOrily. bat that cannot be done unless the
citizens will consent to some trimming of the
trees. The dense shade in some parts Of the
town interiered very materially with the gas
lamps II is probable, too, that the electric
light company viii have 10 put mp few more
arc lights. or use some gas lamps. The dis
lance between the are lamps. in some parts Of
the town. Is too great TO afford sufficient light.

DIED BY HIS OWN HAND.
Edward s. Bale Shot Himself Through the
Head and Died Instantly.

Edward S. Bale. aged about 81 years. a
well-known farmer, and son of the late Judge
Isaac c. Bale. shot himself through the head.
at his home near this city, last Saturday morn
ing. about II o'clock, and died instantly.
The cause of the act is matter of specula-
ton. but the deceaseds mind must have been
unbalanced by something weighing heavily
upon it. The deed was done in the feed entry
of the large barn on Mr.. Bales farm, and
was first known to his wife, who went to the
barn with one of her little children to call him
TO dinner. as he had not appeared at the house
at the usual hour. When she called he did
not respond, and looking in at the door of the
entry she saw his hat living on the floor. The
entry was quite dark, and she could see moth
ing more, but her fears were aroused. Pro-
curing lantern she made a search, with the
assistance of Mr.. John ByerS. carpenter.
who happened to be on the place. and soon
found the body, but was not aware until the
arrival of DR.. Jos. I. Herring. who had been
sent for, that life was extinct. Mr. Bale was
sitting in corner of the entry between the
feedbox aud wall His head was thrown
back. his feet crossed and the right wrist
rested upon the left A thirty -eight- caliber
pistol, of the bulldog pattern. was still grasped
in his right hand. A wound in the right
temple disclosed the cause of death. The
right temple two inches in the rear of the eve.
aud had gone directly through the head, COM

The harvest season. with oil its busy labor,
is upon us again, and the crop IL q good one.
Every growing and ripening crop in this local
itylooSs remarkably well, except corn. Many
fields have spots in them of from one-half to
an acre with nothing growing but weeds.
Some farmers planted their ground the third
time. The oat and potato crops are looking
remarkably we'll and the yield will certainly
be satisfactory TINS year.
The apple orchards are rather full of fruit
and we think we will be able 40 have both
applebutter aud cider this fall
