Wheat Yield Is Small and Poor-Corn
Is Good


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-The returns
to the statistician of the agricultural de-
partment for October make the general
condition of corn so per cent, against 81
for the month of September.
The returns of yield per acre of all
wheat indicate production of II 9 bush
els which Is six-tenths of bushel less
than the preliminary estimate for last
year.
The rate of yield of the most important
states is as follows: New York, IS;
Pennsylvania, IA; Ohio, 9; Michigan, 12;
Indiana, 8; Illinois, 1876; Wisconsin, IA;
Minnesota, ID; Iowa, Is; Missouri, 1916;
Kansas. IL; Nebraska, a. South Dakota,

Oregon, 15.5; California, 145.
The indicated quality for the country
at large is S4.4 per cent, against S5.7 last
year.
The averages of a few selected states
are: Illinois, so; Minnesota, SO; Iowa, SO;
Kansas, 81; Nebraska, "a; South Dakota,
80; North Dakota, 81; Washington, S5;
Oregon, 81; California, 94.
The wheat crop is generally short in
quantity and poor in quality owing to
unfavorable weather, drouth at seeding
excessive rains after harvest, producing
scanty growth, shriveled grains and
rust. The worst is in the great region
from Ohio to Kansas and adjoining
states. Crops are fairly good in the east.

GUILT FRANKLY ADMITTED
Mrs. Castle Simply Stole the Things and

The Lady Is Suffering From Diseases
Not Infrequently Accompanied by

LONDON, Oct. 10.-Walter NJ. Castle,
the wealthy Californian, who, with his
wife, is confined in Holloway Jail on re-
mand, charged with stealing valuable
furs from shops in this city, showed
signs today of suffering from confine-
1nent in prison and from the worry in
cident to it. He said to friends:
don't know how can ever buckle
to again. am dazed by this calamity"
cousin of the Castles, at present in
this city, said to representative of the
Associated Press today:
1.-THE charge is absolutely ridiculous.
Why, two large packing cases full of
presents were sent to my house in Hyde
Park direct from the stores where the
goods were bought. How could they
be stolen? The Castles have been
abroad year and had a large number of
commissions from society friends in San
Francisco, and they have also been
large purchasers of knicknacks, etc."
Evidence will be produced that some
time ago Mrs. Castles health was such
that DIR. Gabriel Of this city was called
He found Mrs. Castle suffering from
pains in the head.
1t was settled yesterday evening that
no application will be made for bail be-
fore the prisoners are brought up on
remand on Tuesday.
The prisoners will be defended by
Charles Mathews.
NO FEARS
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10-Col. AL
bert e. Castle this morning stated that
he had wired to his brothers attorney in
London, asking if he had better go to
London Immediately; also whether ev-
cry facility was given the imprisoned
Castles to communicate with their legal
advisers. He received today the follow
ing reply from the attorney abroad:
'Your presence quite unnecessary.
Have had ample facilities for personal
interviews with both. Have no fears as
to results"
A PLAIN CASE.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-A dispatch to
the World from London concerning the
arrest there of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter nj.
Castle of San Francisco, says: Their
solicitors frankly admitted to repre-
sentative of the World today Mrs. Cas-
ties guilt. Michael Abrahams, their
solicitor, is criminal lawyer of wide
experience ard great ability. He de-
clared today:
81 have had her examined by some
leading specialists, and have no doubt
that the udge will admit that her symp-
toms are such as to warrant a defense
of kleptomania. She suffers from pains
in the head, from complete loss Of men,
ory, and from other Irregularities,
which, according to medical science,
are known to be frequently associated
with delusions
Her case will be decided in month
or SIX weeks. We will apply for bail for
her again next Wednesday, and I hope
she will be released on the bond we can
offer.
"The whole fact of the matter is, in
short, that Mrs. Castle did take these
articles, but her husband is perfectly
innocent of any knowledge whatever CT
her doing so.'

A GREAT DEMONSTRATION
Ia Honor of Congressional Candidate
Grove L. johnson
Southern Pacific Sound Money Clubs
Furnish the Bone and Sinew-John-
sons Defense of Himself.

STOCKTON, Oct 1o-The demonstra-
ton in honor of Grove l.. Johnson, the
Republican candidate for congress in
this district to succeed himself, was one
of the biggest political demonstrations
ever seen in Central California. Sacra-
mento, the home of the candidate, had
planned to take possession of Stockton
and have the first parade of the march
ing clubs of that city and particularly
of the railroad shops here. They sue
ceeded in both designs. The city was
elaborately decorated and illuminated.
Sound money clubs have been forlvtd
in each of the divisions of the Southern
Pacific shops.
The district central committee had
charge of the excursion. The applica-
tions for room were so numerous that
it was evident that without making ex-
ira arrangements it would be impossible
to get the entire company down.
All of the clubs were in uniform and
supplied with torches and they held pos
session of the streets for more than an
hour.
The parade was disbanded at the pa
vilion where an audience Of 5000 people
was waiting to hear Mr. johnson speak.
The pavilion meeting was presided over
by P. A. Buell., who introduced the con-
gressman.
Mr.. Johnson spoke for some time on
protection and sound money and was
frequently interrupted by applause. He
also defended himself on the funding
bill proposition, using the same argu :
ments set forth in his reply to questions
on the same subject by Mr.. Steffans of

ON THE GRIDIRON,
The Stanford and Olympic Rushers Kick
for Tie.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1O.-Stanford
and Olympic measured force today on
the football field and came out of it with
a drawn battle. Neither scored. The
teams are evenly matched as to skill. but
Olympic is the heavier both on am. be-
hind the line. The play from the start
was hard and smashing. The feature of
the game was the fact that there was
more kicking than of old. The punts of
Stickney and Soper were good and clean
but the catches were almost invariab bly,
fumbled. When the Olympic's heavier
line could get in motion it went through
the Stanfords fairly but a weak spot in
the club line let the collegiars make
many long advances.
The first half closed with the ball in
possession of the Olympics on the S5-
yard line and the result was the same in
the second. The strong showing of Stan
ford has raised the hopes of the col
legians.

opposed to consulting any other power in
our American policy, and especially in

Siler, the well known sporting man, act
ed as referee. DR.. Pines weight at the
ring side was given at 1870 pounds, while
Swift weighed 1856. Joe Choynski, the
pugilist, was in attendance and Pine
wore the tights which Choynski has
worn in the majority of his battles. The
blow that put Swift out was landed on
the chin and was so hard that Swift was
unconscious nearly thirty minutes and
it took much hard work to bring him TO

The morning beams that cross the sky

On mornings breeZes blowing;

Across the Hlceful valleys,
No comfort bears within the walls,
No cheering fancies rallies.

OF velvet sod er azure sky,
Or brd-song's joyous story.
Not theirs the haunts of other days
Along the placid river:
Not theirs the woodland song of praise
To God, the gracious giver.
We give to them the daily round
OF grinding degradation;
The nightly hour Of grief profound
And somber meditation
God gives him more who wanders back,
On memory's heavy pinions,
Along life's dark and troubled track
To happy youths dominions.
The grated doors and heavy walls
Evanish like the lances
OF parting sun, as softly falls
A voice his soul entrances;
mothers voice the years have stiued.
mothers love revealing,
From out the darkness, vision-filled,
In tender accents stealing.

Mercy is Gods; our judgments lie
On logic's lines unbending;
He grants the saddened spirits cry,
The dreams of evening sending;
Within the grim, forbidding walls
The dreams of evening sending;
The sons Of men. His puppet thralls,
Within His hand contending.
