SANTA ANA
Col. Northam's Residence Burned-A Doctors
Mysterious Death

SANTA ANA, Aug. 23-The residence
of Col Bob Northam at La Miranda, in
the northern portion of this county,
burned early this morning. The loss is
about $4,000. The origin of the fire is un-
known. Only a few weeks ago a large
barn with its contents, in the same vi
cinity, was burned, the loss being fully
$4,000.
Dr. j. II. Garner, veterinary sur
geon, died last night after suffering ter
ribly for three days from what seems
to have been poison from contact with
bloody murrain in cattle which he was
treating. The case is q most peculiar
one and has puzzled the local physi-
clans. An autopsy was held this after
noon and portions of the spleen and
other tissues We're removed for analysis
by Prof. N. b. Pierce, the government

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 23.-The an
nual spring wheat crop report prepared
by A. w. Jones, commercial editor of the
Minneapolis Journal, covers the states
of Minnesota, North Dakota and South
Dakota and the three states are esti-
mated to have raised this year los, ,000,-
900 bushels against 195,00O,000 last year
and 12O 0OO,O 900 in 1894. The acreage used
by Mr.. Jones is 9,5Oo,00O, or about 15O0.
900 more than allowed by the agricul-
tural bureau in Washington.
The crop is not of the best quality and
it is a question whether a considerable
acreage in North Dakota and Northern
Minnesota will mature because of prob
able frost injury. No allowance has
been made for frost, however, in this
computation. The late wheat is filling
nicely and promises good yield if not
injured.

Populist Campaign Opens.

The Populists opened their campaign in
Marion county last night at the corner of
Washington street and Kentucky avenue,
with about one hundred people standing in
the street and on sidewalks to listen to
the speakers. Enthusiasm was painfully
lacking. and all attempts at cheering were
dismal failures. The part Of the crowd
who stood and listened to the speakers
through the entire programme was very
small as the greater number of people
would stop for five or ten minutes and then
pass on. satisfied with what they had
heard. and new arrivals would take their
places and keep the attendance up to the
number that heard the beginning of the
meeting. VIM. Il. Atkinson was the speak

also made short talks. Atkinson made the
statement that the newspapers of this city
