was lying on his back on the platform

CROP YIELDS. Z
Average Much Higher Per Acre Than is
the Rule.

Washington, November l0.-The re-
turns to the department of agriculture
for November as to the rates of yield,
make the average of coru 27.3 bushels,
which Is above the yield indicated by
the condition figures in October. Lnst
year the preliminary estimate of yield
was 26.2 bushels. The average yield OF
buokwheat is 1877 bushels, against 80. l
bushels last year and 16. / for 1894.
The average yield per acre of potatoes
Is S6.8 bushels which though not phe-
nominal Is nevertheless above the aver
age for the past two years. Ths average
yield of hay as indicated by the preliIni-
nary returns is 1.36 tons, against LOG
last year.
The European agent notes the lack OF
trustworthy estimates of the Russian
wheat shortage. The advance in price
is expected to be fairly maintained and
will result in an increased acreage in
Great Britain. The wet weather in
October, throughout Central Europe was
unfavorable for the potato crop. A
good corn yield was realized on the
lower Danube.

South Berwick. November 10.-South
Berwick never before was such a
gorgeous blaze of glory as last evening.
The Republicans and Sound Money
Democrats held such celebration here
that Major Mckinley, himself must have
seen the bright lights, mostly red, and
heard the factory bells and whistles, and
cheers. From the immense bon fire on
the very top of Powder House Hill to the
arc and lncandesoent lights on the belfry
of The Triangle oompany's factory and
from D. Cummings & Co. s brilliantly
lighted factory to the Newiohawanick
Co. g mill buildings which were each and
every ole lighted from top to bottom
was the most brilliant sight that South
Berwick ever beheld.
Snap crackers, sky rockets, roman
candles and red lights galore were seen
in every part Of the town. The parade
was the best ever seen here and with G.
A. Wiggin as chief marshal it consisted
of the following companies in the order
mentioned:
South Berwick Horsemen.
South Berwick Drum Corps.
Great Works Mckinley Club.
Horsemen from Dover, n. H.
South Berwick Cadet Band.
Reed Guards of York.
Great Works Fi1e and Drum Corps.
South Berwick Water Company.
The procession started from Central
square at about 7.30 and marched over
nearly the same route as in the Septem-
ber election through South Berwick land
ing and Great Works. and the principal
streets of the village E. G. Lane & Co.,
and D. Cummings & Co., had their
factory whistles going at full blast and
The Triangle company Occupying the
Portsmouth oompany's mill) kept their
bell ringing as the parade passed them.
Nearly every house on the line was
brilliantly illuminated and decorated
with flags, bunting and portraits All
kinds of Chinese lanterns were in use.
Flags were used by nearly all the men as
buttonhole bouquets and they flashed
out from the ladies' head gear in all
directions. Silverites had evidently all
moved out of town or off the line of
march, for it would have been impossible
to have found one anywhere in town.
Following is partial list of the fine
illuminations: All the factories in town.

Everything passed off without single
hitch, and after the march was over the
companies were all given a good feed in
Newiohawanick hall. 1t can never be
doubted now that South Berwick rejoioes

victory OF Republicanism, McKinleyism,
