CROP REPORTS.
Favorable Prospects in Wheat and
Grain Are Generally Noted

CHICAGO, April THE Illinois crop bull
letin, issued today, says: March was below the
normal in rainfall, except in a few of the
extreme southern counties along the Ohio
river. Grain came through the winter in
fair condition only, the freezing and thaw-
ing, with only light snow protection injured
1t somewhat, but it is probable that the
lack OF rain last fall and the dry winter
caused more harm. Wheat is in the best
condition in the wet counties along the Ohio
Grasses are coming up nicely, with the ex-
cePtion of clover. Fruits are thought to be
unharmed.
CHICAGO, April THE Iowa crop bulletin
says: The season is somewhat late, but fair
start has been made in seeding and preparing
ground for planting. In the southern dis
tricts seeding of small grain is about COM
pleted In the central and northern districts
sowing spring wheat is nearly completed
with small increase of acreage compared
with last year, and considerable progress has
been made in sowing other small grain.
The soil is in fine condition. Fall wheat
and rye wintered fairly well, but were some
what injured by the high winds and freezing
weather of the past week.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, April THE crop bull
letin says: AS rule the weather has been
favorable for farm work. Wheat in most of
the southern and eastern counties is reported
as looking well, and the crop is generally
in fair condition in the northern counties.

NEW SUMMER RESORT.
st. Paul & Duluth to Have a New Ex-
cursion Point.

The st. Paul & Duluth road is to have new
picnic and excursion point on it's line this sea-
son, and, If reports be true, one which prom
1ses to vie in popularity with the older and
better established resorts. General Manager
Plough, accompanied by Passenger and Ticket
Agent Russell and Charles Monfort, of the
Windsor, returned yesterday in Mr. Plough's
private car from Chisago lake. where they
went the day before to look over the spot
which they had in mind for some time past
The road has secured sixty acres on the
lake, which between Lindstrom and Chisago
City, some thirty-fve miles from this city,
and proposes to erect pavilion and bathing
houses in time for the approaching summer.
The ground is perfectly wooded, and skirts
the beautiful lake for about two miles There
is an excellent gravel beach, and with little
Improvement in the grounds the place prom
ises to be an ideal summer spot. The conces-
sion for row and sail boats will soon be let,
and with the opening of the season the road
will run three trains a day each way The
exact date for the beginning of the season
has not yet been set

Clubs May Escane.

ALBANY, N. Y, April Under a decision
of the court of appeals today there appears to
be a possibility that clubs will handicap the
operation of the Raines excise laws. Hon. Mat
thew Hale said. after hearing the decision
THE new law distinctly levies tax for 'traf-
ticking in liquor. This opinion distinctly
says that clubs do not traffic in liquors, bu
only distribute what is their own. I thinl
its effect will be to exempt clubs from the pro-
visions of the law"

First Crop Bulletin Since the PubIi-
cation Was Resumed

WASHINGTON, April THE weather bu-
reau mas resumed its weekly publication Of
crop conditions. In it's bulletin issues today
1t says The condition of winter wheat is
reported as poor in Virginia and Ohio and
1alr IN Illinois and Kentucky, but more favor
kansas, Tennessee and New York. The re-
cent freeze has caused some injury to winter
wheat In Michigan The crop is making slow
growth in Maryland and West Virginia. No
spring wheat has yet been sown in North Da-
kota; and practically none in Minnesota. In
South Dakota spring wheat seeding is becom-
ing general, and in Nebraska and Iowa seed
ing is nearly completed. Oat seeding is gen.
orally well advanced in the states of the
central valleys. and in the Southern states
this crop is reported as doing WELL

Former knights OF the Road.

The dissolution of the monasteries had
greatly increased vagrancy i'll the six
teenth century. Rich abbeys, like that
Of Reading. employed large numbers Of
workmen and servants, who when their
masters had fallen into evil case were
thrown upon u heartless world and took
to robbery for u livelihood. The hospitia
of the monasteries in the good old days
always provided food ard u bed for
weary travellers, of whatever rank they
were, and needy wanderers sorely felt
the loss of their kind hosts. The rich
courtiers grabbed the church : lands and
wealth, and the poor folk followed their
example by grabbing whatever they
could lay their hands ON. Consequently
there were in these parts "a great stoare
OF stout vagabonds and naysterless men
Gable enough for labour), which do great
hurt in the county by their idle and
naughtie life. " The unfortunate persons
who We're robbed could claim compen-
sation from the inhabitants ON the hun
dred i'll which the robbery took place.
This old law was rs ancient as the time
of our great Berkshire king, Alfred: for
who is ignorant Of the fact that when
gold bracelets were hung up by the
roadside On account of the enforcement
of this law and the fear of the vengeance
Of the hundred no one dared to remove
them?
But when these highway robberies on
Maidenhead thicket were so frequent,
the burden Of making compensation fell
somewhat heavily On the inhabitants Of
the hundred Of Bcnhurst. Ia one year
they paid AS much AS c2J5 for robieries
Therefore a special act Of parliament
was passed in 1891 i'll order to relieve
the Inhabitants from their burdens -

The Lincoln (Neb } Post in an ac

former Rock Island lady and her
daughter, now Of Chicago:
"A very enjoyable feature OF the
program last night at the Lansing
Theatre, was the musical part OF it
Miss Hattie Marie Cooper, who so
captivated her hearers at the Lincoln
hotel the other evening, sang Bryan
and Sewell.' in the charming style
that is characteristic of her. Miss
Choppers solo was thoroughly en-
loved by the audience, and was re-
ceived with enthusiastic applause
An encore was insisted upon to
which she responded in a no less
pleasing manner. Miss Chopper has
exceptional vocal talent. an excel
lent voice. wonderfully flexible and
under perfect control Lincoln pc =
pie hope to hear her often in the fu-
ture. She has not been studying in
New York. as formerly stated in the
Post. but has received all her mu-
steal training and instruction from
her mother. Mrs. Chopper at The
close of the program. sang in a very
pleasing manner the Silver Knight
OF the West dedicated to Hon. j.
W. Bryan. Mrs. Cooper has a mag
nificent voice OF wide range and ex-
cellent carrying power.
