JUST LIKE THE POPULISTS.
Of1ce-Holder Jones Accused of Sad
ding His Family on the State.

The Journal has received a very per-
tinent letter from some one who evil
IDENTIFY understands the situation at
the reform school. Following is the
letter:
why don't Mr.. Jones of the Reform
school have all his poor relations kept
there as we'll as his family. There are
only five of them there-children from
10 years to 1S-and they are all kept
by the state. Why can't the rest of
US tax payers take our families there
and have the state take care of them?
I think that Mr.. Jones' political debt
ought to be paid by this time"
Mr.. Jones is the assistant superintend-
emit who is charged with trying to
bring the institution into disrepute so
that Superintendent Howell may be de-
posed and he be appointed in his place.
He is evidently doing now just what
many Populist officers were censured
so much for-quartering his whole
family on the state.

PROPOSITIONS of Judge Steere, manifested
by smiles or grimaces. The mayor sat
near the jury and soon engaged a re-
porter in conversation during which ne
characterized the Mcmillan end of the
case as the biggest fraud ever perpe-
trated on anybody.
Don NJ Dickinson was one of the
PLAINTIFFS attorneys, and after the jury
had retired he called the courts at
tention to the mayors demonstration.
There was some confusion and the
mayor came forward.
What is this all about?" he demand
ed in a loud voice.
1T MEANS replied Mr.. Dickinson,
that we will see whether you can in
terfere with a court of justice and in
f1uence a court proceeding
Mr. Dickinson hotly.
The mayor made no reply to Mr..
Dickinson, but stared at him moment
and turned away.

Life is Made Miserable.
FoRT SCOTT, March 31.-Mrs. Minnie
F. Payne has filed suit in the district
court for a divorce from her husband,
Albert Bigelow Payne. Mrs. Payne al
legss gross neglect of duty, extreme
cruelty and adultery.
The last charge is not very specific,
only stating that it was committed in
New York city. The other two charges
are more specific, the main point being
that since his entrance into business in
New York he is ashamed of his wife and
has stated that his course of living in
New York is not adapted to her mode or
condition of life and that her presence
among his friends would be undesirable
and disagseable.
She asks for an absolute divorce; the
restoration of her alden name, Minnie
F. Schultz. and proper alimony.

Mr.. Keene says he hopes some time

He would play with a German com
pany, but would speak his own lines
in English, of course.
The Richard which Mr.. Keene pre-
scented to the fair-sized audience at
the Grand last night was a rather hard

he is in his decline. If one has ever
seen him at his best imagine what it
is for him to decline.
The actor is evidently reducing ex-
penseS, for there was not a single Spe-
cial stage setting. BY a misprint the
programme stated that one setting
used a great deal was "a street in
London when it was, really, a street
in Lawrence on a quiet day. The side
settings of this were the largest can
vas trees the Grand could afford, thus
showing the rural aspect of London IN
the time of Richard III. The stage
carpet at the Grand is not suited to
the sliding left foot which all Richards
affect; and the tragedian Taught his
toe in the holes and tripped a number
of times.
Keene quickly ''acclimated" himself
to his surroundings and talked as
though he were standing on Mt Dread
and conversing with some one at the
Indian school. Applause was notice
ably absent.
Keene never carries good support.

LUTHER WOODFORD'S GOLD
Administrator Bolmar Trying to Get a
Chart of Where It Was Hidden.

c. P. Bolmar, administrator of the
estate of Luther WOodford who IS
supposed to have buried a fortune
somewhere on his farm, thinks that
he has a clue to the buried hoard.
Several years ago Woodford was
very sick While on a visit in PennSyi-
vania. He thought he was going to
die and one day he called the gentle
man of the house to him He said that
there was buried on his farm some
thing that would prove of interest to
some one and he asked the man to go
to the farm after his death and dig in
a place he would indicate. He then
explained by means of chart which
he made, the location of a hiding
place.
Contrary to his own expectations
Wodford recovered and he destroyed
the chart. Mr.. Bolmar has been cor
responding with the man who nursed
Wodford through the sickness and he
has received from him a map drawn
from memory showing the location of
the supposed treasure.
Mr.. Bolmar has received numerous
letters from clairvoyantS and people
who have revelations offering 10
take him to the place where the money
is buried but he pays no attention to
them. He still says that when the
time comes he will find the money.

THE CROP REPORT.
Wisconsin is Dry, Other States Moist
Good Prospects in Kansas.

CHICAGO, March 31.--The April crop
report of the Orange Judd Farmer, bas-
ed on estimates of country correspondents,
makes the average condition of winter
wheat $500 against $3.50 last year and
87.4O in 1894
Averages in the principal states are:
Pennsylvania, 80; Ohio, 72; Michigan.
50; Indiana, So; Illinois, So; Missouri,
s.; Kansas, 81; California, 96
The improvement since December
amounts to two points Drouth last tall
followed by good rains in Decsmber,
gave strong, vigorous root growth, and
except in Ohio and along the Ohio river
in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, the
winter was favorable.
Everywhere except in Wisconsin the
ground is thoroughly saturated with
moisture, a condition in direct contrast
with last year. Prospects in Kansas are
especially promising, for with good
stand, color and plenty of moisture, it is
too early to form probable estimate of
the winter wheat crop, but the Eituation
now is a great deal more favorable than
during the winter.

Of a vast multitude of loyal Russians

Until now the emperor has not

the crowd at what seemed a foretaste
of the function so patiently awaited.
The long suspense was at last relieved.
At 1890 o'clock the cannon doomed,
followed by eight other shots. Then
there was a joyous pealing of bells,

WINTER WHEAT.
Exhaustive Reports from Severa l State.
OF the Condition of the GrOwing Crop.

OF the Condition OF the Growing Crop.
ToLEpO, o., May 22.-During the
past three days the grain firm of c. A.
King " Co. have received 1865 crop
reports from grain dealers and mil
lers. The present prospects for win.
ter wheat are very favorable in Kan
sas and most of Michigan. Missouri
and Illinois have fair prospects. In
diana Is growing worse, and promises
less than tnree-quarters of an aver
age crop, owing mostly to the
heosian fly, which is also doing harm
in some sections of Michigan. Ohio
continues Il tr;tle more than half a
crop. Eight hundred and four of the
reports say the prospect now is excel
lent; 156 predict an average crop; 247 a
tritie below an average; 4O5, three
quarters of a crop: AS, two-thirds and
loss, half a crop. Five hundred and
ninety say less than half a crop, and
come mostly from Ohio and Indiana.
The prospects average 4 trifie worse
than two weeks ago. Recent rains
have been beneficial, but some Sec
tons still complain of drought. Kan.
sas and Missouri show a slight i'm
~prOvement. Kansas suffered a little
from hot winds and hail. Missouri re-
ports some chinch bugs. Illinois and
Ohio show NO material change. Hi
nois has numerous chinch bugs, but
the outlook otherwise is favorable. In
diana has suffered materially from the
hessian fly and drouth, Ohio mas had
very little insect damage. Michigan
reported an excellent prospect until a
few days ago, when some sections say
hcsslan fly has caused material dam
age. Harvest promises to average
about ten days earlier than last year,
judging from the present outlook.
Some think it will be two weeks, while
others doubt if it will be any ca riier
