EXPENSIVE STEAK.
Beef Worth Nearly $50 Per Pound at
Circle City.

TACOMA March 13.-The first beef
steak that ever reached Circle City,
Alaska, sold for $4S per pound a few
weeks ago. The steak consisted of a
pound piece of the Thorp beef that
was slaughtered at Forty Mile creek,
and was carried from that place to Cir
Gle City, q distance Of $50 miles, by
Thomas O'Brien. When O'Brien reach
ed camp, the miners turned out en-
masse to see the steak. 1t was placed
on exhibition and attracted much at
tention. The prices offered were such
as would have resulted in a mining
camp quarrel or bloodshed, if it had
not been decided to rattle the steak for
the benefit Of a hospital, which Bishop
Rowe is trying to establish for the
miners at Circle City. At first only
S. per pound was offered for a slice of
the steak, but the bidding became
brisker as the meat was sliced and as
high as $35 per pound was offered.
Finally in order to avoid complications,
it was decided to sell tickets at from
SOC to $3.50 per privilege for drawing
for a slice. After $3.50 worth of tickets
had been sold, the drawing began and
was ended peacefully

HALF THE WHEAT CROP IS RUINED.
Reports FOreteH the Smallest Area
Ever Harvested in Illinois

Ever Harvested in illinois,
SPRINGFIELD. Ill, March low
ing to the rumors prevailing over the
state since early in January as to the
extent of the injury to winter wheat
by winter killing the Illinois state
board of agriculture asked for reports
on the subject from correspondents in
the wheat belt.
The reports cOrroborate the prevail
ing opinions and an unfortunate condi-
ton is noted. The reports of damaging
from this source vary from Is per cent
of the area seeded to the entire
amount the average being SO per cent
of the acreage. Last fall ATS, 600 acres
were reported seeded, and if the esti-
mate of damage is confirmed, but $751;
900 acres viii be left for harvest. In
many counties the entire area seeded
will be plowed up. A reduction of the
area seeded of 200, 900 acres, which is
reported, leaves by far the smallest
area ever harvested in Illinois
Under the most favorable conditions
from now on to harvest there is little
reason to hope for more than 10000. 900
bushels yield in the state. which is not
nearly enough to supply the home de-
mand for consumption and seed for the
next years crop.

Times Star special from Frankfort, Ky,
says: Gov Bradley has just announced
that he will respite the sentence Of
Walling for four days. This, coupled
with the announcement Of last night
that Jackson must hans, means that
the governor intends giving Jackson
every chance to make a confession,
clearing if he SO desires, his companion
in crime. Jackson will surely hang
Saturday, and every effort will be made
to get him to confess before he meets
his death. Jackson undoubtedly holds
