Corn Crop VIII BE short,

The price of corn must soon ad-
vance. The crop is short abroad and
threatens to be short in this country,
Nothing but a series of good soaking
rains can save the growing crop,
The Liverpool Corn trade News
estimates that the visible stocks of
the world are 80,O00,0OO bushels less
than last year at this time. In Rou.
mania, Roumelia, Bulgaria and parts
of southern Russia, crops have been
injured by deluging rainfall. The
product Of India is estimated at only
l68,000,000 bushels. France may
require 100000 more than last
season.
In this country many western dis
tricts are suffering from drouth.
This years Kansas crop will not be
over so per cent. of last years CROP
Hot winds have withered the product
in the southern half of the state, and
few fields will average over fifteen
bushels to the acre. In the southern
tier of counties. except far east, there
will be no corn.
Several days this week the ther-
mometer stood from lOS to Ill in the
south central part of the state, and
there is no crop there.

The Republicans officially an
nounce at frequent intervals that no
postmasters will be turned out until
their terms expire, but there is
hardly day that some Democrat is
not removed, the appointment OF
his successor being included in a
batch of others. The latest case OF
this kind in this vicinity is at Cadiz.
L. L. Watson was a first class official
and man above reproach, but his
place was wanted for a Republiceu
and so on Wednesday the appoint
ment OF "James Lester, vice t. T.
Watson, removed" was announced.
Lester is prominent politician of
Trigg county who wanted a reward
for his party services and wanted il
bad, and he demanded Watson's
head at once.

WANT THE EARTH.
CLAIM AGENTS DESIRE TO ACT
FOR DESERT LAND
FILERS.
They Ask Fifty Per Cent For Their
Services-It Would Be Advisable
to Wait Till Washington Can Be
Heard From, as Senator Warren
Has Been Written To.

In reference to money paid to the
government on desert land claims,
where the applicants failed to make
final proof. it is understood that GER
tain claim agents are sending out con-
tracts with powers Of attorney repre-
senting that the same can be collected
and asking half for making the col
lection. If there is any law by which
the money can be refunded to the ap-
plicants, it is not understood why
claimants should pay this e%xorbitant fee
to get their money back, and il there
is no law it is believed the Wyoming
delegation in Washington will be glad
to do it for nothing. A letter has al
ready been sent to Senator Warren up
on this subject and as soon as a reply
is received it will be given publicity.
1t will undoubtedly be to the interest
Of all parties to wait till Washington
is heard from.
There are hundreds of people in This
state who filed upon desert land, but

The preliminary hearing Of Henry
Sage. charged with the murder Of Don
aid Mckay, was concluded in Judge
Fitch's court this morning. and the
court took the matter under advise
ment till tomorrow morning at $50
o'clock.
The witnesses who testified this
morning were Drs. Harris and Miller,
City Clerk Howard and Timothy Me
Carthy.
BY the physicians the character Of
the wound WAS proved and the location
of the ball. by their testimony it was
brought out that the wound received by
Mckay was not generally considered
fatal. death depending largely upon
treatment and conditions. The ball was
located between the eleventh rib and
the peritoneum and did not enter the
abdominal cavity. Death was caused
by pe@ritonitis. engendered by the
wound.
By City Clerk Towards testimony
the date of Mr.. Sage's employment by
the city was fixed. He was appointed
Feb. 1t. 1892.
Timothy McCarthy's testimony did
not establish anything of consequence,
further than had already been proved
by the prosecution and practically ad-
mitted by the defense. He related the
circumstances of the trouble between
himself and Mckay and told how he
was knocked down and kicked. He
stated hat during the trouble, Mckay
threatened to kill him and said that
he had a knife, but that he did not take
his threat seriously; did not believe
Mckay had a knife in his hand. He
was struck three times by Mckay and
kicked in the jaw once. He did not
know Sage and did not have any knowl-
edge of the shooting. He could not
say whether Mckay had been drinking
glasses of whisky and one OF
beer; was not drunk: Mckay had fol-
lowed him up and in spite Of efforts to
get away had kept with him and finally
assaulted him: struck him first at a
point between the Globe hotel and the
corner; he then ran over to the rail-
road and here Mckay caught him and
again insisted upon fighting; had re,
fused to fight, saying he was not feel
ing well.

than try to comply with his harch con-
ditions determined to forfeit the money
paid and lose the land. 1t is true the
ruling was made more liberal after
ward, but a great many lost their land
and the rs cents an acre paid to the
government. In Justice, the rs cents
should be repaid to the parties paying
the same.
1t is true that some large corpora

cases., but II the money Is paid back

paid to the poor fellows whose names
were used, and in that way the money
would go where it would do the most
good. In the early 8Os. when the stock
business was OF the boom inthe state,
the large companies made a practice
OF buying desert rights from individ-
uals. paying about $25 each for the
privilege Under the ruling made by
Secretary Schurz this method Of filing
was legal, but when Andrew Jackson
Sparks came to the head of the interior
department, he drawed the lines tighter
and the entries thus made were worth,
less 1T is probable that t~hree-fourths
of the desert land filed upon in this
state has reverted back to the govern
ment under the rulings made by the
Sparks regime and the money paid has
been practically confiscated. Granting
that there are 1000 persons in Wyo,
ming who have exhausted their rights
in this manner, the sum paid to the
government would be $3.50, OOO-a snug
amount to return to the people of the
state.
