Of the present condition at Dyea may be

Horse feed is selling at $40 per ton
and is hard to get at any price. James
says it will be cheaper for those who
cannot cross the pass this fall to Kill
their horses now and ship in others in
the spring. He says language is in
adequate to describe the terrors of the
pass since the rainy season began.

65,OOO,OOO TOO MUCH.
Dan Small Says the States Corn Es
innate is Too High. -

Daniel Small, of the cattle firm of
Small Bros, who have extensive ranch
es in Wabaunsee and Jackson counties.
says the estimate of 165 million bushels
made by the state board of agriculture
of the total yield of corn in Kansas this
year, is far in excess of what the pres
ent conditions will justify.
The state estimate" he says, was
based upon reports received by cores
pondents during the last week in Aug
ust. and do not take into account the
hot, dry weather in all parts of the
state since that time. The unfavorable
weather of the past ten days will great
" reduce the yield and seriously dam
age the quality of the growing crop. L
have been over the corn district in sew
eral eastern and northern counties and
find the damage to be greater than has
heretofore been represented. In many
fields the ear is shriveled and the stalk
and blades are devoid of life or nutri-
ment. Cattle will not eat it now, and
in a few more days ii will be absolute
ly worthless even for fodder. Much of
the corn is nothing but nubbins, fit only
for home feeding-it could not be sold
in any market. On the northern border
of the state the crop is in better condi-
tiOn. but there is nothing like a good
yield in comparison with other years.
In my judgment. if Kansas raises 100
million bushels of corn this year she
will be doing well, in the light of pres
ent draw backs"

Mrs Lucia o. Case Says the Asso
ciate Justice Story is Untrue.

To the Editor of the state Journal:
Allow me to say through your paper
that none of your many readers were
as much surprised as myself at the an
nouncement made in Tuesday ever en-,
ing's issue that I was a candidate TOR

much surprised, for no one knew as L
do. that the whole item is a clever piece
of fiction evolved from some I~ertlle ~
brain No one has ever spoken to me
on this subject, nor have L had the least
intimation from my inward monitor
that my duty lay in such line, conse-
quently I am not in the race My eN-
perience has been quite amusing IN
some instances, and quite annoying IN
some since some kind friends nave con-
ceived the idea that L wanted, or need
ed, an office Cor that the people neeueu .cleI
me in office) The most amusing was
the nomination by the Democratic con-
vention for county superintendent, Dut
the fates saved me, for after my haV1ns
received Is votes while the othef IWo
nominees both men and Democrats,
each received 8 votes. Just before al
journment a true Democrat aWaKed
them from their delusion by saying that
he was aware that 1t was dlIlcull 70
secure willing candidates, but never pc
fore had he known them to go into the
Republican party for one, or when tney
had declared against equal suffrage anu

WOOD DAVIS FIGURES.
The Statistician Thinks the Worlds
Wheat 400 Million Bushels
Short

c. Wood Davis, the statistician has
just made his first estimate of the food
conditions of the present year. He
finds that a crop below the average
has come in 1897, and that the shortage
throughout the world is greater than in
any year since 1881. In the meantime
more than 80 million new mouths have
been opened among the bread eating
races of European lineage, and these
new mouths require about $50 million
bushels of wheat and rye.
The 1897 rye crop of the world is, If
anything, more deficient than the
years wheat crop, and the most liberal
estimate of the wheat crop from data
now available, shows product less
than that of last year in the measure
of 250 million bushels, and last years

THE :.LIvINa FLAa.n
Public Schools Must Help on the Pro-
iect to Make it Win.

Col. Dan Wyatt is going to COM
mence to work up enthusiasm in the
living flag on a new line. The public
schools open for the coming term next
Monday. After the schools are organ
lied Col. Wyatt will consult with Sup
erintendent Davidson as to the best way
to interest the children and will proba-
bly, visit the different principals and
see the children personally. The living
flag is to be formed on the north steps
OF the state house and will not have to
march. A large platform is to be built
at the top of the steps for MarshaIl's
band. The old soldiers parade will
march through the capitol grounds and
directly in front of the living flag. The
cost of the costumes for the children
will be but ten cents apiece and any
one who cannot afford this but who
wishes to take part will be furnished
with the necessary costume by the COM
mittee. The costume consists of a long
cape and hood of the Red Riding
hood pattern. The flag is not limited
to girls alone but both girls and boys
from s to is years of age are wanted.
The next meeting will be at Hamilton
hail Saturday September 1S, at two

Out of Existence

New York, Sept. notwithstanding
vigorous protests and strong efforts to
obtain legislation to protect the Pal
isades of the Hudson which have been
made before both the national and state
legislatures, the work of destroying
them is going on on larger scale than
ever before.
One of the contractors who has been
taking stone from them has begun
preparations for another blast which
will eclipse all former efforts. This will
bring down the towering erag known
to boatmen and travellers and residents
as the Indian Chief. It stands oppo-
site InWood, and its rounded top Sug-
gests the head of a colossal sentinel. 1t

crop has not only been consumed. but
during the year some 200 million BUSH
els of old wheat was converted into
breadstuffs. In other words, if the
worlds crop proves as small as now
indicated, the worlds supply of wheat
for the 1S97-98 harvest year will be
more than AGO million bushels less than
was consumed in 1S96-97.
On this basis Mr. Davis predicts that
wheat and other grain will advance
materially in price before the end of
the year, and urges farmers and wheat
owners to take advantage of the situa-
tion by holding their surplus for the
promised increase in value.
