Conditioned Crops.

The South Dakota crop bulletin says:
The possibilities for late wheat are very
encouraging as there is time yet to pro-
duce long, full heads. Some of the earliest
wheat and oats is being harvested in local
tiles in the most southern counties. Rye
harvest is general with indications of fair
to very good crop. Early wheat harvest
will, it is thought, become general in the
central and southern counties next week.
Corn, potatoes, millet, flax and grasses are
doing finely; corn is gaining steadily and
rapidly approaching the seasonal average
OF advancement. 1t is in healthy condi-
ton generally. Much flax is in blossom.
Potatoes are very promising and new
tubers are plentiful on the market. Millet
has made marked growth and is mostly
thick on the ground. Native grass hayng
is general and the yield fair to very good.

FOUND GUILTY AT LAST,
Banker Spaldins Convicted and
Will Go to the Pen.

Charles w Spalding, ex-president of the
Globe Savings Bank of Chicago, was found
guilty Saturday of embezzlement and his
punishment was fixed at Imprisonment in
the penitentiary. The specific charge
against Spalding was the embezzlement of
bonds of Macoupin County, Illinois, be.
longing to the State University of Illinois,
of which Spalding was treasurer, and
valued at $4,000. This was Spalding's
third trial, and the evidence sub
mltted to the jury was practically
the same as on the for
mer trials. On those he was acquitted be-
cause the jury believed that he hypothe-
Gated without "intent to embezzle" The
third jury found him guilty on the same
grounds on which he was twice acquitted.
the only difference being that they took
different view of Spalding's Intentions
The prisoner took the verdict very hard,
and sat with bowed head while the clerk
read the finding of the jury. He will make
hard fight before he goes to the peniten-
tiary, and will carry the case un to the last
court. The duration OF his sentence will
be settled by the prison board of the state.
