Old and young, men, women and
children. will find the entertainment BY
the Tressi Extravaganza Company at the
Opera House ON Friday evening refined,
interesting and enjoyable. 1t was, given
at the Arch Street Theatre Philadelphia
for severa, months with much success.
This was entirely due to the pleasing
character of the performance, from the
fact that the theatre had been closed for q
year or moro and on its re-opening for
this production the audience rapidly In.
creased for each entertainment until at
times there was standing room ouly. The
scenery and costumes are handsome. the
puns are up.to-datc, and the songs and
dances are pleasing.

STATE CROP REPORT.
Wheat is Late, and Somewhat
Injured by Wet Weather.

Lansing, June t0-The Michigan crop report
for June, which has just been issued by Secre-
tary of State Gardner is of unusual i'm
portance, as IL treats of several matters not
ordinarily covered by these reports. II says
that the average condition Of wheat June lst
was in the southern counties 81, and in the
state 7s,as compared with ~ and ~ on May ist.
One year ago the averages were 96 aud H. The
lowest condition is found in the central and
eastern counties of the fourth, fifth and sixth
tiers of couhsies
Wheat Is late, and has been injured more
than usual by the wet weather. Much of 1t
low and wet land Is BADLY drowned out. A
considerable area would doubtless be plowed
up were II not seeded TO grass. The plant il
quite generally reported yellow" near the
ground The presence of insects is not noted
The number of bushels Of wheat reported
marketed in May Is 6l0975, as compared with
,'I9 reported marketed in May. 1890. 376,9is
in 1895, and sls747 in 1894, and the amount mar
keted In the 10 months, August-May, is s,955,Soi
bushels, compared with s,3l9,6i9 bushels IN
the same months last year, IO.0i7, ,is9 bushels.
in 1895, and l3I31 ,Qi5 bushels In 1894
The acreage planted to is reported ut
80 per cent of acreage In average years The
acreage sowed to oats is 81 per cent of acreage
in average years, and the average condition
of this crop n III.
The average condition OF meadows and
pastures, and of clover sowed this wear Is 9s.
Apples promise about two-thirds, and peaches
one-fourth of average crops. One year ago
the estimates were a3 per cent for apples and
~ per cent for peaches.
The number of sheep now on hand In the
state is nearly per cent less than sheared in
1926. There is loss Of per cent in the
southern counties, and of per cent in the
central counties II is probable the complete
returns will show less than is00,00 sheep &
months old and over in the state this spring.

A SERIOUS ERROR.
Graham Tax Bill Changed by In
sertiOn of a word i'm EngrOssing.

Lansing, June l0.-A serious error
was made by the house clerk who en-
crossed the Graham bill amending
the general tax law. The law
changes the time of the annual tax
sales from December to May. 1t con-
tanned the usual provisions that the
parcels of land shall be offered for
sale on certain day, but that the
sale shall be continued from day to
day until all parcels of land are of
fered for sale.
In making the engrossed copy
which Gov. Pingree signed, the clerk
interjected the word mot, so that
the law as signed provides that the
sale shall not be kept open from day
to day. In many counties the list is
SO extensive that it is an impossibili-
ty to offer all the lands in a single
day.
AS no sales will be held under the
law until next May, no action can
now be framed to secure a construc-
tion of the law by the supreme
court, and interested persons must
abide their time until the sales occur
before they can proceed to man
damus the county treasurer and de-
termine the status of the law.
