ANOTHER BIG cRoP

If good luck a year in advance counts
for anything the Kansas wheat crop
next year should be without a prece-
dent, owing to the heavy and general
rains which have fallen recently.
When the Kansas weather starts out
1t always breaks record. The snow
in western Kansas last Friday morning
was something never before known in
the state at this time of the year. The
rains Of the past few days have ex-
ceeded in quantity any previous Sep
TENDER, as Chancellor Snow would say,
in our thirty years record.
The snow and rain have penetrated
the soil in western Kansas to a depth
beyond the memory of the Oldest inhab-
liant. In every corner of the state
copious rains have fallen and the
ground is in better condition for fall
blowing and seeding than for years
past.
That the people of the state are
pleased is a fact too well known tn
need any elaboration.

NO MORE MUSTER OUT.
All Volunteers Not Under Orders
Must Stay.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE tremen-
dous pressure is still being brought to
bear on the war department to have
more troops mustered out of the ser
vice. Efforts in this direction, however,
are of no avail 1t is announced with
much emphasis that there will be no
more troops mustered out. The situa-
ton does not admit of any further re-
duction in the army, and efforts are be-
ing made to put those volunteers who
are retained in the service as near as
possible on the footing of the regulars
in the matter of drill and discipline. An
effort is being made to eradicate the
amateurish idea of independence among
the troops and to bring them down to
the strictest discipline.
The purpose at the outset when the
muster out began was to muster out
loo, 900 volunteers A little over 96,0OO
have already been mustered out, and IL
is announced positively that there VIII
be no more mustered out, no matter
what influence is brought to bear. Inc
retention of the volunteers now IN tile
service and the efforts to improve the
morale of the army has in view tnS
Philippine situation more than that u
Cuba or Porto Rico though there IS d
great deal of vagueness as to the oah-
ger apDrehended there.

Is Captured While Pursuing Her
Calling in Chicago.

Chicago. Sept 14-1Iiss NJ. L: Derochard;
a young and pretty French girl, is locked
up at Harrison street police station,
charged with attempting burglary. As
the clerks of the Fair, large department
store were leaving the establishment,
Miss Derochard entered the store and
concealed herself under a. counter. She
remained there without moving until 2
o'clock this morning, when she made her
way into the silk department and packed
up $500 worth of silk which she intended
to carry out when the store should be
opened in the morning. She made too
much noise, however, and was caught by
two of the WatChmen.
The girl. who is well educated, has been
living in fashionable boarding school on
DrexeI boulevard. Her father is said to
be a wealthy silk merchant of Paris
France, and she received from him every
month a handsome allowance. Extrava-
can't habits and need of money to pay her
debts caused the girl to turn burglar.

rant sworn out by Henry MOZART, liv-
glarizing his house and taking there

law, came down to South Haven. Brick
er went back to Mohart's after some

only what belonged to him.
