BIG BERRY CROP.
Thousands of People Will Be Needed
to Handle It.

St. Louis, May 19.-Reports from
southwest Missouri are to the effect
that the strawberry crop in that local
ity is turning out much better than was
anticipated.
The berry season in that section is
much later than usual, but the quality
of the berries more than compensated for
the delay. By next week the berry
picking season will be at its height and
thousands of men, women and children
will find profitable employment while
it lasts.
r. P. Thompson of the Excise COM
missioner'S office returned yesterday
from a visit to Barry county, and he
says that all trains are now being de-
layed on account of the berry shipments
and that the crop is much better than
former reports would indicate.
Very few of the berries raised in that
part of the state find their way to the
ST Louis market, but are shipped to the
northwest. Within the last three years
the industry has grown to immense
proportions. Like the apple crop in
Missouri, Strawberries never score a
failure.

FOR TURBULENT WOMEN.
A New Cell Has Been Built at the
City Prison.

Since the thick glass was broken out
of the windows in the women's ward of
the city jail by Mary May, the notorious
colored woman who was in a drunken
delirium, the board of police commits
sioners set about to have a means of
controlling such people when taken into
custody.
When the new addition was made to
the Jail last fall, no barred cells were
provided for the women's ward. The
windows were not protected, the bars
being placed on the outside of the win
dow openings.
The need of a cell was not made ap-
parent until Mary May broke nearly all
the glass in the two rooms, broke all
the chairs and attacked an insane wom-
an who was being held at the jail
pending her trial in the probate court.
But there is new cell now in the west
room of the women's ward. 1t is six
feet long and four feet wide. 1t is made
of hard pine timbers and it would take
a modern Samson to break it. When
drunken or insane women are taken in
to custody, the new cell will prove very
valuable, and it will save glass and fur
niture bills.

ILL. POPULISTS SPLIT.
Middle-of-the-Roade Controlled the
State Convention.

Springfield. I'LL, May19.-The Peoples
party split in state convention here. The
middle of the readers won and named
the following ticket:
State Treasurer-John w. Hess, Mil
ton.
State Superintendent of Public In
structions-Charles NJ. Haskins. Chi
cago.
Trustees of the State University-A.
c. Vantine, Zola; DR.. Mary Branch,
Lincoln, and Jane Adams, Chicago.
Charles E. Adams, of Noble, was re-
elected chairman of the state commit
affirmed with the addition of clause
declaring against fusion with the DEM
ocrats.
Howard S. Taylor, Chicago, with sew
Chicago, favoring fusion, bolted and
left the convention when Chairman
Palmer announced that the delegation
headed by Frances r. Cole was the duly
authorized delegation from Cook cOun-
ty. The Taylor delegation was beaten
in the central committee meeting by a
vote Is to 40. This test of strength
came on the election of temporary
BelIeville, the middle of the road can
didate, receiving the nomination. j.
A. Crawford, of Springfield, was the
fusion candidate. When Chairman
Wickline was introduced he declared
against the alliance made with the
democrats in 1896. This was received
with prolonged applause by the middle
of the road men.
Taylor started the fight when he
asked for the enrolment of the dele
gates. Chas. E. Palmer offered the ma
jority report of the committee, which
recognized the delegation headed by
Frances R. Cole as the duly authorized
delegation from Cook county. Taylor
made an effort to offer a minority re-
port, but the chairman ruled that he
was out of order and had no voice in
the convention, as he was not a recog-
nized delegate. The decision was re-
ceived with deriSive cries by the Taylor
crowd, and the greatest confusion pre-
vailed. While the middle of the road
followers tried to perfect their organi-
zation for the transaction of business
howl and the formal business of ap-
pointing the committees was transacted
under the gavel.
Taylor finally obtained recognition
and in a heated speech formally with
drew from the hall, followed by his
crowd. They marched in a body to
another hall, where the preliminary
steps for another Peoples party con-
vention were taken. At this convention
F. A. Crawford, of Springfield, was
elected chairman, and Henry NJ. Miller,
of Waverly, was chosen secrtary.
A resolution was adopted reaff1rn-
Louis, declaring allegiance to the alli-
ance made with the democrats and in
dorsing Bryan and free silver. The re-
port authorized the selection Of a new
central committee to arrange for a con-
vention to be held simultan eously with
the democrats, on July II next, so that
a fusion ticket may be arranged.

BIG CROPS IN NEBRASKA.
Last Years Heavy Wheat and Corn
Acreage Greatly Increased.

Omaha, Neb., May 19.-Most extraor-
dinary crop conditions prevail in Ne
braska- The state board of agriculture
has been receiving statistics during the
past ten days from each county show
ing the acreage of all cereals, progress
of the work, condition of winter wheat
and a comparison of cereals with the
acreage of 1897. The replies are very
complete.
In substance, the reports agree that
the crop of winter and spring wheat
according to acreage in sight, is almost
one-third heavier than last years big
acreage. There is a greater percentage
of spring wheat, because much more
was put in this spring after the war be-
came imminent and wheat took a shoot
upward
The same theory accounts for the ex-
traordinary increase in the corn acre
age. About one-fourth more acres will
be put in corn than last year.
Last year was a record breaker for
cereal acreage in Nebraska, therefore
the increase this year brings the acre
age way above anything of the kind in
the states history. Other grain is in
similar proportion.

BABY BORN WITH WINGS.
Peculiar Freak of Nature at Barker
New York.

Barker, N. Y, May 1e.-Every baby
is thought to be an angel, but 1t seldom
that one is born with wings.
An exception to the general rule mas
been made in the case of a boy baby
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Fem in
this township The child is now three
weeks old, and differs only from the or
binary baby in having two peculiar pro-
tuberances on it's shoulder blades.
These are V-shaped and covered with
a fine webbing. They appear like the
formation of a pair of wings, and phy-
sicians who have been consulted decline
to undertake their amputation, fearing
that they are connected with the spine.
Last fall Mrs. Fem had a battle with
a ferocious hawk that was trying to
steal a chicken. The bird beat her
about the face and head with its wings
but was with difficulty driven off. This,
1t is thought, may have been the cause
of the strange growth.
The child is well, and does not seem
inconvenience by its wings.
