WHEAT CROP A FAILURE.
bad News From the sacramento and
SAN Jonquin valleys.

San Francisco, Cal, May 12.-Reports
from Associated Press correspondents in
the Sacramento and San Joaquin valley,
the great wheat-growing sections of the
state, say that the wheat crop of this
year will be almost a total failure. In
Sacramento and adjoining counties the
outlook is decidedly gloomy. Wheat has
not yet headed and most of it will be
cut for hay. There is a general belief
that here viii not be enough wheat this
year for seed. Enormous Quantities of
corn are being brought from Kansas and.
Nebraska to feed stock. Advices from
Stockton state that not more than 10000
tons OF wheat will be harvested this year
In Fresno and adjoining counties the
wheat crop is regarded as a total loss.

Railroad Machine shops and Turpen-

Waycross, Ga. May 12-The machine
and repair shops Of the Wayeross Air
Line Railroad Company, near the Air
Line depot, were totally destroyed by fire
this morning shortly after midnight.
The fire department responded quickly
TO the alarm, but too much headway had
been gained for their work to prove ef-
fectual. The shops were valued at $4,000.
They were insured for only $1,000 in the
Hamburg Bremen Company, Lott & Muir
ply, agents. The fire was probably Of in
cendiary origin. The company's shops
were burned at Waltertown a few week q
ago. They were rebuilt here. The COM
pany will rebuild as soon as possible. The
fire cost them not less than 5000.
Waycross. Ca. May ia turpentine
still, belonging to c. w. Deem & Co. at
Beach, on the Waycross Air Line Rail-
road, was totally burned this morning.
The loss was about $500, uninsured. Stills
are not considered lnsurable risks. and
when one is burned the loss is borne by
the owner.

The sensation of the week in New
York has been the retirement of Viola
Alien from the head of the Empire
Theatre company; this will be a heavy
blow to Frohman. and the vacancy will
be hard one to fill. There seems to be
no doubt that Miss Allen threw up an
important position and a large salary
because she did not think she could
maintain her self-respect and continue
to act in a play of such doubtful NOR
ais as The Conquerors." If this is
really the case the public should take
some emphatic means of letting Miss
Allen know that she stands immeas-
urably higher in its esteem than she
ever did before.
Mr.. George w. Thatcher jr, baritone

said O'Neill plays this version by his
permission. He will also essay THE

plays, for a popular priced Saturday
matinee. The piece left a vivid i'm

here, and is sure to attract a great
audience. Nothing that the theatre

Dear Hal: April ..
In Kentucky it is said If you shy

it can be said with equal truth that
if you let fly stick it will light on
an amateur actor. 1t almost makes one
dizzy to attempt to keep track of the
budding, blooming, teaming talents in
the histrionic line which are putting
forth their shoots with the opening of
spring. There are opera singers ga
lore, musicians like the sands on the
sea shore, and dramatic clubs OF such
number and variety that no one has
dared to count them. Miss Babcock's
clever tudents-juveniles some of them
might almost be called-are the latest
plants to venture their heads out of
the EARTH; promising plants some of
them are, too, and very excel ient GER

furnish for their teacher. A bit too
ambitious. perhaps. is ''Pygmalion and
Galatea" for an opening venture. and

theatre, but the demands it made on
the young players showed what they

who. by the way, are going TO venture
on something else in the near future
there are degrees of excellence among

Not for a long time past has there
been such a lively week ahead in
amusement circles as that which opens
tomorrow night. The bill of fare is
such that every taste is certain to be
satisfied The most interest will prob
ably be divided between James O'Neil,
who puts in five nights and a matinee
at the theatre. and the Welsh singers,
who are to be heard in connection with
the tabernacle choir Saturday evening
at the tabernacle. The Grand will run

A LIVELY TIME IN COURT,
WILLIAMS AND EVANS EX.
CHANGED CoURTESIES.
Short Line Attorney Called Evans
An Outlaw and the Latter De
clared 1t Was Necessary to Fight
the Devil With Fire.

Evans & Rogers have begun suit
against Margaret Kennedy and a num-
Der of other heirs of the late Patrick
Kennedy. for S1,44O.2O for legal services
and for money advanced them.
This action is one issue in a three
corncred dispute, the other partici-
pants being the Oregon Short Line
Railroad Kennedy, a passen-
ger. was killed in the Malad bridge
wreck last April and Evans & Rogers
brought action for damages in the sum
of $50, $50 in behalf OF the widow and
children. Pending the trial OF the case
the railroad company secured a settle
ment of the claims. Mrs. Kennedy sign
ing for herself and as guardian of her
children, abandoning the claim for the
sum of So, 500. She received $500, it is
claimed, and was to get the remainder
when the signatures of the other claim
ants had been attached.
Evans & Rogers had no notice and
were not consulted in regard to the
settlement and it is alleged that undue
influence of Bishop GlerieuX Of the
Catholic church was used TO bring
about the settlement. The attorneys
garnisheed $3.50 of the amount and
now IL is claimed the widow is anxious
to set aside the contract for settlement
and have the contract ~repudiated. 1t
is to be urged hat the widow had not
the authority to sign as guardian with
out permission of the court.
The case was ser for trial yesterday,
but the defendants attorney objected
and asked for a continuance. This
brought the l~iveliest kind of a tilt be-
tween Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Williams.
The latter pleasantly referred to Mr..
Evans as a legal outlaw. who promptly
acknowledged the soft impeachment, if
10 protect the rights of widows and or
phans were outlawry. Mr.. Williams al
iuded Is the suing OF said widows and
orphans as a peculiar method of pro-
tecLing their rights and Mr.. Evans said
something about fighting the devil with
fire or words 10 that effect. As the
terms were growing less and less en-
dearing the court peremptOrily set the
case for hearing Tuesday next.
