December Crop Report.

The December crop report issued
from the office of the secretary of state
on the sth does not describe the con-
dition of wheat as very fattering. The
report says:
The condition of wheat. as compared
with an average, is so in the state, "a
in the southern counties, 81 in the cen
trial counties. and 96 in the northern
counties. A large majority of the cor
respondents report wheat as being
badly damaged by the fly; a few report
the condition good. Late sown wheat,
in many instances, is as badly infested
as that sowed early, which is probably
due to the warm, dry weather of No
vember Some fields are being plowed
up for other crops; other fields are be-
ing pastured by sheep. Taken as n
whole, the crop is seriously damaged,
with little prospect for its recovery,
eventually. The total number of bush
els of wheat reported marketed by
farmers in November at the Touring
mills is 502.34 and at the elevators
166,307, or "A total OF COS. G56 bushels
OF this whole amount 53S,170 bushels
were marketed in the southern four
ties of counties. g5.S74 in the central
IOullltS anu ot.bl- puSnclS III lDe
northern counties. The total number
of bushels OF wheat reported marketed
in the four months. August November,
is 2,9Sl ,403. which is 1. $40. 1863 bushels
less than reported marketed in the
same months last year. At As mills
and elevators from which reports have
been received there was no wheat mar
keted in November. The total amount
OF wheat shipped by railroads from the
various stations, as reported for Octo-
Der, is III ,9l4 bushels. The condition of
live stock throughout the state is good.
In some counties considerable stock is
being fed for market, while in other
sections very little is being fattened on
account of the price of hay. The con-
dition of horses, cattle and sheep. in
the state, is 90, and of swine 81. In
most parts of the state fall pasture has
been good. While it has been too dry
in some parts of the state for pasture
to grow the condition for the state be-
ing 81, yet in the main all kinds of
stock have done fairly well.

Ex-atty..Gen. Maynard Iadleted.

Ex-Atty.-Gen. Fred A. Maynard, who
was indicted by the grand jury at Lam
sing on the 9th, voluntarily appeared
In the circuit court on the afternoon of
the 18th and furnished the SO, 900 bond
required. The indictment against Mr..
Maynard contains seven counts, and is
based wholly upon his alleged dealings
with ex-Chief Clerk George III. Kuhns.
The wrongdoing charged extended
throughout the entire four years of
Maynard's incumbency of the office of
attorney-general reference being made
to As monthly pay rolls. In brief, it is
alleged that when he first entered the
employ of the encouragement, Kuhns
received $40 per month, whereas 500
per month was drawn from the state
treasury on account of his salary. His
actual salary was then increased to $50
per month and $50 was drawn. The
last named arrangement continued up
to the time of Maynard's retirement
from office Jan. | last The total
amount drawn for Kuhns' services was
S4,5o5, but Mr.. Kuhns only received
So, 995.

Found $1,000 Worth Of Plumber

Judge Bateman of the probate court,
of Centerville, on the 9Th, ordered that
the residence of Mrs. Annie Define, at
Mendon, be searched to ascertain if she
had any property to pay for keeping
her at the asylum for the insane. The
officer found the house completely
filled with plumber, which she is al
legged to have stolen during the past
dozen years. There were 500 napkins,
so sheets, half ton of soap, scores of
lace curtains, silverware and bric-a-
brac of all descriptions and a valuable
shotgun, the goods amounting in value
to more than $1,000. The cellar was
also filled with stove wood. Mrs. De-
line had lived as a hermit and had
never made use of the stolen articles.
Mendon people are greatly surprised at
the result of the search.

Hamburger Has Confessed.

Henry Hamburger, the young man
arrested on the charge of numbering
John NJ. Reindel at his place of bust
ness in Detroit on the evening of the
2d, confessed all on the afternoon of
the sth. During his incarceration he
had refused to eat anything, and this
together with the occasional sweet box
questioning caused him to weaken and
he admitted all. The only reason for
committing the awful deed was for the
want of money, according to the boy
own statement After the confession
detective found S2706 slowed away
in box in the barn at the Hamburger
residence where the boy said he had hid
it. Hamburger will be granted hear
ing on the 18th

there were many narrow escapes. On

shooting Several of the British guns
were shattered by the Boer big gun.

IA British report says the Beers
are prosecuting the ends of their
Mauser bullets, thus producing an eff

1t is said the real reason for Consul
Macrums being relieved is that he is
warm Boer sympathizer and refused to
look after British interests
II is generally conceded by the Brit
ish that the Beers are tightening their
grip on Mafeking.

Brave BIZ Anthony, the marine
who reported the blowing up of the
Maine to Capt. Sigsbee, committed sui
eide in New York. owing to despond-
ency over his inability to find employ
ment. 1t is little to the credit of the
great eastern metropolis, the city
which made so much noise and fan
faronade over the homecoming of
Dewey, that a plain and simple man
who had served his country nobly could
not gain a livelihood within its bound
aries. BIZ Anthony was unfortu-
nate in the selection of a home. Had
he come to the west he would in all
probability have been alive and happy
today.

In the American Journal of Science
Mr.. Nudge says that while the present
mouth of the Grand river is at Grand
Haven, on Lake Michigan, there is an
other point seventy miles inland from
the shores of Lake Michigan which
was the termination Of the old river
valley and is therefore its mouth in
an interesting sense. He declares
that at one time a great glacial river,
three-fourths of a mile in width,
flowed across the peninsula from Lake
saginaw to Lake Chicago. Long ago
the sources of this glacial river
(Which has been called the Pewamo
outlet failed, and the wide valley,
with its record-bearing deposits, was
laid bare to give up its secrets to the
inquisitive geologist Mr.. Nudge de-
scribes its course and the river de-
posts about its old mouth.

The study of the irrigation question
by the Office of Experiment Stations
of the United States Department of
Agriculture is now being pursued by
the collation. and publication Of in
formation regarding the actual status
or irrigation in the arid regions as re-
CARDS laws, institutions, ETC. Since
few of the important streams used for
irrigation lie wholly within the limits
of any one state, and there is a great
diversity of irrigation laws in differ
ent states, interstate complications
over water rights have been frequent
and must become more and more
acute as the demand for water in
creases, unless some mode of settle
ment is devised. The departments in
quiries into these questions have been
inaugurated by a study of the Bear
River Valley. The Bear river was
chosen for this purpose because in its
course of little over 800 miles it
crosses state lines wyoming, Idaho
and Utah) five times, finally emptying
into Salt lake, which is less than fifty
miles distant from its source. thus
presenting in small compass a great
variety of interstate problems and
offering exceptional opportunities for
their study. Within 100 miles of it's
course the Bear river manages to cross
the western and southern boundaries
of Wyoming four times. In its entire
course these boundary crossings d.
vide the stream into six sections.
bitches heading in each of these sec
tions are practically independent of
irrigation laws or the superior claims
OF appropriations of water below. So
far as practical results are concerned,
the state laws do not apply. Ii is
useless to determine priorities of
bitches wholly within the state when
later ones with head gates across the
border in Utah can not be closed, be-
cause the water commissioners au-
thority does not extend that far. The
same state of affairs exists along the
boundaries OF other arid states.

The head of large corporation says
that he is tired of having letters in
yoiving thousands Of dollars delayed
because his stenographer's feelings
were hurt by a reproof for hardness.
The remark sheds light on the fact
that many corporations are supplant-
ing women by men employees. Too
many women have yet to learn that
business is business, not sentiment,
and that places are held if not always
won, by business qualifications alone.
