the utmost caution, as there was moth

Poorest For Years.

Columbus, o., June 5.-Wheat pros
poets are the poorest since 1866. The
Ohio wheat crop will hardly reach IA
100000 bushels, according to the report
Of the State Board of Agriculture,
which follows:
The following report represents the
condition of crops and live stock June
l, as estimated from the returns made
by the regular crop correspondents,
which returns were very complete
from the townships in each county OF
the State:
Wheat-Condition compared with
an average, 29 per cent.
Barley-Winter; Condition compar-
ed with an average, Al per cent spring
condition compared with an average
73 per cent.
Rye-Condition compared with an
average, 65 per cent.
Oats-Condition compared with an
average, 72 per cent.
Clover-Condition compared with an
average, 6S per cent.
Timothy-Condition compared with
an average, GA per cent; damage by
grub worm, per cent.

The wheat prospect has been going

Judicial Convention.

The Republican judicial Convention
of the Fourth Circuit of Ohio Is now in
session at Greenfield. At first it was
thought that Judge Russell would be re-
nominated, but the latest reports indi-
cate a doubtful situation. There are
six candidates in the field and at the
end of the twentieth ballot there was
no nomination.
The Washington county delegation
supported Judge Russell for several
ballots. S. ]. Hathaway was chosen
chairman of the delegation and w. e.
Sykes, secretary.

or prospect. as compared with an av-
erage, is but 20 per cent, twelve points
lower than the condition shown last
month. Many correspondents report
that deids which on May gave prom
ise OF fair crop so rapidly declined
during the month as to indicate al
most total failure or a very light yield
compared with an average. Only ten
counties of the state report prospect
at one-half & crop or above; thirty
nine counties at one-fourth O crop and
below, running as low as per cent.
| The balance of the counties range be-
tween a quarter and a half prospect,
the state as whole being but 30 per
cent, indicating one Of the shortest
wheat crops since 1866, when but s.
25O,O00 bushels were produced. 1t is
very doubtful II the present crop will
reach 100000 bushels.
The condition of winter barley is
low, having been affected by some of
thc SauScS tudt IHJulcu Iut "ucdl'
Spring barley shows a much better
condition, but not full average be-
cause OF drought
OF oats there is very large area
seeded, but the dry weather up to the
last of May was not favorable to
growth, hence the crop does not show
high or even average condition at
this time.
Old timothy meadows are somewhat
frozen out and have been greatly in
jured by grubworm, damage from this
source being reported to a greater or
less extent from eighty-four counties
of the state. Young timothy was in
tured by drought. but the recent rains
have had beneficial effect
Old clover was also considerably
frozen out and much has been plowed
and the ground put in other crops
Young clover also suffered from
drought, but the recent rains have had
beneficial effect.
There will be large acreage of corn
and potatoes.

Wives in Carload Lots.

Reports indicate great activity
among the Mormon missionaries, who
are said to number 1000, scattered ov-
er the United States and foreign coun-
| tries. A singular phase of this deter
mined effort is that the prosleyting of
women seems to be its main object.
Not long ago The Dispatch called at
| tention to the fact that several Nor
mon elders had arrived in the United
States from Europe with a large party
Of women whom they had converted.
Now comes the news from Denver,
| Colorado, that "a car load of girl con-
verts to Mormonism passed through
in charge of a deacon and his wife
They were pink checked, healthy look
ing girls, ranging in age from Is to 22,
gathered from villages in the middle
west, Missouri Iowa, Illinois and
eastern states"
One of the converts, Miss Jennie
Hodges, described as pretty girl, from
Peoria, Illinois, had this to say about
her newly acquired belief, which ap-
parently gives an inkling as to the
arguments used by the missionaries:
The doctrine of the prohpet has
been taught us lately in Mormon meet
ings. Now, l always did believe in
women marrying. Young women are
becoming Mormons and going to Utah
from our state all the time. | tell you
that's fact. There aren't enough ELI
gible men for all girls in the east. It's
awful to be an old maid"
1t is not much wonder that young
women anxious to marry are captured
by these emissaries, especially if they
are as attractive personally as several
OF the young Mormons who recently
opened their work on the street corners
in Columbus. These young men are
nice looking, intelligent and we'll
dressed, fluent of speech and ready in
argument. The Mormons live in a
productive state. They are thrifty
and well-to-do in this worlds goods
On the other hand, the eastern country
is filled with young women who are
eager husband hunters. Many Of
them are sentimental, not few of
them. alas! silly. Some are ready to
Jump at anything that looks like the
prospect Of husband. The result
when the sleek, well-fed, well-kept,
prosperous prosleytist comes in con-
tact with these females is easy to for
see. 1t is demonstrated in the car
load OF pink checked, healthy looking
girls" who attracted the attention of
Denver, 1t is true, as Miss Hodges
says, that in many small towns the
supply OF eligible young men able to
comfortably support wives and fami-
lies is much less than the demand.
What are the eligible young women,
who would marry if they could, to do
under these circumstances? Are they
to drift onward into the barren wastes
OF old maidhood, or will they listen to
the eloquent pleas dripping like honey
OF Hymettus from the lips or pause to
look upon the rose tinted pictures of
that beauteous garden spot beyond
the Rockies, a land flowing with milk
and honey, blossoming like paradise
and filled with lusty young disciples of
the prophet anxious for the yoke of
Hymen? They must answer for them
selves. Better still, perhaps, let some
of their parents answer for them.-
