At this time OF year ordinarily. Il Is pos

il is no, SO this year. The season is a

there is shortage in seed for another
Planting, instead OF being we'll under way,

south central portions OF the State, whore
some planting had been done before the
setting in OF the heavy and continuous

there Is BY no means an abundance OF seed
with which TO do Il. The prospects for
high prices next season are very allurng,
and under the circumstances which usu-
ally prevail 1t would be an easy matter
to predict considerable increase In tho
acreage. But the only thlng that can
safely be yentured now is that the acre.
age will probably show slight--lf any
increase over that of last year
The lateness In planting is caused by the
heavy rains, the recent oyer1ows aud the
scarcity OF seed. The price OF seed was
so high last winter that the farmers sold
more than they could properly spare re-
serving only sufficient for one planting;
they have deferred putting it into the
ground in order to run as little risk as
possible from frost. cold weather and over
flows, and the weather which has prevailed
for the past six weeks shows that they
have been wise. The time has now come
when they must take chances and plant;
If the bad weather continues, the stand
will be poor and the crop short: IL good
weather sets in-with the fine season that
there is in the ground-the crop will be a
good one, though bit late. This sum-
mary is based on the reports which have
come from the district mentioned in tbs
past few days.

A large number of the lawyers and real

the conditions in the office of the regis
ter of deeds. A large number of valuable
papers have been lost, and no trace Of
them have been found. Relnhold Zegln
is not the only person whose deeds have
been lost.
Edmund c. Walton. informed a G b e
reporter yesterday that the deed to his
property on Sixth street, just back of the
Dayton building, was missing, and
Charles ]. Tr&bn, stated that the regis
ter of deeds h&d failed to return to him a
foreclosure certificate, although it had
been charged to him the same as If 1t had
been returned.
Both of the documents bore revenue
stamps amounting, in the case of Mr..
Walton's deed, to $50, and in the case of
the certificate to $50. 1t has been sug-
gested that possibly some person in the
office of the register of deeds, or some
person who has access to it, may have
been engaging in the business of stealing
deeds, mortgages and certificates for the
stamps which they bear. Ever since the
revenue law has been in force a surpris-

has ever been advanced for their disap-

Release OF Rosser.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The grand jury
has instructed the district attorney to lay
before them the facts relating to the
shooting of Frederick Slater by Walter
Rosser, a medical student, in Madison
Square Garden, month ago. Rosser
yesterday was discharged by city mag
istrate, Slater not appearing against him.
Rosser was charged with having killed a
man in San Francisco before coming
East, in much the same way as he
wounded Slater
Acting District Attorney John F. Nc
Intyre had long consultation today
with Assistant District Attorneys Unger
and O'Reilly. Subpoenas were issued for
the witnesses to appear.
while l do not know that the grand
jury has already commenced action in
this NATTER said Assistant District At
torney Mcintyre today, you may be as
sured that the authorities will not sit
by idly and allow a man to escape just
because a magistrate sees fit to discharge
a prisoner. You cannot settle case of
this kind out Of court" said Mr. McIn-
tyre. This is not a case of Slater
against Rosser. This is the case of the
people of New York against Rosser. Any
person who saw the shooting can be-
come complainant The setting free of
Rosser was a great mistake
