CORN WILL BE KING.
Thirty-fve States Show Increased
Acreage over Last Year.

Thirty-hve States Show Increased
Acreage over Last Year.
Preliminary returns to the statistieian
of the Department of Agriculture, on the
acreage of corn planted, indicate an in
crease of about /, POO, OO0 acres, or1.3 per
cent over tie acreage harvested last year
OF the twenty-five States having l,UOU,-
600 acres or upward in corn in 1888, all
but Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, len
neSsee and Kansas show an increased
acreage, and the total decrease in the hve
States named is less than 602OOO acres.
Tie increase in acreage is, in the main,
well distributed, there heiGs only ten
States and territories out OF the forty-hve
reporting that have moi larger acreage
planted than was harvested last year.
The average conditions of the growing
crop is $50, as compared with S6.o on
July /, 1899, and a ten-year average of
90.7. The condition in Iowa is lO2; IN
Missouri, l01; in Kansas aSd Nebraska,
90; in Illinois, 81. and in Indiana, 81,
Iowa being 10, Missouri y; Kansas and
Nebraska, 1. and Illinois , points above
their respective ten-year average.
The condition of winter wheat shows
a further decline during June, being SIS
on July /, as compared with S2.I on June
/, 65.6 on July 1, 1899. S5,I at the CORE
spending date in 1898, and ten-year
average of 1913. All the important win
ter wheat States except PENNSYLVANIA,
Texas and Tennessee, share in this i'm
pairment of condition, Ohio and Indiana
falling to %, and Michigan TO 40.
The average condition of spring wheat
is 500 as compared with ST.3 one month
ago, 917 on July /, 1899, % at the cor
responding date in 1888, and a ten-year
average of 500. The condition in Min
nesota has fallen to As, in South Dakota
to Al and in North Dakota to 80, these
figures being A, 45 and 60 points reSpec-
lively below the ten-year averages for
the States named The Northwestern
States have been visited by special
agent of the department within the last
ten days, and the reports of the depart
ment's regular correspondents are fully
confirmed. In Minnesota and North Da-
kota the condition of oats, barley, pas
lures and meadow lands is, like that of
spring wheat, the lowest on record,
The condition of spring and winter
wheat combined on July / was COS,
against 1872 ON July /, 1899 and S9.4 ut
the corresponding date in 1898. The
amount of wheat remaining in the hands
of farmers on July / is estimated at
about 51,000,000 bushels, or the equiva-
lent of 9.3 per cent of the crop of 1879.

and forced him to unlock the safe and

In the meantime fifth Of the band
had uncoupled the engine and the car
from the rest Of the train and joined his
companions in the engine cab. The en-
gineet vas compelled to proceed forward

The desperadoes met, divided the plumber

sociables-if it did not put a stop to

Cyrus Townsend Brady, in narrating his
experiences as "a Missionary in the
Great West" in the Ladies Home
Journal. ION one occasion, in one of
my missions, we had made elaborate
preparations Tor a great crowd, which
was kept ut home by heavy rain. A
few of us who had braved the storm
were seated in much discomfort in the
parlor expressing our opinions with the
freedom we all use in like circum-
stances. 4 small daughter of the
house, who had been an interested lis
tener, suddenly remarked during a
pause in the conversation: Now, you're
all mad at God because it's raining.

Hannn in Illinois Politics.

The heavy hand of Hanna has fallen
on the once all triumphant element of
Illinois Republicanism with ruthless
severity. The result is divided party
and the enforced continuance of feud
of singular bitterness. Too much adj
ministration intermeddling in State af-
fairs has headed the Republican State
ticket toward the rocks of defeat. II
Illinois should be found in the Demo
cratic column in November Mark
Hanna will then learn what ADLER party
managers than he have learned in the
past-that federal interference in State
politics is sure to be resented in mat
