Failure of the Wheat Crop
This Season.

indianapolis, Ind, April 4.-Gov.
Mount, who is an extensive and scien.
tific farmer, says that the indications
are that the wheat failure will be
greater this season than for many
years. He finds there is heavy de-
mand for seed oats, which is being
sown on wheat land. One-half the
wheat ground in Montgomery county
he believes, will be plowed up for 9TH
er crops. The injury, hessays, is due
to frequent freezing and thawing and
to cold weather when there was no
snow. In Shelby county alone 1oO,.
600 acres of wheat have been plowed
up and sowed in oats. Shelbyville
merchants have sold the past week
10000 bushels of. oats for this seed.

The prospecting contingent of
Newsome's population may be
said to have moved in II body to
the scene of the Lamoreaux strike
near Elk city. AS yet no strikes
are reported by its members, but
with such indefatigable seekers as
Pettiboue, Shissler, Hopwood,
Lamb and others in that field, it
is but question of time when
something will be struck. Mike
Murray of Grangeville, is also
after it and big hegira from
Buffalo Hump to the scene was a
feature of the discovery. Every
day, men are passing Newsome

outward bound have specimens of
rock of marvellous richness to show
the gaping crowd.
IN the absence of Frank Shisslel
now enroute to California on an
extended visit, George Shissler his
estimable son, is conducting
his affairs here. George is popu.
