saloon of Mike Hayes at Mill Creek
near Grand Rapids, just across from
the soldiers home, on the evening of
the 9th. Henry Morse, aged about go,
who served in the war in a Massachu-
sets regiment and was admitted to the
home nine years ago from Detroit, was
struck on Il I'D fatally injured
by Harry Hollis, railroad brakeman.
This saloon is the nearest one to the
home, just across the mile limit line
fixed by law, and is "A great resort for
the old soldiers The two were en-
gagged in a game of cards and Morse
was drunk and ugly, and finally ac-
cused Hollis of cheating. At this the
two arose from the table and the for
mer drew knife and chased Hollis
about the room. when the railroad
man seized a lemon squeezer from off
the bar and hit Morse over the head
telling him to the floor.

NEWS FOR M|Ch|GANDERS.
A Whole Regiment of News Items
From Michigan Towns
CAPTURED FOR BRIEF READING.
The Monthly Crop Report Says With
Favorable Conditions There Is Yet a
Chance for Wheat - Another New
Electric Line-Other Items.
Monthly Crop Report.

The January crop report, issued by
Secretary of State Stearns on the 9th,
saws that with favorable conditions
Michigan may have fair wheat crop
this year, but To the conservative OBJ
server the chances are against il at the
present time. One-half of the CORE
spondents think that wheat has suf-
fered an injury during December.
Whether this injury is due to unfavor-
able climatic conditions or to the raw
ages of the Hessian fly, cannot be de-
termined. The number of bushels of
wheat reported marketed by farmers
in December at the Touring mills was
425, 421, and at the elevators 2Ss, 066, a
total of ia, 0s7 bushels. OF this whole
amount $50, AGA bushels were marketed
in the southern four tiers of counties,
1870, 500 bushels in the central counties
and 21,057 bushels in the northern
counties. At 81 mills and elevators
from which reports have been received
there was no wheat marketed in De-
cember. The total amount of wheat
shipped by railroads from the various
stations, as reported for November,
was 500, 341 bushels.
The average condition of live stock
in the state is reported as follows, com
parison being with stock in good,
healthy and thrifty condition.: Horses
and sheep, 90 per cent; cattle, 90 per
cent; swine, 81 per cent. Mich cows
were worth $32. "A per head. Cattle
other than mich cows, under one year
old, were worth, per head, Sl0.79; be-
tween one and two years old, S1s.79:
between two and three years old,
SIS. 30, and three years old and over,
$40. "a. The average prices of sheep
under one year old was S2sl, and one
year old and over 1887; and hogs not
fatteped were worth 50. 33 per cwt.
The prices of farm products do not
vary much when compared with those
of Jan. /, 1899. The price of wheat
shows an increase of one per cent, and
oats decrease of one per cent, while
that of corn is the same. One year ago
the price of hay showed decline of 10
cents per ton. while this year it has in
creased S2.54. The average price of
dressed pork has increased Is cents per
cwt.; fat hogs 60 cents per cwt. and
fat cattle 26 cents per cwt.
