AMERICAS WONDERFUL WHEAT CROP.

The estimate which makes the Unit
ed States wheat yield of 1901 come
close to the 700,000,0 ,000-bushel mark
makes such big increase over all pre-
vious crops that it will attract earnest
attention throughout Europe, as we'll
as this country. These figures are
based on computation made by several
Independent authorities and may be
presumed to be approximately correct.
Some of the estimates, indeed, place the
crop considerably above the 700,000,000
line, but one which would reach that
figure would far exceed the yield of any
former year. A&il.Ni
Amer..ta's largest wheat crer thus far
was that of 1898, when it was 675, 600 600
bushels. Then came a heavy drop in
the yield, and that of 1900 was 522 OG0,
900 bushels The largest crop previous
to 1898 was harvested in 1891 which
was 612,O0O,O00 bushels. These two
years-1891 and 1S9S-are the only
times, previous to 1901, in which the
wheat yield has passed the 800 600, 600
mark. In 1897 the yield was only 427,-
600 900 bushels, while in 1898 it was
down to 396,O00,000. The average of
the past few years has been in the
neighborhood of 50O000,000 bushels.
Manifestly crop of 100000, 900 bushels
would be a marvellous boon to the pro-
ducer and great benefit to the coun-
try in general,
A good market for every bushel OF
wheat which the American farmer har-
vests in 1901 is ready to his hand. Al
most all of Europes wheat exporting
countries have short crops this year
Some of the countries which have been
sellers of wheat usually heretofore will
have to be buyers this year. The only
country apparently which can supply
any considerable part of Europes short
age is the United States. OF course
the average United States wheat croI
| is much in excess of that of any othel
nation, but this year it will be far In
advance of anything that is harvested
in any other country. An active de
mand at fair prices will be had for the
entire American crop. Whatever car
be spared from home consumption will
be shipped to Europe, and the total o
Americas exports, which has beeI
swelling for several years, will be still
further expanded in the next twelv'
months. These are Americas COLDER
days.

Accused Of Shooting Capt. Terry, is
Now on Trial.

hands and told of the finding of Terry
Capt. Knox testified that the boat was
200 yards from shore and was drifting
along slowly when the shot was fired
Terry, when the boat was approach
ing the bridge, was on top of the pilot
house removing some of the ornamen-
tai work and the whistle SO the boat
could clear the bridge, and had descend
ed to the Texas when he was shot. He
was subjected to severe cross exam
lnation, but his testimony was not
shaken in any particular. ri'l
Second mate Martin who assisted in
lowering the stacks, gave detailed ac-
count of the landing of the boat. He
saw the shot fired and was on the roof
when the lifeless body of Terry was
found on the roof of the Texas.
VIM. SchoonoveT who occupied a
portion of the old Bartlett house in
which Cole resided, stated that the
water was about four feet in the house
and the Keystone state was auartering
across the river toward the house
about 100 yards from shore, the wheel
moving slowly, and that Cole came out
on the roof of the porch and called
for the boatmen to stop the wheel.
the house and the shooting occurred.
Afterwards the officers came to the
house and placed him under arrest, but
Cole stepped up and remarked that if
they were looking for the man that fir
ed the shot, he. Cole was the person.
Cole was then arrested and Schoonover
was released.
VIM. Blazier, of Benwood, who was
a passenger on the boat saw the
shot fired and got a good view of the
person who fired the shot. identified
Cole as the man. Cole was asked to
stand up in court and Blazier identified
him positively.
j. B. Barrett and John Biddoe, en-
ployed at the Oil Well Supply Coz
shop, were passing Coles house in a
skiff when Cole came out on the roof
of the porch with the gun. Barrett
saw him raise the gun to his shoulder
and called to him not to shoot as he
would endanger the lives of the pass
engers, but Cole paid no heed to the
advice and fired away at the boat.
DR.. Stout was examined as to the ma
ture of the wound and the result of the
post mortem examination.
Good progress is being made and ii
is expected to have all the evidence in
by Wednesday.

trial of Sidney Cole for killing w. r.
Terry, the carpenter of the keystone
State, which was begun at Criminal
Court on Monday is exciting consider
able interest and a large number of
spectators are present in the court
room,
The rivermen are especially interest
ed in the outcome of the trial, and
some Of them are present watching the
proceedings closely, The matter G.
running their boats at the food tide
has often been commented upon, but
as there is no law to prevent it they
generally take advantage of high water
to make their regular trips. AS a
general thing they are careful in hand
ling their boats, but nevertheless resi-
dents along the river banks, whose
homes are in peril of being washed
away by the swell from the boats have
SUNSSS' WV hASLubelfeS UH numerous 0C-
tasions by firing shots at the passing
steamboats,, The fivermen hold that
the property occupied by Cole was in
no danger of being washed away, as it
had withstood the flood of 1884, when
there was nearly ten feet more water in
the house than when Cole shot Terry.
They consider Coles act wanton and
without justification.
The attorneys on both sides are
working on all these points and will
attempt to get them before a jury.
Numerous objections are being inter
posed by the attorneys on either side
when favorable point for one side OF
the other is being made.
Coles confinement in Jail has not af-
fected his spirits and his actions al
times would indicate that he scarcely
realizes the gravity of his position
The killing of Captain Terry has nc
depressing effect upon him. His sis
ter and some female relatives are with
him in the court room, and number
of his friends are also present watch
ing the proceedings closely.
Capt. Knox, the master of the Key
stone State who was on the roof OF
the boat at the time the shooting oc
Cured, was the first witness introduced
by the state. He gave clear and con-
else statement of the position OF the
boat from the time she swung from un-
der the bridge and was floating down
toward, the wharf. He heard the shot
and saw Cole on the porch of the
building with the smoking gun in his

Philippine campaign, held in the Of
fee of John Mccoy Sunday forenoon
and local organization formed.
The former members of Company
F, 51st Iowa Volunteers, who reside
in the city, weresalmost all present.
John Mccoy was made chairman of
the meeting and Bert Thompson was
chosen as secretary.
A committee consisting of John
Mccoy, owen Jones and Wilbur Bass
was selected, with instructions 10
draft constitution and by laws gov
erning the association. 1t was de-
cided that the president and secre-
tary pro tenn be made permanent and
that jesse Ellsworth be made perma-
nent treasurer.
, There was considerable discussion
over the selection of name for the
association andl it was determined
that it should be known as the Phil
ippine Veterans Association. The
avowed object of the association is
the making possible closer fellow
ship of the soldiers who served in
the Philippines. Any soldier who
has served in the Philippines win be
eligible to membership, no matter
to what company or regiment he be-
longed. His one requisite for mem
bership will be an honorable dis
charge from service in the islands.
There will bermeetings held once
month at places that will be desig-
mated by theI president. They will
be held on Sundays, as THE was found
to be the only day upon which there
could be fair attendance of the
membership.
