FRENCH CROP ESTIMATE.
Yield of Wheat and Rye Below the
Ten-Year Average

Ten-Year Average.
WASHINGTON, Oct 12-The depart
ment of agriculture has given Que the
following statement, prepared in the Office
of the statisticial of the department.:
Next TO the wheat crop of Russia, that
OF France is the largest in Europe, and
the official estimates in regard to it are
est The preliminary official estimate Of
the crop of 1901 has recently been issued
as has also that of the crop of rye and
masl1n, the crop last named being COM
posed of wheat and rye grown together:
1 Crops o d9o L. Crops 19oO-bu.
Maslin $50, 40. Maslin -. 9,115118
Rye ,... g., 1865 SIT Rye ........ 6,276 755
All the three crops are below the aver
age for the ten years from 1891 to 1900
inclusive. In the case of wheat the
deficit is 21,S72,549 bushels In comparison
with last years, and 9,3S4,51S bushels IN
comparison with the ten-year average
That the unfavorable METEOROLOGICAL
conditions for the present year have not
caused larger reduction in the wheat
CROP than the estimates indicate is at
tributed by the Bulletin des HalleS to an
increasing use of fertilizers as conse-.
quence of which there would, under nor
yield, while under actual conditions the
effect is seen in yield not so far below
the yield of previous years as the char
acter of the season would have led one
to expect.
The estimate for maslin as given
above, makes the crop only 224979 bush
els less than that of 1900 but 2159. 575
The rye crop. as now estimated. ex-.
ceeds that of last year by 3,OSS, S62 bush
els but falls short of the ten-year aver
age by 2,520266 bushels.

his place was well filed by Assembly,
man Benson.
The meeting was called for O'Clock,
but it was not until forty-five minutes
later that Vice President Whitcomb
called the meeting to order. Aid Dob

OF our members are evidently detained by
an unusual business engagement. One of

ing, and the other, as our president, has

Assem- blyman Benson said he had come
fully prepared to take part in the de
liberations, but he would have to protest
against any further delay, as he desired
to leave the cityoat once.
On this Assemblyman Haas moved for
an adjournment until Monday at o'clock
and the compromise was accepted. What
was said of the absentees as the mem
bers hurried out of the chamber was not
complimentary.
To friends who approached him, AS
semblyman Benson said he was going to
vote for Arend as he thought the con-
troversy might be settled at once. He
intimated however, that if Mr. Arend
did not land the votes necessary, he
would go over to someone else.
Bantz no longer than a week ago in
him, of his pledge to another man which
he positively would not break. Should
he stick to this determination and at
tend, the third meeting, which has been
called for tomorrow afternoon, will come
to naught as the others.
Ever since the opinion written by the
legal department, DR.. Schiffmann> has
shown a decided reluctance to name the
candidate through the medium of the
common council and it is expected that
his absence yesterday was actuated by
this fact. He says he did not sign the
call for the meeting, but issued the sum-
mons for the gathering out of courtesy
to those who asked for it.
The Republican members of the two
bodies yesterday again announced their
intention of staying away from the meet
ing called for tomorrow. They practical
ly hold the key to the situation, unless
some of the missing Democrats can be
induced to attend.

SENG IN The FIELD
OFFICIALLY FILES INTENTION OF
CONTESTfNG FOR THE
MAYORALTY
OTHER NAMES IN SIGHT
MIR. Sene's Enterprise in Entering
Field First Not Likely to Head
OF Other Republican
Candidates.

The honor of being the first avowed
candidate for mayor on the Republican
ticket belongs to Robert H. Seng. In
compliance with the new p<in1ry law,
which demands of all VINO would chase
the elusive honor written declaration of
the same, Mr.. Seng filed his name yes
terday with County Auditor johnson and
accompanied it with some hard coin, a
nice bright $40 gold piece. This is the
price demanded of all who make the race
for any office in the gift of the people.
In view of the fact that A. r. Kiefer,
eX-Mayor Doran and a host of others
are booked to lead the Republican hosts
on to victory in as far as this particular
office is concerned, Mr. Songs appear
ance in the ring furnished plenty OF food
Tor gossip when the news became public.
Some claimed Mr.. Seng's early appear
ance was due to desire to get in on the
ground floor and beat out the others by
h"ring his name at the head of the ticket
w 1t is made up for the primary, but
the scheme of first come, first entered,
does not appeal to County Auditor John
son.
This may be required in the regular
election ballot, but it is largely optional
with me how 1 place the entries on the
primary ballot" said Mr.. Johns yes ,er-
day. Il can enter them as filed, alpha
betically or any way see fit
To those who have attempted to ac-
quaint themselves with the new primary
law, the act is about as complex as any
thing they ever tackled, and many are
the controversies that have arisen over
some disputed point. In one way it will
be revenue producer for the city, as
every fee of $40 collected must be turned
over to the city treasurer The printing
of the ballots and other details falls upon
the county 9UdjtOr and the coI1j1 r., must
consequently pay the bill, an odd fact
some of the commissioners think, when
the county is not even represented on
the ballot.

COMMON COUNCIL IS SPARSE
LIZ ATTENDED
REPUBLICANS STAY AWAY
Choice of a Successor to WhitehOrne
Is Apparently as Distant as
1t Was Two Weeks
Ago.

The vacancy on the board of county
commissioners caused by the removal OF
George B. Whitehorne still remains I'M
filled. The common council yesterday at
tempted to close the breach, but the best
the leaders could do was to get together
nine men, who after an hours weary
wait, in the hope that absentees might
show up, were compelled to adjourn be-
cause of the lack of a quorum.
Unexpectedly Assemblyman Benson,
one of the Republican members of that
body was on hand, but while, he filled a
void the emptiness of the chamber was
only made the greater BY the absence of
President Schiffmann and Aid. Bantz.
DR.. Schiffmann, through the phone, gave
a pressing business engagement as his
reason for staying away, While Bantz
proved a missing quantity, that no
amount CT telephoning or arguing could

ATHLETES FAILURE.
Was Not "A Success Until He Was Put
on the Right Food.


Cecelius x. Hale, of III Barclay St.,
Baltimore, Md, now quite famous rum
ner, has had some interesting experience
in regard to proper feeding. His testi-
mony is worth the attention of any
athlete, or in fact, of any person who
cares for good sturdy, powerful health.
Up to about Is months ago 1 had been
in many athletic contests, without much
success. I about made up my mind it
was time to stop but a physical director
of the Y. M. c. A, of this city. advised
me to use Grape Nuts food and Postum
Cereal Coffee as principal factors in my
diet.
I accepted the advice and today am in
possession of perfect health, and a great
many medals won in different athletic
events. can now run race and finish
in fine condition, whereas before I started
on the right diet, would find myself in
faint at the end of race.
Formerly l had more or less nervous
trouble and severe headaches. 1 am glad
to say since using Grape-Nuts and
Postum Food Coffee I have forgotten
what headache feels like. My heart is
in perfect condition, whereas while l was
using ordinary coffee it would not stand
the heavy strain. This statement is abso-
lutely true, and do not object to your
publishing it, for it may bring back
health and strength to some poor being
suffering from i'll health, caused by the
use of improper fool =
There is a reason for this; in the first
place, ordinary coffee will show its eff
fects somewhere in the nervous system
frequently in weakening of the heart or
in stomach troubles, which prevents one
from obtaining the strength and value of
food. 1t is. therefore, necessary to quit
the use of this drug, and in its place
use Postum Cereal Food Coffee and
Grape-Nuts Food 49,
They were both invented by a food ex-
pert and are made at the famous pure
food factories of the Postum Cereal Co,
Ltd, at Battle Creek, Mich This food
and the food drink are both made for a
definite purpose, and there are thousands
of users. throughout the world that can
testify from practical experience, that
the theory is borne out by the facts.

HOTEL RUNNERS DEFIANT
WILL ENDEAVoR TO PROVE THEY

In the police court next Tuesday will be
heard arguments tending to show that
the hotel runners ordinance passed by
the council is unconstitutional
In order to bring the matter to an issue
Charles Albert, owner of a small hotel
or Sibley street, permitted himself to be
arrested yesterday for soliciting in the
vicinity Of the union depot. He was pre-
sented in court yesterday, and at the re-
quest of his attorney, E. E. Mcdonald,
the case was continued until Tuesday
that arguments might be heard
Albert is sbeing backed by owners of
other small hotels, and they hope to be
able to show that the annulment of the
traffic is in opposition to the charter,

went into effect the runners have kept at
a respectful distance from the entrance
