evidence accumulated since Saturday,
together with the confession the wO-

appear that the prisoners are more

John Pentony, alias John Warner, alias

police headquarters the woman's tiny
p~ocketbook, concealed in her dress,
yielded seven diamond rings and a dia-
mond studded locket n pawn tickets
for diamonds pawned in New York
city, Buffalo, Chicago and Cleveland.
On searching the room which the
couple had occupied jewelry and other
articles were found. The arrest Of the
couple came about by accident, the
woman being taken q few nights ago

The description furnished seemed to
fit the woman, but the officers were
not certain about the man When
Pentony and the woman stepped or.
the Deer island boat they were escort

given an opportunity to tell their his

smooth one, but when the woman was
confronted with the Bertillion meas

st. Louis May 20, 1897, when arrested
for larceny, she admitted that her part
of the story was wrong. The couple
wereaccordingly locked up for a hear

reduction made In South Dakota.
Estimates Too Low Last Year.
The wheat crop Of 1901 has its inter-
esting points, as did the crop Of 1900.
Last year there was q great unanimity
Of opinion in the Northwest and in Chi.
cago that the yield Of wheat in the
three Northwest states was not above
100,0 00. 900. bushels. The government
placed the total on q basis of 10000, 900,
and It was supported In this view by all
the public estimators. My own judg-
ment was 1876. 900, 1000, and the statistics
Of the distribution Of the crop now
available show 40, 600, 900 as the approx
innate total OF the production in the
three states last year. That was a sea-
son when a considerable crop was pro-
duced, notwithstanding the popular
opinionSthat It was a small production.
Estfmates Too High This Year.
The features Of the crop this year Is
that the majority Of estimators have
erred In the opposite direction by put
ting the total yield much too high. The
gossip has been all the year that the
Northwest had q bumper" yield. The
fact is, q bumper crop, In the true
sense, would not have been realized had
there been no intense heat to blight the
crop, but q total Of perhaps 210, 900
would have been raised, q total no long
er "bumper'' In the three states, be-
cause Of the average increase since 1891.
This is q safe. conclusion, as proved by
the average size Of the wheat head this
year; 1t could not, when filled. have
produced a bumper yield for the
whole area. There 1is wheat Of splendid
yield this year In the Northwest, but
the area OF heavy yield is quite limited
in proportion to the acreage; the crop
Is distributed quite evenly.
North Dakota Saves the Day.
North Dakota has raised a 6ne crop
Of wheat-75, 900, 900 bushels. And yet
there are marked defects in the Red
River valley. But for the help Of the
counties west OF the Cheyenne river
and along the north boundary, the yield
Of North Dakota would not justify
great enthusiasm. But those outside
counties came to the rescue, and a fine
yield has resulted. rs
In Minnesota and South Dakota the
red IL Al only fair. Minnesota produces
practically the same amount as last
year, and South Dakota produces less
not a less average. but a less yield. due
to changes made In acreage.
With these general observations made
let us look somewhat at the details OF
the crop.
