THE APRIL CROP BULLETIN
Issued at Washington Says That
the Wheat Crop is 0. X.
9l.7 PER CENT OF A CROP
for the Past 10 Years, May be Blasted
by the Pesky Hessian Fly, which is Re-
ported From Many states.
wheat Crop In the U. S. is O. X.

The April report of the statistician
of the department of agriculture will
show the average condition of winter
wheat on April to have been OH,
against s2.1 on April /, 1900, 77.s
at the corresponding date in 1899, and
$50, the mean of the April averages of
the last 10 years. The averages in the
principal states are as follows: Penn
sylvania, 50; Ohio, SO; Michigan, 70;
Indiana, 50; Illinois, 92 Texas, CO;
Tennessee, 81; Missouri, 9s; Kansas,
los, Nebraska, 100; California, 100, and
oklahoma, 81.
While the general average of condi-
ton, OH, is the highest since 1891, the
presence of the Hessian fly is reported
from an unprecedentedly large mum Der
of states, and serious misgivings pre-
vail, even in states reporting fairly
high condition on April /, as to the
possible developments of the next 30
days.
The average condition of winter rye
on April /, was 93.1 against 81. s on
April /, 1900, 81. 8 at the corresponding
date in 1899, and $50 the mean of the
April averages of the last 10 years. In
New York and Pennsylvania it was 90,
in Illinois and Kansas 100, in Indiana
%, and in Michigan and Ohio 90.
Pending the forthcoming publication
of the census report on live stock,
which will be used for the verification
or correction of the departments fig
ures for the year 1900, the statistician
has temporarily discontinued his own
estimates of the NUM- Der and value of
farm animals. While this omission
renders it impossible to make any def
mite statement as to the losses from
disease and exposure during the year
ending March, 1901. (the losses being
reported as percentage Of the total
number of farm animals), the reports
received from correspondents leave alb
solutely no room for doubt that, owing
mainly to the general mildness of the
past winter, such losses have been
much below the average of a series of
years.

Hammond Must stand Trial.

A jury was secured on the Sth for the
trial OF ID. Judson Hammond, of Pom
tiac, who is charged with having So
licited bride while member of the
state legislature of 1899. Hammond
was indicted by the grand jury, two
bills being found against him. At the
opening of court on the above date
Prosecuting Attorney Tuttle an
nounced that he would ask the court
to nolle pros the case against Ham
mond which had been brought under
the statute and would try the respon-
dent on the common law counts. Dis
trict Attorney w. d. Gordon, who is
associated with II. NJ. Zimmerman in
the trial of the case as defendants at
torneys, argued motion TO quash the
Indictment which had been pending
for nearly year, but Judge West
could not see il that way and refused
to grant the request.
1t took the jury just 20 minutes TO
convict ex- Rep. ID. Judson Hammond
of Pontiac, of soliciting Jas. A. Coye,
of Grand Rapids, to commit felony
by Offering him n bride. Judge West
concluded his charge at exactly 5
o'clock on the 10th and the jury at once
retired. In 20 minutes they returned
verdict of guilty. Only one ballot
was taken.

A oaeer Religious Sect.

Supervisor w. S. Wotring, of Ogden.
Lenawee county, together with some
residents of South Fairfield, were in
conference with Prosecuting Attorney
Sampson and Judge of Probate Lar
will, at Adrian on the 9th, in regard to
queer sect that have held out at
South Fairfield for year or two. The
sect is made up of four or five families.
the members of which formerly be-
longed to the United Brethren church
of that place. The leader of the new
religion is Gus Wagner. 1t is alleged
that Wagner has become deranged over
religion. 1t is said the new sect be-
lieve that its members are vested with
a new life. As an example, Charles
Hagadorn, one of the new sect, was
asked by his brother why he did not
call to see his mother, who is quite i'll.
''Why, / have no mother. My name is
not Charles Hagadorn; he is dead. l
am a new man, was the reply he made.

Monthly Crop Bulletin.

In the Michigan crop report for
April, issued on the 9th, Secretary OF
State Warner says that during March
the low-lands in some sections of the
state were covered with water ami
some damage was done to wheat In
formation in regard to wheat varies,
some correspondents thinking that
prospects for a crop are fair, while
others are of the opinion that it will
again be damaged by the Hessian fly.
Correspondents generally agree that
the crop wintered well, but in many
parts of the state the plants are full of
flies ready to begin their ravages as
soon as conditions are favorable. Some
are expecting parasites TO decrease the
work of the fly, but it is difficult to es-
innate this factor so early in the sea-
son. Warm, dry weather will favor
the fly, while cold, damp weather will
be unfavorable to the Matching of a
spring brood of the insects. The aver
age condition OF wheat in the state is
so, or l6 better than it was last year
at this time. The average condition
of meadows is 90 for the state; horses
and swine, 96; sheep, rs; cattle, "a.
There are some reports of large loses
of spring pigs, and also that sheep and
lambs are dying in some parts of the
state.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
The Wife and Mother-in-Law of Mr.
Charles Keys.

CLARISSA, Mimi, April 10, (Spe-

better known or more universally re-

local School Teacher and his estima-
BILE wife, and mother-in-law. For a
long time, Mrs. Keys has been in i'll
health. Recently, however, she has
found cure for her ailments in Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Il cannot speak too highly Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, or Of what they
have done for me-" said Mrs. Keys.
My life was miserable, my back
always ached, also my head. I was
troubled with Neuralgia in the head
and face and suffered extreme pain,
but thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills, all
those aches and pains have vanished
like the morning dew, and IL now
seems that life is worth living. I con-
slider Dodd's Kidney Pills God-send
to suffering humanity. They may
rightly be named the Elixir OF Youth.
While speaking Of my own case
and the wonderful benefit l have re-
ceived, I might also add, that my
mother, who is now an old lady Of
"a years and who lives with me, has
been troubled more or less, with aches
and pains, as is natural with one OF
her advanced age When she saw
what Dodd's Kidney Pills had done for
me, she commenced to use them her
self, and she says that they have oone
her more good than any other medi-
cine she has ever tried
This testimony is given in the
hope that others who may be af-
fiicted as we were, may see and read
it, and be benefited by it."
What Mrs. Keys states in her letter
can be verified by reference to any OF
her many friends in this neighbor-
hood. Dodd's Kidney Pills have al
ready wonderful reputation in Todd
County.
Nothing has ever cured Bright's
Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

PEOPLE LIVE ON PEANUTS.
Scot In vancouvers That Practices New
Theory Relative to Food.

A peculiar religious sect, the feature
OF whose singular beliefs is based upon
the eating OF peanuts as their principal
article OF food, is thriving in Vancou-
yer, and throughout British Columbia
There are 200 members in the new
church In Vancouver, and their num-
bers are growing daily. Six months
ago the sect was first formed as
branch OF the Seventh Day Adventists,
and now II has gone so far as to erect
mills equipped with machinery for the
grinding and manufacture or various
kinds OF food from peanuts. In abb
stract belief, one of the principal opin-
ions held by the new organization is
that Christ will appear on earth within
a few months, and perhaps within only
a few weeks. They therefore wish to
be prepared, in order that they may
shuttle off this mortal coil" with no
difficulty. That they might be able
to do this when the time comes they
made searching investigation OF the
most healthful and purest foods and
came to the conclusion that peanuts
were the most proper diet Their
leader, James Chairman, who was for
merly a minister in the Adventist
church, was sent to New York and
there made a contract for a large
weekly shipment of peanuts to Van
couver. Suitable works have been
erected and equipped with machinery
and now all kinds of peanut products
are being turned out. The peanuts are
first boiled and then ground into a
meal, and are used to make nearly
every kind OF baked and cooked dishes
in which flour is ordinarily employed.
Brazil nuts and walnuts are used by
way of variety. but these three consti-
tute almost the entire means of sus-
tenance of the 200 persons in Van
couver who belong to this queer sect.
Several missionaries of the new move
ment have lately been sent out through
the province and they report that they
are making good Roadway in the con-
version of people to the strange belief.
