Crop For S1.5O Per Acre.

Abilene, May 31--A Kropff, whose
prophecies upon crops have gained him
Considerable reputation, has taken an ac-
ton which will at least convince people
of his sincerity.
This spring Mr. Kropf had vision and
he said that wheat would not average
i've bushels to the acre. He has about
forty-fve acres of wheat of his own. and
he and his sons own as much more. Tues
day he sold at least one-half of the entire
ninety acres to c. c. Stevens of this city
forr $50 per acre. By the terms of the
sale Mr. Stevens is to harvest the crop
if there be any to harvest
The wheat at the present time is in
fine condition, vet Mr.. Kropff is so con-
WINGED in the accuracy of his vision that
he thinks he has made a good bargain.

and seven Of them-five girls and two
boys were drowned. The victims. all Of

The young man saved is John Moore,

The party was composed of members
of the EIms Social club. They with a
large number of others. most OF whom
reside in the southern section of the city,
organized a picnic. They embarked in
gaily decorated wagons early in the
morning and pitched their camp at Rose
Glen. along the Schuylkin river. on the
northern outskirts OF this city. The par
ty split up after dinner for a row on the
river.
Heavy rains during the past week had
made the muddy stream quite high, and
the current was much swifter than rs
ual. However, the unfortunate party
Immediately struck out for midstream-
All the girls were huddled in the stern,
one OF the boys was rowing, and the
other was sitting on the bow of the
boat. After getting in the middle of the
river and finding the current too swift
for comfort, the boat was roved in
toward the shore. During this time il
was carried slowly down stream. The
boy doing the rowing decided to go
through the locks, and as he approached
the dam he was warned by the lock-
keeper not to approach any closer. The
warning was not needed and the young
oarsman kept on rowing until he found
that the lock was closed He attempted
to turn the boat, which was then about
SO feet from the dam and rs feet from
the shore, but he turned the wrong way
A moment later and the boat was IN the
swiftly moving current Realizing then
for the first time. that they were IN
danger, the girls began screaming. and
the oarsman lost control of the boat
Swiftly It was carried toward the brink
Of the falling waters and Just as it
reached the breast OF the dam. over
which SO inches Of water was Passing.

TAX DEEDS ON CHURCHES.
An Oxford Man Gets Tax Titles to
Two Churches in That City.

Wellington, Kas., May S1.-There are
co1nical as well as other phases Of the
present scramble for city property. For
years the county has been carrying the
taxes on a long list of town lots in
every city and town of the county It
SO happened that every lot in Oxford
with back taxes on it had been bought
up on tax titles except four. A few
DAYS since V J. Palmer, of Oxford,
came to the court house hunting for
some of those lots. He dug up these
four lots with sorae back taxes on
them so old that they were musty. He
did not stop to investigate; he went
home with a tax deed to them.
When he started out to locate his
lots he discovered that he had tax deeds
to both the Methodist and Fresby-
terrain churches.

AN impression is current that the limit of the San Francisco forest re- serve has been reduced and that the western line of the reserve is now some twelve miles east of Williams. Such is not the case, however. The bound aries of the reserve remain according to the original proclamation setting aside this reserve. The Perrin lands are still within the limits of the re- serve and the western line is some miles west of Williams. It is quite probable that people have got the limits in which sheep are allowed to graze and the limits of the reserve mixed.

We are opposed to the reorganiza- tion of the Arizona guard. It's disor- ganization was more acceptable.

 Notwithstanding the fact that the legislature appropriated $9OO which was divided among the three daily papers of the capital, for printing the proceedings, it was impossible to tell by the report ftOm either of them what was being done. The next legis- lature should see that it gets some benefit from the money paid for dis seminating the news.-Copper Era.
 The appointment of guardian for a Phoenix OctOgenarian because of his inclination to Hirt with young women, involves dangerous precedent. If that predilectiOn is to be regarded as a symptom of insanity it will be neces- sary to double the capacity of the asylum, which would be extremely em- barassing under the present straitened conditions of the public finances Gazette.
 The legislat ure did the proper thing by raising the salaries of officers in counties of the fourth, fifth and sixth classes. The district attorney, treas- urer and county recorder will now re- ceive $l ,25O year, and the recorder will also get one-half of the fees for recording mining locations, and the supervisors may allow him extra pay for clerk. The probate judges con- pensatiOn is also increased, we believe, and certain fees of the sheriff over which there has been some dispute, are made legal charges. Belt.
 There is some talk of holding an ex- tra session of the legislature to fix up the code, of which it is said an exami- nation by attorneys warrants all the apprehension that was felt regarding it. It Is also said that it will be pro- life of the most vexatiOus and disas- trOus litigation. The talk of an extra session, however, must end in talk for only congress can authorize it.

MINERS WANT
LEGISLATION
Their Interests at Harris
burg Neglected.
Movement Is Under Way to
Send Solid Delegations of
Workingmen to the Next
Legislature.

Seldom, IL ever, has session OF the
the miners of Pennsylvania than the
present one. Notwithstanding tha fact
that the state is the greatest industrial
commonwealth In the union, the num-
Der of laboring men holding seats in the
senate and house is SO small that the
few who are there are powerless to
shape legislation affecting the interests
OF workingmen. This has been demon
strated so plainly in the recent past, in
the trouble experienced in having
passed acts which l40, 900 mine employees
have asked for, that the miners have
learned that to obtain the legislation
they desire they must be represented by
men chosen from their own ranks-by
people who are qualified by experience
to set forth the miners claims for legis-
lation in manner which the public at
large will understand.
Instead of pleading and begging for
the passage of such legislation as they
feel they are entitled to, the mine work.
ers of the state propose to place men In
the seats who will respond to their
wishes in all things which are Just and
fair.
With this end in Wow movement is
now under way to induce suitable men
in every district in the coal regions to
seek legislative nominations year
hence. These candidates, it is propos-
cd, shall be men whose honesty OF pur-
pose and sympathy with their fellow
workmen cannot be doubted, and with
the anthracite and bituminous regions
both represented by solid delegations
OF men chosen from the ranks OF work.
ers the miners OF the state can expect
to receive more consideration at Harris
burg than has been accorded them for
years past.
Among the miners who have been APP
preached to accept the legislative nomi-
nation in this district is Councilman
Peter G. Gallagher, of town. After re-
peated solicitation on the part OF his
friends and those who believe their in
terests in the legislature would receive
proper attention at the hands OF such
men as he, Mr.. Gallagher has finally
consented to become candidate.
The mine employees OF Pennsylvania
never fully realized how weak they
are in controlling and directing legisla-
ton until they presented their requests
at Harrisburg this year, and if their e1-
perlence at this session counts for any
thing there will be many new faces from
the coal fields in the next legislative
body OF the state
