Report Made on Weather and Crop Con-
Acknowledgment Is Favorable.
Bradstreet's says: weather conditions,

er unfavorable to planting and ground
preparation. This is particularly true IN
the South, where cotton planting is re-
tarded. Heavy fertilizer shipments
point to a large increase in acreage in the
South Atlantic States. On the other
hand, heavy SHOWS in Kansas and Ne
braska and no less heavy rains in the
central West have benefited winter
wheat prospects, which in Kansas, Ne
braska and Missouri are reported excel
lent. Ohio's wheat condition shows mark
ed improvement over last year. In Cali
fornia weather conditions have not been
favorable, and deciduous fruits have been
hurt by frosts. Wheat, including flour,

After vainly running out every clew the

is the victim of a kidnapping plot.
Two of the boys sisters were 60

found it necessary to return to the house
for his overcoat. He was delayed for
few moments and the sisters walked to-
ward the church. When he failed to re-
join them soon they walked rapidly to
the church, both believing until they had
returned home that he had decided not to
go with them. AS a matter Of fact he
had slipped on his overcoat and started
after them. Capt. Cannon in discussing
the case said: Il am firmly convinced
that the boy has been taken by designing
persons, and that he is being held by
them. This boy was never known to be
away from home over night. His habits
were good and there had been nothing to
drive him away from home. | am OF the

every section of the city and all points
adjacent to it had been secured. Willie

HEIRESSES READY TO MARRY.
Many Marriageab1e Indian Bellies Are
Found by Dawes Com m is sion.

Found by Dawes Com mission.
Tams Bixby, president of the Dawes
commission to the FIVE civilized tribes,
says that there is touch of truth in the
stories to the effect that there are hun
dreds of marriageable heiresses in the
Indian territory. 'There are probably,
said Mr.. Bixby, $1,000 young women in
the Indian territory who soon come into
possession of lands worth probably $4,000
to each heiress. More than this, many or
these young women are beautiful. can
not say this, however, of all OF them, or
even of the majority of them. The full
bloods are sloyenly and ugly. In order
to become partner in the wealth OF one
of these Indian heresses man must be-
come a member of the Choctaw or Chick
asaw tribes and place himself under OBJ
legations to obey all the laws and customs
Of the tribe. There is, however, one
great impeachment in the way of the for
tune hunter who would marry Chicka-
saw heiress. He must pay wedding fee
of $1,000 to the tribe. But it is easier
to become a Choctaw. That costs only
$3.50"
