Darling along the tracks at the same
moment sped crowded trolley car en-
route for Rockaway Park Efforts of the
motorman and chauffeur to stop were flu
tile and the car struck the automobile.
Like thing of cardboard the heavy
machine was tossed into the air fully fiji
teen feet. Its occupants were hurled
headlong in all directions and the ma
chine was sent crashing through stone
wall. Rebounding from the impact the
trolley car was thrown from the track
while it's panic stricken passengers were
tossed together under downpour of scat

save life in extreme cases of need.
Speaking of Postum Food Coffee, lady

In place of the ordinary coffee or tea.
I used to have stomach trouble and

troubles left when left off coffee and
began using Postum.
The most severe test I know of was
when my husband was down with gastric
typhoid fever. His stomach would re-
tain nothing: we tried milk and various
other drinks. Everything we put into his
stomach would come up in less than three
minutes. After the third day of this kind
OF work concluded to give him some
Postum Coffee. He drank it and relished
it and retained it, and for -four weeks he
lived on Postum and nothing else to speak

KANSAS WHEAT CROP
The State Will Have $4,000, 900
Bushels Less Than Last Year.
REPORT OF CONDITION TO DATE
Twenty Important Counties Will
Have Only 100000 Bu.-
Recent Rains Help.

Special to The Journal.
Kansas City, June 2.-Reports from
Kansas regarding the wheat crop show
marked Improvement in conditions IN
many sections, and the estimates of the
crop by local grain men now range from
10000. 900 to 50,000000 bushels, compared
with 100, 100000 bushels in 1901. The state
has received, in the past two weeks, the
heaviest rains in more than year,
amounting to inches Official measure
ment in the greater part OF the state,
and more in many sections. The state
report issued May 81, on the basis of data
collected May 81, after good rains had
fallen, but before the heaviest precipita-
ton, suggested crop Of about 45.000,-
600 bushels. The extent of the damage
resulting from the prolonged spring
drought may be best appreciated by the
fact that the state report suggests crop
Of but 100000 900 bushels in twenty coun-
ties. containing half of the 5000, 900 acres
planted last falls OF the 100000 acres
planted in these twenty counties, the
secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture reports 43 per cent, 2S4, 900 acres
abandoned In large part Of the north
half of the big central wheat belt of the
state the plant is SO short and so thin
on the ground that weeds are certain to
grow up thickly between now and harvest
time, and on this account the area that
will not be cut, in all probability, will
be greater than reported by the secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture.
Thousands Of acres that promise only five
bushels to the acre or less will probably
be found not worth harvesting. On much
of this area the plant failed to stool
and instead Of sending up dozen to
twenty stalks each root has one to half
a dozen heads. Rain came too late to
make any more heads, though 1t can fill
out those that are standing, it will be
found that those who are counting on
greatly increased production in Kansas
on account of recent rains will be disap-
pointed The state will be short certainly
| 50,000,000 bushels and possibly 60, 600, 900
bushels of last years crop.
In the thirtythree counties of the east
| 100 miles of the state, where crop condi-
tons are the best, ranging in the '90s in
some cases, there are but 595, 900 acres Of
wheat-hardly ten per cent of the aggre-
| gate area. Travellers who see this part
of the state think Kansas will have a big
| wheat crop. .. ...-. -- =
| There is some sign of a moderate move
ment of wheat from the eastern and
| southern parts of the state, but in the
| north half farmers are holding as tena-
ciously as ever to their old wheat.

FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT.
Collateral Forfeited by Man Who Said
He Was a Congressman.

Because he resented words of advice from
a police officer last night a gentleman who
stated that he was a member of Congress
from Illinois was taken into custody and
escorted to the first precinct police station
and a charge Of disorderly conduct was
placed against his name on the blotter. Az
ter giving his name and answering such
questions as are asked all prisoners he
was placed in cell until later in the night
when he was released on collateral. The
prisoner gave his name as Fred. ]. Kern
and his age as thirty-eight years. and said
he was member of Congress from Illinois
Charles A. Karch, who claimed to be the
representatives. private secretary, was the
name given by another man who was also
arrested and lodged in the same cell with
his employer because he INDUCED in violent
language when the arrest was made.
The prisoner and his clerk were near the
corner of 18th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest last night, and when the
congressman was spoken to by a police
man for violating the law he demonstrated
and was arrested. On the way to the police
station the other man came up and at
tempted to interfere with the officers. He
was told to keep quiet, but failed to take
advice and attracted a large crowd by his
language. After occupying a cell for
short time each furnished s. collateral.

called in the Police Court this morning.
