Wheat in Canada.

Washington, July 31.-People OF
the northwest are beginning TO get
worried about the increasing produc-
ton OF wheatin Canada. Last years
yield was close to 80, 900, 900 bushels,
which was a jump of 20, 900, 900, and
nowex- Premier Greenway, of Canada,
predicts that this years yield will
not be far from 10000, 900 bushels.
THERE'S a tariff on wheat which keeps
it from coming over the boundary
line. Otherwise the great mills of
Minneapolis might profit by grinding
it. But no. 1t will go direct to Liv-
erpool, where the price of wheat is
made for the world. What is more,
the railroads and steamship compa-
nies will give better freight rates to
wheat than to -four; it costs less to
handle; the insurance ON it is less,
and there are other reasons resulting
in the fact that the unground prod.
uct can be sent abroad cheaper than
the flour.
Another thing The tide of immi
grafton is setting over the boundary
line now and into the great iertil,
wheat fields of Canada. The north
west would like to keep these peopl,
in the United States. They make
wealth.
One result of the feelings in that
section OF the country is a growing
demand for reciprocity with Canada
The farmers want the tariff wall low
cred.
Senator Reveridge, OF Indiana
thinks the ultimate solution will b,
Canadian annexation.

Says His Cow Sucked a Snake.

William Jones, a farmer and cattle
raiser, near Yerdella, Mo-, was on the
market yesterday with a car OF cat
tie. The load included one old can
ner COW which Mr.. Jones called his
'snake cow" THAT cow" said he,
''has been feeding a big bull snakelor
three weeks. saw her do it and kill
ed the snake. He was between six
and seven feet long and as big around
as the calf of my leg, Three weeks
ago turned the COW out in the pas
ture with the steers. After week or
50 observed that the COW was as
fresh as ever and made up my mind
that some one entered the pasture
and MIXED her. | watched her one
evening and followed her to a big
rock pile in deserted corner OF the
pasture. She began to bawl as if
calling for her cali. Presently the
snake came from under the rocks,
coiled himself under the COW and be-
gan sucking the teats, one after the
other. The next day at about the
same hour the COW visited the rock
pile again and | observed the same
performance. On the third day |
took out my shotgun and after the
snake coiled itself in position to milk
the COW | fred and blew its head off,
Several Others entered the cows
teats, but did not seem to hurt the
animal ="
Young hogs sucking COW in the
pasture is not an uncommon thing,
but this is the first time that snake
is known to have fed on cows milk
in this unique manner.

Twisting Earthquake in California Like

TOrnadO's Motion.
Los Alamos, Cal. July 31.-The
mostsevereearthquake in the history
OF this place occurred at 1:20 this
morning. 1t is not possible as yet to
estimate the damage, but it is very
heavy.
No lives are known to have been
lost, though there were many mar
row escapes.
Every brick building in town was
destroyed or badly wrecked.
Innesrly every house windows were
broken.
The Presbyterian church, a large
and handsome brick structure, was
RACED to the ground, and u similar
fate befell the general store OF " s.
Wickenben, also brick building.
TWIST LIKE TORNADO.
The shock seemed to have had a
spiral motion, like that OF tornado
Goods were hurled from shelves of
stores and piled in the middle of the
rooms. Even such heavy articles as
desks were thrown about.
Not n chimney is left standing in
the town.
All brick walls were badly damag-
ed, but frame structures generally es-
capped serious injury.
In the drug store not a single bot
tie escaped, and Kohn's saloon was
flooded with liquor from broken bot.

BECKHAM ELIGIBLE.
For Reelection Opinion of
Prominent Lawyers.
GOVERNOR WILL ANNOUNCE SOON.

The discussion of the question
OF the eligibility of Gov. j. Q. w,
Beckham for reelection for four
years from December, 1903, has
drawn to an investigation of it
some of the leading mbers of
bar in Kentucky, with the result
that the Governor has secured a
written opinion that there is no
such bar to his ambition, says the
Courier Journal.
This opinion, which is now Civ
en- to the public. was written by a
former Chief Justice and for twen-
ty-tive years member of the Ken
lucky Court of Appeals-Judge

the National Congress, was the
Chairman of the Judiciary CON-
and by the Hon Lewis Nc
Quown, of Bowling Green, chief
counsel for the late Gov Goebel,
aud who directed his contest in all
the courts.
This opinion and the indorse-
nents of it are in the hands of
jov Beckham, to whom the COM
nunications are addressed. In
addition to these opinions the Co.
yernor has within the past few
weeks received from numerous
