MAURY COJNTY'S
WHEAT CROP.
Last Year II Reached a Total Of
100000 Bushels.
This Year the Mills, In Order to
Keep Busy, Will Have to I'm
port Wheat.

The Herald has had inquiries re-
Gently in regard to the amount of wheat
used for home consumption annually in
Maury county, the probable amount
of this years crop, and other questions
along the same line. Not being pos
ted on this subject, but knowing that
Messrs. Ashton Bros. had been many
years in the milling business and feeling
sure they would give us as near as pos
sible a correct estimate, and that their
information would be OF interest to
our readers. representative of this
paper paid them visit yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. John B. Ashton was toldof the in
quiries and proceeded to answer them.
The two flour mills at Columbia. he
said, ground annually about 800, 600
bushels of wheat; they have capacity
of 750, 600 bushels. The ten or fifteen
other mills out in the county grind
annually about as much as the two
mills here; so that total OF something
like million bushels OF wheat is
ground each year in Maury county.
BY running full time the mills could
grind this amount in eight months.
Maury county's wheat crop last
year reached total of about l, 300. 600
bushels The crop this year will not
exceed 500, 600 bushels; SO if the mills
are to be kept busy wheat will have
to be shipped in from other counties
ana states.
AS a matter of fact. wheat is shipped in
to this county every year AS soon as the
grain is threshed, the farmer-usually
in need of money-rushes it on the
market. The mill men and grain
dealers have only limited storage room.
SO they ship all they cant store to
other markets.
Perhaps half a million bushels of
wheat left the county soon after thresh-
ing time last year. Something like
800, 900 bushels were shipped back.
The railroads and some northern spec
ulators reaped the benefit. The average
Maury countian consumes annually
about three bushels of wheat. The
az, 600 inhabitants in the county use
therefore about 1870, 900 bushels of wheat
during the twelve months. Another
70. 900 or 80, 600 bushels is used for
seeding. The other 800, 900 bushels
ground by the mills goes to feed the
people of the cotton raising states. The
county has this year two and one half
times enough wheat for home use, but
the people of those cotton raising states
have as good appetites as usual so many
thousand bushels Of grain will be ship
ped in here during the year. to be
ground into -four by the splendid
mills with which rhe county is sup
piled, and shipped on south.
Messrs. Ashton Bros. have entirely
ro,ovorad from the results of the flood
Their lower mill has been rebuilt
and is better mill than it ever was.
A coat of paint on this mill and on
the big ware-h house has improved the
appearance Of things. The upper mill
is soon to have new weather boarding
and coat of paint, and then a new
scene indeed will meet the view of the
passerby.

FROM A HIGH AUTHORITY.
A Special Cable To the New YORK
Medical Journal.

Medical Journal.
New York, June 26.-The following
special cable was received by the New
York Medical Journal from it's Lon
don correspondent, whom they con-
slider the greatest medical authority
and who is in intimate touch with
everything that transpires at the
bedside of the king:
"London. June 25, ~ m.-The kings
disease is perityphilitis, following
cold contracted nine days previously.
His symptoms became rather acute
a week ago, but had subsidized, and 1T
was hoped that he would go through
the coronation ceremony. Owing to
a sudden exacerberation early on
Tuesday morning, an operation was
decided upon at ten o'clock, and the
operation was performed at noon on
Tuesday by Sir Frederick Treves, the
anaesthetic being administered by
DR.. Frederick Hewitt. The abscess
was opened around the caecum, the
pus evacuated and the cavity drained.
There was no resection of the bowel.
the newspaper reports that tubing
was required to preserve the contlnu-
ity of the intestine being entirely
misleading. The recovery from an
aesthesia was satisfactory; the pa
tient passed a restless night, succeed
ed by improvement, his condition be-
ing favorable on Wednesday at
noon"

WOULD SUFFER SEVERELY.
Life Insurance Companies Would
Fare Badly IL the King Dies.


New York, June 26.-1n the event
of the death of King Edward VII,
the insurance companies of England
will suffer the most staggering blow
known in the history of that branch
of financial investment.
1t will cause a loss of tens OF mil
lions of dollars to the regularly or
ganized life insurance companies OF
various kinds who have taken posi-
tive risks on the kings life at high
rate of interest.
American life insurance companies.
however, will suffer no loss, because.
in this country, to obtain life insur-
ance policies, the applicant must es-
tablish an insurable interest in the
person insured. King Edward car
ries the enormous sum of $3,eOO,00O
placed with English companies. This
is on personal policies, upon which
he pays premiums out of his private
purse. The total risks on his life, on
policies by business men is placed
at $21 100000.

indianapolis, Ind, June 26.-The
most terrific storm in many years
swept over central Indiana about
nine o'clock Wednesday morning. The
telegraph and telephone wires were
torn down along it's trail, and COM
munication with the storm-swept
section was almost entirely inter-
rupted.
From information which had
reached indianapolis up to noon it
was believed there had been a heavy
loss of life.
The storm spent most of it's force
in the country 20 or 80 miles north
east of Indianapolis, lying between
the Greenfield electric line on the
south and the Union Traction line
to Anderson on the north. Maxwell,
Cleveland and Pendleton suffered
most severely. A telephone message
from Greenfield said that an awful
storm had swept over Hancock coun-
ty, taking in Wilkinson and Pendle-
ton.
Many People Reported Killed.
It blew down houses in all these
towns, and from 10 to IS people were
reported killed.
Three men in the chain factory in
Maxwell are supposed to be killed. In
a funeral procession at Cleveland,
Ind, IS horses are reported killed.
At Maxwell a grain elevator was
blown down, as well as the chain fac
tory.
Several people are supposed to be
killed in Pendleton.
Nearly every house in Cleveland is
blown down. The roof was blown
off the Hollweg-Rcese bottle factory
in Greenfield.
Traffic B1ockaded.
At McCordsville, Ind, ten trees
were reported blown across the track
of the Union Traction Co., completely
stopping the traffic, and since 10: Is
this morning no Gas Belt Traction
cars have reached or left Indianapo-
lis.
At Linden, Ind, the plant of the
Greer-Nilkinson Lumber Co. was
wrecked, its lumber house being I'M
rooted.
Lebanon, Ind, reported that an inn
mense tree had blown across the tele-
phone wires, destroying for time
all outside communication.
The storm at Indianapolis.
The first intimation which Indian
apolis had of the storm was at nine
o'clock this morning, when the sky
became suddenly overcast, and the
downtown stores were compelled to
turn on their electric lights. In less
than an hour the sky had lighted and
cleared and the sun was shining.

FUSION IN NEBRASKA.
w. TT. THOMPSON, Of Grand Island, a
Democrat, Nominated for Head
of the Ticket.

Grand Island, Neb., June 26.-Fu-
sion was accomplished by the demo-
cratic and populist state conventions
when both bodies unanimously noml-
mated w. H. Thompson, OF Grand Is
land, democrat, for governor.
The nomination of Thompson by
the populists came on the tenth bal
lot. when he received two-thlrds OF
the votes cast. EX-Gov. Poynter
moved to make the nomination unan-
imous and the motion prevailed.
Thompson had already been nominat-
cd nv the democrats and the action
of the populist convention completed
the nomination.
Conference committees at once got
to work on the rest of the ticket. The
populists were given their hrst
choice of the remainder of the can
ddates.

Billingsgate is not so sure of its power

within the next few days that salmon,
lobster and soles may be at famine

already been received by the various
Billingsgate firms from the big no

Last week was fairly busy time.

CHANCES ONE IN THREE.
Ouipion of the Surgeon Who Fer
formed the Operation.


london. June 26.-The Times says
According to Sir Frederick Treves,
who performed the operation on King
Edward, and himself one of the great
est living surgeons and specialists on
abdominal troubles, the chances OF
death in cases of perityphilitis, where
assesses form, as in that of King
Edward, are about one in three.
Sir Frederick Treves also declares
that the period when death is most
likely to occur, if at all, is from the
fifth to the eighth day.
Judging from the opinion OF this
distinguished physician, 1t may be
assumed that either the kings con-
dition developed suddenly-or he has
been very sick for several days, and
the PHYSICIANS have been attempting
to "patch up" their patient for this
