Mississippian Their Victim.

w. r. McCargo, of Columbus,
Miss, was terribly beaten at
Mounds by two thugs, and his death
from injuries received is expected,
McCargo was a stranger at
Mounds. He was entlced into the
rear room of saloon there, the
door was locked and then the
men sprang upon him and, after a
brutal assault, robbed him OF his
money. The injured man was
found in a most pitiable condition,
and his plight so aroused the peo-
pie of the village that they organ
lied a posse to search for his assall-
ants. A man named Bertrand, an
Illinois Central switchman, was
found in the woods where he had
fled and identified by his victim.
B1ood-stained bills, a ten and a
FIVE, were found on his person. He
was taken to Mound City and lodged
in Jail. The other man is still at
large.
The village has been thrown into
the highest pitch of excitement by
the affair and 1ynching is freely
threatened.

Winter Wheat's Low Condition.

Washington, May 19.--Retui lis
to the Statistician OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture, made up to
Nav l. show the area of winter
wheat in cultivation on that date
to have been about 81, 5000 acres.
This is 1868, 900 acres, or 15.2 per
cent. less than the area sown last
fall, of the Departments estimate
of which no modification, except
tor acreage abandoned, is consid-
cred necessary. Of this abandon
ment Kansas reports 1885, 900 acres;
Texas and Tennessee each 100000
acres; Indiana, 205, 900 acres; Cali
fornia, 100000 acres; Oklahoma,
235,OOO acres, and Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Kentucky, Nebraska and
Washington each between 100 and
200 acres.
For the area remaining under
cultivation the average condition
on May was 76.4 against 94.1 on
May /, 1901, $50 at the correspond
ing date 1900 and 50 the mean of
the May averages of the last ten
years. The present condition is
the lowest May condition with the
exception of the years 1899, 1898
and 1888 since 1885. The Depart
ment's final report for May, 1901,
will be issued on Friday, May %.
The average condition of winter
rye on May l was 1874, as compared
with 1874 on April l, 1902; 94,6 on
May /, 1901; 88.5 at the correspond
ing date in 1900, and SO the mean
of the May averages of the last ten
years.
The present condition is the low
est May condition since 1898 and
the lowest with that exception in
twenty years. New York and
Pennsylvania, with two fifths of
total winter rye acreage of the
country, report 81 and SO respect
lively, the former being 3 points and
the latter Z points below the re-
spective ten-year averages. Kan
sas reports p and 70 points below
its ten-year average.
