Kansas Wheat Conditions.

A report issued by the state board
OF agriculture Saturday gives the
acreage of wheat in Kansas at s.
sS3.643 acres, of which 1850, 700 have
been damaged to such an extent by
unfavorable weather that it will be
plowed up and devoted to other crops.
The condition of the growing wheat
in the remaining acreage is given
at IA per cent. for the entire state.
In that part of the state where the
bulk of wheat is grown the condition
is given at 20. Much of the injury to
the crop is attributed to overpastur-
ing. In a large portion of the state
the soil has at present abundant
moisture, and the need of the wheat
fields is warmth and sunshine. Re
ports from the sowing of $4,000 bush
els of seed imported by Kansas mill
ers and grain men last year direct
from Russia are invariably favorable.
Several counties in the state show
a condition of 100 or over. These are:
Allen, Anderson, Coffey, Crawford,
Elk, Labette, Linn, Shawnee and Wy
andotte.
Counties below IS per cent. are:
Barton, Clark, Cloud, Cowley, Ellis,
Ellsworth, Geary, Gray, Greeley, Has
kell, Kingman, Lane, Logan, Lyon,
Mcpherson, Meade, Mitchell, Nemaha,
Ottawa, Pawnee, Pottawatomie, Reno,
Rice, Riley, Rocks, Rush, Russell,
Sedgwick, Sheridan, Sherman, Stat
ford, Sumner, Wallace, Wichita.

Edward Everett Hale, who has just
completed his eightieth year, is one
of the country's grand old men. AL
though residing in Massachusetts, all
sections of the country know him. His
book on Kansas and Nebraska, pub
ished in 1854, just about the time
those territories were organized I'M
der the Douglas act, was one of the
earliest works on the locality. He
was prominently identified with Eli
Thayer's Emigrant Aid society, which
sent many of the earliest settlers in
to Kansas, and which was a powerful
factor on freedoms side in the fight
which resulted in victory in the a6
mission of the state under it's free
state constitution in 1861. DR.. Hale
was present at one or two of the
quarter-centennial celebrations in
Kansas.

MIR. WARES RECEPTION.
Pension Bureau Will Be q Center Of
Interest During Encampment.

| Washington, Sept 29.-The interest of
the employees of the pension bureau is
| now centered in the reception to be
given by Commissioner E. F. Ware to
the old soldiers who will attend the
Grand Army encampment next month
The pension bureau will be central
point of interest to the thousands Of
veterans who make the pilgrimage to
the nations capital, and this immense
building will be decorated in manner
fitting to the men who fought to save
the union.
The army of workers who daily labor
in the pension office conceived the idea
of putting the great central court In
gala attire for the occasion, and with
this end in view word passed around
that voluntary subscriptions would be
accepted. No sooner was the project
started than contributions began to flow
in through the chiefs of the various
divisions. No outside aid was asked
for or required, for the clerks of the
bureau are naturally proud of the WORK
they are engaged in and wished to show
the old boys who wore the blue that
they were doubly welcomed as guests
of the city. Quite large sum of money
has been given, and is now in the hands
of a committee composed of some of the
best known officials of the bureau.
Deputy Commissioner Kelley, Chief
Clerk Hamilton Bayly, Superintendent
Barnes and Mr.. Thomas P. Randolph.
of the law division. are among the
most active promoters of the design to
make the building attractive. Already
steps have been taken to secure the serv-
ices of leading firm of decorators In
New York, the same parties. who had
the contract for decorating during the
last inaugural ball, and no doubt they
will put forth every effort Of the deco
rators' art to make the court equal In
beauty the fairy palace into which II
was transformed year and a half ago.
With streamers and bunting forming In
the background, the stars and stripes
will cover the walls and columns In
every imaginable design.
Near the fountain in the center OF
the court large bandstand Is to be
erected, while little nearer to the west
door a smaller stand will be constructed
for the use Of the orator of the day.
Commissioner E. F. Ware. The full
Martin band. will lend it's services for
1.-THE occasion, as well as one or two
bands and the Modoc club coming
from Topeka.
When, \cn the afternoon of October Z.
the veterans flock to the big red brick
building downtown, they will find await
ing them a reception second to none of
the many that are scheduled for en-
campment week.

Kills His Wife and Fatally Wounds Himself and DRMghter.

New York, Feb 1S.-Philemon Gre in, a special policeman at Milburn, near Orange, N. J., shot his daughter and himself tonight, with a revolver and caused the death of his wife. His own wound and those of the daughter arc almost certain to prove fatal be- fore morning, On Tuesday night Gre lin quarreled with his wife and tried to stab her with a carving knife. The daughter interfered and saved her mothers life, and the father threatened to kill his child. Tonight when he went off duty he brought his revolver home with him. While all the facts are not known at present it seems that he first shot the daughter, one bullet entering her abdomen, another her breast. Gre lin, it is thought, then attempted to shoot his wife, but she was seized with a hemorrhage of the lungs and fell to- the floor dead. The officer then shot himself, the bullet lodging in the region of the heart. The daughters name is Mrs. Mary Ferguson. She and her chil- dren made their home with the Crelins.
