general sentiment was not in favor OF
him. 1t was also stated that the
church was in poor shape financially
and that it could not possibly pay him
the salary which had been agreed up
on, and that if he came to Dixon he
would have no end of trouble not only
with the congregation but with the
financial problem.
Upon receipt of this letter Rev
Leisenring sent it to the official mem
bers of the church at Dixon. and an
investigation was started i'm hopes of
being able to trace the authorship
but without success. In the meantime
the church at Chambersburg had re-
fused to accept the resignation of
their pastor, and in view of the seem
ing trouble in the church at Dixon
the reverend gentleman determined
to remain in the east, telegraphing
his withdrawal of his acceptance of
the call to the Dixon charge.
AS a consequence the church is still
without pastor and does not at pres
ent know just where to look.

tity is soft and sappy, and where the
grain has dried out well, some COM
plant is made of chaffy and light
weight condition. Husking is in ac-
tive. progress. and the crop has been
cribbed in many localities. In only a
few instances have reports indicated
marketable condition of the grain,
and the consensus of opinion seems to
be that high grade corn will not be
plentiful,
Wheat in the southern district is not
generally in thrifty condition. The
plant has not made seasonal growth
on account of prevailing droughty
conditions. Fields that now make a
good showing are in need of moisture.
In the central and northern districts
where the lack of moisture is not so
marked, the crop looks well and
shows an average fall condition. Rye
is well rooted. thrifty. and generally
in promising stage.
Pastures and meadows need moiS-
ture; new sown meadows are especial
~ in need. Pasturage is short, and
has entirely failed in some localities
All reports indicate the healthy
condition of stock. A few cases of
hog cholera were reported. In the
southern district stock is being fed
mostly owing to lack of pasturage.
Apples have nearly all been gather
ed. The yield is light and the quality
inferior. Many complain of the
fruit in storage rotting and not keep

corning potatoes are confirmed. The

Cold and Dry Month Favorable to Getting
Crop in Crib.
The special crop bulletin for the
month of November. issued by the
United States department is as fol-
lows:
The month opened warm with tenn
perature above the seasonable aver
age, and the weather continued mod
crate during the first half. On the
18th there was a decided fall in tenn
perature, accompanied by cold
wave, with minimum of 20 degrees
above zero aud lower. Cold weather
prevailed throughout the latter half
of the month. The mean daily de
ficiency in temperature for the month
averaged between ? and 3 degrees.
Precipitation was deficient in all
sections, and the lack of moisture in
the southern district retarded the
growth of wheat, and injured past
ures and meadows to a considerable
extent. Weather conditions were fa-
vorable for farm work, and opera
tions have been carried on without
material interruption.
At the husking and garnering of

be very uneven. A considerable guam

The Dixon Lutheran church is with

Foreseeing vacancy some time ago,
the congregation extended a call to
Rev. f. Ill. Leisenrng~ of Chambers
burg. Pa. Within the last few days a
letter from the minister declining the
call has been received.
1t now develops that Rev. Lessen
ling's action was brought about by
reason of the work Of some unknown
person in Dixon who is evidentaily
antagOnistic to the church i'm that
city. shortly after it was announced
that the Chambersbnrg pastor had

he was in receipt of an anonymous

IMMENSE TOBACCO PURCHASE.
FORTY Eight Thousand Dollars Paid
for a Fancy Lot of Tobacco.

The biggest purchase of high grade
tobacco ever made in the West by a
cigar manufacturer was made last
Wednesday by Frank p. Lewis, Peoria

cigar. A written guarantee was given
that the entire amount was to be fancy
selected tobacco. This, no doubt,

the fact that a young man had been

ed that the young man, who is Fred
Hass, was at Claus Groth hall, attend

some alteration with Kurtenacker,
who was hit by some one in the melee.
Later Kurenacker called at the Hess

stayed and called him out. When he

beat the boy and did so with much Vi
