BEATS CROP
RECORD AGAIN
Kansas Wheat Crop This Year
Better Than 1901.
SECRETARYCOBURN REPORTS
sECRETARYCOBURN REPORTS
The Wheat Crop Of This Season
d as Promising to Beat
States Record.

F. D. Coburn Of the State Board Of
Agriculture after thorough investiga-
tion of conditions has issned a report
covering the agricultural situation In
Kansas up to June 20, His report shows
the total acreage Of wheat in the state to
be 5,7O9,4 as compared with 6,24h,547
last year. The quality of the wheat this
year Is better also than that raised last
season.
Report from correspondents from
wellnigh every township in Kansas to
the State Board Of Agriculture" says
Mr.. Coburn, in hisreport "relatlng to the
growing crops, based on conditions ex-
listing June ~, summarized, indicate that
the area Of winter wheat that will be
harvested aggregates 5,7O9,405 acres, Or
94.6 per cent Of the total area sown, and
the general average condition of this on
the eve of harvest is 50 per cent, calling
100 an entirely satisfactory condition.
Besides rating high In the more promi-
Dent wheat producers, many counties
with lesser acreages report correspon-
dinghy high averages, thus indicating
that wherever there Is wheat to harvest
Its condition is quite unlformely excell-
ent. Atapproxlmately tile same stage In
the plants development that year, the
general average condition Of the states
winter wheat III 1901 WAS 50, on 5,24S,.
547 acres, which bore the largest crop in
the states history. This years area
that will be harvested, much of which
Is now cut, Is greater, and its average |
condition aeven points higher Weather
conditions for the past ten days have
been favorable for Its rapid reaplng.
No threshlng as yet has been done, and |
1t is too early to definitely determine
quality, but with few exceptions here
and there the heads are reported as well
developed and filled, Cool wet weather
delayed ripening, and to that extent
harvest is correspondingly late, beginning
in some of the southern counties only
last week, while the harvest for the state
Is three to four weeks backward.

border on insanity. 1t is doubtful that
any persons has been, in the course Of
lifetime, free from some of the symp-
toms of insanity described by him, and
yet very large majority are not con-
sidered insane. We have our impress

The S. F. Examiner has been sold
by the Associated Press correspondent
here into believing and publishing a
canard that the Republicans carried
the recent County elections held on
November Bird last, throughout this
Territory. AS matter of genuine
fact, the Home Rulers carried most
of the Counties, with a Republican
sprinkling here and there. Kauai was
about the only County where the Re-
publicans carried nearly their whole
ticket with one exception, : that Of
County Attorney.

The General Wood case illus
trates the thorough incapacity of Pres
ident Roosevelt in the important work
Of making appointments. In this as in
other things he esallowed his petty, per-
sonal bias to get away with the ordin-
airy Judgment that any other man
would have exercised. Woods quail
fications for the Office now held by him
consists in his having accompanied
Roosevelt in the Santiago campaign.
OF course we all know that Roosevelt
licked Spain, bringing the naughty
Don in humility to his feet; but the
President feels that Wood helped him
little and wishes to reward him. The
Senate will do the proper thing if it
deliberately turns down the appoint
ment. But when a President creates
a Governor on account Of his football
record, he is not apt to overlook bull
puncher who happens to be his friend.

seriously defective as to render it in

sooner those defects are remedied the

We would like TO ask the authority
of the Board of Supervisors of Maui
County for fixing the bonds of the as
SCISSOR and treasurer of that county at
more than 100000. The law prescribes
that the bonds shall not be less than
$30,0O0 and anything in addition must
be based upon the amount Of money
passing through the hands of
the respective officers of the
county during any given month. AS
a matter of fact, however, there has
been no Maui County heretofore, and
consequently no assessor or treasurer
through whom money might pass. The
Board of Supervisors had the right to
fix the bonds at 100000, and no more.

CALLED "UNJUsT PROSECUTION y
Milk Dealers Resolve Upon Legal
Fight Against It.

Irritated at what they term unjust
prosecution" the members OF the Milk
Dealers and Producers Association of
Maryland, Virginia and the District of CO.
lumbia have decided to establish de-
fensive policy. With that end in view, a
meeting of the association held last
evening in this city, when speeches in de-
nunciation of certain articles of the health
laws We're delivered by several local dairy
men.
After the reading of a letter from DR..
Woodward the District health officer. in
reply to a letter of the association ask
ing for detailed information as to the
cause of infant deaths recently, 1t was
decided to employ Attorney Peters to de-
fend the members of the body when ar
rested on charges of violating the sec
tions of the health laws. 1t is the inten-
ton of the membership to fight only the
cases which they may regard as unjust
prosecutions. In such instances the cases
will be carried to the highest tribunal in
the District. A pamphlet bearing on "The
Milk Question In America and Germany"

MOLINEUX DIVORCE.
Wife of Roland Failed in Her Purpose
in Dakota.

dispatch to the New York World from
Sioux Falls, S. D., yesterday says: The ap-
pication of Mrs. Roland B. Molneux for
divorce has been rejected, according to an
apparently we'll founded rumor which is In
circulation among prominent eastern men,
bers of the local divorce colony. This is
said to be because of a statement made by
her soon after coming to Sioux Falls last
November.
A local newspaper reporter sent her re-
quest at that time for an interview. In
reply she sent him a note admitting that
she was in South Dakota for the purpose
of procuring divorce. This note has been
preserved and is still in the possession OF
the reporter to whom it was written.
Under decisions of the United States Su-
preme Court, a residence established in one
state by a citizen of another for the eX-
press purpose of obtaining divorce is not
a bona-fid residence. Ever since Mrs
Molineux made the statement that she was
here for the purpose of obtaining di-
vorce local attorneys have maintained that
if this should be brought to the attention
of the court it would result in the defeat OF
her suit.
If the rumor proves to be true it will in
dicate that MolneuX has for some reason
decided to defeat his wife's purpose and
has found means of calling the attention
OF the court to the statement made by neI
Immediately after she arrived in Sioux
Falls Neither Mrs. MolneuX nor her at
torney would consent to discuss the rumor.

EXTREME CRUELTY.
Charges Brought by Wife Against Gen,
Charles Thurman.

A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from
Winchester Va last night says: Suit for
divorce has been entered in the circuit court
of Clarke county by Mrs. Thurman against
her husband General Charles Thurman, on
the ground Of unusual cruelty and inhuman
treatment.
One allegation is that General Thurman
decoyed Mrs. Thurman to Staunton. Va,
driving her In a buggy distance of one
hundred miles from their beautiful home in
Clarke county under pretense of wishes to
show her some property he was about to
buy Upon arriving at Staunton Mrs. Thur
nan alleges that her husband induced her
to inspect the insane asylum there, and
once within it's walls. she declares, commit
ment papers were served upon her. and she
was made a prisoner as an insane person.
Commitment papers had previously been
signed in Berryvflle without her knoWiedge,
she AYERS by a lunacy commission, upon
the testimony of old colored man for
merly in her husbands employ.
After being incarcerated for several
months. she declares. she communicated
with friends. who at once took legal steps
and secured her release. An affidavit in the
case from one of the insane asylum au-
thorities declares that Mrs Thurman was
not insane when she was received at the
institution she was given no medical treat
ment while there and that she was held
only upon the strength of the commitment
papers
The Thurmans are members of a distin-
guished Tennessee family. among Mrs
Thurman's near relatives being former Gov
ernor Bates of that state. General Thur
man is said to be near relative of the late
Allen G. Thurman of Ohio and is reputed
to be worth over a quarter of a million dol
lars. They have been living upon their
beautiful estate near Berryville for several
years Mrs. Thurman will be represented
at the trial by eX-Congressman William +.
