The December crop report estimated
the winter wheat area at $4,000, 900
acres, about 100000 acres more than
the largest ON record, the 1901 and about
100000 acres in excess of the area har-
vested in 1902. If the full yield Of
wheat, representing 100, is taken as 16.5
bushels per acre, the April percentage
Of condition, 97.3, would suggest yield
per acre of about 16 bushels. This yield
per acre on an area Of 100000 acres
would mean a winter wheat yield of
644, 100000 bushels, compared with ILL.,
100000 bushels winter wheat raised in
1902 and compared with 10000 900
bushels winter wheat raised in the record
crop of 1901. If the present growing
winter wheat crop should realize the
government predictions the total would
be 1873 100000 bushels in excess Of last
year and 115,000,O00 bushels in excess of
the largest ever raised, the 1901 winter
wheat crop.
The average condition of winter rye
on April l was 97.9, against 85.4 on
April /, 1902, 93.1 at the corresponding
date in 1901, and $40 the mean of the
April average of the last ten years.

Southern Ham1ets Devastated and a
Score of People Perish.
In a tornado that swept across White
and Cleburne Counties, Arkansas, it Is
known that nine persons were killed and
great damage was done. A large num-
Der Of men, women and child.-en were in
jured. The scenes of the worst dam
age are remote from railway and tele-
graph lines and when the extent of the
storms work is known the death list
may be much larger. In the :rack of the
storm trees were twisted from their
trunks and houses demolished. The
storm ragged in two counties and the list
of casualties is large. A. G, Williams,
who lived ten miles south of Heber. was
killed. He was 20 years OLD and lived
with his wife Oh top of one OF the noun
tains south OF town. His house was
caught up by the wind and thrown down
the mountain side. His wife was badly
injured and is not expected to live.
Houses were picked up and carried sew
eral hundred feet.
At Pangburn six residences were
blown down and a flock of sheep and a
number of cattle, hogs and horses were
killed. Buck Neeley, of Searcy, was in
the storm and was caught under a small
tree which was blown down. He is not
seriously hurt. A large church near
Pangburn was blown half a mile. At
Little Red postoffice Albert Killer, Ell
bert Derile, Walker Pollard, Mrs. Pol
lard and Tom King lost all their houses,
barns and other buildings. Forty-three
residences and sixteen barns destroyed
and other wreckage is the record of the
damage reported. The tornado swept

MYSTERY STILL DARK.
Penne11 Inquest Throws No Light ON
the Murder of Burdick.


the Murder of Burdick.
The mystery surrounding the Burdick
murder and the uncertainty as to wheth-
er the deaths of Arthur Il. Pencil and
his wife were the result of accident or
design were not lifted by the evidence at
the Pennell inquest in Buffalo. Thomas
Penney. attorney for the Pennell family,
declared that so far as he was aware
nothing in Pencils papers would throw
any light on the murder, of Burdick. He
declined to answer questions regarding
the alleged defalcaton of Pennell j.
Frederick Pencil, brother of the dead
lawyer and administrator of his estate,
who has possession of most of the papers.
he said, was out of the city, and he did
not know where he was or when he
would return to Buffalo.
Evidence that would show defalca-
ton would simply be accumulatiye," said
Justice Murphy. after the evidence was
all In. mo stronger motive could be
proved than has already been brought
out here. But proving a motive does not
establish suicide. The court is prepared
to announce its findings"
Judge Murphy then delivered his ver-
dict as follows:
find and certify that Arthur r. Pencil
came to his death the 10th day of
March, 1903. as a result of injuries received
while riding in an automobile, the said
automobile plunging from an embankment
into the Genres stone quarry.
That / cannot determine from the evil
dence submitted whether such plunge was
accidental or designed.
That Carrie Lamb Pennel came to her
death as q result of the said plunge Of the
automobile into the quarry.
Wallace Thayer, who had been Pen
nells attorney before his death, made a
statement on the stand, saying:
I'm none of Mr.. Pencils communion
lions to me and in none Of his papers
was there anything bearing ON the Bur-
dick murder or the death of Mr.. Pennell
Pencil left with me a sealed envelope
of instructions and two insurance policies
for $50, 600, which / was to hold in trust.
| was instructed not to open the sealed
package until the insurance money was
paid over to me, and then'I was not to
make public the name of the person Or
persons for whom / held the insurance
in trust or make known their names to
anybody aside from the beneficiary or
beneficiaries "

decorative purposes. The resolution was
offered, because but little attempt was

Good Housekeeping.
The methods for making an omelet, as
taught in the New England School of
Cookery. is here given. An omelet must
be a puffy mass of bubbles which can be
achieved only by beating air into the
whites of eggs and then Immediately fold
ing them into the other ingredients. The
rule for omelets is, one egg and one table,
spoon of boiling water for each person to
be served. First separate the eggs, drop
ping the yolks into a bowl the whites on
large platter. With a Dover egg beaten
beat the yolks till they are thick and lemon
colored. Season with salt and pepper and
add one tablespoon of boiling water for
each egg Occasionally a recipe calls for
milk instead of hot water. Either may
be used, but the water makes omelet
much tenderer than the milk does; With
a wire beater whip the whites of the eggs
till they a stiff froth. Add this mass
of air bubbles to the beaten yolks, folding
in carefully so that none of the air can
be lost the bubbles broken. Use an
omelet pan for cooking 1T, thin spider
with sloping sides. Heat the pan and melt
a tablespoon of butter. AS soon as it
browns slightly. pour the egs into the pan.
Set 1t where IL can cook very slowly and
while Ii is still soft on top begin to fold in
the middle. Use a timber. broad-bladed
palette knife TO turn 1t over. The inside
will be a fine. puffy. creamy mass; the
top and bottom, the delicately- Drowned
surface which rested on the bottom of the
pan. Turn IL out very carefully, so 1t will
not break, on hot platter and send imme-
diately TO the table A plain omelet made
after the foregoing directions may be rem
dered more appetizing by various methods.
A savory omelet for luncheon or breakfast
can have few spoonfuls of any chopped
meat dropped between the folds before it is
dished. Around it may be poured cup of
plain white sauce, tomato mushroom
sauce. A few bits of asparagus or a small
leftover Of green peas put in the white
sauce is an appetizing addition. If a sweet
omelet is desired. dust with powdered sugar
and spread between the folds jelly or jam.
An orange omelet Is choice delicacy
