Wheat.

Every year our exports of wheat
grow less-unless an unprecedented
crop is harvested-and should the
present season yield no more than
did the crop Of 1893 this country
would have to import wheat-or 20
hungry.
Our home consumption is increas-
ing at the rate of nine million bush.
els per year. All of our product
comes from the middle west and
east-and the plan OF diversifying
crops is shading the yield below the
increasing demand. All the New
England states combined do not pro
duce wheat enough to supply a town
the size of Colorado Springs-in fact
those states combined with New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
have to buy each year over eighty
million bushels for their own con
sumption.
The time is not far distant wher
wheat will get back to its old-timt
prices and when flour cannot be
bought for song.-Lovelsnd Re

We should like to write to the
general passenger agents of the rail
roads whose lines run through Kan
sas and ask if it is perfectly safe to
buy tickets over their routes until
the wheat harvest is ended? We
have gathered the impression some
where that passenger trains are
about to be mobbed by the farmers
pitchforks in hand, and all able
bodied male travellers marched of to
the wheat fields and made to toll
under the burning sun and in the
hot, Texas. born zephyrs until the
harvest is safely garnered in. Per
SONS starting out westward from st.
Louis are to be requisitioned, "seiz'
ed," as soon as they reach the wheat
belt, in the same manner that coal is
seized by the railroads in times Of
scarcity. It is we'll known that this
impressed labor will be highly paid,
the latest rates, we understand, be-
ing $1s per day, fried chicken
at every meal, hair mattress and an
electric fan in your bedroom. Rival
formers are now hiring brass bands
to accompany the harvesters and
make their rounds of the fields more
Joyous. The influx of college pro
fessors and young millionaires from

LAND LAW EFFECTS.
First Application Made to Court
Under the Now TorronS
System.

Under the Now TorronS
system.
The Torrens system Of registering
land titles went into effects IN this
state yesterday, and the first appli-
cation under the act has been made
in the district court by William D.
McFarlane. The application is ad
dressed to each of the five judges of
the district, and refers to certain lots
in Elberts addition, the assessed val
uation Of which is $6,7
The new system of registering
tiles is not compulsory and it may be
many years before the law is gener-
ally adopted in Colorado. Under
provisions of the act every land title
is examined under the order Of the
district court, and after the result of
the examination has been reported, a
summons is issued to all of tho part
les in interest notifying them to sp.
pear in court and give their reasons,
if any, why the title shall not be de-
olared to be held by the plaintiff in
the case. If no defendant appears,
then the court issues certificate OF
title which is recorded and becomes
the basis of all future transfers.
The system is of Australian ex-
traction, and Of late years has been
copied by states and nations quite
generally. While the Torrens law
has become legally operative, it does
not follow that it will be necessary fol
one to transfer property under its
provisions. He may make use of the
old system if he chooses. The courts
will soon be in position to act un-
der the principles of the new law

MRS. YOUTSEY ON
WITNESS STAND

Frankfort, KY, April 29.-J. M. Hard
grove of Pulaski county was the first wit
ness in the Howard trial today. He had
testified in former trials and his testi-
mony today differed from that given
heretofore in some points.
John Mastin a local hardware merchant
told of Youtsey and DR.. Johnson coming
to his store ten days before the shooting
any trying to buy Mauser rifle. Mastin
said he declined to sell as he heard much
talk of killing and suspected 1t might be
used for that purpose. Youtsey offered
to return the gun and sell 1t back to the
witness at his own price in a few days,
but witness still refused and Youtsey told
him not to mention their conversation to
anyone.
A. M. Moore of Madison county swore
he was in the Board of Trade hotel talk
ing to James Howard and Robinson when
il was announced Goebel had been shot
Witness had just met Howard.
Mrs. Henry &c. Youtsey was called as a
witness at the afternoon session but was
not permitted to testify as to the CONVEX
sations between her husband and herself
AS she left the stand she touched How
ard on the shoulder, causing him to look
around shook hands with him cordially
and also with his wife. The incident
was to a degree dramatic.

BAD NEGRO ARRESTED.
Charged With Offering Stolen Watch
for Sale.

Because he was trying to sell a solid
gold watch, worth about $500, for 81 rs,
VIII Mitchell was arrested last night by
Policemen Patton and Murphy on Tween
tieth street, between First and Second
avenues.
The negro had a large pistol In his
pocket and made a threatening movement
towards 1t when Policeman Patton grab
bed his hand and held 1t In the negroes
pocket so that he could not pull the pis-
tol. Had he been able to get to the pis-
toll trouble would probably have followed.
The policemen think that the watch
is one of those taken In a recent burglary.
1t is very fine time piece, and is In the
possession of Policeman Patton, who will
deliver it to any one Identifying 1t.
The negro is a bad character and was
arrested about two years ago by Police
man Nox on a charge of assault with in
tent to murder conductor on the South
ern railroad. He is said to have shot at
the conductor on an incoming train, and
to have caused considerable trouble. He
has just finished serving a term In the
mines.
In speaking of him last night Policeman
Patton who probably knows him better
than anyone else, said:
He's a bad negro. II we had MT oot
that gun there would have been trouble

ever saw, and meaner than he looks

shooting.
At this point in the proceedins a call
was made for Coroner Paris, but he was
not present on account of the illness of
his wife. The state asked for a recess un-
til tomorrow. The defense objected, but
the court stated the court was adjourned
until o'clock this morning.
1t is very probable that the crowds at
the hearing today will be fully as large
as those on yesterday, as the case is be-
ing watched with the keenest interest.
