ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING.
Children Of Governor Are Said to Be
in Danger.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 29.--An attempt
was made Saturday night to kidnap
the eight-yeaf-oid daughter OF Gov
Mickey. While four of the governors
children were playing in front of the
mansion an unknown man came along
and tried to carry away the oldest girl.
The other children chung to his clothes
and screamed. The man was so badly
frightened when he saw the neighbors
coming that he dropped the child and
ran. Gov. Mickey says that the
warden of the penitentiary. Mr. BEEN
er, reported to him twice that kid
mapping attempt had been prophesied
by convicts. One convict said some
time ago that such plan had been
formed as means of getting revenge
on the governor for his refusal to in
terfere when William Rhea was
hanged last summer for murder.

st. Paul, Sept. 27. - An estimate
based upon more than one thousand
reports from points where wheat has
been threshed places this years yield
in the Northwest at 202 asa 1892 BUSH
els. tbs is the high est estimate that
has been placed upon the crop this
year and is carefully compiled The
Van Dusen-IIarrington Company Of
Minneapolis collected the data and
compiled the estimate,
The returns show the yield per acre
as follows: Minnesota, 1871; North
Dakota, 1872, and South Dakota, 14.4.
That the government report has
placed the acreage too low is believed
by the company.
This years acreage in the North.
west is given by the government re-
port as about "a per cent, or 1898 1928
for Minnesota, 3,434,179 for South Da-
kota and 4,3496 for North Dakota.
The
Threshing Reports
tend to show, however, that the same
amount of wheat, relatively, was sown
this year as in 1899 1t is upon this
proposition that the present estimate
Of more than two hundred million
bushels is made. The years distribu-
ton will show, it is believed that the
estimate is not far out of the way.
At present only about onethird Of
the small grains is in the bins The
wheat has not suffered to so great an
extent as was first supposed by reason
of bad weather and the threshers are
not losing a minute now. The wet
weather was followed by cold spell
which prevented the wheat from
spIOuting in the shocks. 1t was
Feared at First
that the loss from this would be large,
but the reports from the Northwest
have reduced this to such an extent
that it is hardly factor in estimating
this years yield.
A continuance of good weather will
doubtless mean a heavy movement OF
wheat at the terminals and the grain
will be of better quality than most of
that which has been received so far
this year has been.
The government report showed the
wheat yield of 1902 to have been as
follows: Minnesota, 1873 per acre;
North Dakota, 15.9, and South Dakota.
1872.
In other grains the yield is general.

that "a merry heart maketh a cheerful
countenance," but 1t also helps to make a
healthy body; for we are told by the same
authority, "A merry heart doeth good like
a medicine"
The correctness of this latter statement IS
seen In the fact that it is much easier for q
person to recover from an attack of illness
II he is cheerful and hopeful. than when he
is either Indifferent as to his recovery or
despairs of it. This is altogether aside
from the strength of purpose which often
helps one to throw off an illness by sheer
force of will.
Just as the bodily health is improved by
cneerlulness so the mental condition is

gloomy view of the state of trade and to
peiieVe that every transaction in which he
engages is sure to prove a failure Were
the business world largely made up of such
men, there would be an end to every enter
prise which involved any element of chance,
for they would be unwilling to risk money
IN any venture unless its result were abso-
lutely certain to be a success. Besides this
morose man never judges his fellow men
fairly, but he is always on the lookout for
flaws in their character, and few persons
occupying subordinate positions in business
realize how much the value of their sery.
