KANSAS WHEAT CROP.
A Tremendous Yield in That State i.
Certain

| Topeka, Kas., July 3.-Secretary F.
D. Coburn. of the Kansas agricultural
department has issued comprehen-
| sive report showing the condition of the
Kansas wheat crop. 1t follows:
| Reports of correspondents from
well nigh every township in Kansas to
the state board of agriculture relating
to the growing crops, based on condi-
tons existing June 20, summarized,
indicate that the area of winter wheat
that will be harvested aggregate 5.7O9,-
4S5 acres, or 94.6 per cent of the total
area sown. and the general average
~"naitivr,s or rhis on thee of harvest
| is 50 per cent, calling 100 an entirely
satisfactory condition. Besides rating
! high in the more prominent wheat
producers, many counties with lesser
acreages report correspondingly high
averages. thus Indicating that wherev-
er there is wheat to harvest its condi-
ton is quite uniformly excellent.
AT approximately the same stage in
the plants development that year. the
general average condition of the
states winter wheat in 1902 was 81,
on 5,24S,547 acres. which bore the
largest crop in the states history Co.,
333,095). This years area is now cut.
is greater, and it's average condition
seven points higher. Weather condi-
lions for the past ten days have been
favorable for it's rapid reaping. No
threshing as yet has been done, and
it 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 more southern
counties only last week, while the
harvest of the state is three to four
weeks backward.
Unusually High Counties.
Conspicuous for their high condi-
tions are Scott county. los per cent;
Decatur 1903, Lane, l02: Phillips. 102;
Sheridan 1O2; Smith, TO-; and Finney,
Greeley, Meade, Ness, Norton. Rawlins
and Rocks each 100. Twenty counties
in the wheat belt so-called averaged
81 per cent on 3,0S7,010 acres, or over
so per cent Of the total area TO be
harvested.
1T is noteworthy that adjoining
counties. comprising Sigh -ly more than
the northwestern quarter of the state.
excepting three or four bordering OF
Colorado, present a most promising
showing, twelve reporting average con-
d;tions of 100 to 1903. ami ranging from
that to 90, in Jewell and Ellsworth.

OF course, in such an event, the pur
chasing power of the paper dollar
would decrease in proportion to the
amount of the additional issue.
Ut has been the custom when pur-
chasing of the importer for local mer-
chants to secure ninety days to twelve
months'credit, at which time the obli-
cation must be paid in gold. At the
time of the purchase of the goods the
merchant also negotiated with his
broker to purchase him the necessary
amount of gold, TO be delivered when
his bill was due. In this way the mer-
chant protects himself against possi-
bic depreciation In value of paper
money. Latterly. however, this custom
has not been used to such an extent,
the ratio between gold and paper hav-
ing remained stationery for long
period.
There is little or no danger of revo-
luton or political upheaval in the
republic that will affect business. The
administration of General Roca is very
conservative and strong. and foreign
investments are fairly well protected,

PRAYED for the Doctor,

A well known surgeon was recently
called upon to perform an operation
on the person of a small son of a prom
inent merchant.
Prior to the preparation. his mother
proposed that he should say his pray
ers. This the little fellow did, after
which the nurse began to remove his
clothing. While the mother stood by
weeping.
Suddenly he asked: Mamma,
mayn't I say another prayer?'
Certainly, dear; say all you wish. y
The little fellow at once got down
on his knees, lifted his face upward
and, amid the silence. solemnly said:
"Oh, God, please don't kill me; kill
the doctor. Amen"

was made up of party of college ath-
letes. They came with rush in mass
formation, and tackled the man who
gives the application blanks.
There were twelve men in the party.
They were all Bostonians, students at
Harvard, and sons OF wealthy men.
They were travelling incognito and wore

Identities. On this subject they kept
mum.
I'VE harvest wheat, drive wagons,
carry water, eat bacon and corn bread
with the rest of them. We beat our
way here on frelghts. leaving Boston
early last week. We have had a pretty
good trip. We got put off the trains
once or twice, but usually the brakes
permitted us to ride on condition that
we help load coal into the box. This
was easy.
You see We have never been out

go to the harvest district as a cook and
had letter OF recommendation from a
banker at Larned, Kas. Mr. Jamison
had to refuse her.

Superintendent Cooper seems to have
a most touching confidence in the truth
fulness of Mr.. Wilcox. To believe that
Mr.. Wilcox turned public money over
to b. H. Wright two months after the
latter had been summarily removed
from office and placed in Jail for embez-
element appears to have required no
effort Such examples of unshakabIe
trust are rare indeed in this skeptical
and suspicious world Mr. Wilcox is
to be congratulated that his word car
ried him so far. Doubtless a grand
jury would have believed the same
story, so it was no use calling the
matter to the grand jurys attention at

A GOLDEN JUDGMENT.

A man was arrested not long ago in
Missouri for burglary. 1t seems he had
forced an entrance into a large whole
gale store in the business district and
carried off a lot of valuable mercnaa-
disc. The entrance was made through
8 back window, during the noon hour.
The clerk who was left in charge Of
the safe had gone to one OF the offices
in another part of the building. The
safe. containing thousands in gold,
was careIessly left wide open and
access to this fortune was easy. The
thief locked the safe without taking a
cent, but il was discovered later that
every DOUGLAS PATENT CLOSET
had been stolen from the warerooIns.
1t is readily seen by this that the
Douglas is more valuable than gold to
one who understands values. Bath, the

More Trou bic for Uncle

NEW YORK, March 11-English in
vestors in Spanish-American loans and
enterprises are now looking for a ee<
quel to the Venezuelan affair in some
other quarter of the western henis-
phere. says the Tribunes representa-
tive in Lonoon. The only other coun-
tries where defaults of interest and re-
pudiation of financial obligations are
fragrant are Costa RIGA and Guatemala.
The external debt of Costa RIGA was
scaled down to lower rates of interest,
but defaults have occurred in both the
interest and the sinking fund
Guatemalas debt was also rearrang-
ed for at 4 per cent. but the interest
has not been paid. These count les are
exposing themselves to foreign coercion
in the interest of European creditors.
1t is not probable that England will
join Germany in another naval cam
paign against either republic, since the
British investors in the two main Ven
ezuelan loans complain that the ef-
feet of the alliance las been to establish
preference for inferior German claims
and to create a prejudice against the
legitimate claims of bondholders.

VIM. c. GREGG INVENTS A CANE LOADER
THAT MAY SIMPLIFY LABOR PROBLEMS1

William c. Gregg OF Honolulu and
Minneapolis has invented a cane load
ing machine. and during the past month
has been successfully experimenting
with it at Eva.
The principle of the machine is as
follows:
The cane is picked up by hand. and
thrown into a sled. shaped like the ribs
Of a boat. The boat weighs 200 pounds
and holds 800 pounds OF cane. The
boat is then drawn by a team of mules
mounted on wheels and stands along
side of and parallel to the railroad
track 1t Is operated by a gasoline en-
CINE. The machine picks the boat up.
and dumps the cane into the car, re-
turning the boat to the ground. whence
1t is hauled back to the field by the mule
team, left there to be filled, and a boat
which has meanwhile been filled is in
turn drawn to the machine.
1t takes only one minute after a boat
is alongside OF the machine, to unhitch
the team. elevate. discharge and return
the boat and hitch the team to 1t again.
The boats go over the deepest burrows
without capsizing.
Three teams and six to eight boats
keep one machine busy.
A MACHINE CREW.
Mr.. Gregg's estimate of the crew OF
men. material and fuel necessary to
operate machine. is as follows:
16 men loading boats.
3 men driving teams.
2 men on machine.
1 man hauling cars.
teams hauling boats.
1 team hauling cars.
10 gallons of gasoline.
Total % men. mules and 10 gallons |
