BLOCKING PROGRESS OF
HENNEPIN CANAL,

Twenty farmers residing along the
Hennepin canal feeder near Sterling
have entered claims against the Uni
ted States government for damages
caused by the construction of the
canal. They ask for damages aggre-
eating 100000. They claim that their
farms were damaged to that extent
by the water seep;ng through the
banks CT bikes along the feeder and
running into their lands. Also be-
cause the canal prevented the proper
drainage of their farms.
The road commissioners of the five
townships in Whiteside county
through which the canal flows are
preparing a writ for an injunction re
straining the government from erect
ing bridges according to the plans
prepared by the government. The

Prospect for Crop Of Corn in
This County is not the
Best.
COOL WEATHER NOW RErARDING
Weekly Bulletin Shows Need of
Rain in Many Parts ofIhe
State.

Farmers through this county are
discouraged over the outlook for a
crop of corn. With poor start caus-
ed by wet weather, the sudden drying
and baking of the soil by a period of
two weeks absolutely without rain,
the plants were put about two weeks
behind Now the soil is in good condi-
tion for rapid growth, but the wealth
er is so cool, especially at night. that
| for Il week there has been very little
progress made and the plants are
| locking sickly and yellow. Very little
corn in this county will be ready to
lay by" before July /. and from pres
ent prospects there win be large
portion of the crop in imminent peril
from early frosts next fall.
Weekly Report.
The crop report of the department
of agriculture for the state of Illinois
for the week ending June % is as fol-
lows:
Light to heavy showers occurred
the latter part of the week. Ncgeta-
ton was needing moisture, and an TN
favorable condition was relieved. The
rain area is believed to have covered
considerably below normal. but no
damaging effects ensued, except the
rctarding of crop development. Field
work has been actively prosecuted
under most favorable conditions.
Harvest In south.
The harvesting of wheat is practic-
ally finished in the southern district.
with uniformly disappointing results.
The yield will be far below average.
some estimates placing the product at
One-fourth to one-half the average
crop. The crop is ripening slowly in
the central district; some fields are
ripe, and harvest is in progress. While
the crop has recently made great i'm
provement, the harvest, so far, is be-
low expectations.
Rye and barley are heading and are
in promising condition. Some fields
of rye are ripe and ready for harvest.
The conditions of corn is very un-
even. 1t shows all stages from just
up TO the plant Is inches high. The
crop is generally small and backward.
But little growth has been made dur
ing the week, the weather being too
cool. Much cultivating has been done
and the fields are clean without eX-
cePtion. Many fields have been cul-
tivated the second time.
In the region of heaviest produc-
ton, the northern district, oats are
generally in a promising stage of de-
velopment, and give promise of an
average yield. In the central district
the crop is uneven and short. Some
complaint is made of rust and weeds.
but the general condition is promis-
ing. Grasses were in need of rain, and
together with cool weather, growth
has been retarded.
Apples, from the present outlook
will be a greatly reduced crop. They
continue to drop badly. The season
for Strawberries is nearly over in the
central district. In the northern dis
trict the fruit is still plentiful. Black
berries and raspberries are still prom

The outlook for potatoes is favor
able, and a heavy crop is promised.
Gardens show improvement, but are

ONE ON NOEL.

A gentleman who was present at
the Greenville speaking said that
while Noel was speaking it lookee
like Vardaman had put himself up
against a hard proposition. This
grew out of the majors offer to eat
him if anybody would fetch him an
edicated" negro who made living
between the plowhandles. Mr.. Noel
had, in previous speech at Indianola,
claimed to have found him, an AL
corn college graduate, named Gregory,
on Mr.. Sledge's plantation in Sun
flower county. He then called on
his opponent to do the cannibal act.
This looked like one on Vardaman,
until he read letter from an Indian
ola correspondent who said it was
true the Alcorn graduate pitched a
crop on the Mr.. Sledge's place. He
stood in the shade and bossed his tami-
ly, consisting Of six or eight women
and girls, the first half of last year.
But proving a labor disturber Mr..
Sledge had elected him, and he was
now running blind tiger in the town
made famous by Minnie and Teddy

TEN MORO FORTS WERE TAKEN,
By the American Force Under Cap

Was Heavy.

Manila, May Capt. Pershing's
column has defeated the Sultan of
Amparuganos' strong force of Moros
in the Taracaco district, on the east
shore of Lake Lanao, Island Of Mn
danao.
The Americans captured ten forts.
One hundred and fifteen Moros were
killed, thirteen wounded and sixty
were made prisoners. The Moros
captured included the sultan. Two
Americans were killed and seven
were wounded.
The ten forts constituted serious
and strong positions on the bank of
the Taraca river, and from them the
Moros vigorously resisted Capt. Per-
shing's advance. The American
troops attacked the forts Monday and
captured eight of them without suf-
fering any losses, though the sixty
three obsolete cannon mounted on
the Notifications were served with
the best of the enemY's ability. The
garrison of the ninth fort resisted
fiercely and Capt. Pershing ordered
the fort to be shelled and captured
by assault, which was done. Lieuts.
Shaw and Oracle, leading two COM
panies of the twenty-seventh infan-
try, and a detachment of cavalry,
surrounded the tenth fort, where the
sultan had taken refuge, and it sur
rendered on Tuesday. The forts have
been dismantled.

day to complete the exploration of
the east shore of the lake. No fur
