H. V. Jones estimates the corn crop of
the United States this year at 100000
600 bushels. This is the smallest it has
been in seven years, with one exception
Mr.. Jones returned to Minneapolis yes
terday after an inspection of the corn
producing states. In statement which
he gave out he says:
"The seven states of the Mississippi
valley and the southwest are estimated
to produce 254, 100000 bushels less than
last year. The states of Kansas and
Missouri have 100000 less corn than
last year. Nebraska is the only impor
tant corn state that exceeds the produc-
ton of last year, the increase being
about 2S000,000. Iowa runs well up to
last year, but it will be about 10000
600 under without further frost damage.
A large acreage in the northern counties
of Iowa has suffered serious damage
from frost already Yields in the north
ern counties will be spotted. The best
yields will be in eastern and southwest

missouri will raise less than 100000
600 bushels of corn on the basis of the
estimate. There is a large abandoned
acreage south of the Missouri river, and
considerable north of it. Yields are light
south of the river, and when applied to
the acreage, the average is cut sharply.
''Kansas has a very light crop-less
than ten bushels average in the district
south of Emporia to the state line, and
from the Missouri line to Wichita. There
is considerable good corn in north and
southwest counties, but in our judgment
the yield cannot run above ll5,OOO,OOO
bushels, with larger proportion than

left the car little further along. The
next development was the finding of
King unconscious.
No one was ever prosecuted for this,
and it was given out that footpad
had assaulted King. Soon afterwards
young King had words with his par
ents and left home or was ordered away.
King stated to The Free Press report
er this morning that he is the man who
was assaulted. He said that there were
reasons why no one was ever prosecuted,
as the man had some cause and his own
skirts We're not clear. He bears a scar
on his forehead.
The case is most mysterious one

ed with army life, and is an easy talk

accustomed to good society. He APP

not doing enough work, sitting next to a
lady, etc, were heavily punished.
In another tent was the museum. Here
were the living skeleton, the fat man,
the tall lady, the bearded lady, the strong
lady, the snake charmer and Minnie, the
wild girl. In the vaudeville theatre, an

DR.. Reboul has made use with excel

sticks closely to the surface of the
wounded or diseased tissue and a small
quantity of cotton soaked in colodium
is sufficient to keep it in place. When
the wound is fresh it heals quickly

A perfect cicatrization of liberated can

perished and at the end of few hours
completely disappeared, and the fac..

microbes multiplied when placed in an
