An Enormous Dat Crop.

Day by day more farmers are com
pleting their harvesting near Grand
Island, and the tone of their reports
has not been better in fifteen years.
VIM. Bldrige, residing near Aida, was
one OF the first to complete the harvest
OF both oats and wheat and reports
that the latter crop may go forty bush
els to the acre. One farmer in from
the north country estimated his oat
crop at n hundred bushels per acre.
This Is exceptional, though all report
a most satisfactory result. Corn is
making wonderful progress with the
great wealth OF sunshine from above
and moisture beneath.

Kansas Touring mills have almost

as IL the mills will have to shut down
In a short time.
w. A. Blair OF the Blair Milling COM

days if some unusually fortunate cir
c%umstances do not develop. The Blair

times lately had to actually stop the
wheels because of a lack of wheat.
All of last years wheat has been
exhausted in the Central Branch coun-
try and in northern Kansas and Ne
braska, and the Atchison mills must
wait for this years crop. The price
OF last years wheat on change has
gone up to 81 .02 because of the scare
ity Of 1t and the inability to get this

Atchison millers expected to begin get

Private dispatches received in st.

pulse of the Japanese assault on Por,

The correspondent says whole
masses OF the enemy were blown w
with mines and adds that the Russian
losses were 1900 and that Major Gen

that this Is not true of any other ma
