An Echo of 81

Hector Bruce, an old and decrepit
veteran was stranded In
Argos Monday morning. He hailed
from Charleston. S. c., and had fought
for the lost cause under the noted
rebel general, Longstreet, in many of
the important engagements of the
war. While the old fellow is now
derelics on the sea of life yet his
gentlemanly ways, SO far as noticed,
and his manner OF speech marked him
as having seen bette days and prob.
ably at one time of sufficient ability
and education to bill responsible pos
ition. But the most noticeable thing
in connection with the old rebels
visit among his "friends the enemy"
was the complete forgetfulness that
they had ever had any troubles worth
mentioning. 1t had all been forgot
ten and more, after few of the
"Yanks, as he termed them by force
of habit, had contributed to his lodg-
ing, breakfast and car fare to Roches-
ter, he praised them as far more iiber-
al than his southern rebel comrades
and to j. G. Gordon, who had collec-
ted sufficient money for his expenses.
he remarked, "I'm mighty glad now

The relation of the wheat crop to
the general prosperity Of the country
naturally attracts public attention to
the estimates Of the probable yield for
the year. Next to hay and cotton,
the wheat crop is the most valuable
product of American agriculture. AS
Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture said In his last report,
the wheat product in recent years has
ranged from 600, 900, 600 to 100000.
600 bushels, worth to the farmer from
$3.50, 600. 900 to $3.50. 900, 900, while
the value Of the cotton crop, including
seed. has reached $3.50, 900, 900. The
value Of the hay crop ranges from
s45o, 900, 900 to $3.50, O0O,0 900.
James j. Hill, whose carrying in
terests in the Northwest make him a
careful student Of crop conditions, is
quoted as making the statement that
the wheat crop Of the United States
this season will not reach over Co.,.
600, 900 bushels. This is regarded as
a short crop, and the statement of Mr.,
Hill is therefore looked upon as pes.
simistic one.
The shortage is attributed to con-
tinuous and drenching rains and wind
storms In the Red River Valley and in
the great grain states OF the south
west. While the farmers and dealers
IN Minnesota are optimistic and de-
clare that the yield in that state will
not fall below 70, 900, 900 bushels, the
havoc wrought by the elements in
Kansas and Nebraska, it is said, will
cause q considerable decrease from the
usual crops in those states. In FIVE
days the estimates for the total yields
for Kansas and Nebraska have drop
ped several million bushels. In Iowa
and Missouri conditions favor nor
NAL crop.

The Chicago Stock Yards.

The Chicago stock yards are com.
monty styled the "world' s biggest
butcher shop" This is why:
In 1908 over 100000 car loads OF
live stock, valued i'm round figures at
$500, 600, 600, were slaughtered with.
in the precincts of the yards, or ap-
proximate to so per cent. OF the total
receipts at all stock centers in the
country.
Ger $40, 900. 900 was distributed in
wages to over $4,000 men employed
in various capacities about the yards.
This vast volume OF business is div.
ided among nearly 100 firms. Many
Of these, however, are comparatively
unknown to the country at large and
are controlled by Armour, Swift, Mel
son Morris, the Cudahays and Schwarz-
child & Sulzberger, the firms which
have made packing Town" famous.
The combined investment of the loo
firms within the yards is over 500,
600, 900.
Way back as far as 1slS the Chicago
slaughtering industry was given an
impetus by the establishing of the
"Old Bulls Head" Stock yards. II
was great institution at the time.
In 1860 a half dozen stock yards
were established in various parts OF
the city and the necessity for a union
yard manifested itself, particularly to
the railroad interests.
1t was not until 1864, however, that
the Union Stock Yards and Transit
company was organized with capital
stock Of 81, 100000. A tenth of this
sum was expended for 800 acres "of
worthless marsh land" belonging to
"Long" John Wentworth, and it is
on this meadow that the greatest
packing center in the world is located.
The area has been increased since to
nearly 500 acres to meet the demands
of the rapidly growing enterprise.
Within this yard are twenty-five
miles of streets, forty miles of water
troughs, 5000 cattle pens. 5000 hog
and sheep pens and the enormous
buildings devoted to the killing and
packing business.
Every railroad entering the city is
connected directly with the yards by
the company's belt line, and over four
miles Of platform are used in the de.
livery Of the product to the railroads.

Death OF Edward Earle.

This paper gave short notice of
the drowning Of Edward E. Earle at
Lake OF the Woods Saturday after
noon. The Bremen Enquirer gives
full particulars this week. 1t SAYS
Edward with his father, was fishing
from a boat in the south end of the
lake, opposite the residence of Mr..
Sperry and not far from the shore.
Mr.. Earle was sitting in the middle OF
the boat, with his back to his son,
when he says he heard the young man
groan and looked around just in time
to see him falling out of the boat.
He ran to the stern of the boat to
seize him when he should rise, but
after waiting sufficient time and the
boy failing to come up he fastened to
the shore for help. j. p. Leitch, OF
Bremen, happened to be passing. and
ran to Mr.. Earle's assistance. Secur-
fng garden rake, he finally succeeded
in finding the body and bringing it to
the surface, and attempts we're made
at reconsideration, but without avail
In the part of the lake where the &C
cident happened there is a rank
growth Of vegetation, and the bottom
is covered with soft ooze. From the
condition OF the body when recovered
the young man must have sunk in this
mud or become entangled in the
weeds and been unable to extrIcate
himself, even II he was not uncon-
scious when he fell.
Edward Eugene Earl. son of Thorn
as and Julia Earl, was born in Floyd
county, Kansas, Oct. "a, 1885. Called
into eternity without an instant s
notice, the plans for the future of
life, the hopes and the prospects, the
