Wheat Outlook.

Dighton Herald: We are in receipt or
very different reports concerning the con-
dition OF the wheat crop. There are few
who profess TO believe that no possible
combination of circumstances could make
anything like crop and there are a few
who say their wheat fields are in the best
possible condition. The average crop
opinion is that with prospects not so good
as at present we have harvested a fair
crop. There is this much that is very
favorable, wheat is at that stage where
1t can live on the smallest possible
amount of nourishment and will hang
on for weeks after it appears to be dead
The rains OF the past two weeks and the
continued damp weather have given IT
renewed vitality which it seems almost
certain is sufficient 10 carry it on 10 the
rainy season. 1t is conceded that 30 or .
per cent of the acreage of wheat has been
destroyed. 1t was generally rather late
sowing, which sprouted last fall. bug
cuold not withstand the protracted drouth
to any great extent. 1t is surprising to a
great many people TO know that on
fields which were carefully plowed last
fall there is still, even after the long dry
spell. moisture sufficient to keep the
wheat growing

Another Scheme.

Digthon Herald: One of the most
cleverly executed piece of fraud was cal
led 10 our attention by a well known real
estate man of this city. In a little town
way back in Massachusetts live two
women by the name of Sargent. One of
them owns some land in Lane county
and on different occasions has correspon-
dence with her agent here i'll regard there
to. As often happens where people of the
same name get mail at the same office,
the other Sargent woman came into pos
session OF some of this correspondence
and by it she was enabled TO dispose of
one quarter section of land fer a cash
consideration.
A few weeks ago the real owner of
the land wrote TO her agent to sell or
lease, but on looking up the record it
was found that she had decided il to
another party and he wrote her to that
effect. 1t was then the forgery was
discovered.
The land is in Lane county, the real
owner lives in Massachusetts, while the
innocent purchaser lives in Chicago. This
should furnish material for a long range
legal battle.

A Funeral Suggestion.

The Sterling Bulletin has this: Funeral
customs are changing, as well as other
things and moro changes will be beneii-
cial to all. An experienced undertaken
said to the Bulletin few days since: Il
would like TO suggest that when people
die that their friends announce that the
remains can be seen at the home be
tween certain hours. Then let the family
take leave with the dead at home and, if
there is a church funeral, that the casket
be not opened at the church" These aTe
certainly sensible suggestions. Nine
tenths of the pepole who view the remains
at the church do so through a morbid
curiosity. Funerals are going cut of date.
Even church funerals are going out of
date Funeral sermons generally arouse
the feelings of the friends ard do no per-
manent good. And in many cases the
lives lived by the deceased make il rather
embarrassing for a preacher, as well as
the friends. The writer never could see
the good sense in taking a man into
church, after he is dead who never at
tended church while living. Some OF
these suggestions followed out would be
an advantage to all.
