NINETY MILLION TONS OF CEREALS
A YEAR

The story of American agriculture
has been the story of our growth IN
population and of the extension OF
our national domain,-a record with
out parallel in the history of the
world. A Chicago man once said that
he had lied great many times about
the growth of his city, but Providence
had always quickly come to his relief.
1t would take a gifted liar to over
state the growth of our agriculture or
exaggerate the marvel of its present
proportions. The difficulty is to prod
imagination to any appreciation OF
the simple facts.
Uncle Sam already occupies the first
rank among the farmers of the Worlo
in the magnitude and value OF his
crops. Although his family constr
tutes only one-twentietn OF the
human race, he produces nearly one
third of the worlds food supply,
while Russia, which comes next as
food producer. has one-twelfth OF the
worlds population and supplies less
than one-fifth of its food. Compare
our wheat crop, for 1900, with that OF
the other leading wheat countries OF
the world

The expert (not Officially estimate
of our wheat crop for the past year Is
seven hundred million, five hundre d
thousand bushels; and the same
authority places our corn crop at

output of wheat for the entire world
in 1900.
We are told, by government author
ity, that our crop of cereals for
single year is ninety mllIlon tons'
Let us try to get hold of these figures
so that they win mean something to
US. How long a train of cars would
be required to ship this crop, allowing
forty feet outside measurement to
each car, and ten tons of grain to
each?
If we had double track betting the

young farm hand. who works on the
Gould farm some three miles north Of

drowning last evening while bathing
at Clear Lake. He was with his BROTH
err Henry Smith, who is a porter at the
Wilson Hotel, and a party of other
young men, who were in bathing near
the north shore. After about an hour
and a half in the water, young Smith
proposed to his comrades that he would
swim to the yacht of c. II. Macnider,
lying farther out into the water. He
acted at once and when within a few
feet of the boat became exhausted. His
cries startled the cottagers along thu
beach and W. +. Huse editor of the
Globe Gazette, and Matt Hegard, a
travelling man, rushed to boat lyfhs
on the shore. Mr.. Hegard was pre-
vented from getting into the boat by
becoming entangled in the anchor
chains, but had the presence of mind to
give the craft a lusty push which has
! tened the rescue. Young Smith had
gone down the third time when he was
rescued by Mr.. Muse throwing him an
oar, which he grasped and was then
pulled to the boat and back into shall
lower water. Smith had fortunately
kept his mouth closed.

Charter Oak, July 18.-A recent de-
cision OF the supreme court which Is
of considerable Importance to newspa-

sturges, editor of the Charter OAK
Times in particular, has just been
rendered by which in the case OF Stur-
ges VS.. Vail, the decision of Judge
Church in the district court was af-
firmed. Mr.. Sturges applied for the
county printing about two years ago
and filed his sworn list OF subscribers
as required by the statute. The SUI
pervisors paid no attention to his list
which was filed by the date set for
hearing, but appointed Mr.. Vail to the
position without any showing. Mr..
Sturges appealed and by Judgment
of the district court was awarded the
contract. Mr. Vail appealed from the
decision OF the district court, claiming
that the district court erred in assum-
ing jurisdiction because the appeal
bond was nIed Win Inc couPly auo-
itor and not with the board OF super
vtsors, and on the further ground that
inasmuch as the board OF supervisors
has postponed their decision to anoth-
er day and granted to Mr.. Vail the
right to perfect his list by such a con-
tinuance. he was entitled to appoint
ment by the showing made on the lat
ter day. The full copy Of the opinion
has not been received here but 1t is
understood that the appellant was
overruled on both the contentious
above stated.

CAPTAIN 1EckwITH DEAD.
One Of MI. Peasants Most Prominen,
Citizana.

Citizens.
Mt, Pleasant. July 1S.-Captain War
rem Beckwith. Mt. Peasants leading
citizen, and prominently known over
the state. dropped dead last night, a
victim of the heat. The news Of his
death spread like wildfre, and came
as great shock to the city.
Yesterday afternoon Capt. Beckwith
was entertaining as his guests. Messrs.
Horace Rand and J. w. Blythe, OF Bur-
lington, and had driven them out to
the fair grounds to see some OF his fine
horses. While out there he was pros
trated with the heat and received some
medical attention, and DR.. f. G. Mehler,
Of New London, was sent for and came
up speedily with DIR. Van AusdalPs
automobile making the trip in thirty
five minutes, and reached here before
Mr. Beckwith died. In the meantime
Captain Beckwith had been removed to
his home and made as comfortable as
possible, and was chatting with his
family and those around him, when,
without warning he dropped over dead.
The cause Of his death was heart
failure or paralysis brought on by the
extreme heat Of the past few days. No
ARRANGEMENTS for the funeral have as
yet been made on account Of the linn
tied time and the desire to commune
cate with relatives and friends at
distance.
Captain, Beckwith was born in 1893,
at Henrietta, N. T., and was educated
at Monroe academy and the Genesee
Wesleyan seminary at LENA. N. 7. He
early took up the profession Of civil en-
cheering for which he had a great tai
ent, and in which he excelled to a re-
ma rkahla degree.

Crop Outlook Near Manson.

SpeclaT 10 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Manson, July 1S.-The oats crop is
about ready to be harvested and from
the outlook 1t will be the heaviest crop
raised here i'm several years. Hay is
unusually heavy and the continued
dry weather has permitted the farmers
to get it in without a drop Of rain
which adds very much to the value OF
the hay. Corn and potatoes are doing
very nicely and with occasional show
ers and on early frost will make album
dant crops. The past four days have
been very hot but no rain has fallen
and the farmers do not seem to be af-
fected very much by the heat while be-
ing in the open air.
