April 23.-The progress of Joseph Jeffersons last ill., ness was followed anxiously in this his Cape Cod nome. and the announce ment of his death tonight was received with genuine sorrow by the towns peo- pie to whom he had become a familiar figure during fifteen years of summer residence here.
 So popular was Mir. Jefferson on Cape Cod that he had served for many years as the president of the old colony club the summer driving club of the Cape whose annual repasts have been at tended by many distinguished men.
 With former President Grover Cleve- land, he enjoyed many fishing excur- sions down Buzzards Bay and along the brooks of Bourne and Sandwich. His principal pasttime however. was paint ing.

 Joseph was also the name of MT, Jefferson's father and grandfather and all were actors. The lives of the three were similar in that their early careers were struggles for recognition and all most for livelihood.
 Up to 1857 MT. Jefferson is said to have merely attained the standing of a respectable stock actor. but in that year he became associated with Laura Keene's theatre in this city. Mir. Jef- role of Asa Trenchard in Our American Cousin" This play ran for 150 nights. Other characters portrayed were New man Noggs in Nicholas Nickleby," Caleb Plummer in The Cricket on the Hearth" Dr. Pangless in the Heir at Law" Bob Acres In ''The Rivals" and Dr. Ollapod in the Poor Gentleman"
 In 1860 Mir. Jefferson visited Cali fornia, but abandoned that field for Australia, where he spent a profitable four years. London was visited against his own inclination in 1865, and at the Adelpht Theatre he played Rip Van Wrinkle" for 150 nights. After ap- bearing in some of the larger cities in England he returned to New York in 1866. Since 1867. when he married his second wife, Miss Sarah Warren. he confined himself to few favorite plays of which Rip Van, Wrinkle" was the principle one. Several months ago Mir. Jefferson retired from the stage and has since divided his time between Florida and Cape Cod.
 A characteristic trait was displayed in his anticipation of pleasure upon his tours through New England. He was the recipient of the degree of M. A. from both Yale and Harvard, and when in Boston or New Haven he was invariably requested to address the student body. request which he al- ways compiled with and the reception he received from the college men with their noisy and lengthy cheers was something that MT.

IN THE WHEAT BELT.
Great Bend is town of $500
fpeoPle, situated northwest of Hutch
inson, on the Missouri Pacific and
Santa Fe railroads in the heat of the
richest wheat producing country in
the United States. Great Bend is
unusually attractive in appearance, as
evidenced by her handsome stores,
broad streets, and modern municipal
Improvements, and with hotel, tele.
phone, electric lighting and water SER
vice which are indicative at once Of
the status of her business and derasa
bihty as a place Of residence. That
she is the county seat Of BnaTto
county, which has this year produced
the largest wheat crop of any county
in the United States, gives some idea
of the substantial foundation upon
which her industries are based.
WHEAT PRODUCTION.

showed that Kansas leads the world
10 the production of wheat, and Bar.
ton county, with a crop of over
1000, 900 bushels, is the heaviest in
the state.
The revenue from the wheat alone
if equally divided, would leave over
$40 for each man, woman and child
in the county.
The land Yields from II to 40
bushels of wheat to the acre, and a

is not at all unusual. An average

The Walnut Creek Mills was the
