treatise usual under the circum-
stances. II may be interesting, how
over, for you to know that the Man
haitian is one OF the loftiest. most
spacious. and noblest theaters In the
world. Lighted up and filled with
beautifully dressed women, 1t makes a
marvellous spectacle. AS the achieve
ment Of one man. which It Is from
back wall TO front steps, Il Is nothing

about both there Is calm culture
that Is restful and agreeable. "The
Belle OF Mayfair" now running at

book Of the piece Is by Charles II. Il.
Brookheld, and the score by Leslie
stuart but THE Belle OF Mayfair" Is

Once or twice In my life I NAV have
seen duller and more Thoroughly
stupid llbretto than that which marks

There are Just three bright lines in
the play; one OF them stolen from
oscar Wilde, one from Jerome X.
Jerome, and one from the New Eng
land Farmers almanac for 1906. The
lyrics and the music are quite another
matter More Hitting verses and more

PREDICTS BIG CROP
WINTER WHEAT CROP WILL
BREAK RECORD.
ESTIMATE OF H. v. JONES.
Government Expert Figures Cereal
Will Show an Increase Of Co.
100000 Bushels Over Yield
of Last Year.

Minneapolis. Mimi. National pros
perity far In advance of the high
est known records is emphatically
indicated in the crop estimate OF III. "
Jones, crop estimator, who gave out
his annual bulletin at noon Thursday
Thc winter wheat production of the
united States he gives as 100000, 00C
bushels, 100000 bushels over last
year, and the record crop OF winter
wheat ever produced. Cotton and corn
are in exceedingly good condition, and
with hot July and August may also
break the record; but nothing but Z
wet harvest can lower the wheat crop
says the Jones estimate.
In company with John lnglis, MIR
Jones has Just completed careful
tour OF the winter wheat producing re
gions of the country. Grain merchants
and railroads throughout the country
awaited the publication of his repor
with great interest.
The crop OF Illinois is estimated a
90, OOO, OcO bushels, OF Indiana $4,000, 900
and Ohio 80 900 900. all much in exces,
OF last year. Michigan is slightly be
hind. The west and southwest double
their production.
Upon the crop production the whole
material prosperity OF the country fol
the year depends, the report proceeds
and especially the welfare OF the rail
roads, which are peculiarly dependen
on the crops Wide extension through
out the northwest and southwest is in
dicatei. and general expansion.
The report gives Texas this year a.,
000,O bushels, or twice the yield 0
last year: Oklahoma. 2S,000,0OO bush
els, or more than double the yield o
last year, and record crop. for tn
new state: Indian Territory, 4.000,0O'
bushels; Kansas, 72.000,000 bushels
about the same as last year; Nebraska
50, 900, 600, bushels about the same a
last year: Missouri, S0,000,000 bushels
same as last year.
California is given 100000 bushels
or twice last years crop. On thi
basis the southwest raises about %,
0OO. 900 bushels more than last year
The southern and eastern states anC
Oregon make up the balance, all th'
states having 2 good average yield eX
cept Michigan. which is probably tn
lightest in average yield. For Oklaho
ma government acreage is increased il
this estimate 400 600 bushels.
