of 100,000,000 bushels of wheat, a

and the total spring crop of the
United States at 100000 bushels
The winter wheat production is esti-
mated at 425,0O0,o00 bushels, giving
total for the United States of 1885,
100000 bushels, or The largest yield

HEN THAT RIDES HORSEBACK.
Kentucky Fowl Becomes Famous as
an Equestrenne.

Danvilie, Ky.-It has remained for
Boyd county to produce the most re-.
markable hen in Kentucky, if not in
the entire country, the bird being an
equestrienne of such pronounced abil-
ity as to seriously jeopardize the life
of a valuable horse The hen is owned
by John B. Stout, who lives in Lex
ington avenue. Two years ago he got
number OF Plymouth Rock chickens,
among them being pullet.
She at once took up with the horse,
dining from the same trough, and
finally learned to ride Mr. Stout's
buggy horse. The animal became ao-
customed to his unusual rider and
could never be gotten out OF a jog.
Yesterday Fred Vermilion drove his
Ape harness horse in from the coun-
try and stabbed the animal at Stout's.
Late In the afternoon, when he went
to get him, the hen was found perched
on the back OF the horse and riding
In circle as though she enjoyed it.
The animal was nearly dead. as he
had been whizsing around the lot at
high speed for hours. Although a
hen, she sis strictly fashionable, rides
astride, and the horses never go too
fast for her.

Stacy's name went ON the ballot. The
dead man, Stacy, polled sixty-three
votes and zepp but fifty-one. zepp

REFORM GRAND jury sYsr1M.
Bill May Appear at Next Session Of
Legislature


An attack on the grand jury system
of Iowa will be made at the next ses-
sion of the legislature in Iowa if any
member of the legislature can be found
who will introduce the bill. The fail
ure of the grand jury in Polk county
to indict officials of the Des Moines
Street railway for bribery when eye
witnesses testified to all the bribery
transactions is the cause of the new
bill being introduced. Alderman Ham
cry and those who worked with him
to get the evidence of the bribery are
behind the deal to get the law amend
ed as to grand juries and no stone will
be left unturned in the effort The
law provides that the judges Of cleo
ton shall certify to the county clerk
names of persons suitable for grand
jurors and also for petit jurors. The
county clerk and county auditor are
required to put the names on ballots
eliminating those persons who served
the year before. Then at time pro-
recorder meet and from those names
are required to choose by lot the num-
Der necessary for the panel. Twelve
men make up the panel for the grand
jury for an entire year, and from these
at the beginning of each term of court
the clerk draws seven men to act as
the grand jury. 1t is claimed that the
preparation OF the ballots from the
lists as certified by the judges of cleo
ton is not properly safeguarded and
there is opportunity to leave off or
put on names without detection.

In 20 tons of rock, anthony being
quoted at $3.50 ton.
When Ingham went into the in
terror of Okanogan county year ago
to become rancher and farmer he
was induced to buy farm, on which
after years hard work he decided
nothing would grow. While repairing
q piece of fence knocked down by
cattle he broke several rocks which
blocked the postholes. The rock
showed silvery streaks and he be-
leved he had found a silver mine.
Samples were sent to Loomis,
Spokane, and Los Angeles, and Ing
ham showed some of the rock to vet
eran miners. The latter called it
graphite and tried to discourage Ing
ham from continuing his operations,
but he kept at work with pick and
shovel until the report of the assays
reached him from Spokane and Los
Angeles, advising him that there was
showing of anthony in rich guam
titles.
The news spread rapidly to the
Okanogan camps and the mining men
who first laughed at Ingham's discov.
cry are now sending prospectors into
