FOREIGN CROPS GOOD.
Grain Yield in Europe VIII Exceed Ex-
 peetatIOns


 Washington, D.. C.. Sept. I7-Condi- tions of the crops In foreign countries as reported to the Department of Az riculture. indicate that the European harvest has greatly surpassed expec- tations. In Roumania alone have the general results, because of severe droughts in July, fallen below the pre- harvest estimates. The wheat crop of hungary has also failed to give even the moderate results looked for month ago.
 The latest forecast of the probable yield in Russia indicates a general good harvest.
 Estimates of the worlds probable wheat crop have been published during the month by two English trade papers and by the Hungarian Ministry of Az riculture. As compared with last year these estimates show a gain of from S5.O0O,000 to 270,0O0,0OO bushels in the case of wheat. For corn, an increase of 265,o00.000 bushels and for barley, a gain of 334.000.0 900 bushels are indi- cated by the estimates of the Hunga- rian ministry; oats shows the enor- nous increase of S57.0O0.0O0 bushels. while rye is placed at only 24.O0O, 900 bushels above last years production.
 From Argentina comes the official announcement that the reduction of wheat acreage on account of the long drought was less than anticipated.

 Some time after the passage of the |Carmichael bill and the Fuller liquor 1 bill and some other bills, seventy cit- izens, more or less, decided to provide flor the entertainment of their friends l tn their own homes. Seventy money orders. more or less, were sent to an Tout vf State brewer. In due time, sev- |enty barrels of unmentionables, mare Tor 1ess, were placed in the same freight lear and consigned to parties in Mont |gomery.
 In further due time, the said freight lear arrived at It's destination. Then the local transfer agent of the lbrewery experienced cold chills In the |region of his spinal column. It was

 But Sheriff Hood, not wishing to be placed in a judicial position, and seeing |that the county's maintaining blood hounds would be useless in running to |earth a decision, decided to appeal to Icol. Garber. the States legal sharp And it is now Col. Garber's move. It seems that the law reads that the contents of the car cannot be trans- ported through the streets.
