BURGLARS START HOTEL FIRE
Blow Safe in Store-Hundred Guests
Flee From Blaze

: Wilkes-Barre, April 21.-Evidently
frightened away after cracking the
safe in stationery and postcard
store in which is located substation
of the Wilkes-Barre postoffice, burglars
in making their escape, dropped a

fire to the store. The building is in
the Fort Durkee hotel, on the public
square, in the heart of the city.
One hundred guests in the hotel
rushed from the building in their night
clothing.
The burglars blew the safe and took
sS5 in stamps. In the safe were $500
belonging to the government and
$500 which the proprietor of the store
John Beible, had left in the safe. This
money was intact.

MOUSE GAVE GREAT
 SHOW LAST EVENING
MINSTREL FOR THE DRUM AND BuGLE CORPS WAS BIG SUC-
 CESS IN EVERY WAY.

The annual minstrel show of the Moose lodge, which was held last evening in the Auditorium tbca,er, was a great success in every way. The opening of the show was ar ranged in a novel manner, the drum and bugle corps, for whose benefit the minstrel was staged being assem- bled on a platform in the rear. All covered the drum or the organization. The curtain went ul to the strains Of "Swayuee Riber." which was followed immediately by swinging number, "Only One California For Mine, '" which brought out the end men in a rattling march number which was executed in excellent style and with lots of good old pep"
 Will St Aubin presented the first number, singing The Mis issipDi Barbecue" and he made a decided hit with his song and dance. So much so that boys from the "101 Ranch Wild West Show tossed B lly' a most magnificent bouquet of flowers on the stage when he had finished. Every number was encorel time and again, those who sang and the songs rendered being as follows.

 EXCEEDED.

Washington, April 7.--Wnter wheat came through the freezing months in excellent shape. growing on the great est acreage ever planted in the his tory of the country Prospects for a record crop probably were bligited by the unusually dry fall and scatter ing evidences of the Hessian fly which caused the condition to be only SS.3 per cent of a normal in Decem. Der.
 During the winter the general con dition improved one half Of one per cent as shown by the department of aGriculture's canvass made April 1 and announced today.
 Tn ecrop reporting board. basing it's estimate on the April condition and the area planted last fall, placed the prospective crop production at 6i9.- O00,000 bushels. That is thirtynine million bushels more than was indi- cated by the condition at that time in December The production will be in- creased or decreased, the board pointed out by conditions from April 1 to time of harvest. A steady i'm provement in the condition might bring forth crop closely approach ing last years production of 6S4,990, GOO bushels, which was a record
