The stata department of agriculturo has prepared an elaborate report on the condition of crops in this state, based on careful reports made up to the beginning of this month. It shows the corn area to he about the same as last year in the northern part of tho state and sliahtly larger in the central and southern in the latter about 2 per cent, larger. The condition of corn in central Illinois is not so good as the 1st of June, but with favorable conditions the yield per acre will be almost an average. The drouth has retarded the growth of the plant, but the stand is good aud the fields unusually free from weeds. In southern Illinois the corn condition is not so good as In tho other divisions of the state.

Over half the counties in the state ae paying attention to the cultivation of broom corn, and in tho larger portiou of these an average crop is at least promised. Adams and DeWitt counties make tho poorest promise in this crop. The report throws little light on tho winter wheat crop, but shows that. July 1 it was generally in better condition than at the correspouding date in any year since 1882. The meagre reports from the threshing machines at the date of tho reports did not furnish data for estimating the yield with any degree of accuracy.

The rye prospect in northern Illinois was good for only a little over thrco-fourths of an average yield in central Illinois and somewhat less than an average in southern Illinois. The highest prospects in the state are credited to Adams and Shelby counties. The Spring wheat prospect July 1 wi.s only good for throe-fourths of an average yield in the northern division. La Salle, Lee, Stark, Warren, Knox and Iroquois counties rating highest, and only three counties in the central division promising an average Champaign, Moultrie and Schuyler. Prospects for an average yield of barley were found only in Champaign, Morgan, Randolph and Whiteside counties, all the other barley-producing counties rating downward, the lowest being De Kalb, where tbe prospects were only 30 per cent.

ROBBED ON THEIR OWN CAR. Wabash Officials Visited by Itoa Agents In Illinois. St. Louis, July 13. A bold robbery was committed on the special car of General Manager Charles M.

Hayes on the Wabash road. General Manager Hayes, General Freight Agent Knight and Assistant Agent Crane left the city for Chicago in tho manager's special car. The car was attached to the regular train and was in charge of a porter. At a late hour General Manager Hayes and Mr. Knight retired to their staterooms, while Mr.

Crane contented himself with an ordinary section. The porter retired to his apartment near tho door of the ear. About an hour before daylight and while tho train was speeding along in the vicinity Strawn, 111., Mr. Crane was rudely awakened by a rough shako and found a masked man standing beside his berth with a big revolver, which he pointed directly at the passenger agent's head. "Now thnn, pass over your monoy mighty quick," said the robber, "and don't make a fuss, or I'll shoot the top of your head off." Mr.

Crane passed over his money, and in doing so exposed his gold watch and chain. "Give me that watch and chain," continued the robber, and Mr. Crane passed over the watch and chain. The robber then looked around tbe car, and finding no one, started to leave. He stumbled in tho aisle and aroused the porter.

Ho covered that worthy with his revolver and threatened to kill him, and the negro becamo as docile as a lamb. Mr. McCabo arose and pulled tbe bell, which seemed to be just what the robber wanted, for before tho train stopped he jumped off with his booty and escaped. Done in Trne Clilvulrom Style. Atlanta, July 15.

J. K. OooniN, J. P. Charley Itobbins still says that "that Local-News is making him lose money." In the face of the fact that Charley has always been so friendly toward us and worked so hard for our interests, ihe action we have taken in Mr.

ltobbins' case goes to show that we are utterly devoid of any sense' of justice or appreciation of kindness. Yes, Charley, we ought to stop the paper if you wished it. WichitK kicks hard. A writer in the Eagle says: "Take Ingals from Atchison, Plumb from Einoria, state penitentiary from Leavenworth, state house and Santa Fe shops from Tnpeka, cut off the biennial appropriations made by the legislature for the benellj, of the northeast, and these cities -would be more hopelessly bereft than a family of babes at the loss of a father. Racing shells and other boats are now made of paper at Lansingburgh, New York.

The reports concerning his health are very contrpdictory. The more pessimistic view of his condition appears more worthy of credence. Dr. Wagner, of New York, an expert in throat disease now at Havre says: "I am sure that in six months the prince will either be dead or very near." The following table shows the population of the principal cities of Kansas for this year so far as we are able to get informatin. In this table it will be seen that Topeka leads, while Wichita is second and Leavenworth third: Topeka 38,741 Wichita Leavenworth 31,400 Kansas City 27,000 Atchison 23,000 Fort Scott 15,000 Lawrence 12.000 ....10,000 Huthinson 9,912 Wellington 9,682 9,000 Newton 8,339 Salina 7.811 Parsons ,.8,400 Abilene 7.000 Winfield H38t Garden City 6,234 Arkansas City .6,066 I dependence 5,000 Took a Drink of Water and Died.

Chicago, July 15. John Artam, a carpenter, residing at 475 Blue Island avenue, met with a sudden death. He reported for duty at 7 o'clock as usual. After taking oil his coat he walked to a hydrant to drink some water. Turning away he walked only about ten steps when he fell dead to the floor.

The cause of his death is a mystery. The body was taken to the morgue and the coroner notified. They Worked The Clerk. Campbell Is 'Willing. Columbus, Ohio, July 15.

Congressman James E. Campbell, of Butler county, who is a close personal friend of Judge Thurman, in View of the latters positive refusal to be a cundidate for governor has concluded to have his name go before the Cleveland convention for tho nomination. The clerk at the Baer house feels inclined to inflict a booting upon himself to-day lor permitting himself to be bilked out of a dinner yesterday. A well dressed lady and gentleman, apparently companions, were among the passengers who dined from the Kansas City express. When the couple retired from the dining room the lady immediately proceeded to the car, while the man leisurely picked his teeth, and finally asked for his bill.

He expressed surprise when charged for the lady's dinner, and refused to pay for it-in fact, entirely repudiated her. The young man with the diamond pin frantically pursued the woman, and she remarked with some surprise that "she supposed the gentleman would pay." "But he won't," said the excited cl i "Well, I won't, too," was the decided, if ungramatical response. When the train pulled out, the pair was in a double seat, loudly hilarious. Back to Africa.

Did somebody say that ihe cider joints would have to go The free delivery follows hard upon the numbering of the house. Ottawa wants the Rock Island; and what Ottawa wants she generally gets. There is one thing a boy never forgets and that is, an injury done him by a man. About the only way a person could please everybody would be to commit suicide.

California must be a terribly poor country when people will leave it for Missouri. The natural advantages first and the rustlers second made Kansas the great common wealth she is. You can't always tell a dog by his collar for instance if you find the collar In a link of balognia. A person who will work hardest for a town and not the wealthiest man, is the most valuable citizen. The hind horse at the start generally makes the other fellows hustle, along near the three quarter pole.

Unless the street car track is macadamized buggies will be continually breaking down in crossing it. Never argue with a man who argues Bimply efor the sake of an argument. In nine case3 out of ten he'll get you mad. The Peddlers' union of New York will issue 20,000 circulars appealing to organized labor to recognize their union card. Why wouldn't a few gas lamps be a good thing for lighting the side streets They come much cheaper than electric lamps.

The Ring will be an inappreciative machine indeed if Judas Iscariot Willis is not nominated for county commissioner. The fellow who first wrote that are deceitful" must have been looking at a big, awkwark sweitzer cheese. We noticed Selix hovering around the vicinity of the Ilambliii House all day. He is trying to get into the next stall to Hope. The excavating for water and gas pipes after the macadam is down will cost three times as much as to do the work now.

There isn't a town in the state that hasn't an assured thing of from two to ten railroads, and manufactories innumerable. The street car company might just as well macadamize their road bed now as later, because the city will not permit it to go undone. Topeka compels the laying of water and gas pips before pavements are laid, but Ottawa's city attorney says it can't be done legally. Carpenters are officially advised to keep away from Chicago, St. Paul, Toronto, McKdesport, Peoria, New Haven, Boston and Cincinnati.

Gasoline stoves are gradually being superceded by gas burners. Gas as a fuel or light is the best and cheapest as well as the safest article in existence. ''WhafchMMci)' on, may be we don't want to ask that any more. We'll see Mac some time next week and then give the straight of ltobbins Frederick's letter. If the council won't compel the gas and water companies to lay their pipes before the macadam Is put down, they ought at least to compel the companies to replace the dirt and macadam taken out of a ditch in as good a shape as it was before the excavation was made.

Noble L. Prentiss closed his of July oration at Marquette with the following sublime peroration: "Gather the flags; all the flags, those that speak of victory, those that confess defeat. Hang them together in some high hall in the nation's capitol, and let their toin, tattered and bloodstained folds speak to the hearts of future generations. They will need no interpreter. More eloquent they than any moital voice.

More grap'iic and powerful than any historian. Let them speak. Disturb them not. And when the morning light shines in upon them, and when they grow dim in evening's shadow, and hang wan and ghostly under the moon, you will hear a voice saying, 'Fight not against God, for behold Ho walks the earth, and His high decree i3 freedom; freedom at last for ail Texas Way of Discussing Prohibition.

Fireman's Herald. A Baby Cyclone. A heavy wind storm which might possibly be called a small cyclone, passed over the Maurh'e St. John farm, occupied by Mr. Miller, 16 miles northwest of here.

Wednesday. The corn was leveled to the ground, trees were up-rooted, and a shed wherein the farm hands had taken shelter was lifted from the ground and scattered in the wind, without injury, however, to the men. The baru was moved a few inches on the foundation. A threshing machine was standing by the barn and lost its carrier. Hail accompanied the wind and was so thick on the giound that a man could scoop up a double handful almost any place an hour after the storm.

Nobody was injured. A WONDERFUL AMUSE ME NT FEDERATION. John B. Doris'Great Inter Ocean Circus, Monster Meaager Worlds Museum a ad Elevated Mage, Combined with D. Colviu's Grand Roman.

The society has over 100 members.

They have sent delegations to wait upon our Senators and members of Congress, for the purpose of securing their influence in favor of encouraging the emigiatlon of negroes to Africa. The object of the society are stated to bs as follows: "Inasmuch as the continent of Africa is now attracting the attention of the leading civilized nations of the earth; and, believing as we do, that it is the place designed by nature and nature's God, the home of the colored man; and having formed ourselves into the Society known as the Western African Emigration Society, and having been brought to this country against the will of our forefathers, held in bondage over 200 yea's, liberated through a political accident, and feeling as we do. that we can never rise to any great eminence under the over shadowing greatness of our more fortunate brother, Japhet; we therefoie take this method of appealing to the charity of those who reel able and are disposed to aid us in the cause of African emigration, and In helping us to cultivate the little seed sown by the great philanthropist of America, and in aiding us to build up and perpetuate the good work so nobly begun in establishing the Republic of Liberia; and inasmuch as we believe and have learned through experience that we, the colored people of America can never be a representative people without a representative government; and finding, as we do, that only a few of the colored people of this country have accumulated a little wealth, and that these few are so bitterly opposed to African emigration that they are making every effort possible to get away from their original nationality and to be absorbed by the white race; we have therefore found it necessary as a last resort to Appeal directly to the white citizens of America for such aid as they feel able to give, to aid us in returning to our fatherland, to preserve and elevate our race in the eyes of the world, and to build up a United States of Africa, which, In the future, will be a benefit and an honor to 'America aud a blessing to Africa, AH ASTOUNDING ORGANIZATION.

The accessories for making tho play a success will be porfect, I am sure." The reporter stated to Mr. Mackaye that some one In the profession had made the remark that "Anarohy" was a strong piece, but required too strong a company to mount It. "Ah," the author sold, "that is a trouble, but we expect to overcome that." Mr. Mackaye deolined to talk about the makeup of his fall company. Anything ha might say would be promature, ho said.

Some of the original cast would be In the piece, no doubt. In tho course of conversation Mr. Mackaye spoke of the stage In a general way. "Dramatic act is only in it infuncy," he said, "and our so-called theaters may be called gaming houses, or something out of which there Is a chance to make money by speculators. Could Beethoven have written hit massive symphonies, operas and oratorios without profound knowledge of the science of muslcP Of course not.
