Tbe court bouse, three churches and a dozen or more residences were swept away, the flames being fanneil by a fearful west wind that rendered all efforts futile.

A Fine Harvest of Winter Wheat Certain. Chicago, July 2. The Farmers' Review publishes this week careful estimates ba sed on reports from its correspondents relative to the probable yield of wheat in the winter wheat States. With the exception of Kentucky and Indiana, where drought was experienced In April and May, winter wheat arrived at the harvesting stage in good condition and witb good prospects of a large percentage of No. 1 hard.

There is little change in the acreage except in Kansas, where there is an increase of about 25 per cent, and in Missouri and Illinois where there has been a considerable falling off. The condition of the crop at the time of harvest, as compared with Inst year, is as follows: Illinois, 116 per Michigan, 120; Kentucky, 105; Kansas, 110; Indiana, 125; Ohio. 125; Misouri, 130. The average yield per acre is: Illinois, 15 bushels; Michigan, 10; Kentucky, 10.8; Kansas, 20; Indiana, 13; Ohio, 14; Missouri, 18. The acreage is: Illinois, 2.259.640; Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Michigan, 1,612.847.

The total yield for seven States will be 195.873,000 bushels. Assuming that the crop in the other States in the Union will yield the same return as last year 117 the total winter wheat crop in 1889 will be about 813,238,000 bushels. The prospects are also very favorable for a good yield of rye, although ths area is indicated to be about 10 per cent less than last year. The average yield per acre, however, will be heavy enough to make up any defiofency In acreage. The present indications point to a yield of bushels, the largest crop since 1834.
