BIGGEST WHEAT
CROP EVER
GROWN
GRAIN BUYERS AGREE THAT YIELD
WILL BE THE LARGEST
EVER HARVESTED
SIX FEET HIGH
ACREAGE LARGER THAN EVER
AND THE YIELD IS ENOR
MOUS THIS YEAR
SPOKANE, July 31.—That the
1905 wheat crop throughout the In
land Empire promises to be the great
est ever harvested since the country
was first both to the in
creased acreage of the cereal and to
an exceptionally large yield, is the
consensus of opinion of the grain deal
ers of this city, arrived at after a
careful investigation of the situation.
The acreage this year is greater,
taking the Inland Empire as a whole,
on account of the farmers devoting
less of their ground to summer fallow
and also on account of a vast amount
of land, especially in the Big Bend
country, having been broken up only
iast fall Jit is difficult to estimate the
area of that character of land, but it
is large: aud there still remains vast
tracts of raw land awaiting the break
ing plow.
Lake France, manager of the North
western Warehouse company said:
"Everywhere the wheat yield will be
large this season, especially will it be
greater than usual in dryer sections
like the Big Bend aud western Whit
man county. Those heavy rains last
fall did tiie busiuess. All over the
country the acreage is greater than
ever before, and the conditions this
year have been peculiarly favorable to
an enormous yield, with the exception
of the late hot spell. Fortunately
though the season was so far advanced
that the heat did far less damage than
one would naturally expect. 1 have
not checked up accurately encugh to be
able to give anything like a reliable
estimate either of the average yield
per acre or of the loss by the hot
wave, but I am convinced that the
crop this year will be the greatest
ever harvested in the northwest."
WANTED THE EXPERIENCE
Novelist Wishes to be Locked in a Cell to Get
Local Color for a Short Story
and He Got it
DENVER, Colo., July 31.—Locked
in a narrow cell in a penitentiary and
lfft there for hours by the warden
while an insane man in an adjoining
oell was yelling and cursing at the top
of his voice, is Hamlin Garland's lat
est experience iv gaining local color
for his next work.
The novelist visited the peniten ia
ry and asked permission to make a
•brief sojourn in a cell. He told the
warden half an hour would be enough.
The warden personally escorted Gar
bind to a cell and lo ked him up, and
told a deputy to release him in half an
hour. Whpn the deputy returned to
the office, he found a party of freinds
arid utterly forgot the novelist. It
was several houis later when he again
thought of Garland; and when the
deputy went to release him, the novel
ist was angry, aud was pacing his cell
like a caged lion.

QUARANTINED
DISTRICT
NUCH DISTRESS BEGINNING TO
APPEAR AMONG ITALIAN
POPULATION
NO WORK FOR MANY
RELIEL AND HYGIENIC CAMPAIGN
BEGUN BY REPRESENTA
TIVE ITALIANS
NEW ORLEANS, July 31.—Much
distress is beginning to appear among
the Italian population growing out of
the practical expulsion of the fruit
business from Louisiana on account of
the quarantines, and relief work is one
of which the Italian societies
and citizens' committees will now
have to address themselves to. A
meeting of representative Italians has
been held and permanent organiza
tions formed. A campaign of relief
and of education into hygienic requir
ments of the situation has been decid
ed upon. Several thousand dollars has
been raised for relief and other work,
all the societies having decided to
abandon banquets and other entertain
ments they had planned to apply the
funds set aside for these purposes in
helping their countrymen in the pres
ent emergenoy.
GIRL BANDIT I VERMONT
Six Sheriffs and Sixty Farmers in Pursuit of
a Band of Outlaws s Led by an
Eighteen Year Old Girl
BENNINGTON, Vt., July 31.—A
reminder of old Jesse James in the
wild West comes to the Green Mount
aiu state in the ai .est of a nineteen
year old girl bandit, who appears to
have led a gang of outlaws, who have
terrorised some of the back towns for
weeks. She is in tbe custody o* Sher
iff Wilson, of Bennington county. One
member of the gang is believed to
have been H. Ross of Boston, who was
shot through the heart by his mates,
in the darkness of the underbrush.
They mistook him for an officer. Two
others of the gang are being pursued
through the forest near the mountain
towns tf Rupert and Dorest, by six
sheriffs and a posse of sixty armed
farmers.
The girl under arrest is rather pret
ty but thoroughly hardened; sir* re
fused to give the officers any inform
ation. What little she says indicates
that she has planned a raid on Rupert,
East Pawlett and East Rnpert.
WILL HANG METHODIST MINISTER
Rev. Rawlins Helped Murder Two Children-
Result of a Feud that Existed
Between Two Families
VALDOSTA, Ga., July 31.—Rev.
J. G. Rawlins will be hanged for his
part in the murder of two children of
Rev. and Mrs. W. L Carter, unless a
higher court intervenes.
A feud existed between the two
Methodist ministers. Rawlins and his
two sons and Alfred Moore conspired
to shoot Mr. and Mrs. Carter at the
supper table, then kill the children
when they ran from the house.
The conspirators arrived too late to
find them at the table. However, a
noise drew the children from the
house and they were shot down. Mr.
and Mrs. Carter crouched in the house
all night while the murderers crept
about it waitng for a shot. Carter
finally drove them off with his rifle.
Moore made a complete confession
and the tour men have been sentenced
to hang.

city yesterday, settling up the Affairs

aud criminals who come here during

attention. Gambling has been prohib
ited.
Many coffee houses aud tents aie
being put up for the benefit of the
"Soouers." Estimates upon the num
ber that will come are from 10,000 to
15,000, but the steady inflow of early

of land.
IOWA LACKS WOMEN
lowa has many Thousand more Men than
Women--162 Schools Closed becauae
they Lacked School Teachers
SIOUX CITY, la., July 31.—Iowa
promises to become the Mecca of wo
men since Director Davidson of the
state censns bureau has announced
that there are 46.000 more men than
women. This is contrary to the pre
vailing rule in most states and in the
world at large.
New England, acoordingto the nat
ional census figures, has forty-eight
men to every fifty women. It is anti
cipated that there will be a general
exodus to the state when the census
figures are given publicity. If capab
le of teaching school, women will find
employment in this vocation while
waiting proposals of marriage, as
there is an unparalleled dearth of
school ma'ams in lowa, and 1(52
schools are compelled to close because
of the inability to obtain instructors.
It is believed that the figures compil
ed by the census director accounts for
the shortage of school teaohers.
To Knock the Cock that Crowed in the (Worn
Portsmouth, England, has passed an

crowing. The chicken fanciers say
that it can not be suppressed, but the
London News says that a partial reme

where the cock roosts so high that
when he stands up to crow he knocks
his head against the roof and desists.
A swinging boerd hung over his head
answers the same purpose, it says.

NEBRASKA PRESS
TO DEFEAT BRYAN
WHOLESALE CAMPAIGN OF ED
EDUCATION ON BEHALF OF
"SAFE AND SANE" POLITICS
REGARDLESS OF POLITICS.
OMAHA, July 31.—A newspaper
trust to defeat VV. J. Bryan in any
political operations which he may
cherish, is being formed in Nebaska,
with E. E. Brown of the Has ings Ob
server as active promoter. The scheme
is a part of a wholesale campaign of
education on behalf of "safe and sane
politics," with no reference to the in
terests of any political party.
The plan as outlined, contemplates
the establishment of 21 papers in lead
ing towns in Nebraska to encourage
the anti-Bryan sentiimeut now exist-
ing. The move is prompted by the
fear that another wave of Brayn pop
ularity may be the result of the recent
disclosures of graft in financial circles
and political centers.
Brown and his newspaper trust are
said to have the financial backing of
James H. Kckels, ex-comptroller of
currency; Paul Morton, piesident of
the Equitable Life; Thomas F. Ryan,
the Wall Street King, and Edward A.
Cudahy, the Omaha packer. The plan
is to make Omaha the headquarters of
a chain oi papers and to this end an
option has been secured on the Omaha
Commercial, a weekly paper. The
Commercial, it isfurber said, will be
turned into a daily, and the Observer
will be moved from Hastings to Lin
coln.

Cutting at the Brains ol Four Boys to
Cure C.iminal Tendencies
INDIANAPOLIS. July 31.--As a
result of a conference some time ago,
between Judge Stnbbs, of the Jr-venile
court, and Dr. John Kolmer, a brain
specialist, operations have been per
formed on four boys, with a view of
coring their criminal tendencies.
In each case depressions of the skull
were found. The remedy was applied
in each of these four cases several
weeks ago and none of the toys have
etorned to their old ways.
The authorities believe that the cure
is permanent, and operations will like
ly be performed on the heads of other
youths who seem unable to control
themselves.
