Tho Streator Free 1'mn has the following
story of an old Ottawa ixy: "Mrs. Howard
living out west of town, was in at Heenan's
Monday doing some trading. When the show
came along she went out too look at it, and
went off leaving her pocket-book, containing
$000 in checks and cash, lying in the store
Frank O'Mera, one of the reliable clerks of
that establishment, found it, and hunting her
up returned it. It was fortunate for 3frs
Howard that it fell into the hands of such an
honest boy as Frank, as so largo a sum would
be a great temptation to any one."
Tho Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis &
Chicago R. R. Co. (owners of the Kankakee &
Seneca) have issued a circular giving details
of the manner of disposal of the $1,000,000
additional stock authorized to be issued in
May last, for building the union depot and
grain elevator in Cincinnati and for adding to
equipment. The stock is to be issued prorata
to the stockholders of record on June 1, at DO
cents on the dollar, payable in six installments,
and it any stocK remains not taken by July 1,
it will be disposed ot by the directors.
Monitor, Streator : "A short time ago a car
load of Streator screenings was sent away to
be converted into coke that some substantial
opinion could be formed of its jwssible uses
in that direction. We have a sample of the
coke in our ofllce that was madu from that
carload by John Enders, in Grape Crock, 111
Tho presence of so much sulphur In our coal
has always seemed to make Its coke useless in
making iron, but Mr. Enders writes he is con
fident tho coke can be satisfactorily used. The
product of tho carload has been sent to the
north Chicago rolling mill, where it will be
thoroughly tested by a competeno chemist,
and if the report insures its successful compe
tition with Pennsylvania, coke vork will be
erected here at once by tho several companies,
with a capacity ot 100 tons. The estimated coat
ot a ton of the material in Streator is- $1. The
support of such works in as large a mining
town aa Streator will be of incalculable bene
fit to the coal companies, and give us another
great industry that in the very nature of things
would have an tneioausiiDie suppiy oi worn
ing material."
crops within the vicinity of Campbell most
yield fully up to the average. Farther north
loss favorable weather delayed sowing into
May, Hnd even in some localities into the pres.
cut month ; and I am informed that north of.
Fargo the prospect is not so fluttering us it
might be. Still with favorable weather through
this month, that Is, cool, dry wea.lier wheat,
oats and barley may still do well. Farther
south oi us, say from 00 to 70 miles, all kinds
ot spring crops were considerably delayed by
the continuous wet weather whicL so retarded
planting all through Iowa, souttern Wiscon
sin and a large portion of Illint.is. Still, in
the main, it is thought Minnesota will this
year turn out a larger yield than she ever did
before.
Reports irom southern Dakota re not quite
as favorable as those received Iron the central
part of the territory, but fully aa good as those
received from the northern part. Both the
northern and southern portions of tho territory,
like this state, were atllictcd wi:h a little too
much rain about the time we wc:a having the
finest possible weather here for gutting in our
crops. In some portions ot Dakota I hear of
grasshoppers making their nppcarauco during
the past week of hot sunshiny weather
Should they become very numerous they might
seriously interfere with tho otherwise promis
ing prospects of our farmers here as they mi
grate in clouds just as soon as they aro fledged
and may visit us just when we least want to
see them.
Joe and E. P. Hathcway seem lobe getting
along finely. They nave in over one hundred
acers ot wheat and oats which looks very fine
Miss Anna Hatheway arrived here last week
accompanied by Aliss McKeel, Mr. McKcel
having taken the Philadelphia House, in
Campbell. I presume sho will remain to assist
him during the summer. Miss llithewaywill
remain with her brother and keep honse for
them. Dr. Vance of Ottawa is also here and
has been visiting tho Hatheway boys and oth
er Ottawa acquaintances. Between now and
harvest is a good time for our friends to visit
this country, as most of us have more leisure
now to show them around than any other part
of the season. Then, too, tho cops are now
beginning to show to good advantage. Har
vest this year will probably comnence about
the 25th of July.

To The FkkkTkadkk: Having a little
leisure to-day I have concluded to give your
many readers a brief statement of what our Ot
tawa boys (as far as I can learn) are doing, and
what the outlook is for the coming season not
only with them but for this section of the coun
try generally.
In the first place I will speak of the crops.
The wheat, oats, barley and potatoes all look
exceedingly promising. Most of the sowing
and planting was done ln April, and continu
ous favorable weather has so developed them
that unless some extraordinary event should
occur, which now cannot be foreseen, those
' About thnt Money.
Pedro made a statement in the Fhkk Tka
Dtii of April 2i)th with regard to tho money
spent by the Commissioners of Highways in
the town of Ophir, stating that the town of
Troy Grove did three times the work we here
done in Ophir, ami that their hills are not so
largo as ours, which is a mistako, as I am in
formed by good authority. They spent $1,800,
or an average of $1,500 for the past three years.
We all have plenty ot mud as well as our
neighbors. Now we think, friend Pedro, that
we can show more for the money spent than
any town joining us. The next time please
write truth, and there will be no opposition.
As to stealing I think one is uot puilty till
proved guilty. As to giving Pedro hell, it is
uncalled for. It is already full ot other sub
jects. Yours Truly, Way Siuk.
Oats. Fifty-five cents a bushel for oats is a
pretty stifffiguro in this part of tho world nnd
affects tho price ot livery as well as of oat meal
porridge. The present figures, however, can't
hold on much longer, if the Juno outlook of
tho oat crop in Illinois, as gauged by the state
board of agriculture, is to he relied upon,
which says:
The condition of oats is more promising
than a month ago. An increased aceragc or bet
ter yield is promised in n majority of thecoun
ties. The area is larger than last season, when
08,7 14,584 bushels were harvested, and the con
dition is more promising than at the corres
ponding date last year. The greatest yield per
acre is promised in Southern Illinois, and the
condition is better in Central than in Northern
Illinois. In the north division the acreage is
six per cent, greater than last year andthecon
dition is eight per ceut. better than at the cor
responding time last year. The crop is above
the average in every county in the northern
division, except Carroll, Jo Daviess and Cook.
The prospect is encouraging for an average
yield in the central counties, Adams, Calhoun,
Logan, Pike and Schuyler being the only ones
behind tho average, while more than half of
the counties promise more than a halt average
yield. The greatest increase of acreage is in
the southern portxm ot the state. The most
marked improvement the past month is in the
central division. The prospect has improved
14 per cent, since the first of May. and the con
dition June first is !) per cent, better than that
of June first, 1881.
