AFTER JACK FROSPS VISIT

WHAT SHALL THE HARVEST BE? The- Crop of Indiana TThent Generally Poor An Fnnsual Corn Acres Cut Worm nt WorU Fralt Vninjurod Enconraginjf Outlook. In re syonse to recent re quests sent from this office to Sextixel correspondents throughout the state, we hare received special and reliable information regnrding the present condition and prospects of the growing crops. Wheat does uot promise over half an average crop, but the corn, of which aa unusually large acreage is out, with anything like a good season, will make up for the wheat shortage. The cold snap and unusual frost deposit of last week did no great damage to anything except, perhaps, grapes, which suffered very materially. The outlook for oats, grsss, clover and fruit is generally encouraging. The crop condition o nearh every county in the state appears in tha following specials: Adams. Decatte, May 2X Wheat almost a total failure; oats in excellent eondition: corn plantingU done. All spring crops are looking well. Irospc-t for fruit excellent; the recent frosts have not injnred fruit in the least; garden truck in some locslities slightly injured. Allen. FORT Watse, Hay 20 Wheat crop will ran about 25 to 40 per cent, of the usual crop; clover badly frozen otit, and will be equally 6hort; backwardness of season very favorable for fruit; expect a large crop. Bartholomew. CoirMBCS, May 20. WTieat Inoks well and will make about two-thirds of a crop; corn promises well, although somewhat damaged by frost, but the aventee is larger than for several years; clover, timothy aid oats do not promise more than a half crop, )wing to the drought; fruit was not much damaged by frost. Beaten. Fowler, yiij ?0. A iVat crop a failure and Tery little sown in Benton county; large acreage of oats ßown, up and looking well; farmers finished planting corn, some of which is up and standing well: corn prospect has been greatly damaged bv late- cold rains, and a very large acreage mu?t be replanted. IIooU. Lebaxox, May 20. Mnch wkeat plowed up and sown in oats or corn: not to exceed half a crop expected ; some eood whfat in south and southwest part of county; except the grajies, which were injured by the late frosts, the fruit prospect are good; torn and oats slightly injured. Cruwfoia. ENGLISH, May 20. Fruit are all right ; the recent frost has greatly da isaged the gardens, corn and potatoes; pro.-pe? lor oat and wheat are good tor more than an average crop; prospects fair for a good general crop. Clay. ' BRAZIL, May 20. Wheat nnproiuiing third of an average crop expected A great deal of oats has been sown, but does not look well generally; too cold and dry. Dut little corn planted; fruit damasred by late frosts, but can not say to what extent. Gardens hare suffered materially. Cass. LOGAXSPORT, May 20. WLeat will not exceed one third average yield; large acrcaee of potatoes planted and prospect good ; cold and rains have retarded late corn planting some, yet there will be a full output; cold wave passed over without injury to fruit and tender vegetation ; prospect of an abundant crop L the report of farmers. Clarke. Jzffersoxville, May 20. Gran and oats short; wheat looks like 7- per cent; corn much benefitted by recent rain, but threatened with destruction by cutworms; garden vegetables and potatoes badly injured by frost; strawberries and small fruit, grapes and tree fruit on low grounds badly frost-bitten. The peach orchards, vineyards, etc., on high ground escsped frost. The fruit prospect except grapes not affected by late frost, and peach rrcp promises to be immense. Carrol. Delphi. May 20. The wheat crop (acreage riot plowed up) will not yield more than ouethird crop fully 40 per cent, has been put in corn; oats will be in excess of average crop. A large area of corn has been planted, but cold weather retard growth. 'o old clover; crass coming on tinely; small fruit regarded injured by frost; vegetation generally backward. Clinton. Frankfort, May 20. Wheat Is very poor, not more than one-third to one half crop; oats are looking well and there i a large acreage; com prospects are fair. Fruit and vegetation of all kinds are backward; frost has not injured fruit as it was not far advanced. Fair weather, warm nights, etc., will bring all out except wheat. Dearborn. Lawrexcebcrg, May 20. The growing crops in this county are in excellent condition; wheat looks fine and is above the avenge in the slate; fruit promise? well; frost did but little damage, and that only to early vegetables and tender plants. Daviess. WjisniXGrox, May 0. In river bottoms wheat never looked better. Very fair on u inlands. Backward weather somewhat retarded watermelons and corn. Froit did nut hurt fruit. Del.i ware. Mo'CTK, May 20. The outlook for gTOwlnfr crops is discouraging. Wheat will hardly yield hslf the averatre, and in many cases the land has been plowed again. Fruit may trive a good crop. The straw lerry harvest will be good. The recent cold soap did a little damage. Dubois. Jasper, May 20. Recent rains have greatly revived the nnt and hay crop. Wheat that was at a standstill is taking a new Hart. Garden vegetables were rather ierioiily affected by the nevere frost. The fruits bid fair to yield an extraordinary crop. The frost may have injured less than 10 per cent, of the fruit. Indications point to a general yield in this section of the state far above the average. Dekalb. Ancp.X. May 20. Wheat promises half a crop; oats looking nicely; corn just coming up. Late rains have kept late farmers from planting. Grasses now doing well. Fruit prospects 5ood; also the vegetables. Lato frosts have one no material injury. Decatur. GKKEXSBrF.G, May 20. "Wheat is very poor; eats correspondingly poor; corn good; fruit good j no frost to hurt; reeent rains will probably improve everything materially. Klkhart. GOSHEN, May 20. Prospects good; wheat is Improving and at present indications will bean average yield; oats look well; fruit prospects good; no damage from frost; corn not all planted. Fonntain. Attica, May 2C Wheat, about one-half crop; oats, fine propeetand large average; frait not killed and proiect good; vegetation uninjured by recent cold. Floyd. New ALBAXT. May 20. Wheat will yield two-thirds of ordinary crop; truit prospects excellent, except raspberries", which will fall bort; splendid yield of strawberries promised; fro damaged nothing but corn and early vegetables. Fulton. POCn ESTER, May 20. Wheat crop is surprisingly improving from day t.i day with a reasonable prospect of a fair crop; corn nearly all planted; oats doing fine; large average of coin and outs over last year; frost did no damage to fruit crop or vegetation. Fayette. CoxxErsvTLLE, May 20. Corn is backward, with much replanting. Wheat presents an average prospect. 1'otatoes and garden vege

tables are badly frozen and destroyed. Grapes are believed to' be ntterly destroyed, the vines in many places being frozen black. Apples, pears, etc., are not perceptibly damaged. Franklin. Brookvillk, May 20. Wheat not more than half a crop. The early planted corn is through the ground but looks yellow and sickly. Karly pot a tos and garden stuff killed by recent frosts. Cherry and other fruit blossoms were, many of them, barren from the beginning, but such as were fertile are still growing and appear healthy. Grant. Marios. May 20. "Wheat will not make onefourth of the average crop; prospects for corn and oats is good: small vegetation and fruit looks well; frost Has had but little effect on fruit or vegetation. Green. "WORTlnxciTOX, May 20. The growing crops, from general appearance, will averaee uboni 60 per cent. The fruit crops will be good, the small fruit especially so. f he recent cold and frost did some damage in certain localities where the orchards stood on low ground. Potatoes, beans and corn that were forward were all killed by the freeze. Some potatoes escaped badly damaged. Harrifton. CORYDOx, May 20. Much o the corn is killed by frost. Wheat and oats all right. Fruit blasted to some extent. lleurj. New Castle, May 20. Wheat, with favorable weather, will yield J0 per cent, of acreage. Corn-planting about through; increased aereage put in; early planting ijnnred slightly. Oats, large cn.-p out. Gmpes on low ground seriou.-dy damaged. Other fruits good crop and uninjured by frost. Hnntiugton. . IIrXTlx;Toxt May 20. Wheat not over onehalf crop. The pronpect for fruit very fine; nothing injured by frost; corn as forward as usual at this time of year. Hendricks. Daxvillk, May 20. Fanners are- sloomy over crop prospects. Wheat will uot be more than one-fourth of a crop. Many fields have been plowed and put iu com or oats. Karly corn is badlj damaged by tut-worms and the late frosts have blighted tender garden truck, potatoes, grapes and small fruit. Pastures are hört and thiu; elover nearly an entire failnre; all kind of fruit trees promise a fair yield. Fanners are replanting and with warm weather, after last ni?ht'. copious rain, the outlook will be much improved. Hamilton. Noblenville, May '2 The fruit crop is splendid, while tlie wheat crop iN slim; will be about one-hall of an average yield. Jacksou. SEYMOrn, May 20. Wheat not materially injured, promises a fair crop; eorn planted in good season, coming up well, but damaged somewhat by cut worms during the late cold spell; fruit but little damaged but falling oil' considerably in consequence of void weather; melons replanted iu some localities.

Prospects good for wheat: large acreage of corn planted; vegetation killed by the recent frost and cold, but the fruit is all right. Jay. Portland, May 20. Wheat poor; oats good ; prospects of fruit fair, but damaged tome by recent cold. Kosciusko. Warsaw, May 20. Wheat looks very fine ; oats are coming up nicely; corn planting is nearlv finished, the cold weather of the last ten days having delayed it somewhat; jrrass is coming forward rapidly, and there is a splendid prospect for fruit ot all kinds, as the recent frosts have done little or no injury. . Lnke. Crows Toixt, May 20. Condition of growing crops generally good; prospects of fruit fair; eflect of recent cold and frost on vegetation has been to damage it some. Lnporte. Laporte, May 20. Wheat badly winterkilled, especially on the prairie land. About one-half of the usual crop will be harvested. Some sheltered fields and nearly all in the timbered lands .show fairly well, although the crop is unusually backward in growth. The oats and com crop have been put in in excellent condition of ground and the outlook is favoruble. There have been frosts during the late cold weather but they have done no damage as far as can now be seen, and the prospect for all kindj of fruit has rarely been better. Knox. Vixcexses, May 20.--Gencral crop prospects very good; wheat yield will be very large; Fruit in sjdendid condition, except Btrawlierries, which have been damaged by dry weather and recent frosts; potatoes looking well. Lagrange. Lagraxge, May 20. Wheat and grass art coming out nicely; wheat will average tair.much above last year; apple blossoms promise an abundance of fruit : small fruit will be plentiful; farmers are hopeful; crop of democrats promises well. Marshall. Plymouth, May 20. Wheat generally injured by fall drouths and spring frosts; the crop, however, will be considerable; wheat backward. Oats look well. Gras is well forward and heavy where seed caught; inaiiy failures of timothy and clover to catch of last spring and fall sowing. P.ye good generally. Corn sprouting, but likely to rot unless warm weather conies at once. Planting about over. Fniit in full blossom, and crop will be large if not killed by frost or cold east winds. Potatoes np and growing fast. Late frost and freeze did no harm. Monroe. r.LOOMtXGTOy, May 20. "Wheat verr hackward, a two-thirds crop; corn jnjured by frost and many fields destroyed , by cut worms; meadows half crops; peaches . and apples injured by frost, but not killed; strawberries destroyed aud small fruits a failure. Morgan. Martinsville. May 20. Wheat looks bad, only a good field here and there; grass is light: prospect for fruit good except grapes, killed y the cold and frot; beans mostly killed, and the corn and potatoes cut down; peaches and apples bid fair to be abundant. Madison. Anderson, May 20. "Wheat will not be one-, half of average crop. The raius.and cold weather have retarded corn-planting and damaged that which was planted. The fruit damaged some by recent frosts. Miami. Perc. May 20. The prospect for wheat is

not good say one-fourth crop. Owing to the i i i ii . e l . - ! com aua oacKwaru spring, me irim is not nun. Newton. Kextlaxd, May 20. Little wheat and poor; fair prospect for fruit; col l weather wit n frequent frosts has kept farmers from plauting corn ; com planted is rotting in the groand, and unless we have warm weather soon the prospect for a crop is not good. Corn is the principal crop raised in this rection. Oats look fair. Noble. ALBIOX, May 2 Prospects for crops and fniit very good. Cold weather and frost has retarded vegetation. Owen. Fpf.ncf.r. May 20. Frost killed many garden vepetables, raspberries, grapes, etc. The growing corn was cut down, but will come again. Corn is doing badly, looks yellow; oats

"We have had twenty-four hour of 6teady cold rain. Most corn planted, up, destroyed by frost on Monday niaht. Prospect for wheat glooiaV enough; about one-fourth crop is the estimate. Karly vegetables, corn, beans, potatoes, tomatoes were cut by frost, and the greatest destruction prevailed among grapes, which were very promising. Apples, iwaches, cherries, plums, raspberries, strawberries aui blackberries are sale. like. PlCTERSBtRG, May 20. Wheat fair; some complaint of chinch bugs; corn and gardens being destroyed by cut worms; fruit crop is eoing to be very good. Pecent frosts did no nana to fruit; Jiad a nice rain, and ail depends now on warm weather. Foey. Mr. Vi:nxox, Max 20.

Sec'y Heron of the state board of agriculture, when seen by a Skntlnel reporter .Saturday, said: "In my opinioa the general outlook for the wheat crop h very poor, and certsiuly not j over liMf a crop will be produced, though everything depends on future weather. Should It be favorable, better result (au safely be ex licctcd. The department of agriculture in its last estimate places the crop at .r9 per cent, j The chinch buir. it is reported, is doing cousid1 eruble damage in lertaiu localities. The j weather the past week, except for a little ehilli1 ness, has Wen very favorabk. The prospects I for the fruit crop zrt good. As yet I have neara no complaint irom growers, ana as tuere was in all loeilities an abundance of blossoms, the indication point to miccessful results." Mr. IxKkbart of the state board of agriculture said: "In De Kalb county the prospect for mioiiig a tine crop of wheat is good. I have one lartc licld that will yicid more and a Letter crop than it has for twenty years. In the extreme northeast part of the state the pro-peets are fair, but the general outlook in very discouraging. Tbefruit crop, as far as appearances go, will be exceedingly good." Mr. L. II. filanton of the Acme flouring mills "The prospects for wheat are mighty uncertain. The crop w ill only equal GO to bo er cent, of lakt year's crop under the most favorable circumstances. The crops in Southern Indiana will yield a larger percentage than tlio.e in the central and northern part of the state." Mr. D. P.. Llachmore, grain merchant "In Central Indiana tlie crop is very poor. Twenty counties iu Southern Indiana will have almost a full crop, while twelve to twenty counties in the extreme northern part of the Mate will yield three-fourths to a fair crop. The weather from now until harvest will have all to do with the turning out of the crops. There has been considerable of an improvement mce the last report of the government, the weather having been excellent for the growth of grasses. In my judgment 60 to C5 per cent, of a crop will be yielded." Mr. W. P. Overman of Ovennan & Co., grain dealers "From the information I have received there will not be over 3J per cent, of a crop of wheat." Mr. W. II. Thompson, with W. W. Scott & Co. "It is quite evident that the crop will be t-hort, but alter traveling abont the state ami observing the outlook it seems to mo that about 60 per cent, is about tha outside figures of the crop that will be yielded In the southem part of the state, and afi?0"ln the extreme nortiieni part almost an average crop will be yielded." Mr. S. X. Gold, commission roerchant--''The outlook for fruit in general, from all advices, is very good. In places there is n rather short crop of strawberries, but as far us I have been able to ascertain. . the other fruits will show un well. The frost to some extent and the dry weather last fall injured the crop somewhat, but hardly enough to be noticeable. Tho season is quite hackward, but doubtless the second picking of berries will yield a considerable amount. It is a little too early lor anything to be said of the apple crop, but it is understood that the Illinois crop will fall short this yeur." Mr. John Plumber?, of UcattyA: Blumberg "From what I have been &bje to nvenain, the fniit crop will fall considerably short all round. This is due to the frost and dry weather of last fall and the lateness of the present season." Mr. Prank Mnmmcnhoff, of Meummenhoff & Co. "The demand for fruits is as yet very light, and the indications arc that the crop in general will be shot, though there will be a good crop of cherries. It is somewhat early to speak of cpples." Mr. Henry Syctup, of Sycrup & Co. "It is hard to get a true and correct statement about all fniits. In this vicinity Muall fruits, such ns berries and tho like, predominate, and for this clas the prosect? are favorable, though hardly a full crop will be realized. The state of the c rops in general in this section is also fair. Peaches and all fmall fruits in the fcouthern part of the state are iu good condition; have not a yet heard from the north. There will probably be a short crop of early berries on account of the dry weather last fall." Turpie Will be llenrd From. Washington Special. Now thnt the controversy over Judge Turpie's seat in the U. S. senate has bcet practically settled, his friends intimate that it is probable that the judge will be heard hercaf tor more frequently than he has been heretofore in the senate. They say that he has kept out of all political discussions upon the advice of political friends until the committee ou privileges and elections had acted on his case. It is bard to get an Indiana democrat to say anything against Turpie. They say he w ill wake up some of these days and tu rprise everybody. He has taken little or no part in the discussion in the body, but he has always been in his seat and has paid the closest attention to all the debates. He imJnesses strangers, or those unacquained w ith :im, as a sort of a dreamer, but it is claimed for him that ho is thoroughly posted on ever' subject that comes before the senate and that he is fully able to hold his own with any other member of the body. The Truth ot History. Lfnrette Journal. Boss Snyre and his gnng have been knocked ailly and" they should hang their heads in shame. The republican press will please take notice that it is JSenator Turpie. There arc no "if" nor "r.nds" about it. Now let the republican party in Indiana get down on its marrow bones before the people and penitently confess that its unworthy members in the last legislature were .the sole cause of defeated legislation. They-. tried ,. to steal a U. S. senator and failing in this they sat down 011 the stool of "do nothing," and did nothing except to draw a salary of $d per day out of the state treasury. .Such is his-tory, tnithfully told. . 1'ieti JUars.Ieii Suicides.

We invite the attention of the war tarifl screamers to the fact that the farmers were out in force at the democratic convention and that the indorsement of President Clereland'a tariff message and policy was unanimous.

THE SIXTH SENSE.

Margret Ilolme Picture a Desirable, lint ttoptan Condition. - I walked toward the house of my neigh bor in the expectation of seeing her friends before they went away. I hvd thought of them while I was dressing, and of the pleasant time we had tho day before. I had arranged my hair and all the email accessories of my toilet with an eye single to preserving, or possibly strengthening the pood impression I was" sure I had made. "When within a quarter of a block of the house I could fee tho side window of the faniil- room, by which sat my neighbor. My Urst glance assured me ehe was alone. I went on to the door, but I was right. Her friends had gone on un earlier train than they intended when I saw thera last. They were at that minute a hundred miles away. a There my hotesH und I talked of impressions given by the outside of a house. We wishea that people generally would cultivate the faculty of reading'the language of brick and mortar, naiU and lumber. Ve wUhed our formal friends would understand the preoccupied air that must drape our houses like a garment' when the fire is unlit in the best room and the priestess thereof, clad in her second 1-est wrapper, is running the sewing machine uLfain.t time and fate. There must be, at times, a veil of reticence thick as London fog over our dwellings if people would only open their eyes and see it. My friend and I wished that the men who go about the streets wearing gorgeous rugs over their shoulders could comprehend the fetroug fctare of our windows, and so Let the wind sweep and tha p'.orer cry, But they go by," without ringing tlie door bell. We wi-shed the soap men, the potato and apple men. the pearline men, and the women who sell to deluded mortals the kind of corset that we would not wear i'cr love or lucre, would see eullenness, or povertv, or exclusiveaess, or dress reform, in tlie countenance of the front door, and an incipient galvanic battery in the bell handle. It is not pleasant to liasten from the kitchen, or the garret, or the cellar to the street door for the purpose of saying, ""o, 1 don't want to purchase to-diy." Think of the time and energy thus wasted in a city of a hundred thousand people! We wished that the man who comes with the step of a grenadier to the kitchen door would note but for an instant the expression of its countenance, li he did he would not usk in such a confidential way: Say! hain't you folks got an old clothes-wringer w'at needs inendin?"' Nor would sorue other one rail out with the air of a drum-major: "Now fetch on your tubs if you want them fixed up." .Such greetings are rasping to the nerves, and disturbing to the mentality. The best of stories, the most profound of essays, the most musical of TMjeins, have been put to flight (at least that is a plausible way of accounting for mv failure to produce them) and in their pface has remained the wonder why these people accuse me of destroying chattels I never possessed. Why do t Lev insist that I am the promulgator of practices I disapprove? Have I not declared for years that laundry work in the average residence is most injurious to the health of women and children of the household, and wears the morals of men to tatters? And yet, itinerant mechanics come to me for tubs and wringers to mend ! Are our beliefs and principle? of so little force then that our dwellings refuse to don our livery? Do our habitations cast into the dust the colors of their sovereign? Do they sullenlv stand to be hailed by the wayfarer, "Cnder which king, Ik-n-zonian ?" If this be the case, why should Lowell sigh: "The whole k'.h dwelling srew conscious, And put on her xk and ways." But Lowell is right. When I saW my friend at her window the house stood prim and expectant, ready to blossom into pmiles, as didits mistress when she opened the door. She . was tired and all her belongings wore a subdued air. fche knew I would not mind if she highed or even yawned. The house, too, seemed to nsk Indulgence. But the masses are not yet educated to recognize thee things. Margret Holmes. Tested. Boston Courier. "Yes, darling," he said, in tones of deep tenderness," I would do anything to how my love for you." "Ah?" sighed the gentle maiden, "that's w hat all men say when they are striving to win a woman's heart." "Put me to the proof," he exclaimed, in wild, passionate tones, "put me to the proof, test me and see if I fall. Set me any tap k within the bound of possibility, and it shall be performed." "Ah!" she murmured, "if I oould only believe you." "Put me to the test. Say to me do this or do that and it shfdl be done." 'Then I will put you to the test." "Ah!" he exclaimed, exultingly, "you shall behold the height, the depth, the length, the breadth, the circumference of my love? What if the test?" The maiden dropped her snowy lids until the silken lashes rested on the peach bloom of her cheek, a flieht smile dimpled the corners of her mouth, and bending over tiie youth, who knelt at her feet, she whispered: "Marry some other girl!" .V Candid Organ.

There is no disguising the fact that as republieans we will need to strip ourselves for the fight in earnest, and the sooner we realize what we have before us the better it will be for us.
