The secretary of agriculture reports that 205,000 acres of wheat sown in Indiana last fall have been abandoned and that the present condition of the wheat crop in Indiana is the worst with the exception of the years 1899, 1893 and 1888, since 1885. Goodland Herald: Jasper county political tine workers are treating the judicial convention discussion with the snme cold, calm indifference showered upon this town by lventlaud county seat workers. Let us hope that this deadly stillness does not preclude a mighty cyclonic intelleciual outpouring later on. Dan W. Simms, chairman of the Tenth congressional district, said to an Indianapolis Sentinel reporter a few days ago: “Our district has the biggest republican majority of any district in the State, 1 believe, boing about 6,000, but I never snw the democrats taking a deeper interest there than they are now. We are going to Lave our congressional convention on May 31st, at Monticello, and it promises to be a ‘rouser.’ The general opinion seems to be that Cajptain Guthrie of Monticello, will be the nominee for congress.”
