A large amount of plowing is being done on the Brown lands north of Shelby and thousands of acres of corn will be put in there this season. The many dredge ditches that have been put through these lands during the past few years have worked wonders, and the land has been transformed from worthless wastes which were under water from the Kankakee river overflow half the year, into nice looking ftnd fairly productive fields, and is getting better all the time a* it is being Improved and cultivated. Last year the early frost caught the corn and it did not amount to much, but from present appearances the owners or tenants are going after a crop again with more vim even than last year, and in addition to the large amount of corn ground being prepared they have out a good many acres of oats,

some of which look the best of any we have seen this year. Brook Reporter: Rees Hill returned from Canada the first of the week.

FIRE 1,000,000 ROUNDS

Army Officer Tells of Civilians Being Killed In Constantinople. London. April 20.—“ Should fighting occur in the streets of Constantinople the loss of life among the civilians would be enormous,” is the opinion of an American army officer who witnessed the revolutionary outbreak at the Turkish capital last Tuesday. “As an instance,” the officer continues, “there was a clash between two small sections of soldiery. Three soldiers were killed and seven wounded, whereas the casualties among civilians amounted to sixty. This ia accounted for by the fact that the populace, apparently without fear, mingled freely with the troops and received a large number of the bullets intended for the rebels.” This officer estimates that at least 1,000,000 rounds of ball cartridges were fired to celebrate the success of the revolt and he believes that many women and children must have been killed or wouijded in their homes, as the walls of the houses have no more resisting power than so much paper.
