Indianapolis, June 18, 1895. Warm, dry, fair weather prevailed with heavy dew on most nights, local rains fell on one day but badly distributed, as no rain fell on many fields, light showers on some, and very heavy rains on few in most counties, especially in the central and northern portions. Rain is much needed for corn, potatoes and vegetables,- except in the few localities where good rams fell. Corn is in good condition everywhere; because of the dry weather it is advancing slowly, but stands well and of good color in well cultivated fields; good rains soon would insure an immense crop. Early potatoes suffer much, but still in most fields they hold their own; in some counties potato bugs are numerous. Wheat is ripening fast; in some localities the harvest is begun; next Week cutting will be done most everywhere; the crop will be but very small, as only in a few localities have the heads filled well, the plant suffered too much from drouth, rust and the fly Rye is ripening fast m many localities; it will be a fair crop in others. The fields have been plowed up and corn planted or the rye is used for fodder. Barley is being harvested in some counties; the crop is light. Oats are ripening; the crop will be very light and in some fields is too short to bind. The hay harvest has commenced but the meadows are dry and the hay is short, making only a poor crop. Clover is being cut every where; the yield is fair in most localities, heads well filled but the hay is short. Timothy is a total failure. Tobacco is nearly all set out. Apples and pears are still plentiful but apples are falling off very much. Cutworms have disappeared; in the north* era portion grasshoppers have done much damage in few localities.

Potatoes begin to suffer for rain; some late po ta’oes are still being planted; many have not come up yet; bugs doing injury in Greene and Lawrence counties. Gardens are fairly well in most localities.

In Floyd county farmers are hauling water. CENTRAL PORTION. In the eastern part of Marion county and in parts of Bo- ne

courty heavy rains fell; in Rush, Owen, Decatur, Wayne and Fayettee counties light local showers fell; in many localities none. Heavy dew fell on several nights. Wheat, rye and barley cutting has commenced in many counties; wheat, in favorable fields, and where it escaped the fly and rust, headed well, but in general the crop is much below the average. Barley and rye yield a fair crop in many counties. Oats are short and in many fields it does not paj to cut it. The clover harvest progresses, it is a fair crop; in Boone county it is better than expected. Meadows are dry and pie hay crop poor; timothy is a failure everywhere. Pasturage is dry. and on some farms cattle is being fed. Corn is in good condition, promising a good crop with sufficient rain soon; the plant is of good color and stands well, although still small ; n clean fields.

On the 12th, in Elkhart county, immense herds of grasshoppers swooped down upon several farms and completely devastated all crops, nothing but the bare stems of wheat, clover and potato vines were left.

The show given at the opera house Thursday. Friday and Saturhay evenings, was hardly up to the standard required to win profitable results in Rensselaer. In fact but three persons, Mr. and Mrs. Le Brandt and little girl, were entitled to any attention from a decorous audience The Leßrandts seemed to be very nice people, but were badly supported and badly managed. Mr. Ellis should take pains to have sufficient police protection in his opera house to save bis patrons from the outrageous cat calls, whistling and general racket that prevailed in the gallery last week. It is a feature that is a disgrace to the town and the summary bouncing of a dozen would-be tough boys is all that is needed to put a quietus on them. * Burk’s bridge has been accepted by the county and isopen to traffic. A heavy traction engine was the first vehiele to pass over it. The bridge is said to be a nice one and reflects credit I on the contractor. John Hack, of 1 Lowell.

A newspaper is to be started in Wheatfield. Arthur Hopkins was in Chicago Sunday-Tuesday. The city hall is receiving a new coat of paint this week. The wheat crop in the vicinity of Francisville is said to be splendid. Will Mossier and Moses Leopold drove over to Remington Monday. Miss Thompson of Chicago, is visiting at her father’s— Grandpa Cotton. John Norman and wife, of Valrao, made the Pilot office a pleasant call yesterday. E. M. Spriggs was down from Wheatfield Tuesday. He is handling real estate and loans. John Hack, the Lowell contractor, has commenced work on the new Stackhouse bridge. Engineer Bostwick had his fingers severely squeezed in a press at the Sentinel office a few days since. Prof. Weaver was at Lowell Tuesday night attending his band class. He is also teaching a band at Gillam. Chas. Chipman sports a purchased with the results of his own thrift on the farm, file is one of the best riders in town.

The case of James Rodgers, charged with an unmentionable crime, and that of Wm. Denniger, charged with the depot robbery, will come up for disposition this week. H. J. Bartoo, recently foreman of the. Republican printery was in Chicago, Monday, to purchase a new job printing office, which he proposes to locate in Rensselaer. John L. Hershman, of Medaryville, was a caller at the Pilot office a few days since. He is in quite poor health from the long care of his invalid wife, who died a few weeks hence. Fred Parcells had a very severe fall from a cherry tree yesterday morning. It is thought his shoulder is dislocated though it is too badly swollen at th is time for the surgeon to ascertain. Through some miscalculation there was no judge to hold court here this week. Judge Wiley intended to have his place filled the first of the week by another judge, but for some unknown reason no substitute arrived.

Rensselaer Celebration.

In another column will be found a full announcement and program of the exercises for the Fourth. No pains are being spared to make the paradp worth coming far to see. The participants are already training for the event and preparing their costumes, which will be superb. Tom Saier has the bicyclists in charge and is organizing them so as to make a very effective spectacle. There will be a number of good clowns. The bicycle races, which occur in the afternoon, will be hotly contested. Probably no town can produce more really good riders then Rensselaer.

NUMBER 52.

THE NEW OPERA HOUSE.

It is with pleasure that the Pilot announces the intention of Manager Ellis to thoroughly rebuild his opera house and make it larger and finer in every respect. It is his intention to put in a full horse shoe balcony and incline the floor of the main hall. The building will probably be made 20 feet deeper and some office rooms put in the front. An important feature will be the providing of two front and two rear exits for fire emergencies besides the main stairway. The work will not be done until next spring, though the tire exits will be provided at once. Mr. Ellis promises to make it one of the finest opera houses in any small city in Indiana. Nice opera chairs will be installed and tine new curtains and scenery put on the stage, which will be modernized. The best electric light and gas systems are contemplated, besides a perfect ventilation. Mr. Ellis is deserving of much credit for all the good things he promises for Rensselaer, and his efforts to please them should meet a hearty support.
