STATE CROP REPORT.

From The C. S. Weather Bureau al Purdue University. WEEK ENDING MONDAY, JUNE 24. Favorable Weather Practically Insures a blood Corn Crop and Improves Pastures. Since the issuing of the following favorable bulletin by the Central station at Indianapolis there has been local rains in Jasper county that still further adds to the improved prospect for the dissipation of tne drouth that has so seriously injured small grain and pastures. Corn has suffered very little but pastures have been nearly ruined.. The weather during the week was exceedingly favorable to crops; warm weather continued, and very good and general rains fell in the central and southern portions on Wednesday and Thursday and local rains in the northern portion on Tuesday. Corn, potatoes, vegetables, some late fields of oats, and pasturage were improved by the rains. Corn is in excellent condition, of a good stand and good color, with fields well cultivated, and by the late rains a large crop seems almost insured. The wheat harvest is progressing almost everywhere; the rain stopped the cutting for two days; the heads are well filled, the grain is of good quality, but the crop stands thin, does not ripen evenly and the straw is short. Rye and barley harvest continues; rye in general is a fair crop, but barley less so. Clover is nearly all cut; the hay is short; the second crop is growing slowly. Timothy continues to be a failure. Oats are ripening, but it is very short; some late fields have been benefitted by the rain, but, in general, the crop will be much below the average. Tobacco setting is nearly all done. Much millet is being sown; in some localities meadows are plowed under and millet and corn is being put in for fodder, as the first hay crop is very short. Bees are making but little honey. Apples and pears continue to be improving.

SOUTHERN PORTION. Light local rains fell on Wednesday but on Thursday slow soaking rains fell, in some localities more than four inches; the rains were general and they were very beneficial, being so much needed, and farmers are much encouraged. The wheat, rye and barley harvest continued, only interrupted during the two days it rained; the heads are well tilled, but the straw is short, and in most fields the snocks stands thin. Rye, in general is a fair crop, barley perhaps less so. Oats are ripening slowly; it is very short, but some late fields have been benefittedby the rains and will be high enough for the reaper; the heads in some localities are well filled. Clover is all cut; in Jackson county the second sowing is coming up nicely; in Bartholomew county clover is hulled, the yield is from three and a half to four bushels to the acre. Timothy is short and a failure most everywhere; in Washington county, in some fields, there will be two-thirds of a crop. Hay is very short and the crop light; pasturage and some meadows have been improved by the rain. Potatoes have’been much advanced since the rain; in Switzerland and Dubois counties the early potatoes are not in good condition; late potatoes in many counties have been all planted, but in some counties planting will' only commence next week. Tobacco setting in Switzerland county is all done. Apples and pears are still promising, but apples are still falling off much. In Dubois county springs and wells are still low. CENTRAL PORTION. General rains fell also in the central portion; they were not so heavy as in the southern portion, but enough to refresh and improve all growing vegetation; corn and potatoes, which needed rain most, have been much benefited, and the corn crop is almost insured; it is of gond color and

RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY. JUNE 27, 1895.

I a good stand in clean fields. The wheat harvest continues; the straw is short and the headswell filled, but it ripened uneven, and in many fidlds it is standing only thin. Rye and barley is being cut; the rye crop is fair, in Owen county good; barley is a fair crop. Oats are short; in some localities rains have improved late fields; in Randolph and Boone counties the crop is almost a failure. Clover is all cut and an average crop, but hay is short. The hay crop is light and short. Potatoes are coming on nicely since the rain; bugs are doing injury in Wayne county. Beans are still being planted in some localities. Tobacco is being transplanted in Wayne county. Bees are making but little honey in Union county. Cherries are ripe in Owen county. In Rush county raspberries are selling for $4.00 per bushel. Apples and pears are still promising a good crop. NORTHERN PORTION. The rains which fell in most localities on Tuesday, and in few localities on Wednesday and Thursday, were only local and light; in many localities no rain fell. Wherever good rains fell everything was improved. Corn and potatoes are growing nicely; corn is coming on only slowly, but promising a large and good crop; it is of good color and well cultivated. Wheat, rye and barley harvesting continues; the heads of the wheat in general are well filled, but it stands thin and the straw is short; the crop will be below average; in Warren county, wheat is better than expected. Rye is nearly all cut; the crop in general is fair. The heads of the barley in most fields are but poorly filled. Hay cutting continues; the crop is short; in some counties but little hay has been made and farmers are depending on corn fodder; in Porter county cattle are fed and meadows have been plowed up and millet and corn fodder planted; in Jay county pasturage has been improved by the rain, but most everywhere the pasturage is no good. Timothy is a failure nearly everywhere. Gardens are not in very good condition; cut. worms destroyed the first planting, and for the second it was too dry. Apples are falling much, but there are still plenty. Vegetables have improved. Blackberries and raspberries are a fair crop in Whitley county. A good crop of cherries have ripened in LaGrange and Huntington counties.

Fourth of July.

The Committee on Arrangements have arranged to have a grand Bicycle Parade at 9.30 o’clock on the morning of the 4th of July, and the bills state that it will be led by the Citizens Cornet Band, of Rensselaer, Indiana. Now in order to carry ont program to the satisfaction of all, Mr. W. T. Perkins has kindly consented to rig up a band wagon for the purpose of heading this grand parade with the band. This wagon will be drawn by four hofses; and will be decorated after Mr. Perkins’ own idea of decoration. We hope that all bicyclers will take an interest in this and come out on that morning prepared to join in the parade. It would be we'll for all who will participate in this parade to meet on the vacant lot on the south side of the river, where they will receive instructions as to how to move in said procession. Should be there not later than 9 o’clock, on Thursday morning, July 4th. It would also be a pleasing feature in this parade if parties coming into town and those living in town would decorate their horses any vehicles with flags, bunting, etc., and join the parade, following up the bicyclers. All of this will be under the charge of the Officers of the Day and the Committee on Arrangements. The names of the Officers of the Day are printed on the bills, and Mr. Thomas J. Saylor is Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, so any one desiring inforrnatior in regard to this matter will see eithea of these gentlemen. We hope everybody will take an interest in this matter, and make it one of the best 4th of July celebrations that has been in Rensselaer for many years past.

Jack Knight and wife were in Flint. Mich., last week, attending the trial of Charles Cordry, who is quite famous in many localities as a bigamiist. It is even said he has reached the polpgamist mark, having eight wives, marrying seven in the past four years. He is wanted by the authorities of Hammond on the same charge. He is held on bond to appear at the August term cf court where he will doubtless receive the reward he justly deserves. Deep sympathy is felt for his first and lawful wife, nee Mary’ Sharp, of this place. Married at the residence of the bride’s parents at Lebanon, Ind., on June 3d, Mr. Alfred A. Hoover and Miss Eva A. Jackson. The groom is the eldest son of ex-treasurer Wm- M. Hoover and one of the most popular and prosperous young farmers in the county. The bride is a well known teacher, having taught several terms in the common schools of this county, and for the last two years in the grammar department of the Rensselaer High Schools. The happy couple went to the home of the groom s parents Friday afternoon and in the evening a party of Rensselaer people headed by the Rensselaer cornet band in full dress uniform serenaded them. After some excellent music the father and mother of the groom appeared with the happy couple and introductions and congratulations followed. Then followed refreshments. Delicious cream and the choicest viands of tropical lands tempted the serenaders to a hearty repast, after a pleasant evening and some more excellent music the company broke up. It was an occasion long to be remembered by the happy couple to whose honor it was given as well as to the serenaders.

Notice.

Balloon assension for the 4th» of July has been changed to fireworks instead as the committee failed to secure a balloon and areonaut.

McClure's Magazine for July.

Most readers will be surprised to learn, as any one may from an excellent illustrated article in McClures Magazine for July, how the telegraph has now crept into the remotest crannies of the earth, and is transmitting its hundreds of millions of messages a year at a constantly lessening cost in money and trouble to the public. The same number contains a dramatic chapter from the history of Tammany—the automatic reitrn of Tweed, with all its barbaric and illicit splendors, splendors maintained by the theft of untold millions of gublic money. An article by ir Robert Ball, Professor of Astronomy in the University of Cambridge, England, shows that recent scientific discoveries tend to support the theory that other planets, as well as the earth, maintain life. Hamlin Garland describes the home and studio life of Edward Kemeys, and relatives, mainly in Mr. Kerne.ys's own words, how, without instruction and under the irresistible uigency of natural bent, he became a sculptor of frontier life and wild animals. Portraits of Kemeys and reproductions of his chief sculptures illustrate the paper. Cy Warman.the poet engineer, describes a ride on the locomotive of a London and Paris express. Cleveland Moffett supplies, from the Pinkerton archives. a history of the stealing of an express parcel containing $41,000, and of the discovery of the thief and the recovery of most of the money after years of search and pursuit. A poem addressed by Edmund Gosse to Robert Louis Stevenson but a day or two before his death: Stevenson’s rare address of thanks to the Samoan chiefs who built him a road, and his will; and several excellent short stories, among them one by‘Q” and one by Stanley J. Weyman —are the other noteworthy features of the number. The publishers announce with this number a reduction of pric6 to ten cents a copy, or one dollar a year.
