POLICE An old ex-soldier Morris Het- land got on an enormous drunk yesterday and was arrested.

Last night, at tbe po lice station, he had the Jim Jims, and saw more snakes in a minute than a sober man could count in a wetk. The thieves are very adroit and bold this cold weather. This forenoon a fine dark brown chinchilla overcoat was atolen from tbe display frames ia front of Reupbe's clothing store on Second strcot. The act waa committed in broad daylight, and with people passing every moment. No trace to the coat or thief.

The Rock Islanders not long sgo in their intinso desire to discriminate aeainst Davenport, compelled all Davenport brewers who deliver beer in that city by wagon to take out rceular peddlers' li censes, To-day our police returned the compliment by notifying tbe Rock Island brewers tbat they must peddle no more beer in Davenport until they have taken out licenses here. A soldier from the Arsenal, named Pat. Meahar, came to town yesterday on leave absence for tweive hours, and, getting into tonvlvial became very drunk. He was arrested, locked up at the police station for the night, ar sent over to the Island this morning. When got siber he wis not particularly cheered ud by the vision the guard house and cutting off of wages tbat would his reward when he reported for duty headquarters.

The river beiasc at a very low stage a few avs of the present weather, with the gorging already accomplished, will make in many places a solid mass of ice from the bottom of the river upward to the surface.

This means an ice locked river till spring from Cairo upward, and then at the breaking up a general destruction of boats in exposed positions. Tbe only boat thus far reported as having been de- troyed by the blockade is the DeSmet. Quite a number of boats are in exposed positions some where they are almost certain to be cut down when the break- comes. The Dan Hine. of tbe Keokuk ne, is high and dry atPoitage des Sioux, near Alton, abondoned by the cew, except engineer and watchman.

Tbe Andy Johnson is at Fort Charters. The War Eagle, Clinton, and G. H. Wilson, of the Keokuk boats, are tied up at St. Louis-most of tbe other boats belonging to the Keokuk Northern Line are sale in Alton Slough.

The Centennial, Crystal City and Annie are in a critical position at Platen Rock. My Choice is comparatively safe at Foster's. Taken altogether the outlook is not the healthiest for boatmen, and their losses in the spring, if a sud ien and violent break up occurs, will un doubtedly be heavy.

1st, and after that date it will be unlawful to kill any kind of game. Some of the sportsmen are in teresting themselves in the matter, and propose to see that the law is enforced. The greatest inroad that is being made is upon tbe quails, large numbers of which are being trapped, sold and shipped out of tbe State in violation of law, the heavy snow being favorable to hunting and trap-Ding them. This kind of game hasn't been so plentiful before for years, a fact that is due to the partial enforcement ot the law. The only way to keep cp the supply is to continue to enforce it.

My visit being made during tbe months of November and December, I was nn able to make a personal examination of either the condition or fertility of the lands daring their productive season. My object was mainly to vick np general ira presslons from the condition and appear ance of the inhabitants, and I therefore sooKht my information from fanners, mer chants, speculators and visitors like my self. Before going north I made a trip to the southern part of Minnesota, to what is called the Garden of the State, for the purpose of better being able to compare It with tbe wheat fields of the North. The comparison stood in favor of the North about as follows Neame ta rsartrf tbout the same. Yield tut wrt about 20 per cent, more, Quality worth 10 to 15 cents more.

1 passed along the entiro lice of the Northern Pacific R. between Brainerd and Bismarck, consuming fourteen days ia the trip, and the re alt convinced me that the "Valley ot the Red River" is the most productive land of all I passed over. The land, in appearance, Is as Sat and level as tbe sea. The soil Is a rich black loam from 20 to S3 Inches in depth, formed from a precipitate tipon what was originally the bed of a vast like. It is so free from foreign matter tbat a broken plow-farrow is almost unknown through out the whole valley.

Beneath this soil is a porous clay soil of four to five feet in depth, which absorbs Water as fast as it falls. This is supported by a deep, compact clay soil, through which water will not pass. The result is that tbe almost perfect level character of land enables each foot of toil, after receiving its own proportion of rain, to absorb it when it falls. The depth of the subsoil is suffi cient to receivo and bold excessive rain falls without injury to vegetation, and its retentive character affords a moisture to tbe surface when drouth destroys the pro ducts of other regions. Wheat is the principal cereal raised, al though the climate is well adapted to the growth of all grains, except corn.

Tbe yield of wheat per acre csn brt be shown by comparison Red Hirer reionn. Greatest jte id per acre, 45 biwii bn-ti 8malie 1 8 Average 2i IS The state of Minnesota will average in her best years 17 bushels per acre, and has heretofore been regarded as the finest wheat-producing country in the United StHtes. The quality of wheat produced in Red River Valley makes a still better showing. Of the wheat marketed at Chicago dunog the year, the proportion welch grades No. will seldom be 5 per cent.

This list season it was only three-tenths of one per cent. The receipts at Duluth, the princi pal market for northern Minnesota and Dakota, showed last season 59 per cent, of No. 1 wheat. The preceding season showed 85 per cent. But a still letter idea may be formed of the quality coming exclusively from Red River Valley, in the fact tbat tbe total product of wheat from the Cass and Cheney farms, consisting this last season of 112,000, bushels, all eraded No.

1. Nearness to market is the next point of importance. Reference to the map shows Duluth to be jnst as near commercial centres, by way of the Great Lakes, as Chi cago is, and therefore as zoed a marKf i.

In the aoove report I have shown the advantages this country has in the three Important elements necessary to profitable wheat raising, viz Quantity, quality and market. My statements are conscientious and free from exaggeration. The question Is frequently asked Can these land be made to produce richly year after year without rotatioa of and without rest The reply is ye, and a reference to lands of tbe same character in the British Possessions shows that for 67 consecutive years tbe same land has produced wheat the quantity and quality I have given above, and is to-day as rich as when nrst broken.

One's first impulse would be to imme diately invest In wheat raising in this valley, bet maturer thought will lead to tbe opinion that in a few years this entire region villi be under wheat cultivation, snd the markets of the country will be overstocked. This appears to be highly proo-able, and tbe result will be, of course, a contraction in production. But this contraction certainly will riot take place in the Red River Valley. It must oe done the less productive lands cf other States. Wheat must be raised, and there probably no country in the world where cultivation is more profitable than in tbe Valley of the Red River of the North.

Lands are now Belling for $2 50 to tlO per acre, according to location, and there appears every reason for there being a rapid advance on these prices. The amount of money necessary for the purchase, good and operation iff well managed farm would be about 20 per acre. By a system of credit at heavy interest oa a long term of years, a much less amount of actual cash would be re quired, but tbe expediency of this method of course open to discussion. 1 give in rough figures a statement ot an average year's business as at present done in this region, and these figures can be substantiated in more minute form.

RICHARDS, THE 19CROEBED. When it became known at tbe C. R. I. P.

depot last evening that 8. D. Richards the notorious Nebraska murderer, was on the train, there was a general desire to see tbe criminal. He was found in tbe coach next to the dining car, lying down, and ironed hand and toot. He was in chaige of S.

L. Martin, sheriff of Kearney county, and D. Anderson sheriff of Buffalo county, Nebraska, who Watched him with unceasing vigilance. The murderer is not a ill-favored wretch; be is dark-haired, blue-eyed, about 24 years of age, heavily built, and Is about six-feet tall. He was remarkably calm and self-possessed, and spoke of his expected hanging with the utmost un concern.

He talked to the people who crowded about him as freely as though one of them, and alluded to his crimes without a shadow of outward regret. He has confessed to tbe murder of a man he was in camp with, to killing Mis. Hirleson aud three children in Kearney county, Nebraska, and to shooting Peter Anderson, in Kearney county, last month; six murders In less than that many months. There is intense excitement in tbe vicinity where the crimes were com mitted, and tbe disposition is so apparent to lynch Richards that tbe sheriffs will not take him there at present, so they said last evening. Richards tells this story of bis wanderings: I left home three years back, and wandered West tbrot.

Iowa to Nebraska, and even further, but centered around tbe latter State a good deal of late. Whrt I've done there, you know. After killins the Harelsnn family, I stayed right around In tne house and neighborhood, till I killed Anderson, and then I went east about forty miles to Hastings; a week ago last Friday I pissed through Chicago and went to my heme in Jefferson county, Ohio, where I was arrested. Soae old companions of mine gave me away, and while I whs walking outside the town with two lady friends I saw the officers approaching me. I knew what was up, and telling tbe girls they had better leave me and return to town, as I was going to le arrested, I made up my mind what to do But the girls wouldn't go, and so wben tbe posse came up I surrendered.

They had to shackles or irons of any kind, but tied me with a rope." "Didn't you feel like flebtmp "Yes, 1 did; and if tne girls bad leftme when I told tnem to, 1 would have given the efflcera tome fun; I have no doubt I would have got away, and even after I was arrested I could have been rescued, there were enough of tbe boys around to have done tbat if I only said, "Come." If I'd had my shooting irons Hong I'd never have been taken. I left them off before I went home, as their presence would have made my people think I'd been doing something dreadful." "Richards, wnat's goiag to be the end of this?" "On, I shall swing. I never thought to get so far as this, but expected to have been lynched as soon as taken, but the officers tell me I shall a fair trial; I never expected it. I shall die as I have lived, easy; I don't tear anything, not even death." A DECEIVED WOTIAV A lone woman living on West Third street was Industriously looting for a officer this forenoon to arrest a man living at Dixon. This man, she said, had been entirely too free and intimate with her, and that too without any marriage formalities.

Lately she had learned that he had sold out what property he owned, realizing for the same $700 in money. The female declared her intention of either forcing the deceiving man to marry her or to compel him to give her the money. She was too modest she should have demanded both msn and cash.
