Reports from Many Sections State That It Is Badly Damaged. Kansas City, March 20. Reports from Topeka, Lincoln, Salina, Hutchinson, Abilene, Junction City, Douglass, Cheney and a number of points in Nebraska, state that the soft wheat is badly damaged. A good many grain men are inclined to believe that the prospect is rather discouraging. A division superintendent of the Missouri Pacific ip Southern Kansas is said to have reported that the crop is almost an utter failure between Carney and Conway Springs.

A buyer at Douglass, writes! "The country around Douglass cannot possibly raise enough wheat for the local mill and I have heard as high as 90 per cent, estimated killed south of us. The ground is very dry. The snow and rain we had a week ago is helping what wheat is not dead, but the general propect is the worst I have seen in seventeen years, O. T. Nest, of Cheney, writes to the same people: "I drove sixty miles yesterday, examining wheat fields.

I found them much worse than I expected. Not over half the growing wheat will be left. Most oi the fields plowed up will be put in corn. That which will be left has not over half a full stand. I have 10C acres and 1 will plow up sixty acres.

Tho rest is not worth much." KANSAS CATTLE ALL RIGHT State Headquarters Have Keen Removed to the State House. Toi'RKA, April 3. In accordance with the provisions of a bill passed by the late legislature the headquarters of the Kansas G. A. E.
