Dead Wrong. It now transpires that a large num ber of the stockholders of tbe city Ituilding lxan association are in arrears several or them as much as nearly two hundred dollars. There is an active demand for money.

yet, in the nrst series lor a great many weeks the receipts have not even been equal to tbe regular dues. The amount now due the association must amount to several hundred dollars. All stockholders should be required to pay their dues, tines and interest alike. It is not just or fair for some to pay and others to do as they please about it. The Free I'kess and its owners are the heaviest stockholders in this con cern.

iney nave never yet missed a payment, although at times they have been obliged to go out and borrow the money. If these arrearages were the result of extraordinary depression in business there would be some excuse for them, but they have been dragging along tor months, growing larger and larger. The stockholders who do pay promptly have a right to protest against any looseness in the management of this society and we have heard a great deal of complaint lately about it.

Velvets, Begin 8, mh anc Official Beport of the State Agricultural Board for the Month of July. The following is a correct synopsis of the report of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture for the month ending July 30, showing the acreage, condition and product of the crops named Wheat winter and spring Area sown, acres, a decrease of 27 per cent, or 3SG.3G5 acres, as conpared with last year.

Area harvested, 774,526 acres, about 5G per cent, being abandoned on account of damage by drouth and chinch bugs. The estimated pro duct for the state is 7,480,375 bushels, which precludes the possibility of any surplus over and above the needs of the people. Corn This crop has dwindled from a condition from 100 to 1-50 per cent, at the date of our last month's report to less than 50 per cent of the annual pro duct for Ave years. The continued dry weather and the chinch bugs have combined to destroy what seemed a month ago to be the largestcropof corn Kansas ever produced. The southeast ern and northeastern corners of the state will furnish a good average yield, and the majority of the counties will produce some good corn, but the product for the state shows the lightest yield per acre since 1874, and will not be sufficient to meet the requirements of our people within the year.

The area seeded is 0,442,923 acres, and the estimated product is 75,540,506 bushels, which will transfer Kansas from the list of corn surplus states this year. Oats Area sown. 1,400,903 acres, is 21 per cent, larger than any foruier period. The estimated yield per acre is about 28 bushels, which places the product for the state at bushels, an increase over that for last year of 14 percent. Rye Area sown, 154,822 acres; prob able product, 2,105,050 bushels.

liariey Area sown, acres; probable product, bushels. Condition and general promise of the following, as compared with a live years average. i'otatoes (early condition, bu per cent. Broom corn Condition, 76 per cent. Flax Condition, 90 per cent.

Sorghum Condition, 82 per cent. Millet and Hungarian Condition, OS per cent. Tame grass Condition, 75 per cent. Prairie grass Condition, 75 per cent. Live stock General condition, 100.

V. ildin and Andrew A. Space, of Melvern, were united in wedlock, at the M. par.onage in thi city, August 10, One of the most hfcppy events that usually falls to the lot of mortal occurred on last Thursday evening. The Women's Relief Corp of I'ort So, l'J learned that Comrade would be 53 years old on that day.

So they gave out secret requests to many comrades and friends to meet at Tost hall and from there go out to Jir. JIc-Millen's residence. Accordingly, late in the afternoon, the company assembled and moved out in full force, stormed the fortress and suc ceeded in capturing the entire family. Comrade Mc. gracefully surrendered and allowed himself to be tortured for four long hours eating ice 2 cream, cake and watermelon washin down with lemonade.

The order was perfe for one would dare to talk louder than at the top of their voice or make any nndue demonstra tion, because the sheriff was there to see that no unlawful things were done. And yet, I wonder what be could have done when he is beneath bunk of sake, a dish of ice cream and a half dozen slices of a mammoth watermelon. lie was in just that condition that he might have cried out, "Co in boys, I'll see you through The mayor was there, but be was also fixed, and so was John Howe, and Joe Buchanan. Joe at tempted to sing "Marching Through Georgia but choked down when he got to the sweet po taioe ana turner gobbler, and. worst or all.

no body was able to help him oat not even the chaplain. Everyone was happy and cheerful nd extended their greetings to Comrade Mc Milieu, hoping he and his excellent wife might be permitted to ecjoy the golden rays of a peace ful and happy sunset and enter the rest above, It is indeed a pleasure to record such a happy gathering when times are so discouraging. It bespeak cheerful spirit and it is one of the things that will help to modify and tone up society and make us feel we are brethren. There is so much stiffness and form that one almost feels it to be like going to a place of execution to go out into some society. People ought to be familiar and intimate and understand each other.

Hut It can't be done on the rigid line of formality and maudlin sentimer.talism. This free, social mingling in society, everyone main taining that perfect manhood or womanhood, and yet being courteous, kind and true, is a real step forward in breaking some of the cold, rigid forms of society.

That planted later will not be worth cutting. Large qnantiUes of hay will be put np and a great part of the corn will be put into the shock.

This will give quite a plenty of feed for stock, but corn or grain will not figure largely in the feed for cattle. X. Y. Z. Loit Hit 8ngaiBary Disposition-, From the Marlon Record.

We received a pleasaut call yesterday from Gen'l Ellett, a former resident of this city, hut now of Eldorado, (ienl Ellett says that a good half crop of corn will be the jield in Butler county this year. THE DEEADEUL DEOUTH. The drouth throughout the corn producing portion of the country con tinues, and the reports of the crops are of tbe most gloomy character.

The associated press dispatches sent out from Chicago, on the 10th a most melancholy condition of things few extracts will give a better idea of the misfortune that is upon the country Telegraph wires crossing and rectossing the vast area of country that has been parching and blackening for lack of rain brought news of only despair this morulug. Messages received from all the different sections showed an out- ook even worse than twenty-four hours be fore. Then there was word of a slight sprinkle at l)es Moines and faint hopes were entertain ed for a few drops In places elsewhere; but to day's telegrams contain the Information that not a particle of Ihe longed-for rain has des cended in all the immense stretch of territory, Added to this, the temperature throughout the drouth region Is rising and the expectation of slight showers anywhere Is gradually being re duced to the minimum. Already the pasturage In Kane county, tbe great milk section, is dead above the ground, and unless ther. Is rain wlthiu two weeks Hie roots will be dried and reseedlng will be neces sary Around nothing green is lei I ex cept the leaves of the trees and they are falling Mr.

Pembertoii, of the St. Charles creamery, the largest in the county, said that he had dropped from his ordinary dally receipts of 5.f0 to CO.ujO pounds of milk. Again The outlook for the agriculturists of Illinois, Indians. Iowa and the southern portions of Michigan and Wisconsin Is regarded as gloomy in tbe extreme. Those naturally splendid and fertile territories, undoubtedly including tome of the finest and largest granaries and food tore of tbe North Ameritan continent, have for fourteen months been subject to a visita- Uon of drouth to which a parallel can not be found within the range of the oldest living in habitant's recollection.

During the past few weeks this state of things has been intensified In the districts mentioned, and much Injury to growing crops has resulted. So arid a waste is there around Chicago that for many miles in some directions not a spear of grass Is visible. and in others the existence of green vegetation In many places the fields are absolutely and hopelessly burned out. The public parks are devastated with dryness and grass lands have probably suffered most. The destruction Is not uniform, though where crops were planted late In the season the owners will probably not realixe the cost of planting, And again: Of necessary food for live stock there will be an appalling dearth and thus tbe prices of milk.

meat, butter, cheese and other farm products may be expected to rise to an altogether un precedented height. The rainfall in the broad ion extending from Michigan to the south west, never so high as on either side of that region, has been abnormally low. The effects for a year to come will he felt In all quartets of trade and business as well as in the agri cultural districts. Tho railroads will feel it. Already the Burlington and Rock Island roads have given up the com In the territory of their great sytems.

The grain will not be there to ship, neither will tbe fattened stock be there to haul to central markets. Already farmers are disposing of herds of half fattened swine, and even horses and cows are being dispoed of for 25 per cent, of their ordinary value. The producers thus cut off from their Income will buy very sparingly of the country merchants. The merchants in turn will order light from the Chicago wholesaler, and this in turn will affect the banker and manufacturer. The burden must be bome by the whole people In country and city.

The following paragraph id taken from our old home paper, the Boone-ville (Ind.) Enquirer Owing to the continuance of the drouth, the corn crop in this and adjoining counties will not yield more than half a crop, many farmer hav-log already cut their corn for the purpose of making feed. The heat ha been so Intense and prolonged that the blades are literally scorched 1 he oat and hay crops averaged favorably with tbe past year. These are fair samples of the reports that come from the portions of the country that supply the people with bread and meat. Kansas is compara tively well off and yet, badly enough off.
