tub crops.
Be ports from every section Indicate
a decided improvement in crops of all
kinds. The raius in the earlier part
of the came just when needed;
these rams however were not general
and some localities drouth prevails,
the most serious being in portions of
the central section, Canadian, Klng-
'Isher, Cleveland atd southern por
tlon of Oklahoma county. Wheat
harvest began on the 1st and 2ud, and
is now in fuil blast, that harvested
thus far is well tilled and excellent
the reports concur with i hose of last
week In the fact. that the entire yield
will be up to or if not exceeding for-
mer years.
Oats have generally headed out v*>ry
short, and although in better shape
than last wee*, yet the general trend
of reports aie indicative of a very
small yield.
Corn is in ex-ellent condition and
growing rapidly and with seasonable
rains there will be an abundant har-
vest. The crop is almost all laid by
and some fields in the southern sec-
tion are ta-sellng. A good rain
would nor, come amiss.
Cotton has giown very well and is
in floe condition: it received a slight
set back by the cool days and nights
of Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
but the succeeding warmth leaves it
at this time iu 'ameliorated condition.
Potatoes are in a better condition
than thev were last week and with
favorable weather will yield well.
Grass is good and growing, but gen-
erally In need of rain. Considerable
wild grass has been cut in the strip
counties much uf which ha- been
shipped to Kansas.
The heaviest'rains within ilie we-k
are reported from Beaver county
(northwest) over three inches having
tailen: the ground in consequence is
thoroughly soaked and as a result
crops in that section, wheat, oats,
kaiir corn, barlev, cane and grass are
growing luxuriantly. Dew and black-
berries a-j on the market.
A good general rain would greatly
improve and accelerate all growing
vegetation,

st. iIoskI'h, Mo., June 3. As a direct
result of the high water In the Mis-
souri river, which will not begin to re-
cede for some time, the once prosper-
ous village of Winthrop, 30 miles south
of St. Joseph on the Hock Island. Han-
nibal & St. Joseph, Missouri Pacific
and Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council
Bluffs railroads, will soon be wiped off
the face of the earth.
The Missouri river, when it first be-
gan its spring rise this year, began
cutting the bank at the edge of the
town and adjacent to it and to-day
half of the place lias melted into the
river: together with half a dozen farms
of HiO acres each. The channel of the'
river was a Imlf mile west of Winthrop
last year but to-day that channel is a
sand bar and the new channel occupies
what was once the main .street of the
village.
Assisted by the citizens, the railroad
companies have been spending thou-
sands of dollars in un effort to stop the
cutting of the river, but the efforts
nave been in vain and the work has
been given up. The water is now with-
in a few rods of the tracks of the four
companies which parallel each other at
that point and is rapidly eating its way
into the railroad right of way and all
four companies are preparing to
abandon their roadbeds and enter At-
chison from a point further north. In
such an event the 8100,000 railroad
bridge connecting Winthrop and Atchi-
son will have to be abandoned.
Winthrop, which was a town of 1,500
people, has already lost half its popu-
lation and. as the houses cannot be
■old.they are being torn down and car-
ried into the conntry. The work of de-
molishing the Methodist church, a
structure which cost $10 dim) a year
ago. is now going on. it having
been sold to a farmer for
s ,0. who will use its material to make
a barn. The river is now within a few-
feet of it and unless he can finish by
to-morrow -it will be earrie.l away.
I-urmers who owned farms valued at
ss.ooo and #10.000 two months ago are
without an acre of ground to-dav.

Dknvkb, Col., June 3.—The ruin
ceased in all purts of the state yester-
day and the floods in the streams are
now subuitii/itf almost as rapidly as
they rose. The first estimates of S.r>.-
000.d00 damage in the state have not
been - xa^erated. No additions have
heen made to the death list of six re-
ported yesterday, but many isolated
mining camps have not been heard
from and there may have been hisses
of life in these. Thousands of people

uge done to the railroads.
