The Chicago Record says the corn crop of Illinois and neighbor ing States promises 1o be so large this year as to make the problem of handlinf* it. Q rtifTimilt Ano fnr I the railroads. The increase over ! last year, which was a year of good crops in the corn belt, is ^ especially notable in Kansas and ^ Nebraska. The railroads' estimate of the size of the corn crop this year is 300,000,000 bushels for each of these States, a crop that will seriously tax the carry- ' ing capacity of all the transportation lines entering that territory. Other estimates place the size of the Kansas crop this year at 345,000,000 and the Nebraska crop at 300,000,000 bushels. Both estimates show a large increase over last year, and when the figures were 133,000,000 bushels for Kansas and 159,000,000 bushels for Nebraska. For Iowa there is a decreased estimate, which may or may not be accurate. It is said that the crop there will be 219,000,000 bushels this year, as against 255,000,000 bushels last year Missouri, however, had only 155,000,000 bushels last year, while its crop for this year is esti mated at 179,000,000 bushels. The estimated figures for Illinois this year are 219,000,000 bushels, as against 200,000,000 bushels last year. Ohio and Indiana show a small falling olf from last year, the figures being : Ohio, crop for 1898, 103,000,000 bushels; esti mated crop for 1899, 90,000,000 bushels. Indiana, crop for 1898, 129,000,000 bushels; estimated crop for 1899, 120,000,000 bush olo TUn ~-i- - t did. and ninunuriilllM WHO IlHVe compiled these (lata, and who are reckoned authorities in such mat. ters, set down the corn crop of this year at 2,250,000,000 bushels. The actual yield of corn last year was 1,924,184,060 bushels. The increase for 1899, therefore, will be about 325,000,000 bushels, and should the market hold to anything like reasonable fig ures the farmers of the Middle Western States should grow fat and prosperous during the next six month's.?News and Courier.

After (fie developments of yesterday, the state board of control had very quiet session today. The morning was devoted to listing sf bids and purchasing 01 supplies, rhe board had not completed this work up to the hour of recess. But during the morning about 1,500 barrels of whiskey had been sought. The suoeeseftU- firms were those whose products have seen generally sold in dispentaries. Several new bidders made sffbrs to sell, but none gave bet;er terms than those from which he board has usually bought. Tomorrow the Newberry dispensary muddle will come up, estimony will be taken and the soard will probably take some iction which will purify the bus ness in that town. It has been freelv p,hnrfp>tl flint ? p he place of dispenser in Newjerry and perhaps in other towns n the county were practically put up to the highest bidder. The bribe of the Newberry dispensarv ?hip is said to have been $150. An applicant who failed of election, it is said, will testify that he put up $20 to be elected, the money to be returned to him in :ase his election failed. It is al leged that he demanded his mon?y when he failed to get the job but it was not handed over to him. All these allegations will be fully investigated by the board, and if anybody is proven to he guilty he will suffer. Dispensary affairs in Newberry have piven the board before much trouble and it is hoped that this is an opportunity to settle the whole business. When this case is finished the board will adjourn.?
