Loose bits of 19th century news items mix turmoil and plans
A collage of reports covers cattle numbers toward market in the west, a gubernatorial bid by Wane Hampros, and a liquor license reform group led by Rufus S. Frost. Farmers in Pike County burn extra wheat to thwart armyworms, a batley field is destroyed near Circleville, and Chicago awards damages over a Pennsylvania train ticket. The Kentucky wheat crop is pegged at 15 million bushels as corn improves, a massive West Shore construction project advances along the Hudson, and rail expansion plans include a 25 hour New York to Chicago service. The whisky tax debate draws National Distillers leader to Congress, arguing tax rates don’t shrink consumption but raise illicit activity.
