ABUNDANT Crops IN THE WEsT.-The Chicago
Times of Monday last publishes crop reports
from various points throughout the States Of
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri,
Minnesota and Kansas, from which it appears
that on average the acreage of wheat sown
is much in excess Of that of last year, and that
the yield promises to be quite up to the aver
age; and in corn, oats and barley, fully up to
the average. The average amount of land has
been seeded, and the crops will be large
Fruits of all descriptions never looked better

The WASHINGTON MoNUMENT.-TheA American
nation has not been more negligent of any pub.
lie duty than it has of perpetuating the memo
ry of George Washington by the erection of tho
monument now partially completed in the ma
TONS capital. Only ten days after the death
OF Washington Congress ordered that "a mar
Die monument be erected to the memory of the
father OF his country by the United States, at
the city of Washington, and that the family of
Gen. Washington be requested to permit his
body to be buried under it," This permission
was promptly asked and accorded by his widow.
In 1901 bill appropriating 100000 for this
purpose passed the House, but was lost in the
Senate.
In 1883 the Washington Monumental Associ-
alton was formed with Chief Justice Marshal
as chairman. 1t appealed to all the people for
voluntary contributions and allowed no one to
give more than one dollar. In three years $685.
600 were collected. Nothing further was done
till 1s45 when renewed effort increased the
fund to $4,000. In 1S4S, July 4th, the corner
stone was laid. For about six years the work
was prosecuted and the column raised about
l7O feet Since then the enterprise has slept
for want of funds. At the beginning of the
present session Of Congress committee of
thirteen was appointed to consider the matter
This committee has reported that it will take
1910, 900 to complete the monument and that
Congress should provide by appropriation for
the funds, believing that the people will sus-
tain them in this action. 1t is burning dis

New SECRETARY.-On Monday of this week
Secretary Richardson resigned his portfolio
| and President Grant sent to the Senate the
name of Benjamin II. Bristow, of Louisville,
Kentucky, as his successor. Mr.. Bristow is q
gentleman of worry considerable legal ability
and has acquired an enviable reputation as q
| lawyer. He settled at Louisville after the war
and commenced the practice of his profession.
Shortly afterwards he was appointed District
Attorney for that District, and discharged the
duties of the Office with singular ability. On
the creation of the Office of Solicitor General in
the Department of Justice he was appointed to
fill the place. He gave complete satisfaction
in this new position, which, however, he re-
| signed to accept position in the employ of
the Southern Pacific railway.
Though he has not had the advantage of
much experience in financial matters, it is the
current opinion that he will be equal to the
emergencies of his new situation. If he sue
coed in tiding the financial Department of the
government safely through the pending crisis
| he will have made for himself fame that will
lose no lustre by comparison with his prede-

WOMAN INSTANTLY STRUCK DUMB-The
Leavensworth (Kan.) Times of the 22d ulto., re-
lates the following: IA remarkable occurrence
took place in Salt Creek Valley day before yester-
day. Mrs. Chapman, wife OF Samuel Chapman,
of Pleasant Ridge, went into the pasture adjoin-
ing the house for the purpose of catching horse
which she desired to drive TO town with. In less
than half an hour she was seen making her way
back to the house waving her arms above her
head, and making all sorts of ludcrous gestures.
Her husband, who was standing on the porch,
thought it was remarkably strange that bis wife,
ordinarily so staid and dign6ed, should be act
ing so strangely, but took no further notice Of
her, supposing she was making fun OF him. But
when she finally reached the house very serious
matter was developed, and all the strange actions
countable means been struck speechless, and has
not, up to last accounts, been able 10 speak a
word 10 make know a the cause of her misfortune
1t is the general opinion that the spell was either
brought on sy fit or some terrible fright which
the woman received while in the pasture, AID the
nature of which her friends have as yet been I'M

w. There is flavor OF novelty and simple
honesty about the business proceedings of the
Dunkers, or Dunkards, now in conference at Gil
rard, ILL.,, that is as attractive as it is rare in
these days, when so many Of the churches seem
to have yielded without even the show of oppo-
sition to the influx of worldly habits Of living,
dressing, and doing business. Here is a large
body of earnest men, who hold to their old-tme
traditions with the tenacity Of devil-fsh to its
victim, and gravely declare in the very face OF
the encroachments of modern customs that while
it has ever been the rule of the Church TO wear a
full beard, ii is not permitted TO wear moustach-
es only, and that members may not engagein the
banking business, as it would lead to covetous-
ness, litigation, and usury, all of which are for
hidden by the sect. 1t is worth something to the
world TO have just such body of men in exist
eHce and to have them hold on to their ancient
customs and beliefs just after this style. These
people are real conservatives, and while they dc
not force their views on others or make active
raids for the propagation of their peculiar beliefs
they nevertheless do, by the unquestoned cores
pondence between their doctrine and their prse
tice, render service to society that benefits the
whole body - Gin Times.

We constantly witness 10 our thrir-

noticelthat ali along the Calcasieu

have been opened in which many

reader may well imagine, plenty
of the yivifyipg rye but il is also
evident that, through want OF en-

been built along the river, in loea-

We respectfully call the attention
