A severe Drought.

The Oldest inhabitant does not re-
member when our State was visited
by so protracted drought as we are
now experiencing. In many places
the situation is alarming. Never fail
ing springs are drying up; pastures
are destroyed, and the farmers stock
are suffering for food and drink. In
this county it is also severe. The
fall and winter crops are almost total
ly destroyed. We have not had rain
enough in two months to lay the
dust, and the earth has become so
hard and dry that farmers cannot pre-
pare their ground for seeding wheat.
The outlook is depressing.

A Gun Bursts on the Standish.

The United States steamer Stan
dish is achieving reputation for
bursting great guns. Yesterday af.
ternoon, after the CAPITAL had gone
to press, the second one within year
was blown to pieces. The steamer
was in command of Lieutenant John
+. Meigs, who had the third division
of the first class of naval cadets
aboard, the division numbering about
Is. The cadets had fred five shells
at a target 700 yards distant in the
Chesapeake, when on the sixth shot
the gun burst with tremendous
crash. Numbers Of pieces Of the gun
flew completely over the ship. One
piece weighing over 500 pounds
bounded from one side of the ship to
other, making two holes in the deck
as it went against the starboard taf-
rail. Another piece weighing over
100 pounds was found lying on the
port quarter, and third piece of 500
pounds was found on the hurricane
deck. Hard by the boiler the deck
was broken where it lay. No one
was injured, all the pieces flying over
the heads Of the cadets and crew.
The gun is a muzzle-loading Parrot,

loader. 1t was run out from port
side of the quarter, and fortunately
the cadets were steadying it on the
right side, and had they been on the
other rope fearful loss of life would
have occurred. Much of the rigging
Of the Standish was carried away.

Touching the DOG Tax.

Judge Smell Of the city Of Washing
ton, has decided the much discussed
question as to when does puppy be-
come a dog The learned Judge has
long been a fancier Of dogs and knows
all that is worth knowing about the
canine race. This knowledge served
the Judge good turn when the
question came before him for q decis-
ion. An aged colored man was
charged by the city authorities with
the crime Of keeping dog without
paying license. The colored man
proved that his canine was six
months old puppy, and the court dis
charged the defendant on the ground
that puppy was not dog until be
was year old. Now, this would be
valuable information to the owners OF
puppies here, if our city authorities
had the pluck to enforce the dog or
dinance Of our city.

Brown, trustees, and the Annapolis

fled yesterdaysin the Circuit Court
of this county. The respondents pro-
test at the injustice of being called in
to court on account Of litigation al
ready settled by the Court of Appeals;
and go on to state that the complain
ant, the State of Maryland, by the
true construction of the act of 1896,
chapter 298, was simply stockholder
of the company, which was required
to pay to the state, by way Of divi-
dend, six per cent. per annum on it's
subscriptions, and that only when net
profits should be realized By the COM
pany; and such being the case, the
state has not. as claimed, preferred

except Hon. William A. Howard, whose menu
DRY is held in the most sincere regard and
highest esteem of any citizen of the terri
tory has ever had. He was great in ability,
wise by the best experience, and lofty in
character as he was firm in action. He went to
Dakota to end a life of usefulness, In forming
a great community upon the best basis, and TO
this he give the most disinterested service in
every relation. Ex-Gov. Edmunds remains q
!citlzed of iankton, a successful banker and
business man, and esteemed in all the councils
OF the people. He has served in several posi-
tons under the United States, and particularly

Archb.shop ruro.,,,. 1naeD..as....

Archbishop Elder has written o letter adj
dressed to the clergy and laity Of the arch
diocese of Cincinnati, giving his reasons for
not inangurating active measures for liquidat-
ing the enormous indebtedness Of the late
Archbishop Purcell. He says: 81 nave re-
peatedly consulted advisers in civil and
canon law and in moral theology. 1 have not
found one who, on q consideration Of the whole
case, would advise me that / had q right to de-
clare this q diocesan debt, binding in justice.
But while could not see grounds for declaring
It q debt which the diocese owed in justice, 1
did sec very good reasons why the Catholics Of
this diocese should manifest their charity and
their zeal for religion by contributing with
hberality toward paying as far to they could. -
The archbishop then says that he offered
to settle with the creditors on better
terms than they were likely to
secure by going to the supreme court, and
that he has proposed to the assignee that a
master be appointed to ascertain the indebt-
ness remaining upon property purchased in
part with money furnished by the archbishop.
Neither of these propositions have
been acted upon. He says that when all, has
been done toward meeting the Just claims
thatit is possible to do in this diocese, he pro-
poses to appeal to all the friends that can be
reached.

Minnesota Burglar Captured In Chicago.

ucated young gentleman, was tho particular
pet Of the upper tendon society Of winona,
MINI. Suddenly he robbed prominent physt-
clan Of Winona, Dr.. Stables, of a valuable horse
and buggy, and decaniped for parts unknown.
After several month"; he was finally caught in
Milwaukee and brought back to the scene of
his crime and sentenced to two years in
the Saltwater penitentiary. Not long after
his incarceration he formed the acquaint-
Ance Of Miss Lille Randall, the daughter Of a

with the young criminal, the young lady be-
sought her father to interfere in Ills behalf.
After a short interview with the convict. Mr.,
Randall finally succeeded in getting him re-
leased and took him in his employ. But Mann
could not stand prosperity, and some weeks
ago he returned the kindness Of his friend and
savior by robbing him of $3, 000. Sheriff Car

man in Mike McDonald's gambling house
playing q high game. After threats and some
opposition, Mann surrendered and will be taken

The situation ia DAKOTA.

The condition of the wheat crop in Dakota
has not changed since the last report. From
the latest reports it is learned that the damage
by the storms in the vicinity Of Tower City will
reach 10000 acres or a total of 100, zoo bushels.
This will not effect the general crop and is but
as a drop in the bucket. A special from St
Vincent says the farmers Of that section of the
Red River valley are now prepared to harvest
their hay, which is q very fine crop. Wheat
and oats are fine. Crops are far in advance of
anything that has been seen for years, but will
not be ready to cut for three weeks yet Reports
Of crops from Rolette and Cavileer counties in
Dakota are very tlattering. A light frost visited
that locality Monday night and the night before.
but as yet has done no material injury, though
u some cases its effects were quite visible, but
II was not SO severe as to injure wheat or
oats.
G: S. Barnes, president of the Northern
fscl1fc Elevator company, in an interview,
takes a rather conservative view of the situa-
ton, and while sanguine az to,tho average yield,
thinks that farmers should be prepared to ex-
pect low prices for their product. He draws
his differences from the fact that advices from
the wheat fields, not only of the Northwest, but
pective yield at an even higher aggregate
than the most %sanguine have imagined. If
any accident should happen to the fast ripen-
ing grain, an accident that would have more
Ihhn u local influence on the situation,
there might be reason to expect fair
prices; but AR. Barnes does not
look for aught else than a generous yield, and
consequently bases his opinion on what is al
ready in sight. In tho vicinity of Fargo, he
says the crop will be fair. but out toward Bis
marck, whore last year there was n great def.
cheney, this year there will be u big crop.
There is considerable trust in the wheat
along the Winona & 81. Peter road in Southern
Dakota, and smutis doing a great deal of dam
ago in the vicinity of Big Stone and Milbank.
With these exceptions, the crop is doing quite
well Corn is progressing rapidly, and will
soon be out of the way of drouth.

elections in Clarke county yesterday between
Ex-Speaker Keifer and his opponent, Capt
Bushnell, a wealthy manufacturer, resulted
in the defeat of Keifer by about GOO majority.
This ends the political career Of Keifer and
cuts off all chance of his obtaining another
term in congress, since by the rules
under which the primary was
held, the successful candidate is allowed to
choose his w delegates in the county, thus
having its support as q unit in the congression-
al convention which meets here next TUESDAY.
For weeks Keifer has strained every nerve to
amount Of money aud worked night and day.
He even started q newspaper to champion his
cause and ran it ten days, during which time it
was distributed gratis. ALI the newspapers in

mistakes in congress were used against him
with the most terrific and power by
the organs Of his opponents.

Really Loves Freddie.

There has been a good deal of gossip in New
York for the past few days concerning Mrs.
Langtry's motives in returning to England at
this time and her expectations for the future.
A gentleman, whose business relations with
the Jersey beauty from the time of her first ar
rival until she stepped on the gang plank of
the Arizona last Saturday morning were of the
closest nature, said:
have no doubt in the world that if Mrs,
Langtry were free to-day to make her choice
abe would marry Gebhardt in a moment She
ia desperately in love with him and has been
for q long time. / Think know enough of her.
100, to say that when it comes to a question Of
the heart, that Mrs. Langtry would sacrifice q
good deal to accomplish the fulfllment of
her desire. She is a womanly woman
after all, and it is because she has
felt that in the outcome the world would
find that she was acting only from the purest
motives in receiving Mrs. Gebhardt's atten-
tons that she has permitted them this long.
There were some business affairs remaining
unsettled between us up to tho tune of her
departure, which compelled me to go down to
the steamer Saturday morning. She was sur
rounded by parcel of reporters who were
insisting on taking up every moment she had,
and l was about to go away in despair when
she sent word to wait for her in her stateroom.
which l did. Geblardt was present. He
looked after her every want in the most ten
der and most matter of-fact manner. She
received his attentions in the same way.
Well, now, it did not take an old fellow like
myself long to see how the land lay. I can
tell you, Gebhardt is said to be q fool, but I
think the boys will find out that he is going to
have the prettiest bride in New York within Z
year.
