THE CROP PROSPECT.

1t is "a ioregone conclusion that a
large crop Of tobacco win be harvest
cd this year if hail and frost do not
hereafter prevent. Take it all in all,
the growing season to date has been
exceptionally favorable in all the
producing States. The spring was a
little late, some fields are behind for
the want of an early start, drouth
was experienced in some sections in
July, and hail and wind have effect
ed their customary summer ravages,
yet despite these impediments to de-
velopment, the crop, as a whole, is a
full and good one. Warmth when
warmth was not most needed came
to the plants, as did the rain, and
both were maintained until an excel
lent stand was secured. The dewy
nights and mornings now prevailing
and TO prevail almost continually I'M
til harvest time prelude apprehension
of injury from future dry weather.
Hail and frost mainly are TO be
dreaded. The first mentioned may
come with any prevasive shower and
strew destruction in its path; the
second may be delayed this fall to
restore the equilibrium disturbed by
the backward spring, such a sensi-
BILE freak of good nature not being
an uncommon thing with mother
Nature when in her better moods.
Since the above lines were written
we have seen an Evansville letter of
recent date which says the growing
crop in parts of Indiana and the
Green River sections is suffering for
want of rain, and that "buttoning'
is observable in some fields.-N. Y.

Advertising.
Evansville journal.

A merchant of Fort Wayne writes
a letter on advertising, in which he
tells some plain truths that we are
glad to lay before our merchants for
their consideration. He says while
trade is dull in other places the towns
and cities which have papers well
filled with advertisements are doing
good business because they draw
the trade away from towns where
the merchants do not advertise. These
advertising towns have excellent
papers, because the publishers can
afford TO spend money in making
their publications attractive and ell
pertaining to their readers. This in
sures large circulation, which is
what the advertiser wants. Fort
Wayne has a few liberal advertisers,
and their trade shows they are amply
repaid for the money spent in this
way. But what is needed is general
advertising by everybody in trade.
No matter what the line of business,
advertise it. Help to build up your
town and you willincrease you trade.
The more people we can bring here
from outside the more money will be
left in town. Advertise in the papers,
daily and weekly. Then you will
strike all the people at home, and
people abroad. Do not wait for your
neighbor to do the advertising, hoping
to catch some of the customers
brought to town by the attractions
he offers, but put your own shoulder
to the wheel and advertise what you
have to sell. Remember that the
most successful men are those who
use printers ink freely, and they use
1t In newspaper advertising. Adver-
tise constantly.

Excursion to Mammoth Cave.

If ten or more persons are DESTROYS
of visiting this wonderful cave an ex-
cursion will be run Sep. 18th, leaving
here at 6 ;45 A. NJ and returning the
next day at s 80 p. M. The cost of
the round trip including railroad and
hotel fare and guide IN the cave for
this length of time will be for party
of ten, $ll so, and If a larger number
goes the rate will be reduced. This
amount includes only the long route
in the cave, and if there are those in
the party who want to take in the
short route they can do so at small
additional cost. This is an excellent
chance for those who have never visi-
ted the cave to do so at reasonable
cost, and those who are DESTROYS OF
going will either send in their names
or call at the SOUTH KENTUCKIAN
Office and give them in. A good
band is in attendance at the cave ant
the table was never better. There IL
no rush as there was three years age
when the encampment was held a
the cave, and all can be comfortably
accommodated. Now is your time t
go.

The waist sits perfect ly to the body like riding habit It some times closes straight down the front, with small round buttoGs placed very near to- eetne11, or it may open over the vest of white "pique" or a plaited ohemisette.

A Shocking Instance of the Deprayity

 That Prevails.
 BOSTON, Sept. Gone of the first orders issued by the new board of police commits sioners upon coming into office was to the ef- feet that the proprieto1s of all houses of ill fame and night walkers were to be arrested and put through. Within the three past weeks, besides many others twenty-three houses of the worst class have been visited and the proprietors either arrested or com pelled to go out of the business. A large number of inmates have been taken care of in one way or another and horde of night walkers either arrested or driven out of the city. Within the same time there have been forty-sixcases of houses of i'll fame, night walkers and gamblers in court. The stories told by some of the desreputable characters who have been corralled rival the disclosures of Editor Stead's re- porters. One woman said that a certain Bostonian was in her house when the subject of the exposures of the Pa1 Mall Ga zette was brought up. The man said that he did not think twenty pounds was an ex- orbitant sum to pay for 8 child's virtue and offered to give $125 for an innocent if she could be procured. The madame said that she could find such, and the man paid the money. The woman immediately visited Q neighboring skating rink and returned with girl thirteen years of age. To her she paid $20 and she was turned over to the man who accomplished her ruin. She was then sent home. The woman said witnesses saw the money paid and the bargain made.

 MADRID, Sept 6.-Friday night official despatches reached the government from the Philippines, stating that a German gunboat landed troops on the night of the 24th of August at Yap Island and hoisted the Ger man flag there. The Spanish vessels San Quentin and Manila were at Yap Bay at the time. The captains of the Spanish vessels and the Spanish governor-since dismissed by telegraph with energy against the occupation. The Spanish gunboats cleared decks for action and the Manila was about to open fire upon the German gunboat, when she was signalled to desist, which she did most reluctantly. A third Spanish yes sel, the Velasco, has arrived at Yap Bay. This news caused the widest excitement throughout Spain. Crowds gathered in the streets of Madrid all night long, frantically gesticulating and calling the Emperor Will liam, the Crown Prince and Bismarck the vilest names. Several thousand people shouting "Death to Bismarck!' "Viva Els panal'' mobbed the German embassy, smashing the windows, breaking into thousand pieces the German arms on the embassy building and trampling the frag- ments under their feet The embassy was completely wrecked. The furniture and mirrors were dashed to pieces, the people al most foaming at their mouths with frenzy. Several of the soberest Spaniards with whom I have talked feel confident that the affair must now end either by war or revolution.
 The council has framed and dispatched to the German government an ultimatum, which King Alfonso sanctioned, requesting Germany to evacuate the Caroline Islands, Spain in the meantime to refrain from material occupation, thus affording basis of further parleying between the two govern ments. The total number of arrests for participating in the anti German riots is 1s4
 BERLIN, Sept. 6.-The North German Ga zette says that while Germany is naturally annoyed at the recent demonstrations in Madrid she will not judge harshly. Inquiry will probably show that the riots were due to other influences than Spanish indignation. This is generally regarded thinly yelled Spain does not at once recompense Germany for the insult and punish the culprits Ger many will occupy the Carolines forthwith.
 VALENCIA, Sept. 6.-The German consul ate in this city was yesterday the scene of a riot similar to that in Madrid. The German flag was hauled down and the attaches of the consulate insulted and roughly handled. Sev- eral of the rioters were arrested.
