Corn planting is progressing splen-

the food and freeze has been plowed
up and replanted. The late planting,
or that planted Immediately after the
rain, is coming up. Wheatstill looks
promising, and many predict crop
that is crop for this country, but
there is quite time enough for a COM
plete failure yet. Oats are not grow
ing SO well as during the wet wealth
er. Clover makes a better showing
than is common at this season of the
year. There are enough clover fields
in this section to furnish an album
dance of hay, if it can be properly
taken care of at the proper time.
There is something over an aver
age apple bloom, but large percen-
tage of them are destined to fall off.
But our fruit growers are quite indif-
ferent as to whether there will be an
abundant yield or not, since the mar
ket price does not justify the manu-
featuring of spirits, and round fruit
has almost become valueless. | I'M
derstand some of our neighbors have
sold a lot of brandy, delivered in
Nashville, at $l.2O per gallon. After
buying fruit at ten cents per bushel,
allowing three bushels to the gallon

cents per gallon, any tyro in figures

his Child.

DAYTON, ONO. Aug. 1.-The village Of
excitement again to-day over the arrest of a
German named Chris. Holweger, charged
with the murder of his thirteen-year-ol1
daughter Mamie. A number of persons had
previously been arrested on the charge of
~assaulting and Wandering the little girl.
Holweger had been jealous in collecting evil
dencc in each case, and was anxious that
somebody should be lynched The detec-
tives say they nave evidence 10 show that
Holweger sent Mamie a mile To town at ) P.
VI. on July - for groceries, and her return
being delayed, he became impatient, started
To town about dusk, met her, and in his pas
sion picked up "a club, struck her on the
temple, and crushed her nose by II second
blow. Appalled, at the result of his passion,
while his child lay at his feet. Holweger
tore and cut her clothes open 10 give her the
appearance Of having been assaulted, and
dragged the body some distance from where
the murder was committed la "a point on the
pike, where two young farmers found il a
few minutes later. The detectives say that
after the body was removed 10 a house, no
evidences were found to show that the girl
had been outraged, but that Holweger as
serted that that crime was the motive of the
murder.
Detective Kuntz induced Holweger to 90
into town this morning, and then arrested
him. He was indignant and noisy at first,
and protested his innocence. Ii is said the
evidence against him is conclusive.

Scenes Of DesoIation Where the
Fires Have Ragged.

ocosro, Wis, August l6.-The scene from
the Northwestern train between Fort How
ard and Oconto il a desolnse one. A week
ago the land WAS thickiy wooded. Now
there is not a living tree left standing. Last
Monday the flames swept down through this
country, consuming the brush and dead
trees and killing the live ones. which were
too green to burn. Hundreds of acres are
laid waste, the trees lying PROSTATE ON a bed
Of ashes. Every puff Of wind fans up a
fame ron these smouldering trunks, which
viii burn for months unless a heavy rain
e~xtinguishes the fire in them.
North Of Velp, and extending northwest
for a dozen miles. the woods in the Suamico
country are all ablaze, and, dried up by the
first fires, are now burning ike finder. A
burning brand is caught up by the wind and
hurled into a hitherto untouched wood. II
lies smoldering for a few minutes, then q
flame steals up a small dead sapling. It,
leaves catch fire and shoot up through the
air into the surrounding branches. With q
erackle and a roar the flames shoot up in a
broad belt, seizing on everything and creating
a draft like that of q blast furnace.
Between Velp and Little Suamico the
smoke was binding and the heat blistered
the paint ON the cars. Farm houses and
crops have been consumed in every direc-
ton. Three families near st. Nathan's lost all
and have moved their families to the clear
ings. Everywhere around the country the
fences are all gone. The damage in Brown
county alone aggregates nearly Sa1,0oo. and
it will cost the relief committee in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 to help the sufferers, who
have lost not only their homes, but also
their means of subsistence for the coming
wear.
