CHICAGO, May 6.-The Farmers Re-

say: "Fhe drouth, which at the time
of our last report had become quite a
serious matter. has since then fortu-
nately been broken by nearly general

progress has been made with corn plant

In many places the oat crop since the
rain fell has commenced to come up
nicely. Indiana still makes bad report
on the condition of the winter wheat
crop, the first county to report improve
ment being Spencer. Dat seeding is
finished, but corn planting is not gener-

are very fair. Our reports seem to indi-

After his marriage he resided several
years in Columbia, and from there re-
moved with his family to the frontier,
about twelve miles from the city of
Erie, which then was only small
village. Here he led the life of the
true frontiersman, supplying many of
the owants of his family by means
OF the rifle, and with the aid of his
family OF growing boys cleared the land
OF standing timber and put the same
under cultivation. During the winter
months he busted himself in his shop,
working at his trades, making articles
OF furniture, whereby he added a little
TO his worldly store and provided many
OF the comforts of life for himself and
family.
In 1910, his wife having died, he re-
moved again, this time to the state of
Illinois, and took up land near Morris.
Before leaving Pennsylvania, however,
he cast a vote for the Democratic candi-
date for president. He lived in this
state, tilling the soil, until 1852, when
ne came to Prescott. Here he obtained
work as carpenter. Many of the first
buildings erected in the city were of his
construction. He also built the first
flight of stairs in the penitentiary at
Saltwater. In 1854 he brought his
family to Prescott. Here he worked
at his trade until his advanced
years and failing strength COM
PEELED him to give up the active
pursuits of life. In 1870 he was
married to Mrs. Eleanor Redmon, with
whom he lived until her death, which
occurred in 1874. He is now making his
home with his son-in-law, ID. S. Cheney,
OF this city, where his every want is
cared for. Although his hearing is
somewhat imDaired ha ctiII taILyo in on
interested manner of the early days of
Prescott, and the changes which have
taken place during the nine decades he
has been on earth. He takes great pride
IN telling OF the number of years he has
been church member. In 1878, when
an apprentice, he united with the Meth
odlStS, and from then until now, seventy
years, he has been a devout church
member and a conscientious Christian.
His family of twelve children is now re-
duced to six, several of his sons having
been in the army during the war, one
OF them. Preston, being in command of
the Sixth Wisconsin regiment at the
tlme he was killed, which occurred at
the taking of the Weldon railroad.
In regard to descendants, he is veri-
three-twelve children, twenty-nine
grand children and twenty-five great
grandchildren.
One of his grandchildren, Frank A.
Ross, is leading attorney and promi-
nent business man of West Superior.
Other Of his descendants are engaged in
various pursuits, and reside in the
Western states, scattered from Northern
Minnesota to Southern Texas. The ac-
companying picture represents him as
he looks to-day, and is good likeness.

BLAINE AND CARNEGIE.

The positive assertion that Mr..
BLAINE has accepted an invitation
from the CARNEGIEs to make with them
tour through Scotland about the time
the Republicans are holding their con-
Vention goes far to corrobOrate the
statement made by Editor STONE, of
Chi cago, in an interview with the
GLOBE, that Mr.. BLAINE, knowing of
the existence of a certain fatal letter,
had absolutely determined not to be
again candidate, that being the price
of the letters suppression, and would
accordingly keep himself in communica-
ton with the party, in order that he
might promptly decline nomination,
should it be rendered him.
Of course fair-minded people will
deprecate kind of campaigning which
is founded upon the existence
of damaging letters dealing with
candidates family relations, but
since, by personal enemies of
Mr.. BLAINE such tactics will be in
duiged in if necessary, it is we'll enough
to note the possible effects. Certainly,
Mr.. BLAINE'S acceptance of the CAR
NEGIE invitation, and thereby retaining
means of communication with this side
of the water, seems to be more than a
mere coincidence. 1t is almost cor
roboration of Editor STONES story. AL
tog ether, there seems to be good reason
for regarding Mr.. BLAINE as positively
and definitely out of the race.
The continued hope shown by so
many Republicans that he may yet be
their leader is an avowed confession of
weakness, in that it is an open intima-
ton that they have no confidence what
ever in any of their other leaders; and
that intimation, indeed, the general pub
lie is quite ready to accept as expressing
the facts of the case.

NO BEER AT HOBOKEN.
The Saloons of New Jersey Have a
Novel Experience.

Novel Experience.
New YORK, May 6.-The new liquor
law in New Jersey went into effect to-
day, and not saloon was open nor a
drop of liquor sold openly in the state,
from Hoboken to Camden. AT Taylor's
hotel, Jersey City, the cashier said it
was the first day in the history of
that venerable inn that no liquor
had been served to guests. AT
Doyle's famous old stone house a sign
was hung out: "Closed for the first
time in seventy years. Let her go, Gal
lagher" The pertinency of the legend
lay in the fact that Assemblyman Gala
CHER, of the Jersey City district, was
active in having the law passed.
Some of Gallagher's friends re-
monstrated with the proprietor, with
the result that the sign was
taken down and another substituted,
reading, "Closed by the law. Close up
the lawmakers" The saloonkeepers
of Hoboken, Fort Lee and Jersey City
were in despair. Usually thousands of
New Workers go across on the ferries
Sundays to enjoy the luxury of beer
and other beverages. To-day the pill
grims were few and the pilgrimage a
brief one, the well posted staying away.

The picture of Mr.. BLAINE published
in Judge is an ideal one. There is
the BLAINE contour, to be sure, but it is
padded picture, for all that. The art
list has skillfully brought out beaming
round face with the bloom of youth in
it, such as Mr.. BLAINE may have had in
the days when he taught school down
in Kentucky. There are no crows feet
under the eyes, and the thateh of gray
hair which crowns the head is smoothed
down with graceful lines by the skillful
artist so as to give it an oily, healthy

SHOULD BE WESTERN.

By common consent it is admitted
that there will be no contest whatever
in the selection of a presidential candi-
date at the convention of the Demo-
cratic party in st. Louis. The conven-
ton will be actuated by but one pur-
pose, to continue Mr.. CLEVELAND In
the presidential chair.
Still, the same certainty and unanlm-
ity will not obtain with regard to the
vice-presidency. The candidates for
that position are likely to be many, and
apt to be difficult. But of one thing
there can be no doubt, and that is that
the man selected should hail from the
West. The West can furnish as good
vlce-presidential timber, and presi-
Dental, too, for that matter, as any
Eastern state of them all. The position
belongs to the West by right, and it is
unlikely that the convention will take
any other view of the matter.
1t is gratifying, therefore, to note that
any one of the Western men whose
names have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the position would reflect
credit upon the great section which is
coming to have such marked voice in
the administration of national affairs.
This is particularly true of the leading
candidates, BLACK and GRAY. The
convention would not err in the selec-
ton of either of them, and either would
honor his country, his state and his
party in being himself honored.
But there are numerous other men in
the West fully as capable, and when
the convention comes to do its duty by
the selection of a Western man, it is in
no danger of becoming embarrassed by
a lack of material from which to choose.

the difficulties between Miss Sarah Boil
