LESS THAN 200 BASKETS

win Be This Years Connecticut Peach
Crop. 4
Forty years ago the Connecticut peach
orchards were the finest in the world. The
fruit was as fair as that of California, and
great deal more delicious. So immense
was the yearly crop that the market was
surfeited and farmers turned their hogs
into the orchards. Then came "the vel.
lows" an inexplicable disease that killed
every tree in the state. After that few
peaches grew in Connecticut, until dozen
years ago fruit growers began to set out
new orchards and learned to deal with the
disease. They couldn't cure it, and at the
end of three years it invariably kills an
orchard; but they set out new trees each
year and in the second and third year. be.
fore the yellows attacked the orchards, the
growers had two big crops. Then they let
the trees perish. In this way the prestige
OF Connecticut peaches was revived. But
this year more ill fortune has befallen the
peach men. The trees didn't bear at all
and the crop is total failure. A big fruit
grower at New London said day or two
ago that the crop in Connecticut will be
less than 200 baskets. As there is no
southern crop the outlook is dismal
enough for preservers. In New York and
Yew Jersey the yield will be smaller than
in many years before, and the California
supply will not hold out beyond Sept. /.

RARE PHENOMENON.

ttate. The latter was fully as wide as the
upper part of the waterspout, and its deep
dove color, due to the rays Of the setting
sur, was in beautiful contrast to the blne
gray Of the whirling cloud itself. At about
6 o'clock the waterspout was especially ac-
tive. 1t dashed the water beneath into
foaming waves that spun round and round
with an outward rotary motion, though its
tail at one time touched them. The dis.

was from SIX to eight miles. Those on

THE CROP BULLETIN.
Frosts Injure Late sown Grain in Minne-
sofa and the Dakotas.


sofa and the Dakotas.
The weather crop bulletin saga: The
weather during the past week in Minne-
sofa and the Dakotas was too cool for the
late crops. Although wheat has been nearly
all cut, some fields lately sown, in the ex-
treme moth, have been injured by frost.
Light frosts also extended over the ex-
treme northern portions Of Iowa and
Michigan, but caused no material damage.
The recent rains have greatly improved the
condition of crops throughout the corn
belt, extending from Ohio westward to
Kansas and Nebraska, and in this section
the condition of corn and potatoes are
much improved, and the ground is
in good condition for blowing. Very
light showers occurred IN Texas, and
northward to Dakota. The rainfall for the
season continues in excess generally over
the lake region, the Ohio, and central Mis-
sissippi valleys; in the middle Atlantic
states and northern New England. Less
than 60 per cent. Of the normal rainfall
has occurred in Kansas, ana less than IS
per cent. is reported from northern Mis-
souri,, southwestern Iowa, southern Dakota
and on the east gulf coast. Southeast New
England has also had less than rs per cent.
of the normal rainfall. Reports from the
Pacific coast indicate that the weather dur
ing the past week has been unusually
favorable for securing crops. Wheat, oats
and barley are turning out extra we'll in
Oregon. Grapes are ripening with pros
poets of large yield. An abundant hop
crop of superior quality is reported from
California and Oregon.

ASKED FOR A VACATION.

Trusted Bookkeeper of Little Rock Is
Granted One and Proves to Be De-
faulter.
Until few weeks ago d. G. Jordan,
bookkeeper at the Bank of Little Rock,
was one of the most popular young men
in the city. He had a splendid position, q
pleasant home with charming wife, and
no shadow of suspicion had ever fallen on
his character. A few days ago Jordan
asked for short vacation and imme-
diately took his departure for the north.
He left his wife at home without bidding
her goodbye. Jordans perfdy came
out when it was discovered that he had
raised two small drafts of $3.50 each to
something over 5000 apiece. It appears
that he purchased the drafts before leav-
ing here, both of which were on New York
banks. When he reached st. Louis he
raised the amount of one Of his checks to
1926. drawing the money through bank
in that city. At Chicago he raised the
other check to 1915, and secured the
amount. Both checks came to tbs Bank
of Little Rock, where the forgery was dis.
covered and payment refused.
It then leaked out that the errinR book.
keeper had companion in his flight, a
young widow of Little Rock, who had left
Little Rock on the same train. This in
formation fell like thunderbolt on his
friends. arousing mingled, surprise and in
dignation. Further investigation this
morning reveals the fact that prior to his
departure he sold valuable bicycle, notes
to the amount Of $50 which he had given
in payment Of it still remaining unre-
ceipted. Jordan had born an excellent
reputation, and married into one of the
best families in the city. When last heard
of Jordan and his companion we're in Chi.
cago. It is not known whether or not anv
effort will be made to secure his arrest.

CHOLERA IN JAPAN.
Three Thousand Cases Reported, of Which
Over Half We're Fatal.

Three Thousand Cases Reported, of Which
Over Half Were Fatal.
The steamer Oceanic has arrived at San
francisco from the Orient, bearing jap
anese papers giving accounts of the spread
of Asiatic cholera in Japan. The plague
is increasing rapidly and has gained foot
hold in Yokohama as we'll as Toxic, aud
has attacked Europeans. Up to July 8
5000 cases had been reported, of which q
tritle over half were in Nagasaki. Sixty
per cent. of those attacked have died. At
Kobe two European ladies, Mrs. Shredder
and daughter, succumbed to the disease.
They died within eighteen hours from the
time of being taken down. There is no
doubt the disease is true Aslatic cholera Of
the most malignant type. Working people
when stricken with the disease perish be.
fore they can be removed to hospital.
When the disease fret appeared at Maya
saki the government did nothing to pre-
vent its spread, and consequently it is now
raging in the country districts near Maya.
saki. The official record shows from fifty
to seventy-6ve fresh cases daily, of which
over one.half die.
The disease is aggravated by the poor
physical condition of the lower classes Of
Japanese, many of whom have had to sus-
tain life on boiled grass and the bark Of
trees, because OF the f..ilure Of the rice
crop. The government is now preventing
country people from Aocking to Toxic
markets and is disinfecting all travellers on
trains. but the disease is so widely scat
tered that their efforts are futile to check Il.

HAW AHA REVOLUTION
NATIVES MAY SOON DECLARE
1T A REPUBLIC.

The Next Advices From There May Bring
Ttdtngs of War-Educated Natives Anx-
tous to Wrest the Government from Eu-
ropeans and Americans.
Admiral Brown, of the flagship Charles
on. which arrived at Seattle from Homo
lulu, expressed the belief in an interview
that the next steamer from the Hawaiian
island will bring news of revolution and
probably OF the declaration of republic.
He said: Hitherto the Hawaiian govern
ment has been managed largely by Euro
peans and Americans, but the educated
n 'tives are beginning to feel that they are
competent to conduct the Hawaii ian gov
eminent, and that the part played by the
foreigners in the control of affairs
was an unwarrantable interference with
their sacred rights. Accordingly their
schooled natives have gathered around
them band of followers which is daily in
creasing in strength, who have raised the
cry of Hawaii for Hawaiians.' The revo-
lutionists want an officer at the disposal of
the government. The malcontents have in
meeting with the mechanics union passed
resolutions asking that this patronage be
giuen to the natives and members of their
own party. This request has been
ignored by the government. The
United States, knowing the unsolid con-
dition of affairs, sent the Charleston out
there about three months ago to protect
the citizens and our interests. During all
my time there matters were becoming
more and more perturbed, and an uprising
by revolutionists had actually been planned
for the 4th OF August. learned of it the
first day Of the month, but We
received sailing orders on the
second. The news of our intended
departure evidently led the revolutionary
party to postpone until after We left the
execution of their design, but We conf
IDENTIFY expect to hear by next advices from
Honolulu that there has been an actual
outbreak, if revolution has not really
been ACCOMPLISHED"

THE JAMES RIVER.
1t Is Rapidly Drying Up and Its Waters
Are Unfit to Drink.

1t Is Rapidly Drying Up and Its Waters
Are Unfit to Drink.
Grave fears are entertained in regard to
the possibility of the James or Dakota
river becoming thing of the past. 1t is
rapidly drying up, and, if the present con-
d!tions continue, the time will not be far
off when the noble and classic river will be
no more. Never before, within the ken of
mortals. has the stage of water been so
low, and the little water there is, is stag
nant, putrid and unfit to be used for any
purposes whatever. People who have
been in the habit of pasturing their stock
on the banks of the river have been COM
PEELED either to move their herds to other
parts Or sink wells in order to secure
suficiency of water for their cattle.
This is a serious drawback to a number Of
our farmers, who, experiencing the fact
that depending entirely upon wheat was
not remunerative, had invested their
money in stock. The question Of secur-
ing suf6ciency of water is becoming q
very serious one, and our farmers are
awakening to full realization that in the
artesian wells lies the only salvation of the
country. In no part of the state is as
much interest taken in the matter as is the
case in this vicinity. Experiments in irri-
cation have been made with the water
from the Mellette artesian we'll, and the
results have been SO very satisfactory and
the benefits so obvious that the success of
irrigation by this method is disputed by
none, and all concede that it is the only
possible way in which this country will
ever fully develop and prosper. Several
wells are at present being sunk, and if
these prove to be successful nearly every
quarter section of land in the country will
possess we'll in short order.

The political demonstration at Massillon,
o.. on the Goth, the accompaniment OF
which was the nomination Of Maj. William
Mckinley for congress in the Sixth dis
trict, was one Of the greatest that ever oc-
Cured in Ohio. The republicans OF the
district turned out in great, enthusiastic
BODY and proclaimed him their candidate
without the Formally of the usual delegate
convention. The district has been so re-
formed by the democrats as to give that
party natural majority of the voters
within the new limits, but the republicans
are determined to elect him.
About $4,000 people were in the city,
which was gally decorated. Congressman
Smyser early in the day received the fol-
lowing telegram from James G. Blaine:
II trust your convention to-day will nonai-
nate Maj Mckinley for congress. He has
been true and tried for the lsst twenty
wears. On many occasions he has helped

The opera house was damned full of re-
publicans when the convention opened. A
telegram from the secretary was read, caus-
ing immense cheering. Congressman
Smyser introduced Judge Munson, Of Me-
dina, who made speech nominating Nc
Kinley. He reserved McKinley's name to
the last, and as it was pronounced cheers
and shouts arose that fairly shook the
house. When vote was called for by
Smyser the walls quivered with the mighty

and cheered again. Maj. Mckinley then
