Sarah Athens Last HOBO Gone.

Judge Shafter has given his written
findings of facts and the Judgment in the
Sharon case. They are brief and eff ctu-
ally knock out Sarah Althea. He finds
that she was never the wife of Sharon, as
there is no evidence to show that Sharon
ever signed the alleged contract or lived
with her as his wife. The conclusion of
the court is that as the plaintiff and Sharon
we're never husband and wife She has no
right or claim to any share of the Sharon
estate, and that the defendant may recover
bis costs. If the latter decree be carried
out it will strip Sarah Althea of everything
she has. Her little property left by Judge
Terry wont pay one-ffth of the costs of
this action.

THE LOTTERY OCTOPUS.

Exposure of Its Gigantic Power For Evil

The anti-lottery league has issued on ad-
dress to the people of the United States,

istors to do It's will and to override the
people; the use Of enormous revenues,
greater than all the banking capital Of the

hold its monopoly; its corruptions of the
moral sense Of even good people, and it's
utter carrying away Of the ignorant, many

Huge Ratt OkIOpS,

The tremendous Loary raft, which started
from st. Joho, N. B., on juno II, was
towe by its iron h,id!e into Hemstcad
Bay, New York, by the tugs B. F. Havl-
land and j. p. Heiperhauser. A stiff
southerly wind, which piled up a pretty
nasty sea, left tho RAFT navigators to seek
shelter i'll Hemstead harpor for the hight.
j he raft is net q handsome marine struc-
ture. Its fourteen chain .enwrapped sec
tons Of SEQ logs each, hauled lengt' Svise,
are bitcsel tandem, like the joints of a
pack hone. Each section is GU fest long
aud So feet wide ana draws IL feet of
water. Only a few feet project above th9
surface, suggesting tho back of an enor-
nous dislocateh sea snake. Eeach section
IS q rude fiat -bottomed ship in itself and
is joined to the others by long chains ex-
tending from one end of the raft to the
other. To an iron chain bride from the
first section the tow lines are pitched. The
owner Of the giant raft, by bringing bis
lum!e r to New York uncut, saves about
49, 900 III customs duties. The total value
Of tbs raft will ba about $50, 900.

is IN GOOD LUCK,

The Farmer Who Has a Good Crop of Po-
tatoes-Prices ut Present in a Heavy Up
Grade.
The hot, dry weather has had a serious
effect on the potato crop, as we'll as on
grains. Inquiry among the South Water
street commission merchants elicits the in
formation that prices ordinarily ruling
have advanced from $3.50 and salts per
barrel, to 1926. Said one of the dealers:
1--WE have been getting our potatoes from
Philadelphia for several weeks past. It is
o little early yet for the Wisconsin crop to
come in, upon which WI principally de-
pend, but our advices from that state are
to the effect that the crop is very short,
the yield in some places being about one-
third. You can't buy good potatoes to-day
On the track for less than $1.35 per bushel
and you can't get them at retail TO,
less than from $1.4O to $3.50 per bushel.
Tie fall and winter prices will be away up,
sure"
Said another dealer:
Prices nave advanced Is to 20 cents Der
bushel during the last month. Our infor-
nation from the northwest is to the effect
that the crop is about one-third short.
Onions are also short and prices advanc-
ing. It's pretty hard to get a good article
now. Both onions and potatoes will COM
mand fancy prices this winter"

Temperature-The average temperature
of the elk ending Aug. 8, was 80 de-

out tho state. At the central station the
excess was 81 degrees. Tie amount Of
sunshine was also above an average.
Rainfall-The severity of the drouth was
greatly mitigated by showers on the I'd,
Sd and 9Th, which brought a measure Of
relief to all parts Of the state. Reports Of
precipitation above normal are received
from the following counties: Adair, 1.6O

The showers on the Sd and 9Th inst. were
accompanied by wind squalls and hail,
which wrought some local damage to crops
and buildings. The hail storms were most
severe in. northern tier Of counties, result
ing in loss of stock and crops in belt of
about twelve miles wide and forty to fifty
long. Near Des Moines, on the Sd, build
ings and haystacks were damaged, but
there was no Cyclone" or tornado, as re-
ported abroad.
On the 9Th, wind and hail inflicted oon-
siderable loss in Union and Taylor coun-
ties, the track Of the storm being about
five miles wide.
Condition of Crops-Secretary Shaffer
has tabulated the reports of about 1,l00
crop correspondents, representing every
county in the state, showing condition Of
crops Aug. l. Following are the
averages of leading crops: Corn 79A
per cent; sorghum, 50; fax, 95;
millet, IS; potatoes, 60: sweet potatoes,
G2; broom corn, 76; apples, 66; grapes,
50; pastures, 70. Average yield per acre

spring wheat, 11S; oats, 80; winter barley,
24!!; spring barley, "a; rye, 143; clover
seed, %; timothy, 81; hay averages II
tons.
Tho past week has materially improved
the outlook for all growing crops, espe-
clally corn and late potatoes. With fairly
good conditions in the remainder of the
season, this state will produce rs per cant
of an average corn crop. And prices will
favor the producers this year. They arc
entitled to a benefit, now and then.

MRS. LUPINSKPS DEATH.
Her Departure Occurred Yesterday After
noon Mt O'clock.

Friends of Mrs. Or. Lupinskl were
deeply shocked and panied yesterday
afternoon at the announcement of the
sudden death of that estimable lady at
the family residence. 245 Crescent-ave.
The Luplnski family retired as usual
on Monday night, the doctor and his
vile occupying adjoining rooms. With
Mrs. Lupiuski was 4-mOnth sold babe.
some time during the early morning
the doctor was awakened by the
unusually pitiful crying of the babe.
and was by that drawn into the room 10
learn the cause. Entering, he found
mis- wife lying on the couch, breathing
heavily, as II from the effects OF NOR
phlne. Drs. GriswOld, Boise and
Schurz were Immediately sent for
whose combined opinion LETT no doubt
that the lady was suffering from NOR
phine poisoning. The drug had been
injected hypOdermically. and thus the
dangers were greatly multiplied. All
efforts were made to save the lady's
life. but she sank 10 the inevitable, and
NJ 3 o'clock IN the afternoon breathed
her last.
Professor Cannon, an intimate friend
of the family, was at the doctors resi-
deuce last evening, and asked that his
statement be received as authoritative.
He was earnest in the affirmation that
no outward circumstances OF the Lu-
pinskTs domestic life afforded any
grounds for A theory Of suicide. Mrs.
IupinskTs health has been feeble many
months. and the reasonable conjecture
is that she took the drug TO relieve
SDwe nhvsfral main. Being herself a
graduated physician. she took the drug
hvpodermically through over-conh-
deuce In her own judgment.
Deceased was a lady Of the highest
cultivation. being a graduate of the
Michigan University both Ia letters in
medicine. Her circle Of friends is
.arge and devoted. and her death has
left upon the community a profound
sense Of gloom and sorrow.
Coroner Locher VIII make enquiry
into the circumstances of the case, and
viii hold an inquest f he thinks it nee
ess2ry.
