HORRIBLE BUTCHERY.
Texas Robbers Murder an Old
Woman and Three Children.

Woman and Three Children.
George Newbury, well-to-do farmer, iv-
ing two miles west of Joshua Texas, re-
ceived $500 from the Santa Fe Railroad,
which he took tohis home and secreted.
Next day he went on short trip, leaving
his mother, sixty years old, with his three
children, at home. At one o'clock that
morning Mrs. Newbury heard knock at
the door and opened it, thinking her son had
demanded money. The old lady said she had
none, whereupon the brutes dragged her into
the yard, tied her to a gate-post and cut her
throat with butcher-knife.
One Of the men returned to the house, and
Going to the bed where Newbury's seven.
year-old daughter was asleep, aroused her
and demanded that she tell where her faith
er's money was hidden. The murderer
dragged her from the bed into thu yard. ana
with the bloody butcher knife that had cut
her grandmother's throat, cut the chilG's
neck almost in twain.
He again returned to the house, and drag
cling the five.year.old child from the bad out
into the yard. cut her throat almost In Two.
The sight of blood seemed to create thirst
for more, and the red handed murderer re-
turne the third time to the house and came
out with the two -yaar-old baby boy or Now
bury crying in his arms.
Going to the gate where he had killed the
other two children, dead at the feet of Mrs:
Newbury. he took the butcher knife and
with one long thrust cut the infants throat
from ear to ear. Pitching the quivering,
bleeding little form into the heap at
his feet, the fiend with his companion
mounted horse and mule and galloped
away.
Several hours later neighbors discovered
the bodies and the alarm was given. There
is no clue to the murderers, but the whole
country is on the alert, and il they are cap
tured no court will ever be put to the trouble
Of trying them.

CONDITION OF CROPS.
The Agricultural Departments
Monthly Report.
A Very Large Increase in the
Grain Acreage.

The July report Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture makes the acreage,
as compared with the breadth harvested
last year, as follows: Corn, 1888; potatoes,
1923; tobacco, 1926. Condition: Corn, 92.s;
winter wheat, 9e.2; spring wheat, OIL; rye,
es.9; oats $40; barley, 90.s; potatoes
95.3; tobacco, OIL. The heavy increase in
The present return makes the acreage slight
ly less than 7s, ,O0G, 900 acres, or somewhat
smaller than the area actually planted last
year.
The crop Is Late In all sections on account
Of drouth and unfavorable conditions at the
time Of planting and cool weather during
May, but June was warm with abundant
moisture. and the crop was coming forward
rapidly on July l..
The condition of winter wheat is returned
practically the same as in June. The crop is
harvested except tn its more northern habi,
tat, with condition the highest reported
since 1879 with one exception. The condition
of spring wheat improved during June, the
advance being in Minnesota and the Da-
kotaS where the month was exceptionally
favorable. State averages are: Wisconsin,
II: Minnesota, 93: Iowa, g.; Nebraska, 50;
North Dakota, 9e; South Dakota, 81; Wash
ington, 90.
Oats have improved during the month,
bat the general average Is the lowest re-
ported since 1879, except in 1887 and last
year, when q July condition OF el.6 was
followed by q practical failure Of the crop.
The first return Of potatoes shows q con-
dItion higher than the average Of recent
years, while that of tobaccois higher than In
any year since 1885. The fruit prospect Is
nattering.
A cable dispatch from the European agent
indicates heavy deficiency in the European
rye crop.
The July returns show some Improvement
in tho condition of cotton during June The
general average for the whole breadth has
advanced three points, standing at ss.6 The
slight Improvement noted has been general.
The crop Is universally late. In the A.
lnntio and Eastern Gulf States especially the
plant Is small and backward. From Missis.
sippt westward the, plant, while somewhat
backward, Is Of good color, making generally
vigorous growth. There is some complaint
Of lack Of labor. The outlook in Texas is
especially good.

The Care of Cut Flowers.

There is no place where flowers show
to such an advantage as in the home,
says an exchange. The flowers and
plants should be placed in their proper
shading so as to produce the best effect.
Never oyercrowd in floral decorations.
The most popular way of decorating the
home consists in placing beautiful foliage
plants, in different sha les of green, in
corners on small stands etageres. Flowers
are used with long stems and their own
foliage put in cases. A neat thing is
small number of miniature vases and cut
glass bowls placed on little tables and
illed with different colored carnations,
lillies-of-the-vallsy, mignonette, or sea-
sonable flowers. Each specimen should
be by itself. This produces an exceedo
ingly pretty effect. The fireplaces should
be we'll filled with potted plants, such as
ferns and variegated foliage plants. Over
pictures and doors, neat effect is OBJ
tained by draping long trailing ferns
and passion vines in bloom. To keep
flowers fresh as long as possible, cut
little off the stem each day. A hard
crust forms on the end of the stem,
which prevents the water from as.
cending, and should be cut away. A
little charcoal in the water will sweeten
them and keep them fresh longer.
The care of cut flowers is something
few women understand. Hundreds OF
dollars are spent in purchasing lovely
flowers that are allowed to perish for the.
want of attention. The delight OF hav-i
ing ones rooms frightened by fresh
flowers is so great that more time and
trouble would be bestowed upon them If
those who cared for them knew the great
difference it would make whether they
were merely put in water or whether
they wsre "nursed" and "petted" a
little.-- W0man's Ners.

FATAL DYNAMITE.
An Explosion Kills Two Men and
Sinks q Ship.

There was frightful explosion of dyna-
mite on board the steamship g. R. Booth,
moorei at the foot Of Richards street, Brook-

other portions Of the cargo. They were IN
the hold at 1O:30, fixing the tackle around
one of the packages. Then occurred a thun-
dering explosion, which could be heard for
miles and which shook the vessel from
bow to stern. A fash like light
ming and a huge cloud of smoke
shot up from the hold. Members Of the
cra,x, ,yora thrown down and Michael Ian
