THE DROUGHT AND The CROPS.
The Effect Of the Long Dry Spell
Throughout the State.

The Effect Of the Long Dry Spell
Throughout the State.
The state weather bureau report shows
that last week was marked by an almost
total absence Of rain in all parts of the
state. In the south there IL a serious
drought, no rain having fallen in some
counties for seven weeks except within the
last day or two. The weather has been
warm and sunsniny and where the ground
has not become too dry, has teen favora-
BILE one for farm work
Such was the case In the northern coun-
ties where the farmers have succeeded in
making up good deal of time lost by the
backward spring. Reports from this Sec
ton are in general favorable, although light
rains would be beneficial. The dry weather
has dried out the bottoms so that they
could be planted. At the same time no
permanent injury seems to have resulted
from the lack of rain. Relatively the tenn
perature has been the highest in the north
west, that Is, the departure from the normal
has been greater there than in other por-
tions of the state. W heat, oats and corn in
these northern counties seem to be, as
rule, In more than average condition. Cot
ton is slow about coming up. The reports
as to the fruit are encouraging, especially
as to peaches.
fArlner southwark the lanQs are more
parched. In most counties no rain fell and
In some sections there has been no rain for
more than a month. Oats and cotton have
suffered most in the driest spots-oats are
already ruined. Without rain the injury
will soon be extensive. Cotton has come up
poorly and shows bad stands on account of
the drought. Corn has stood the want Of
rain better, but it is turning yellow in some
places. Fruit still promises a fair crop, but
in few cases is reported to be dropping for
want of moisture. The baked condition of
the soil has brought farm work to stand
still on upands.
There was little cloudiness and seasonal
BILE heat throughout the southern section of
the state. The drought. which has now
lasted nearly two months, has seriously
damaged oats and cotton. Melons, pota-
toes, rice and other minor crops have also
suffered much. More favorable reports are
received as to corn, but this in some places
is turning yellow. The fruit crop, which
up to the present has promised excellently,
is sustaining considerable damage. From
the long drought the ground has become so
baked and hard that blowing is in many
cases difficult

AT THE OPERA.
"La Mascotte" Before a Delighted

"La Mascotte" Before a Delighted
Audience.
The Deshon Opera Company was greeted
by another big audience last night. I'M
mediately after the trades procession passed
the theater every seat was filed and good
standing room was at a premium.
If applause is criterion LEA "Mascotte"
has never been played TO more thoroughly
pleased audience.
Frank Deshon was irrepressible as "Prince
Lorenzo" and Claude Amsden added much
to the fun-making as Rocco"
Miss May Douglass and Miss Macs weeny
and De Lacey filed their characters ac-
ceptably.
The first appearance of Miss Madeline
Lucette with the Deshon company was an
event. Her first step upon the stage gave her
a place in the favor of the audience. Her re-
fined and dainty touches added materially
to her graceful charms and her clever SOU
brette acting. She looked pretty, especially
in the second and third acts. She gave
the Gobble duet, while not with particu-
larly great strength, with much sympathy =.
Her voice was sweet in the last act, and con-
sidering that she had but one rehearsal with
the company, her performance was excel
lent.
MIR. Deshon's wit differs from the usual
comedy and is fresh and clear.
This afternoon Solomon's famous opera
"Billie Taylor" will be given and tonight
the 'Mikado"

Fugitive or Dead.
Philip Hicks, the wounded escaped con-

stable Eady was published in yesterdays
MORNING NEWS, is still at large with De-
tective Morgan's handouts. The officers
think he is either concealed in somebody's
house or has gone into the country to nurse
his wounds, or is possibly dead in some out
of-the-wey place.
That Hicks is desperately wounded there
can hardly be a doubt, as Constable
Eady held his pistol SO close to Hicks head
when he fired that the blood spurted out on
the barrel of the weapon. The bullet was
3S-caliber and could not have glanced, as a
close investigation of the saloon where the
shooting occurred showed no indications OF
a bullet having struck any portion Of ii.
