that the door bell wire ran through
the corner OF the room she was In.
There was look OF triumph on her

The next time that the boy above

CROP PROSPECTS.
Regular Weekly Bullefin of tho New
England Weather Service.


England Weather Service.
Boston, Mass., August q. - The
weather for New England for the past
week has been generally hot and dry,
with plenty OF sunshine In many sections,
especially i'll the eastern part, no rain has
fallen during the seven dnys. IN the Ger
trail and northrrn Connecticut Valley sea-
sonablo rains have fallen, while light rains
were reported in other sections. The drought
still continues in the eastern section, al
though no serious damage is being done eX
cept locally in southeastern Massachusetts.
There very little rain fell at the time the
other parts OF New England were having
heavy rains, and consequently the present
lack of moisture is felt very quickly.
The general high temperature has had a
very good effect on the corn crop and it is
now growing very fast in most sections. In
central Ne" England the crop is considered
to he above the average. The sweet corn is
nearly ready to begin picking in western
Maine. Potatoes are still found to be light
everywhere. They are rusting to q consider
eble extent in the Northern States, but no
rot hes yet been reported. Many fields Of
the lato variety are still green and there is
| chance for considerable growth yet.
Grasshoppers ara doing great damage 10
cabbGgcs and other fall crops in Newbury,
Mass. The new cattle pest, called the horn
I fly, is now reported in eastern Connecticut,
central Mossa chusetts, and southern Yer
mont. Tho Massachusetts board of ngri-
culture mention tho use of tobacco dust,
pyrethrum or insect powder and prepara-
ton known us o. y. dust Tor their relief.
| These remedies are recommended by en-
tomoloGists.
No important change is indicated in the
conditions of fruit, except that cranberries
are being injured on some bogs by the
drought and on Others by the span worm.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug 26-The letter Of
acceptance of General John Bidwell OF
California, nominee of the Prohibition
party for President of the United States,
has been given out for publication in the
Prohibition press today. The letter is
long and discusses the principles of the
party as euunciated in the Cincinnati
platform. On the basis principle of alb
solutc prohibition, General Bidwell says
that the danger of monopolistic tenden-
cies menacing the government is not SO
great as that of the destructive results
sure to come from the liquor traffic. 1t is
the constant menace of labor which
creates the wealth of the nation, and the
traffic is now sapping and impoverishing
the very foundation Of the national fabric,
Passing to the question Of woman suf-
frage he urges immediate emancipation of
women. The nation that first gives women
equal rights with men, he says, will earn
crown Of impcrishable glory. He fears
England will lead.
