An Act of Heroisxn.

A man named Hallowell, who recently
died in Baltimore, was the hero of
deed of moral and physical courage
never surpassed. When young he was
a fireman, and one day large fire
broke out in tobacco warehouse. An
hour later, when there were half
dozen firemen within the burning build
ing. Hallowen observed that the front
portion of the first floor was about to
fall in such manner that if the fam
ing timberS were allowed to come to the
ground they would close the only exit,
which was by the front door. Rushing
forward, he caught the timbers upon
his shoulders, and, being man of her
culean strength, was able to sustain
the heavy weight. He had just shouted
to the men behind him to hurry out,
when the ceiling on his right collapsed,
and his brother fell through. his clothes
on fire. By deserving his post and
sacrificing the lives of the men back of
him, Hallowen might have saved his
brother, he never finched, and, with
broad shoulders, held the gate of fire
until all the men had passed out. Then
the men turned and rescued the brave
man and his brother by propping up
with beams the blazing. doorway. The
hero was a month in the hospital, and
his face and body were SCARED for life,
but he lived many years to be known
as the bravest man in Baltimore.-Gold-

KANSAS CROPS.

Condition of Crops Along the Santa Fe
Road-Wheat Short But Other Crops
More Promising.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 12.-The
Times report of the conditions of the
crop along the Santa Fe road are IS
follows:
GREENsBURG, Kan, May IA light rain
that was much needed fell here Wednesday
night, and wheat is in fair condition consider
ing the dry weather. II there are heavy rains
during the coming week wheat viii pull through
all right and the crop Will be an average one
The dry season has had serious effect upon
the corn Just planted It has not begun to
sprout and farmers feel pretty blue for the
prospects do not even point to a fair yield
WICHITA, Kan, May l2.-This spring has
gone to the extremes in dryness and lack OF
rain. as previous springs have had more than
an abundant supply OF rain Owing to the con-
tnued dry weather the wheat yield in this and
adjoining counties cannot be more than one
third OF last years crop Oats are in the same
condition that wheat is, and unless there is
immediate rainfall the crop win be ruined
Corn is coming up badly on account of the dry
ground The outlook is not encouraging.
KINGMAN KasL, May 12-This county has
about 90, 900 acres of wheat and with favorable
weather the yield viii be about half crop II
rain does not come soon the wheat field will be
plowed up and planted in corn The acreage OF
corn is considerably less than that OF wheat
and is somewhat lighter than usual Corn Ii
up and in fair condition
LARNED, Kan, May 12.-The acreage of wheat
In this county was 5000, but the yield will not
be more than three bushels to the acre because
of the prolonged drought As there has been
no rain to amount to anything during the
spring the soil is too dry and hard for listing
corn. No corn is yet in sight. and the pros
poets for average crop are not f1attering
ELDORADO, Kan, May 12..General prospects
are about an average and favorable weather
will increase the yield considerably. The acre
age of wheat will reach the usual number and
60 hi 70 OH 80
cent More corn has been planted than at the
same time last spring and about three fourths
of yield is fair estimate of the corn crop
Oats are in good condition and the acreage is
about 10 per cent more than that of last spring.
WELLINGTON, Kan, May 72-The acreage in
wheat is the largest ever known in this county
and the present prospects indicate a half crop.
Immediate rains would swell the acreage more
than one-fourth The lack OF rain is telling on
the corn crop. The corn that is up is very
small and much of it is lying in the ground not
sprouted- Where wheat is bad some of 1t is
being plowed up and planted in corn, there is
yet time for corn with the usual spring rains
GARDEN CITY, Kan, May 12-The wheat
crop outlook in the surrounding territory is not
at all discouraging During the last two weeks
local rains have covered about all this terri
tory. The average yield will not be under four
teen bushels per acre. Good outlook for a corn
crop The fine rains this week have almost as
Sured good, fair wheat crop.

On Time.

And very early too. That's what any one
should be in treating oneself for inaction of
the kidneys and bladder. The diuretic which
experience indicates as supplying the reQui-
site stimulation to the organs without excit-
ing them, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Don't delay; kidney inaction and disease are
not far apart. For fever and ague, dyspepsia,
constipation, rheumatism and nerve debility,
also, use the Bitters.
