Massachusetts Republican conventions have
never been small enough to be unrepcscnt-
alive in fact, they have been generously large :;
but under the new plan agreed upon ycs;er
day by the State Committee the next conven-
ton will contain not fewer than 2,112 dele
gates. 1t is a question whether so large body
will be able to transact bushes, with reason
able promptitude. The rule Of good work by
Massachusetts, conventions is not likely, how
ever, to be departed from.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
For the Week Ending Tuesday, Sept.
II, 1898.

For the Week Ending Tuesday, Sept.
II, 1898.
By Willis Moore, Forecast Official, Mil.
Drouth continues, with no immedi-
ate prospect of abatement. In some
places corn has dried up, in others it is
a good crop. Cutting is being vigor-
ously prosecuted and it will nearly all
be in the shock by the end of this
week. On the whole the crop will be
below the average.
Potatoes have suffered more than
any other crop as result of the
drouth, and the crop which on July 1st
showed such wonderful promise has
matured not over two thirds of a crop
and possibly the yield when measured
up may not exceed one-half.
Pastures are gone, and the dairy
men are feeding nearly as much as in
winter in order to keep up the flow of
milk.
But little blowing and seeding of
winter wheat has been done, and that
which has been sown has not enough
moisture to terminate and grow.
Fires have done much damage, es-
pecially to cranberry marshes in the
vicinity of Meadow Valley and Bears
Marsh, four of the most valuable
marshes in the latter place being
burned over.
While the loss by frost to the cram
berry crop was great, picking shows
that the first reports of damage were
little excessive, and that one-half of
crop will be gathered probably two
thirds.
Tobacco is being harvested as fast
as it ripens and there are some good
pieces. The late fields will depend
on the weather, but it is not probably
that an average yield will be secured.
But considering the unfavorable
weather during much of the growing
season the crop is better than would
naturally be expected.
The average rainfall for the past
week is about .68 of an inch. Not
even a shower is reported from any
part of the state. This is the first
week this season that none of our
numerous correspondents have re-
ported rains.

A little boy of Mrs. McDonald's

stove and was fearfully burned. The
pain was terrible, and it was thought
that the burn was so severe as to scar
the child for life. sold the lady a
bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm,

applied. 1t soon removed all the fire
and eased the pain, and in ten days

Our treatment is mild. yet very efficacious. and

Those afflicted with Catarrh can be cured much
quicker now than when the weather causes greater
inflammation, and it is their interest to attend
to this matter at once.
The following from an Oakland patient shows
what cure will do for all:
GENTLEMEN: When 1 felt your office Decora-

enough for what you have done for me- and wish
to do so now. and also for your very courteous
treatment of my complaints and murmurs.
The offensive mucus dropping in my throat and
consequent weakness of my stomach, together
with the ringing in my ears, made me nervous
and peevish. and now that am cured could sing

neary six years and spent several hundred dol
lars vainly seeking a cure When 1 visited you

finished one bottle thoughC the dropping of the
mucus was checked and so was encouraged TO per.
severe, and at the end of six weeks the trouble
ceased and 1 thought myself cured. but as you
advised me to continue did for two weeks
mora Nearly four weeks have passed. and
although have had one severe cold since then
not one symptom of catarrh has returned, and L
cured and happy and truly grateful Your
remedy is wonderful one, and all my friends
think it has worked a miracle In my case. Yours
