RETURNED FOR REPAIRS.
The Cook Arctic Expedition Steamer
 Myranda Disabled by an Iceberg.

Myranda Disabled by an Iceberg.
 ST. JoHNs. N. F., July a5.-The steamer Myranda, carrying to Green land the Cook Arctic expedition. con sisting of fifty-four persons, professors. scientists, university students and others, for the purpose of exploring West Greenland, which left here Sun day. July i5, returned yesterday morn ing disabled, having collided with an iceberg at the entrance to the Straits of Belle Isle.
 The accident occurred at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning last, when the ship was about eight miles north of Belle Island. during fog. She struck with her bow, and the force of the collision drove in three plates in the star board bow and about twenty feet of deck rail and completely smashed the hawse pipe, rendering the anchor use less.
 It is expected the damage to the ship will all be repaired in ten days, when another attempt will be made to carry out the objects of the expedition Some of the passengers contemplate abandoning the trip, and will return to New York. The majority. however, will continue the voyage.

BURNED LIKE FINDER.

The Town of Chenoa Again Visited by Fire
 ty-Four Business Houses, with Their
 Contents, Entirely Destroycd-A Citizen
 Horribly and Fatally Injured.
 CHENoA, H.. July 2j.-Chenoa was visited yesterday afternoon by another confiagration similar in character and extent to that which destroyed the most of its business houses four years ago. The entire business portion of the place east of the Alton tracks and south of the Toledo, Peoria and Vest crn was wiped out with loss of about $500. 900. This includes a number of ele- gant brick business edifices, nearly new. and number of valuable stocks of goods.
 The fire broke out early yesterday afternoon in Ballinger's livery stable and spread with fearful rapidity, everything being dry as finder after the summers drought. J. T. Mcken- zie leaped from a second story window and was irnpaled upon an iron picket and horribly and fatally wounded.
 Fifty-four buildings were entirely de- stroyed, with scarcely a dollars worth of the stocks of the stores saved. The town had absolutely no fire protection whatever

Eggs: Eggs are always welcome addition to the morning meal, and if a little thought and care are given to their preparation, they serve to vary the usual somewhat tiresome steaks and chops. Perhaps the best way to cook eggs is to put them in kettle or tin basin, pour on a quantity of boiling water and let them stand on the back of the stove ten minutes, or. if you are hurried, after they have been in the first water three minutes. pour it off and fill again with boiling water; in four minutes more they will be done. Mashed with silver fork on your plate. seasoned with butter, salt and pepper it makes delicious addition to your bi sakfast-toast- This is for the epicure who cares more for comfort than for style.-N. !. Observer.

 CHIcAGo, July 25.-The reports as to conditions of crops throughout the country and the general influence of weather on growth, cultivation and harvest, was yesterday made by the directors of the different state weather services of the United States weather bureau. The reports received by tele- graph at Chicago are as follows:
 Indiana-IIot and dry until Friday when numerous local rains fell. bene- fitting corn in many fields; wheat and rye threshing: oats and hay harvests continue with good yields.
 Illinois Rainfall, except in q few counties. below the normal and badly distributed; temperature below normal and sunshine normal: where rain fell crops continue improved: wheat yield and quality best in years: oats and rye harvcsts about over: more rain needed.
 Ohio-Corn suffered seriously from drought but reviving from rains; hay ing completed with light yield se- cured in fine conditions; oat harvest well advanced but yield shortened by drought. wheat threshing out with large yield; late potatoes, tobacco and young clover and pastures damaged.
 MissOuri-Good showers in the cen tral and western sections greatly bene- fited corn: in other sections drought continued; pastures failing and water scarce, and unless rain falls soon much corn will be ruined
 Michigan-Temperature and sun shine above normal. rainfall below: excessively dry and hot weather has in- jured late crops of potatoes, garden truck and pastures: drought broken by general rain on the 20th, which re- vived vegetation somewhat, but more needed: wheat cut and threshing be- gun: oats harvest next week.
 ntucky-Cloudy and cool, drought broken in most sections by showers during the week; crops generally inn proved and outlook for corn fine. but tobacco still backwards; early potatoes very short: hay harvest completed, with very light yield; hemp doing poorly.

Meet. Purely by Accident. at the House of
 Hon. NJ. A. Hanna. of Cleveland, Q.
 CLEVELAND, O., July 25.-Gov. Me Kinley of Ohio, EN-Gov. Alger. of Michi- gan. and Ex-Gov. Merriam, of Minnesota. were guests of Hon. NJ. A. Hanna, of this city, yesterday. There were many rumors in political and of fieial circles as to the object of the meeting. It was the general impress. sion among politicians that it was in some way connected with Mckinley's presidential candidacy.
 To United Press man Mir. Hanna said that there was no political signif. canoe in the meeting at all. "Mckin- ley frequently visits me" said he, which is true. '.Alger is in the city to address the Tippecanoe club, and Mer- riam, who is lover of fine horsefiesh, will attend the races.

II appears from what has already been
said that peanuts are extraordinarily nu-
tritious, and that. though almost wholly
tndigestfble raw or roasted, when reduced
to meal and boiled or otherwise thorough.
~ cooked, they are readily assImilated.
Owing TO their low proportion OF sugar
and starch they may serve to enlarge In
most welcome degree the bill OF fare OF
persons under treatment for obesity. In
other words. they are an ideal anti-fat
diet. From two points Of view their value
as food II OF interest TO Americans. In
the first place. would II be desirable or
practicable to introduce the meal and
grits here7 Secondly. IL this new discove-
ry likely to stimulate the demand for
United States peanuts? The latter ques-
ton is likely TO be answered In the mega
tive. inasmuch as this kind OF crop can
be grown and gathered In Africa more
cheaply than In this country.
OF course, as a matter Of fact, the pea
