THE GROWING COTTON CROP.
Complaints of Too Much Rain In Som
Sections.

There has been no change in the condi-
tion Of the growing cotton crop in most
places during the last week Every cor
respondent states that the plant has been
growing rapidly and fruiting well. In
some places, however, there has been too
much rain, and it is expected that it will
cause the weed to flourish, while the
blooms will be injured by rust.

ports received yesterday:

UPLAND COTTON.

Tennille, Washington County, July 10
The condition of cotton Is not

A Suction Sand Dredpe,

A notable work in it's line is de-
scribed in The Engineering News
namely, a suction sand dredge with
a capacity of 1000 tons per hour,
built by the Naval Construction and
Armament company Of Barrow-in-
Furness, England, for operations on
the Mersey bar. The sand pumping
machinery consists of two centrifu-
gal pumps with 36 inch suction and
delivery pipes. These pumps are on
each side of a well and draw from a
T head at the top of the suction pipe,
and around this head as a trunnion
the tube can be raised or lowered to
suit the depth of the water, and a
ball and socket joint gives a certain
amount Of lateral motion. The sue
ton nozzle is turned over at the bot
tom, with its aperture almost at right
angles to the axis of the tube.
The hull Of the dredge is 1926 feet
long by about 20 feet E inches deep
and As feet 10 inches wide, the load
ed draft being 16 feet and 4 inches.
She has twin screw engines and a
speed of 10 knots loaded. The sand
is pumped into hoppers, and opera
tons show that the latter may be
filed at the rate of 100 tons per min

A GOOD COMBINATION.
Bryan of Nebraska Urges the Union
of All Evil Forces.

Congressman Bryan has issued a
manifesto to Nebraska democrats in
which he sums up the causes which
led to the defeat of fusion and an
his retirement from the po-
litical arena. He says:
81 shall continue as lawyer and
editor to advocate the fusion of pop
ulists and democrats. 1t is the only
hope against combined monopoly.
If all democrats had acquiesed in
the action Of a ma jority of a party
we could have elected all the state
officers. If the populists had shown
more liberality in their treatment of
friendly democrats we might have
secured IA Legislature in harmony
with the governor favorable to tariff
reforms, to the free coinage of silver,
to All income tax and to the election
of United States senators by direct
vote of the people,

GOOD ENOUGH.
Japan Is Buying a Heap of Yankee
Stuff These Days.

W. G.. Norris, who went to Japan
a year ago to represent a syndicate
of Chicago merchants, has secured
two of the largest contracts V a
warded American firms. One goes
to Armour 4 Co. for canned corn
beef to be supplied the Japan army.
The other is a $4,000 contract for
cast iron pipe to be used in extend
ing the Toxic water works. The
pipe will be made in Alabama and
sem to Takoma for shipment, the
American firm having met the com
petition of English, French and Bel
gian bidders.
The Chicago syndicate which Nor
ris represents was organized just af-
ter the worlds fair as IA result of an
expressed desire of the japanese
commission to stimulate trade with
America. The United States i'm
ports goods worth $23,OOO,OOO from
Japan yearly and the exports to that
country amount to $4,000, coo. 1t
is believed by those interested that
this trade can be evened up.

A q Mistake.

The manager of a well known
brewery in the Midland counties, re-
markable for his severity and love of
showing his authority to the en-
ployees of the firm, noticed one day
while going his usual rounds in the
brewery yard a big fellow Longing
about on one of the railway sidings.
Approaching him, he inquired what
he vas earning a week, and on being
told 20 shillings the manager gave
him a sovereign, at the same time
telling him to clear out, as they could
not afford to pay for idleness. Next
day the manager saw the fellow
again in the same place. Very an
grily he said to him, II thought I
dismissed you yesterday" You can
imagine the managers chagrin and
surprise when the fellow told him
that he was employed by the Mid
land Railway company.-Uttoxeter

An Old Fashioned AdOnis.

The Duke of Rutland is the Adonis

During his So years of political life
he has never been anything other
than a dandy, though he is now SO
isolated an example of the old nobil-

His grace bustles through life a mod

gray trousers, vanished boots, dim

cooked upon his soft white silky hair,
the puckered lineaments focused into
a critical stare by the large gold eye

piptkeria Poisoning.

DIR. Devere, IA prominent resident
of Pittsburg, has II narrow escape
from death. Last week he attended
a patient who was sick with malig-
nant attack of diphtheria. One day
he scratched the end Of one of his
thumbs, but not enough to break the
skin. He paid no attention to the
scratch, and called on his patient
and gave the usual remedy. In some
way diphtheric microbe lodged on
the scratch. In "A few hours the
thumb began to throb and beat, and
then began to beat severely y, with
the pain came "a swelling, and the
entire thumb was swollen tOmore than
double its original size, and the pain
began to spread through the entire
arm. The doctor found that it was
blood-poisoning of the worst kind,
and was at last compelled to remain
in the house. He suffered terrible
agony for several days, and it re-
CURED IA great deal of expert medical
attendance to check the further
spreading of the poison and pain.
The poison was so virulent that the
top of the thumb was eaten away
and the bone exposed.

The Great Seal of State.

1t requires an order from the pres

an impression of the great seal of

state. The same formal reply is sent
to all of them-that under the law
no impressions of the seal can go out
of the department unless they are
affixed to official papers. The presi,
dent of the United States could give
authority to a collector to obtain an
impression of the seal, but no presi-
