Wisconsin Weather-CrOp Bulletin.
Weather Bureau, Aug. 6, 1894.

Weather Bureau, Aug. 6, 1894.
The weather conditions continue
unfavorable, though slight improve
ment is noted in a few counties owing
to local showers and cooler weather
Nearly all our correspondents report
the drouth unbroken and vegetation
drying up.
Frost occurred August Sd in Jack
son, Monroe, La Crosse, Vernon and
Grant counties. No great damage
except to cranberries unprotected by
water which were injured considerably.
Oats are all harvested except in the
northern portion where few fields
yet remain to be cut. Threshing is
about half completed in the southern
portion of the state. 1t is the opinion
of a majority of the reporters that all
small grains are nearly if not quite up
to the average in yield and quality.
Buckwheat is reported in good con-
dition and an average yield is antici-
pated. Corn and potatoes however
are permanently injured by the long
drouth. Corn planted in light soil
will be nearly failure and some farm
ers are cutting it up for feed. 1t is
the general opinion that not more
than half a crop can be secured even
with abundant rain.
Potatoes will be small and few in a
hill. The outlook for grapes is good,
the dry weather being favorable for
that crop. Tobacco is also doing fair
ly well.
Pastures are dead and stock is being
fed in many counties, and as conse-
quence the milk supply is falling of
rapidly.
Forest fires continue except in some
sections where local showers have par.
italy checked their progress. Much
damage is still being done to the Gran
berry and hay marshes.

An amendment is pending in the
Constitutional Convention of New
York, prohibiting railway companies
from giving free passes to public
officials. The extent of the abuse at
which it is aimed is forcibly illustrat-
ed by the statements made in letter
written by Second Vice President
Brooks, of the Pennsylvania Railway
Company, and submitted to the con-
vention by President Choate. In it
Mr.. Brooks says
There was a time when public
officials were content to receive oc-
casionally trip pass for themselves.
They have learned To ask for passes
for themselves, for members of their
families and for political adherents
and others. They not only ask for
trip passes for themselves and friends
but they ask for annual passes fol-
themselves and friends, and no matter
how many passes may be granted to a
single individual, if single request
be refused tile enmity of that official
is aroused and his vengeance exercised
if he has an opportunity to do so.

Bill Nye Contemplating Trip For
Next Year.

Bill Nye and Mrs. Nye were in the
city yesterday, stopping at the Battery
Park and remaining until this morn
ing. In conversation with The
Citizen Mr.. Nye said he would not
lecture at all the coming season. He
has, however, promised the syn dictate
for which his weekly letters are writ
ten, the American Press association,
TO take trip around the world and
write it up" 1t is possible that he
will start on this globe-girdling mis-
sion in January. But he is in CORES
pondence with the association with a
view to deferring this trip, and spend
ing the winter in Washington City,
where his daughters, Misses Bessie
and Winnie, will be in school. 81
think there is some material there
for letter. he added, with serious
ness that made the remark the more
suggestive of the fun there would be
in a series of Nye letters from the
National Capital.
Mr.. Nye would prefer the latter trip
this winter, but it is as yet undecided.
If the association should prefer him
to go around the world first he will
make the start from New York about
the first of January. He can obey his
own sweet will as to the trip, and can
put in anywhere from five months to
a year in his travels from Asheville
around the earth and back again. He
will go alone. Just imagine the time
Mr.. Nye will get out of trip like
that. His experiences, real and
imagined, will make millions laugh.
Mr.. Nye is now dyed in the wool
citizen of western North Carolina and
says he expects to live here all of his
life. He has a handsome residence
and rs acres of land near Mr.. Wander
bilt's Ito say nothing of a 400-foot well,
to draw from which, as he says, re-
quires so much effort that the ex-
hausted drawer must drink what
comes up in the bucket as soon as it
reaches the surface). The tract is
large enough for garden and a
patch of "hoss feed" and there, in
easy reach of Asheyille, and surround
ed by all the comforts of home,
Americas great humorist lives and
enjoys life. May he live to be one of
.'our Oldest citizens." .--Asheville, On.

at is very good for strength to
know that some one needs you to be
strong" Think of the pitifulness of
a life shorn of such needs, the empti-
ness of a heart that has not the
sweet task of urging itself onward
and upward for others sakes. We
are not meant to be thus set apart.
If in the course of nature the house
be left unto you desolate, the human
ties removed or severed, count on it
there is need elsewhere for you to
"be strong" Especially is this true
of woman to-day, when woman's war
is "on" against the forces that have
invaded and destroyed her sweet
seclusion. Drunkards' children, sui
cides' wives, criminals families,
saloons victims are crying to her on
every hand, for vain, indeed, had
been the help of men. Here is a
tonic for strength. Let US write it
on our walls that we may see it as
we pass in and out-"It is very good
for strength to know that some one
needs you to be strong"

1t is a remarkable coincidence that
all of these terrible fires in Northern
Wisconsin have occurred July q. 1t
was on July q, 1892, that Iron River
in the extreme northern part of Wis
consin, was totally wiped out by the
flames, and all the state responded
promptly to the call for aid. Fifield,
another saw mill town, was almost
totally wiped out by fire July 81, 1893,

The last republican state conyen-
tion decided to double the representa-
tion at future state conventions,
allowing one delegate for each 25O
republican voters, and one for major
fraction thereof. This will make the
next state convention about 800 dele
gates. 1t also decided that the future
calls for state conventions should be
published eight weeks, for county con-
,eaticns four weeks, and for town
caucuses ten days, thus giving all the
publicity and fairness possible.

We do not believe that DIR. Wash
ington GLADDEN. is mistaken in his
estimate when he frankly says:
"Until within the last few years,
the Christian churches of this
country in the distribution of what
they call their charities, have done
more harm than good. They have
found and relieved some cases of
actual want, and it would have been
a great pity if these cases had not
been found and relieved; but in do
ing this they have bred paupers by
the thousands; by their careless and
unquestioning doles they have paved
the way for whole families to enter
the steep and Shiny path of beggary."
In this, however, the church has not
been a sinner above others. Even
her mistaken charities are a proof
of the Christ love within her. But
it were a pity that all this zeal
should remain unused or misdirect-
ed. 1t is only necessary that the
church understand the question in
all its bearings to recognize her own
duty in the matter. The causes of
poverty which she seeks to relieve
are deeper seated than has thus far
been acknowledged. If the church
would permanently redeem the body
and the soul of the Individual, she
must also save the state. Her hand
must be on every human interest,
her influence pervade every depart
ment of life. We believe she will
ultimately rise to the full recogni-
ton of her privileges and duties.

A young farmer showed good judg-
ment in selling his oat crop at 2SA cents,
hauled directly from the thresher. 1t
was argued to him that oats were bound
to be higher. Every well, he replied,
''2SA cents is better now than 40 cents
would be next spring. Oats shrink a
good deal, the cost of hauling and stor.
age is considerable, besides the risk OF
fire to take. Then owe little and
the use of the money is worth some
thing" state Journal.

TanGus Falls, Nina. May 8..-TLe first
evidence Stat the town has seen of Cox
ey's army appeared to-day. About fif-
teen men with Il couple of flags were put
OFF Freight No. II, east bound. The men
boarded it at GAINESVILLE an6 an attempt
to put them of at Rothsay was futile. The
man in charge gives his name as Jehn
Wilson. He says that at one time he was
an engineer on the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific and ran out of Fergus.
He started from Butte. He is not a gem
cral, but simply an organizer. He stops
at various towns and get men who are out
of employment to join. AS soon as lie
gets enough for a command he leaves
the men and goes on and organizes an
other command" He says that $1,000
was contributed in the West to help along
the movement. He says that thus far
they have paid their way.
These various Commands" are going
to meet at St. Cloud, when they expect to
have $500 men, where a train will be se-
cnred to take them to Washington
Whenever one of the army gets work he
leaves it, and, Wilson is inlisting only un-
employed. Alexandria will be the next
station. He says that the men are not al
lowed to leave the camp singly and are
forbidden to "a into saloons or drink. He
will remain here over Sunday. He wants
to secure the city hall for a meeting, but
the mayor will not allow it.
