Weekly Weather-Crop Bulletin
g,s July 80. 1895.

The following lie q synopsis of the
wsathsr-crop bulletin issued by the
Missouri weather service for the
week ending July 9th:
Except in portions of the eastern
section the Msather during the pest
the farmer than for some weeks pre-
vious. The mean temperature was
slightly above the normal in the CEN
tral section, but elsewhere there was
an average deficiency of from 2 to 4
degrees per day. Over a number of
the eastern counties the rainfall for
the week exceeded 2 inches, but over
the remainder of the state it Was
generally lees than .25 inch, except
in the southern counties, were it ran
ged from so to 1.25 inches. Late re-
ports. however, indicate that very
heavy showers occurred in some local
tiles in the central and western Sec
tions on the 2Sth.
In many of the northeastern, east
CEN traI and southeastern counties
the weather continued damp and
showery and harvest and haying have
progressed very slowly; further dam.
age has been done to grain in shock
aud corn and cotton are being injured
in some localities by too much rain.
Over the balance of the state, thresh-
ing, stacking and haying have pro.
gressed rapidly under favorable con.
ditions and this work is now nearing
completion.
Oats have yielded well, a. q rule,
but in many counties have been dam
aged to greater or less extent by
the wee weather.
Corn continues in excellent con-
dition, generally, though in some
districts it has become very grassy
and wesdy. But little damage by
chinch-bugs is reported.
Flax 10 about all cut and 10 q good
crop.
Hay has been considerably dam
aged by rain in some sections, but
on the whole the crop 10 better than
expected and in some localities is re-
ported up to the average. Pastures
are good and the second crop OF clo-
yer promises well.
Sorghum, millet, tobacco, castor
beans, late potatoes and garden veg
etablss are generally doing we'll, and
fruits continue in good condition,
with the exception of grapes, which
are still rotting badly in some local
ities.
Turnips are being sown in the
southern counties, and fall blowing
has commenced.

stated the vote as taken in that eau

THE BIG HAT NUISANCE.

Some Things Being Done to Abate it and
 Others that Might Better be Tried.
 From the Indianapolis Journall
 The theatregoers of Carthage, Mo, who are preparing a bill for their state legislature, making 1t a misdemeanor for ladies attending the theatre to wear big hats will have the sympathy of all other theatregoers, but to the Pickings man 1t seems as If they are working on the wrong track. The only way to
 fight the big hat nuisance is to enlist women in the warfare. Get the leaders of fashion to promise never to wear a big hat at an entertainment to go bear headed or to wear the small bandeaux which are now the most stylish things for theatre wear. Get the milliners great and small to coneoct dainty wreaths of flowers and small bows for evening wear, and to advertise that no other style of headgear is fashionable for evening wear. Women always want to be on the popular side and the few women who find themselves wearing large hats to the theatre will soon take them off if on looking around they see other women bareheaded. Nothing is so becoming to a woman as her becom- ingly arranged coiffure, with the hand some pins and combs that are now worn, Then, my fellow men, there is way in which you may aid in encourage Ing your wives, daughters, sisters. and mothers to discard their hats. Take home a tinv 6piDtV eyeDiuo Toppat a e a surprise. Or if you are afraid to se- lect, give her the money and tell her 1t is for an evening bonnet. You may have to sacrifice a few cigars. etc.. but you are aiding a noble cause. Another way in which society men may aid is to wear their dress suits to the theatre.

hat adds good deal to the devilish- ness of the situation. That much can be done against the big theatre hat by legislation may be doubtful but appeal and ridicule have been tried and they have not done much. Why cannot lovely Woman attend to the matter herself without being either unduly urged or forced to? If she will not and if law will not make her we must begin at the beginning. The evils caused by the big theatre hat and the benefits of it's abolition must form a part of the education of all girls, both in the public and the pri- vate schools. Then in the course of time a generation will live which will not know the big theatre hat. In that day there will be much less profanity and fiendish rage than in this.

THE BIC rHEArHE HIT

It is a singular fact that the move- ment to abolish the big theatre hat by law should start away out in Mis- souri, but it did. It appears to have made long jump from that place and now makes itself manifest in New York. A bill has been introduced into the New York legislature which pro- vides that any person having bought a ticket to public entertainment, and finding the view obstructed from his seat, shall have the right to demand the return of his money if the nuisance is not abated, the fine for failure to return the cash being four times the cost of the ticket
 This bsll is pretty sweeping. A small man might sit behind large man or a large woman and his view be obstructed by the body of the one in front of him. But it means well. It is aimed at one of the biggest and most annoying nuisances of modern life. It is exceedingly aggravating to pay a high price for a seat and then spend the whole evening trying to get glimpses of the stage around, under or over a big hat And the utter in- difference of the Wearer of the big

DEMOCRATIC FIY,INCIEBIYG.


 On December 5, 1894, the treasury of the United States had 1,142, O2O of free gold. Now it has only about half that sum. This shows what can be done in a country which has not even a tariff for revenue and which has a govern ment that is incompetent to govern.
 Probably there will be more of what the New York Sun called bond sales for revenue" Something must be done. Probably all that win be done will be to borrow money enough to keep the country going until the Democratic con- gress can drop responsibility and go home. But what an opportunity the Democratic party has. Having devised and put in operation tariff scheme that doesn't bring in revenue enough to pay the expenses of the government what fine reputation that party could make if it could show now that it is competent to deal with the situation it has created. But there are no signs that it feels competent or has any dis position to try to show itself so. There is only another month left for this con gress to work or loaf in, and then the awkward and difficult task of bringing order out of the financial chaos can be turned over to a Republican congress. In the meantime the country will, we suppose, have to rely on it's credit and keep borrowing.
