MUCH DAMAGE ILLINOIS
Fruit and Berry Crops Generally Reported
Very Badly Nipped.

JACKSONVILLE. May ia hard frost
prevailed here and incalculable damage
was done; everything that could freeze
caught it badly, and the hopes of the
farmers and gardeners are much de-
pressed. Corn was well along, and many
fields had been cultivated once and these
will, many of them, have to be replantcd,
while that which was up is cut down to
the ground. but may sprout again.
PEORIA. May ia heavy frost in this
section did enormous damage. At tho
city market house all reports agree that
grapes are all gone, and SO are vegetables
like beans, lettuce. peas, and new pota-
toes. There Is not grape left, 1t is said,
and prospects were never better for a
large crop. All small fruits were badly
damaged. One gardener bad 3, 900 tomato
plants nearly ready to bloom, and an
other had 1900 in bloom. These were all
killed.
PRINCETON, May I5.-Corn, fruit and n
large part of the garden crops were de-
stroyed by a killing frost. Ice one-eighth
of an inch in thickness was formed.
Grape vines were killed and cherries will
be but onc-third of a crop. 1t was the
most destructive freeze in years.
MowEAQUA. May 1a.-Heavy frost de-
stroyed the fruit and berry crop in this
section. Potatoes, grapes and gardens
blackened to the ground.
PANA, May l5-There was heavy kill
ing frost here. Extent of damage to fruit
crop, which was very promising, is un-
known
ALBION. May I5.-The mercury stood
at j. here yesterday and ice formed over
all exposed water. Garden truck and
small fruit suffered severely, but it is
hoped that apples and peaches are not
much damaged.

NOT AS GREAT AS EXPECTED.
The Damage to Fruits and Vegetables In
Wisconsin.

MILWAUKEE, May l5.-Late advices in
dictate that while there has been some
damage done to fruit and vegetables in
the southern portion of the state by the
frost, it is not as great as expected, the
high winds and cloudy weather warding
off frost in many portions. Taking all
things into consideration with the
prospects Of a return OF the warm
weather the outlook Is still decidedly IA
vorable for a bountiful harvest. The
weather crop bulletin, issued from the
Milwaukee weather bureau, says: In the
extreme northern counties the ground
froze and ice formed about half an inch
thick. The damage has been considerable
in all sections, but the injury to fruit and
grain is greatest in the central and north
ern portions Grapes and apples arc re-
ported killed.
Small fruit is greatly damaged in the
southern part of the state, while in the
northern portion IL Is very generally
killed. Vegetables in many sections OF
the state have been killed and gardens
will have to be replanted. Corn, where
up. has been ripped by frost. The dam
age done to growing crops is mostly from
downpours Of rain. which were quite

FARMERS TALK AsoUT THE FROST
Hass Hope for the Fruit. but Are Ready to
Borrow Trouble.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, May 15-Rep-e-
sentative farmers and fruit growers from
Kent, Ottawa and Muskegon counties,
who attended meeting of the West Mich
igan Farmers club here, were unanimous
in the statement that SO far fruit has not
been injured by frost anywhere in tho
fruit belt south Of the Muskegen river,
though all Were more or less sposed to
borrow trouble for the future The sun
came out bright and clear during the
afternoon, but the temperature did not
rise perceptibly and they went hcme ex-
pecting a heavy frost during the night.
After sundown, however, the sky was
slightly overcast and telephone messages
from points in the peach belt showed
that the clouds extend north over thu
Oceana county orchards to Pentwater.
Reports from the Grand traverse region
say that peaches and plums have been
injured, but further damage is not ex-
pected.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 15.-State Labor
Commissioner Bird has just returned
from Scranton, Usage county, where he
had been sent to investigate reports of
suffering among coal miners on account OF
enforced idleness.--He declares that the
condition of some Of the men and their
families is deplorable. OF the 400 miners
in and about Scranton 40 have had no
work for six weeks to two months and
others are doing the work of twenty live,
getting from So to $40 week. The cause
of il all is, of course lack of demand for
coal. The idle men have tried to get
work on the farms or in other avocations,
but the labor market is oveIstocked.

made preliminary arrangements for the
state convention to be held June b. A
list of temporary officers was selected,
but it will not be made public until the
day OF the convention. The railroads

attending. Three county committees
those of Lee, Dupagc, and 81. Clair-have

Effect of the snap IN Nebraska.

in view Of the rapidity With which farm
ers are replanting those patches destroyed.
No other damage is noticeable except in
the way of fruit. Many orchards are
blasted. The damags in this line will
probably be one-third of the entire crop.
On the whole, Ncbraska's crop prospects
were never SO satisfactory as ut present.

CHICAGO, May 15-"The frost area to-
day lyesterdayl," said the autocrat OF
theHyeathe- bureau. while not as ex.
tensive as that Of Sunday, approximately
covers the region forcasted yesterday.
The territory in possession this morning
OF the frigid wave extends from northern
Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin to
southern Illinois, Indiana and northern
Ohio. Kentucky and Missouri A portion
OF Iowa is also in the clutch Of the Frost
King. Colorado, North and South Dakota,
Kansas and Nebraska are, however, once
again experiencing normal weather con-
ditions. The following readings of the
thermometer, taken at 6 o'clock this
morning. best tell the tale: Marquette,
Mich, 2s; Green Bay, Wis, 30; Lacrosse,
Wis, 80, Grand Haven, Mich, 32; Port

Michigan in Very Hard Luck.
Michigan was particularly unfortu-
nate in encountering every phase of the
storm, being n prey to frost. wind and
! snow alike. The peach belt experienced a
freezing temperature with considerable
snow as an accompaniment throughout
its entire extent. In Chicago the mer-
curry at o'clock this morning fell to 3,
degrees, and my observer at Windsor
Park reports ice on the ponds out there
The damage caused by the frost to veye-
tation is scarcely expressed by the above
figures. The public have n general i'm
preston that 81 degrees is the limit of
danger. Such is not the case with plant
life. The isothermal line of 40 degrees
is nearer the mark. Under the influence
OF q clear sky the temperature of vegeta-
tion loses heat by radiation faster than
does the air.
Eject of Frost on Plants.
"Unless there is a high wind blowing the
temperature of the vegetable growths will
rule to 10 degrees below that of the air
five feet above the earth. In the case Of
most frosts injurious to vegetation the
aqueous vapor is CONCEALED upon the
plants by the low temperature OF the
plants themselves and not necessarily by
that OF the air.
''Thc damage done TO small fruit and
truck farms by the recent frosts cannot
but be severe. Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Iowa haro each been SUBJ
jccted to freezing conditions for several
nights in succession. l am thankful tho
cruel visitation is now passing away. To-
morrow We shall once again bask in n
temperature approaching the seventies,
though we may have an occasional
shower to damper our enthuiasm."

This action is entirely opposed to what
members of the board gave out after Sat.
urday's meeting on the demand for an
increase made by the furnacemen at tho
Edgar Thomson furnace 1t is claimed,
however, that Frick cabled to Andrew
Carnegie in England, and that the increase
was first suggested by Carnegie. 1t is
not known what effect this action will
have on the fight of the Amalgamated
association in other mills. Outside man.
ufacturers claim that in many instances
the Carnegie scale is 90 per cent. lower
than the Amalgamated scale, but this
cannot be determined accurately by rea.
son Of the fact that the improved machin.
cry of the Carnegie company's mills gives
the men much greater earning power than
in other mills. This is the first advance
since the reduction of 1892.
