Oklahoma City, o. T, Sept. 4.-(Spec-
iaL)-Following is weather crop bulle-
tin No. %, of the Oklahoma weather
crop service, for the week ending Sept.

growth of cotton. Ghe only crop that
is not made, the maturing of corn,
broom corn. caffir, maize, all forage
crops and large vegetables.
The normal temperature for the
week is I'll; the average is III, 0.6 of
a degree below normal.
The days were almost invariably
warm and clear, giving plenty of sum
shine. Light showers occurred on Sat-
urday and Sunday. sufficient TO keep
the ground moist and in excellent con-
dition for blowing.
The total amount Of rainfall for the
week was considerably below the nor
NAL in many places, but the very heavy
rains on the 24th and 18th of last week
made the ground wet, and this week
closes with the ground in good condi-
ton and no rain needed. The wealth
er conditions during the entire month of
August were of the very best, the aver
age temperature, 79.1 degree, was but
0.3 of a degree daily below the normal;
the sunshine was normal. and the total
rainfall, 4.44 inches, was 1.2S inches

Stole q Mule.

A boy named Watson, OF Johnson
City, decided one day last week that
he wanted to do something and he did,
but was sorry for it afterward. He
stole from the hitching place in John
son City mule belonging 10 Mr..
Cash, of Sullivan county, and rode off.
He came through this place and just
about two miles below town he met
with ]. A. FEBRUARY and proposed to
sell him the mule for the sum OF fifty
dollars, but Mr.. FEBRUARY did not want
the mule, so the boy finally said he
was broke and would sell the mule for
twenty-five dollars. Mr.. FEBRUARY
suspicioned that the boy had stolen
the mule 30 hepursuaded the boy
come back to town with him on It.,
pretext of finding him buyer. When
they came to town the sheriff was in,
formed OF the fact and he immediately
arrested the boy on suspicion. A
preliminary hearing was heard before
s. s. Kirkpatrick, Esq, and the boy
was sent to Jail in default of ball.

WANTED...A FOOL KILLER.
PeCuniary Aid Solicited BY Fathers Of
Twins and Triplets.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Eyer since
some wag put afoat the story that the
President had given sum OF money
to the parents OF twins or triplets, the
white house mail has been filled with
letters Of application on that score and
it is estimated that at least $4,000 a
day might be disbursed there at the
rate oi$500 to each applicant. A sample
of the kind Of letters that come in the
mail to the President is the following,
which was sent by man in Texas;
"Mr. President Cleveland:
"Dedr SRI see you are giving
$500 TO- twins. Please send me 800
right away for am going to get mar
ried this week to girl that is a twin.
| come from twin getting stock, so
you will see that there is no risk to be
run and when my wife has twins l
will draw on you for the balance. l
need the money to start housekeeping
with, / am in good health and so is
the girl am going to marry. have
always been Democrat. | voted for
you the first time and will vote for
you again and name the twins after
you. Don't disappoint mo for l may
have to get married sooner"
In another case woman writes that
she has failed, after waiting a year, to
get that $500 the Presiden. is aid to
give the parents of tliplets, and now
sb J, is willing to compromise on the
basis of the money for the first pair vi
pants for her little Cleveland.
The clerks at the white house do not
permit any OF these illusions to reach
the President, and they are not even
dignifed with an answer. now that
they have become 80 numerous and
annoying, for of course there is not q
word of truth in the story that the
President has ever bestowed such
bounties.

GRESHAM DEAD.
The Secretary Of State Died at l:15
Tuesday Morning.

Auesuuy MOTuluSs
WASHINGTON, May 28.-Secretary OF
State Walter Q. Gresham died at is
O'Clock this morning at his rooms at
the Arlington hotel. All hope OF his
recovery was practically abandoned
when his sinking spell occurred short.
ly before 6 o'clock last evening. The
most powerful heart stimulants known
to medical science, nitro glycerine and
digitalis, were injected periodically
and an infusion OF normal saline solu
ton was made through an opened vein
in the arm. He recovered slightly. but
owing to severe rigors shortly before
II O'Clock he began to fail rapidly and
his vitality began to ebb. The three
physicians saw that the end was near,
and at 12 o'clock withdrew to the
anteroom, leaving in the sick cham.
Der only the members OF the family,
Mrs. Gresham, her daughter, Mrs.
Andrews, and son in law Mr.. Andrews,
and the nurses.
Up to that time he had been con.
scious and talked at intervals. His
words were full of bravery. He fully
appreciated his conditic n and spoke
words OF hope and cheer to his strick'
cned wife and daughter Some times
his mind wandered slightly and went
back to the days OF long ago, recalling
incidents of love and happiness in the
springtime of his life. He spoke too
OF his absent son and his private Sec
rotary, Mr., lands, whom he loved al
a son, and who like his son was speed
ing to his bedside, all too late. But
just before the physicians retired hi
ceased speaking, though he appeared
to be conscious.
Mrs. Gresham sat at the bedsid,
smoothing his fevered brow and oc
casionally reading to him from Biol,
passages which he loved. AS the emf
approached his pulse became hardl,
, perceptible. Gradually his eyes glaz
] ed and closed. But Mrs. Gresham
with noble and heroic fortitude, con
tinued to read the words of the gospe
to her departing husband. He

bowed heads at the side of the couch
