Weekly Weather-Crop Bulletin
July 8, 1895.

July 8. 1895.
The Missouri weather service, in its
weather-crop bulletin for the week
ending July 9Th, says:
Except in some of the northern and
eastern counties, the past week has
been cool, cloudy and very vet. Ths
mean temperature was about nor
NAL in the northeast section, but
elsewhere it ranged from 8 to 6 de-
grees below. Over the ex xtrems north
ern portion of the state the rainfall
was generally light and, except in .
few localities, threshing, CON plow-
ing and oat harvest have progressed
fairly well, but over most OF the CEN
trsl and southern conties the rainfall
for the week exceeded 2 inches and in
many localities over 4 inches 10 re-
ported. Farm work has been at q
standstill or has progressed very
slowly, and much damage has been
been done to wheat, fax, oats, corn
and hay. Very heavy downpours
occurred in portions Of Moniteau,
Cole. Morgan, Laclede, Pulaski,
Wayne, Shannon. Cedar and Camden
counties, causing foods which did
great dsmage to crops on bottom
lands.
A large part of the wheat crop 10
still in the shock and much Of it has
been seriously injured. Oats are
generally ready for cutting. but the
flelds are too wet for machines. In
q number of counties they are down
badly and some that are in shock are
considerably damaged. Flax has
also been damaged by wind and
rain.
Corn, as rule, is getting too large
for further cultivation and in some
districts IL very weedy. Chinch-bugs
are still working on it in places and
in some counties have done great
damage, but in the central and south
ern sections their ravages have been.
checked by the heavy rains. In a few
localities it has been badly blown
down. On the whole, however, the
prospect for the crop is excellent.
Grasses continue tn grow rapidly,
pastures are good aud water plenty.
Gardens and tobacco plants are
doing well.

HE SHOT TO KILL.
Tim Kellogg Shoots John Ward
with Serious Effect at an Ear
Iy Hour Last Friday
Morning.
WARD Is STILL ALIVE.

There was no celebration OF the
glorious 4th, In Ksytesville, during
the hours OF light. Many OF otr eiti-
xsns went to other places to swell ths
Lists Of patriots among those who
did celebrate. Not Wishing the occa-
sion to pass by without some sort oi
observance, some OF our young men
concluded to illumins the hours OF
darkaess by making q pyrotschnie
display. The friEg ofanvils and the
sending up Of sky rockets. and the
bursting Of fire-crackers mSde every
thing go "merry as q marriage bell"

tween Tin Kellogg and John Ward,
the particulars OF which we have new
or learned, and which We do not care
to publish till the testimony shall
have been given in at the preliminary
trial which, we understand, will be had
before Squire Singleton tomorrow.

first began q knife was drawn by
Ward and that a pistol was drawn
by Kellogg; that friends interfered.
and peace, as they thought, was re-
stored. A short time afserward the
difficulty was renewed when, it 10
said, Kellogg fred seven shots at
Ward, only one OF which took effect.
The ball entered the back, cutting OF
the lower end OF the left shoulder
blade. passed through one lung and
lodged somewhere in the right side.
Ward WAS taken TO the office OF DIR.
Downing and subsequently, to the
home OF his brother, James. where he
still is. Doctor Downing was called
to attend him and relieved his suffer-
ings as much as possible. Drs.
Downing and Dewey examined
Wards injuries on Friday morning,
and regard the wound, though dan
gsrous, not necessarily fatal. The
doctors say he is still doing as well
as could be expected and that pros
pects for his recovery are good.
Squire Singleton, at the instie a.
ton of Clark Ward, Johns

The Tomb.

GAINEs:-CharIes Glenn Gaines. son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Gaines, OF Trip
lett, was born Nov. 4th, 1898, and
died July 2nd, 1895. He was first
taken with the fux, soon
the brain became involved
and then all hope Of reeov-
cry was given up; however, all that
loving hands and medical skill could
do was done. All availed nothing,
for it seemed that the God who gave
him desired to take him to that
home on high. He seemed to be
something more than ordinary 40
shown by the attachment Of relatives
and friends. The parents, who feel 90
keenly this loss, have the warmest
sympathy of this whole community.
We only hope that as our minds fol-
low our little friend to his home
among the angels of God that our
whole lives may be changed so as to
more and more make us suitable per-
sons for his society in that other
land.

THE UNDERWRITERS.
The State Board VIII Maintain Rates in
Montana,

Butte, May 31.-The State Insurance
Underwriters have obtained the per-
mission Of the general agents to main
tain rates in Montana, and that fact
will effectually settle all further scare
about a local insurance rate war and
also indicates that the trouble which
has agitated the insurance field on the
coast for some months has about re-
turned to it's normal condition again.
The San Francisco Chronicle has the
following concerning the visit of the
Montana agents:
The Fire Insurance Underwriters
from Butte, Helena and Great Falls.
who We're in this city last week endeav-
oring to obtain from their general
agents the authority to form a state
board in Montana for the maintenance
of rates. were successful In their mis-
sion. The general agents have given
their consent to the organization in
Montana of n home board. which shall
control all fire rates I'm that state. The
Montana business is in a comparatively
good condition, for which reason the
general agents were not very reluct-
ant to accede to the requests of the
local agents. who came to San Fran
cisco to urge the formation of the new
board.
Underwriters boards have also been
formed at Astoria. Tacoma and Seattle
for the control and protection OF the
IRE lllSuIdItt DuSlntSS OF w dSilllklbH.
These boards will act in accord with
the Board of Underwriters of the Pa
citic as far as possible, and will write
only schedule rates on all business in
the Northern territory. Portland has a
local board. which attends to all the
business of that city. The situation in
San Francisco i'm the fire insurance
business is now less strained than il
has been since the board was forced by
Withdrawals and cuts on the street to
throw up its hands and release it's
members from the pledge to maintain
rates. The lull i'm the struggle arises
from the fact that nearly all available
business has been written and most Of
the general agencies have about as
many risks on their books as they want
to carry. 1t has also been discovered
that the personal animosities. which.
in n great measure. were responsible
for the split in the local board, cannot
be avenged on business rivals with due
regard for the premium account of the
knife-wielder. The furry in the insur-
ance world Is. therefore, almost over.
and affairs are slowly working back to
a normal condition
