SERIOUSLY ILL.-We regret to
learn of the serious illness which has
afflicted DR.. G. p. Morrison and his
youngest child. The doctor had a
slight stroke of paralysis last week,
in the absence of his family who were
visiting Mrs. Morrson's parents in
Clarke county. The news came
both ways OF the sickness of the child
and that of the doctor at home. In
his effort to 60 to his little one the
doctor unmindful OF lis own illness
attempted going there and increased
the precariousness of his own situa-
ton. Mrs. Morrison and children
have returned, and the family are all
at home but under the sad circum-
stances of both father and child re-
naming seriously i'll. We tender
our sympathy, and trust that both
may grow much better, and very
rapidly.

WEATHER-CRoP BULLETIN FOR THE
WEEK ENDING MONDAY, July o.
The weather during the past week
has been very favorable to the grow
ing crops and afforded excellent OPP
portunity for harvesting the hay and
oat crop. Many days were moist
and sultry making the days almost
unbearably hot, but giving most ex-
cellent growing weather. No gener.
al rainfall occurred during the week,
but showers were frequent during
the last few days, and there is now
no urgent need of rainfall. Hay
making and the harvesting of oats
has been general during the past
week and the hot, sunshiny weather
has given the farmers excellent OPP
portunity for this work. Both these
crops are light, taking the state as a
whole. Corn is growing rapidly in
all sections and all correspondents
speak very hopefully of the prospects
of a good yield. The crop is coming
into tassel and has good rich color,
though the stand is irregular in =
great many fields. The correspond
ents say that the present outlook
for a good yield of corn Is
better than was at one time
thought possible, the crop having
suffered so much In its early stages
from unfavorable weather and in.
sects. Wheat threshing continues
A good many correspondents say the
yield is better than for several years
past. This crop has been singularly
free from unfavorable influences and
is by far the best crop of the year
Gardens and root crops are doing
well. Melons and berries are not Sc
good. The condition of the fruit
crop has not changed much. and sp
pies are said to be small in size ant
still continue to fall from the trees
Late pastures are starting up ant
promise plenty of grass.

LEASES AND VALUATIONS
Information on Them Desired
by the Railroad Com
mission.
THEIR QUEST UNFRUITFUL
No Dividends by the Southern
Pacific, but Its Stockholders
Are Content.

1t was another bad day for the Southern
Pacific Company yesterday in the inyesti-
cation of its financial affairs by the Rail-
road Commission in connection with the
consideration of the La Rue resolution
providing for horizontal reduction of Is
per cent on all grain rates within the
State. Several questions were propounded
by the commission which the railroads
representatives evidently felt compelled to
evade or to refuse to answer. A fat
adeclination was made to state the salary
of President Huntington, and no DISPOSE
ton was shown to supply the commission
with the valuations of the various railroad
properties, nor to give the terms of the
leases existing between the Southern Pa
ciic Company and the roads that it op-
crates and controls. The commission also
found it impossible to get an explanation
OF the situation which permitted the leased
roads to make profit while the Southern
EPacific had never, since its incorporation
En 1885. declared dividend. It did learn,
khowever, that the stockholders of the
fleased roads were also stockholders of the
Southern Pacific Company.
Secretary Lansing of the Southern Pacific
Company resumed his testimony on the
Financial status of the company when the
session of the Railroad Commission began
yesterday morning. He read statement
showing the passenger traffic over the
5aines of the company during 1892, 1895 and
1884, as follows:

CHARLIE KAIN'S CASE.
The Boy Who Lost Part of His Skull
Improving Rapidly.


Charles Kahn, the 15-year-old boy, whose
case has attracted the attention of the
medical profession, was removed from the
hospital in the ambulance to his father s
residence, 249O Market street, yesterday
afternoon.
The boy had his skull fractured by a
runaway horse in Golden Gate Park on
Sunday, August Is. A piece of his skull,
four inches square, had to be removed, and
quantity of brain matter was lost. Drs.
We'll, Thomson and Fitzgibbon operated
upon him, but from the nature of his in
juries they did not expect he would live
many hours. He is still alive and has been
physically getting stronger every day.
Unfortunately he has almost entirely lost
the power of speech, owing to the loss of a
portion of his brain matter, but he will re-
gain it, as the power is expected to develop
in another portion of his brain in time
He is fully conscious and understands
what is said to him:

Mr. Smurr called attention to COM
munication which had been sent to the
commission asserting that there had been
a drop in ocean rates of 81 so within the
last,thirty DAYS and prospect of further
reduction of 81 so before January l next
and presented IN refutation some rates
presented in shipments reported at the San
Francisco Produce Exchange in August
He did not know whether they were recent
charters, but asked to file the statement
with the commission. 1t was received
and filed.
Attorney Martin Intercepted Mr.. Smurr
for the purpose of corroborating Mr..
Lansing's statement that the cost of trans
porting ton of grain per mile could not
be computed. The same ideas were
presented by Mr.. Smurr and Mr.. Martin
in lengthy discussion which occupied the
remainder of the afternoon.
Barnaby Dougherty was on hand with a
question as to the difference in the cost of
hauling -four and wheat, and he was an
swered by the statement that as flour was
the more valuable commodity it cost more.
Denis Kearney, with the wage question
on his mind, wanted to know if the loss by
the 15 per cent reduction would not be
made up out of the wages OF the working
railroad men. He was informed that the
$500 900 loss to the company would have to
be made up somehow.
Don't dodge the wage question: said
Mr.. Kearney, and Mr.. Smurr told him that
the testimony so far given showed that the
payroll was the only flexible item, but that
it wouldn't affect the price of his bread, as
suggested by Mr.. La Rue, as it would the
