ESPECIAL TO THE FRESS
North Conway, Aug. 30.-A band of
clever pickpockets reaped a rich harvest
among the crowds at the coaching parade
| in this town today. At about noon Mrs.
J. w. Dyer of Portland took out her
pocketbook to pay for special seat on
the Kearsarge piazza. She noticed a man
looking at her. Soon after she noticed
that this man or some other had had the
extraordinary skill to find the pocket in
the skirt of her dress and abstracted d thore
from her pocketbook. The loss was not
large.
At about 8. p. M, at least three, and
probably more, pockets were picked III
the crowd of people at the station. Mr.
Cyrus Cushman of Boston, a middle aged
man, got on to the end OF car that Was
just moving away. There was such a
crowd of men On the steps that his wife
and child couldn't get on. AS the train
moved away, in plain view OF everybody,
number of young men crowded around
Mr.. Cushman on the platform. one OF
them, apparently tried TO get by him and
arm, so that his arm was raised up above
his head. The others crowded SO close
that Mr.. Cushman could do nothing.
When he got free he found that his pock-
etbook was taken from his trousers pock-

and Mr. Cushman searched in the crowd
He caused the arrest OF man whom he
said he recognized, but after the man
was locked up in the "coolor' close by,
no money was found on him and moth
ing could be proved against him.
Mr. Z. D. Walker Of East Brownfleld
at about the same time had his pocket
book taken from his inside vest pocket.
1t contained $65 in money and over 81, 900
worth of small notes
An Old Orchard woman lost her pocket
book from her satchel. 1t contained $40
in money, three railroad tickets of New
York companies and several gold pieces.
Mr. Tuell of Bethel lost his pocketbook
at the station, with $50 in it.
Coming down in the train a man from
Cornish said to those in the seat with
him that since there was SO much pick
pocketing he guessed he'd see if his mon
ey was all right. He felt and found his
pocketbook gone. There was $6 in it

altogether. The members are in
sured by numbers in the sum Of
81 800, each, and in case of death
the beneficiaries mentioned in the
policy get $1,000 while two of the
living members get $500 each.
The first OF these is the one whose
number precedes the dead member's
and the second the one whose num-
ber follows that of the dead member.
Thus it will be seen that one taking
insurance in the Triple alliance does
not necessarily have to die in order

Weekly weather-Crop Bulletin.
May 2sth. 1895.

The following is a summary OF the
weather-crop bulletin issued by the
Missouri weather service for the
week ending May 25th. The past
week has been cold and in many SEC
tions OF the state dry-very unfavor'
able to crops. In the southwest Sec
tion the mean temperature OF the
week was about 10 degrees below the
normal and in the other sections it
ranged from 5 to 8 degrees below.
Frost occurred on several dates nip
ping corn. beans, sweet potatoes
and other tender plants on low
ground in some localities.
Over few OF the eastern, central
and southwestern counties the rain
fall exceeded one inch and in some To-
calities in the west central counties it
exceeded three inches, but over the
greater portion OF the state it was
less than one-fourtb of an inch,
msoy correspondents reporting no
rain during the week. Stock water
Is scarce in many counties.
Corn has remained nearly at a
standstill, but ia regaining it's color,
10 generally clean and in good con-
dition for rapid growth with rain
and warmer weather. Cut-worms
are still doing considerable damage
to both corn and gardens and much
damage by moles is reported from
some OF the southern counties.
The prospects for the wheat crop
are much less encouraging than last
week. In some OF the southern, CEN
tral and northeastern counties it is
reported as looking well, but over a
considerable portion OF the state the
crop has been cut short ons-half by
the dry weather, chinch-bugs and
Hessian hy. In some of the eastern
counties much wheat was killed by
the frosts of the 14th. Oats have
also suffered severely from the
drouth and in many of the western
counties will be but light crop.
Grasses are reported good in some
counties, put as q rule are short,
and in some OF the western counties
meadows are being pastured. Glow
er cutting has commenced in the
southern sections.
Potatoes are generally looking
well though needing rain.
Fruit continues to fall of badly In
some sections ss result OF the frost
and low temperature.

death of the mare he again went to
Clifton Hill last Saturday and had
the Hackley maidstone applied to
his wound inflicted by the mad-dog
last November, and the stone again
stuck closely 10 the woun1 for about
two hours.
Spencer Clark, 1O-year-old son
of Reubin Clark of near Guthridge

neighborhood in November last, but
the Stevenson dog is still living,
notwithstanding it ''showed evi-

the boy.
Spencer Clark was also sent to the
Hackley mad stone which stuck
tight and fast to the wound.
Spencer accompanied young Nc

when the stone proceeded "to get it's

fore it refused To adhere.
