Government Reports the Prospects Good
for Excellent Crop.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE question
how much injury was caused by the
severe weather in May to peaches and
apples will be dealt with in a special
article in the June crop report which
will be issued by the ag ricultural dc
partment next week. The report Will
say: The first report of the season
relative to the condition of peaches is
decidedly more favorable than that re-
ceived in June, 1894. Only two states
of primary Importance have a low con-
dition, namely, Ohio, % per cent, and
Michigan, so per cent, while Mary
| land is the only remaining state with
! a per cent. less than 20, the condition
there being 60. Of the states of sec
ondary commercial Importance, name
| ly, North Carolina, Florida, Missouri,
/ Texas, Arkansas Tennessee, Ken
i lucky, Indiana and Illinois-three-
Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois--have
the lowest figures, IS, SO and So re-
spectively, while in the others per-
centages range from ~ in Missouri to
100 in Arizona. In 1894, thirteen out
| of the twenty-one states in the above
classes had percentages below TO-"
With reference to apples, the report
will say: 1.-THE general condition of
apples June is higher than ON the
same date in 1894. The New England
states, New York, Pennsylvania, Mich
| igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa
are important exceptions % this gener-
alization, and of these New Hampshire,
New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Iowa have percentages
disappointingly low. The frosts of
May have done much damage, although
as is usually the result, the orchards IL
favored situations, even in districts
suffering most, have apparently es-
capped injury. It is too early to deter
mine how great the damage from the
cold weather has been. Often the full
effects of such spell are only realized
after the excessive dropping of fruit in
June has left the orchards nearly bare.
AS the conditions stated June 1, how
ever, they indicate, except in states
above cited, crop running from good
to excellent"

New YORK, June 1h--R. G. Dun Il
Co.. Weekly Review of Trade says: 1t
is no longer a question whether bust
ness improves. Not for long time
have our reports from all parts of the
country been SO uniformly favorable.
The daily average of bank clearings in
June is 24.S per cent. larger than last
year, though il. 4 per cent less than in
1892. The most potent influence has
been receipt OF more favorable advices
regarding growing crops. Labor trou-
bles are getting out of the way, wages
In many esta bliShments are rising and
with the iron industry just now lead
ing, there is general improvement in
manufactures. Monetary condition also
helps. The time draws near when good
crop exports will bring gold hither
and though foreign operations in stocks
and bonds have been insignificant this
week, the effect of the previous
transactions has not been exhaust
ed. Much diminished receipts of
money from the interior Indicate
better employment in business, and
especially at the west, and the volume
of commercial loans steadily rise and is
now fair for this season even In a good
year. Western receipts for two weeks
of June were 3,116, $50 bushels wheat
against 1901, 2O2 last year, while At
lantic exports, flour included, were
only 2,634,s47, against 4,63O.227 last
year. Effects of the rise in prices were
seen in the official report of May ex-
ports, showing decrease of 1000, OOo
bushels from Atlantic. but an increase
of 100000 from Pacific in exports.
The price was reduced 219 in trading.
Corn also declined about 1,cent with
better reports of growth.
Failures for the past week have been

The bicycle the Modern Pegasus.

A bicycle is better than horse to
ninety-nine men and women out of a
hundred, because it costs almost moth
ing to keep, and it is never tired. It
will take one three times as far as
horse in the same number of DAYS or
weeks. In touring with a bicycle /
can make fifty miles day as comfort
ably as twenty miles on foot, ami I can
carry all the clothing need, besides
camera and other traps. The exercise
is as invigorating as walking, or more
so, with the great advantage that you
can get over uninteresting tracts of
country twice as fast as on foot. In
fact. as any bicyclist knows, walking
seems intolera bly, slow after tbs wheel;
even easy-going tourists, with women
in the party, can make forty nailes a
day, and find it play. Perhaps even
greater and more important than its
use as touring machine is the bicycle
as an everyday help to mechanics, fac
tory hands. clerks and all people who
live in or near small towns. Thanks
to this modern wonder, they can live
several miles away from their work,
thus getting cheaper rents an0 better
surroundings for their children; they
can save car fares and get healthful
exercise. For the unfortunate dweller
in cities it offers recreation after work.

would never walk to get out into the

A TRUST KILLED.

Blow 30 Great Monopoly.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 15.-The de-
cision of the Illinois supreme court
sustaining the lower court in judg-
ment of custer against the Distilling
& Cattle Feeding Co., will have the eff
feet OF breaking up the whisky trust.
The court holds that the trust is a
com bination in restraint of trade and
organized for the purpose of getting
control of the manufacture and sale of
all the distillery products, so as to
stife competition and dictate the
amount manufactured and prices at
which it should be sold, and that no
rational purpose for such an organiza-
ton can be shown. Twenty distiller-
les are represented in the trust, with a
daily capacity of IS, 900 bushels.
Attorney General Maloney expresses
the opinion that the Pullman Palace
Car Co. will meet with the same fate
when brought before the supreme
court.

THE GUNMAKER OF LION
Jefferson M. Clough Refuses a
Tempting Offer from the Chi
nese Government.
RIs Health Was Too Poor TO Permit At
tention to BusinesS-A Great Sufferer
for Many Years, But Has Now
(Frou the SprinofeId, Mass, Unton.)

(Frona the Springfield, Mass, Unt0n.)
There isn't a gun manufacturer in the
United States who does not know Jefferson
M. Clough, and why? Because he has been
intimately associated all his life with the
development of the two best American
rifles, the Remington and Winchester. For
years he was superintendent of the E. Rem
lngton & Sons great factory at 1liou, n. Y.
After leaving there he refused tempting
offer of the Chinese Government to go to
China to superintend their government fac
tories-and accepted instead the superin-
tendency of the Winchester-ArmsC Co., at
New Haven, at a salary of 1880 a year.
It was after this long term of active labor
as business man that he found himself in
capacitated for further service by the en-
barge which rheumatism had laid upon him
and resigned his position more than two
years ago, and returned to Belchertown,
Mass, where he now lives and owns the
Phelps farm, a retired spot where he has
five hundred acres of land.
Being man of means he did not spare
the cost and was treated by leading physi-
clans. and by baths at celebrated springs
without receiving any benefit worth notice.
During the summer of 1893 and the winter
of 1894 Mr.. Clough was confined to his house
in Belchertown, being unable to rise from
his bed without assistance, and suffering
continually With acute pains ana with no
taste or desire for food, nor was he able to
obtain sufficient sleep.
Early in the year 1894 Mr. Clough heard
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He began taking these pills about the first
of March 1894 and continued to do so until
the first part of September following. The
first effect noticed wasa better appetite and
he began to note more ability to help him
self off the bed and to be better generally
Last August 1884 he was able to go alone
to his summer residence and farm of 1853
acres on Grenadier Island, among the
Thousand Islands, in the river st. Law
renee, where from the highest land of his
farm he commands view for ID miles
down the river, and 60 of the Thousand
Islands can be seen.
Instead of being confined to his bed Mr..
Clough is now and has been for some time
able to be about the farm to direct the men
employed there and he is thankful for what
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have done for him.
These pills are manufactured by the DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady,
n. Y, and are sold only in boxes bearing
the firms trade mark and wrapper, at so
cents box or six boxes for $3.50, and are
never sold in bulk. They may be had of all
druggists or direct by mail from DR.. Will
Eams' Medicine Company.
