WEATHER AND CROP BULLETIN.
West Virginia Weather Report for the
Week Ending July 22nd.
THE WEATHER

AAih hfAAhEhs
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
oats crops. The temperature was
above ths normal nearly every day,
averaging at Parkersburg about
four degrees per day above the nor
NAL; and on six days of the week the
temperature rose to 80 degrees or
above. Maximum temperatures of
50 were recorded on the 10Th and
goth. Many days were moist and
sultry making the days almost un.
bearably hot, but giving most excel
lent growing weather No general
rainfall occurred during the week,
but showers were frequent during
the last few days, and there is now
no urgent need of rainfall. The
heavy showers at the close of last
week caused washouts in some sec
tions, but no serious damage has
been reported More than the usual
amount of sunshine was received
Notwithstanding the fact that on
several days the sky was overcast
with smoke.
EFFECT ON THE CROPS.
Hay making and the harvesting OF
oats have been general during the
past week and the hot, sunshiny
weather has given the farmers excel
lent opportunity for this work. Both
these crops are light, taking the state
as whole. In many sections the
reports show a good yield Of both,
but most correspondents say they
are light.
Corn is growing rapidly in all sec
tions and all correspondents speak
very hopefully of the prospects of a
good yield. Some fields were badly
blown down during the thunder
storms of this and last week, but the
damage does not seem to have been
very great or extensive. The crop is
coming into tassel and has good,
rich color, though the stand is irreg
gular in a great many fields. The
correspondents say that the present
outlook for a good yield of corn is
better than was at one time thought
possible, the crop having suffered SC
much in its early stages from unfa
vorable weather and insects In some
sections the crop has been attacked
by einch bugs, which come from the
wheat fields after harvest, but the
damage seems to be local and not
very great.
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.
Garden and root crops ara doing
well. Melons and berries are no SC
good.
Late pastures are starting up and
promise plenty of grass.

The Benefit Concert.

The Benefit Concert given at the
nj. ?. church by the Mingo and
Woodland Brass bands was one Of
the finest musical treats ever enjoy
ed by Morgantown people and de
served a better attendance. The
crowd though small was an appreci
ative one and the instrumental and
vocal music was of the highest or
der, in fact, the best that has ever
been heard here. The violin and
mandolin solos by George Eyansor
were superbly rendered and those
who missed hearing them missed
a rare treat. Mr.. Evanson has de
voted several years to the study and
teaching of music in Philadelphia
and is by far the finest musician
that this section has ever produced
The Gypsy recitation by Miss Mol
lie Sterling, daughter of DR.. A. w
Sterling, of Palatine, captivated hel
hearers and she will no doubt BIZ
called upon in the future to assist
az hhOi dhbOWh cubSI IdluUUeQb Us
Following is the program that was
given. Woodland Band; Miss Mary
Hayes, vocal solo; S. S. Orches
ira; Misses Emily and Louise Far
row, violin duet; Mr.. L. Cox, bass
horn solo; Miss Mary Mestrezat
recitation, Mingo Band; Geo. Evan
son, violin solo; John Hoffman, bari
tone solo, Will Hayes bass solo
Woodland Band; Miss Mollie Ster
ling, recitation; S. S.Orchestra; Geo
Evanson, mandolin solo; Minge
Band. Miss Blanche Wood presid
ed at the piano. Owing to lack O
space we can not mention each O
the performances but suffice to say
that all who took part in the concer
deserve special praise.

County Superintendent
w. S. Guffey In Town.

w. S. Guffey, the Pittsburg mil.
lionaire oil operator, was in town
last week the guest of the Wallace
House. Mr.. Guffey spent several
days at Mont Chateau on Cheat and
looked over the proposed route Of
the Cheat River railroad of which
he is the promoter. In speaking Of
the road Mr.. Guffey said that he had
every reason to believe that it would
be built in the near future and that
the work had been retarded only by
the hard times, but now that bust
ness was good throughout the coun-
try he thought that arrangements
would soon be made for building this
road in which he is personally inter.
es1ed owing to his large holdings OIL
coal and iron land along Cheat. Mr.
Guffey is an enthusiastic believer in
the future prosperity of West Vir.
GINA and backs his enthusiasm with
the hard cash.

Smitleys Get Five Years.
Kingwood Argus.


The Argus last week announced
that the Pennsylvania outlaws had
been granted a new trial on defect
in the indictment. This was true,
but after that their counsel conclud-
ed that it might go worse with them
next time and so withdrew his mo-
ton for new trial, and Saturday
morning Judge Hoke gave them all
the full penalty of the law, five years
each in the Penitentiary at Mounds
vile. The Judge seemed much af
fected and made a short speech, Civ
ing the prisoners some good advice.
They took it all very coolly, and
Tuesday morning Sheriff Shaw, with
ex-Sheriff d. r. jackson. A. w. AL
bright, who has been guarding the
Jail, E. M. Menear, and Bert Feath
er, of Albrightsville, who helped
capture them, took the four convicts
to the State Sanitarium at Mounds
vile, to enter on their five years
sentence, after which the Pennsyl-
vania authorities will want a whacB
at them for stealing horses and 9th
er robberies over there. Verify. the
way of the transgressor is hard.

WHITE CARS
Near Uniontown Order A Man to Leave
the Country.
Uniontovn Tribune.

Jniontown Tribune.
Mr.. William Gordon of Wharton
township, near Fayette Springs,
found notice on his gate post one
morning recently signed: BY order
of the White Caps, notifying him
that he must leave that section of
the country "on and after the fourth
day of July" 1t said further, "the
charges against you are sufficient to
hang a man according TO our consti-
tuition. So by leaving the commun-
ity in which you reside you will save
further trouble" On the opposite
side of the paper was a rude sketch
of tree over a limb of which a rope
was thrown. One end of the rope
was around the neck of very large
man, while a very small, insignifi-
cant looking fellow had hold of the
other end, and was pulling the large
man up. Just how a very small man
would manage to pull large man
up in that way, they did not explain.
The only thing written on this side
was; Hang him is the cry" MIR.
Gordon has not gone yet and does
not expect to for some time, but if
he finds out who the white Caps
are, it is quite likely that somebody
will either move or be moved.

THE FARMERS AND MERCH ANTS
BANK
viii Soon be Ready for Business-The
Building to be Pushed.

Some inquiries have been made as
to the delay in organizing the new
bank here. 1t seems to be settled
that the bank will occupy the Second
Nationals old quarters and the work
has been delayed on that for the rea
son of the inability of the iron mills
to furnish the iron columns needed
Chauncey Huston has just returned
from Pittsburg where he made ar
rangements to have the iron work to
be finished at once and the building
will be pushed to completion. The
business boom has given the iron
mills more orders than they can fill
hence little jobs like this must await
their turn. The bank will no doub,
be ready to open for business by
September let.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

]. l.. McClung Disappears for Weeks
and Then Turns Up.
On the 10Th of June j. L. MeClun2
general manager of the Poca River
Boom and Lumber Co., at Poca, de
parted from his home, to inspect his
trot line in the river. His boat was
found lodged in the river a short
distance below where his line was
located and in it was crushed der
by hat, supposed to have been worn
by him the night before. The river
was dragged for his body and every
effort made to learn the mystery of
his disappearance. The company
owed him money and his accounts
were all right. After over three
weeks of suspense telegram was
received from him from the Indian
Territory asking that his place be
held for him. This cleared up the
mystery so far as his disappearance
went. The Elizabeth Times says
of the affair:
j. L. McClung was. former resi-
dent of Writ county, and married a
Miss Dent, daughter of NJ. M. Dent,
one of the leading farmers of this
county. Considerable excitement
prevailed here when the news reach.
ed here that he was drowned, and his
father-in-law, M. M. Dent, and
brother-in law, W. G. Rathbone
went to Poca to search for his body,
but returned when they found that
he had left the country. His wife
is now at the home of her father
near Palestine, where she has been
for some months"
