ter lingering illness, in the 43d year
of her age. Her last hours were
frightened by the presence OF her dear
children and devoted husband at the

who had gone before. Fully realizing
her condition, she had arranged the
details of her burial service, which was

may be had from the thr0ng who fol-
lowed her remains to lakewood ceme-
terry.
The concert was largely attended, in
fact some were unable to gain admit

selves we'll and showed much careful

MOISTURE IN ILLINOIS.
Crops Not Utterly Ruined Have Received
Much Benefit.

Bloomington, ILL.,, June 12.-Heavy
showers fell in this vicinity late last
evening. In the eastern part Of this
(McLean) county the rain lasted from
one and a half to three hours, and set
the creeks running for the first time in
months. Much good has been done to
the corn. Hay and oats are virtually
ruined beyond salvation. The potato
crop is almost an entire failure. The
timothy meadows will not be worth cut
ting, and there will be a scarcity Of
clover hay.
Springfield, ILL.,, June IA heavy
rain drenched Sangamon county yester-
day, breaking the drouth that has pre-
vailed for weeks. There is great re-
joicing among the farmers. The rain
will insure a heavy crop Of corn.
Carlyle, ILL.,, June 12.-Yesterday was
the hottest at this season of the year.
The mercury registered 102 degrees in
the shade. A most disastrous drouth
is prevailing in this vicinity. Crops OF
all kinds are in very bad condition. The
rainfall during the last three months
has been the slightest ever experienced
here A refreshing rain is reported from
Pana and vicinity, and Princeton.

Nebraska Crop Bulletin.

Lincoln, Neb., June 1.-THE crop bull
letin for the week ending June 10 issued
by the Nebraska experiment station,
reads: ''The week as whole has been
a very favorable one for the growth Of
crops. More or less rain has fallen in
all sections, averaging for the state as
a whole not far from normal. The cool
weather has been very favorable for the
growth of spring wheat and oats, which
have continued to improve, and will
probably in some cases make about a
full crop and generally will exceed half
a crop. Cultivating corn is general over
the state, and in some cases the crop
is being worked the second time"

Milwaukee, Wis, June 12.-Yester-
days issue of the weekly crop bulletin
of the Wisconsin weather and crop
service says: "Crops Of all kinds have
made great advances and the general
conditions are probably above those Of
an average season. It is generally con-
ceded that the hay crop will be far be-
low an average one, meadows are
everywhere very thin, clover is a COM
plete failure and marsh grass is poor.
Apples, cherries and plums continue to
drop from the trees and it is impossible
to estimate how much Of the crop will
be left to mature"

Rioting in Chinese PROVINCE.

Hankow, June 12.-Riots are general

least six cities all property owned by
foreigners has been destroyed. So far
as can be learned the foreign inhabi-
tants are all safe, but they are hurried
ly leaving the province.

Good and Bad in Michigan.

Lansing, June 12-The Michigan
weather bureau in it's weekly crop bull
letin says that the weather in the up
per peninsula and extreme northern
part of the lower peninsula has been
very favorable to all growing crops,
there having been an abundant rain
fall. In the southern half of the state,
however, the general condition of most
crops is the worst in years.

Reaches North Dakota.

Fargo, N. D., June 12.-Rain prevailed
all over the wheat and cattle growing
region of the northwest yesterday. 1t
makes certain immense crops of grain
and grass. While the growing grain
quickly recovered from the effects Of
the frost, no one claims that the dam
age will reach 10 per cent, and the great
majority does not con cede any damage
excepting to fax and ga,cden stuff.

Hay Outlook Bad.

Canajoharie, n. Y, June 12.-Cutting
frosts during May and the drouth that
has prevailed for the past several
weeks show a marked effect on the
outlook of the coming hay crop, by
changing it from that Of a prospective
abundance to one indicating yield be-
low the average.

The Racine contingent of base ball
lists took revenge for their four defeats
at home by defeating the Park Citys
Sunday to the tune of Ii to 4. The
home team was badly crippled by the
non temperance of Windorf, Niesen and
Cantwell, but made the Racineites
dance for about seven innings. 1t is
safe to say that if Windorf had been in
the box the result would have been
changed considerably. Miller pitched
we'll considering this was his second
appearance in the box this season, but
was found defective in the fifth and
sixth, when the visitors piled up 9 OF
their Ii runs. Up to the fifth it was
anybody's game, the score standing 2
to / in favor of Racine, but after that
inning the game was practically over.
Time of game, hours. Umpire: Mar
tinson.
The Park Citys play a return game
with the Racines Sunday after next at
Racine.
The Universitys played the Racine
high school nine Saturday and came
home with the score standing s to 6
against them. What could the Keno
sha teams have been doing Saturday
and Sunday?
The st. Georges school base ball
nine and the North side public school
nine crossed bats Saturday afternoon,
and the former were victorious by
score of 81 to Ii.

Base Ball Notes.

The famous Mud Plungers ran
against a snag in the shape of the Ra-
cine Regulars, at Jacobs park Sunday
afternoon. They made a plucky fight
against odds, as it was evident before
the game that their opponents were too
heavy for them, and after the war was
over, the score standing 20 to 6, they
were all glad that the slaughter wasn't
any worse.

Too much hope should not be placed in
the success of the scheme that Is now be-
ing again pressed for the formation of a
union of Central American republics. Prop
os;tions to this end have been made for
many seasons, but have never come to a
successful issue beyond the point of the
holding of two conventions of representa-
tives of the various nations. which accom-
plished nothing. There is no doubt that a
great deal of discussion has been had from
time to time, both among the diplomats
representing those countries here and in
the countries themselves. but there is
peculiar reason why such a union would
be improbable of formation and unlikely to
be lSrmanently successful if formed. The
Temporary character of government in
those lends has long been by-word among
the Older established nations, and revolu-
lions by factions desiring supremacy have
been made so frequent that stable organi-
cation Seems to be almost impossible. 1t Is

1t Is feared by a few unreasonably-nery-
Gus people that the presence of two United
states officials at the Jacksonville mass
meeting Of sympathizers with rebellious
Cuba will add to the friction that now

That the United States attorney and the
United States marshal for the district in
which Jacksonville lies gave evidence of
interest in Cubas effort to free itself from
the chains that bird it to a selfish, incon-

has no excuse for being surprised Ameri-

The news that q Pennsylvania physician
has been arrested for causing the death of
a patient by the use Of leeches reads
vancement and general enlightenment 1t
was thought that the old fashioned prae-
tice of bleeding patients had been oblt-
Grated by the flood of meteorological facts
that have been let into the medical world
in late years. The hypodermic syringe, it
was thought. had quite supplanted the
leech. the cup. and the knife. In the pres
ent case the physician. who was once a
miner and who is not now recognized by
the medical fraternity Of his region, not
being registered, undertook to cure a case
Strange to say the patient grew weaker,
until at last he died. 1t was a great mys-
terry why the man should lose strength.
Shortly before death ensued a physician of
the more modern school was called and he
found no less than twenty healthy hungry
leeches at work on the poor fellows skin,
sucking his life away. The doctor will
now be tried for malpractice. Time was
not so very far back when every ill was
treated with the opening of vein. The
leech continued to be the physicians trade
mark to date so recent that it Is sur
prising that the coat of arms of the fra
ternity should not now be embazoned with
an allegorical device representing a leech
and bacillus engaged in deadly combat
for supremacy. much after the fashion of
the lion and the unicorn of the British
shield.

There are various indie ations which give
promise that the exorbitant prices that
have prevailed for the use OF telephones
may soon be cut down to a reasonable
basis. The Star has long commended that
with the present facilities for cheapened
construction. owing to the advance OF me-
chanical devices and the expiration of
patents. the standard rentals were much
too high. Telephone service should be
cheapened to the point where many more
people than can Tow afford to subscribe
viii be induced to indulge what was for
merly luxury but is now necessity;
and in this increase of customers the tele-
phone companies will find their profit.

The value of uniform regulations requir-
ing rapid transit street cars to stop before
crossing a street has just received an ad-
ditional Illustration In a verdict rendered
yesterday in Philadelphia, awarding to a
plaintiff 5000 damages for the death Of
her husband, which was caused by his
being struck by a trolley car, which he
had every reason to believe would stop at
the near crossing. That was the rule and
habit that governed the schedules, and the
violation of the regulation resulted In the
death Of the plaintiffs husband, who was
driver on a horse car on a line that crossed
the trolley road at that point. The Star
has already called attention to the fact
that enc cable road in this city, the CO.
lumbia, has adopted the sensible rule of
stopping the cars at the near crossing
while the other rapid transit lines adhere
to the old plan Of running across the street
before pulling up. Experience has shown
that the former plan is far better and
safer. yet the older roads are slow to adopt
It. 1t is to the credit of the Columbia
company that 1t has chosen not only this
good system of stops, but that it has
abandoned the useless and awkward grip
car and has substituted the wheel grip
This contrivance Is effective and practical
BILE; 1t prevents the sudden starting that Is
go unpleasant and often so dangerous
The absence Of the grip car does away with
the extra jerking that Is caused by the
Ioose coupling Of the trailer Taken alto
gether. there is room for great improve
ment in the older cable roads in other
features than tenders.

There Is apparently every reason to COM
mend the selections of the Commissioners
for the positions Of women trustees on the
school board. Both of the appontees have
achieved more or less acquaintance with
the technical details of educational mat
tiers and are doubtless well equipped for
their new duties. The experiment, for
such 1t is locally. will be watched with in
tcrest by the citizens, who will be eager to
know. not whether Mrs. Stowell and Mrs
Terrell make good school trustees, but
whether the presence of women on the
board will tend to the accomplishment of
benefcent results. They will, of course,
be assigned to the charge of certain div;-
s:ons Of the city. and this will enable the
public to ascertain perhaps after a season
or two just the relative value between
men and women as guardians of the school
interests. The trustee Is in sense in
charge of his own particular district. With
him-and now her-rests the character of
the teaching force in that division, and
hence Its efficiency. Many other details of
School management are under the direct
control of the trustee. and by the results
achieved can the value of the trustee in
his official capacity be judged

scarcely to be expected that union of ma
lions that cannot guarantee cohesion of
their own component parts could fuse into
a harmonious whole and maintain an In
dependent confederation. The factors Of
dtsintegration seem to be Enthusiastically
present in each one Of these small repub-
lies, but it Is barely possible that with a
broader scheme of organization fractional
differences might be submerged and the
central authority given sufficient power to
cope with the disntegrating tendency. The
main trouble in Central American states
today appears to be the lack of established
force in the invested administration. With
greater territory and greater concentrated
resources, the Central American republic
which is so fondly dreamed of by so many
might become possible permaneney. 1t
would surely. be in the interest of the
United States for these small republics,
that are now the legitimate objects of Flu
ropean avarice. to consolidate themselves
and thus to place themselves on a more
effective basis of self-defense.

There were only sixty-five men at work
on the city post office building today. This
falling oft Is due. 1t Is explained, to the fact
that the recent energetic work at the site
has exhausted nearly all the stone on hand,
and the force must be reduced until certain
cargoes Of material that are now on their
way shall arrive. If the building is to be
completed before August II. 1906, it would
seem desirable to order the stone suffi-
GENTLY in advance and in sufficient Quanti-
ties to keep a full force Of workmen con-
stantlY employed.
