The Corn Crop Safe.
1t VIII Give the Farmers Much Money
and Have an Effect ON General Bust

II VIII Give the Farmers Much Money
and Have an Effect ON General Bust
ness.
Each week brings the West near to the
time when the largest corn crop ever gath
cred will be secured. Its so far advanced
in Kansas and part of Nebraska that it is
practically out of the way of possible dam
age from hot winds, and another week will
put part of it beyond harm from early
frosts. About every well-informed rail
road man in the West estimates the crop
at not below 2,250,000, 600 bushels, and
some say 100000, The state reports
coming in make the yield larger than the
government figures month ago, so that
there will be corn "tO burn" in the far
West
The corn crop, combined with the large
yield of oats, will give the farmers more
money than they have had for years, and
enable them to pay off a good part of their
debts and also to buy goods freely. The
prospects are for the largest grain traffic
that the granger roads have had for years,
and also a very heavy traffic in merchandise
and manufactured goods. The movement
has only fairly started, but in another
week it will be greatly enlarged General
managers of most of the roads are out in
specting their lines and ordering repairs
made in all parts.

that, and beyond all the material advantage
to a state as favorably situated as Vermont
is, may be mentioned the educational part
of fishing and hunting as intelligent and
respectable people do. 1t brings us into in
tercourse with our Mother Nature. There
are the water and rocks and trees and skies
everywhere, and no man has so fine an OPP
portunity to study out what the whole life
of nature is as he who devotes some of his

that they bring us into communion with

CIoudbnrsts Flood Western Towns.

The flood in Socorro last week was the
most serious in the history of New MeXi-
co. The rain had been falling heavily two
hours when cloudburst occurred in the
mountain five miles from the town, and in
short time dark, gigantic waves took
their devastating course through the
streets Many bridges and a mile of the
railroad were washed away. The wave
was 20 feet in two of the small suburbs.
Forty buildings were destroyed and 100
more will fall. The damage is estimated
at 100000. Eighteen persons, two of
whom were Americans and the others
Mexicans, were probably drowned and
most of the bodies have been recovered.
There was also cloudburst at Adelaide,
Colo, a mining town on the line of the
Florence and Cripple Creek railroad. For
ty buildings were wrecked and at least
three persons drowned.

sprague. wash. wiped out by Fire.

Sprague, the county seat of Lincoln
location of the Northern Pacific car shops,
was almost destroyed by fire Saturday. A
high wind was blowing at the time and the
fire swept with resstless fury, destroying
100000 worth of property in two hours.
Every business house except three small
stores and the First National bank were
burned. The fire may be a death-blow to
Sprague, as it is probable that the North
ern Pacific will now move its shops to SpO-
kane. The burned district covers 800
acres. The loss to the Northern Pacific
company alone amounted to S750000.

John Quinn-. Cause of the Trouble.

john 0uinn-.-C0use OF the trouble.
Rutland had sensational but bloodless
shooting affair Monday. DIR. b. c. SEN
ton, one of the best known physicians in
the city, was the shooter, and John Quinn,
young man, was the target Quinn's
father Michael Quinn, is a wealthy resi-
dent, and his home on Washington street
is near that of DR.. SentOn. Quinn had
been in the city only once since last spring,
being engaged with his brother in running

came to Rutland Monday and in short
time met DR.. Senton twice on the Streets
He had secured some personal effects at
his home and was on his way past d.
Senton's house when the latter ran out
with revolver in hand. He pulled the
trigger twice but the weapon was not dis
charged. Quinn then ran down the street
with DR.. Senton in pursuit. One more
shot was fired, which passed close to
Quinns head. A. Van Harwood a report
er for the Rutland Herald, seized DIR. SEN
ton and persuaded him to return home.
Quinn says he does not know why Seuton
fired at him. Senton claims that he made
himself offensive to his family, that he
lost control of himself and ought to have
kicked the young man instead of shooting.
The Rutland correspondent of the Bur
lington Free Press intimates that Quinn's
relations with Mrs. Senton were the cause
of the trouble. Quinn made no complaint
against Senton and left at once for Lake
Dunmore. DIR. SentOn was health officer
at Rutland last year and is assistant sur
geon of the Vermont National Guard.

day on warrant charging him with as

Hundreds orDivorces Invalid.

Following the decision that probate
judges have no right to grant divorces in
Oklahoma since August -, 1893, the SUI
preme court of that territory has decid-
ed that even before that time their
jurisdiction was confined to persons who
had been residents of the territory two
years or more, and that all divorces granted
by them to persons on 90 days residence
are null and void and subsequent marriages
bigamous. AS all outsiders for divorces
took advantage of the 90 days residence
clause, this decision invalidates between
300 and 400 divorces granted to Eastern
people in addition to the 700 or 800 rem
dered invalid by the decision OF last Sat
urday.
