The Dispatch Received by Senator
WOlcOtt From the Legislature.
When Senator Wolcott was asked as to
the truth of the report sent out from Den
yer, that in the face Of his nomination for
reelection by the republican legislative
caucus, he would be opposed by several
republican members, he exhibited the fol-
lowing telegram saying it conveyed all the
information he had on the subject:
1.-The republican joint caucus send you
New Year greeting. You have just been
nominated by a rising vote unanimously as
United States Senator to succeed yourself,
and each member desires, as a personal
favor, that his name shall be added to the
telegram"
The telegram is signed by every republi-
can member of both the senate and house,
and Mr.. Wolcott naturally infers that the
report is without foundation. Senator
Teller does rot hesitate to pronounce it q

Details are of course for the future. The
contract is big one, and the republican
leaders, with all their experience and con-
fidence, are disposed to move cautiously.
But a new tariff bill, limited in scope, but
carrying more revenue for the govern
ment, and a refunding bill dealing with the
whole question of the governments indebt-
edness, are on the cards for the next Con-
greSS.

that all the Australian snakes are verom-

Cumberland County.

Yield Of sweet and yellow corn above
an average, acreage of former about
seventy-iivc per cent, of the latter about
one hundred and twenty five per cent.
The yield and quality of grain are above
an average. Condition of potatoes about
the same as last month. In some sections
of the county the rot is quite severe, in
Others there is no great damage reported.
Nearly all varieties suffer where any are
affected. The short hay crop has lessened
the usual amount Of stock fodder on
hand at this season of the year. Several
speak of the great benefits
derived from the corn crop in such seasons
when the hay crop is cut off.

Edward c. Hickerson's Colossal COMEDY
Company.


Saturday afternoon, Edward K. Nicker-
sons Comedy gave Fast Lynne" before
one Of the largest and most enthusiastic
audiences which has gathered at the OPP
era house. this season. The play was
very well given. Being its second per
Torrance here by this company it needs
no comment, except to say that it was
right up to expectations.
In the evening colleen Bawn' was
given before q good sized crowd, and in
many respects was very well received.
The play, itself, however, is without
moral, yet by no means is it immoral,
and is without any special theme.
The Specialtics introduced were of the
very best description, and with the music
were well worth the price charged for
admission.
Mr. Niokerson deserves the highest
praise for his introducing performances
of n good order at popular prices, and
will be given q good patronage when he
again appears in this city.
The music has been thoroughly sppre-
ciated and it's enjoyable concerts will be
greatly missed.

General Summary.
AS We look over the replies of our cor
respondents from the entire State we find
that the yield and acreage OF corn are
above an average, much value being added
TO our fodder by this increase. Grain has
yielded an abundant crop of superior
quality over the entire State. No damage
reported from any locality from rust or
other diseases. The condition of the
potato crop varies largely in different
localities. Most of the large potato grow
ing districts suffering the most. The
amount Of stock fodder is above an
average being caused by the large amount
Of corn and straw from the grains. We
call your attention to the remarks OF our
correspondents as arranged by counties

A Word for the w. C. 7. U. Round Table.

We had a discussion about root beer
lately, ard one of our careful readers has
sent Us the following: Il find root beer
a healthful as well as appetizing drink
l use it in this way. put little of the
prepared extract into pitcher with lemon
juice and sugar to taste, fiji up with
water and put away in the refrigerator
By putting some cracked ice in our glasses
we have q delicious drink to which no
exceptions can be taken"
We agree with our friend that thus
prepared the drink is without reproach
However, We wish the word beer could be
eliminated, aud also, that we could know
that our use of harmless beverage would
not be an excuse to some one else for using
an alcoholic preparation bearing the same
name. 1t Is almost dangerous to be safe,
these days.

First: Because we believe that the

Second: We belong because there is a

average church member regarding the

Third; We belong because, while the
evil OF the saloon is almost universally
acknow lodged by the churches. yet there
are weapons which must be welded

which now cannot be freely advocated
under the auspices of the church without
