THE MELLINeER INSURANCE.

All the insurance money on the life of the
late q. V, l.. Mellinger, who met his death by
very sad and unfortunate accident, has not
as yet been paid, and it is understood that some
of the insurance companies are endeavoring to
gather evidence on which to contest the claim.
Such procedure would be very unpopular in
Canton. Mr. Mellingers death was the result
of accident, and this fact is so well known to
our people thai. they look upon any contesting
proceedings with distayOr.

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Wheat Reports Vary-Pastures Are
Looking Up-Hay Crop is
Very Light,

The Ohio weather and crop bureau has
issued the following bulletin for this
section for the week ending June cath:
The eastern half of the section was
visited by quite heavy rains on the 18th,
Goth and 2lst, while in the western half
the rainfall was generally light and
afforded but temporary relief as the
ground was not moistened to n sufficient
depth to reach the roots of most growing
plants. Wheat Is ripening rapidly and
some fields seem to be filling well, but
with short heads; several counties report
ed damage to wheat fields ON account of
rust, grasshoppers and flies. Oats show
slightly improved condition, but the
straw heads are short Corn Is showing
good growth, but some fields are
very uneven on account of replanting
Potatoes are doing very well in some
| counties, while in others the crop Is re-
ported in poor condition on account of
the drouth and the ravages of bugs. Rye
is very poor crop, and many fields are
being cut for feed The hay crop prom
ises to be the lightest for several years hay
ing Is begun in some places Glover Is
being generally cured and the crop Is not
much better than the grasses. Pastures,
especially in the eastern part, show i'm
proyement, but are still very short and
brown, and in some places feeding of
stock is necessary. Large fruits are still
falling badly, and small fruits give prom
ise of light yield.
Mr.. John w. Gibbs, one of the most pros
porous and best posted agriculturalists in this
section said to reporter that the hay crop in
this county would be very light. As for corn,
he said that farmers We're still planting and il
looked as If there would yet be pretty good
yield, The recent rains said Mr.. Gibbs were
great blessing they came inst in time, and
when the farmers were becoming very de
spondent on account of the dryness Wheat
will do pretty well and in general way the
| farmers are in much happier frame of mind
than they were fortnight ago.

If Quay is out for Mckinley it is a
notable accession to the cause of our
fellow citizen. The Pennsylvania senator
rules supreme in his state, says Walt er
Wellman in Washington special. Not
withstanding his peculiar methods and the
influential opposition to him which has
from time to time developed in Phila-
delphia and Pittsburg, Quay easily re-
tains the lead. He has absolute control
of the legislature and the congressional
delegation is almost wholly responsive to
his will. John Wanamaker is trying to
oppose Quay with view to the election
of Harrison delegates next year, but out
side the city of Philadelphia Quay will
have pretty much everything in sight
Conservative estimates give him control
of forty-flve out of the sixty.four dele
gates. A man who can go into the
national convention with more than two
score delegates in the hollow of his hand
is factor in presidont-making not to be
despised,
