age in the West.
Monday evening a cyclone struck Hart
ford, Kan, coming from the southwest,
and sweeping everything from its path,
which was clean cut and about 100 feet
in width. Several persons were injured
so badly that they are not expected to
live. No one. as far as known, was killed
outright The storm after passing through
the town to the east seemed to jump the
Neosho river and then rise and disappear
in the air.
A very heavy rainstorm prevailed
throughout Nebraska the same day. In
the southern portion it was accompanied
by high winds, and in Richardson County
a cyclone did great damage to property
and crops. No loss of life has been re-
ported yet. There were miraculous es-
capes and considerable loss of live stock.
The storm was first seen when three fun
mel shaped clouds came together and merg-
ed into one.
Monday morning a heavy windstorm
passed over Crawford County, Ia, and ut
places assumed the proportions of a cy-
clone. The storm was worse in Paradise
township, near Kenwood. The house of
John Rose was demolished and Mrs. Rose
died from injuries received. Mr.. Rose
had his shoulder dislocated. Their baby
was carried some distance from the house,
but was found wrapped in a quilt un-
harmed. The large barn of Joseph Dun
can was wrecked. August Eggers also
lost his barn and all outbuildings. The
McWilliams school house, three miles east
of Denison, was completely wrecked.

a military sense the canal more than dou-

PROSPECTS FOR GOOD CROPS.

Reports Indicate a Heavy Yield in
the West and Northwest.
Recent crop reports are to the effect that
the outlook was never better than il is
now. Along nearly all the Western rnil-
way systems the winter wheat crop Is be-
ing harvested, and will be about half Of
what is considered normal. Rains have
recently fallen over the entire West, par
ticularly in Illinois, where complaints
were being made of damage to hay, and
near the southern boundaries, to oats. The
actual damage to oats, however, will not
affect general results. Spring wheat looks
well, both in the West and Northwest.
Prospects for good corn crop are all
that could be desired, all reports received
merely adding to the favorable outlook.
In Illinois hay is short, ms 1t is also in
southern Missouri, but in Iowa, Nebraska,
Colorado, and especially Wyoming. large
yields may be depended upon. Potatoes
and fruit promise well, and the recent
rains have led the farmers to put in late
crops of potatoes, corn. and fax wherever
there was an acre available. In some
sections Of Illinois grain has had more
rain than was good for it. though in the
same districts corn has held its own. Oats
cover large acreage everywhere, and
with the possible chance of lodging
through storms or local damage from
rust" which may come later, with ex-
treme heat and moisture together, the
crop seems assured. An unusually large
amount of sugar beets has been planted
in eastern Nebraska, showing that farm
ers have confidence in that crop, notwith-
standing past failures. Railroads are
preparing to move an immense harvest.

in the modern Babylon, the capital of the
great British Empire. 1t is an event
which marks an epoch in the history of hui
manity; an event which shows that hu-
man society is beginning to flow in new
and nobler channels.
1t was in 1873 that number of farm
ers' wives rose up in revolt in Ohio against
the village saloon system. Times were
hard, crops were poor, and the few dol
lars which the husband spent across the
bar represented pair of shoes for the
wife and a new dress for the ragged
daughter. Ii was no mere moral spasm
it was no sudden burst of prohibition prin-
ciples; it was the dire necessity of daily
bread. The women took counsel together,
and then acted. Their action within nine
ty-six hours developed into and became
known all over the United States as "The
Crusaders" There was no unanimity at
first in either plan or performance. In
some communities they merely prayed
and sang; in others they resorted to moral
suasion; in some they held indignation
meetings, and in others fell back on brute
force. AS the war progressed it was soon
noticed that prayer and praise, persuasion
and politeness, kindness and gentleness
had gathered a rich harvest, where the AK
and the club, the mob and the petard, the
missile and the dynamite cartridge of
speech had resulted in naught but harm.
1t was victory for Christianity and true
temperance. And the victors organized
upon this basis, Christianity and temper
ance, and thus took their name. This is
how the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, the now famous w. G. T. T., came
into being.
The recent session of the Worlds Tenn
perance Union marks the elimination of
the greatest demonstration of teetotalers
that has ever taken place. The two hun
dred temperance mass meetings which
were addressed by the members of the
woman's temperance associations of the
United States, England and other coun-
tries were even more of q success than
had been anticipated, and it is probable
that the demonstration will have no little
influence in the political world. The ses-
sion of the British association was pre-
sided over by Lady Henry Somerset, who
in an address extolled the work for the
cause of morality in the large cities of
the United States. Hundreds of visitors
from America were present.

ain-Reduced Acreage in France.
The condition of crops in foreign coun.
tries is attracting much attention at the
present time, and the reports thereon is
sued by the Agricultural Department are
quite full. The main reports are as fol-
lows:
Great Britain--Thc varying conditions
of wea ather have already affected the pros
pective hay crop. which cannot now be an
average, owing to the absence of rain. The
imports of hay are returning to the aver
ages which existed before the great
drought of 1893, the figures for April
being S.121 tons (of which 5,256 came
from the United States), against 3o,o6O
tons in April of last year. Cereals through
out the country look promising and the
prospect is for very good crop.
Francc-The greater part of May has
been unusually cold, but considerable rain
has fallen and winter growths are in fine
condition. Spring sowings are also re-
ported az doing well. Authorities anti
cpate wheat crop of 80 100000 to 290.-
100000 bushels, n falling off from last
year, due to reduced acreage.
Germany-An average wheat crop is
now expected, but all reports concur in
erage.
Austria Notwithstanding suf-
ficient moisture, the prospects for cereal
crops is characterized us a bare average,
owing to the damage done by the extreme
ly cold antecedent weather.
Roumania-The spring crops have been
planted under favorable conditions. Wheat
and rape seed are reported as doing well.
Russia-The general tenor of reports is
unsatisfactory. Spring seeding accom-
plished very late in northern and central
governments. From the Caucasus the
reports are favorable. Extensive floods
are reported from Poland and the south
west districts. Drought and black frost
have effected some injury, it is reported,
in the Black Sea district.
Sweden and Norway-The reports from
these countries are more gloomy than
from any other part of Europe. owing to
the extreme dryness of the spring. 1t is

center of attraction was the seaport.

peror of Germany opened the ceremony by
passing in through the canal in the i'm

stone in the building of the canal and in
the international banquet which followed,
this marking virtually the close of the
official program of festivities. This cere.
mony took place Friday in the open air
at Hottenau. The spot where the EN-
peror performed this ceremony was embel-
lished by handsome designs in landscape
gardening, and the lighthouse, in close
proximity, showed already the three
bronze reliefs of Emperors William l.,
Frederick Ill. and William III. His Ma
jesty Emperor William /. laid the corner
stone of the Baltic canal on June 3, 1887,
and accompanied his blows with the ham,
mer by the words, "In honor of united
Germany, 10 her permanent welfare. in
token of her might and power" The light
house and the block of masonry into which
the Emperor placed the finishing stone
were surrounded by enormous scaffoldings
rising amphitheatrically in a semi-circle
and affording seating room for about 15,.
600. From these seats the whole space
where the banquet took place and the
bay where tie international naval demon
stration came off could be overlooked with
ease. The grand banquet, at which 1000
guests participated, including the diplo-
matte representatives of the various ma.
tons, was given in structure of original
design, the latter being based on an idea
of the Emperor himself. The structure
was fac simile of a huge vessel of an
cicnt construction as in vogue in the sew
enteenth century.
Canal Cost $3s.5OO,OOO.
After the labors of eight years and an
expenditure of about $3S,5OO,OOO, with
labor obtained at 20 cents day, the great
canal which joins the Baltic sea TO the
German ocean is open for use. 1t inter-
sects the peninsula Of Schleswig- Holstein
from Brunsbuttel, near the mouth Of the
Elbe river, to Hottenau, on the Kiel bay,
and opposite that city, distance Of about
fifty-nine miles. For centuries vague pro-
jects connecting the North sen and Baltic
ocean had been discussed, no less than six
teen different schemes having been advo-
Gated since the sixteenth century. 1t
was not, however, until 1887 that the
foundation stone of the present waterway
was laid by Emperor William l., and since
then the work has been rapidly pushed,
being finished within the stipulated time.

Careful Speech.

Careful speech would seem to be a
necessity Of the daily life Of Christians,
IL they believe the Scriptural assertion,
"By thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words condemned" Our
lips are our own. We have the right
to use language, but it should be tenn
pered with discretion. Once a scornful
or angry or censorious speech passes
the gate of the lips, we canot control
1t, and its effects are beyond our estl-
nation. Let us be careful what we
say, and on our lips let us have the law
of kindness.

Devotional Study of the Bible.


The so-called devotional study of the
Bible is too frequently lazy excuse
for not studying at all. We do not like
to leave our Bibles too long unopened,
we do not feel like any mental effort,
and so we say, I'VE will read devotion
ally" Perhaps that kind Of reading is
better than none, but we cannot say
more Of it than that We do not honor
God or his revelation by using less ef-
fort to comprehend the Bible than a
newspaper. True devotional study is
not kind of study by itself, but the
crown and glory of all study. 1t is not
the beginning, but the end. Exact,
scientific, critical study is the necessary
basis Of all true devotional study.
