WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN-T h
temperature during the past week
was below the normal nearly every
day, Very little rainfall occurred
during the week. Local showers fell
in the Great Kanawha Valley and in
the Ohio Valley and northern coun-
ties, but were light in character and
unequally distributed. Considerable
more than the usual amount of
bright sunshine was received during
the week. At the close of August
the months temperature averaged
nearly one degree per day above the
normal, notwithstanding the pre-
vailing cool weather of the latter
half of the month. Since March lst,
the beginning of the crop season, the
temperature averaged slightly more
than one degree above The normal.
This shows crop season which, on
the whole was slightly warmer than
usual. August's rainfall was slight
ly above the normal. The rainfall
was we'll distributed through the
month and all sections of the State
were we'll watered. Ia the eastern
counties and throughout the south
ern sections the rainfall during the
crop season did not vary greatly
from the normal or usual amount.
The weather during the past week
has been eminently favorable for the
ripening of the corn crop which is
maturing rapidly. Some fields are
ready to cut and it is probable that
the greater part of the crop will be
gathered during the next ten days
or. two weeks. As whole the crop
is good and promises large yield.
T arm ers are busy preparing
ground for fall seeding, and great
deal has been done, the ground being
in good condition and the weather
favorable. Fall pastures are un-
usually good in all parts of the
State. Some correspondents say they
were never better at this time of the
year. Stock is doing well. The
buckwheat crop is ripening rapidly
aud some of it will be out next week.
II is generally splendid crop, al
though some correspondents say the
straw is heavy and the grain light.
Lste gardens are in good condition
and vegetables abundant. Some
complaint is made of apples falling,
but it does not appear to be general.
Wheat threshing has not been fin
ished in some localities. The cores
pendent at Old Fields, Hardy Co.,
says it is threshing out badly and
very few crops have yielded more
than or 10 bushels to the acre.
Others say the grain is damp and
will take some time to dry.

West Virginia was held at Wheel
ing, last Saturday, to name dele
gates to the convention of the Ma

called the meeting to order, and
Hon. Benz. Trapnell, of Charles
Town, was named temporary chair
man, and he made capital speech.
The platform declared for the single
gold standard, the maintenance of

ence with the Supreme Court. The
planks were vigorously applsuded,
the mention of President Cleye-

The delegates to the Indianapolis
Convention were then named, among

It would be surprising to the critical
observer to have read his newspaper, and
not find in its columns an account OF one
or more suicides. The number of women
who are resorting TO self destruction Is
alarmingly on the increase. We can
usually account for the suicide of a man,
and find the cause 10 lie in lack Of sue
cess in life from a business standpoint.
Women are driven TO desperation be
cause they are failures IS maidens, fail
ures as wives, failures GS mothers. De-
velope the mental faculties TO as great a
degree of perfection IS you Will, let her
be sufficiently accomplished TO meet al
the requirements of every degree of So
ciety, and Notwithstanding her ability as
based upon her mental development to
become a bright and attractive star in
the armament of the highest social set,
unless she is standing upon the rock OF a
perfect physical condition she becomes q
pitiable failure. There is a degree OF
couventiouallity about the votaries Of
present day society, which precludes that
natural confidence one girl owes TO
euother, that a daughter owes to
mother. Natures demands unheeded III
an attempt at higher civilization, and
the woman goes or through life suffering
al the tortures attendant upon a de.
ranged organism, and she cannot be
blamed for refusing to submit 70 the alb
horent exanin Sons and local treatment
insisted upon by the general practitioner.
Science has now, however, come to the
rescue OF womankiud, by placing within
her reach the result OF its researches,
NUX-PHOsPHO. You need no longer be-
come old in action before your time, as
a result of organic disorders, irregular
menstruation, pain in the back and sides,
womb troubles, luchorrhea, flashes Of
heat aching bones, creeping rigors, irri-
liability, f1rred tongue, foul breath, i.tog-
ular appetite, sluggish feelings, constpa-
ton, dizziness and a complete lack OF
energy. Nux-Phospho can be found in
the medicine chests OF Expresses,
Queens and Processes. 1t has cured
thousands. It will cure You, make you
bright, coutented and happy. Will
wipe out forever from your careworn
features that worried and rrematurely
aged expression, make yOg successful
wife and happy mother.
Nux-phOspho IS sold throughout the
civilized world by all dealers.

Mrs. J. F. Hackfelds and Mrs. J. D.
Robinson's gold watches has been cap
tured, and it turns out 70 be none other
than Kailipaka, who has a mania FOR
taking watches.
A well founded suspicion caused De
tective KAPPA to arrest the man for in
vestigation, and a clever system OF
"blufing" brought the whole confession
from the prisoners lips. He directed
the officers TO the Japanese TO whom he
had sold Mrs. Hackfeld's watch, and
then tried to find the man who had
Mrs. Robinson's, but that individual
was not at home.
Kailipaka has a neat little record al
ready. He served two years for steaI-
ing Miss Fanning's watch, and six
months for gross cheat, finishing the
latter sentence during the last week
of August, this year.
