and harvest of the same, were Tuesday
made by directors of the several climate
and crop sections The reports re-
ceived at Chicago were as follows:
The week has been generally favor
able for work. and vegetation has made
rapid growth. The season which three
weeks ago was from two to three weeks
late over the northern por-
ton OF the country, has ad-
vanced rapidly, and the marked tenn
perature deficiency which existed at
that time has been overcome. Winter
wheat shows further improvement in
Virginia, West Virginia, Ken
lucky, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota and is doing we'll in
Iowa, Missouri and portions of Illinois.
In Indiana winter wheat is reported as
in fine condition. In the states of the
central valleys corn planting has been
pushed rapidly. Planting is practically
completed in Kentucky and Arkansas;
is about half finished in Kansas: is in
general progress in central and south
ern Illinois, and will become general
in Iowa the coming week.
kentucky-The week has been warm
with an excess of sunshine and the
light local rains have been fairly dis
tributed. Corn planting has been
brought to completion. Wheat is gem
orally improved. Hemp is sown in
many counties. Tobacco plants look
well. Cut worms are damaging clover
and early corn in western counties.
Generally rain is needed.
1ndiana-Good rains i'm many locali-
ties and warm weather have advanced
all vegetation most rapidly. The light
frost of the 22d did no injury. Wheat
and grasses are in fine condition. oats
are nearly all sown and blowing for
corn in progress.
Ohio-The weather during the week
has been favorable. Wheat prospects
are improved but considerable will be
plowed up for other crops Grass is
better, some oats are up, gardens are
doing well, potatoes about planted and
fruit prospects are fair. Insects are
numerous Some light frosts are re-
ported with no damage Stock is ON

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col. May The
burned district of Wednesday covered
l. blocks The Masonic temple build
ing was but partially destroyed and
there the mass meeting of citizens was
held Thursday to consider the grave

Colorado Springs arrived at six o'clock

Their wants were soon satisfied, the
tents were rapidly set up and by noon
something like order prevailed. What
provisions were saved from the fire
commanded fancy prices, beef selling
at 81 pound and bread 25 cents a

The First national bank opened be-
fore nine o'clock in a warehouse and
money was issued on demand The
timetable bank will opened Friday

were put in something like order

There is n determination plainly
shown to rid the camp of undesirable

were lined up and drummed out of
town. All arrested suspects were later
on sent to Colorado Springs. A vigil
lance committee has been formed and
no mercy will be shown to violators of
the law. This committee will work
quietly and will not give out ANYTHING
to the public. The result of this policy
has been wholesome and few COM
plants of thieving have been made
1t is impossible to state Thursday
night how many were burned in the
fire Wednesday. All kinds of rumors
are afioat and many persons are miss
ing. Some have gone out of town and
sorle are off on the hills with friends.

dead bodies-that of Chas Griffith. a
miner; the unknown incendiary shot
by Floyd Thompson, and an unindenti-
fled miner. The revised list of the in

which is covered by insurance The
loss by the two fires will reach g., 600
600, and the total insurance loss about
100000. The cause of Wednesdays
hre is as yet matter of specula-
ton. A waitress in the Portland hotel
was in the kitchen when the blaze
first broke through the partition wall
and she states that the fire originated
in the Chicago restaurant adjoining
the hotel. But the fire burst out stimuli
taneously from so many places as to
still leave the impression that arson
was committed. Coal oil fumes were
detected about the school house Thurs
day, and some women created a sensa-
ton ty telling of seeing two men try
ing to set fire to a residence near the
