For the Week Ending NAV s1.

The temperature during the past
week ranged from to 1o degrees per
day above the normal.
The week opened with temperatures
not greatly above the normal and
several days of pleasant weather en-
sued The last three days were ex-
cessively warm and sultry, the temper
AZURE rising each day to 80 degrees and
higher. This period of unusual heat
has now continued more than thirty
days and has made both the month and
the season Ear ahead of the normal.
Very little rainfall occurred during
the week. Local showers were re-
ported but were too light to be Of
more than passing good to the crops
Thunder showers occurred Monday
night throughout the Ohio valley,
and light rainfall was also reported
from the Great Kanawha valley.
The week was one with almost
wholly clear skies and the amount OF
sunshine received was about 50 per
cent. of the possible amount
The continued warm, sunshiny and
dry weather has been very favorable
TO the growth Of all the crops and for
farming operations. The weather
conditions and the growth and dsvel-
opment of vegetation during the past
month have been truly wonderful.
Farming operations have been unhin-
dered, save for short intervals follow
ing the showers, aud are now in adj
vance OF the average season.
Nearly the whole of the corn crop
has been planted, and that early
planted has sprouted well and has a
good stand. Cut worms are causing
damage in some sections. though as
yet complaints are not general
The grain crop is improving "A little
in some sections. Many correspond
ents note that the fields are thin.
while others say they have thickened
more than was thought possible
Meadows and pasture fields are in
prime condition. The potato crop
has sprouted we'll and some of it is
large enough TO cultivate Bugs are
reported as plentiful and doing no
little damage TO the young plants.
Rain Is beginning to be needed in
all sections As yet nothing is suffer
ing for rain, but the ground is getting
dry and hard.

they would use the investigation to

Not single Democratic member
OF the House Committee on Inter-
State and Foreign Commerce voted
for the Mahon Nicaragua Canal
bill. which was tins week ordered
to be favorahly reported to the
House By that Committee. That
is creditable TO the Democrats on
that committee. 1t is Republi.
can bill, founded upon the Repub-
lican idea of public subsidies for
private enterprise. 1t might as
well appropriate 800, 900, 900 out
right rs to provide for government
guarantee of bonds to that amount,
as il does, so far as the final result
is concerned. With the example
of the Pacific railroads before them
the people of the county should
never endorse another scheme to
loan the public credit to private
corporations. IL Congress regards
the building of the Nicaragua Canal
as a public necessity let it provide
for buying the interest of the pri.
vate company and for having the
canal built by the government.
We have already had enough of
the results of government partner
ship with private individuals.
Car Reed has not yet indicated
whether he will allow this bill to
pass at this session.

proposed to execute as the result
of court martial in Cuba. and he
is prepared to talk still palmer if
necessary to prevent punishment
out of proportion to their offense

but the Democrats of Georgia do
not know how to bolt the regular

Because I'm there 10 pine

And take hearty whine.

Can't you hitch to Jack or Bill
Then like u col, you'de play.
Old widowers q had better get
Another woman true
Don't you often stew and fret
And feel SO ofFal blue
Young woman can't you get man
II he hasant got the style
Then you'll live By better plan
And quit this foolish guile.
A single life it seems all pain
You've always got the blues
TO every thing you will complain
Cause a single life you choose.
Some where within that book of books
think it speaks this way
1t is not good for man TO go
Alone through life each day.

To dayly plan the way r.L
He needs her heart and true command
And her love to ever stay.
Who knows the real though fleeing

When lovers really meet
How grand is human sympathies
But still their incomplete.
When counting days have fed away
And you some heart have gained
I'm sure youth feel brighter day
Dawn on your happy brain.

Senator Smith, of N. j., return
ed to Washington moro convinced
shan ever that the Democrats can
win this year if they exercise care
and discretion. Speaking of the
State Convention in New JERSEY.
he said "The Democrats gathered
at Trenton with as much vim and
spirit as they ever did. There were
plenty Of candidates for delegates
to the National Convention, and
among the rank and file there was
very general opinion that If the
National Convention would only
do the right thing on the money
question there was hope Of carrying
New York, and that Connecticut
and New Jersey would certainly be
in the Democratic fold"

An Associated Press dispatch from Tucson says that Judge Bethune. of that district, and associate judge of the supreme court of Arizona, has received notice from the department of justice of a request for the ap- pointment of his successor on the grounds of his inability to perform the duties of the court. Judge Bethune has demanded that an examiner be sent from the depart ment of justice to examine into the facts. It appears from the records that be has disposed of more than three times as much business or cases during the last two years. as did his predecessor in the two pre- vious years. and in fewer years of court. Judge Bethune's sdministrs- ton of his court seems to be very generally acceptable to the people of the entire district and the ma iority of the members of the bar, as we'll ss to the supreme court Republican.

"
 tialiy Touched by Recent Articles.
 RELIABLE. Aug. l6.- Regular cor respondence. Sam Jones noticed with great pleasure that one paper in the territory, the JOURNAL-MISER, can devote one page of the paper to the description of one mining sec ton of miniature mining world.
 The JOCRNAL-MINER'S write up on the Bradshaw mountains, but it did itself credit in what it did write about. It WAS the best and most extensive vet written. But, still. without drawing one particle upon the imagination. volumes can still be written.
 In the article touching upon the Del Pasco mine. owned by Wander bilt and York. the paper said that. when the owners should reach Ihe body of ore for which they have been working several years, expend ing both money and muscle, they would be amply rewarded.
 Capt. Purcelly. who for few years past has been driving cross cut tunnel to tap an ore body which he knew existed on the surface, has reached that and the ore be encoun- tered at the intersection proves to be of greater value than the ore at the surface. The Captain, while tenderly stroking his goatee which grows in profusion on his chin, grew quite excited over the outlook of his mine. Cap. Purcelly, of Waco. Texas. will be in the swim vet.
 Minnehaha Flat is like 6 beehive just now. Thirty men are chlorid- ing through the fat, The miners say there is room for several more. The ive-stamP mill is running night and day.
 Again, let me compliment the JOURNAL MINER for devoting 6 page to her write up on the Bradshaw mines. Two pages won't hurt the interests of the paper nor of the mines. Hoping to see two pages next time, l am, as ever,
