The Highest Ever Recorded in This

third decade of July.

abundant rain has fallen aud all
crops are in a fiourishing condi-
ton. Cotton is fruiting nicely, the
plant healthy and strong and out
look the most favorable for years.
Early corn is made and a good crop
while late corn promises even better
In all other portions of the State,
however, the outlook is very dis
couraging. cotton is shedding its
leaves and squares and has ceased
growing. 1t is opening rapidly and
Old corn is ruined and late corn
on the verge of destruction. III
some localities all crops are fail

Sweet potatoes and peas are being
injured by dry weather, pastures
and prairie grasses are destroyed
by heat. Stock water is becoming
scarce and in localities wells are
falling. The outlook is indeed dis
couraging and a general soaking
rain is greatly needed.

In 1868, Immediately after her mar
riage, she, with her husband, came
to this country. Here with US she
has never been a stranger Though
in foreign land all have known and
loved her. In her was realized the
true wife and ideal mother Her
very life belonged to those she
loved. For them she lived, making
their people her people and their
God her God. Not her family alone
will mourn for her. A thousand in
the obscurest walks of life will feel
the moistened eye at the recollection
of kind word and generous act
done by her in the long ago. If ever
woman did, she lived to bless man
kind.
At a time when hearts will bleed
and all but break, consolation can
only come from Him to whom the
soul must for eternity return.
Grief is but natural, but in this

WORK OF THE CONFERENCE
RECENTLY HELD IN
MILWAUK EE.
DR.. Becker, of Pine Bluff, Tells
What They Did and How
They Did It.-An In
feresting Inter
VleWs

Rev. DR.. f. Becker, rabbi of the
Jewish congregation of Pine Bluff, is
back from Milwaukee, where he went
to attend the central conference OF
American Rabbits.
The Doctor was seen this morning
by a GRAPHIC reporter, and accord
ing to his promise, gave someimpor-
tant and interesting information as
to what was done at the meeting.
Zone of the most important meas
ures introduced. said the Doctor,
land OF especial interest to our peo-
pie, was defeated. An effort was
made to change the time OF meeting
from July to December. By doing so
the Southern people would have an
opportunity for entertaining the con-
ference. l suspect that our North
ern brothers feared that one taste Of
Southern hospitality would prove
too great a temptation, and that
the association would continue to
meet South, having tried 1t once. =
And so the measure was de.
feated?"
Eyes; they seemed to think sum-
mer the only time for meeting"
"N hat about the meeting in gem
eral?"
"Well, things moved on more har-
moniouslv than was expected. To
tell the truth, it had been whispered
around that Drs. Wise and Hirsch
would take their difficulties to the
floor OF the conference, but they
didn't, and everything wentsmooth-
ily."
"What important measures OF
general interest were discussed and
adopted?'
ooh, quite a number. To begin
with, the constitution and bylaws
were revised, giving us much more
satisfactory code"
"As a rule, Doctor" asked the re-
por ter, "does the Jewish church at
taeh as much Importance to Sab
bath school work as do the other
sccts?"
Yes, indeed; and that subject re-
ceived particular attention in Mil
waukee. An organic curriculum was
discussed and passed for final adop-
ton by the congregations. In mat
ters of Jewish education, forms and
formulas were adopted for accepting
prosely ties to Judaism.
"What was done.in regard to jew
ish charitable Institutions"
1--WE don't believein blowing about
such things to the world, but OF
course, they received the considera-
ton due. The fund for INDECENT min
listers and families was increased and
nut in shape. l. was one of the
most important measures OF that
class.
"What other matters of general
interest were disposed OFF,
"A great many. A new hymn book
was attended to. 1t was decided to
send delegates to the congress o.
religions to be held In Paris in 1900
and then the rabbis took a hand IL
politics and advocated strongly the
appointment OF board OF arbitra
tion to act in disputes between this
country and Great Britain"

FORTY MILES OF ROAD DESTROYED

DENVER, July 30.-The fact has just
become known here that last Saturdays
flood entirely destroyed the Catslrill
branch of the Union Pacific, Denver
and Gulf road 40 miles in length, run
ming from Trinidad, Colo, to the Max
well land grant in New Mexico. 1t was
known that the road was disabled, that
the wires being down the extent of dam
age was not learned until party of in
spectors came in. So complete has been
the destruction of the roadbed that the
receivers said that they thought the old
line would be abandoned and new
survey made over more desirable
route The line is valuable one, as
nearly all the railroad ties used in this
section of the country come from the
vicinity of Catskill.
