A Woman Fooled Him.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Sept. 22.-By
the arrest of Mrs. Martha Everett, alias
Catching, for having obtained money
bv false pretenses, a novelty in the
way Of confidence games was brought
to light yesterday. a few days ago
John DAILY saw an advertisement in a
local paper to the effect that half in
terest in delicatessen store on Fourth
street was fer sale cheap. Being desir-
Gus of embarking in business, Daily
went to the place and found Mrs. Eve
rett surrounded with every evidence
of q prosperous little business. Along
the walls hung rows of nice fat sau
sagcs, hams and smoked fish, while
the shelves had dozens Of cans OF corned
beef. There were kegs of what seemed
to be tripe and pigs feet, dried beef,
cheese and tins OF picked goods, and
Mrs. Everett showed him large c''l-
signment OF eggs in cases, and barrels
of butter. Daily Immediately closed
the deal and soon afterward took
charge of the store, as his partner
wanted to 90 10 the country for few
days The next morning when be
opened up he made discovery. He
lifted the egg case and found that only
the top layers bore fruit. The rest Of
the pasteboard holes were hollow
mockerieS. Sawdust took the place OF
flesh and bone N the ham covers and
the rolls of butter were empty packages
rolled in damp cheese cloth. Four
hundred bottles wrapped in pinked iis.
sue paper and supposed to contain
wine, proved to be nothing but water.
But the cruelest sham of all was the
sausages. The sleek brown skins we're
filled with wind and each was ball
asted with bullet to prevent the sau-
sage from floating up against the cell
ing like balloon. 1t was the same
way with everything else. The cans
were all empty and the picked trlpe
was delusion and snare. DAILY has
retired from business and will sell the
counter and shelves at a discount.

Mr.. Haryvey and Gold Coin.

Some time ago, Mr.. William e.
Harvey, author OF Coins Financial
School" drew from bank, where he
had deposit, $500 in gold. At
once the Republican gold bug papers
cackled in chorous that Harvey was
preparing for rainy day and had no
faith in his own doctrines. MIR. Har-
vey allowed this exultant sensation to
travel the rounds, but recently saw fit
to explain his conduct in a way that
discounted his adversaries. Writing
to Mr.. Leslie G. Board, OF Hagerstown,
Md, he says:
II was about to make several
speeches on silver snd went to the bank,
where I have much larger deposit
than the 81. 500 in gold / required, and
was told that they were not paying
out gold on checks. | told the cashier
of the bank that | wanted to use the
gold as an object lesson to illustrate
point in my lecture, aod after pronls
ing to return the gold when through
with it they loaned me- the foot OF
gold, or 81, 800. 1 used it on several
occasions. and when returned to
Chicago took the gold back to the
bank as per my promise. Soyou see
the gold was really borrowed, and It
is impossible to get gold from the
banks. In my Coins Sehool OF III.

statement 1 wanted 10 u.s. o foot OF

able my audience to make the calcula-
ton and give every one chance to

Another Dlspenscr Short.

The Columbia Register, OF Wednes.
day, says there was only one disoen-
sary shortage reported on Tuesday,
which, in view OF recent developments
is an evidence of slight i'm prove nent
in the shortage market. Tne last vic,
tim is the dispenser at Spring field, in
Orangeburg County, who is reported
to be behind about $3.50. CLERK
Scruggs is busy figuring out just@hat
the figures actually are. but the above
amount is in the neighborhood OF cor
rectness.
Judge Townsend succeeded in get.
ting true bill against Ex-Dispenser
Evans and the trial will come off at
the next term OF court for Orangeburg
County. He has also instituted suit
against the bondsmen Of Mr.. Evans,
but it is understood that from ouly
one can anything be gotten, though
he is able to stand the whole amouar,
it is said, which is 81, 500.
Judge Townsend in speaking OF the
determination to push all sucn cases
said he feared very much that there
would be some thirty FIVE or forty OF
them before he got through. H. call
ed attention TO the fact at the same
time that the attorney generals Office
could only proceed when specifically
called upon. 1t is the duty OF the
county boards to institute all prose
cutions, it being expressly provided in
Section of the dispensary law. Up
to date this provision has not been
carried out by the boards.
At the Ward Four dispensary OF
Columbia it was stated that the exact
shortage there could not be stated un.
til the stock taking was completed,
which was being done as rapidly as
possible.

SEASONAL REVIEW.
w V%IO N~VOff.J
'i''t per cent of normal.


ff-per cent. Of normal.
AS to the temperature the table
shows that every month except June
was hotter than usual. More extended
records than can be given here show
that the excess averaged 3 degrees ner
day It has been the hottest season
since systematic records have been
kept, a period OF nine years. The table
also shows that May and September
were relatively the hottest months Of
the year
As to rainfall the season can be divi-
ded into three periods. The first In
cludes March, April and May, with
half the usual amount. The second
includes June and the first half OF
July, about six weeks, with decided
excess, amounting to about $50 per
cent. OF the usual rainfall. The third
period includes the first half OF July,
al of August and September to date,
with about 80 per cent. OF the normal
amount.
a brief summary OF crop conditions
during the season, taken from this Sc.
ries of bulletins, shows that the Wea-
ther was favorable for the thorough
preparation Of lands and for early
planting, but that termination was
slow on account OF lack Of moisture,
but that eventually good stands of all
the principal crops were obtained. To
the excessive heat and deficiency in
rainfall in April aud May is ascribed
the poor yield OF small grain; the fail.
ure of the fruit crop, aud the poor and
under-sized tobacco sets, and the COM
plete failure of early gardens.
Beginning with June, there were six
weeks of the best growing weather
that could result from steady warmth
and plenty of rain. During this time
corn and cotton reached condition
of excellence unequalled in many
years past. These two crops, as we'll
as minor ones, grew so fast that they
were by the middle Of July about three
weeks in advance o. their usual devel-
opments, as shown by the early
blooms on cotton, and growth and
ripening of early planted corn.
The excessive heat Immediately fol.
lowing heavy rains in July, is assign
ed by a number of correspondents as
the principal cause of the rapid deteri-
oration in crop conditions, especially
cotton, and for the remainder of the
season abnormally high day tempera-
lures and scarcely any rain are ample
causes for the continued steady de-
cline in condition to date.
To the public spirited men who have
gratuitously given their services as
crop correspondents, are extended the
thanks of the director and of the pub
lie, for the minuteness, the fullness,
correctness and entire trustworthiness
of the current series OF weather and
crop bulletins.
As the current series of bulletins is
discontinued with this issue, CORES
pondents will please discontinue their
week. Y reports J. w. BAUER,

Silver Strong in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. p -Co!. W.
A. Taylor has been giving out some
claims that have annoyed the Repu5-
licans exceedingly. Ordinarily they
would be set down as unwarrsnlei,
but in this year OF uncertainties they
are not to be SO dismissed. He claim:
10 have received reports from Lake
County to the effect that the aggregate
membership Of free silver clubs in
that county is over 1,70O. That IS
three times the number of votes that
Col. Taylor received in that county
four years ago, when he came within
less than 100 votes OF carrying the
State. If such change hos actually
been made there, in the heart Of the
Western reserve, the stronghold OF
the Republicans in this State, 1t means
trouble for the Republicans this fall.
Dls there are reports from other
sources to the effect that the free silver
sentiment. IS qmt7 5 cong all through
the Western reserve, especially among

Political Riot In Indiana.

ANDERSON, Ind, September 25.-A
free silver meeting at Orestes this al
ternoon broke up in riot IN which
twenty people were more or less IN
jured, three, it is feared, fatally. a
parade was one feature and the line OF
march was past the Republican Glass
Workers club house. Fifteen Or
twenty members were seated on the
porch when the parade passed. Some
of the marchers made allusion to the
Mckinley pictures in the windows.
This brought a retort from those on
the porch, and company OF mounted
men, followed by a mob on foot, left
the ran!z> and attacked the little party,
a perfect shower of boulders and bricks
fell on the porch, hitting the men and
crashing through the wea' her
boarding and windows. The fusil-
lade was kept up for some time. and
when the riot was finally quelled and
the three or four hundred men dispers-
ed it was found that about twenty men
had been injured and three, John Nc
Kinley, D. X. Miller and Carl Light
foot, were in a dangerous condition.
It is feared tonight their injuries will
prove fatal. The club house is a
wreck. A number Of arrests were
made, among them +. II. Carver,
postmaster at Summerville.

fled away for future reference, Will
give you one. The month OF Decem-
Der will be one of the most severe that
we have experienced in years: 1t IS
not likely that the storms will be dan
gerous, because they do not come at
the period of the year when dangerous
storms are to be expected. But you
will get all the old fashioned billiards
YOU want during the last part Of that
month. Things will grow interesting
about the 19!h Of tie month, AID will
continue until December 30th. We
will have d good sprinkling Of bad
weather before that, for the winter
will begin early and will be cold
one, but the centre of the worst period
begins December 10. During this
time, the influence Of Mars will be ad-
ded to others, producing commotlon

be felt by all the inhabitants.
