The Apple Crop.

throughout the States of chief
commercial production, including
New England and New York, the
crop OF winter apples is large, accord
ing to reports, which place the ag
gregate at shade under $4,000, 900
barrels for all of the United States
against 6O,5OO,OOO barrels in 1895
and s., 100000 barrels two years ago
The crop in New England, New York,
Michigan and parts of few other
States is phenomenal. New Eng
land and New York have $4,000, 900
barrels. against little more than
1000. 900 year ago, while Michigan
is harvesting the greatest crop of fine
fruit ever secured in taat state. The
Canada crop is among the largest on
record. Exports from the Atlantic
coast are already 1000, 900 barrels.

A PROPOSITION has been made to 80
change our method of dividing time
as to have thirteen months in the
year. Each of the first twelve months
would have twenty-eight days or four
weeks. The thirteenth month would
usually have twenty-nine days, but on
leap years would have thirty days.
If the year should come in on Sun
day, every month would come in on
Sunday. The advantages claimed
are considerable, but it is doubtful
whether the Inconvenience of the
change will not outweigh other, con-
siderations in public estimation.

The great financial controversy of
1896 has value as an educational
factor in the lives and mental dew
elopment of our own people. It is
true that the larger portion of the in
formation now SO worldly sown
broadcast will DO forgotten as easily
as it was gathered. A year from to-
day the men who now have the silver
question, down to the minutest par
ticular, at their tongues end, will
have lost so much of its detail that
they would cut but sorry figure in
an arg ument on the subject, but, for
all that, some of it will remain, and
generally, in matters of this kind, the
froth and foam of superfuous infor
nation escapes, leaving the solid
portion as permenant addition to
the individual and collective wisdom
of the race. Men willprobably for
get how much silver was mined and
how much was minted in the wear
1895, but they will not forget that an
attempt to substitute cheap money
for good money was an ill advised
and unwise movement, and this will
be far better than a recollection CT
the details without a comprehension
OF the principle involved. There is a
striking similarity in this particular,
after all, between this style of popular
education and that acquired in schools
and from text books. By the old
fashion of solidifying carbonic acid
gas the substance to be operated on
was first converted into LIQUID bv
tremendous pressure. This was
suddenly removed, when a large part
Of the gas instantaneously escaped in
to the air, thus causing so great an
abstraction of heat from that which
remained that it became a spongy
solid, somewhat resembling moist
snow. So the knowledge of our /
schoolboy days, when let loose in the |
world moetly evaporates, but that
shlch remains is generally of some
9alue, and thus also it is with the in
formation picked up in a political
controversy like the present-the
most OF it escapes, but that which is
eft is worth having and Keeping

What the Verdict Means.

Itmeans first and most important Of
ali, that the doctrine of States Rights
which was shot to death in the war
of the Rebellion will not be suffered
to come to life again.
It means that this is a government
of law and that Anarchy shall have
no place in our nation.
1t means the triumph of honesty
and integrity and that the people of
this land will not tolerate reputation,
public or private, in any form.
It means the protection of our
American industries, the opening of
the closed and the building of new
factories that American labor may
have employment.
It means that our people frown up
on the attempts of the demagogue to
create an era of dissatisfaction and to
array one class OF cltlZenS against
another.
It means that We shall have at the
head of the government men of ex-
perience and of tried and proved
ability.
It means for our young men that |
sterling principle is greater power
to win votes and elevate to Office than
frantic appeals, the use of blasphem-
ous figures of speech and rushing
rom one end of the land to the other
and deluging the country with food

A Fnnnel-Shaped Cloud Creates Havoc
Near Lincoln.
Lincoln, Nsb., May pa cyclone
swept this section this afternoon.
A funnel shaped cloud shot down.
ward from the storm center and a
general stampede of citizens for
caves and cellars ensued. At the
school house the children fed panic,
stricken to the furnace room, amid
the widest confusion, and a number
Of the little ones were hurt.
The cyclone struck the ground
north OF the town. Its course was
northwest. The path of the storm
was from 200 to 800 yards wide, and
everything in this path was razed to
the ground including several houses.
Large trees along the highway ad-
jacent were torn and twisted out of
the ground.
Carl johnson, a prominent farmer,
was caught in the twister. He had
a team attached to a wagon. He en-.
deavored to skirt the storm by drlv-
ing in a meadow to the westward,
but before he could lash his horses
out OF the path of the rapidly ap
preaching hurricane, he was caught
in its vortex, and man horses and
wagon were sent through space to-
gether with fences, boards, posts,
wire snd other debris. His clothes
were tsrn from his back. and he re-.
ceived q number of wounds. At
times the wind raised him high in
the air and then dropped him back
to earth, only to catch him up
again. and when the storm finally
passed over him he vas $50 yards OF
more from where the storm first
struck him. The wagon was com,
pletely demolished.
After traversing q distance OF
about two miles the funnel. shaped
cloud arose as suddenly as it had
shot down to the earth and at a
point five or six miles farther to the
north dropped again to earth, where
it is feared great damage and loss OF
life resulted.
The storm struck Lincoln at 4:45
and ragged with unabsted violence
twenty Eve minutes. During this
period rain fell as from a cloud
burst, accompanied by hail. The
prevailing drift of the wind was
from tho southwest, but at times il
seemed to form eddies between the
business blocks and was accompa
MED by cYclonic features. Build
ings were unroofed and torn down
cornices swept from roofs INTO th'
streets and the residence portion o
the city nearly denuded of trees
The greatest damage was at th'
State Hospital for the Insane, wher'
many of the larger buildings wer'
unroofed. The damage will b.
very heavy.
The damage in the city will prob
ably reach $4,000, and may b.
much heavier, as the suburban dis
tricts are yet cut off from communi
cation. A number of people wer'
severely injured.
