Lackawanna and Western officials,
through their foreman. w. Il. Thornton,
caused the arres: of five young fel-
lows and they were given a hearing be-
fore Alderman John last evening. Of
ficer Lowry was present. He recOg-
nized the boys and sought to remind
them of their meeting in the store. But
despite all statements by the officer
each boy claimed that he had never met
the blue coat, neither had they any
trouble in any candy store with any
counterfeit coin. The sad thing about
1t is that the boys are all under IA years
of age. They refused to commit them
selves, however, and the alderman
committed them to the West Side sta
tion house. They slept there last night,
two in one cell. three in another. in the
station house.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The Weather Bureau, at Seattle,
furnishes the STANDARD with the
following crop bulletin for the week
ending July 9th.
A decided change in the tempera-
ture has taken place during the past
week, especially during the later part
Of it, the average being nearly ten de-
grees lower than last week. More or
less smoke has continued in the at
mosphere, being at times so dense as
to obscure the sun, and during the
last half of the week there was consid.
cradle clOudiness, and, on the coast,
fog in the morning. There has been
no rain in either eastern or western
section during the week, and seven
weeks have now elapsed since the be-
ginning of the drou,h. One of our
oldest pioneers, Mr.. r. NJ. Hoskinson,
of Madrone, Kitsap county, who has
kept a complete record of temperature
and rainfall since his settlement in the
State, says that this is the greatest
drouth since 1883. In that year the
rainfall was only OBJ of an inch from
June 9th to Sept. 9th, 81 days.
A high wind is reported to have &C.
Cured in Adams and Spokane coun-
ties on the 2lst, doing much damage
to standing wheat, blowing off great
deal Of fruit, and, in some places, up.
roofing vegetables.
On account OF the cloudiness and
fcooler weather, and also the moisture
rom fogs and dew in the western part
Of the State the past week has not
been so unfavorable as the preceding
ones to the progress of the crops; still,
the damage of former weeks was not
repaired. Oats are not filling we'll, as
general thing. and are expected to
be shrunken. Potatoes, especially on
the uplands, will be small, and few
to the hill. Unless rain occurs soon
there will be no second crop of hay
worth speaking Of. Pastures have be-
come very dry and scant. Harvesting
is progressing rapidly in the eastern
part of the State. The dry and hot
season has been very unfavorable to
wheat. Except in favored localities
the grain will be much shrunken and
the yield light. The irrigated sections
of the Yakima valley have, of course,
suffered very little, and from Klickitat
county, also, there have been no I'M
favorable reports.

ARENIC GIANTS STRIKE HANDS
The Great FOrePaugh and Sells
Brothers Famous Shows COlOs-
sally United.


After all, the reports OF the conjunc-
ton of those great luminaries Of the
circus business, ]. A. Bailey and
Ephraim, Lewis and Peter Sells, which
was at first laughed down the wind
as Dame Rumor's most preposterous
fake, turns out to be true, and based
upon a consolidation of such vast
proportions, possibilities and resources
as to astOund old-time and ordinary
managers, justify immense anticipa-
ton. and suggest far-reaching revolu-
ti0nary effects in the tented field. To
this tremendous consolidation of wild
beasts, arenic features, spectacular dis
plays, horses, tents, cars, and what
not, Mr.. Bailey contributes the original
and famous Adam Forepaugh menag-
erie and circus, which he purchased
when sold as provided for in its
founders and sole proprietor's will.
The Sells Brothers, on their part, add
their entire arenic resources, as repre-
sented in their enormous united rail-
road shows, which have achieved
popularity and success in both the
widest domestic and foreign fields.
The result is an overwhelming and
unparalleled aggregation. backed by
ample capital, and directed by the
most capable. sagacious, and enter
prising proprietOrs and managers in
the business. The giants, instead of
distracting and wasting their energies
in Improbable opposition. strike hands
to give the public double what either
has heretofore offered, and yet at the
same price of admission heretofore
charged by each-a wise and generous
policy, inuring greatly to the ad-
vantage and pleasure of every patron.
which means pretty much everybody.
These great united shows, collectively
forming the most stupendous and
complete exhibition of the kind on
earth, are to appear for the first time in
Olympia on Wednesday, Aug, 18th
We shall refer to some of the many
most notable attractions later. Mean
time prepare yourselves to attend snt

WORDS OF LOYALTY.
TEXT OF BRYAN'S FAMOUS MES
SAGE TOTHE POPULISTS.

True 10 the Chicago PIattorm-The
The Cause oG silver Will Receive
His lnaividcd Efforts Money
Question the Paramount Issue
A Test Of Ills Manhood.
! The contents of the now famous dis.
patch which William J. Bryan sent to
Senator Jones, Chairman Of the DEM
ocratic National Committee, in which
he pointed out that he could not
abandon his associate on the ticket,
have at last been learned from a gen.
tleman of high political standing.
1t is an index to the loyal and
sterling character OF the Democratic
aspirant for the highest office within
the gilt OF the people. The message
was as follows:
Considering all the circumstances
and conditions, | conclude that the
Populist convention should not con-
slider my name for Presidential candi-
date, but if it determines to nominate
me, Notwithstanding this declaration,
that there may be no misunderstand
ing, | desire in advance to say that |
shall not during the campaign discuss
anv other issues than those outlined
in the Chicago platform. l desire
above everything else to be instru-
mental in having enacted into the laws
of the United States the free and I'M
limited coinage of gold and silver at
the present ratio of lG TO |, without
awaiting the consent OF any other
country.
The Republican platform, adopted
at st. Louis, asserts that the bimetalllc
system should be restored, but that
the American people are helpless to
bring about bimetallism for themselves
until foreign nations are willing to as
sist. The American people cannot
afford to surrender the right to legislate
for themselves on all questions, and
so long as the right is disputed it sur
passes all others in Importance. The
Populist platform presents several new
issues to discuss, which during this
campaign will, in my judgment, en-
danger the success OF our cause. | am
not willing to be party to anything
which will divert attention from the
money question. Nor am | willing to
be placed in the attitude of securing
help from other political organization
by sacrificing my associate upon the
ticket. He is as squarely upon the
Chicago platform as l am myself, and
he has defended the cause OF bimetal-
lsm against much greater opposition
than have the men of the West and
the South | desire to be left free to
support Sewall during the campaign.
1t is due to myself and the peoples
convention that there should be most
outspoken frankness between us.
"To this Dispatch" said the gentle
man, "there was attached a postscript
requesting that the statement be read
to the convention before the ballot was
commenced. This request was not,
however, complied with.
