only five killed straight
Garage was the first to accomplish this

with joy in consequence. Wallace Miller,
Of austin, Texas; Christopher ;. Gottlieb,
of Kansas City, NJ >hilp; Harry kirkover,
Of Audubon Club OF Buffalo, and George
Roll of Blue Island, .each in turn killed
his twenty five birds amid tremendous
enthusiasm from tho friends and admirers
of every one
The battle had been in progress for two
days and on its renewal yesterday . tor
rife finish was anticipated by all. Gilbert
the scratch man, dropped two birds carly
in the day. jack Winston was the last Of
the exports to fall down. He lost his
twenty-sccond bird. The pigeons wcro

his bird beautifully. Roll hit his bird

the third round both Miller ana Krkoyvr
missed. They could stand the strain no
longer.
Claragc had to kill his next two birds,
which he did. but was 50 nervous when he
went to the trap for the last time that he
sent Il load Of shot in the ground in front
Of him before calling pull" 1t was five
minutes before the crowd ceased cheering
the victor. George Beck, Of indianapolis
has already challenged tho winner through
the Sportsmrn's Review. The five men
who killed There's birds divided something
like $loo. George Spross, of Toledo
Charlie Grimm, of Spirit Lake. and Rollie
Hckcs, of Dayton, were among tho men
who tied at y. Like Gilbert, the Indian"
from Spirit Lake, drew ''scrcamcr" that
II howitzer could not stop.

He also lost two birds that fell dead ont

Old Hayden Hits the Mark.

We doubtif any speech will be made
that Will go straighter to the heart of the
question thAn that which colored man
who calls himself Old Hayden, and as
such is affectionately regarded by the
members of the Thirteenth Ward Repub-
lican Club, made at tho ratification meet
ing. Hayden was a slave until he was
over 80 years of age; he cannot read or
write, and he is not polished orator;
forcibly.
What he said was in this wise:
The white gentlemen who have talked
before me have told you about sound
money. | don't know much about money !;
amt hardly seen none since the Dlmy
Gratis cut down the Tariff md the wages,
and made all kinds of work scarce. But
Its Old Haydens opinion that thore ain t
no money that isn't sound unless its
counterfeit. A grcenback's sound money,
and SOS Il silver dollar, and so five
dollar gold piece. And the Republican
party made 'em sound. l don't care
nothing about your currency plank.
What | care about is work; when there
is plenty Of work there is plenty Of money
and it's sound money when you go to
buy groceries and stuff with It, Nlstah
Mckinley means Protection; Protection
means plenty Of work, plenty of money.
IHcy ttll INC tnlb olu hayden must TURN
Dimycrat now cause the Republicans is
for gold money. Well, l amt seen no gold
money for u long time; if they is going to
pay mcin gold it's all right-jess is soon
take gold rs silvcr-but | can't get neither
gold or silver without work. The Rcpub-
lican platform says, give Old Hayden
work that's what it says. That's what
Protection means.
When Harrison was President and the
Mckinley bill was III force Old Hayden
didn't have an idle minute. Fore he got,
up in the mornn' some one was at his
doah, sayin'; Hayden, can't you come
and work for me today" And the pay
was in sound money-samc money Us is
lynn idle in banks to-day instead of max
ing itself useful in the factories and stores
The work question is on top. Settle it
and the money question settles itself Give
Old Hayden work to do, and he'll SEQ that
he Scis money.
This, we take it, is going to the root of
the matter. Start the mills and furnaces
again; set the wheels rolling in the fac
tories; make demand for more meat and
flour from people who have been living on
Il low scale because their incomes have
been on IL low scale, and there will bp no
grumbling about the quality of currency
that is offered in pay for it. What "Oll
Hayden wants is what the country wants
more work for Americans to do. Tho
money of to-day will be good enough for
the enlarged business that Protection will
insure

PETERSBURG, VA, Aug. 1.-The droug t
In the counties of outl side Virginia
is proving most ruinouS to the crops and
the loss to The farmers will be incalculable.
No rain of consequence has fallen for
more than month and the ground is hard
and dry. All the smaller streams ere dry
ing up, and in some localities creeks that
have never before been known to become
dry now look as if they never had water
In them The corn is fairly burning up
under the scorching rays OF the sun, The
car Is whitening hence there will be a
short yield. Il is not thought that half IL
crop will be made.
One of the most prominent farmers on
James: river said to-day that If II service.
able rain did not fall within the next six
OF seven days the damage TO tho corn crop
would be twenty five per cent. greater.
Peanuts are also suffering greatly for rain
and the crop will undoubtedly be II short
one There is no growth Of the nut and
the vines are AL turning yellow. 1t is said
that scarcely half crop Of tobacco will be
made, and the same is the unpromising
condition in the cotton crop. The cotton
stalks arc small and there is no growth Of
tho bolls, very few of them being on the
stalks. In tho woods and fields the stubble
and underground is so dry that the least
spark will cause 1t to ignite. In different
places wells are drying up and some far
mers find it difficult to water their stock.
