the past few days has made excellent
progress. Rye is headed OH, we'll and
promises 10 be an extraordinary crop
Old meadows are badly damaged by
the cut-worms, and as much of the fall
clover seeding was winter-killed, the
hay crop will be lighter than was
promised month ago. There has been
some damage to fruit from the cool
weather, but generally it is in very
good condition.
In the middle section farmers have
taken advantage OF the dry weather
to work their corn and finish potato
planting. All crops are growing nicely
except corn, which needs more sun
shine and warm weather The cut
wo'ms have practically ruined a large
proportion OF the corn planted and
much will be replanted and some will
be ploughed up and put in buckwheat
Oats have made great progress and are
lodging, especially in bottom lands.
Rye is headed and in excellent shape
ana many observers report that the
heaviest crop for many years is prom
lSed. Wheat is heading and promises
much better than early in the season
Fruit is generally in good condition
though some observers report tho
leaves and young fruit drying up on
the trees and assign the continued dry
weather OF last fall and winter as the
cause
In the southern section the Weather

grain than for corn, which needs sun

OF the recent heavy rains the ground

coming on in excellent shape. although
there is some complaint of seed rotting

crop. Reports indicate that the hay
crop will be lighter Than was promised

Laid to Rest,

All that was mortal of the late Gov
ernor or Nevada was laid with appro-
pirate ceremonies Wednesday in a
grave in the Masonic cemetery at Car
son. The program as published by
the committees having the matter in
charge, was carried out in every de-
tail. ThOceremonies, without being
ostentatious were deeply impressive
for they indicated such respect for the
memory Of the dead as could only have
been inspired by an upright and hon
orable ife-such as characterized the
career Of the late Chief Executive of
the commonwealth.
1t was the largest military and civic
demonstration ever witnessed in the
State. The funeral services were
held at the Capitol, and the religious
portion was conducted jointly by the
ministers of the different denomina-
tons in Carson City. This was in ac-
cordance with the request of the de-
ceased, who was non-sectarIan in his
religious views, and friendly and lib
eral to all eccles iastical organizations
The Masonic fraternity was largely
represented, and the exercises at the
grave were conducted by the Grand

Gold Standard Republicans.

The Kentucky Republicans met III
convention at Louisville yesterday
and declared for Bradley as their
first choice for President, and Nc.
Kinley second. The money plank is
as follows: @We are opposed TO the
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
believing it would involve the country
in financial ruin. The gold dollar is
the best dollar and least liable to
fluctuations. and for these reasons
and in order to conform our standard
to that OF the other great commercial
nations, we favor it as the standard
money Of the United States, and
maintaining on a parity with it every
other dollar, either silver or paper"
At the New Jersey Republican
convention held at f1Tenton. the fol.
lowing resolution ON che money ques.
ton was unanimously adopted: "The
standard Of value Of this country and
other principal commercial nations of
the world is gold. Wages and prices
have been made and fixed in accord
aDce with this standard, and the vel
fare OF the people demands it shall be
maintained. We regard the agita.
ton for the free coinage Of silver as n
serious obstacle to our country's
prosperity"

Flags at Half Mast.

The custom of flying a flag half
mast high us mark Of mourning and
respect, arose out Of the old naval and
military practice Of lowering the flag
in time of war as a sign of submission
The vanquished always lowered his
flag. while the victor huttered his own
flag above it from the same staff.
To lower flag, therefore, is a token
of respect to ono's superior and sig
nal of mourning and distress.
