Favoring Weather Conditions and
Everything Growing Rapidly.
The following bunetin, based on the
reports of the directors of the several
climate and crop sections, is furnished
for the information of the public:
The weather conditions of the week have
been generally favorable TO agricultural in
terests over the greater portion of the
country. There has been too much rain.
however, In New England and the northern
portions of the Middle Atlantic States
where IL has also been rather cool, while
over portions OF the lower Ohio valley. west
ern Tennessee and northeastern Missouri
rain Is much needed. Except over limited
areas rains would also prove generally bene-
fcial to growing crops In the central valleys
of the week was particularly favorable In
the States OF the upper Mississppiand Mis-
souri, valleys. In Nebraska the week was
the most favorable of the season. Corn,
while generally backward, has made good
progress In the principal corn States under
the favorable weather conditions OF the past
week. marked Improvement in the con-
dition of the crop is reported from Mis-
souri, Kansas and Nebraska, and generally
throughout the central valleys improvement
Is reported. Cold weather and frosts of pre-
vious weeks have caused serious injury in
Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota,
and the unreasonable cool weather of the
past week In New England and the northern
portions OF the middle Atlantic States and
upper Ohio valley has retarded the progress
of corn. In these last named districts the
crop Is backward and the plant looks yellow,
while considerable rOtting in the hill Is re-
ported from New England. There has been
a general improvement I'm the condition of
cotton throughout the cotton belt. the i'm
provement being most marked In South Car
olina and Georgia. The crop Is generally
clean and insects less numerous. In Texas
the crop needs warm; dry weather over the
northern portions OF the State where growth
has been slow and some replanting contin-
uas while showers would prove beneficial in
other sections OF the State. Winter wheat
has. except on the Pacific coast, continued
to improve. Harvest Is now in progress In
the southern portion Of Kansas. Missouri
and Illinois, and Is nearing completion In
some of the more southerly States.

EXCURSIONS ON THE LAKE.
Macatawa to Have Hordes of Visitors
from the West.

from the west.
A ride across Lake Michigan from Chi
cago to beautiful Macatawa Park, nine
ty-eight miles and return, is part of the
program mapped out for this summer by
hosts Of people from Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa and Wisconsin. Thousands of vis-
itors come to Chicago each season upon
their vacation trips, and naturally the
fame of Macatawa Park-the most popu-
lar, most pleasing and most easily accessi-
bic of all Michigan's famous west-shore
resorts-has attracted them. The Hol-
land Chicago line boats, comprising the
superb steamers, 800 City" and City of
Holland" sail daily from the docks at No.
/ Stare street. and on Saturdays make an
extra daylight trip at 8 a. III. These two
boats are the queens of the Chicago cross
lake fleet; and Manager Owen says that
the season of '97 promises more visitors
TO Macatawa from the west than ever be-
fore. Indeed, it is not strange; for the
individual tourist or whole parties Of
pleasure seekers can make the trip at a
less expense than it would cost to spend
an equal time ON land. And a sail on
Lake Michigan is something that is so
seldom enjoyed by the average person,
from either city or country, that when
the opportunity is afforded it is eagerly
accepted.
Macatawa's pine-clad hills and shady
dells will see more tenting parties this
summer than any other resort on the
shore. For those desiring an extended
stay, roomy cottages or the services Of
three excellent hotels are offered, at min
imum expense. The place has the gay
aspect of the celebrated watering places
of the East. Hundreds Of regular patrons
own their own cottages, and in the height
of the season the Parks population will
reach 5000 or 1000. A postal card re-
quest will secure copy of the beautiful
souvenir book issued by the boat COM

DEATH RAvAoEs CUBA.
Mortality I'm the Island IL Now More
than 1000 Daily.


A New York Herald correspondent
writes from Havana: "More than thou
sand persons die every day In Cuba as q
result of the famine and disease, due to
Gen. Weyler's enforced reconcentration
of pacifcos. Gen. Weyler is reaping his
crop and the result will horrify the world.
This fertile land is weary beyond measure
of Weyler and war. Next month there
cannot but be another jump In the death
rate. In May it was more than twice ~
great as it was in March. Now come the
rains, and with them an increase in yell
low fever, typhus, which is already in the
field, and the enteric disorders to which
concentrates are particularly liable. 1t
was said weeks ago that the logical end
of Gen. Weylers policy was extermina-
ton, and now send proof that it is true.
Even were war stopped now there would
be $4,000 or $4,000 deaths before bet
tered condition of the stricken popula-
ton could check the march of the de-
stroyer. l say this without regard to
Spanish or rebel. The proof that it 10
true is here"

Chicago and vicinity "Wednesday after
noon and night was visited by terrific
thunderstorm. Strange visitant with the
rain was hail which fell heavily in the
south end of the city. Terrifying light
ming dashed and played queer freaks, and
thunder roared. Fatalities were supple
mented by damage to property and by
broken and surcharged overhead wires.
Persons were shocked and injured by the
electric fluid. The rain fell in sheets and
choked up sewers and flooded Easements
over the city.
drought and the overcharged condition OF
the AIR, was something marvellous. 1t had
another side than the spectacular. AT
the Harrison street bridge the lightning
became enamored of the iron girders OF
the structure, and completing circui.
with the ground wires Of the trolley Line,
turned the bridge into a mighty magnet.
George Brown, driver, urged his horse
out upon the bridge in spite of the blue
flames that were playing along the iron
rods The animal was hardly upon the
structure before the electric fluid leaped
through the iron calks Of its shoes and
it went down in heap, stone dead. The
draw was finally swung open and the
circuit broken.
Lightning struck several electric street
cars, enc of which was thrown from the
track by the shock. Lightning ran along
the cable in the power house of the Met
ropolitan elevated electric road and caus-
ed blaze in the repair shop. The rainfall
lasted almost necessarily from 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon until midnight.

constitutions, many of them to die. The
total loss, then, to the Spanish army ag-
gregates more than 1900, or more than
- per cent of the whole.
Against this the Spanish claim to have
killed in battle 212 rebel officers and 49,
091 men. to have wounded Al officers and
3,522 men. to have taken prisoners "a
officers and OH men, and to have received
% officers and 2,594 men who have vol
unfairly surrendered. These figures. es-
pecially those of the killed, must be taken
with much allowance. remembering that
in the Ten Years War the Spaniards
claimed to have killed and captured more
rebels than the whole population of the
island. But even taking them at their
face value, they show n total loss to the
insurgents of only 2O.457. or considera-
bly, less than half the Spanish losses. No
wonder that, in view of this showing,
Gen. Weyler realizes that he has failed.

FATAL END OF A FEUD.
Mayor Richards Of Bunker Hill Sho
by Editor HedIey of the Gazette.

Dy EGitOr Heuiey Ot Nne SaZettc.
Bunker Hill, H., is in mourning for
Mayor John r. Richards, and Capt. Fen
wick Y. Hedley, editor OF the Bunker Hill
Gazette, is accused of the murder.
A feud of many years duration ended
Saturday noon, when the two men met in
the street. After few angry words had
been passed Hedley shot Richards. One
bullet wounded his arm. The other pass
ed through his liver and lodged in the
spine. His wound caused his death six
hours later.
Hedley's friends and witnesses of the
shooting assert that it was done in self
defense. In extenuat tion of the act II is
said, also. that several times in the past
Richards had insuhed the editor and twice
knocked him down. Hedley had not re-
taliated.
Saturday the men met. Richards open
ed the conversation with these words:
''Hedey, why don't yoI speak to me,
according to our agreement
''I'll speak to you when you speak to
me first" was the reply.
An Assault Alleged.
Mayor Richards. it is said, then assault
ed Hedney, knocking him down. AS he
rose. il is further asserted, Richards pick
ed up a rake, when the editor drew re-
yolver.
"Shoot. you coward; dare you to
shoot IL is said was tauntingly remark
ed by Mayor Richards, as he moved for
ward, when Hedley shot twice in success
sion
Hedley at once delivered himself to the
authorities and was taken TO Car.inville
and paced under bopd of $1,000.
Cnuses of the Enniity.
The trouble between the men started
with politics. Their differences during
the last campaign were partly patched up
throu, IN the intervention of friends. who
induced them TO sign an agreement con-
aaining certain stipulations, one of which
was that they should speak to each other
On public.
Behind all this there is woman. Miss
Ella Brown was Richards stenographer.
Richards wished to marry her. Hedley
was organist of the church choir in which
Miss Brown was the soprano, and thus
they were thrown much together. Rich
ards forbade Hedley TO have anything to
do with the young woman, as he was a
distant relative and aided in the financial
support of the Brown family.
Miss Brown was one of the witnesses
of the shooting and is prostrated
