Crops in Good Condition.

Reports from every county in the state
show that the crop conditions east of the
Jim River are as favorable as any ever re-
corded, while west of the Jim they are
geed, though rain is needed. Lincoln,
Minnehaha, Moody, Lake, McCook, Brook
ings, Hamlin, Codington, Sphinx, Hughes,
Brulle, Douglas and Kingsbury report
most favorable conditions, fine stand of
grain, larger acreage than hitherto, and the
best of feeling among the farmers. Beadle,
Bon Homme, Dawson, Hutchinson, Jer-
auld, Sanborn and Turner report good
progress 30 far, but the ground is getting
dry and rain is needed. The total report
from the state shows that the outlook is as
good or better than we have had for several
years.

ST. LOUIS. Mo, April 10-An I'M
known. finely dressed woman threw two
children from the ferry boat DR.. Hill into
the Mississippi River this morning and
then jumped in after them. The children
were rescued, but the woman was drowned
For a few moments there was great con-

rushed up and down the decks in wildly
excited way, and the crew did not seem to
know at first what to do. A man who was
standing near the woman when she threw
the first child in attemp pied to seize her,
but she eluded him, and with cry tossed
the child over the side.
Before any one could stop her she
jumped into the river and speedily drifted
away. Finally, after much trouble and
delay, boat was lowered and pulled to
the rescue of the three people. The
woman deliberately kept her head under
the water and was drowned before the
boat reached her. The struggles of the
two children, however, kept them afioat
until they were picked up.
The two little ones were badly fright
ened and refused to say VINO they were.
The passengers say that the woman acted
queerly when she came on the boat, and
it is generally believed that she was crazy

KNOXVILLE, TENN, April 1o.-The
loss OF life at the big fire on Thursday was
greater than at first supposed. 1t was
thought that nearly all the guests of the
Knox Hotel had succeeded in making
their escape, but an investigation made
since the fire leads to the belief that many
OF the guests persisted in the burning
building. It was known that when the
fire broke out there were fifty-two guests
IN the hotel and so far but thirty-five have
been accounted for. The hotel register
was burned and il is impossible to tell
just what the loss of life has been.
Those known to have perished in the
flames are: A. E. Weeks of Locke, N. Y,
drummer; G. w. Roberts of Pulaski
Tenn, lightning-rod agent; A. E. Will
iams of Springfield, Mass, retired
merchant.
A search of the ruins now in progress
has resulted in the discovery of several
bodies. all of which have been so badly

P1TTSBURG, Pa, April 10.-An officer
OF the Carnegie Steel Comran announces
that unless the Government changes its
attitude on the subject of the armor plate
bids the plant of the company at Home
stead will be closed in June and a large
mum Der OF men thrown out of work. 1t is
said that the armor plate plant at Beth
lehem will be closed also.
The Carnegie people assert that the
Government has not acted Justly in the
matter OF armor plate, and feel bitterly
toward The Illinois Steel COMPANY which
they claim is responsible for the trouble.
They point out that when bids were called
for to supply 5000 tons of armor plate for
bate ships on Thursday there was but one
bidder, the Illinois Steel Company, and
even its bid was SO irregular that it was
thrown out. They say that the require.
ments and price allowed are such that
they are una bic to enter as competitors.

Markets. Of England.
NEW YORK, N. Y, April 10-Califor-
MIA oranges and grapes are driving the
European crops from the English market
and realizing prices satisfactory both to
shippers and middlemen.
The only explanation to be obtained
among the wholesale fruit-dealers of this
city is that the English are more partial
to California fruits than are the American
people themselves, and that consequently
1t is necessary to put prohibitive tariff
upon the European product in order to
iorce an American market for the Amer
lean growers.
1t is noteworthy in this connection that
the average retail price OF California fruits
in London Is from 10 TO Is per cent lower
than charged In New York. Chicago and
other American cities for the products of

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1O.-The
friends of Representative Bailey, the

clined to be indignant over the reports
that have been sent broadcast to the effect
that in declining an invitation to dine at

self from social events at the White

sonal use of the remedy and knowledge
of the remarkable cures it has per-
formed. 1 believe it has no equal in
curing diseases of the nervous system
and in building up those who are weak
and out of health. 1t has cured several
friends of mine of rheumatism in it's
worst form, and have no hesitancy in
recommending it to all afflicted with
that disease. Very truly yours,
William w. Henry.
Desperate diseases, such as rheuma-
tism, blood impurity, neuralgia or nerv-
Gus debility, that bring down the
strength of the whole body can not be
got rid of as ons does a scratch or a
sprain, by letting them cure themselves.
Heart weakness, kidney disease, chro-
mis- headaches and enlarged liver and
spleen are not self-terminatng d'sord-
ers. Like all the desperate diseases,
they demand a thoughtful, scientific
remedy.
There never has been a remedy so
thoroughly grounded in a knowledge of
what the sick body needs in these di-
seases as Paine's celery compound.
Paine's celery compound is the re-
markable result of profound investiga-
ton and close medical study by that
eminent professor of the Dartmouth
and Vermont medical schools Prof. Ed

General Winiam w. Henry, whom the
president has appointed to be consul to
Quebec, has been grand master of a
grand lodge of Masons, is a member of
the /. 0. o. f. and G.. A. r., having been
the second to be elected department
commander in his state of Vermont.
His war record was brilliant. En-
listing as a private, he was engaged in
the first battle of Bull Pun. He was
promoted for bravery to first lieuten-
ant, soon rose to be major, was promot-
ed to a lieutenant colonelcy; then be-
came colonel, and in 1865 was breveted
brigadier general for meritorious SER
vice during the war. He was wounded
at the battles of Cold Harbor, Monaca-
cy, and four times at the battle of Ce-
dar Creek. He has been state senator
from two different districts, was U. S.
marshal for seven years, and mayor of
Burlington for two terms.

1t is the greatest nerve invigorator,
blood purifier and regulator for the i'm
portant organs of the body that has
ever come to light.
The languor the nervousness and the
pain in the region of the heart or the
kidneys are cured by Paine's celery
compound because the origin of these
disorders is easily traced to an impov-
erished condition of the nerves and a
poor state of the blood.
This great invigorator does nothing
at haphazard. Its aim is to feed the
exhausted nervous tissues as SOundlY
and rapidly as is consistent with heal
thy digestion and assimilation, and step
by step with this building-up process
all over the body goes that other fully
as vital work of driving out every trace
of vicious humor and poisonous matter
from the blood.
In every case-and there are thou
sands of such cases throughout the
country-where Paine's celery COM
pound has cured rheumatism, nervous
prostration, neuralgia or that very
common rundown" condton-.in
every case recovery has been by this
same building-up process, that omits
no step in making the cure lasting and
for a lifetime.

The Albany Evening Journal of
Aug. 81 publishes the following regard
ing a former Scranton musician: The
Lyric Music company, of Syracuse, has
published beautiful anthem for quar-
tet or chorus, entitled THE Pilgrims of
the Night" by Mr., George Noyes Rock
well, who for a number of years was
a potent factor in the musical life of
Albany This anthem is very melodi-
Gus, well written and is sure to have
large use by choirmasters. The OPEN
ing theme in the key of ID is smooth
and flowing, and is followed by a fine
solo for contralto in the key of G minor.
The key changes to ID again at the
close of the solo, and the anthem Is
brought to a close by finely worked
out idea for quartet and chorus. Mr..
Rockwell occupies a front rank among
the composers Of music for the church,
and THE Pilgrims of the Night" is ono
of his very best efforts. The anthem is
dedicated to Mr.. George Edgar oliver,
organist and choirmaster of st. Paurs
church.
