The last crop bulletin has this to

The last crop bulletin has this to
say of the fruit prospects:
"The fruit prospects are difficult
to determine. The prune crop is
in some sections reported to be full,
in other sections it is reported to be
small. The prune crop will be
small in the majority of orchards,
though in few localities, for un-
explained reasons, fair crop will
result. Cherries are ripening and
they are not a full crop, though
some varieties of trees are as we'll
filled as they should be. The peach
crop now promises to be good. The
apple and pear crops will not, as
rule, be full. Owing to the varia-
ton in reports, it is not possible to
particularize where the fruit prom
ises wei! and where not; but it is
certain that, taken as q whole, the
prune, cherry, apple and pear crops
will be larger than in 1896, but not
so large as in 1885,"

After many doubts anent the
coming of the battle-ship Oregon,
the citizens of Portland are now
acquainted with the blunt fact that
she will not come. The silver SER
vice committee, after campaign of
influence, instruction and appeal,
has given over the expectation of
bringing the vessel, and now ac-
cept the second best thing to be
had, namely, the request Tor the
presence of some vessel of the navy.
A rule of the navy department is
unearthed forbidding vessels of the
Oregon's class to enter bar harbor,
under which division the entrance
at the mouth of the Columbia is
placed.-Statesman.

men in the state was cured of
rheumatism after three years of
suffering. He says: II have not
sufficient command of language to

could be done for me; and my
friends were fully convinced that
nothing but death would relieve
me of my suffering. In June, 1894,
Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., recommended

this time my foot and limb were

PanSy G. Burr, aged three years, a
bright. pretty and healthy little girl
who resided with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles ]. Burr, 1929 Washington
street northeast, broke her neck and
was instantly killed by falling
from the outside stairway of a neigh
boring residence, yesterday morning.
The fatality happened in full view Of
the grief-stricken mother, who, with
the feeling that only a mother can ex-
perience, sprang to the assistance or
her youngest born. When she picked
up the tiny form and realized that 1t
was inanimate her grief knew no
bounds, although kind-hearted neigh
bors did their best to console and COM
fort her The mothers condition is
regarded as very serious.
After breakfast the child went into
the back yard to play, and firing of
her dolls, she began to amuse herself
by running up and down the stairs next
door. Her mother, who had frequent
ly warned the little one against such a
dangerous pastime, was on the watch
and left the house to take her down.
Before she reached the stairway she
called to Pansy, who was leaning over
the banister, laughing in childish glee
at her mother, to come down.
"All right, mamma, I'm coming" was
the reply, and the next instant she lost
her balance and pitched head first over
the railing, falling a distance of four
teen feet, and striking on her head al
most at her mothers feet.
Deputy Coroner Nelson viewed the
remains and decided that an inquest
was unnecessary.

supposed to, keep within United States
waters, for the constitution provides
that the president must not go beyond
the limits of our possessions. Of course
he can go for a trip on the Dolphin if
he wants to, but it can only be a
coasting voyage. u.s..
While he is at Cherry farm, there
Is telegraph operator and his wire
present every moment. One of the
White house clerks is kept as busy as
can be attending to the Geographic
communication. Something is con-
stantly occurring about which the
president should know. and therefore,
no matter what he is trying to do, ne
has always got to- stopa and consider
something in the interests of the peo
pie who made him what he is today.
He will have very pleasant time
at Cherry farm though, no doubt.
While Mrs. McKinley'se chronic semi
1nvalidism makes it impossible for her
to act as a hostess at qall times, the
president is glad enough to see people
provided they do not come on official
business. A handsome man himself,
ne is attractive to women. and the
pretty girls find in him devoted
friend. The chances are that the cher
ries at Cherry farm Will be eclipsed
by the cherry blossom cheeks of the
young ladies that come TO call on the
president
Mckinley knows good horse when
ne sees 1t, and we'll he loves to drive
one. He will take his own horses and
carriages to the farm and there will

cause Uncle Sam has neither paid for
the horses nor does he foot the bill

MKlNLEY'S SUMMER pLANS.
The President Will Enjoy Outing
at Cherry Farm.
Special Correspondence of the Globe.

Special Correspondence of the Globe
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Like Luz
cullus. President Mckinley is about
to retire to his farm. He Is going
across the Potomac over into the classi-
cal precincts Of "Ole Virginny." The
place which the president has rented
is known as Cherry farm and it Is sit
uated just where 1t should have all
the breeze there is. Mckinley is a
modest man and THOROUGHLY unassum-
ing. He loves quiet, and geniahty, but
is not, like Cleveland, of the old Eng
lish sporting squire type.
The question of the presidential out
ing is always a momentous one in
Washington, because it means a great
deal Ever so many persons are inter-
ested in the question Of location who
would not be thought of ordinarily. For
instance, 1t means much to the real
estate owners in the vicinity of the
place where the president chooses to
have his summer home. One only need
look at the history of Washington real
estate to see what effect the purchase
of Woodley by ex-President Cleveland
had upon the surrounding territory.
It doomed at once, and the fortunate
real estate men who were in on the
ground floor made pot of money.
The situation is likely to be the same
in the neighborhood of Cherry farm.
Mckinley was long while making
up his mind as to what he would do.
Rumor had him going down in New
Jersey, he was going to be the guest
of Secretary Porter in Connecticut, he
was sure to be hither and yon-in fact,
everywhere. No one said anything
about Virginia or Cherry farm, prin-
cipally because the people who did
know kept quiet about it. Thus it is
that the announcement of the presi-
dents choice of a country place has
created wide establishment. The Wash
ington enthusiast does not see why he
went over into Virginia, while the Vir-
ginian with quiet contempt of Wash
ington, says that: 'Majah Mckinley is
a gentleman, sub. He prefers the So
ciety of gentlemen"
1t will only be a half vacation,
though, because, try as hard as the
president may, it is almost impossible
for him to get away from the business
of the nation, unless he goes out to
sea. Then he must, or at least he is

a Mckinley institution from top to
bottom. These horses and carriages
will become very familiar with the
Virginia roads this summer. McKin-
ley likes a good coachman, but he is
never more delighted than when hold
ing the ribbons behind handsome
pair Of roadsters that can take him
along at a gait not so very far from
three minutes.
1t is one of the sorrows of the presi-
dent that his wife's ailment prevents
the two taking carriage excursions to-
gether to any extent. 1t is pretty well
known now that 1t is necessary for
Mrs. Mckinley to be at all times
where, If an attack seizes her, she can
be promptly cared for. That is why
the carriage drives are infrequent
This is really the most pathetic incl
dent of the administration. Here is a
president who really and honestly pre-
fers his wife's society to that of any
body else, and yet he is prevented from
enjoying it and seeing her enjoy the
full measure Of honor that attaches
to the wife of the president of the
United States.
Probably the busiest man Of the
White house staff will be the execu-
tive clerk, who carries from the White
house to Cherry farm the correspond
ence necessary for the presidents i'm
mediate lnSpecClOn. VI COURSE the
president only gets a small portion Of
the letters which are addressed to him.
The chief clerk who receives the mail
sorts it out and gives to the private
secretary the letters which he thinks
the president might want to see. The
residue off the mail is distributed
where it belongs, to the different Sec
retaries, etc.
Then Secretary Porter takes the let
ters that are given to him and opens
almose all of them. Only such as he,
the confidential man of the executive,
knows should be submitted to the
president personally are ever given to
Mckinley. The rest are answered by
the secretary Probably the majority
of people do not realize it but it is a
fact that not more than ten per cent
of the letters addressed to the presi-
dent ever meet his eye. 1t is those
letters and the communications from
the departments that the executive
clerk will carry to and from Cherry
farm in the coupe which the govern
ment provides for this very service.
Mckinley may not stay on Cherry
farm all summer. 1t is probable he
will take little side trips. There is
Abner McKinley's summer home in
Pennsylvania, up in the mountains.
This is one of the most delightful Of
places, and as for rest. if one cannot
gain that in the mountains of Pennsyl-
vania, then his case must indeed be

desperate. Brother Abner has urged
William very strongly to come and
see him, If only for a week, and Sec
rotary Porter said the other day, when
he was asked about it, that it was
quite likely there would be a fraternal
reunion in the Pennsylvania mountains
during the heated term.
Secretary Porter also had his eye on
the president, as regards a summer
outing. The secretary has a very
charming home he has recently pur-
chased on the Connecticut shore, aud
he has asked his superior to pay him
visit of week or so. Secretary
Porter wants to be governor of Con-
necticut, and he is likely to be, unless
all signs fail, one of these days. If
he can induce the president to come
down and be introduced to his, Por-
ter's, friends and others, it will be
quite feather in his cap. Thus Nc
kinley is given the opportunity of Civ
ing his friend and helper a political
lift and also of having a good time
There are a great many people in
Washington who would be perfectly
content with the White house as a
summer residence. Those who have
stood in the rear windows of the great
East room, and looked out over the
lovely lawn and down the mall beyond
until their eyes caught the view of the
cleaning Potomac, will appreciate the
ample ground for sincerity there is in
this statement. 1t is an open secret
that the veranda that the presidents
apartments overlook is as cool a place
as there is in all Washington.

Farmers Capture One of a Pair of
Alleged Cattle Thieves.

John Thayer Claiming to have been for
merly engaged in the meat business in st.
Paul, was arrested by Constable Oxbury, of
Bloomington township on a charge of grand
larceny. He brought to Minneapolis,
and the constable secured complaints regu-
larry sworn to. and decided to lock his pris-
oner up. Another man who was with Thayer
at the time of his arrest made his escape.
Two farmers making complaints against
Thayer. who was captured by them in one
of their farm yards, claim that he and his
confederates have been stealing cattle from
the farmers in the vicinity for some time,
and that in doing they adopted most
unique method. Instead of driving the bo-
vines off the ranch. Thayer and his crowd
were alleged to have carried instruments of
slaughter with them and killed the animals
On the spot, carting the carcasses away in
a wagon.
Both men drove into the farm yard where
Thayer was captured early in the morning.
The farmer and a friend were waiting for
them, and covering them with revovers
demanded their Unconditional surrender
Thayer made no attempt to escape, but the
other man broke and ran, although fired
upon. In the wagon a lot of knives and
tools were found. The captors took posses
sion of the horses and wagon and outfit Two
friends Of the prisoners telephoned the sheriff
from st. Paul that they would furnish bail.

Russia Works n Game on the IgnOr-
ant Peasants.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Russa has expe-
rienced some difficulty in reversing her
standard of value by simple decree, as shown
in a report to the state department by United
States Consul Heenan at Odessa. He says:
The change inaugurated about two years ago
in the currency Of Russia from a silver to
what is supposed to be gold basis had a
somewhat depressing effect upon the mind
Of the peasant farmers, By imperial edict
1t was made known that a five rouble gold
piece would, until further notice. be equal
to roub,es. and so copecks paper currency
and a check drawn on any Russian bank for
rs roubles must be considered paid should
the holder receive so roubles in gold. The
masses of Russia said to be uneducated
and ignorant; nevertheless, when they were
offered a 5 rouble gold piece in payment
of check due them for roubles and so
copecks they refused to accept it, and point
ed out that stamped on the gold piece in
plain Russian characters were the words.
Five Roubles," and they furthermore de-
mand to know why it was that they were
expected to believe that twice 21a made 7
roubles and 80 copecks in money or any
thing else.
The government officials were equal to the
emergency. and recoined the same rouble
gold piece and stamped on 1t roubles and
80 copecks, which illustrates the old adage
that there are more ways of killing a cat
than by choking it with butter"
