CONDITION OF CROPS.
WEEKLY BULLETIN ISSUED FROM
THE WEATHER BUREAU HERE.
WARN, MOIST WEATHER NEEDED.
The Recent Rains General, But the
Temperature Too Low for Vegeta-
the Counties.

The following Is. the weekly crop bull
letln. issued from the Virginia section of
the Weather Bureau. located in this city:
June s. 1S97.-Generally cool conditions
prevailed over the State during the first
half of the week, but the latter half
was warm and favorable for crop growth.
fine rain occurred in all sections on
Friday afternoon and night and a de-
cided Improvement in all crops has re-
suited. Winter oats are heading in
Tidewater counties. Corn continues
backward in nearly every county, owing
to adverse weather and the damages of
wire and cut-worms. Warm, moist
weather Is needed for this crop. Winter
wheat promises well over a major por-
tion Of the State, but in some localities
1t has deteriorated. Winter oats indi-
cate a good crop, and grasses have inn
proved Glover cutting has progressed
during the week and the crop thus far
continues short. Cotton and peanuts are
backward on account of cool weather,
and the same may be said of the to-
bacco. While the bulk of this crop Is in.
there are yet many planters who have
been unable to get "A season for their
plants and some who have planted will
have to replant on account of cool dry
weather. Harvesting of wheat has be-
gun in Tidewater and Middle counties.
The hay crop is not satisfactory. Pas
lures are improving. The prospect for
apples has fallen off some.

The Brooms had a royal revenge on the
Athletics to-day, winning from them bril-
liantly, and with great ease. The visitors
could only make two runs. and those
were both brought in by Battam In the
earned, one being the result of three
singles, and the other of a couple of two
baggers. For the locals all played ball,
and a beautiful article it was they put
up. Pfanmiler had magnificent control

bat. The remainder of the team followed
suit. Neither side scored till the fifth.

trick was repeated on the seventh on two
hits. a sacrifice hit by the pitcher, and

WHAT THE MONKEY FOUND.
1t Proved to De n Disastrous Dis
cOyery.

CoNcEss
The Philadelphia Times gives an ac-
count of singular accident which &C.
Cured the other day in that city. Two
Italian boys, with hand organ and a
monkey, were amusing a crowd and
incidentally collecting pennies at q
street corner, when the monkeys atten-
ton was caught by a roll of pasteboard
which he found near the curbstone.
Angelo, the older boy, who was
turning the crank, stopped for mo-
ment to chide the monkey for his mat
tention to business. The Gliding had
no effect, and the other fellow, Michael,
after some difficulty, got the paste
board and carried it to his brother,
who. with a curiosity equal to the
monkeys, began striking it against the
organ.
The crowd by this time was edging
back, and several voices called to the
Italians to be careful what they were
about; for the crowd saw plainly
enough that,the mysterious object was
nothing but a cartridge.
The Italians understood no English,
and presently there was fash and q
report, and the two boys were dancing
about the pavement, Angelo wringing
his hands, while Michael had both hands
to his head. The organ, badly dam
aged, lay on the sidewalk, and the
monkey sat at the top of lamp post.
An examination of the boys after
theywere taken to the hospital showed
that one Of them had lost the thumb
and forefnger u his right hand, while
the other had received scalp wound.

Jesuit Land An the KIondike.

1.-The Jesuit missions in Alaska" says
the Baltimore News, fare in luck, as
they are in the very heart of the gold
region. The land consists of about
three acres, which was purchased by
the head of the mission, Rev. William
II. Judge, few years ago for church,
school and graveyard. 1t is in the rich
est part of the Klondike region, and,
provided some one does not jump the
Jesuit claim, the returns should be
large. The Jesuit, however, are men
of peace, and are hardly strong enough
in. that wild territory to maintain their
rights in case an effort should be made
to push them out"

IT can't see how any family lives
without Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy" says ]. r.
Adams, well known druggist, of
Geneva, Ala, in a letter inquiring the
price of a dozen bottles, that he might
not only have it for use in his own
family, but supply it to his neighbors.
The reason some people get along with
out it is because they do not know its
value, and what vast amount of suf-
fering it will save. Wherever it be-
comes known and used, it is recog-
nized as a necessity, for it is the only
remedy that can be depended upon for
bowel complaints, both for childres
and adults. For sale by all druggists
