The first hall OF the past week was
| generally Too cool Tor satisfactory growth
| OF crops, but the latter hall was the

ties in Humboldt, Lyon and Ormsby
.Iccunties, while in Elko potato vines
weather prevailed throughout the week.
The week has been especially favorable
ior haying in all parts of the State, on
account OF the absence OF SHOWERS and
high winds.
Alfalfa has all been cut and the first
crop was cured and saved in good condi-
ton. The crop in Elko county was cut
a little short by the June irosts but as a
RUE il WAS good and very heavy i'll some
localities. Timothy is nearing'th har
vesting stage in Ormsby and Washoe
counties.
In Elko county wheat and barley are
just heading and will o . be in the
milk, the stage at which it is liable to
injury from frost, but the warm period
which began during the week will likely
place them out OF danger. Oats and
barley generally show some improve
ment. New potatoes are plentiful; APP
plies and peaches irregular abundant in
sonle localities, a failure III others; cur.
rants are plentiful and raspberries ripen-
ing fast.

Thousands of people, residents along

division, viii learn with sorrow today
Of the death Of Calvin S. Jones, the
veteran railroad conductor, popularity
known as Smith" Jones, which occur
red yesterday noon at the NCrthW est
ern hospital in Minneapolis, IS the re-
suit of a severe surgical operation. Mr.
Jones has been a familiar figure on the
Milwaukee for a quarter CT century
and as recently as THURSDAY went out
on his regular run, but was taken ILL.,
and compelled to surrender his train at
Milbank. He laid over there a day
and brought back the train Of the next
day, arriving in St. Paul yesterday
mo1ni6g. The trip exh ed him some
what, and he sought medical atten-
dance at once upon reaching his home
at Merriam Park. Dr. Henderson
diagnosed the case as inflammation of
the bowels, due to q bladder trouble.
His condition grew rapidly worse, and
in the night it became evident that
an operation must be performed and
speedily, or death must ensue. The
patient was hastily removed in an am
bulance to the Northwestern hospital
in Minneapolis, where Drs. Henderson
and II. H. Kinball assisted by num-
Der of other surgeons, performed the
operation ofslaparotony about o'clock
yesterday morning. The shock was too
great for the sick man, however, and
he died about noon. -
The deceased was born March II,
1849, at Waukesila, Wis, being a son of
William S. Jones, a prominent pioneer
resident of Hastings, who, with his
wife, survives his sons death The
deceased also leaves a wife, but no chill
dren. Mr.. Jones had been in the employ
of the Milwaukee for twenty-five years,
being a brakeman on the first train
that ran between Red Wing and ST.
Paul. From freight brakeman he was
gradually promoted until twenty years
ago he became a passenger conductor.
He had resided at Merriam Park for
fifteen years.
Mr. Jones was not only popular in
his own community, but throughout the
region in which he had run a train for
so many years. He enjoyed the respect
and confidence of his employers as we'll
as of his neighbors, and will be remem-
bered by many friends as a warm
hearted man Of very generous impulses.
He was a member of Triune Lodge
No. 1870, A. F. and A. M, and of Zion
commandery, Of Minneapolis, as we'll
as Merriam Park council, Royal Ar
canum. The blue lodge will have
charge of the services, the other or

be at 1 o'clock tomorrow, the remains
being taken on the afternoon train to
