REPORT OF CROP CONDITIONS

Washington, d. c., June 15.-The
Weather Bureau, in its report of crop
conditions for the week ended June IA,
says:
The weather conditions of the past
week have been generally favorable to
agricultural interests over the greater
portion of the country. There has been
too much rain, however, in New Eng
land and the northern portion of the
middle Atlantic States, where it has
also been rather cool, while over portions
of the lower Ohio valley, western Ten
nessee and northeastern Missouri rain is
much needed. Except over limited areas
rain would prove generally beneficial to
growing crops in the central valleys and
central Gulf States. The latter part of
the week was particularly favorable to
the States of the upper Mississippi and
Missouri 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 con-
ditions of the past week. There has
been a general Improvement in the cOndi-
ton of cotton throughout the cotton belt,
it being most marked in South Caroilna
and Georgia. The crop is generally clean
and in sections les numerous. In Texas
it needs warm, dry weather over the
northern portion of the State, where
growth has been slow and some replant-
ing continues, while showers would prove
beneficial in other sections of the State.
Except on the Pacific coast, winter
wheat has continued to improve. Hair
west is now in progress in the southern
portions of Kansas, Missouri and Illinois
and is nearing completion in some of
the more southerly States. In Texas
nearly the whole crop is now in shock in
good condition, except in some localities
where damage from rain has resulted.
On the Pacific coast the condition of
winter wheat is only fair; in Oregon and
! in California high temperatures have
caused the grain to shrink. Recent rains
in western Washington promise to i'm
prove the condition of the crop in that
section.
| Spring wheat has experienced some i'm
provement in Minnesota and in North
Dakota the crop is recovering rapidly
from the effects of low temperatures OF
the previous week.
Tobacco needs rain in Tennessee and
Kentucky and sunshine in Pennsylvania
The early planting is being cut in Florida
and planting is in progress in Wisconsin
and Ohio. The Virginia crop has al
been planted and practically the whole
crop has been set in Maryland and
Indiana. l.4.AIAl&

GIRLS WITHOUT cORsETS ESCAPED.

The anti-corset crusade, which breaks
ont with much force every now and then,
received a great impetus in ONO day
or so ago as the following telegram VIII
shows
sBellaire, Ohio, June 14.-Three
young ladies were killed yesterday
evening by lightning while they were
on their way home from the Nj. h.
church at Jacobsburg. The victims
were Minnie Mcclure, daughter OF
Rev. Thomas Mcclure; Alpa Taylor,
daughter of William Taylor, and
Emma White. daughter of Simon
White, all aged about nineteen years.
1t is believed that the steel corsets
worn by the girls that were killed
were the chief cause of their death,
as a Miss Pohring, who was only
stunned, wore none.
These young women, bear in mind,
were all equally pious. They were all
ION their way home from the Nj. Il.
church" One of them was the daughter
of the preacher, "shouter," doubtless
by inheritance, and if piety had saved
from the lightning's flash we may be
sure she would not have met so untimely
a death. 1t does not appear that Miss
Pohring was more pious than the others.
Indeed it may be that she was new
woman" less dependent on the comforts
of religion than her corset wearing Sis
tiers. However that may be, the corset
steels were the cause Of the death of her
companions, while she escaped death be-
cause she had discarded corsets. The
ultra advocates of doing away with cor
sets argue that sooner or later wearing
corsets prove the death of all women who
bind themselves with what they call 1.-THE
instruments of torture" When they read
this telegram they will say that in the
case of the Ohio young women, they es-
capped a long lingering death through the
corset by the sudden death which their
steels in their corsets proved.
Moral: Wear no corsets during thunder
storms.

THE TAX ON DOCTORS.

There was but one opinion at the State
Medical Convention OF the tax the fusion
legislature imposed on doctors. The city
doctors. while not believing in the tax,
declared that they saved money by it. In
one city, prior to the imposition of this
tax by the State, the municipal tax was
twenty-five dollars The law provides
that the State privilege tax shall be in
lieu of all other privilege tax. The law
enables the city doctor to save money,
but it bears heavily on the country doc
sor.
As showing the burden this privilege
tax imposes, in a paper read before the
State Medical Convention at Morehead
DIR. G.. T. Skies, of Grissom, n. c., said
1As for the laws that demand correc-
lion, the unjust special tax on profession
al men should certainly be repealed
The State Treasurer's report shows that
for the year 1896 there was collected
from the doctors, dentists and lawyers Of
North Carolina S1S,790, which, allowing
'Ia cents for a hundred dollars worth OF
property, would be equal to the tax on
S2,6S4,2 S5, making an unjust burden
upon the class OF men who, above AL
others, do more for the cause of humanity
in proportion to their ability, than any
others.
Now, roughly estimated, there is
about 1000 licensed physicians in North
Carolina, who probably paid their special
tax, amounting to $4,000; and allowing
an average practice of two thousand do
lars per capita, it would equal the sum
Of three million dollars a year. OF this,
allowing fifty per cent. for loss and char
ity practice, (which may be too liberal
for our city brethren), added to the tax,
sums up grand total of 81, 515, 900 that
the medical profession of North Carolina
bears in excess of an honest advaloren.

or jurisdiction to interrogate the defend
ant concerning the article published in

rected or required to answer the question

or refuse to answer the question set
forth in the Indictment.

LIGHTNING STRUCK
A ICOnvIet Csmp-Four Were Killed
Twenty Made Break for Liberty
and Are Now EnIoyIng II.

Dakota, Ga. June 2S.-Dur-
ing a terrific thunderstorm
lightning struck a convict camp
near here last. night, and as a
result four cCnvicts are dead
and ten are dying.
The camp is at the lumber
mills of Greer Bros. and about
$50 prisoners from the state
penitentiary were at work there.
Last night during supper the
storm came up and struck the
dining shack, demolishing it..
Two of the convicts, negroes,
were instantly killed by the
lightning stroke; two others,
white, died from their injuries
a few minutes afterwards, and
ten were shocked so badly that
they are dying.
About twenty of the felons
seeing their opportunity, dashed
past the guards, who were pan
ic stricken, and made their es-
cape. Bloodhounds were put
ON their track, but owing to the
heavy rain the trail had been
we'll covered. Only two of
them were captured and they
had been III the hospital tent
for a few days and were too
weak to get away. The widest
excitement reigns and hundreds
of people are out in pursuit.
The state will offer a reward il
I the men are not captured.

THE SINGLE ISSUE.
So Certain Are the Silver Hosts % Vie
tory That Everybody Wants q
PIoee on the Ticket.

Columbus, o.. June 2S.-The
candidates and delegates are
here i'll force today for the dem
ocratic state convention. The
delegates meet by congressional
districts tomorrow afternoon
and the committees tomorrow
night while the convention
proper does not assemble till
Wednesday morning. In addi-
tion to a full state ticket, MEM
bers of tine legislature are
elected this year. There has
been several aspirants for the
senate. but John r. Mclean,
proprietor of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, has secured such a
large majority of the delegates
to the state convention that
there is no more opposition to
him than there was to Senator
Hanna at the republican state
convention in Toledo last week.
Mr.. Mclean did not expect to
attend the convention, but his
friends today say they will try
to get him here. McLean's
friends do not want any sena-
torial Endorsement resolutions
attached to the platform. They
do not want any Endorsement
/ for any other senatorial candi-
date, and are simply keeping
clear the right of way. No
democrats have held state Of
fees since Mckinley was gov
ernOr, and new class of aspir-
ants is in the field. There are
dozens of candidates for each
place on the state ticket, and
they are here with headquarters
open.
The convention IS almost a
unit for free silver, and no can
didate is considered whose rec
ord is not clear on that issue.
An effort is being made TO
have nothing else in the plat
form except the one silver
plank. This will avoid endors-
ing the Chicago platform as a
whole, and other questions on
which there are differences of
opinion.
! Owing to Senator Hanna vot-
ing against the Cuban resolu.
ton, there are some who insist
on a stronger Cuban resolution
than was adopted at Toledo.
