The effect of weather conditions
upon crops from Autumn of 1896 to.
including summer, 1897:
Reckoning from September 1st,
1896, to August 3lst, 1897, tempera-
ture conditions ware almost exact
ly normal, but l.05 inches in excess
OF the usual amount of moisture
was received. twas warmer than
usual in November, December, Feb.
ruary, March and July and cooler
than usual in other months. The
rainfall was above average in Sep
tember, 1896, February, March,
April and July, and deficient in.
other months. AS a rule, the au-
tumn and spring months were wet
and the winter and summer months
were comparatively dry, except
that July WAS very hot and wet.
During September, 1897, and the
most OF October, 1897, extremely
dry weather prevailed, with warm
days and cool, frosty nights; in
many places no rain fell during
nearly 26 consecutive days; plow-
Ing and seeding were brought to a
standstill, pastures, streams and
wells gave out, and everything
suffered. The drouth Is the most
severe and protracted on record.
AUTUMN, 1896: Conditions favor.

secured and no serious damage re-.
suited by reason Of FROST, Pastures

WINTER 1867: Fruit trees,
especially peach, were damaged by

did not do well In December, but,
was well protected by snow In

ANOTHER great strug gle in Ohio

ANOTHER great strug gle in Ohio
between the people and the money
barons has come to an end, and as
we write we arc not able to chron-
icle the supremacy, but it is our
hope that the people have been
successful. But whether success
full this time or not. the gold barons
will know that the war has been
waged, and with such evidence Of
the uprising of the people against
monarchy that the barons will
tremble for the future. This has
been our second battle for silver.
Last year, as this, Ohio has been
the battle ground. We have with
us, disgrace to our state, the
greatest of all bull dozers and gold
boodlers. He is king among them,
and he is the fountain head OF
oppression, and 1t is upon the fount-
ain head that we wish to strike the
fatal blow. We may have not &C.
complished IL this time, but the
people will be squeezed on and
down until their will be mighty
throb of an oppressed pulse, and the
nation will tremble in blood, and
the lamp posts and trees will be
decorated with the rotten carcases
of millionares. God speed the day
when this yoke will be thrown off
by the people, either in peaceful or
belligerent action. Hunger can
not maintain, and a striking for
liberty will 90 out with a mighty
thrust in the future, and damnabe
oppression will quell and squirm
beneath the strong arm of an out
ragged people.
