CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is
the chief canse Of bladder troubles. SO the
womb, like the bladder, was created for one
purpose, and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except in rare
eases. 1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often, by mis-
take, attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty
four hours a sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the

CROP CONDITIONS.
General Summary of the situation az
Reported by the Weather Bu-
reau at Washington.

Washington, Sept. 2s.-The follow
ing summary of the climate and crop
conditions throughout the country
has been given out by the weather bu-
reau:
The week ending September &c has
been one of exceptionally favorable
temperature conditions for the ma
turing of crops generally throughout
the country. No frosts were reported
from the states of the central valleys,
but light frosts, causing no serious
damage, occurred in portions of New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
on the 21st. Heavy rains delayed farm
work in portions of the lower Mis-
souri, and lower Ohio valleys, and
proved injurious in the central gulf
states, while drought conditions con-
tinue unbroken in portions Of Mime
sofa. On the Pacific coast the weather
conditions have been generally favor
able in Washington and Oregon, while
rains, ranging from one-fourth to more
than one inch, fell over the greater
part of northern and central Califor-
MIA, causing injury to raisins and I'M
thrashed grain. Such rains are very
unusual in California at this season,
and while causing some injury will
prove beneficial in replenishing the
water supply.
Except in northern Missouri, where
considerable late corn needs ten days
favorable weather in which to mature,
the corn crop is now practically safe
from frost, and much has been cut.
Heavy rains in the lower Mississippi
valley have damaged open cotton and
interfered with picking. Over the east
ern portion of the cotton region the
weather has been more favora BILE, and
picking is progressing rapidly. Pick
ing has also progressed rapidly in
Texas, where the crop is reported as
irregular, being good in places and
poor in others. Reports throughout
the cotton belt generally indicate that
the top crop will be very inferior and
in some places total failure.
The tobacco crop has been secured,
with the exception of small part
of the late crop in Maryland, Virginia
and Tennessee.
The soil conditions generally
throughout the country. east of the
Rocky mountains, are highly favorable
for blowing and seeding, Minnesota be-
ing the only state in which the ground
has been too dry for this work. The re-
ports generally indicate that fall sown
grain has terminated quickly and is
coming up to good stands.
