Kentucky Crop Report.
Condition of Crops and
Live Stock September
Ist, 1898.

The report for this month is
made up from replies received from
14S correspondents, representing
90 counties.
WHEAT.
Weather conditions have induced
a freer marketing Of the wheat crop
than would otherwise have been
the case. The heavy rainfall, which
was general during the early part
of August, and continued in some
sections until near the close of IT,
month, put much of the wheat l.,
shock III condition that storizg
i'm home granaries would endanger
the quality. Of wheat that was
stacked few crops withstood the
penetrating rains that fell from the
LIST to the 18th of August.
1t is estimated that "a per cent.
of the crop of the western section
remained in hands of farmers Sep
TENDER LIST. In the central section
81 per cent. was in farmers hands
on same date. and in the eastern
section 81 per cent. was unsold. On
September LIST, 1897, the estimated
per cent. of wheat still in hands of
farmers was Sc. Estimating the
damage resulting from rain shows
that l6 per cent. of the crop was
damaged while in shock and stack
in the western section, ii per cent.
was damaged in central section,
and ID per cent. in eastern section.
The conditions. until the last
week of August, have been exceed
ingly favorable for the new crop,
but stimulus of high price or ad-
vancing market is wanting.
CORN.
The corn crop will be one of the
heaviest in yield per acre ever pro-
duced in the State. Early corn has
reached stage of maturity which
admits of it being put in shock.
While much Of the acreage was
planted late, the forcing season,
especially during the past month,
has brought late corn, to a stage of
maturity where little apprehension
of damage from frost need be felt.
The condition, compared with
average years, averages lO7 in
western section, 102 in central Sec
ton, and in the eastern section los.
The average for the State is los.
On August LIST the condition for
the State averaged 81. On Septem-
Der LIST, 1897, the condition was 80.
The counties which August LIST
III owed an abnormally low condi-
ton, show, without exception, an
Improvement, and in some of them
the improvement has been wonder
iul. To offset to some extent this
Improvement the crop in low bot
oms has been damaged, and much

Late corn was beginning to suffer

REV. FTTZSIMMONS
FOR COLONEL
Col. 4. B. Foster Cannot Go to the
Front.
THE FIGHTING PARS0N"
His Friends Flooded Coy. Johnston With
kilograms Yesterday.
URGING THAT He BE APPOINTED
He Comes of Fighting Stock--0no Brother in
Army, Another IN Navy -SpendidIy In
formed in Science Of War--Has
Had Military Training

The sensation of the Spanish war, so far
as the Alabama volunteers were concerned,
was sprung yesterday when it became
known that Rev. o. P. Fitzsimmons, rector
of st. Mary he-Highlands, was an
applicant for the colonelship of the Second
infantry, Alabama National Guard.
This announcement, was made on the re-
port that Colonel Henry b. Foster of~Tus-
caloosa. the officer who now holds that po-
sition, from business and other reasons,
would be unable to leave home, for the
present, at least, and that another would
have to be appointed in his place.
Dr. Fitzsimmons friends at once began to
telegraph Governor Johnston, asking that
he receive this appointment, and it soon
became known that some of the most in
huential men, both military and civil, were
very enthusiastic in his behalf. If popu-
larity counts for anything, DR.. Ftzsimmons
will command the Second regiment when it
leaves for the seat of war.
DR.. Fitzsimmons comes of a fighting
stock. 1t is well known that as a minister
he is fearless in denouncing whatever he
believes to be wrong, and it is largely
through his influence that numerous re-
forms have been brought about in this city.
He has brother who is now an officer in
the United States ARMY and another who
is an officer in the navy. DIR. Fitzsimmons,
Notwithstanding his peaceful calling, is not
without military training. He is a gradu-
ate of a military school, and in his younger
days devoted a great deal of his time to
military pursuits. Even now he is one of
the best posted men on military affairs in
the. state and his friends claim that he
is as capable of commanding a regiment
as any man that could be found in Ala
bama.

The THREE-CtNT COIN.
A Little Joker Which Bothers Change-Makers
No Little.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Next to a gold dollar" said a business
man, there is nothing in the line of coins
detest quite so much as the 3-cent piece.
There is no call for it's existence, and the
proper authorities, in my opinion, should
call them all in, and melt EN- up. Now,
here is a Scent coin. Observe that it is
of the same size as a dime, and, when the
light is poor, it has the same general APP
pearance a dime. Undoubtedly some
car conductor gave it to me for dime
and l accepted it at that value.
II have been carrying 1t for a week in
my small change overcoat pocket. Last
night at the Park Row station of the L
road, gave it to the ticket seller and ask
ed for two tickets, thinking that it was
dime He pushed it back through the lit
tie window with an ironical smile and never
a word. 1 asked his pardon and promptly
gave him the proper coin, but I know he
thought I was trying to work cents off
on him for TO-
Later on in the evening I was return
ing to my home in Brooklyn, and without
looking at it, 1 thoughtessly drew my g.
cent piece out of my coat pocket and passed
it to the bridge ticket seller, with request
for four tickets. There was sarcasm in the
tone of his voice as he requested me to
guess again. and 1 was about to lose my
temper when I glanced down and saw my
Scent piece lying before me.
81 made good again and once more drop
ped my despised coin back in my pocket.
This morning when I boarded a car l put
my hand in the same pocket, which con-
tanned ait least a dollar in change, and
handed the conductor, as | supposed, a
dime. I never stopped reading my paper
until the conductor, in voice of mild pro-
test, remarked: They don't go here, where
upon L meel1ly hunted for nickel. Now,
could anything be more exasperating?
sit seems to me that Uncle Sam should
not permit such an absurd state of affairs,
for these Scent coins place good citizens in
very embarrassing positions. I vote to call
'em in, and 1 know that most all men

AMUSEM ENTS.


The Peruchi-Beldeni company had booked
for last night 1.-THE Outcast," but owing to
the illness of a leading member of the cast,
the regular bill was displaced by pot
pouri of vaudeville numbers. The change
was quite pleasing to the audience, the
specialties going with such good favor that
the members of the company were kept
working hard to answer the numerous en-
cores. Chelsea Peruchi and Elanor Beldeni
made quite hit with their sketch, entitled
1.-THE Office Boy" Mr.. Peruchi is an in
imitable fun maker, and Miss Beldeni Is
one of those charming, vivacious, little la
dies, who always captures the audience
from the first appearance on the stage. The
old favorite Guy Woodward was well re-
ceived in the patriotic song There's Room
for One More STAR" Among those who
have been well received Is Miss Marie Sat-
well, who is speciality artist of no inferior
talent All of the players have installed
themselves in the good graces of the public
and the company is pronounced one of the
best popular price attractions that has Wis
tied Birmingham this season. The bill for
this afternoon is the County Politician"
and tonight 1.-THE Outcast."

CAR LOAD MULES
FOR U. S. ARMY
Flies & Son Made First Shipment
to Chickamauga Park
Last Night.

Last night Flies & Sons, the well-known
liverymen, shipped car load of mules to
Chickamauga Park for use in the army.
Representatives of the war department
were in the city yesterday and purchased
the mules for immediate shipment.
Every mule that is in use in the war de-
partment is branded with Uncle Sam's
mark, and the officers who bought the
mules furnished Flies & Sons with "U.
81 brand and each mule was branded on
the left shoulder.
The mules will be used to draw the heavy
army wagons and in event that the army
is ordered to Cuba will be sent along.
Other purchases will be made and 1t is
probable that the Birmingham market will
be called upon to supply the demand

My niece's little baby boy, two years old.
was so badly afflicted with Eczema that he
needed constant watching. 1t was all over
his face, and he scratched the sores con-
stantly. Mornings, his clothes would be
stained with blood, and his face and hands
would be covered. His family never could
take him. out, as his face was always full of
large sores, They had medical treatment and
tried everything they heard of. She COM
menced using the CUTICURA REMEDIES last
spring and found that at last she had a won-
derful healer. The sores left his face and he
was entirely cured, and now his face is as
smooth and rosy as though no sore had ever
been there to mar it. Mrs. L. j. ROOT,
