The residence property owned by
Judge w. w. Rucker and O. B.
Anderson, and occupied by Mrs. P.
a. Agee on Lincoln avenue in Keytes-
vile, was discovered to be on fire by
Mrs. Agee shortly before two o'clock
last Friday morning. The fire was
under such headway when it was dis
covered that the dining-room had
begun to fall in. 1t was quickly real
lied that the house was doomed, so
attention was turned to saving the
contents, which belonged to Mrs.
Agee and her daughter, Mrs. A. E.
Hurt. Owing to the advanced stage
OF the fire nothing could be removed
from the kitchen and dining-room, but
most all of the furniture in the other
rooms was saved, although in a more
or less damaged condition. Mrs.
Hurt and her three children lost all of
their clothing.
Good work was done by those who
answered the alarm of fire, and had
the blaze been discovered a little
sooner the house and all its contents
would probably have been saved, for
Keytesville people are Tartars when it
comes to fighting fire. Mrs. Agee
and daughter carried total 1nsur-
ance of $3.50, Mrs. Agee $500 and
Mrs. Hurt $I5o, which will probably
cover their loss. Messrs. Rucker &
Anderson carried $500 insurance on
the house, which was about all it was
worth. Mrs. Agee, her son, J. w, !
and daughter, Mrs. Hurt, have moved !
into the latter's dwelling house, which |
was recently vacated by C.L. Herring
until Mrs. Agee can have a new
1omiciIe erected on a lot she recently
purchased from A. Mackay's estate on
East Bridge street. We understand
hat it Is Mr.. Anderson's intention to
,ebuild on the lot where the fire took
place, and that he will move to town
md become part and parcel of
Neytesville. If this proves to be the
,ase Keytesville's fire of last Friday
morning will be blessing in disguise.

eIage condition Of corn, Oct. /, to have
been 81 as compared with S4.I. Sept.
l. with I'll. Oct. !. 1887, and with S29,
the mean of the October average of
She last 10 years.
The usual wheat report is withheld
pending the result OF further inyestf-
CATION.
The preliminary estimate of the yield
per acre of oats is 27.8 bushels. This
is three-tenths of a bushel per acre
less than the preliminary estimate of
the crop of 1897 but 81 per acre above
the mean of the preliminary averages
of the last 10 years. The average for
quality is 1873 against SIG one year

The average for quality is 91.3 as com
pared with $40 last year.

crop is of any commercial Importance
except in Maine, Michigan, Nebraska
ana Oregon. where slight improve
ment is indicated.
The yield per acre OF hops is gener-
ally in excess of last year. California,
where the yield will probably not ex-
coed 1000 pounds to the acre, being the
only exception.
The tobacco reports as a whole are
somewhat less favorable than last
