May victory follow him.-JOurnal-M Miner.
 F. Packard brought in fifteen moun- tain lion skins last Monday on which he claimed the bounty of s2O per scalp. Four of the belts were so small as to suggest that the services of an obstetri- clan had been employed to procure them. and the board. therefore, paid him for only eleven scalps. The claims of other parties were allowed. making a total of s2sO paid on scalps at the last meeting of the board. Mir. Packard makes business of hunting predatory animals. and has killed 2 lions since last June. The bounty paid on scalps is wise expenditure, as otherwise stockraising in many localities would soon become unprofitable. Silver Belt.

 The tide of travel towards Klon- dike has very materially slackened up within the last few weeks. A small transportation company running boat between Seattle and Skaguay has suc- cumbed to dull business. Others, it is said, will follow.

The Stock Market.

New York, Aug. 1.-The feature of the day on the stock market was the action of the directors of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy in advancing the quarterly dividend on the stock to the 6 per cent. rate. Although this &C., tion has been rumored and had been in dustriously discounted in the advance of tho stock for many days past and profits already taken on the advance, the announcement to-day was met by furious outburst of speculation in that and all the other granger stocks which carried the prices of Burlington fully g points over the previous high level on the movement. The action of the di- rectors is accepted as indicative of thelr
 belief in the power of the property to maintain earnings at last years high level. Intimations are given that the forthcoming statement of July earnings will show last years large average maintained. The statement of St. Paul for the second week in August is cor

roboration of the confidence in the earning power of the grangers. The increase in earnings over last year is $36, 213 and over 1892, the largest previ- ous corresponding week in the roads history, the increase is over 5000. Such a showing by the roads most affected by the present very light movement of grain is convincing evidence of the gem eral traffic which the awakening of business is bringing to the railroads. The renewed impetus given to the ad- vance in prices was Q natural conse- quence. The Burlington news came on a yielding market, due to an enormous liquidation of profits on the recent ad- vance. This realizing had been going on for over an hour to take advantage of the very heavy outside demand for stocks and had resulted in the market ing of upwards of a third of million shares of stocks with only a fractional impression on prices, which were, however, at the low point with the eX- ception of some of the industrials, not ably Tobacco, Leather, Cotton Oil, Rub- Der and stocks of iron and steel com panies. Burlington bounded up from the low point about five points, St. Paul 3A and each stock in the group advanc- ed sharply After period of rather feverish tiuctuation, these stocks set tied down to firm and quiet tone near the top while the urgent demand for stocks went seeking through the list advancing first one group and then another. Scarcely a stock failed to move even the neglected and despised coalers coming in for gains of l to 8 points. The only exceptions to the strength were the stocks advanced yes- terday and day before, which were held back for profit taking, The Northern and Union Pacific stocks were conspic- uous examples. A squeeze of shorts in Sugar and a shaking out of weakly margined holdings in Tobacco were clipped by profit taking in a majority of cases, but the closing was steady, only slightly below the best. The cas- ing of the sterling rate was probably due to the falling off of buying of stocks in London for New York &C., count. Sales for London account in this market continued large but not as large as yesterday. There was good demand for bonds at higher prices. To- tai sales, S4.065,000.

GREAT POLITICAL BATTLE
Commences With the Republican Stat

Commences With the Republican State
 Convention in Wisconsin.
 Milwaukee Aug. 1.-The greatest political battle in the history of Wis consin politics began to-day at 1920 p. m. when the state republican conven- ton assembled for the selection of a full state ticket It was the largest gathering ever held in this state and one of the largest ever held in any state The 1,067 delegates occupied half the floor space, the galleries of Exposi- tion building being filled with specta- tors. Before the convention assembled the supporters of both Governor Sco- field and Robert M. Lefolette expressed confidence that their man would be chosen.
 Chairman Coe of the state central committee called the convention to or der under the authority of the formal call. John M. Twin was chosen to act as secretary, who proceeded immedi- ately to call the roll. All delegates were present. and as soon as the result had been announced MT. Coe announced that General Michael Griffin of Flu Claire had been chosen to act as tenn porary chairman, and the announce ment was greeted with cheers. After General Griffin concluded his remarks Colonel L. J. Rusk was chosen chair man of the committee on permanent organization and Colonel w. E. Carter was selected chairman of the commit tee on resolutions. The convention then, at 1:05, took a recess until 2:30 D-

c. IT. A IL MATTERS

John Kelly of New Britain, state sec retary of the c. T. A. U. for the past three years, has announced that he will not be candidate for reelection at the state convention of the order, which will be held at Wallingford September 6. New Haven county expects to fur nish his successor, and John McGowan and John J. Corbett, both prominent young men in the work of total absti- hence in the Elm City, are mentioned for the place. MT. Corbett, who holds a position with the New Haven Union, has been a candidate before.
 Speaking of the manner in which some of the offices will be filled, a writ CT in the Meriden Journal states as fol- lows
 ,"Rev. John T. Winters has ably rep resented the Connecticut union during the past three years as its president. He is dignified, courteous gentleman, | a sincere total abstainer and man be- loved and admired by his associates in the cause in Connecticut.
 
 are, or at least were, laborious during his office holding term. In the past few years he has built up a handsome edi- fee in South Norwalk. Naturally the formation and completion of such a work required a great deal of his time. At the convention in Winsted two years ago he expressed a desire to retire from the presidency of the union, but the delegates, recognizing his true worth, insisted upon him retaining the honor. It is anticipated that the desire will manifest itself at the Wallingford con- ! vention. If so, the delegates will be- | come more insistent. As one delegate | put it this morning, Without Father Winters the Catholic abstainers in Con- necticut wouldn't be the banner union'"
 | New Haven County Director A. J. Kelly is candidate for first vice presi- | dent. MT. Kelly has ably performed the duties of county director, and it is | only fair to presume that he will be &C., corded the honor.
 Another candidate with likely chance
 of success is Henry E. Norris of New | Haven MT. Norris wishes to be the | delegate to the Chicago convention in 1899. He is being backed by John F. Heslin of New Haven and it looks fa- 1 vorable for MT. Norris.
 This early naming of the probable
 candidates for state offices to the un- ! sophisticated, as it were, savers very strongly of political methods. Nothing is further removed from the minds of
 the suggestors. To the c. T. A. U. | of Connecticut it has a deeper signifi-
 canoe. It means good-natured rivalry and an earnest desire to secure the best | leaders.

in all sections for completing the hay ing and for harvesting the grain.
 From all sections the reports are Ia yorable to corn. It is growing fast and a large yield seems assured. In the vicinity of Northheld, Vt, sweet corn will be ready for canning a week to ten days earlier than usual. Winter wheat in some fields f New Hampshire will yield as much as twenty bushels to the acre. In many sections of all the states grain is now oYer-ripe, and there is danger of loss. In few cases where oats and barley have been cut and are standing in shocks the grain is sprout- ing. If safely secured, the grain crop will be bountiful.
 Much grass remains to cut in the northern portion. As there is still hope of suitable weather for completing the harvest, it is not considered that much loss will occur. Meadows and pastures are now in excellent condition, promis- ing fall feed in abundance and of fine quality. owen is generally reported as good.
 Apples have improved; the quality will make up in many instances for the loss in quantinty. The wet weather favored berries, which are plentiful. Peaches in some orchards are ripening prematurely and rotting. Grapes are not reported as very good Cranberries are generally reported an average crop.
 Vegetables continue abundant, espe- cially in gardens. While there is much rust and blight reported generally, the potato crop for the district as a whole u,it yJ do at Early varieties are now being dug, es- pecially in the south. Tomatoes are abundant, but need sunshine. Vines, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, etc, promise good crops. It Is too wet for beans, though little damage is reported.
 The tobacco crop is reported in good condition and is promising. Cutting is now at full height in numerous sections.

The Best Place. Mountain Meadow House, Pine Hill, New York,
 AuplIst 15 1S9S.

August 10, loJo, To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: After thirty-five years of summering in the beautiful Catskills, the writer has at length found by far the finest lo- cation of all that he has as yet seen in that region. It is in the southwest Catskills, about three miles from Pine Hill station on the Ulster x Delaware railroad, and similar distance from the Grand Hotel station. This house, situated on farm of some 150 acres, is kept by MT. Warren Townsend, the farm supplying the table almost entire- ly. There are few, if any, boarding houses at this elevation, 2,550 feet, which is some 50 feet higher than the Kaaterskil or the Grand, and the view therefrom of hill and dale is indeed beautiful, Another point in it's favor is it's accessibility, as by leaving on the West Shore road, Rip Van Wrinkle flyer" foot of Forty-second street, at 10 a. m., the traveller reaches this house in about four and one-half hours!
 About 12 miles from here is located
 
 Catskills, from which a magnificent view can be obtained. But for one wearied by many weeks of incessant la Dor it is enough at first simply to gaze at the varying hues of the mountains, and breathe in the balm-laden breezes which are felt here if any blow; and they do most of the time.
 Probably the weather to-day is excess sively muggy in New Haven; here, how ever, there is fine dry breeze from the southeast and the mercury indicates 71 degrees
 Most of the hotels and boarding houses in the Catskills are well patron ized this month, though last month, be- fore the excessively disagreeable wealth. CT, the prospects of good season were not very bright. D. A. A.

SURPRISE OF THE SEASON.
What Boston Critic Says About One of
 Manager Polls Attractions.

Manager PO1ts Attractions.
 Sherwin Lawrence Cook in the Bos- ton Budget says:
 "One of the real successes of the vaudeville year has been the sketch, Managerial Troubles presented this week at Keith's theater by Idalene Cot ton and Nick Long. Miss Cotton is one of the surprises of the season. She is a graceful dancer, a good singer, an admirable mimic, and full of that inde- finable qaulity known as chic. MT. Long also does excellently."
 This bright pair, well remembered in the legitimate as the French maid in Miss Frances of Yale" and the spa keeper in 'The Girl from Paris,' will be at the Wonderland next week.
 The accompanying feature in the opening of the seasons bill will be Leonidas troupe of trained cats and dogs, of which it is hardly necessary to say a word in this city, owing to their great successes at former ap- pearauce at the Wonderland. They have all their old tricks and many new ones, the sensational acts being the cats parachute jump, the murder, the arrest, the stolen dinner and the hur- dle race.

NEW ENGLAND CROP BULLETIN.
Weekly Just Issued by Department of
 Agriculture.

Weekly Just Issued by Department of
 Agriculture.
 The United States Department of Agriculture weekly crop bulletin for New England, issued August 18th, is as follows: General cloudiness, excessive ly moist atmosphere and frequent showers, with uniform temperature, near the average, prevailed during the week in about all sections of the dis trict The moisture and the showers, together with seasonable temperature, have been favorable to luxuriant growth of all vegetation, They have, however, retarded all farm work. Hay ing has remained at standstill, and grain has become over-ripe for want of suitable weather for harvesting. The warm, moist weather in few in- stances, has injured grass, grain, po- tatoes and fruit.
 While the temperature has ranged and averaged somewhat lower than the preceding week, the weather was gene rally considered unpleasantly warm. Owing to the high per cent of relative humidity the atmosphere was sultry and oppressive. The conditions were, nevertheless, those under which all veg citation makes rapid strides. The fol- lowing figures express the weekly av- craze temperatures at the several sta- tions of the weather bureau:
 Eastport, 62; Northfeld, Vt, 66; Bos- ton, 70 Nantucket, 70; Albany, 68; New York city, 72.
 Though showers were of frequent oc- currence in about all sections the rain- fall was excessive only in southern parts of the district In portions of Mas sachusetts, node Island and Connecti- cut there was an over-supply of water toward the close of the week. The amounts, in inches, at the weather bu- reau stations for the week are as fol- lows:
 Passport, 0.10; Portland, 0.50; North field, Vt, 0.3O; Boston, 2.50; Nantucket, 1.3O; Albany, 0.60; New York city, 1.1O.
 CONDITION OF CROPS.
 Growing crops of all kinds are in ex- cellent condition and advancing rapid ly. In some instances 1t is stated that the growth has been sufficiently rapid to detract from the nutritive as we'll as the palatable qualities of the products. As a result of the continued showery weather and humid atmosphere farm work of many kinds was abandoned, es- pecially all harvesting. The conditions favored small fruits, but were unfavor- able for grapes and peaches. Potatoes and vines were also injured. Grass and pastures have thriven wonderfully, and were never in better condition at this season. Sunshine is now much needed
