WEATHER BUREAU BULLETIN.
Long Wet Spell Has Been Very Dis.
astrous to Crops.


Atlanta, Ca, Sept 13.-According to the
weekly crop bulletin of the local weather
bureau, the long wet spell has played
havoc with cotton, as well as corn and
other minor crops in this state.
The bulletin issued to-day says: THE
weather during the past week has been
but a repetition of what has prevailed for
nearly two months, and as a natural con-
sequence crops of all kinds have been af-
fected disastrously. Cotton and corn are
in a most critical condition. Both are rot
ting and sprouting in the fields, and can
not be saved so long as the rains con-
tinue. Boil worms and rust are on the
increase on cotton, and the present out
look is most discouraging. A large guam
tity or fodder has been ruined in the fields
and comparatively little has been saved
in good condition. Sugar cane is suffer-
ing least of any crop, but this would be
improved by sunshine. Considerable dam
age to lowland crops have resulted from
the recent overflows in the rivers There
is a very large and excellent hay crop
waiting to be saved as soon as dry weather
Gets in. Contemplating has been serious
ay retarded, as well as all farm work.

sEIGEIis GRAND BOUNCE.
Capital City Club Lets the Well
known Chef Depart.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 13.-The epcures of
the Capital City Club have had a row
with their cook, that is to say, the super
intendent of the Grub, Mr.. F. Seigel, is in
disgrace with the governing board, and
his resignation accepted.
Just what the trouble is all about, the
members of the committee refuse to di-
vulge, though all admit there has been a
Tumpus with the cook, and that the chef
is billed to depart in a few days.
incidentally, the trouble with Mr.. Seigel,
who has been managing things at the club
for five years, has caused division among
the club men themselves. Some sided with
the cook, and others against him, and ac-
cordng 60 accounts on the outside, there
has been a high old time over the matter
for several weeks past
Prominent men from all over the state
frequent the Capital City Club when in
town, and 20 them the bouncing of Chef
Seigef will be an item of much concern.

KICKING ON THE COUNTY TAX.
Atlanta Talking of Taking Her
Grievance 10 the Courts

az inc NOuTNA.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. Notwithstanding
the fact that the rate of taxation for the
county, fixed by the Board Of County
Commissioners, is 81 on the $1,000 on last
year, dissatisfaction mas sprung up and a
movement has been started to carry the
case into the courts to secure an iniunc-
ton
1t is claimed that the county has 10
right, under the law of the state, to levy
q tax for general purpose. not including
tax for paupers and for public buildings,
an excess of one-haf the state rate.
The rate fixed by the commissioners is
over one-h2lf the state rate, and the move
ment set afoot to-day by taxpayers is 10
compel the commissioners to make a uew
levy and reduce the assessment to within
the letter of the law. This viii be a novel
move as so far as IL known here no such
objection to the tax rate has ever before
been raised in Georgia.

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

Burglars take a great many chances.
Still, if they took nothing else, it
wouldn't be so bad. They frequently
take things for which they have no
earthly use. But at Pocatello, the
other night, one actually took some
thing he was very much in need of,
something that he really deserved.
It was a beating. 1t was all he got
that night, but it was all he could
stand
According to the report published in
yesterdays Herald, this burglar had
broken into a store owned by a man
named Kane. He made noise enough
to awaken the neighbors, but he
couldn't raise Kane. One of the neigh
bors, Will Smith, went to the open
window through which the burglar had
crawled, and called for him to come
forth.
This was most unusual request,
under the circumstances, but the lar
cener responded; as he emerged from
the temporary workshop, his head came
in sudden and frequent contact with a
board, one end of which was held by
this Mysterious Billy Smith of Idaho.
The burglar was taken to Jail on a
stretcher. AS soon as he is able to
move he will continue his journey to
the penitentiary.
Moral: As Little Editha would say:
Don't burgle.'

A CONDITION, NOT

In another column may be found a
communication from Hon. Charles
Crane. in which he declares himself
against the policy of territorial expan-
sion.
1t is too late to discuss this question.
Two or three months ago there might
have been something in an aggressive
opposition. Today it is ill-timed. The
die is cast. The nation has expanded.
| 1t is no longer a debatable question.
The mischief, if it be mischief, has
been done. There is only one thing to
/ do, under the circumstances, and that
is to make the best of it.
AS well discuss the wisdom of begin
ming the war as the policy of assuming
responsibility for it's results.
After the conflict was ended a proto-
| col was signed and commissioners were
appointed to meet representatives of
the Spanish government at Paris and
arrange the terms of final settlement.
The time for men to air their opinions
in relation to the retention of con-
quered territory was then. The Herald
pointed out every objectionable feature
of Philippine fellowship; it never urged
the retention of those islands. as Mr..
| Crane assumes in his letter. But the
] hour for that contention has passed,
and The Herald is not disposed to COM
plain about what has already been ac-
/ complished; it has no inclination to en-
| courage a sentiment the growth of
which, in this country, could accom-
plish little now save the embarrass-
ment of the representatives of this gov
eminent at Paris.
The situation is exactly this: An I'LL
! timatum was sent to Spain by duly au-
thorized commissioners Of the United
States. After weeks of haggling over
details, Spain consented to the condi-
lions imposed. A treaty has been made
How can terms of peace ever be ar
ranged if at such a time it is the part
of wisdom or of patriotism to refuse to
acknowledge the justice of the demands
made in the name and by the accredit-
ed agents Of this republic?
This is no time to debate the policy
of expansion. Expansion is here, and
what are we going to do about it? II
the language of Grover the Great, it is
a condition and not a theory that con.
fronts us.

Available Testimony.

A story being told by Major Menzies
is being circulated through the offices
in the state house, of a Vincennes law
yer who appeared for the defendant in
a trial by jury, and put on the witness
stand a boy from whose testimony ne
expected to gain great deal. To the
confusion Of the attorney, the story
told by the boy was greatly to the det-
rinlent of the defendant, and the atIor-
nay set to work to show that the BOY
was worthless"
what is your occupations" he asked
the boy.
'T work on my fathers farm" the
witness re0lied.
''You don't do much but sit around,
do Tou?'
"sWeIl. l help my father
But you're worthless aren't you?"

Then the attorney took another tack.

"Well, he works about the farm"
The attorney here fastened an eye
which cleaned with triumph on the
jury, and nailed the boy with a glance
from the other, and said
isn't it true that your father doesn't
do enough work to prevent his being
called worthless ?"
The boy chafed under these unpleas-
ant questions, and, summoning his
courage, he said, loudly: IF you want

WILL CONTEST THE LEASE.

Senator Rawlins and Congressman
King have served notice on Secretary
Bliss that they purpose to fight the
scheme of the Raven syndicate to take
control of the elaterite lands of Utah
under the Illegal Indian lease.
This determination will meet with the
hearty approval of Utah people. The
willingness of the administration to
turn over these deposits to a rich syn
dictate, to grant special favors in the
way of prospecting 100000 acres of
mineral lands with exclusive permis-
sion to select and make locations, is on
plane with the policy of fostering
trusts.
Utah has almost every character of
mineral wealth, but if this natural re-
source is to be given over to monopolies,
what assurance have the people of this
state that any other resource to which
some eastern corporation takes fancy
may not be disposed of in the same
high-handed way?
The privilege extended to this Raven
syndicate under the leasehold rights
guaranteed by the secretary of the in
terror, will have the customary effect
of increasing the profits of those in
control, and increasing the expense to
the consumer at the same time.
When it is considered that the pres
ent congress at its former session re-
fused to confer upon the secretary the
power to authorize such a lease, it
would seem that Utah's representatives
at Washington ought to be able to OBJ
tain a hearing.

Wanted the Waistcoat.
New York WORLDLY


While a crowd OF Harvard boys were
celebrating the Pennsylvania game in
the cafe of Boston hotel. one of the
students became infatuated with gor-
geous white waistcoat which was worn
by one of the colored walters. He called
the colored man and said to him: Il
want to buy that waistcoat" What
you want of that west, boss?" said the
man. Il just want to buy it. What
will you take for it?" After good
deal Of guffawing and some hesitation
the colored man allowed that he would
take S. for it. Done" said the Har-
ward man, and he pulled out a So Dill

to pull off the Waistcoat. "Oh, you
needn't do that" said the student. 81

had, and with them proceeded to mark

The General and the Private,

An exchange repeats this war story,
told by a member of General Miles
staff as an incident that occurred down
at Tampa before the departure of the
troops for Santiago. He was standing
in the Office of the Tampa Bay hotel
one evening, dressed in a plain bust
ness suit and smoking g. cigar, when a
tall raw-boned private from the Fifth
Maryland regiment strolled up to him
an dsaid:
Say, partner, give US a light"
The gentleman addressed put his
hand in his pocket, drew out silver
case, took a match from it, struck fire
and handed it politely to the soldier,
who thanked him and lighted his cigar.
The encounter was witnessed by the
porter of the hotel, who watched his
chance and said to the soldier:
'Who was the man who gave you the
match?'
'I don't know, except that he is a
gentleman" returned the Maryland
boy.
well, I'll tell you who he is" said
the porter, land you won't feel so big
when you know. 1t was General Miles. 81
1.-THE devil you sayw was the re-
Sponse as the soldier walked off in
chagrin Awaiting his opportunity, he
stepped UP to the general, with sa-
lutte, and said:
General, I have to apologize to you
for what may have seemed to you an
impertinence, but had never seen you
before, and you wore nothing to indi-
cate your rank, so took the liberty OF
addressing you as I would any stran-
ger, and I hope you will excuse me
for it,
Don't let that worry you" said Gen
eral Miles. 81 was private soldier

stantly floclSing in to hold conferences.
The management of the Tribune was
still on his shoulders, on top Of every
thing else, and he found it necessary
to bar the way to his Office by a corps
of underlings and secretaries. My
father tried vainly for several days to-
run this gauntlet, and at last ne sue
ceeded in making an appointment. He
was greeted at the hour named by an
assistant editor, who took him aside
and strongly impressed upon him the
necessity Of stating his case briefly and
plainly.
He also limited that Greeleys tenn
per was none of the best. and urged
him to consume as little time as pos
sible- With these injunctions in his ear
he was admitted to the inner sanctum,
where he discovered the editor seated
alone at large desk. For some mo-
mentS Greeley paid no attention to him.

turned abruptly, Aren't you a member
of the Checker club at Utica?' he asked.
My father was greatly startled by the
irrelevancy of the question and man
aged to reply that he was. 'H-m-mi'
said Greeley. Do you play a pretty
good gamer Fair said my father,
still more aStonished. At that Greeley
opened a drawer, took out checker
set and invited my father to be seated.
| III try you game now, he said. They
played for about two hours, while the
crowd chafed and clamored outside Ac-
cording to my fathers account they
tied, and he won the rubber During
the games Greeley never said a word
about politics, and my father was so in
tereSted and I dare say so excited by
the novelty of the situation, that he
clean forgot his errand until he was
on the train coming home. He never
saw Greeley again. A few. months later
the editor was dead"
