More Rain Is Needed.

WOODLAND, Jan. 9.-The optimistic
dispatches now appearing in the metro
politan press, the tenor of which is that
grain crops are now assured, are mis-
leading. The hay crop is the only one
that is now reasonably sure, and even
that may turn out to be a failure. Eight
or ten inches more rain is necessary to
insure a good grain crop. A number of
farmers in Western Yolo have made the
discovery that some of their grain sown
early in the season has rotted and it will
be necessary TO resoM

CHARLES Bowser. of THE Cuckoo Com
pany which appears al the Academy
next week, has a VIGOROUSLY bad memory

IN very embarrassing positions. During
his engagement in New York he was ex-
pecting the arrival OF one of his admirers
from Grand Rapids. Mich, from whom
he had been the recipient of many social
courtesies on his various visits to that
rapid town. He was particularly anx-
ious that his friend should see him as
"C~olefaxs" in the comedy a Wallack's,
in which he had made a very pronounced
hit. After the performance he intended
giving his guest a little supper, to which
he invited a number of fellow players. On
the day of his guests expected arrival he
called at the Imperial Hotel to present
him with a couple of seats. The clerk on
duty at the desk treated him very COR
daily.

A few short weeks ago, Judge Fort was
seheming and w~ire-puliing to get this
nomination. He IS out of his element on

The Republican machine is badly Jared
in Essex. The light against Major Carl
Lentz has played the deuce with it. The
Major and his friends are boiling with
rage. and his opponents are totally with
put confidence in their ability to run the
party VIGOROUSLY. stamping out internal
disafection and presenting a bold front to
the foe. Indeed they cannot do IT.
On the other hand, the Democratic
party Is getting into good shape. Though
It was beaten. last year. the campaign
served to weld IT together pretty conn

the strongest reason to expect that Essex
