Weekly Crop Bulletin.

According to the weekly report OF
the Michigan weather bulletin the
temperature for the state during the
past week was SO degrees, or one de-
gree above normal; the average total
precipitation O. A of an inch, or O. 06 of
an inch below normal; and the sum
shine averaged SO per cent OF the pos
sible amount. Generally the weather
has been dry and hot. The lack of
moisture has been felt the most in the
southern counties, where pastures are
rapidly drying up and corn has rolled
considerably. In these counties also
the ground has been too dry for fall
blowing. Corn, beans and late pota-
toes are, however, in generally good
condition and have made fair progress
during the past seven days. The 'es-
ent condition of corn indicates tn it
will be safe from frost about Sept 10
in the southern counties, and about
Sept. Is in the central and northern
counties. Beans are beginning to
ripen. The oat harvest is very near
completion in most counties, and the
bulk of the crop has been well secured.
Sugar beets continue to grow finely
and are in promising condition.

Wilcox was aroused, and with revolver
in hand went to the old gentleman's

lar and he made a rush for liberty by
the front door exit, which he had
thoughtfully unlocked before attack
ing Mr.. Millington. BY the time the
burglar reached the door Mr.. Wilcox
was almost upon him. The burglar
pulled his revolver and fred, but the
weapon refused to work. Not so with
Mr.. Wilcox's gun, as he succeeded in
planting a 49, calibre bullet in the
back of his intruder, which subse-
quently led to his capture. The fell
low gave his name as Frank Temple,
but refused to tell where he lived. At
