the hot weather which has prevailed ior

doing such damage upon the growing
corn. In many instances whole fields
have had to be replanted, and hardly a
farmer has escaped the ravages of this
worm. The Hessian fly has appeared In
the wheat recently, and the crop In the

AT one time anticipated.

young farmer living near Wickline, III

first calf, another I'm June, 1898, and
third a week ago, during all of the time
never having been dry. The eve at two
years old had twins, the next season

The War Department has made public

In the reports submitted by General
Hale. Colonel Frost. of the First South

command ran into a, heavy insurgent fire
before daylight. and Colonel Frost found
them in the dark intrenching themselves
with their bayonets, meat tins, and the
tools intended for policing the camp They
made good their position till daylight, and
then. with the support of the artillery,
which sheked the insurgent trenches, they
made a gallant charge across the swamps
and fields, capturing the block-house be-
yond Sampoloc Cemetery hill. number
Of prisoners were captured i'm this charge
and sent to the Reserve Hospital. The
advance was again resumed, the regiment
from the bad lands coming into touch
with the Pennsylvania Regiment and con-
centrating with them on the Chinese
cemetery. Colonel Frost describes. this
charge as follows:
A GALLANT CHARGE.

The Black alnut.

From the Bcrel Quarterly.
The great size often reached by this tree,
the richness of the dark brown wood. the
unique beauty Of the grain sometimes found
in burs. knots, feathers and in the curl of
the roots. all conspire to make this the
most choice and high-priced Of all our ma
tive woods.
Twenty-Five years ago walnut was extern
sively used in the manufacture of fine fur
niture and finishings in this country, hut
manufacturers adroity drew attention to
the beauty of darkly-stained quartered oak.
and the use of the rarer wood has greatly
declined. But all this time the search for
fine black walnut logs has gone on sys-
tematically. though quietly. the trade at
tracing little attention, though the volume
of lumber handled has been large. Though
found to some extent in the Atlantic states
from Massachusetts southwark, the great
source of supply has been the central por-
lions of the Mississippi valley The walnut
is at home in the rich alluvial bottom lands
of the western streams and in the stony
limestone soils of the hills and mountains,
and in such localities the buyers have left
few trees unsurveyed Throughout eastern

NEW ATHLETIC UNION.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Members of the new Athletic Union are
making preparations for a large indoor

yesterday that the progress of the enter
prise was very satisfactory. He said:
A careful count of the active field and
track men enrolled so far Is 2S7 all of
whom express themselves as anxious to

Under the old Atlantic Association of
the Amateur Athletic Union little had been
done recently, and athletics had fallen to
low ebb. We have interested with US a
very large and active body of men. all with
a desire to work, and they are young men
who have awakened to the fact that in this
new district which We petitioned the ANA
teur Athletic Union to create there are
great possibilities, which have never been
utilized by the old and effete Atlantic Asso-
citation. In all We have found that there
are twenty-nine or more athletic organiza-
tons that have never been in the A. A. L..
and that never would have been in it under
the old order of affairs. These are good
clubs, and there are more probably of
