Des Moines, Aug. 1.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued today as follows:
The temperature during the past
week was variable. ranging from five
degrees above to ten below the normal;
but being generally dry the weather
conditions We're about all that could be
desired for rapid progress in haying
and harvest operations. In the south
ern section the bulk of small grain is In
shock or stack, and threshing is in
progress. In the northern and central
sections the work of cutting grain is
we'll advanced, and in extensive dis
tricts 1T is nearly completed. A few
more days of good weather will be suf-
ficient to secure the late sown fields of
spring wheat and oats in fine condition.
Early reports of threshers show vari-
able results, but the yield of oats is
generally fair to good.
The rainfall of the week was very
light except in few scattered locali-
ties. and many reports indicate that
of more moisture but no material in
jury has been done, and the condition
of corn has steadily improved through
out the month of July. With a mod
crate supply Of moisture and season.
able temperature in the coming month
the output of the corn crop is likely te
be fairly satisfactory. 1t is a week to
ten days late compared with last year,
but with seasonable temperature in
September there will be ample time to
mature the crop.

An Arrest in rlOntyiile.
Adjourned.

There were some developments the past
week in the matter of the awlessness re-
Gently perpetrated in Montvile. One arrest
was made, and it is thought that other ar
rests may follow. State Detective Odlin of
Lewiston is at work in the vicinity and as a
result Frank A. Choate was arrested on a
charge of stealing and destroying the prop
erty taken from DR.. Ramsey, carried to Lib
erty and hearing held Saturday before
Trial Justice Arthur W. Ritchie Choate
pleaded not guilty, but the justice found
''probable cause" and ordered him to recog-
nize for appearance at the Supreme Court.
He was brought to Belfast jail and again
taken to Liberty Monday and a hearing was
held before Justice Ritchie for the burglaries
at Charles Batchelder's. He was found
guilty on this charge and committed to Jail
in default of bail.
Detective Odlin says: 81 believe that We
nave captured the right man, OF one Of the
right men, and there will be more develop
ments later" This case is peculiar one
About all the incendiary fires and other dep
relations have been of the most wanton
character, and are not the work of an ordi-
nary criminal. Some even think the person
who has committt all these acts must be
insane.

lie Lightship Columb bia, of which he had
'omm and 1t was at the mouth of the Co.

18th. The Lightshlp parted her cable, which
eft her to the mercy of the waves, with the
wind blowing at the rate of "A miles an hour.
Three tow boats endeavored to save her,
but the seas were SO perilous that they each
parted a hawser and left her to do the best
she could with all sails set. Capt. Harri-
man, having piloted on the river before TAX
lng the Lightship, knew of halfmile beach
and with great eXertion put her on to it
near Fort Candy Here the lifebOat was
used from the life-saving crew, but to no
purpose. The breeches buoy then was sent
to them and after the first trial all were
taken ashore, the captain leaving last Ore
seaman was severely hurt, another quite
badly, and Captain Fl. was thrown upon the
deck and had his back hurt, but is able to
move about. 1t was a narrow escape, for

Books and Their Uses.

The second lecture in the Teachers Club
course was given IN the High school room
last Friday evening by Rev. j. Nj Leighton.
His subject was Books and their Uses. -
He first quoted Johnson, Carlisle, Emerson
Ex-President Porter and others on the su b.
ject, and followed with an outline on his
own methods of reading. He reads freely
among books OF all classes. history. travel.
religion, science, politics, fiction, current
periodicals In fact whatever comes to hand
With most people reading goes by favor,
each individual reading what is of the most
interest or profit to himself No list Of one
hnndred best books can i've recommended for
universal reading He was not appIvipg
his remarks to professional people or schol-
aFs, whose line OF reading is of necessity
along certain lines, but to the average read
er. We ali have our fav0rite authors. W hose
| books gives us pleasure But it is good at
times TO put our faNorltes aside ana turn to
others. When we read for culture we must
read something besides light literature. A
book may be destitute of any evil features
aud yet be injurious. The reading of such
books IS idlent The objects OF reading
are to divert to strengthen thought, and to
stir noble sentiments. If book does not ac.
complish one OF these cast 1t aside. There
are book gluttons, who are yoracious read
ers, but who do not assimilate. The reading
of newspapers i'll the right way is advisable
Newspapers are numerous and cheap, and
many furnish decidedly good reading They
are examples Of PLAN, concise English
Even if one is not inclined to read he should
do so, for without reading it is impossible to
escape shalowness. Ii We read onetenth as
many words as we speak Of senseless gossip
we should be the better for it. Many people
keep books at hand to be picked up and
read in spare moments He cited the case
of woman who read one author i'll the
spare time after preparing her dinner before
her husband arrived from his business and
Of man who read all of his favorte author
while waiting for the kitchen fire in the
morning We should read for mental cul-
ture and facts. The less we are inclined TO
read the more stubbornly We should do it.
We should not COntine ourselves to any one
line, but read anything that is good, The
workingmen are the best readers, and read
standard works more than any other class.
This is shown by library statistics through
out the country. 1t is common error to
read new books. Old standard works are
passed over IN our craze for novelty Do
not attempt to be great reader, but read
attentIvely a few minutes every day We
should reread any book that makes a dis
tinet impression on the mind. We car al
ways 60 back to our old books and feel sure
Of finding something new We should read
to attain purer and better manhood and
womanhood.

offered prayer, followed by the hymn,
"Nearer, My God, to Thee, by the quartette
and audience
The LONG talk by the Sachem, Duncan
r. McAndless, was hne eulogy OF Wash
ington, and also showed why the Improved
Order of Red Men should specially honor
his memory. Washington was a member of
the Sons Of Liberty, which afterwards be-
came the Order of ST Tammany, and final
ly the present organization Of Red Men AT
the close of the talk the Sachem removed a
veil which had been hanging above his seat,
and the face of George Washington looked
down upon the audience, from fine oil

The Knights of Pythias ball will be held
Monday evening, Feb. 10Th, the anniversary
day of the order. This will make the third
consecutive X. of p ball held on Monday
evening. In 1898 the day fell on Saturday
and the ball was held Monday to avoid
dancing into Sunday morning. In 1899 it
fell on Sunday, and was postponed one day.
In 1900 it comes all right.
Grand Chancellor j. H. Maxwell of the
Maine knights of Pythias says that he ex-
poets that at the end of the year the returns
will show net gain in membership of at
least 900. Last year the net gain was less
than 100 He says, too, that the schools of
instruction are developing great interest
in the order. He thinks that the aggregate
attendance at the 20 schools will be all of g.
600, Nine schools have already been held
with a total attendance of 1000.
