where the street will probably be
opaned up some time Damages can
not be recovered for buildings erected

portion Of it belongs to the Hounsfield
estate and tho remainder to the Board
of Education, being part of the tract
purchased for the new high school
which is now peing built.
The proposed extension will be at

The PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
Discussed by Prof =. J.. Emerson at the
Algonquin Club Friday Evening.

Tho members of the Algonquin club were
fortunate Friday evening in being per
mittcd to listen to Il discussion of "1he
Philippine Question:" given before the
club members by Prof s. +. Emerson.
The following is an abstract containing
the leading thoughts of the address:
The human problem, the problem with
which We are all concernod d, differs in our
age from that Of other ages. We had IL
musical presentation Of that problem in
the dclightiul concert given by Mrs
liowos the other evening that in its wild
despair and frenzied sentiment revealed
the failure of a satisfactory solution.
The medieval STATE mcnt of the problem
was abneSdtion Of natural Impulse and
modification of the fcsl. The salvation Of
the true lite was by turning ones back
upon nature and the earth. The modern
statement of the ques ton, and the
correctcr is the cooperation Of
the human mind with the forces of
nature. The parallel development of hu-
man faculties and the resources of ma
tune. Civilization is the product Of this
harmonious working together. All this re-
suit appIC inmates the IDEAL 1t promise the
highest development of human capacity
in conjunction with the development OF
the resources of nature. If this is the
law of civilization expansion follows as Il
natural result 1t has its force in the i'm

capital. in the subsistence of rapidly
Increasing porulaticn in the necessities
Of trade and of manufacture ana in the

The mail of each senator is placed up n

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The weekly crop report issued from
the United States weather office tells a
distressing tale of drought throughout
the state. The report says: The first
three days of the week were cool with
light frosts In some of the upper pen
insula and the northern counties of
the lower peninsula; the last four days
were very warm. Moderately heavy
showers occurred in portions of the
upper peninsula, but not drop OF rain
is reported from any station In the
lower peninsula; generally the weather
has been hot and dry, and this con-
dition was intensified by the nearly
cloudless skies that have prevailed
most of the week. The effect on corn,
late potatoes, beans and pastures IN
the southern half of the state has been
worry detrimental; in the principal agri-
cultural counties of the lower PENN
sula corn and beans are drying up and
ripening prematurely. Pastures are
very brown and late potatoes are
nearly at a standstill. Many farmers
have been cutting their corn in order
to save it for fodder, and beans have
ripened prematurely and their harvest
already begun in some counties. Fall
blowing is fairly well advanced in the
central and southern counties, but the
parehed soil has brought much of this
work to standstill and farmers are
waiting for rain before resuming pre-
parations for the seeding of fall wheat
and rye. Rain is therefore very much
needed in nearly every county of the
lower peninsula. In the upper PENN
sula the conditions have been generally
favorable and crops have made good
progress.
