Salt Creek.

We have had a cold backward
spring and very disheartning for the
farmer.
Work resuming on the III. l.. G.
rail road is helping considerable
labors and farmers, also the Chair &
Spoke factories at Laurelville are
doing immense business.
Speaking of the good roads question
I would say, there is fatal error
committed by the voters of most of
the road districts in the county, for
the majority vote uniudicIous, in
stead of selecting men qualified they
select some infirm old man a 100 yrs.
behind time or they select a fellow
just because he is good fellow and
probably he don't know enough to
build hen coop. A reform is badly
needed in this before we can get an
interest started.

General Crop Summary.

There has been much sunshine
during the week just passed, with
high temperatures the first of the
week, and cooler weather and frosts
during the last part. During a
thunderstorm on the night of the
18th one barn was destroyed by
lightning, and house struck, in
Green Hill, Columbiana county.
The precipitation has been below
the normal for the week,
The weather has been very favor
able for farm work, and it is being
pushed very fast. In the extreme
northeastern part of the state but
little farm work has been done, but
in most sections corn, oat and barley
ground is being plowed. and oats and
barley are being sown. Some to-
bacco beds haye been sown and
gardens made and early potatoes
planted in the south. Grape vines
and berry canes are found to be con-
siderably frozen in many sections.
1t is thought that strawberry plants
are in good condition. Most corre-
spondents report that cIoyer sown
last year, and the late seeded pieces
this spring are in good condition,
while the early sown lis somewhat
damaged. Pastures are starting
slowly, and there is little feed as yet.
The season has been very favorable
for maple sugar making.
The general report is that the
wheat outlook has been. much i'm
proved during the warm weather,
and that the fields are growing green
very fast, particularly on early sown,
we'll fertilized ground. In some
central counties, however, as the
wheat starts up it is found that it is
killed worse than was thought, and
in north western counties the out
look tor the crop is very poor. Most
correspondents in eight or nine
northwestern counties. report that a
large per cent of the wheat fields will
be plowed up, and oats or barley
sown, or corn planted instead; one
in Van Vert and one IN Paulding
county puts this estimate at 80 per
cent. 1t is very dry in this section,
and some say that a warm rain
might save much of the wheat yet,
and that a fair estImate of the
damage cannot be given until after a
rain.

The first witness called was T. f. Sexton.
He said he was talking with Jesse when he
saw Griffin coming toward them with his
thumbs in the armholes of his vest and
and his hat on one side OF his head. He
was smiling, the witness said, apparently
at Jesse. He noticed a change come over
Jesse when he saw him and Jesse suddenly

this town, marched through a country so
muddy that the mules all collapsed. He oc-
cuped the town without fighting, the in
surgents retreating under cover of the creek
beds. Later reconnoitering in force south

where hidden insurgents poured several vol
leys upon the general and his staff. The
rebels resisted stubbornly. The reconnoiter-
ers, consisting of Captain Geary's battalion
of the Thirteenth regiment and two guns OF
Riley's battery, drove the insurgents two
miles, fighting all the way. They found a

Filipinos flying red flags and captured
twenty-five insurgents, including three Off

WASHINGTON. oct. lit is practically
settled that the United States will look at-
ter the interests Of Great Britain In the
Transvaal in the event OF war.
Although Great Britain UP to late hour
today had made no formal request for such
action on the part OF the United States, it
is believed that there is a perfect under
standing to that effect between the repre-
Sentatives Of the two great powers.
Mr.. Tower, the British charge d'affares,
had another conference with Acting Sec
retary Hill Mt the state department to-
day, at which 1t is believed an understand
ing was reached that the United States would
look after British interests in the Trans

representatives is made necessary by dec

Transyaal and also in the British colony

country denying all of ]. Sterling Mortons
assertions"
In Nebraska City j. Sterling Morton said
to The Bee correspondent: "As an econ
omist Colonel Bryan is prestidgitator
While lecturing on free trade he denounced
and bemoaned high prices and lauded low
prices. But while lecturing for free silver
he damns low prices as the bane of pros
perity and praises high prices as the sole
tonic and test of prosperity. AS self
adjusting, reversible vote catching economist
Colonel Bryan is without peer. He wanted
free trade because it would make prices
lower. He wants free silver because 1t will
make them higher; but he wants office more
than he wants anything else, not to bestow
good upon the country, but money upon
himself"
Morton Suggests n Question.
tion: "Did Bryan tell the truth when he
denied my declaration or did he tell the
truth when he made the assertion: I as
sure that it is the money that is in the office
and not the honor that attracts me- "
The interview in which Mr.. Bryan de-
niles having made such assertion. 1t is
corroborated by Edwin Branch, who wa
present during the conversation.
The Conservative in it's issue tomorrow
morning will compare two of Bryans utter
ances, one in the letter to Morton and the
other in his letter accepting the presden-
tial nomination, which is:
The people of this nation, sitting in a
high court must render judgment in a
cause which greed is prosecuting"
