Cron Report.

The weekly crop bulletin says that
the weather conditions for the past
week have been very favorable for
crop growth and harvest work. Hay
ing has continued with very little in
terruption and large part OF the hay
crop is now secured in stack and barn;
the weld from old meadows has been
light, but from new ones moderately
heavy cut has been secured. Wheat
and rye harvest has begun in the ex-
IRENE southern part of the state.
Wheat has ripened very fast and still
continues to show considerable rust
and many fields are full of chess. Rye
is moderate good crop. Corn has
made splendid advancement; the fields
are clean and the crop looks strong
and healthy. Showers have improved
the condition of oats, but were insult
ficient. Early potatoes are ripening
and are being quite generally dug in
the southern counties. Late potatoes
are about all planted and are coming
up nicely. In southern counties pas
lures are brown and need rain badly.
Beans and sugar beets are being culti-
waited and are making good progress.

Liberals Predict Conservatives Fall.

The recent double liberal victory at
the Oldham election in England is
taken in conjunction with other recent
ye-elections and votes in the house of
commons as being most humiliating to
the ministry and there are signs in
many directions that the liberal union
lists are asking themselves why they
are sitting on the tory benches and
supporting measures eXemplifying the
old and discredited devices of conser-
vatism. The liberals are exulting and
even go to the extent of predicting an
early dissolution. 1t is rumored that
the recent cabinet meeting was stormy
and that many differences developed,
but so long as the ministry can adjust
its differences, it is probable that a
dissolution will not occur before the
autumn of 1900.

Had to Close Its Doors.

The doors of the Citizens National
bank of Niles, were closed on the sth
by National Bank Examiner Joseph
w. Selden, who was appointed tempo
rary receiver of the bank by the comp
troller of the currency. The cause of
the failure of the bank is poor loans
which have been made, to meet which
the comptroller levied an assessment
upon the capital stock of the bank.
The stockholders failed to meet this
assessment, and the receiver was APP
pointed in consequence. The last
statement of the Citizens National
bank showed loans and discounts
amounting to sl69 500; surplus, SIC, 600;
capital, $500 An effort will be
made to reopen shortly

The most disastrous fire which has
ever visited Pontiac occurred shortly
after o'clock on the evening of the
10th in the factory of the Pontiac

stock at between $4,000 and $40, 900
was entirely destroyed. The insur-
nnce was less than $40, GOO. The works
was one of the busiest of the Pontiac
factories and it's loss is blow to the
city as well as the owners, and rs men

All but one of the seven members of

Big Four passenger train on the 9th.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reinhard and their five
children were out for an afternoon
drive in a surrey. They approached
the railroad crossing just as the wess-
bound passenger train came along.
The vehicle was knocked into splinters
and Mr.. and Mrs. Reinhard and two of
their sons were killed outright and
two others were so badly injured that
they died after being removed to a
hospital. The fifth son sustained a
fractured collar bone and other lesser
injuries, but it is believed he will re-
cover. The horse, which was attached
to the surrey, was literally ground to
pieces The crossing has long been
considered dangerous one, the view
of incoming trains being obscured by
high fence around the fair grounds.
The train was running at high speed.

Convention not AS Largely Attended as
was Expected.

The Christian Endeavor delegates to
the national convention at Detroit
commenced arriving on the 4th, but
the bulk of the $1,000 did not reach
the city until late on the 5th. The re-
ception committee were on hand at the
depots and wharfs TO meet all incom-
ing trains and boats The system
used by the committee in handling the
large delegation is an excellent one,
and done away with much of the con-
fusion usually attendant upon the car
ing for such vast crowd
A brief song service opened the big
meeting on the evening OF the 5th. 1t
was sort of an informal service, and
the two or three songs were led by
Rev. w. H. Clark, who has trained the
big choir for the convention. After
the last of the songs an expectant hush
settled over the throng OF people, and
President f. Z. Clark assembled the
platform and stretched out his hands
for silence. In moment his voice
sounded clear and distinct, even to the
remotest edges Of the large tent: II
want you to give a cheer" he cried, as
he held up little dark wood gavel,
"a cheer for the gavel with which this,
the 18th annual convention of our So
ciety is now called to order. 1t was
made for us by the members of the
Christian Endeavor society in Jackson
prison. / want to tell you, too, that
member of that society never went
out of Jackson prison who went
back again. Now want you to cheer
for our comrades who are in prison. "
The first cheer was not satisfactory to
Mr.. Clark and he called for second,
which was responded to in an able
manner, after which Rev. j. G. Butler
