complaint of "fy" in early wheat.
Rust is also frequently reported, but
so far is confined to the blades.
Medium early wheat now promises
the best yield. Late wheat is over
run with weeds. "Heads short, low
and thin on ground" is the ex-
preston most frequently used by
correspondents in describing the con-
ditiOn.
Both western and southeastern
sections report corn planting not
completed with close of month. In
the central section corn is all above
ground and some is quite forward.
Much replanting has been found nee
essary due to defective seed. The
acreage compared with acreage of
1898 is 92. The condition compared
with average year, is 81. The cOndi-
ton June |, 1898, was 80. The sew
eral section show the following con-
diti0ns: western, so; central, S5;
southeastern, 81. In the western
section the crop in many counties is
getting foul, cultivation being re-
tarded by excessive rainfall.
OATS.
The oat crop is small in acreage,
and aprearS to be receiving little at
tentiOn. There has been an improve
ment in condition during the month
from 10 on May LIST 10 80 ON June LIST.
HEMP.
In the hemp district the crop is re-
ported in good condition. Recent
advance in price has had a marked
effect on acreage. The acreage COM
pared with 1898 is 10l. Scott county
reports an increase of 30 per cent,
but in Bourbon county the acreage
Is reported but 10 per cent. of the
, acreage of 1898.
TOBACCO.
Tobacco plants are plentiful and
setting has been rushed. In some
counties there was lack of season
until the closing days of the month.
In western Kentucky rain has pre-
vented preparation of the ground.
Per cent. Of crop set prior 10 June
lst: In western section 4S, central SO,
and southeastern 35. GrasshOppers
and cut worms have played havoc
with early set tobacco in a number
of counties. Indications point to an
average acreage in the principal
tobacco growing districts.
PASTURES AND MEADOWS.
Pastures are unusually luXuriant,
especially in the central district,
where the condition compared with
average years SOB. Clover meadows
promise a fine yield of excellent
quality but timothy meadows are
overrun with "white blossom"
The wool clip is estimated ut 81
per cent. of the clip of 1898. The
price for "clear, unwashed" wool
averages zoe, which is drop Of lc
from prices Of last year.
There has been a decided decline
in fruit prospects during May.
Apples have fallen off until the con-
ditiOn compared with average years
is but 81, whereas it was 81 on May
LIST. Pears have declined from SO 10
AZ, and grapes from 81 to 81.

she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing Of US
a bottle Of DR.. Kings New Discovery

relieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,

A formidable rival to the kissing
bug has put in an appearance in Phil
adelphia. 1t is known as the strang-
ling bug. William j. Burris was
attacked by species Of the pest late
Tuesday night. According to Burris
the bug appeared and began to circle
around his head. He attempted to
drive it away, but it kept up the
attack and finally he succeeded in
killing it by a blow from his hat. The
bug is nearly three inches in length,
while its wings from tip to tip meas
ure FIVE inches. 1t is OF brownish
color and resembles somewhat huge
locust. According to an African
explorer, who has encountered the
bug in northern Africa, it attacks the
throat, sucking the blood until it is

The Santa Fe and the PecOs Valley.

The talk is rife in railroad circles
that the Santa Fe will take charge Of
the Pecos Valley Il Northeastern
railroad August /, and operate II
10 its own name. 1t is known
that the PecOs Valley railroad is a
Santa Fe project pure and simple,
merely being built and operated under
another name.
II the Santa Fe takes charge OF the
Pecos Valley, it means that the road
is ready to begin building the much
talked otcut-Off from point on the
Pecos Valley line 10 Guadalupe coun.
ty, New Mexico, to Ysleta Junction,
near Albuquerque. The Santa Fe has
already leased the Colorado & South
ern Fort Worth & Denver) tracks
from Fort Worth to Trinidad and now
has outlets from Amarillo to Galveston
and Denver.
There can be no doubt that the
Santa Fe is contemplating something
big In the Pecos Valley territory.
Following close upon the opening OF
the superintendent's and other offices
10 Wellington August /, it is
said that the Santa Fe will establish
train dispatchers' Offices at Wood,
ward. This means that the Panhandle
division is to become an important
line, and the train service over it will
be greatly improved, Heretofore the
Panhandle line has been a sort oI
branch line Of the main road, and the
trains on the west end are at present
handled from Wellington. To estab-
lish train dispatcherS' offices at Wood
ward means that the line west ol
Woodward is to become Of much i'm
portance, and possibly has direct
bearing on the Albuquerque cutoff.
Hereafter this division will bt
known as the Panhandle division

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infsmed condition Of the mu-
cuos lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when Il is
entirely closed deafness Is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal cOndi-

Japanese Suicides.

japanese public authorities are wor-

suicides. Most of them seemed to be
caused by love, and the simultaneous
suicide of two lovers who find their
union impossible owing to parental in
reference or want of money is be-
coming frequent. There has been an
average of three such eases a week in
Yokohama alone during the last year.

RUSSIA UP WITH THE TIMES.
Frauds In the Construction OF the ss-
berfan Railway Have Been
Uncovered.

1t is not known that those in charge
Of the construction of the Siberian rail-
way were ever under the tutelage OF the
members of the American Credit Mobi-
Iier, but, judging by reports that come
from that region, they would have been
apt pupils. They certainly have trick
or two that would put their American
compatriots TO the blush:
1t appears that the different works
have been executed in manner that
shows very little conscience. Every
thing, or nearly everything, will have to
be done over again before the authori-
ties can think of throwing open this gi-
gantic line to regular working. In
very many places the road gives way on
the passage of a train little heavier
than usual or travelling at speed OF
more than 20 miles an hour, and acci-
dents more or less grave are continual
ly happening. More than usual cour-
age is demanded of anyone undertake
ing a journey on this railway. This
construction a la ruse has already swal-
lowed up hundreds of millions of rubles,
or, to speak more truthfully, the con-
structors and not the construction have
absorbed the millions. People are be-
ginning to ask how it will finish. There
is still more. Several Siberian journals,
which are, moreover, closely controlled
by the local censors, publish the follow
ing statements: For several months
the navy contractors have not been paid
in cash despite the terms of their con-
tracts. The engineers in charge, who
represent the government, declared
that they had no more money and that
the contractors must be satisfied with
bonds. which the Siberian and Chinese
banks have for some time discounted at
sh per cent. Frequently these bonds
were not paid on falling due and in con-
sequence the banks refused to act any
longer as Intermediates between the
government engineers and the con-
tractors. 1t was only when one of the
engineers, Prince A, who had made
a fortune. undertook to be personally
responsible to the banks that they re-
sumed the functions of discount brok-
ars. But the princes guarantee is
somewhat costly, seeing that he claims
little fee of Is per cent. The contract
ors are furious, but they find them
selves helpless, owing to the clause in
serted in all the contracts to the effect
that disputes between the engineers
and the contractors of the line have to
be settled in st. Petersburg. To lodge
complaint 5000 miles from the spot
where the circumstances have occurred
is at least inconvenient and would en-
tail years delay. The position of the
unfortunate navvies themselves can be
imagined from the treatment OF the
contractors. Their wages are paid very
irregularly and always with deduc-
lions. Badly fed and badly lodged, it is
not surprising if they give only half
heart to the work. Chicago Chron-
icle.

COSTLY BICYCLE TRAVEL.
A Man who Kept Accounts Finds
That the Expense Is Two
Cents n Mile.

It seems somewhat curious, consider
ing the present cheapness of bicycles
and the great skill of riders, that any
one should look upon cycling as expen-
sive, compared with other methods of
travelling Several Chicago wheelmen,
however, have frankly declared that,
from May to October, their bicycle ex-
penditures aggregate more than would
the fares on street cars, steamboats,,
and so on, which they would spend in
reaching places they now reach by
wheel.
A rider in Connecticut, who has in
vestigated the matter has submitted
the following conclusions:
"The bicycle is not only means Of
recreation and pleasure to many per-
sons-it is a laborsaving and time-sav-
ing machine. A gentleman who makes
daily use of one declares, however, that
it costs more to ride on a bicycle than
it does to ride on trolley car. He adds
up the amount paid for repairs in the
course of a year, including four per
cent. interest on the original cost of the
machine, and divides the sum obtained
by the number of miles indicated by
his cyclometer The answer is always
over two cents per mile ridden. The eX-
ercise is pure profit, and the gentleman
in question considers it fair dividend
on the investment"
Here is a question which cyclists have
discussed and may continue to discuss
with a good deal of interest. It's So
luton, if the wheel is considered pure
~ as business investment, will not be
difficult to accomplish. But the in
stances are so few. relatively, where BIZ
cycles are used with a view solely to
economic travelling expenses that. in
order to treat the subject consistently,
a generous allowance should be made
for the physical advantages which in
most cases follow the wheels use.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.
