Corn Makes favorable Progress in thez
Middle states.
The Agricultural Departments crop re-
port gives the following summary of crop
conditions:
Notwithstanding excessively heavy
rains on the vest gulf coast and in por-
tons of the central Missouri valley, and
the prevalence of drought to a greater or
less extent in the middle and south At
lantic States. and over portions of Mis-
souri, Kansas and Oklahoma, the week
has been generally favorable in the dis
tricts east of the Rocky Mountains.
Throughout the Rocky Mountain and
plateau regions there is general scarcity
Of water. especially in the southern dis
triets.
The condition of corn in Kansas and
Nebraska is less favorable than in the
previous week, and the crop is suffering
for rain in portions of Missouri, southern
Ohio, West Virginia. Maryland, Virginia
ind North Carolina In Indiana, Illinois.
and Iowa corn has made very favorable
progress, and is improved in Kentucky,
Tennessee and PENNSYLVANIA, Harvest
ing of winter wheat is about completed
except in the more rortherly districts,
the weather conditions being very favor
able for this work in the districts east
of the Mississippi river except in portions
of New York, whore it has been inter
rupted by rains. Harvesting is well adj
vanced on the Pacific coast
Improvement in the condition Of spring
wheat is reported from Minnesota and
South Dakota, and while no decided inn
provement is reported from North Da-
kota the weather conditions in that State
have been propitious. In Minnesota the
crop has suffered some damage from local
firms. Fair to good yields are expected
in the extreme southeastern counties OF
South Dakota
Dat harvest is in progress in the States
of the central valleys and very fine crop
generally is being secured in good condi-
ton.
Wet weather has interrupted haying in
northern New England. but elsewhere
hay is nearly completed in the States of
the central valleys. Rains have caused
damage to hay in Michigan, Louisiana
and Texas.
a general Improvement in the condi-
tion of cotton is reported except in Flor
ida and Louisiana. but the plant is small
and is fruitiag slowly liz the central and
eastern districts. whore some fields are
still grassy. In Texas the crop has made
good growth, but is very uneven and the
early planted is fruiting well, except in
scattered localities.

BRITISH LOSS is OVER 200.
Fight at NitraI's Mex a Stubborn At
fair-Many Officers Hit.

Ad1T-4FAanJ OIuCSTS
Except for the scanty and unimpor-
tant details Of the British disaster at
Nitral's Mex there is little news from
South Africa. 1t now seems beyond doubt
that the British were absolutely surprised
IA an impossible position.
Pretoria dispatches state that the Lin
colnshires lost half of their officers, in
Guiding Col Roberts. who was wounded
and taken prisoner. The British fought
stubbornly till nightfall, when the cavalry
turned their horses loose. The Boer re-
port of the engagement places the British
casualties at over 200.
Commandant Grobler, who commanded
the Federals az Nitral's Mex, had four
guns. In the Derdepoort affair, mention
ed in Lord Roberts dispatch. the men in
the front rank Of the Beers wore khaki
uniforms and helmets, and the dragons
passed them unsuspectingly, under the
impression that they were hussars. The
mistake was not discovered until the
Beers opened heavy FIRE. when the
dragons were within 400 yards.
British prisoners who escaped to
Kro9nstadt report that Gen. De Vets
force of 10000 men, with ten guns, ex-
PEELED from Bethlehem by Gen. Clements
and Gen. Paget, have taken up strong
position fifteen miles to the southwark in
the hills around Reteif Mex. President
Steyn is reported to be with them. An
other case of the Beers wearing khaki
is reported to have happened at Lindley
on June 26, when they surprised picket
of twenty-five men of the Yorkshire light
infantry. eighteen of whom were killed or
wounded

No other letters came from Gates. His
lather sent detectives to Middle Grove
TO learn what had become of his boy.
They learned nothing. Then the father
himself started for Middle Grove. There
he found several persons who had seen
Jester aud young Gates travelling togeth-
er. It was not difficult to trace them.
The spot where the two wagons had left
the main road was found. The camp in
the hills was located. \ farmer near
the camp related a conversation which
he had with Jester. Two farmers We're
found who had visited the camp, and one
farmer who the next day passed Jester
driving his own team with that of Gates
hitched behind. This farmer remembered
that when the two wagons went into the
woods Gates was with Jester; that when
the two wagons came out Jester was
alone.
Convinced that his son had been muir
dcred the father began pursuit Of the
murderer Jester was traced to Indiana,
and back to Kansas, and was captured
near Wichita. In his possession were
found a watch, cap, ring, bowie knife,
and an antelope skin waistcoat Of pecu-
liar appearance-all the property of the
missing boy. Evidence which seemed
sufficient to convict him was secured. Ii

Jester to the jail at Mexico. Mo-, from
which ne escaped through a tunnel of his
own making. Here ends the second chap

Twenty-nine years later Mrs. Corneha

stances of the Gates murder. She said
that the murderer was her half brother,

larly ordained minister OF the Christian
Church, was arrested. He admitted that

Jester, and that Mrs. Corneha Street was
his half sister, but he denied all knowl-
edge Of tho crime charged against him.
Here ends the third and begins the fourth
chapter with the opening Of the trial at
New London. Mo.
The story is unique in the criminal his
tory OF this c, 1ntry. When Jester was
arrested, tweny-uine years after the
crime charged against him. il was be
lieyed that few witnesses could be

Some of you laugh to scorn the idea
of bloodshed as the result of secession,
and jocularly propose to drink all the
blood that will ever flow in conse-
quence of it. But let me tell you what
is coming on the heels of secession. The
time viii come when your fathers and
husbands, your sons and brothers, will
be herded together like sheep and cattle
at the point of the bayonet, and your
mothers and wives, and sisters and
daughters will ask, Where are theyY
and echo will answer, Where?
Such was the prophetic utterance of
General Sam Houston, the hero of San
Jacinto, and then Governor of Texas,
to a secession meeting at Galveston,
while Texas was still in the Union. 1t
is well worth recalling at this time by
those who would belittle the dangers
of imperialism, and who do not per-
ceiye that the result Of that policy
would be to tu1h the United States into
a camp of conscrirts, and to bring
mourning into countless homes for hus-
bands and sons, fathers and brothers,
sacrificed in distant lands to the Moloch
of empire. Already, it is reported from
Washington, the Federal Government
is inquiring about the militia of the va
rious States, with the view of raising
an army for Asia, and this upon an
understanding with other powers, and
without Congress, in which the war
making authority is vested by the Con
stitution, having been consulted. Pre-
texts will never be lacking if once a
career of aggression is entered upon.
We will have an army of Africa, an
army to chastise the Moors, and an
other. perhaps, to mix up in a quarrel
conflict in Europe, and so it will go
until draft becomes requisite, and we
are side by side with Germany, AIS
tria and France as a nation ruled by a
military oligarchy.
The Spanish war cost us too much in
blood and treasure for its dear-bought
prizes to be surrendered, and Fse dig

rights of American citizens should be
upheld in every part of the world,

word, imperialism-will never be toll

BIG JAPANESE ARMY.
MIKApo WILL SEND $4,000 MEN
TO CHINA.
Gen. Mich Reported to Have Defeated
Prince Tuan Suffered Loss of 250
Rescued Prince Ching, Who Was
SoreIy Beset by Boxers.

Yokohama advices say it is certain that
Japan will send nearly $4,000 troops to
China. The press agrees that the dis
patch Of so large force is duty in the
interests of humanity, but asserts that a
large measure of responsibility for rae
troubles rests upon Russia and Germany
because of their arbitrary action IN
China. 1t was reported from Shanghai
Thursday that Gen. Mich had made de-
tour and entered Pekin with 5000 men.
In order to force his way into the city
he had to fight Prince Tuan's army. In
the course of the fighting he is said to
have lost go men. He is reported to
have rescued Prince Ching, who was
sorely beset by Prince Tuan's army and
the Boxers.
Despite the assurances of the Chinese
officials that all is well with the foreign
ers at Pekin, intense uneasiness prevails
throughout Great Britain. Grave rumors
come from Chefoo respecting the case OF
affairs in Tien-Tsin. 1t is said that the
allies are holding their own with ex-
IRENE difficulty and that it is becoming
more and more difficult to resist the at
tacks of the enemy and maintain commu-
nication with Taku. In consequence OF
the movements of the rebels toward Tsin-
Tau the Germans have withdrawn some
of their troops from Taku to protect
Tsin-Tau.
The Russian legation at Pekin. which
is now believed to have been massacred,
consisted of fourteen members. The
mob pillaged the legation and burned the
official archives. They also DESTROYED
! the Greek church attached to the lega-
ton and stole large sum of money they
found in the legation building. The Cos
sack Guards were all slaughtered. The
Chinese legation in st. Petersburg is pro-
tected day and night by the police. 1t is
understood that the Russians have sent a
large force to New Chwang, where the
Boxers are destroying property and com
hitting all sorts of eXcesses. 1t is re-
ported that the insurgents have carried
their campaign of arson and plumber ia
the very gates of Port Arthur

EXTRA SESSION WAITS.
President Wants More Conclusive News
IN Rose Cali On

President Wants More Conclusive News
to Base Call On.
No extra session of Congress at pres
ent, but a marked increase in the number
of American troops TO he sent immediate
~ to China. This was the decision reach
ed by the President and his cabinet after
a session lasting most Of Tuesday after
noon. President Mckinley came from
Canton specially to attend this meeting
of the cabinet and to decide what should
be done in the face of the great crisis
now pending in the Orient.
While the decision not to call Congress
together i'll extraordinary session was
reached by unanimous vote in Tuesdays
cabinet meeting the question is left open
to be determined according to future
events. A Washington correspondent de-
clares, however, upon what he claims IS
good authority, that dnless unexpected
disaster overtakes the allies In China, or
great increase in the number Of inter-
rational troops operating on the coast
and along the road to Pekin should be
decided upon, no extraordinary session Of
the American Congress will be necessary.
The disposition in Washington, he says,
is to avoid one unless events should make
it imperative, and it is not believed that
any Such grave emergency is likely to
arise.

Trusts and the Young Man.


A leYel-headed Democratic leader, in
attendance at the National Convention,
presented the menace of the trust evil
in one of its most alarming phases by
indicating its bearing upon the future
careers OF the young men of the coun-
try
These vast combinations of capital
viii cut off from the majority of the
youths of the nation that degree of fair
play and equality of opportunity which
each of them would have, if nearly all
the gainful pursuits were not CON
trolied by consolidated corporations

ton of trusts has been going on since
Hanna assumed the leadership and
control of the Republican party and
made Mr.. Mckinley nominal captain

There is food for serious thought In
the menace which this trust evil holds

danger boldly and crush it with their
ballots.-Kansas City Times
