BROKE THE
RECORD.
An Effort is on Foot to Erect a
Monument to The Memory
of William Hardin.
RED MEMS POW WOW
WAS A SUCCESS.

The Red Men had big day on the
Fourth at Hsrdinsburg. The crowd in
numbers broke the record for such an
occasion for many years past. People
came from every direction, and the
crowd was estimated at from fifteen hun
dred to two thousand. The confection-
cry stands did thriving business, and
put many surplus dollars in the treasury
Of the Red Mems order. We understand
an effort will be made to erect a mon1-
ment to the memory of VIM. Hardin.
The monument should cost several hun
dred dollars, and will be put IN the
court house yard. The Red Men say
they will contribute literally to this
fund If 1t can be gotten under way.
There was no speaking on the grounds,
and great many went away disappoint-
ed. The managers had written to several
parties but all OF them failed to appear
The people, however, seemed to enjoy
themselves and the day passed off very
pleasantly.

MONEY
PLENTIFUL.
Crops In The Lone Star State
Are Bringing dOod Prices.
COTTON SLIGHTLY DAMAGED.

Mckinney, Texas. June 80, 1900.
Mr.. Z iitoE-With your permission 1
will again let my friends and the readers
Of the NEWS hear some news from Texas.
We are having some very dry weather
just now. Corn is suffering for rain but
farmers are having a nice time for
threshing. About one-half of the grain
has already been thresbed in the county.
Oats are making seventy-fve to one
hundred bushels per acre and wheat Is
making twenty to forty with an average
OF about twenty.eight bushels per acre.
have Just threshed ninteen hundred
and six bushels from eighty-three acres
Of land and sold the same for $l,l62,6S.
The cotton crop has been damaged
some by web worms which have taken
the second trial at it and in many places
have almost destroyed the crop. The
estimate on the present crtp is four to
five million bales against hine million
last year and thirteen million year be-
fore last. The present crop is expected
to bring fancy price, also the crop Of
1901.
II any Of the boys in old Kentucky
ever expect to come to Texas to farm, l
would advise them to come. this fall.
Come early, SOW wheat and raise cot
ton crop next year. The people have
sold about all their surplus horses and
mules to the government for cash and
the great grain crop is now going on the
market, with a good price for the present
cotton crop.
The money crop will be bountiful and
it will be good time for all psople with
brains and vim who come into the Lone
Star State looking for the almighty dollar.
Respectfully,
w. W. GALLOWAY.

WOMEN TO
THE FRONT.
Woman Suffrage Amendment In
Oregon Not Overwhelming.
ly Defeated.
WOMAN'S DAY AT
CHAUTAUQUA.

The statement has been sent broadcast
that the suffrage amendment in Oregon
was Overwhelmingly defeated. This IVES
taken advantage Of by the opposition
and all the other defeats Of Woman SUI
frage propositions added to it, as proof
that Woman Suffrage was losing ground.
While the returns from the vote on
the Woman Suffrage amendment in Or.
egon are coming in slowly, the last &C.
counts show the amendment is ahead.
The official returns are now in from
nineteen counties and their aggregate
vote is, Yes, 1923; No. 1928. OF the
nineteen counties only six failed to give
majority for the women. OF these six,
one, Lake. was tie; another, Yam Hill,
went No by only one vote, and third
Umatills by three votes. The bulk Of
the opposition is said to havs been in
Multnomah county, where the vote Of
the slums was cast solid against Woman
Suffrage. There are fourteen counties
yet to hear fiom. Oregon suffrsgists be-
lieve that all but three OF these will give
the amendment majority. The report
that it had been defeated by an over
whelming majority was without founds-
ton. The vote was so close that t Is
even yet impossible to tell which way it
has gone.
The management OF the Chsutauqua
Assembly have set apart July 14th IS
