Tho weather Favorable For Farm Work,
But Less So For Vegetation.
WASHINGTON, D. C. (SpeciaD.-The Agri-
cultural Department Weather Bureau has
issued the following summary Of crop con-
ditions:
sThe cool. dry weather has retarded
corn planting in the States of the Ohio inc
Mississippi Valleys and lake region, bu.
very favorable progress has been made In
the Middle Atlantic States. In the States
OF the Missouri Valley the conditions have
also been generally favorable for planting.
In the Southern States the reports con-
corning corn are generally favorable, ex-
cept In Florida and portions of Texas.
"Owing to low temperatures and alb
sence OF rain winter wheat has made slow
progress in the States OF the Ohio Valley,
and complaints Of serious injury by fly In
Tennessee and rust in South Carolina aud
Georgia are reported. In the Middle At
lantic States and generally to the west Of
the Mississippi the crop has made good
progress, the reports from the Pacific
Coast being especially favorable.
Some slight damage to spring wheat by
heavy frost and. high wind is reported from
North Dakota. and generally throughout
the spring wheat region the crop is doing
we'll.
ssThe previously reported favorable OUT
look for oats continues unimpaired, except
slight deterioration in portions OF the Ohio
and Mississippi Valleys, where growth has
been checked by cool, dry weather.
"Cool nights lave been unfavorable to
cotton over the northern portion OF the
eastern half of the cotton belt, and the
heavy rains OF the previous weeks, In
Florida and Texas have necessitated ex-
tensive replanting. Generally. however,
the crop has lone we'll. Good stands are
reported, except in the flooded portions OF
Florida and Texas.
Most reports respecting fruit continue
encouraging, although portions of the
a k region. Ohio Valley and Northern New
England experienced very trying tempera-
ture conditions"

Arthur Taylor and Baldwin s. Bredell, who
assisted Taylor In engraving.

had induced Harry Taylor to circulate
them. About $50 notes were struck OF,
and OF this number Taylor had passed in
the n~eighborhood Of forty-1ve. The re-
mainder. he said, he had destroyed.
Chief Wilkie, in speaking Of the arrest,
said:
'sThis was a scheme on the part OF Taylor
and Dredell to bring the Government to
terms, and was the result of the advice of
some ~disreputable lawyer. The idea was,
after the notes were circulated, to walt un-
til near the time for sentencing Taylor and
Bredell, and then for the latter to inform
the Government that they could furnish it
with plates OF which the Secret Service
knew nothing. Their object was to secure
q lighter sentence"
Chief Wilkie said the lawyer in question
was probably gully of conspiracy to. OBJ

any other arrests would follow.

Bird Died Of a Broken Heart.


Last summer a woman who lives in
Harlem went to the country for a
months holiday. Before leaving she
gave her pet canary, Dick, into the
hands of the woman in the next fiat
to care for until her return. Dick
missed his mistress the next day and,
after a tender little song, hushed his
voice and would sing no more. He
ate very little and began to droop
visibly. As the days went by he be-
came simply a miserable little bunch
OF bones and yellow feathers. One
morning the woman who had charge
of him found him on his back, dead,
in the bottom of his gilded cage. He
had died of grief at the loss Of his
mistress.-New York Herald.

WASHINGTON. d. C. (Special).-The case
OF Charles F. w. Nicely, formerly treasurer
Of the Cuban Postof1ce Department, ar
rested charged with defalcations amount
Ing to $50 900, has beer considered by the
Cabinet. It seemed to be the opinion OF
all the members present that as Nicely was
appointed by the United States and that
In administering the affairs OF the island
as 9 trustee, it is therefore responsible for
the shortage and can proceed against Nee
sIy's bondsmen for the amount involved. It
was practically settled, too, that Nicely will
be taken back to Havana for trial before a
civil tribunal.
The Postoface Department has q report
from Agents 6eybolt and Neal as to the
amount OF revenues in the possession OF
Nicely on April %. At that time, accord
ing to these reports, he apparently ac-
counted for all sums due the Government,

In his books or took the money Immediately
after the balance was struck. According
to the figures at command here, however,
there is an apparent discrepancy OF $6l ,765
between the amount of postal money order
funds, as given by Nicely, and the amount
due the Postofice Department. The re-
port states that he had on April % $144,-

partment here indicate that he should have
had $2O6, 672.
Director OF Posts Rathbone o. April 10
directed that q statement be prepared Of
the money order and postal accounts of
the Bureau of Finance up to April 1. On
April % he directed that a further examin-
alton be made and, as announced, the re-
sulting report Indicated that Neely's ac-
counts were correct and were so certified
by the agents, who, in closing their state
ment, say:

stamps, supplies and funds are handled

OF Finance, Charles F. W. Nicely, and his
assistants"
Messages receivedby Postmaster-General

was still a long way off and that nothing
specific would be known until the report of

men are subordinates to the Auditor for

the solicitation of the POstmaster-G General.
