part, from the 10th to the 18th, the
temperature being several degrees
above the normal. The 18th to 18th
were hot days, the temperature being
10 deg. or more above the normal,

upwards east of them. The weather
was clear and dry until the 18th,

The warm, dry weather had a very
beneficial effect on vegetables, but it
was not favorable to wheat in the Big

The Nashville Students Ministries.

The negro is usually natural mu-
sician, but some doubt exists as to
their ability as instrumentalists. This
doubt should be dispelled as there is
no reason why the colored man should
not become proficient as band man.
The Nashville Students Big Minstrels
have about thirty solo musicians in
their two bands. During their noon
day parade there exists friendly ri
valry which is entirely done away with
when in the evening the two bands,
combined and under the able direc-
ton of Prof. Harry Prampin, give
their grand concerts in front of the
tkeater consisting OF solos and selec-
lions embracing Faust, Will Tell, fam
tasia on Old Kentucky Home and nu-
merous others. But Mr.. Carpenter,
the manager, not content with having
one of the best colored bands in Amer
lea, has also an unexcelled orchestra
of soloists under the leadership OF
Prof. Dan Desdunes, that is worthy of
some comment. They appear at

WILL McKENNY'S EXPERIENCE.
Jordan. II Appears. is Not the Only lizard
Road to Trabble.'


a letter received by Mrs. Mckenny
from her son Will, who started, several
weeks ago for Cape Nome, on the
steamship Senator, shows that an
early trip to the New Eldorado is any
thing but picnic excursion. The ac-
count of the trip closes on June 7th,
at Dutch Harbor, after an Intellectual
attempt to enter at Cape Nome. The
Senator had been steaming amid ice
foes for a fortnight before the letter
was written, and had no time beer
nearer than $50 miles of her destina-
ton. Much sickness prevailed during
the trip, and the smoking room had
to be converted into hospital in
which thirteen patients were under
treatment at one time. Many vessels
were encountered all bent upon the
same mission, of making Cape Nome.
At one time sixteen were in sight.
Mutual aid was rendered at times for
release from the dangerous icebergs.
On June 4th the Senator was com.
pletely surrounded by ice, not foot
of clear water being visible and the
passengers were very apprehensive of
disaster. Next day ship got out to the
open sea again and the fear subsidized.
On coming out from the ice-feld, the
Senator found several vessels to keep
her company in the tedious wait for a
removal of the blockade. The state of
mind produced by this tough expert
ence is shown by the fact that pas
senger from the Oregon, one from the
Dom Pedro and another from the Zea-
lander, jumped overheard on the way
mp. The Senator found 90 vessels at
Dutch Harbor and about 5000 people
waiting an opportunity for pursuing
their way to Nome.

TROUBLES OF A NEWSPAPER.
The Scales Fall from the Eyes of Some limo

nanza in Newspapers.
A Walla Walla dispatch of the 18th
instant, says that on the previous
night Frank j. Parker, for twenty-five
years editor and publisher of the
Statesman, OF that city, left for his
farm below Portland to spend the
Summer. Last month Mr.. Parker
sold two-thirds of his paper, and the
management has fallen into the hands
of Lloyd Armstrong and Charles A.
Newell, recently from California. In
this deal is rather interesting politi-
cal story.
Some time ago the fusion forces in

den j. b. Catron, OF the Penitentiary,
and Senator David Miller of this
county, took it upon themselves to
canvass the county for funds to buy
the paper, and finally succeeded in
securing about $500 from Demo-
Gratis and Fusionists in different places,
Lloyd Armstrong took stock to the
extent OF " 800, and the company was
organized last month. June LIST the
new management took control, and
articles OF incorporation were filed.

strong similar amount, the Fusion
lists the same amount and the treasury
Tor expansion purposes was to have
W 800 for future support.
June l the new concern began to
do business, but it was broken. All
the money raised and more, had been
paid for the plan and good will of the
daily and no funds were ON hand to
pay expenses. This created some
talk, and few days ago matters took
sudden turn. 1t is understood that
Miller and Catron were to raise funds
for expenses, but the money never
came. 1t was also held out that
Parker should be dropped from the
paper entirely, and on the I'd of this
month he left the city for Portland,
to remain for the summer.
Sunday Mr.. Parker returned to that
city In answer to II summons that his
presence was necessary. Upon his
arrival he announced that matters
were not running right, and he had
come up to straighten the kinks out.
Attorneys were consulted freely, and
since Monday morning there have
been hot times about the Statesman
office. For time it looked as though
a suit was to be entered for receiver
but yesterday settlement was
reached for the present, at least, and
MIR. Parker again left the city.
1t is said that considerable difficulty
was experienced In raising the $500
among the Democrats, as it took
Warden Catron and Senator Miller
about three weeks to make the canvass
OF the county and there is report
that not quite all of the stock was
taken even then. Just now the plan
to boost Gov. Rogers seems to have
fallen flat, with poor prospects of re-
covering i'll time to do the Governor
much good. The failure of the States
man to appear to-day, as promised, in
the enlarged and improved form, is
taken as an indication of internal
trouble OF some importance.

Had Ceased to Regard Rogers as a Menace.
Sumner Herald.


Gov. Rogers managing cook, A. c.
Little. is now blowing on his burnt
fingers for having stirred up that hot
political number, E. d. Mclaughlin,
chairman of the Populist State central
committee. 1t seems that Little has
charged Mclaughlin with having in
suited "the chief executive" in the
call lately issued for Populist con-
ference, by referring to certain danger.
Gus menaces to the success of the flu
sion fOrces-One of which Rogers was
supposed to be. But Mclaughlin re-
plies that he did not have Rogers in
mind at all, and that Titles inference
is without the slightest modicum of
reason-is, in fact, wholly imaginary,
since al have for some time been in
the possession of such information as
convinced me that 'the chief execu.
tive has been SO far his own worst po-
litlcal enemy as to have made himself
back number, and to render it i'm
possible for him to again receive the
nomination for Governor, either at the
hands of the Populists or Democrats.
Hence, l had ceased to regard him as
a menace. However, if he and his
managers determine that he must wear
a shoe that may have been cut ont for
smaller feet, let them blame them
selves Tor it il it pinches."
