Dry Weather Continues. With . Few
~ Scattered Loesl showers.
Sank Center. MINI, June 24.-The
drouth, which Is the most! disastrous
this country has experienced for many
years, continues llnbrOken. The wheat
and oat crops on sandy soil are almost
wholly destroyed. Many fields are be-
ing plowed and the struggle for hay
Is hard one. No highland grass at
all, and the river bottoms will have to
supply the entire country. This short
age of feed will cripple the stock in
dustry.
StewartvilIe, Mfnn.-A light rain fell
here yesterday. The ground is very
dry and more rain is needed badly.
With plenty Of rain from now on we
will get more that half a crop Of small
grain. Corn is way behind. The hay
crop will be nearly a total failure.
pastures are very short.
Grafton. n. d. - 1t still continues
very hot and dry. Yesterday the tier-
mometer registered 80 in the shade,
with hot, scorching south wind.
which was very disastrous to the
growing crop. Hay is $40 per ton,
and hard to find at that. Some of OUT,
old farmers say straw will be worth
sc per ton for feed. Unless favorable
change in weather is soon made we
shall be unable to secure feed for the
stock here.
Marshfield. Wis.-Ihis section was
visited by rain, the first that has fall
en- for two weeks. Everything was in
crying need of moisture, hence the
value of this fine drenching rain can
hardly be overestimated. Crops will
progress henceforth at rapid pace.

warning by Mr.. Molmes to keep out,
was shot. The ball made slight

climb into the carriage. intent upon
making an assault Holmes repeatedly
warned him to keep off. and as last

is very powerful fellow. 1t is
hoped that no further trouble will en-
