NEW WORM TO TURN.
Worms in Sweet Potatoes, Bugs on
Watermelons.

The following is the report of the
climate and crop service of the depart
ment of agriculture for Kansas for the
week ending August 4:
GENERAL CONDITIONS.
"a warm dry week. is the opening
week. and it is we'll said. The average
temperature for the week, over the state
ranges from 1 degree to degrees above
the normal, while the rainfall averages
larger part Of the state receiving no
rain though in the eastern counties
good dewS were frequent.
EASTERN DIVISION.
Corn has stood the dry weather fairly
we'll, but in most of the counties Is now
needing rain-in some badly; in q few
1t does not need it at present. Early
corn is being shocked in Montgomery,
and is maturing rapidly in Lyon. Mem
aha reports the corn even better than
last year, and Chautauqua reports that
1t is as good as ever matured there. The
week has been the most favorable this
season for haying and threshing and
full advantage has been taken. the hay
crop generally turning out well. The
third crop of alfalfa is in bloom in Nor
ris Summer apples are ripening in
Leavenworth and are abundant in Will
son. A new worm has appeared on the
sweet potatoes in POttawatOmie, where
bugs are also hurting the watermelons
Flowing continues in most of the coun-
ties and is finished in some.
MIDDLE DIVISION.
Corn is in good condition in several
counties in others it is good in some
parts and being hurt in other parts; in
many of the counties 1t is feeling the
drought severely. The early corn has
matured in Barber and is being shocked.
but the late corn needs rain; it is drying
up in Barton and Reno and failing in
Kingman; in Mcpherson and Reno it is
being cut to save the fodder. Haying
is progressing in many counties, but
owing to dry weather the crop is not
the best. The third crop of alfalfa is
ready to cut in Cowley and is heavy;
in Jewell it is not doing well. Apples
are dropping badly in Reno and Saline.
Kaflr corn is drying up in Mcpherson.
Flowing continues in several counties,
but is interfered with by dry weather
in others.
WESTERN DIVISION.
Corn has improved in Ford and is not
suffering in Decatur but is drying up in
Ness while in Thomas the grasshoppers
have nearly destroyed it, Fodder crops
are much improved in Ford and the cut
ting of Kaffir corn has begun in Clark
continues, and in Decatur the
wheat, though a light crop, is turning
out somewhat better than anticipated
but in Thomas not as we'll as expected;
in Ness it is of good quality. Hay and
prairie grass are fine in Ford.

OUR PARTNERS IN CHINA.
Tale of Horrible Atrocities Committed
by Russians.

San Francisco, Aug "A story Of
Russian brutality in China is told by
Mrs. E. B. Drew, wife of the British
commissioner of customs at Tien Tsin,
who arrived from the Orient on the
transport Logan She says:
During the bombardment we lived
most of the time in the cellar of our
house. Our house was partially wreck
ed by big Shells Sleep was out of the
question most of the time and so I'M
strung were we that but little food
satisfied us. There was ever present
the haunting fear of the Chinese tri-
umphing and slaughtering every for
eigner and convert.
Some. probably ALL of the women
nese effected an entrance. But, aside
from that unpleasant recollection, it
appears the allied officers were prepared
TO act 1 did not know it at the time.
but understood ten or twenty men had
been detailed to kill all the foreign
women in case the Chinese were the
victors'
Mrs Drew, with much indignation,
then spoke of atrocities committed by
the Russian troops, saying: They
plllaged, looted, tortured and murdered
right and left. There were many in
fants and children killed by bayonet
bayonet points only to be caught and
again tossed time and again. There
is ample evidence OF these unSpeakable
occurrences.
We're mistreated and murdered in house
after house. It seemed as if nothing
could stay the mad frenzy of these
Russians.
"Out from Tien Tsin. along the Pei
Flo and Yellow rivers, are numerous
little villages. The Russians swept
through the villages, destroying life
and property. In these places they also
tossed infants and older children in the
air from bayonets- And every time this
child tossing tragedy was INDUCED in
the dead body of a mother, father, or
both, would be hard by. The Russians
also dorve women and children into
the Pei Ho and Yellow rivers, where
they We're drowned.
After shooting and numbering to
their hearts content the Russians would
pillage, loot and burn every house that
caught their eyes. There was no at
tempt at concealing all of this remark
ably barbarous conduct. I do not pre-
tend to say how many women and chill
dren were butchered by the Russians
1 never beard the number estimated.
save that a great many had been bay
oneted and some shot
In view of what they had been
guilty of in and around Tien TSin, none
of US were surprised to hear of a bar
It is generally accepted as true at Tien
Tsin that the Chinese commander Of
the Taku forts was murdered by the
Russians when he was in the act of
surrendering his sword"

CASE OF POOR TRAY.
a Paterson, N. J., Girl Held in Custo-
dy Because She Knew Bresci-

New York, Aug. 7.-Anent the arrest
in r. me of Marie Cazze in connection
with the plot to- kill King Humbert, and
an alleged confession from her, it is now
stated that she is probably the same girl
who was known in Paterson, y. J., as
Emma Quazzi and who lived for long
time in Paterson Her father still lives
there and says that undoubtedly the girl
mentioned in the, cablegram is his pretty
daughter Emma.
This conclusion does not rest altogeth-
err upon the judgment Of Mr. Quazzi- He
has evidence in the form of a letter writ
ten by the girl on May 2S and mailed at
a later date in Italy. In this letter Emma
Quazzf says that she met very nice
young man on the steamer named Gae-
tanO Bresci. She speaks of the fact that
Bresci had worked in Paterson. and that
it was strange that she had not met him
before. According to further statements
in the letter the young girl had been for
eight days in close companionship with
Bresci at the date of writing.
The girl sailed on the Gascogne with
her uncle, Piani Federico. OF Paterson,
his wife Marianne and his daughter Car
melina- At Hayre these relations left
her and, as stated in tn letter Bresci
volunteered to escort her to the home of
a friend from Paterson. Luigi Briua, now
living in Paris She remained IN Paris
for some days at the home of Mr.. and
hotel near by. The girl, after this stay
in Paris with Bresci and his friends,
went on to Italy to the house of her
mother in MossO. Santa Maria. near
Biella. This is all the father 1nows of
his daughters trip. 1t Will be seen that
Emma Quazzi was in position to hear
all about the plot to get at the whole
truth She must have known of the
meeting Of Bresci with Quintavalle and
Tana, and probably knew of conferences
with Mala tesla. whose headquarters are
now in London; but who is as mysteri-
Gus as ever in his comings and goings.
Emma Quazzi is described as rather
tall girl. with dark hair and eyes and
olive complexion. She is plump and very
attractive The girl was but a humble
silk weaver. like her father in Paterson.
She worked in the Paragon mill on
Straight street, where Ernestina era
Velle. who has already acquired cOnsid-
cradle fame in connection with the an
archists, was employed The father de-
MES that she is j socialist. and that the
only paper she read was II MarimentO,
not an anarchist paper.
She planned for months her trip to
Europe, but her father insists her only
purpose is going was to see her mother
and brothers in Italy. Quazzi says he is
sure 1t was a mere coincidence that
brought the girl and Bresci together on
the steamer on the way across the At
1antic

Escaped but Recaptured.

Betsy Motif and Russell
Johnson, white, have been liv-
ing in the same house, in
North Morganton, for several
months. 1t is said they claim
to be married. A short time
ago Betsy swore out a war
rant before Mayor Tull charg-
ing Russell with having beat
her. Russell was tried and
convicted and put to work for
the town. Monday, while at
work on the new electric
power house, he took "leg
ball. giving the officers
the dodge until about
daylight Tuesday morning,
when he was retaken by Mr..
Moulton Clark. During the
night he had gone back to
Betsy's. When Mr.. Clark
entered the house Betsy
stoutly denied having seen
Russel, although he was at
that moment conceded behind
the door. Mr.. Clark was not
long in finding his man and
placing him in the lookup.
Betsy, it seems, has forgiven
Russel and they hold the same
old affection for each other;
yet Russell will be required to
work out his fine.
