Condition of the Crops.

Following is the Weather Bureaus
weekly summary of crop condition:
The week has been very hot i'll the
States of the Missouri and Upper Missis-
sippi Valleys, and while there was gen.
eral lack of rainfall over a large part Of
the country cast of the Rocky Mountains,
excessively heavy rains fell in portions
of the Gulf States and over portions of
the Central Ohio, Upper Missouri, and
Red River of the north valleys. Rain is
very generally needed in the Central
Mississippi and Lower Missouri Valleys,
and in the Atlantic coast States from the
Carolinas northward.
Corn, more particularly the late plant
ed in the States of the Central Mississippi
and Missouri Valleys, would be greatly
benefited by rain, bat the early planted
in these sections is generally beyond
serious injury from drought. In the Lake
region and Ohio Valley and generally in
the Atlantic coast districts the crop has
made good progress, but is beginning to
need rain in the Middle Atlantic States.
"The general absence Of rain has been
very favorable to thrashing winter wheat
which is nearing completion in nearly
all districts.
Spring wheat harvest is nearly finish
ed over the southern portion of the spring
wheat region, where some thrashing has
been done, and is well advanced in the
northern portion. Portions of the Dako-
tas and Minnesota received very heavy
rains during the past week. In South
Dakota late spring wheat experienced
very trying temperature conditions, and
a larger part of the crop is being cut for
fodder than was anticipated.
The week has been favorable for COM
pletion of the oat harvest and thrashing,
the reports indicating good yields gener
ally, especially in the States of the Ohio
Valley.
The tobacco crop has made favorable
advancement, and its condition is gener-
ally promising, although needing rain
in Virginia. Some cutting has been done
in Ohio; and cutting will soon begin in
Indiana.
The persistent dropping of apples has
materially reduced the prospects of many
important apple States in the central val
leys, although the outlook in Iowa is
somewhat improved. The reports continue
very favorable, however, from New York
and Pennsylvania, and a good crop is
promised in Minnesota.
"Plowing for fall seeding has made very
favorable progress, except in Missouri,
where the ground is too dry

Death Of Conductor Beers.

Mr.. Alfred Beers, conductor in the
employ of the Chesapeake Beach Railway
Company, died at the Providence Hospital
on Tuesday night last, aged 80 years, from
the effects of wounds inflicted by himself
at the National Hotel on the precedin G
night.
An opiate, which he had taken be-
fore retiring, caused delirium, during
which Mr.. Beers tried to end his life with
out knowing what he was doing. The pa
tient became very violent after his wounds
had been dressed at the hospital, and had
to be placed in the strong room.
The unfortunate conductor had been in
the railroad business since he was a boy.
He was native of Kansas City, and was
well known among the railway men of the
far West He came here from Colorado
about one year ago to accept position as
conductor rendered by Mr. Meers. He
was faithful employee, and his services
were appreciated.
