ABOUT MICHIGAN.
Prominent Republicans who are Well
Known Here Think That the State
Will be Democratic This Fall.

A prominent republican of town
who has been in Michigan for two
months has told some of his friends
that he has money to bet that Michi-
gan will go Democratic this fall. He
called bluff yesterday and offered to
wager good money to back his .jadg
ment He finds wide spread dissatis-
faction with the administration and
thinks that the country will witness a
landslide to Bryan this fall.
Another prominent republican from
Cleveland, Ohio, is Of the same opin-
ion. He states that Michigan is sure
ly democratic and that the northern
end of Ohio will have many surprises
for the republicans. However he be-
liepes that when Hanna gets out with
his persnaders that the voters will be
brought back into line. At present
he thinks the drift is all one way and
that is toward the Nebraskan.
Both of these men are republicans
and will vote the ticket as usual but
they think that the stuff is off as far
as victory for their party is concerned.

Weather and Crops.

The following is a summary Of the
weather and crop conditions, taken
from the bulletin issued by section
director Vose, for the week ending
august 2T:
The record shows another week of
fair and warm weather with sunshine
above the normal Light thunder
showers generally occurred on Tues
day and Friday mornings. The max.
imum temperature averaged about 81
degrees, while the minimum averaged
about 81 degrees. The highest Il M
perature was generally reached on
Saturday and Sunday with a maxi
mum OF about 80 degrees; and while
there was little variation n the mini
mum, the lowest was generally re-
corded on Thursday morning with a
minimum of about go degrees. The
mean temperature has been from to
10 degrees in excess of the normal
each day during the week.
During the week the weather has
been favorable for farming operations

is nearing completion; but 1t has
been rather unfavorable for growing
crops on account Of the very
warm and dry weather The rains of
last week benefited corn greatly, and
what appeared as il 1t would make a
small yield, now promises fair crop.
Early corn mas now nearly made its
growth and is out OF danger while
late corn indicates fair crop. Pas
lures and gardens are doing fairly
well, but more moisture is needed for
all vegetation to put 1t in first class
condition. In some localities corn
was blown down by high winds and
injured by washing Late and care
full reports of fruit indicate that APP
Piles will make, as heretofore noted,
from one-quarter to 0ne-third crop;
that in most sections they are Of Ia
ferior quality and continue to fall.
The best reports on apples come
from Roane county, and state that
they are Of fine quality and that the
crop will he above expectation; while
among the poor reports is one from
Marion county which states that the
apple crop is almost complete fail
ure. Among the different varieties
which appear TO be doing well are the
Ben Davis, Roman Beauty and the
Russell. The highest estimate is
one half crop, and reports range from
this to one-eighth end one tenth OF an
average crop. Early peaches are small
and OF inferior quality, while late
peaches promise well; grapes will be a
fair crop, as will also piums and
melons.
