pany recently received the follow
ing letter:
''Dsar Sir:-It is with deep
sorrow that l take the pen to in
form you that my dear wife, An
ME Mario, nee Linssr, insured
with yeu-you will find the num-
ber in your index-for the sum
of $4,000, has died suddenly,
leaving me in this world in the
bittsrest despair. This painful
blow befell me this very day at 7
O'Clock in the morning. Will you
try to get for me the amount in
sured As quickly as possible! The
policy bears No: 81, 1862. l can
say very seriously and worry sin
cersly that she was . faithful wife
and an accomplished mother. SO
that matters may proceed more
rapidly l send herewith an official
certificate of her death. Her i'll
ness was worry short, nevertheless
she suffered very much, which
rendered my sorrow the more in-
tense. | trust you will help me
in consolipg myself by sending
me very promptly the aforesaid
amount, especially after having
received my formal promise-snd
l make it to you this very moment
that when the time comes shall
insure my second wife for Sc, 900,
double the amount of insurance
of the defunct. My sorrow is i'm
nsnss; hswsver, the prospect
that ysu will hasten to satisfy me
sustains me in this terrible trial.
In the hope that 1 shall soon re-
eelve tho aaionut insured, I and
my children pray you to accept
our sincere gratitude" "-Ex.

qulre the assistance of 20, 900 ex-
ira men in the work. The rail

the. way from eastern Canada to
western Manitoba for $40 each,
knowing that it will be recouped
for tho loss on this passenger
business by he increased grain it

mems labor, and that unless men
can he had for harvesting Mani
tona' phenomenal wheat crop the
greater part of it will be lost.
The cutting of grain began last

the opening operations, 1000
laborsrs arrived in Manitoba and
were Immediately grabbed up by
farmers who awaited their arrival

Cotton Needs Rain
in Parts Of Texas
The Crop Reports for the Week
Are Not Optlmistic-Deluge
in East, Drought in West.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Ths
weather bureaus weekly sum-
mary of crop conditions is as
follows:
The temperature conditions of
the week have been favorable,
except on the north Pacific coast
where it has been excessively
warm. The middle and south
Atlantic States, including Ten
ne ssse, have suffered from heavy
rams, the south Atlantic and east
gulf States, and Tennessee sx-
psriencing damaging wiads as
well as injury from overhews.
The greater part of Texas and
portions of the Missouri aad up-
per Mississippi valleys and upper
lake region continue to suffer
from drought.
A worry general improvement
in the condition of late corn is
indicated in the principal corn
States. Good rains in Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio have improved
the outlook, especially y in Indiana,
but as in other portions of the
corn belt, the greater part of the
early corn has been ruined. Th e
propitious outlook for corn in the
middle Atlantic States and New
England continues.
The central and eastern por-
tions of the cotton belt have suf-
fersd heavy rains, while drought
has become more serious over the
greater part of western district.
In the Carolinas too rank growth
is reported, especially on stiff
lands, and in Georgia, Florida
and Alabama heavy rains and
high winds have caused injury,
rust and shedding being quite
prevalent.
In Tennessee, Mississippi and
portions of Arkansas, tho crop
has improved.
Cotton needs rain throughout
Texas, and is failing rapidly in
the central southern and south
western portions. Picking is
general in Texas and is beginning
over the southern and central
portions of the eastern districts.
