Crop Conditions.

Local grain dealers say that the
price of corn and oats will proba-
bly, advance even higher than it is
at present this winter There is a
scarcity of both and the demand
for them will be heavy. The scar
city is due owing to the failure of
the crop in Kansas and Texas.
There is an exceeding good crop
of hay in all of the mountain dis
tricts, especially in the Wet noun
tain. Gunnison and South Park
region 1t is said that the crop
is one of the largest cut in years
1t is hardly proba BILE that the price
of this commodity will advance for
awhile, but if the winter should
prove severe one the value will
enhance rapidly.
The ranchman in the Hardscrab-
BILE. Wetmore and other districts
are marketing their produce, es-
pecially hay and grain These
crops were little above the
average.
1t is hard to estimate the value
of these farmers to Florence in the
course of year When good
crop is matured the average farmer
will clean up S40O or $500 during
the year and the greater part of
this money is spent in this town.

THE DIFFICULTY IN COREA.
TINT II Hns been sntisfnc-
tOriiy Adjusted.

Washington, April A cublegram
has been received at the state depart
mcnt from United States Minister
Allen. at Seoul, stating briefly that
the Mcl.envy Brown difficulty has
been satisfactorily adjusted Brown
was an Englishmnn charged with the
management Of the Corcan customs
department, and II was reported that
he had been removed under Russian
influence, Although Mr. Allen does
not state directly the bnsis OF scttle-
ment, Il IL known that his sympnthies
were strongly with Brown, 80 II IL
believed that the official must have
been rcinstnted.
The immediate result Of this set
Element Is 10 remove what promised
TO be an ugly issue between the Unit.
ed States and Russin, for the Amcri.
can minister's report shows clearly
that Browns removal would have
seriously injured American CONNER
cal interests IN Coreu.

The Lesson of Hope.

The great lesson of Easter is hope.
1t tells of life triumrhing over death.
It's picture is Il broken grave, empty
now because He who lay in it could
not be holden of death. The lesson is
a great deal wider in it's reach, how
ever, than the ordinary application
of it. 1t is wondrously comforting to
Know that all who sleep in Jesus God
Will bring again from death to life.
But the victory of Easter included
all that belongs to the Christian life.
We suffer many defeats before we
come to the last faintness, which men
call dying. But there is not one Of
those which the glorious Easter fact
may not change into victory Always
Christian faith brings life out of
death.
Many times we seem to fail, but
there is n way to bring good out of
every failure. Indeed, ofttimes the
best thing that can come to us Is de-
feat. 1t takes the self-conceit out of
us. 1t reveals to us our weakness, and
thus sets a new lesson for us-the
strengthening of the weak point. 1t
makes us more patient and sympa-
thetic with others who fail. Then it
inspires us to new courage. We rise
to try again, and we determine yet TO
be victorious. Thus depending upon
Christ we become more than conquer
ors through Him that loved us, and out
Of the graves of our vain struggles
comes resurrection life.-Dr. j. r.
Miller

lie Fell Back Behind His Breasy-

Tended Himself with Grent spirit
Resisting Every Assault of the
Opposition.

Washington. April although no
official notice has reached here of the
reported departure of Prince III lung
Chang from pekin for Shanghai, the
officials are inclined to believe it IS
true that Ii Hung Chang is real
~ leaving Pekin for good,
and because the emperor IS dls-
pleased with his conduct OF the ne
yotiations. It was known here that
when 1T Hung Chang was made one
of the peace ENJOYS that he was pro-
Russian in sentiment. but there was
no cause for complaint on that score
until the Manchurian agreement came
up for consideration. Now ii is be-
lieved by officials here that III has
proved so earnest an advocate OF the
Russian cause, and has so strenuously
worked for the signature of the agree
ment that his own government has
felt obliged to deprive him of power
to further that agreemnt. If tins up-
derstanding is correct it Is believed
that an etlectual check has been .ad-
ministered to Russia in her designs
upon Manchura, for it is thought the
emperor of China would scarcely have
acted in this summary fashion had he
not received assurances of support
from some of the other powers.
Mr.. Rockhill has not yet acquainted
the government with the exact lam
guage of the agreement reported to
have been reached ut Pekin as to the
Chinese forts, but taking the press
accounts OF the ministerial meeting
us accurate, it is gathered that Sec
rotary Hays views have formed the
basis of the agreement. The original
proposition, strongly backed by most
of the European powers, was to com
pletely destroy the Chinese forts in
the gulf of Pe-Chi-li, and on the road
from ruku to Pekin. The state de-
partment felt that it would be mex
pedient TO proceed so far and leave
China naked to the attack Of the
meanest foe. Therefore, the powers
were urged TO content themselves
with the simple dismnntlement of the
forts, leaving them in condition to be
again mounted with guns in renson-
able time. II is believed here that this
project has been accepted, for 1t APP
pears, from the language of the press
dispatches, that the only forts or
dcrcd TO be destroyed" is one on
point in the Pei river. which is to be
removed simply because it forms ap
obstacle to navigation.
