"why Don't It Bust s~

! We quote from The Century an an
ecdote related as one of "a Woman's
Experiences During the Siege of Vicks-
burg"
Speaking of fuses, the rector told us
one day very funny thing that he
had seen during one of his trips to
town. Every day, as long as the siege
continued, he crossed that hospital
ridge and passed over the most expos
ed streets on his way to the church,
always carrying with him his pocket
communion service, apparently stand
ing an even chance Of burying the
dead, comforting the dying or being
himself brought home MANNED or cold
in death. His leaving was a daily
anguish to those who watched him
vanish over the brow of the hill. One
evening, coming back in the dusk, he
saw burly wagner slip off his horse
and get under it in a hurry. His head
appeared, bobbing out first from one
side, then from the other. Above him
in the air, bobbing, too, and with a
quick. uneasy motion, was luminous
spark. After full minute spent in
vigorous lodging the man came out to
prospect. The supposed fuse was still
there, burning brilliantly. Darn the
thing" he grunted, "why don't it
bust?" He had been playing hide and

CROP REPORT.

Iowa Weather and Crop Report of the
Weather Bureau for week ending
Monday, May 20, 1901.
The week ending May Goth was some
what warmer than usual, the mean
temperature at the central station being
~ degrees light and unequally distri-
buted, amounting to but little more.
than trace in the larger part of the:
state.
Corn planting is now well advanced
in all districts, with prospect Of early
con pletion under favorable conditions
of soil to insure quick termination.
Early planted fields show fairly good
stand, and cultivation is in progress in
the southern and central districts.
There are some complaints of damage
by wire and cut worms in fields recently
in grass, and some replanting will be
necessary. Rain is much needed in
nearly all sections to prevent material
damage to oats. barley and spring
wheat. Several reports indicate that
the oat crop is thin in stand, and likely
to be below average in yield. Grass is
generally doing fairly we'll, but rain is
needed to insure a good hay crop and
maintain full supply of pasturage.
Fruit has not been injured materially
by frosts. Some reports state that ap.
pie, plum and cherry trees did not show
usual amount of bloom, and the yield
will be light.

Going into n safer Business.

1t was Cassidy's first morning as
newspaper carrier. From side to side
of the avenue he hurried, dropping the
moist sheets in vestibules and running
them in the space between the door
and sill. Finally he came to house
that was separated from the sidewalk
by an urn studded yard. Cassidy open
ed the iron gate and walked up the
stone path. He knelt in the vestibule
and started running the paper under
the door. An upper window was raised,
and woman's voice called:
"1s that you, Harry? You are awful
late. hear the milk carts rafting"
Cassidy thought it best to remain
quiet. The voice continued:
'sYou needn't think Pm coming down
at such an hour! The idea of you, a
married man, coming home at such a
time! Lost your key, as usual? Well,
catch this one"
A heavy piece Of brass shot two sto-
ries. There was a heavy fall, and the
vestibule resembled pressroom.
Some one found Cassidy smoking his
pipe in the accident ward"
Going back to the carrier route?"
they asked.
'Niver once more" responded CASH
dy. "Oi'm goin back to wur-ruk in tn
quarry. Thor's no fallin kaes thor;

ADMITS killing AYRES.
Mrs. BONNIE Confesses Sensa
tional Washington Shooting.
MURDER MYSTERY is CLEARED
Wife of Commercial Traveller Says
She Fired the Fatal Shot-Claims
She Was Lured Into Room at Ken
more Hotel by Ayres.

Washington, May 21.-The mystery
attending the killing of James Sey-
mour Ayres, a census clerk, in the Ken
more hotel, early last Wednesday,
morning, and which, because of the Pc
culiar circumstances surrounding it,
has aroused Washington more than
any tragedy in several years, was
solved yesterday by voluntary con-
fession from Mrs. Lulu l. Bonnie, a
house, that she fired the three shots
which ended Ayres' life. Mrs. BONNIE,
whose husband is a drummer for the
wholesale drug house of Dewitt &
Co., of Chicago, explained her pres
ence in Ayres' room at 2 o'clock in
the morning by saying that he had
come to her room complaining of a
chill and asking for medicine and nae
induced her to follow him to his room
to talk over matters of difference be-
tween them. She said that she dressed
herself in a wrapper and went to his
room. He had preceded her and when
she opened the door and walked in he
quickly closed it and informed her
that he had enticed her to the room
for his own purposes and said if she
did not submit to his wishes he would
kill her. Ayres, she said, was I'M
dressed and had revolver in his
hand, and in struggle for It's posses
sion, which ensued Immediately after
she entered, it was discharged three
times, the shots striking Ayres at each
discharge, the last one proving fatal
Mrs. Bonine then went through the
window and down the fire escape to
the second floor, where there is a
landing. She passed through the par
Tor and upstairs to her room on the
fourth floor. She then washed her
hands and the wrapper which she
wore. Mrs. Bonine apparently is about
30 years of age, and says she was born
in Macon. Mo. She then removed to
Hamilton, in the same state, then to
Richmond, Kan, where her husband
was engaged in the drug business.

ROAD TO THE NATIONAL CEMETERY.
The QusIteruasster General has given
orders for the repair Of that portion OF
Wilkes street leading TO the National
Cemetery extending westward from
Payne street. The remainder running
eastwardly to Alfred street, which Is
much out OF order, will not be touched
by the government, its representatives
believing the city OF Alexandra should
keep that portion in repair. This road
was constructed twelve or thirteen
years ago by the government. Wilkes
street from Alfred to the the cemetery
was graded and mscadsmcd and curb
ing and brick pavement laid on the
north side of the street over the six
squares. The government some time
after constructing the road desired to
turn it over to the city, but the latter
declined the offer. The U. s. authorl-
ties since that time have kept but two
squares OF the ithoroughfare 10 repair,
or that portion running from the GENE
terry to Payne street. The remainder
has needed attention for some time.

CLOSING OF AN OLD STAND.-The
store on the northeast corner OF Prince
and Royal streets, which had been con-
Quoted by one firm and another for the
past three quarters Of century, has at
last put uO It's shutters. There are
many historic associations connected
with this ancient stand, SO long con-
Quoted by the late Thomas Davy.
Three generations have patronzad it,
aud up to few weeks ago people In
limited numbers were still vending
their way 10 and out as In days of yore.
Thomas Davy's store was In the olden
time as well-known as the Market
House. 1t was sort OF central point
for people living in the southern part
of Fairfax county and enjoyed large
share of city patronage. People from
the surrounding country never thought
of coming to town without calling at
this place. It was here where most OF
them disposed OF their produce and laid
in stocks of groceries. 1t was to them
what Damascus is to the caravans.
Teams were lined up on Prince and
ROYAL streets and the RI u bling of the
tread mill on the Prince street side,
used to cut feed, was heard almost con.
tinuslly, wbila Hannibal King, the
trusty colored man, quarreled with
mischievous boys " no hung around the
place. But times have changed. Bust.
ness is not conducted now as 10 the
days of the methodical and fair-nind-
ed Euglishman who was so long the
proprietor of the store. There were no
trusts 10 those dsys; every one was al
lowed to follow the even tenor OF his
way and to enter the race on his in
dividual genius and merits. Mr.. Davy
prospered, hut his successors in this
day OF knitting have not found the
business remunerstive, and it having
passed through several hands in the
past twenty years has at last been
brought to a close.
