Youngstown Man Leaves the
Iron and Steel Field
For Gold,

Youngstown, o., Aug. &C. I. RAIDER,
general manager of all the blast fur
naces of the Republic Iron & Steel COM
pany, has rendered his resignation and
asked that 1t be accepted in a hurry.
He will become manager Of a mining
company in Salt Lake City. 1t is ex-
pected that his assistant, Charles Hart,
will succeed him.
Recently Mr.. RAIDER made some in
vestments In western mines. He ex-
pected good profits, but was overwhelm-
ed with the luck he encountered. Not
only were the returns large, but the
mines developed have already made
him very rich man, and the prospects
promise that he will be millionaire
within short time. Mr. RAIDER for
years was furnace manager for Pick
ands. Mather & Co., at Sharpsville and
West Middlesex.

AKRON BANK TO RECOVER.
Thieves Captured In Indiana Had
the Loot Hidden In the
Country

Goshen. Ind, Aug. 2.-Private de.
tectives employed by an Akron, O.,
banking institution have made an i'm,
portant arrest in a local gambling den,
which resulted In recovering nearly
$4,000 In currency and gold coin. The
two men who were captured, 1t is al.
loged. had rified vault in the Akron
bank 10 days ago and since then had
been shadowed.
The men, who are said to be resi-.
dents Of Elkhart county, were taken
completely by surprise, and were hur.
ried to Elkhart, where the booty was
believed to have been secreted.
AT Elkhart the robbers led the way
to the outskirts of the city, where
they had buried their plunder, and
every dollar was recovered. The de.
tectives and robbers later left for
Akron. The bank directors, fearing
a panic. kept the facts secret until
Thursday.

STARK EXHIBITS
At the State Fair Have Never
6een Much In EvIdenoe.-Ef-
fort Made to Encourage
DISPLAYS.

Columbus, Aug. 2.-The fact has been
commented upon that the industries of
southeastern Ohio have never been rep
resented at the Ohio state fair. The
expense attending an exhibit is slight
compared to the benefit to be derived.
Space on the grounds is furnished
gratuitously to exhibitors and what ex-
pense is incurred Is that covering
freightage. Thousands visit each fair,
both from this and other states, and the
opportunities of advertising the pro-
ducts OF the various industries are man
fold. A number of firms have been
placing exhibits at the fair for years
and have found the course profitable.
About the only displays ever made by
Stark and Columbiana counties were OF
sheep. There never has been pottery
exhibit and should the manufacturers
decide to take up this matter they
would be given cordial assistance by
the exposition managers, who are es-
pecially anxious that this industry be
represented among the many others.
Those desiring to exhibit will receive
all information necessary by communi-
eating with the secretary Of the state
board of agrioulture'

View Of the Crop Condi-
ton in Stark County.
CORN IS SUFFERING
From the Drouth--Potato Crop
Almost Q FaiIure--Every
Growing Thing Needs
Rain Badly.

The continued dry weather is proving
disastrous to the growing crops in
Stark county. In the spring there was
SO much rainfall that farmers could not
get their corn and oats planted at the
usual time, and as a result everything
was late. Fortunately the wheat and
hay crops were benefited by the early
rains and were harvested before the dry
weather could injure them. The oats
crop suffered to some extent, but is a
fair crop. The greatest damage has
been effected within the last few weeks.
There has not been rain that has done
much good for month. and as a result
everything that is in the ground in the
way of crops is shrivelling up.
Potatoes are now higher than they
have been for many years at this sea-
son of the year. Some of the early
planted ones produced fair crop, but
the later ones are total failure. There
are tubers in the Canton markets now
of such small size and poor quality that
If they were offered in an ordinary sea-
son dealers could not give them away,
yet they sell readily at from $1.25 to
$1.4O bushel.
The southern crop is already exhaust
ed and IL the Michigan product is not
large, there Is every indication that cit
izens of Canton will be paying 81 a
bushel for potatoes before spring.
The apple crop, which early In the
spring had been looked upon as promis-
ing abundance, has been affected by one
cause after another until it is now con-
sidered almost failure in this section,
though from some quarters it is report
ed fair. The wet weather in the early
spring. especially during the blooming q
season, did great damage, and the work
of the curculio and blight has caused a
large per cent. of the fruit that did form
to fall off. The dry weather has had
the effect Of dwarfing what has been
left, and the prospects for even moder-
ate crop are not flattering
The corn fields are far from promls-
ing. The early planted corn has made
some progress and looks fairly well.
but the late planted is failure. July
and August are the months that make
the corn crop. July is gone and the
crop is far from made. August has
started in so dry that the com stalks
present withered and yellow appear
ance and the indications are that many
fields will be an entire failure
Summer pasture has felt the effect CT
the drouth and this has been respon-
sible for the recent rise In the price of
butter. Unless rain comes soon there
will be little or no grass to feed the
cattle.
All sorts Of vegetables are a short
crop. Late cabbage has not made any
growth. Many gardeners have planted
largely of melons and the vines give
no promise of crop. Tomatoes are
small and ripening prematurely, and
the late crop looks like complete fail
ure.
The prevailing winds for some days
past have been from the north, and that
indicates dry and cool weather, so the
prospects for any immediate relief are
not bright.
