SHORT.
Apple Crop Will
be Small.
Potatoes Will Also be
Expensive.
4 '
Yield Will be Far Below the
Average.

Summit counry's apple crop has al,
ready suffered severely this season.
a blight is apparent in patches and
strcaks of territory aud the ground
under apple trees in these places has
lately become covered with the green
fruit, scorchcd and destroyed by the
heat. 1t is probable that apples will
be considerably higher in price this
fall than they have been for years.
Pear trees are also showing the
blighting effects of the heat, but the
peach crop, in most places, seems un-
usually good.
Potatoes have been injured. greatly
this year. From all over the country
come reports Of their scarcity and the
prospect of a small crop. In Summit
county this has been avery busy year
for potato bugs. Early potatoes are
shown to be small and the prices are
already soaring. The small potato
crop will doubtless make that neccs
snry article of food very expensive
before winter is over.

1t is not expected any changes will
be made in the pastoratcs of Methodist
churches of Akron at the annual meet
ing of the East Ohio Conference to
he held at New Philadelphia in Sep
tember. Since the removal of the

the General Conference, pastors are
not required to move SO frequently
as before.
The matter of the conference has not
yet been given attention by the local
churches.
The only change which may prob
ably be made 1t is said, would affect
the North Hill church. The congrc-
CATION desires the return of Rev. w.

there for five years--the former time

will be given n larger church.

goou pavements already laid. only
a rev streets can be put in presentable

elsewhere. While the life Of the aver.
age pavement is so short the city. with
the amount of funds ut its disposal
simply cannot catch up with this

pavement is too rapid.
It is because of this fact and tho

HOW AcUlNALDo WAS CAPTURED


The Filipino Leader Describes How He
Was Taken Prisoner.
After talking with Tai Placido and
Segovia for fifteen or twenty minutes,
1 gave orders that the newly arrived
men be allowed to fall out and 20 to
rest in the quarters which had been
prepared for them, says Emil Aguin-
aldo in Everybody's Magazine. Cap
tain Segovio Immediately left the
house and returned to the place where
his men were drawn up waiting for
him. AS he came up to them Segovia
shouted, in a loud voice, an order
which we did not hear distinctly and
did not understand. Instantly his men
began to shoot at the soldiers Of my
guard, taking them completely by sur
prise
When 'he Lring began, not suspect
ing any plan against myself, l thought
1t was a salute with blank cartridges,
and having this in mind 1 ran to the
window and cried out several times,
"Cease firing" But seeing that the
firing continued, and that the bullets
from the rifles Of the attacking party
were directed against me as well as
against the soldiers of my guard, l
for the first time realized that the
newcomers were enemies. l hurried
ly left the window and ran into an
other room in the hope OF finding some
means Of escape, but saw at once
that the house was already surround

Iona threw both arms around me, cry
ing out, "Don't sacrifice yourself. The
country needs your life" Thus 1 was
prevented from carrying out my in
tention. Colonel villa ran from the
house in an attempt to break through
the lines Of the enemy and rally our
men, but he was shot three times and
finally taken prisoner.
When the firing commenced, Tai
Placido threw himself down on the
floor to avoid the bullets, but now he
got up and told us that we were
prisoners Of the Americans, who, he
said, were on the other side CT the
river with four hundred American SOL
diers, and would soon be here. Just
at this time several of Tai Placido's
soldiers came into the house shouting,
"Hurrah for the MacabebesW and sur
rounded Barcelona and myself. A lit"
tie later FIVE Americans, all armed
with carbines, came into the room
where we were. They came up to us,
and one of them asked, (which of you

and documents might be there.
We were then Informed that our
captors were General Funston, Cap

No instrument needs more careful
handling than a ships chronometer.
every chronometer is tested for three
years before 1t is placed on sale. Every
extreme of temperature is tried on 1t.
The safety Of every great ocean
steamship depends upon the accuracy
of these tlme-keepers An error OF
four seconds may put a captain four
miles out of his course, and a tiny
speck Of rust on the balance spring
may be the cause of the error
On all large ships there are three
chronometers to guard against acci-
dents These are sent ashore for in
spection the moment the vessel reaches
port and kept until its departure.
A staff Of skilled men are kept by
every ehronometer manufacturer, their
work being to carry the delicate In
struments back and forth between the
ship and the workship.
When on shipboard the chronometer
