because of Tillman's peculiar meth
DDS of warfare, has set the state in a
ferment.
Surprise In Washington.
Washington, May 81. = The news
from South Carolina that Senators
Tillman and McLaurin, of that state,
had goaded each other into presenting
their designations to Gov. McSweeney
as preliminary to going before the
people for reelection on the issues
which they respectfully represent
caused establishment in Washington.
Administration republicans were sor-
ry that Senator McLaurin had gone so
far as to surrender his commission as
senator, for they fear he has absolute
ly no chance to win against Senator
Tillman. They regard McLaurin's ca
reer in the United States senate as
practically closed. Some politicians
are inclined to the belief that Senator
Tillman tricked McLaurin into resign
ing, knowing that would be the easiest
way to get rid of him.
Recalls Former Instance.
This is the second instance in the
history of the senate that two mem
bers of that body have resigned and
appealed for vindication to the voters
of their state. In 1881 Senator's Conk-
ling and Platt made spectacular exit
from the senate, their grievance being
that President Garfield had ignored
them IN the matter of important fed
eral appointments in New York. The
party quarrel has always been consid-
cred direct cause of the assassina-
tion of Garfield few months later.
Neither Conking nor Platt was vtndi-
Gated, Plat returning to the senate
20 years later, when the feud had been
forgotten. In the present case the
fight is purely local and no national is
sues are involved, except those that
may affect the future of democratic
party control in South Carolina and
the south in general.

STEAL A BIG SUM.
Burglars Blow Open n Bank Safe ut
Mineral Point, Wis. - Sc
cure $4,000.

Mineral Point, Wis, May 27.-The
First national bank of this city was
broken into early Saturday morning
by burglars, who got away with $4,000
or more, mostly in currency. The loss
Is fully covered by insurance in the FL
deity and Casualty company of New
York. Entrance was effected through
the shingled roof of the building,
which is One-story structure, thence
from the attic to the vault by digging
away the arched brick. From the in
side the vault door was forced open
and the safe blown open with nitro
glycerin. The roof was reached by
rude ladder constructed on an oak sap
ling.
1t is thought the robbery was COM
mitted by two suspicious looking char
acters who were seen across the street
from the bank a month ago, at which
time ii is supposed they planned the
affair. As there are no night trains
out of Mineral Point it is thought the
robbers came from a neighboring
town and later drove back and caught
a train which took them to one of the
small towns on the Mississippi, where
they are now hiding.
A horse and buggy owned by Charles
Ninney, tied on the streets at Bellville,
was stolen about seven o'clock Friday
evening, and it is believed was taken
by the robbers and driven across the
country, IS miles. Sheriff Burmeister
has telegraphed the Pinkerton detec"
tive agency at Chicago to learn the
whereabouts Of Dad Flynn and
Lefty" Fitzgerald, well-known crooks
who have been implicated in many
bank rohbeTies.
A reward of 81 900 has been offered
by the bank for the apprehension of
the robbers, and this will probably be
added to by the insurance company.
John II. Vivian is president of the
bank and Philip Allen, Jr., is cashier.
Ex-State Senator c. +. Spensley is a
director.

Philadelphia, May 27.-By vote Of

of revising the confession of faith.
The majority and minority reports
agreed except in one particular. The
majority report included what is
known as recommendation B. The
original motion was TO submit the mi
nority report, but by an agreement of
both sides it was changed to have the
vote taken on the question of striking

Mothers Clubs
The First ward Mothers Club held
the regular meeting on Thursday,
May Is. The President-elect, Mrs.
Saylor, having removed from the
ward presented her resignation which
was regre,fully accepted. By her re-
movsl Fifth ward certainly gains a
competent and willing worker. Mrs.
joe Reynolds will serve in the place
OF president and Mrs Watts as secre-
tary and treasurer. The mothers dis
cussed the need for more school room
and formulared plans to secure the
same. 1t was decided to circulate a
petition, asking the school directors
TO relieve, in some way, the over
crowded condition of the ward. A
commit tee was appointed to prepare
the petition and they will soon have
it ready for circulation This petition
should be gene ally signed, for ad-
ditional room is certainly needed and
help for one ward will benefit and
relieve all the others.
This Mothers Club will continue
their meetings through the summer
months, keeping in touch and sym
pathy with each other aud making
plans for further work when school
begins in the fall.
The next meeting will be held at
the home of the secretary, Mrs
Watts, and all members are urged to
come and enjoy the occasion.
Hospital Notes.
The generous offer that ex-Gov-
enor Drake made to his home town,
to give s25, 900 to city library, has
been accepted ioyfully and enthusi-
asticaliy by the citizens of Center
vile. A big-hearted, public-spirited
man, with money, means SO much
to town. Would that Oskaloosa
had one who would offer dollar for
dollar for the new hospital What
an impetus this would give the
undertaking.
The room committee, of which Mrs
Romer is chairman, has secured a

t la growing nlcely and takIng 0n

it Is growing nicely and taking on fruit.
 Tn the Carolinas the situation is not equally favorable. Rains have fallen recently, but still the crop is not all that is desired. This is especially the case in South Carolina.
 In Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory the dry hot wealth CT has done considerable damage to the crop. Rains and better weather have come, but 1t Is too early to deter mine what the losses to the crops have been. It Is generally conceded, how ever, that the prospect in these States, from which the greater part of the crop is taken, is less favorable than 1t was one month ago. Let no one how ever anticipate in these States and territories an exceptionally small crop. Cotton thrives in the sun, and if the weather cOuulLlOnS III Inio lHOhIh oA o favorable there will be plenty of cot ton grown in the western end of the cotton belt.
 When the crop Is considered as a whole 1t is evident that there was not on August promise of g record breaking crop. Dreams of a twelve million-bale crop may as we'll be dis missed. The crop will fall, according to present indications, below eleven mil lion bales, and 1t will probably exceed ten million bales-a good average crop, in other words. These are the indica- tions at present. August is the great fruiting month however. and every day in 1t counts heavily in the making of a crop. The story of the growing crop may be said to be story of August.
