FAMINE IN ALL FRUIT
Crops Partially or Wholly De-
stroyed and Prices Begin
to Climb.
CONSUMER TURNS TO CANNED GOODS
But the Supply Will Soon BE
Exhausted - Dry
Season.

A fruit famine is among the unfor.
tunate things of the year in the COM
mercial world, and the people. the
consumers, are the ones who will
suffer by it.
Since the cherry crop. there has
been practically no fruit and the
prospects for improvement are very
poor indeed. The season has been
unusually dry and the crops have
been ruined. There are no tomatoes,
few peas, and the outlook for fall
fruits is poor. The blackberries that
have been brought to the market
thus far are small and shriveled. and
the crop. even such as it is. is small.
Early corn for roasting ears is of q
very poor quality.
Demand for Canned Goods.
Fruit consumers have had to turn
to dried fruits and canned goods and
the result is rapid rise in the price
on all goods. The demand for dried
fruits is urheard of considering the
season of the year. There is gener-
ally no demand whatever for dried
fruits after the middle of June, but
now. in the middle of July. the de
mand is such that orders cannot be
filed.
The run on canned corn and toma-
toes is so heavy that the grocers fig
ure that the supply will be exhausted
within a few DAYS. The prices are
high up now. with prospects for still
furthe increase
Poor Prospects.
A local grocer stated this morn
ing that, Judging from the pres
emit conditions. very few peaches and
tomstoes will be canned in the west
this season In consequence the
wholesale merchants will get far less
than they ordered. Orders for canned
goods are placed in January and Feb.
ruary for the fall following, orders
thus being given before the seasons
crop can even be estimated The can
neries and packers will simply be un-
able to fill their orders.
What is said above of peaches and
tomatoes is also true of corn, april
cots, pears and fruits generally. The
great supply will, of necessity, have
TO come from California, and starva-
ton prices are likely to prevail next
winter.

Davenport Ties Runs.

In the ninth Evers popped up just
back of second and Hoy tried long
run for it, making an error. Wilkin-
son hunted and all were safe on Mil
toms poor throw to second.
Then something sensational hap
pened and Rock Island gave the game
away after some of the fastest work
done here this season. Figgemier
hunted and was safe. O'Brien threw
to second and Evers, who had reached
third, attempted to score, but was
caught on the line after a run.
''Figgie'' tried to make second, but
the ball beat him, and in the jollifca-
tion everybody forgot to cover home
and Wilkinson Tailed. Hard hitting

The Annie Mine.

Charles Heidrich came in from Jelm
last evening and reports hat the ore
body in the Annie tunnel, owned by
Judge C. w. Bramel and Louis Miller,
is widening out. He brought in some
samples which show native copper.
The tunnel is in 1873 feet. In the end of
the tunnel they are sinking and are
down twenty feet, and have given a
new contract for thirty feet more.
They are commencing to sack the ore
for shipment to Denver.
1t is predicted hat the Annie will
be a steady producer from now Oh.
Several tempting offers have been
made for the purchase of the property.
but the owners do not desire to sell
and will continue to work the mine.
They will put in a full force to work
day and night shifts.
The mine is located on the southwest
portion of Jelm mountain, and Joins
the Jessie mine.
Assays just made show half an
ounce of gold to the ton and II per cent
OF copper.

AT LARAMIE PEAK.

Laramie Peak is enjoying a mining
boom of mammoth proportions, says
Bill Barlow's Budget. Recently a man
named Sellers took son specimens of
Estherbrook ore to Laramie, and the
town simply went wild. J. NJ. McGchee.
who carries the mail from Douglas,
says over forty Laramie people were on
the ground on Friday of last week. and
that they declared that the road was
fairly lined with others en- route. Hon.
Otto Gramm, DR.. Swigart, Lou Miller,
Charley kuster and other equally
prominent citizens are among those
who are looking the district over, and
it is more than likely that extensive
development may result. The Esther
brook is the only mine in this section
which has ever shipped ore. other than
small samples. 1t is a galena PROPOSE
ton, averaging about sixty-five per cen
in lead and some silver.

GEN. BELL ON TEMPERANCE.
Severely Reprimands an officer in
the Philippines for Second Of
Tense of Drunkenness

An army officer on duty in the Phil
ippines is in trouble for the second
time on account of intemperance.
Capt. w. +. Hancock, of the Sixth
artillery, is scored severely in official
orders of Gen. Bell, provost marshal
of Manila. Capt. Hancock appeared
in a drunken condition at the Army
and Navy club in Manila, and failed to
show up for duty on two occasions.
He was sentenced to be reprimanded
in orders.
Gen. Bells caustic remarks are as
follows:
at frequently is observed to be the
melancholy fact of persons addicted
to the excessive use of alcoholic liquor
to lose the power of clear judgment
with respect to the degree of their
failing in this regard, and to attrib-
ute a spirit of persecution or preiu-
dice to all persons who feel called
upon by sense of duty to take official
cognizance of their misbehavior.
That this is state of mind at which
Capt. Hancock has arrived is indi-
SdtSd ny INC VI HIS ucleHSt,
in which he attacks the motive of
everyone connected with the bringing
of accusation against him, but shows
not the slightest appreciation of the
reprehensible character of his con-
duct.
considering himself, by rather
forced construction of the ordinarily
accepted views of club relations, the
host of his accusers, Capt. Hancock
seems sorely scandali7sd at their
breach of etiquette, but apparently is
unconscious of his own breach of Ell
quette in appearing before his guests
in disagreeable and repulsive condi-
ton.
"As there is little ground for hope
of reform from such mental con-
dition, it probably is useless to expect
any beneficial effects from words ut
tered here, but it might be beneficial
to Capt. Hancock to reflect that an of
ficer twice tried for intemperance
within nine months is in danger of ex-
hausting the patience of his friends
and has used up any credit which
might attach to previous good conduct
and soldierly qualities"
Capt. Hancock already has been re-
leased from arrest and returned to
DUTY
