From Injury by Frost by sePtem-
her Ii to .o-Sprin. wheat sntis-
factory, Except In North Dakota.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The weather
bureau general summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows; While the
weather conditions of the week end
ing September .. 1901. have been gem
orally favorable in majority of dis
tricts, heavy rains lin some places
excessise) have injured crops and re-
tarded work in portions of the south
Atlantic and gulf states, and dry,
hot weather has been uufavorable in
the Missouri and upper Mississippi
valleys and on the north Pacific coast.
Extreme heat and drought in locali-
ties of Oklahoma and Texas have also
been very detrimental TO crops. Cool
weather has retarded the maturing
and drying of fruit in California, and
light frostS occurred in Nevada.
Late corn continues to show inn
provement, although it was injured
by drought and heat in portions of
Kansas: has suffered further decline
in Missouri and needs rain in Ne
Lraska. In Iowa, corn is maturing
yapidly, and the cutting of early
planted is general in all sections of
northerly sections, and is progressing
rapidly in Kansas Further improve
ment in late corn is reported from
the Ohio valley, but it has suffered
injury ny floods on lowlands in Ten
nessee. Reports indicate that the
bulk Of the late corn will be safe from
injury from frost by September Is to
30 but that some very late fields will
require until October 1 to fully ma
ture The crop.
Sprlug wheat threshing continues
with generally satisfactory yields, eX-
cept n North Dakota, where the yield
is light and of poor quality. the berry
being shrunken ard bleached.
another generally unfavorable
week for cotton. Continued com
plants of rust and shedding are re-
ceiNed from the greater portion of
the eastern and central sections of
the cotton belt, while Arkansas and
Oklahoma report injury from prema-
ture opening.
In Texas. the carly cotton contin-
ues to open and is being rapidly
picked, but the late crop is greatly
deteriorated and in critical state,
with complaints of rust and shedding.
Picking while retarded in Georgia and
portions of Florida. is in progress in
nearly all sections
Very favorable reports concerning
tobacco are received from all sections
except Maryland, where the yield is
variable. Cutting is genrul, and the
bulk of the crop is in she'd in Wis
consin.
The condition of apples still con-
tinues Hnpromising in nearly all sec
tions. Some improvement is reported
from Kansas, and fair to good crops
are indicated in portions of Arkansas,
Illinois. Indiana and West Virginia;
elsewhere apples are scarce and gen
orally of poor quality.
Soil conditions are favorable for
plowing and seeding, which are in
progress and usually well advanced
in all districts, except in Missouri,
Nebraska and Oklahoma. where the
work has been retarded by drought,
and in portions of Virginia. where it
was interfered with by weat weather.

AMERICA IN OTHER LANDS.
Difference. Respect md Admiration
for Americans Everywhere; Like
wise for American Goods.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Congressman
Charles +. JOY, OF Missouri, who has
just returned from trip abroad. has
this to say with regard to Americans
and American goods in foreign
places:
"Nerily, America is in it to-day with
the British as she never was before.
Difference, respect and admiration are
shown her citizens at all ports when
the Union Jack is flying. This comes
not especially because of our late vic
tories over Spain. but by reason of
the pnsh. enterprise and pluck which
have given to all European countries
the fruits of American genius. the
product OF American agriculture and
the output of the American factory.
Why, in Tangier, Africa, city of so
600 souls, which has not and never
has had a wheeled vehicle. and where
the donkey and the camel fill the
place of wheelbarrow, cart, draw, car
rln9e. trolley car and locomotive. |
stepped INTO Il Moorish hotel and had
my weight measured on an American
scale and bought from a street ped
dler weapon which on examination
l saw was manufactured by the Rem
ington Arms Co. The hotel lunch also
consisted mainly of American canned
(tlnned) soups, vegetab bles and fruits.
THUS is the world depending on
US for its necessities and its luxuries.
and thus are all Americans envied,
respected and likewise robbed
abroad"

FORREST CITY, ARK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, 1901
Former Postmaster In Trouble.

W. W. Brownfield, until about a
year ago postmaster at Grannis. Polk
county, was arrested last week at
Anaconda, Mo. charged with embezzle-
ment. Brownfeld is under indictment
IN the western district of Arkansas.
and will shortly be taken to Fort
Smith where his trial is to be held.
He claims to be innocent of the charge
lodged against him, and intlmates that
a spirit of spite. though not on the
part OF the government, is back of the
trouble. He acknowledges that there
was shortage of a few hundred dol.
lars at the Grannis post Office during
his administration but is not able to
hx the blame. The deficit was met by
his bondsmen when its existence was
discovered. and this he claims to have
made good through the sale of Kansas
property owned by his wife Accord
ing to his story, he resigned when he
learned that he was suspected of
wrong doing. He left, believing his
life to be in jeopardy because he had
exposed the wholesale theft of timber
in a small government reservation in
southwestern Arkansas. 1t was after
leaving Grannis that he made the last
payment on his shortage He says
that during the past year he has been
in correspondence with agents of the
government, and even goes so far as to
assume that he was ignorant of the
fact that he was under Indictment
This story is at variance with that of
the government officers. who say he
has been a fugitive from justice since
June of last year.

A Victim Of Scotch Loxic,

A highland hotel keeper was one day
having squabble with an Englishman
In the lobby Of the hotel about his bill.
The stranger said it was gross impo-
sition-he could live cheaper in the best

The highland landlord replied, "Oh,
nae doot, sir, nae doot: but dae ye no.

"Not bit of it." replied the stranger
hastily.
"Weel, then" replied the host, ''as ye

When ap,uckn wa. s,.nr-

The word "pluck" affords another in
stance Of the way In which slang
words in the course of time become
adopted into current English. We now
meet with ''pluck" and "plucky" as the
recognized equivalents of courage"
and courageous" An entry In Sir
Walter Scott's Journal shows that in
1927 the word had not yet lost its low
character. He says (volume 2, page
8O, want of that article blackguard-
ly called pluck" Its origin is obvious.
From early times the heart has been
popularity regarded as the seat of cour-
age. Now, when butcher lays open a
carcass he divides the great vessels OF
the heart, cuts through the windpipe
and then plucks out together the united
heart and lungs-lights. he calls them
and he terms the united mass ''the
pluck. Notes and Queries.

The Camphor Eater,

It is surprising what number Of
camphOr eaters there are among the
we'll to do classes. The idea seems to
prevail that this gum, taken in small
and regular doses, gives a peculiarly
clear creaminess Of complexion, and
scores Of young women buy 1t for this
purpose. The habit is. moreover. very
difficult to cast of, for camphor pro-
duces a mild form of exhilaration and
stupefaction, and in many instances
where very large doses have been ewal
lowed the habit has become a sort Of
slavery.
These camphor eaters all have
dreamy, dazed and very lstless air,
and In most of them there is an ever
present longing to sleep or at least to
rest. Extreme weakness generally fol-
lows the taking Of regular doses, and
have seen cases lEhere it has been al
most difficult to Tell the effects from
those Of alcohol. AS to the complexion,
II a ghastly pallor be an improvement
camphor certainly produces it.-Clinic.

Rubin and his manager, Billy Mad

Jeffries. Madden figures that his pro.

He is strong, perhaps not as strong

and he can put in blows with his right

As was the case when Mr.. Rayner
spoke the attendance was large. There

It began at 2 o'clock and the: entire
time was devoted to Captain Lemly's
address. He read his speech in clear
and distinct tones and was given care
full attention. The speech in the main
was an analysis of the testimony, but
occasionally, a. conclusion was drawn
and frequently there was criticism of
the course, pursued by Admiral (then
Commodore) Schley. Towards the
close of his remarks, speaking of
Commodore Schley's conduct, Captain
Lemly said: @
from my knowledge Of the man,
having served under his command on
two cruisers, have never believed.
nor do claim.f from the evidence that
personal misconduct-or, to call a
spade q. spade, cowardice-was ex-
hibited by Commodore Schley in any

Springfield, Ills, Nov. IA com.
mittee consisting of 25 members of the
Illinois Manufacturers' association,
went before the state board Of equal.
ization during the morning to petition
regarding the assessment Of capital
stock of corporations. Martin B. Mad.
don Of Chicago was spokesman and
said that the association was ready to
meet just share Of the burdens i'm.
posed upon taxpayers, but IL capital
stock is to be assessed In addition to
tangible property, double assessment
is imposed which, perhaps, will make
1t necessary for members of the asso-
citation to reduce the number Of their
employees, which is now 250,000 men.
Mr.. Madden also said that the law OF
1872 gave manufacturers the assur.
ance that no unjust taxation would be
imposed on them and that 1t had had q
tendency to bring many of them to
this state. He also claims that IL cap
itaf stock is assessed, that manufacture
ers will not invest capital in the state.
