in the price during the last decade. In
1890 camphor could be bought readily
for 20 cents a pound.
This steady rise In the price Of the
popular and useful drug is attributed
to several causes. One OF the chief IS
supposed to be its extended use IN man

INNOCENT LIVES SAVED.


Washington, July 16.-lt is now ap'
parent from mail reports which have
Just reached the state department
from China that it was solely through
the moderation and humanity exer-
cised by the United States representa-
tives at Pekin by the presidents direc-
ton in the early negotiations for
settlement of the boxer trouble that
number of innocent lives were not
sacrificed. These reports show that
more sober and painstaking inquiry
has developed the fact that some OF
the Chinese officials supposed to have
been connected with the boxer out
RACES, whose capital punishment was
demanded by the foreign ministers,
have been proved to be, entirely in
nocent of the charges against them.
In many other cases proof has been
adduced that the offenses with which
the Chinese officials were charged
were not nearly so grave as was sup
posed at first by the foreign repre-
sentatives in Pekin. Therefore, it is
regarded here by officials as a matter
for congratulation that Messrs. Con-
ger and Rockhill moved with delibera-
ton and acted as a restraining influ-
ence in the matter of punishment, for
not only were these lives saved, but,
under their influence, the whole list
of capital sentences was reduced from
ten to four and mitigation of other
offenses was obtained.

CROP STATISTICS.


Washington, July 11.-Preliminary
returns to the statistician OF the de-
partment Of agriculture on the acre.
age of corn planted indicate a re-
duction of about 100000 acres, or
five per cent. from the area planted
last year. OF the % states having
100000 acres or upward in corn IN
1900, ~ show a decrease Of about l.
100000 acres, while in the remaining
ten an increase of about 100000 acres
is shown. The average condition OF
the growing crop is S1.3, as COM
pared with so.5 on July 1, 1900, and
ten year average of 90.3. The condi-
ton in Nebraska is So, in Kansas "a,
in Missouri 10 and in Texas Ga.
The average condition of the oats
crop is 1877 as compared with 1853 one
month ago, S5.5 on July |, 1900, 900
at the corresponding date in 1899 and
a ten year average Of ST..
Reports on the hay crop are in the
main unfavorable, there being a de-
cline from the condition as reported
on the first of last month in major
ity of the more important hay pro-
ducing states. The condition of pas
lures has suffered impairment dur
ing the month and in several impor-
tant states is considerably below the
ten year averages In some states,
however, including California and
South Dakota, the condition is ex-
cellent, being six and eight points
above their respective ten year aver
ages.
While there has been a general de-
cline in the condition Of apples and
peaches as compared with last month,
almost every important peach-grow.
ing state has the promise of more
than an average crop, but in the APP
ple-producing states the crop will be
generally poor. The condition OF
grapes is excellent.

DROUGHT CONDITIONS.
Large Receipts Of Stock at Kansas City'
Owing to Dry Weather-Request Tor
Day Of Prayer for Rain.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 11.-Like
wind adding force to flames the ter
rible drought conditions in Kansas,
Missouri and Oklahoma continue and
the weather forecast gives no hope OF
immediate relief. The receipts of
hogs at the stock yards yesterday
were 3O,O33, and broke all records.
The big receipts are due in part to
the dry weather, which is making
feed scarce and drying up the ponds.
There were more than 1900 cattle
on sale, many of them forced on by
the dry weather
A dispatch from Lection, Mo-, says
that the drought continues its raw
ages in Johnson county and western
Missouri The heat is intense, keep
ing the mercury in the neighborhood
of 100 in the shade. Union prayer
meetings are being held throughout
the dry belt for rain. From present
prospects not q bushel of corn will
be raised in the entire county. One
large farmer near there said he
would take $1.45 for his $40 acres OF
corn.
Rev. George W. Sharp, Presby-
terrain minister, forwarded from
Macon o letter to Gov. Dockery re-
questing that a day be appointed by
proclamation for general fasting and
prayer for rain.
A water famine is staring the farm
ers and stock raisers of the Ozark
country in the face. The long
drought has left the north watershed
of the Ozarks III south central Mis-
souri, as dry as a bone. Everywhere
through the Gasconade and Usage
river valleys the farmers are hauling
water for their stock. In some places
in Gasconade and eastern Maries coun
ties stock is dying from thirst. Hoe
cholera, always worst in dry weather
is rampant. The loss Of crop is 4
slight thing compared with the pres
emf state Of affairs.
