DOOMED BY RAIN.
Great Downpour in Various Parts Of
State Helps Crops.


State Helps Crops.
The heavy downpour of rain Sunday
has proved a boon to pastures, fields
and meadows which were beginning
to feel the effects of a dry spell. The
cooler weather, it is said, will also
have. effect of making the crops, par
ticularly hay, more vigorous and full
than they would be under the rush of
hot weather.
The government climate and crop
report says of Wisconsin that the
average temperature for the week
past was from to 10 degrees higher
than that of the previous week, and
ranged from IA, along the southwest
ern border, to 81 degrees over the ex-
IRENE northwestern counties. The
nights were generally warm and no
frost is reported from any portion of
the state.
The week has been characterized by
severe local thunderstorms, high
winds and heavy rainfall, especially
in the central and northwestern sec
lions. The rains were lightest along
the southern and eastern borders of
the state. At Medford, Taylor county,
the total precipitation amounted to
$50 inches, $40 inches of which fell
within "a hours June IA. At Easton,
Adams county, the rainfall for the
week was 500 The excessive rains
resulted in considerable damage to
crops in these localities. Severe To-
cal thunderstorms, accompanied by
hail, occurred over Marquette, Fond
du Lac and Winnebago counties. The
haiIstones were of large size and did
much damage to crops in few local
tiles Generally the rains were of
very great benefit and the outlook for
all crops is decidedly more encourag-
ing than last week.
The week has been very favorable
for corn, the high temperature and
abundant rainfall causing very rapid
growth, with corresponding improve
ment in color. Cultivation has been
delayed by the rains and some fields
are reported weedy.
Winter wheat and rye promise to be
fairly good crops The heads are of
fair size but the straw is generally
short.
Oats and barley have improved very
much during the week. Grain put in
with the drill is in splendid condition
but broadcast seedlings are generally
poor.
Grass and pastures have made ex-
cellent growth during the week. New
seedlings will yield well, but old mead
ows are reported as poor. Glover has
made good progress and in some sec
tons is now ready for cutting. The
| crop is considered fairly good.
a considerable acreage of tobacco
has been transplanted during the
week, the weather being quite fay-
orable The plants are generally
strong and healthy.
Strawberries are ripening rapidly
and the quality is generally good.
! The apple crop is rather poor, but
cherries and plums will be abundant.

Made to King Street

Daily the new steamboat line be-
tween this city, known as the Della
ware River Navigation Company, is
gaining in popularity with those paO-
pie who enjoy a river ride either in the
daytime or evening.
The two steamboats, operated by the

lconvonience. They are handsomely
equipped and every effort has been
made by the management for the well
fare Of its patrons.
Since the new company took hold OF
the line many improvements have been
lmade to its wharf at the foot OF King
street The offices have, been thor
loughly overhauled and remodeled. The
waiting shed has been rcplanked and
new doors put in and chairs for the
use Of patrons Of the company have
been placed at the end Of the pier. In
shot time a new swing slip will be
lerccted. which will be about six feet
wider than the slip now in use.
Some idea of the popularity OF the
new company may be gained from the
fact that it carried over 5000 passen-
gers on Sunday last. The freight
traffic also is increasing daily
