The effect of the July drought was
also felt by other cereals.
A comparison of the crop promise July
l with the prospect Aug. l, thirty days
later, as told in the percentages of the
Washington document, discloses why the
West has been buying the coarse grain
with such a frenzy for four weeks, and
why the corn and oats prices are up al
most 80 per cent in that time:
Aug. l, bu. July l. bu
Corn .......... ! 300, 100000 1900, eco. 900
Oats .. ...... 60O,O00,OO0 6S4,OOO,000
Spring wheat go. 23O,OOO,OOO 276,OOO,O00
The loss on potatoes means a great
deal, the condition being only 62.3, con-
pared with IS last year. 1t means
about 160,000,000 bushels, against 21O,-
100000 bushels last year.
The advance in prices has offset these
crop losses so far as the entire farming
community is concerned. 1t is an eco
nomic fact that farmers as a whole get
more in the aggregate for their short
crops than for their big ones, but the
benefit of this advance is unevenly dis
tributed. Some interests get no benefit
from the advanced prices. The railroads
lose their tonnage and do not benefit.
They get Just so much less to handle.
The following shows the advances in
prices ON corn and oats since the middle
of June before the drought began:
June Is Aug. 10.
Corn December) ..............4O 60
Oats May ....................2 SA 3Sts
Potatoes ........ .............G0 $1.4O

Secretary Furnas forwards the agri-

fair. They are special press tickets" T"
and in an accompanying note he says
they are good for anybody on any day OF

and he knows it. Experience has
shown him the newspaper men OF Ne

tesy" that can be realized on only after
they have been photographed and sworn
to on oath and otherwise humbled them

enough for the state fair to deserve the
recognition OF courtesies. then the edi-
tors are entitled to the courtesies.
without having strings placed on them
or becoming objects Of suspicion. IL
they have done nothing for the fair
then there is no reason for extending
any courtesies. And this is general

KATHARINE MELICK.
For The Courier.

Eliza Ann Matthiason was woman
who made life hard for herself. She
knelt down to scrub her floor. and stood
up to pare potatoes, and never sat upon
her cushioned chairs. Those three
plump pads Of red and blue crewel were
set apart, dedicate to the use Of the
ministry. The Reverend James Mat
thiason consecrated one to his own
service.
When, after a morning at the wash
board, Eliza went to her own room,
with every morsel Of flesh tingling in
dull, weary aches. she did not even look
at her snowy bed. She laid herself
down for quarter Of an hour on the
bare floor, and then rose to prepare the
dinner Of the Reverend James. IL by
any chance she saw a cob web, or
feathery dust-wraith sliding under that
white valance, when she took her breath
of rest, the foreign substance must first
be banished. Even at night, Eliza \ mn
put her hair into tight plaits, pinned
them rigid and fast to the back Of her
head, and tucked them away in her
nieht.cap, before che went to bed. For
forty years, she combed her hair 30
every night, and slept, too. as even a
Japanese martyr to the coffure sleeps,
in some inscrutable wise.
1t was not, then, altogether to the
blame OF the Reverend James Matthla-
SOD, reformed jockey and frontier cir
cult rider, that he rode away on his
fortnightly pilgrimages with out
thought of providing for Eliza Ann
fire or chest or cupboard; without even
farewell kiss to the wife he might
never ride home to find. Let us who
build no stone fences about our hearts
to shut out our nearest, wonder at the
two devotees to duty, who consclen-
tiously hardened each others path
through this thorny life.
For the Reverend James. as he Jogs
forth to face Apollyon and all his en-
issaries, feels dimly sense OF Eliza
AIMS patient, wordless reproach.
Without connecting this at all with the
circumstances of the empty wood house,
or the mute pots and pans. he is op-
pressed; and as he meets another horse
man, thinks first OF the stranger 8
pistols, and afterwards Of his soul.
In the log tavern where he is per-
mitted to hold forth the Word, he
dwells with tenscity upon the future
state OF the condemned. Women in se-
we're bonnets, and men without cravats
listen to the tale of tortures in store for
the spirits that have chosen "gold aud
pearls and costly array" rather than the
ornament Of the meek and quiet

France N Loser In War Indem nitiea.

Of nations engaged in wars of the first magnitud. France has been both gainer and a loser in the matter of indemnities. Having, by the treaty of Presburg in .S05, mulcted Austria of sS,000,000 and 2S,ooo square miles of territory, she was in 1874 compelled to satisfy the allied powers by mone- tary compensation of $140,000, 900 and to suffer the partition of the greater part of her colonial possessions, as well as the severe contraction of her European boundaries. Again, in 1870. after her war wi.h Germany, she was enabled to display her marvellous fin- ancial resources by the speedy pay ment of the huge sum of $1,000000 900, in addition to the loss of 5,668 square miles of territory.
