V. L. HOLT, Chairman

The entertainment given by the Treadwen school at the Armory hall last Saturday evening was great suc- cess. The hall was not filled, but all the seats provided were filled, which in cluded quite large crowd. The re- ceipts amounted to about S70, at the nominal charge of 25 cents per ticket. A special feature of the entertainment was the drill by the boys and girls, which was positively the most perfect we ever saw executed by children There were so many good things that we cannot describe them all, but we wish to congratulate Mir. Johnson, the teacher, upon bis remarkable success with the children in his charge. One of the objects of incorporation at Treadwell was to secure good schools under local management, and, judging by the exhibition given Saturday night that object has been attained.

WEATHER IS GOOD
 F0R HARVESTING
Rains Retard Work in Nebraska
 and South Dakota
THE BUREAUS SUMMARY
In the Great Belt Corn Is Rapidly Ma turing, While Weather for the Past Week Has Been Fa.
 vorabIe for Cotton.

Washington, September 10-Following Is the weather bureaus weekly summary of crop couditions: e-
 The weather conditions of the week ending September 9. 1901, have been gen orally favorable for gathering and matur- ing late crops in nearly all sections east of the Rocky mountains and on the Pa- ciflc slope. Rains retarded work in Ne braska and South Dakota, while drouth conditions continue In portions of Texas and Oklahoma, and rain is needed in the central valleys. Conditions have been particularly favorable in the South Allan tic and gulf districts, which have in the four previous weeks experienced unusual and heavy precipitation. Reports from the principal corn producing States west of the Mississippi river indicate that late corn is maturing rapidly and that cutting is in active progress in all sections, being nearly completed in some localities.
 Drying Up In Missouri.
 In Missouri the crop Is drying up. Gen orally favorable reports are received from states east of the Mississippi river with the exception of Illinois, where corn has deteriorated slightly, and It's ma
  turity has been hastened by dry weather. The weather of the past week has been more favorable for cotton This staple Is opening rapidly in all sections. and pick ing Is in general progress. Complaints of rust and shedding continue, however. from the eastern and central districts of the cotton belt, and the top crop Is short in Georgia and Florida, while reports of damage by boll worm are received from Mississippi and Louisiana. No improve ment is noted in the late crop in Texas, it having stopped growing and blooming in drouth-stricken districts, and Is she'd ding and rusting badly where rain fell.
 Tobacco Crop Is Favorable.
 Favorable reports regarding tobacco continue from nearly all districts. Cutting and housing are in general progress and a satisfactory crop is indicated, although tobacco Is light In North Carolina and Wisconsin and curing very badly in Maryland.
 No improvement in the condition of ap- ples Is reported. This fruit is scarce In nearly all sections and prospects for poor yield are indicated, but in portions of Arkansas and West Virginia good crop generally Is promised. In Missouri and Indiana apples continue dropping and many trees are dying in the first named state. Owing to dry soil conditions blow ing has been retarded in Michigan, Wis consin, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma and portions of Kansas and the states of the Ohio valley; elsewhere this work has pro- gressed rapidly. Some wheat has been sown in Missouri, but the soil is too dry for germination, and seeding has begun in other districts where conditions were favorable.

FATALLY HURT ON
 WHEELER'O HORSE
William H. Leavett Borrowed the Animal and Was
 injured

Newport. September 10.-(Special)-A serious and probably fatal runaway acci- dent occurred on Bellevue avenue this afternoon.
 Gen. Joseph Wheeler, United States army, whose portrait was recently paint ed by young Newport artist, William H. Ieayitt, has on several occasions loaned his handsome black horse, Alabama, to Mir. Leavitt for a horseback ride, and this afternoon the horse was sent to the ar lists house.
 MT. Leavitt's mother thought she saw something wrong about the horse, and told him that she feared something serious would happen if he went out to ride The son laughed at the woman's fears and started off for his horse. He had gone along Bellevue avenue to Narragan- sett avenue, when the horse bolted MT. Leavtt endeavored to hold the animal in check, but was unsuccessful, and shortly after passing Narragansett avenue he was thrown and dragged a considerable distance on the ground, finally becoming free from the stirrup opposite the cottage Of Mrs. Duncan Elliott It was at once evident that the man was badly injured, and Mrs. Elliott was about to have him removed to her house when Dr. Austin Flint, Jr.. of New York, arrived. After hurried examination he said that it was imperative that MT. Leavitt should be taken at once to the hospital. He was bleeding from the ears, and it is sup posed that he had been trampled upon by the horse, there being evidences of inter- nal injuries. On arrival at the hospital Dr. Flint called Drs. Stewart and Kenne- flick in consultation, and thorough ex- animation of the injured man was made, but the doctors are unable tonight to tell how seriously the injured man Is hurt. The injuries are so serious that none of MT. Leavitt's family are allowed to see him, and most serious results are feared. It is thought by the physicians that the base of the brain has been injured Gen eral Wheeler and his daughter called at the hospital as soon as they learned of the accident, but were not allowed to see the injured man.
 Mir Leavitt had within the past few days been commissioned by Governor Gregory to restore the portrait of George Washington, painted by Gilbert Stuart, which has hung for many years in the Senate chamber in the State house at Newport, and which it was proposed to send to the Charleston, s. C., exposition.

BIOGRAPHY OF CZOLGoSZ.
WouId-be Assassin Born In Detroit In
 the Summer of 1874.

Detroit, September 1O.-From 1874 to 1875 the family of Leon Czolgosz, the assailant of President Mckinley, lived in Detroit, and former neighbors assert that Leon was born here in the summer of 1874 A search of old city directories resulted in locating the Czolgosz family at 11 Benton street in 1874. Inquiry in this neighbor- hood developed several people who had known the family. J. J. Lorkowski, prominent Polish saloon keeper. lived across from the Czolgosz family on Ben- ton street and knew the father well. He is sure that the son born in the Benton street house in 1874 was Leon. Lorkowski says that Czolgosz moved to Posen, Mich. near Alpena, in 1875. going later to AL pena If this information is correct Leon Czolgosz is N years of age, instead of 2S, as he asserted. When this was pointed out to Lorkowski, who Is a very intelli- gent man, he said that many Polish boys did not know their age, and he presumed Czolgosz was not sure of his. If Leon was born in Alpena, as has been thought, he Is not over 26 years of age, as the fam fly did not move there until 1876.

SELMA.
The Central City Evlnced Great Inter-
 est In Shooting of President.

Selma, September 10. 0.-(Special. )-No city of twice the size in the entire country has evinced more interest than Selma over the dastardly attack upon President Mckinley When the news of the affair reached here Friday it could hardly be credited, then came the realization of the horror of 1t and a mass meeting was quickly called to express sympathy for the injured statesman. The resolutions passed by the meeting and sent by tele- graph were among the first to go out and that night the Selma Lodge Of Elks' sent a telegram to Canton Lodge of the same order. of which Mir. Mckinley was member expressing sympathy. All day yesterday tidings were awaited from the sick bedside, and In each church prayers were sent up that he might recover. In some of the pulpits Sunday night tele- grams were read giving the latest news from the bedside.
 Selma's electric street car system has been the means of giving no little en- joymert to thousands of Selmas citizens this summer. The immense two-story pavilion overlooking the mouth of Vil- ley creek where it empties into the Ala bama river is nightly visited by immense crowds and. dancing is kept up until late. hour.
 The whereabouts of one E. o. Williams who came to Selma about eighteen months ago and opened a bicycle store under the name of Selma Bicycle Com pany, is being discussed by many Sel- mians. On Saturday. August 24, Will Hams left the city and was last seen in Washington. It Is said that he sold out his stock of odds and ends to various persons and shipped lot away. He owed $20 for rent and there were other ac- counts that he is said to have left un- paid. But it is the owners of bicycles who had sent them to Williams to have them repaired that have suffered most. 0, citizen left his wheel to be repaired and after searching high and low for it yesterday he found the frame without handle bars or wheels. Three other citi- zens are looking, but looking in vain for their bicycles.

 In north Georgia. not more than five miles from the city, it is said that whole fields have been devastated, every sign of verdure having been consumed. In some places it Is said that the limbs of trees are broken down with the weight of the insects settling upon them. The hoppers are of the largest variety, measuring from to inches in length. While passing through the swarms as they arose from their work of destruction, the cars are so overrun that the windows have to be closed and the impact on the window glass was like heavy hall, thousands or the pests being killed by striking the cars, and the rails were made slippery by the crushed bodies of the insects.
