What must 1 give? That's the
question which may have kept your
brain straining for days. Here's a
happy suggestion. Nothing could be
more appropriate than Cut Glass or
Silver Articles. Both are highly
priced by all women, especially young
housewives. We have in the present
display scores of elegant novelties for
domestic and personal decoration and
utility. The collection of cut glass and
Silver is exceptionally interesting to
all who contemplate the bestowal of a

1t is seldom that one family is called
upon to mourn two deaths in one day
| but such is the case in the Dudley
family in our town. This morning,
Thursday, May 23rd, 1901, at $50
O'Clock, Mr.. E. A. Dudley, a we'll
known and highly esteemed citizen
passed away, aged 70 years, after an
illness of ten days. About s o'clock o.
NJ, Miss Lizzie Dudley, a daughter of
| the deceased, died at the G. & O.
Hospital, and thus father and daugh-
ter are in death united. Miss Dudley
was operated on last Thursday for gall
stone and the operation proved
successful, but complications fol-
lowed which could not be
controlled by the skilled ply
sicians in charge of her case, and
Wednesday she rapidly grew worse.
Mr.. E. A. Dudley was born and reared
at Jennings Gap, in Augusta county.
He was married in 1866 to Miss Mary
A. Kunklle, who died in 1890. In 1884
he moved to this place and has since
been prominently identified with the
growth of the town. Deceased is sur
vived by nine children, among whom
is Mr.. Edward T. Dudley, Agent of

PLANT TREES-LESSEN CROP
LOSSES.


may be found out later that present es-
Inmates of damage are too high. The
losses to the growers of crops and the
rasers of cattle will certainly in the ag-
gregate prove enormous. Whatever off
set there may be through higher prices
will come from the purses of consumers,
forced to pay more for the necessaries of
life. Butter, meat, potatoes and fruits,
as they increase in value, will have to
disappear in corresponding measure from
the poor mans table. The railroads
will be losers financially in direct pro-
portion, as there are less products to
haul. Many industries, dependent on
crops for raw material, will have to ad-
vance prices so that consumption will
be curtailed, which will mean less prof
its for shareholders and less wages for
labor.
We are too apt in this country to look
on drouth, floods, etc., as unavoidable
and therefore beyond our prevention.
AS a matter of fact, however, through
such disasters we simply pay the bills
for our own destructive acts.
On another page we print an interest
ing letter from j. Sterling Morton, of
Nebraska, who states that the destruc-
tion of forests and woodlands-th cut
ting down Of trees without making pro-
vision for future trees-is the principal
cause for destructive drouths and floods.
The Commercial West hopes that this
years crop losses by reason of drouth
will stir up popular interest in the sub
ject of forestry, as only general financial
loss can stir it. There has been ample
scientific demonstration in this country
and abroad of the fact that the whole
sale destruction of trees results in rem.
dering climate dryer, more changeable
and trying, while wholesale planting of
trees, on the other hand, promotes the
fall OF rain at more regular intervals,
and wards off sudden meteorological
changes which may result in unusual
falls of rain and disastrous floods. In
1875, commission composed of the
representative learned societies of Eu-
rope, like the Royal Academy of Sci
ences of Vienna, and the Imperial Acad-
envy Of Sciences at st. Petersburg, after
a thorough investigation of this subject,
said in its report-"Forests exercise
beneficial influence, which can hardly
be estimated too highly, in an increased
humidity of the air, reduction of the
extremes of temperature, diminution
of evaporation, and more regular dis
tribution of the rainfall, while the in.
furious effects of their destruction is seen
in alienation of periods of drouth at one
time with wasting floods at another"

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug 31.-Washing
ton broke even in the series with Cleve
land this afternoon by taking the second
game of the double-header. The day wa.
like late October cold, with a drixzline
rain falling all the time, and up till
O'Clock 1t was not expected that a game
would be played. This had a depressing
effect on the work of the pitchers as the
ball was wet and after being batted
around a few times became heavy. but II
did not affect the batting of the Cleveland
club in the first game, as the Spiders
made nineteen hits.
Mercer was given one of the worst
beatings Of his life, but 1t was not his
fault, but was due to the miserable sup
port afforded him by his teammates. Dur
ing the early part of the contest both
teams appeared to be In trance and
allowed fly balls to fall safe when they
should have been easy outs.
Moore had lightning speed. although he
was touched up lively at times. He had
but one bad inning. the second, when he
struck two men with pitched balls and
gave two men free passes. forcing in a
run; yet that was all that came OF It.
In the seventh inning Mercer. who had
been pitching fair game. went to pieces,
after a chance had been offered to retire
the side. The errors of Clingman. Grady.
and Clarke saved Cleveland. 1t was then
that the Clevelands went after Mercer,
and batted him for six hits for total
of ten bases. scoring nine runs all tcld.
Thirteen men faced him.
Cleveland started of like a winner.

the second. when Clarke and Grady were
hit by pitched balls and free passes to
Coughlin and Ciingman. Cleveland got
this one back on OBriens single, his
stolen base, and a double by Beck, who
was thrown out at third in trying to
stretch II into triple.
- Washington made one more in the
third on base on balls to DUNCAN, a
wild pitch. and singles by Clarke and
Grady. The score was tied in the fourth

himself under a Doctors care. The orig

Haskell could hardly walk today. but the
doctor stated that with careful nursing
he thought the umpire will be able to get

Katoll must have thrown 1t with more
