United States Department of Ag- riculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Arkansas section, summary for the week end ing June ,.
 Warmer weather prevailed during the week, but the nights were cool and retarded the growth of vegeta- ton. The rainfall was very un- equally distributed. In the north ern part of the state more ram Is badly needed. while in localities of the other sections of the state crops are being injured by too much mois- ture. Reports vary in regard to cot ton, but as d rule the stands are poor to fair. and much injury is be- ing done by cool nights. Corn Is generally doing fairly we'll. Wheat and oats have been badly damaged in most sections by dry weather. Harvesting of wheat has begun in some localities. Irish potatoes are good in many localities, while in others they are very poor, and much damage is being done by bugs. Fruit is dropping off in many sections but fair to good crop Is promised in most places.

A Chinaman Killed by Reedy Vance.

Because he demanded pay for 5-cent bowl of soup. Lee Nick, a Chinaman, proprietor of Little Rock restaurant, was shot and kill ed at his place of business by Reedy Vance The evidence before the cor oner's jury showed that Vance, after eating the soup, got up and walked out of the restaurant. Tick follow ed him to the door and demanded pay for his service. Only few words were spoken, wheu Vance, standing on the sidewalk d few feet from his victim, pulled q 45 Colts and shot him in the stomach. Vance quietly walked away and entered a saloon, where he was found by the police few moments later drinking glass of beer. It is said the Chi naman is the fifth man killed by Vance, each tragedy being attribut ed indirectly to the too free use of whisky. Vance at one time was a respected citizen. He is possessed of a good education and for several years held responsible position with leading Little Rock firm. He then engaged in the saloon business, and his surroundings appeared to demoralize him. About eight years ago he shot to death man named Sullivan, of which he was acquitted. His next offense was in 1898, wh, he killed negro soldier named John Jones. Shortly afterward an- other negro fell victim to his un- erring aim. It is also claimed Vance killed man in Mississipp his native state, before coming to Arkansas.

Woman Confessed to Perjury.

A case in which an innocent par ty was condemned to death for a crime never committed is reported from Camden. About a month ago one Mrs. Watson, wife of a white farmer, made a complaint that she had been assaulted by negro named Will Bussy. The accused was ar rested, and the officers were compell- ad to spirit him away for few days to make sure that the law could be invoked instead of the people taking the case into their own hands. 1t seems there was some doubt in the minds of conservative citizens of Bussy's guilt, and these citizens cautioned the few extremists who talked of lynching the man, and he was given d trial. On the witness stand Mrs. Watson testified that Bussy committed the crime, and his Bussy committed the crime, and her guilt, and the man was sentenced to be hanged June 29. Sheriff Men ton visited the Watson home a few days ago and talked the case over with Watson and his wife, when the woman made clean breast of the whole affair, declaring in a written statement that job was put up on the negro for the purpose of doing away with him because he would not help Watson in his crop She says she gave her evidence in the matter under duress; that her husband threatened desertion and death and that she took the part she did on his account. Watson admits the in- nocence of the negro, but beyond that makes no further admission. Bussy will be liberated.

New School Books.

At the last meeting of the School Book Board Uune 4, IooI) the Board adopted series of books to be used in the public schools of Faulkner County, Arkansas, for a period of six years. This series of books should be put into use as soon as possible. In accordance with Sec. 7 of Act So, Any teach CT or school director permitting any other book or books than those adopted by the county board to be used iu the schools under their charge after one year from the date of their adoption, shall be subject to fine of not less than SI5."
 The companies agreed to allow an exchange price of so per cent. between the old book and the new (l. e., to take. an old book as half pay for new one). This exchange price expires one year from date of contract, which will be Dec. p, 1901, except the readers, which expires Jan. 4, 1902.
 Every district iii the county ought to make this change before the summer schools open, if pos slble, Ill order to prevent mixing up Of books; but ill some, perhaps, It will be impossible to make this change for the summer schools, but In districts where they can make the change I advise you to do so, remembering that you will have to make the change before the fall and winter schools open, or make It ln or about the middle of the term of school-and that will bring aoout confusion. So l urge you to make the change as soon as pos S'nie and get the benefit of ex- change price.
 It seems that some would have you believe that you do not have to use these books. Don't rely on ehat statement, for it won't stand.
 Dur last legislature passed an act 'equlrlng directors to take the emu 'neratlon between Jnly I and 20, a'So to file their annual reports Wi'h the county examiner before July 20.
 trust the directors will attend " this matter early, so that can make my report without delay.

SMALLPOX Near creston.

Creston, Feb. 11.-Union township,
In Adams county, southwest Of Crom-
well. seems to be inflicted vs.. what
might be termed smallpox epidemic.
At any rate the disease is spreading
according to the statements of Geo.
r. Sheets, president of the Union
township board of health. Mr.. Sheets
informs Creston physician that
there are now ten or twelve cases of
smallpox in the township. The rapid
spread of the disease is due no doubt
to the disregard of quarantine regula-
tions. Some of the people got the
idea that the disease was not small
pox and this notion was strengthened
by an opinion given by two or three
physicians.
