The Weather and the Crops.

The weather bureaus weekly summary Of
crop conditions indicate that from the up
per Mississippi valley eastward to the New
England and middle Atlantic coasts the
week was decidedly cold and unfavorable to
growth. with light to heavy frosts causing
much damage to fruit in the northern por-
ton Of the middle Atlantic states and In
New England. The temperature conditions
in the southern states, Missouri valley and
throughout the Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast districts were favorable, highly SO on
the north Pacific coast. Drought continues
In Florida and over portions Of the east
gulf and south Atlantic states and rain is
generally needed in the Ohio valley and
middle Atlantic states. Rains have afford
ed relief locally in the middle and southern
Rocky mountain districts. but more is
needed in those sections. The greater part
of the upper lake region and portions Of
the upper Mississippi. upper Missouri and
Red River of the North valleys are suffering
from excessive moisture.

Bell Telephone No. 1O6.

A frame building situated on the block
between Washington, Columbus, Wythe
and Madison streets, formerly used as an
icehouse by Messrs. J. w. Hammond Il
Co.. was destroyed by fire last night about
8 o'clock. The stables and fencing of the
house of Mr.. w. ]. B. Duncan nearby were
also badly damaged The loss to both par
ties is covered by insurance. When the fire
broke out it caused a great light in the
northern part of the city, and at first many
suspected that Portner's brewery was
ablaze. There was a strong wind blowing
at the time, so that the best efforts of the
firemen were necessary to prevent the
flames from spreading.

St. Paul, MINI

There are few people in the South
who realize that lynching is doing
that section of the country great
harm. In recent interview Judge
Silas Hare, formerly a congressman
from Texas, said: ..~..-. T.
mo pen can adequately describe
the damage that has been wrought to
the Southern States by reason of I'M
lawful executions. Such occurrences
are deplorable. The harm they do
the victim is small indeed compared
with the evil that the perpetrators in
flict upon their own community, state
and section. No greater field for re
form than to turn public sentiment
against lynch law is presented to men
who are anxious to serve their coun-
try. s.. fe&..tf Es
There ought to be crusade
against, the practice until it is made
SO abhorrent that it will no longer be
countenanced. A prejudice towardd the
South, inimical and detrimental to it,
will be cherished by the rest of the
world as long as lynchings are CON
tinued."
