Local showers have afforded relief in por-
tons of the central gulf states and over
very limited areas in Texas, but in much

has been retarded by rains in portions Of
the upper Ohio valley, upper lake region
and upper Missouri valley. In the lower
Missouri valley, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Ten
nessee and the middle and southern Allan
tic states the crop has made favorable
progress. In the central gulf states early
corn has been seriously injured by drought,
and in Texas the crop is the poorest for
number of years.
Winter wheat harvest has been delayed
by rain in the lower Missouri valley, but
has progressed favorably in the Ohio valley
and middle ATLANTIC states. The crop has
experienced no unfavorable conditions dur

InlDOrtant Decision.

The supreme court declares that the
state law which prohibits any employer
from discharging an employe because
he belongs to labor organization is
contrary to the employers constitu-
tional rights, and therefore void. The
court recognizes the right of men to
combine in labor organizations. If an
employers liberty were curtaiied by
legislation, however, that of an en-
ploye could be likewise curtailed.

Fear of Peritonitis.

At five a. m. the kings condition is
exceedingly grave. The kings tenn
perature has risen during the last hour
and it is feared that peril onitis has
developed. Great anxiety is felt lest
the increased temperature is due to an
unfavorable development, such as an
abscess in the vermiform appendix per-
foraJing the intestines. The heart
weakness continues to cause grave
anxiety. Further siimulants have been
administered. The feeling at the pal
ace is that little hope remains. At
midnight the king took little nourish-
ment and a hypodecelic injection of
nitroglycerin was administered, the
hearts action being weak. His maj
esty rallied slightly and recognized
several of those about his bed. He
then relapsed into a comatose condi-
ton. The queen has left the bedside
but once since the operation. The adj
ministration of nitroglycerin to slim

shock is not yet passed and the doctors
are still fighting this peril. At this
hour the palace is everywhere closed

Operation Performed.
The kings ailment is what is known

once from appendicitis. The trouble
is in the right side, low down. Under
ordinary circumstances, he ought to

after recovery it would perhaps be four
weeks more before he would be able
to perform his part in the coronation

became so alarming Monday night that
an operation was decided upon, and
shortly before two o'clock Tuesday
afternoon his majesty was moved
from his couch to the operating table

it upwards, with an outward slant, for

CHANGE IN PASS SYSTEM,

/ CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The executive
officials Of the Western lines are con-
sidering the advisabillty OF abolishing
exchange masses in Western territory.
J. T. Harahan, chairman Of the local
passenger committee, has written a
letter to Chairman Mahoney Of the
Western Passenger Committee asking
him to call meeting for the purpose
of considering the pass agreement for
1908.
In the letter, Mr.. Harahan suggests
that under existing conditions Il might
be best to abolish all exchange passes
in the entire Western territory from
Chicago to the Pacific coast and from
the Canadian horder to the Gulf.
Mr.. Harahan points out that the
pass agreement is likely 10 be reaf-
firmed in trunk line territory for the
coming year and If so Western lines
will again be placed at disadvant-
age.
During 1902 the trunk lines have
maintained their travelling men in
Western territory at the expense Of
the Western lines. The Western lines
have at the same time been compelled
to pay for all transportation for tray
cling men in trunk line territory. This
Chairman Harahan asserts is mani
festlv an injustice and one under which
the Western lines should not rest the
coming year.
