Condition of the Crops.

The Weather Bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
Although the week averaged somewhat
CO oler than usual in portions OF the Lake
region and Northern New England, where
light frosts occurred, the temperature
conditions were generally favorable in the
districts east of the Rocky Mountains and
also in the Middle and South Pacific coast
regions The States of the Lower Mis-
souri, Valley have again suffered from
excessive rains, which have also interrupt
ed farm work in the northern portions of
Illinois and Indiana and the southern
portions of Wisconsin and Michigan.
Rain is now generally needed along the
Gulf and Atlantic coasts from Texas to
Southern New England. and drought is
becoming serious in the Carolinas and in
the Central and West Gulf districts.
Will ample moisture and favorable
throughout the central valleys, bat is
much in need of cultivation in the States
of Lower Missouri Valley and Wiscon-
sin. In the Lower Ohio Valley and
Tennessee the crop is well cultivated and
in promising condition, but the Central
and West Gulf States is suffering much
from drought.
The warm, showery weather of the
past week has been favorable to the
development of rust in winter wheat in
portions of Missouri and Indiana, and has
caused lodging to some extent in Illinois
and Missouri. With these exceptions
general improvement in the condition
of the crop is indicated. Harvesting has
begun as far north as North Carolina
Tennessee, and the southern portions of
Missouri and Kansas, but is progressing
under difficulties, resulting from heavy
rains, in the last-named State. On the
Pacific Coast the wheat outlook continues
promising, although grasshoppers are
causing some damage in the Sacramento
and San Joaquin valleys.
In Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
and North Carolina the conditions have
not been favorable for transplanting to-
bacco, and the condition of the early
planted in the two last named States has
deteriorated In the Ohio Valley and
Tennessee transplanting is nearly finish
sd, the acreage in Kentucky being reduc
ed cn account of insufficient plants and
unfavorable seasons Cutting is in pro-
gress in South Carolina.
On the whole the fruit outlook con-
tinues unfavorable, the most promising
region, the northern portion of the Mid
die Atlantic States, and New England.
Except in the Middle Atlantic States
and Ohio Valley, the grass crop has ex-
perienced decided improvement.

The Bishops Visit.

Bishop Satterlee, of the Diocese of
Washington, visited Trinity Church, this
town, last Saturday. A very impressive
service was held at II O'Clock, the Rector.
Rev. Joseph A. Specht, being assisted in
the reading of morning prayer by Rev.
Frank P. Wllies, of St. Thomas Church,
Groom The Bishop preached an able
sermon, taking his text from Acts, Chap,
s verses. After the sermon he admin
istered the holy rite Of confirmation to
class of twenty, composed of grown per-
sons as we'll as children. The beloved
Rector of Trinity Church, who is ever
most earnest for the spiritual welfare OF
his congregation, deserves to be COM
mended for having prepared so large
class for confirmation. The Bishop spent
the day with Mr.. Specht, and in the eve
ming went to Charles county. A large
congregation attended the service.

Died at the Providence Hospital, Wash
in gton, D. c., of rheumatic fever, May
3Oth, 1902, Florence Victoria Hodges,
second daughter of John T. and Mary
Brady Hodges, aged 8 years.
Never was there a more attractive and
lovely child than little Florence. She
was an idol in ber home, having a bright,
affcctionate disposition and always a low
ing smile for every one. She was the adj
miration of all who knew her.
If love and sympathy could heal broken
hearts her bereaved father and mother
could never feel a pang, but the void is
too great to be filled, and only time and
the grace of loving God can ever Danish
the silent gloom which overshadows the
home of her beloved.
Fold her little hands together,
Gently close her sweet blue eyes;
See how like broken lily,
Pale and beautiful she lies.
By HER LOVING AUNT FLORENCE.
In loving remembrance of our little
Luutt, W HUH Vic uSSlS hoiiiS ohS
year ago today, June 12th, 1901.
Another little lamb has gone
To dwell with Him who gave;
Another little darling babe
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst His shining band,
And so He bent with loving smile,
And clasped our darling's hand
Jesus while our hearts are bleeding
Ger the spoils that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting
Calmly say,-"Thy will be done"
Though cast down we're not forsaken,
Though afflicted not alone.
Thou ddst give and Thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, "Thy will be done"
By HER MOTHER, CARRIE V. CHANEY.

Departed this life June 3rd at the resi-
dence of his cousin, near this town, 5.
Bernard Crawford, beloved son of Benja-
min and Mary Crawford, in the 23rd year
of his age.
Few of his age have departed from our
midst more generally beloved than he
whose sad death we now mourn. Oh, how
sadly we miss him at home. Fain would
we have kept him longer with US, but God
in His all-wisc providence saw fit to call
him home, and meekly we say, His will,
not ours, be done. He was a member of
Trinity Church.
With us his name shall ever live
Through long. succeeding years;
Embalmed with all our hearts can give
Our praises and our tears.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
Ger the spoil that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting
Camly say-Thy will be done.
Nearer the bound Of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.

CASE OF
Young Lady Of crookston Disappears
While Out Skating.

Crookston, Mimi, Dec. 4.-Miss Ger
trude Strassburger, q years old and
daughter Of an arcitect of this city,
is mysteriously missing. In COM
pany with several companions she
went skating on Red Lake river last
evening, and, firing, sat down to rest,
the others continuing the sport. When
they returned for her a few minutes
later she was gone, and all attempts
to find her have proved u%navailing.
1t was at first believed she had
preceded her companions to her home,
but when this vas found net to be
the case a searching party was or
ganized, and she was sought until
morning. There is but u place on
the river where there is oGen wa.er,
and this is SURROUNDED .g ugh
ice where no one e.tt.4 aka,e if they
wished. Careful scrutiny showed that
no one had been lear it, and the
theory generally accepted is that OF
abduction.
There is nothing in the case to war
rant the idea of her having eloped.
The family is distracted and the po-
lice and searching parties are still
endeavoring to solve the mystery.
