The Corn Crop.

The editor examined the corn
crop the first of the week and
found considerable of it badly
damaged by the early frosts. In
the lowlands a great deal of the
corn was milky yet and even on
the highest land the crop was not
free from the effects of frost, and
some Of it, with the temperature
of the weather we have been hav-
ing the past three weeks, would
not be free from the effects of the
frost before the 10th of October.
But the condition Of the crop does
not effect the country as much az
it would ten years ago as nearly
all of it will be fed up to cattle
and hogs. The early frost and
the bountiful supply of hay had q
tendency to prevent farmers from
cutting corn for fodder and very
small average will be shocked

That there are two sides to q
question is being ably demonstra-
ted by the two republican dailies
in Des Moines. Both OF them are
quoting from Roosevelt's speeches
in support of opposite contentious
on the merits of the Iowa Shelter
plank" In order to correctly an
alyze the situation, however it
should be borne in mind that the
headlines are constructed in the
respective offices and the deduc-
tions outlined therein are not all
ways warranted by the subject
matter.-Twiner.

IN almost every town, or village,
there are small children growing
up surrounded by evil associations;
and amid moral conditions that
will surely result in low grade of
citizen. Milford is no exception,
and the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children have an OPP
portunity to do an act Of kindness
to a dozen little children, by remov-
ing them from their immoral sur
roundings, The good people work.
ing to better the christian condi
ton Of the town, should turn theil
attention to these little waits. There
are several young girls in MILFORD
who are now following evil lives
who have grown up in immortality
and who might have been save
had they have been taken iron
their parents in their earlier years
and we suggest that attention b
given to the situation of such chill
dren now.

tbouoht Congress would do that, bu
when asked him to confirm a posi-
five statement which he made to me
some weeks ago, that the canal bill
would be considered at this session, he
refused to do so. Some Republican
Senators believe that the canal bill |
will be considered first and others that
the Cuban bill will take precedence.
The passage, by the Senate,on Thurs
dav.of the bill providing for the cree
tion of a union railway station in
Washington, was a serious disappoint-
ment to Senator Hansborough, who had
conceived and formulated a substitute
which provided for the erection of the
new station by the government with a
view to renting its use to the railroads.
As the measure passed carries a con-
siderable appropriation Ofpubllc funds,
the Senator from North Dakota be-
Iieved the government should retain
its ownership, and his proposition at
tracted much favorable comment from
the residents of the District of Column
bia, but so much time and labor had
already been spent on the bill, which
eventually passed by the Committee
on the District of Columbia, that the
Senator's municipal ownership" idea
was rejected.
1t is probable that caucus will b.
called for the purpose of considering
the advisability of passing the FOwle
banking and currency bill 1t is ap
preciated that it will be impossible t.
pass the measure in the Senate at thi
session as the time for so doing is nov
F SO limited, but Representative Fowle
believes that it would be an evidenc
of good faith for the House to pass it q
this session with a view to early actio
} by the Senate at the next session. TIL
bill is most complicated and require
careful study to assimilate its difIerer
provisions. Tersely put, it provides f
the transfer of the responsibility
5 maintaining the commercial reser'
J; from the government to the banks
It the country and places on the banl
# the duty of furnishing gold for expOl
It also provides for an elastic current
and for the retirement of the gree
L backs. Mr.. Fowler tells me that, in ]
} Spouse to the million copies of the /
IS port on the bill which he has Sc
= broadcast throughout the country,
has received 100000 replies common
ing the measure
One day last week the President
Il viewed the annual maneuvTes al
II sham battle of the Washington Hi
re School Cadets. Not content, as /

with viewing the formation from

the back of the line. At the conc

lence of their performance of the us

TEXAS TOWN SWEPT BY STORM
Nlnety-eIght Killed and 1903 Injured

Injured BY Tornado at Celia

Injured BY Tornado at Goliad.
Houston, Tex, May 2O.-The latest
reports from Goliad state that SO per-
sons were killed and 1913 injured by tho
tornado which passed over that city
on Sunday afternoon. The property
loss in the city and surrounding coun-
try will probably reach 100000. The
storm swept the city from end to end,
and demolished $50 stores and resi-.
dences, many of which cannot be re.
paired.
The tornado, which was preceded
by a terrific downpour of hail. lasted
only a few minutes. The hail storm
drove the people into their houses,
where they were caught like rats in
trap, and the death-dealing wind
came down upon them with terrific
force, leveling everything in its path
The tornado swept an area two blocks
wide for a distance of a mile and a
half. Houses collapsed as if built Of
cardboard, covering the dead and in
jured with debris, which necessarily
made the work of rescue slow. PEG
pie fiocked to the town from all O
the surrounding country. Many o
them had relatives in the city. TIL,
work of rescue has been carried on al
Gay, and the funeral of several of tn,
victims took place yesterday after
noon. The supply of collins has beef
replenished from other towns, and
large force of laborers is still at worl
digging graves for many of the unfo1
tunate victims.
The citizens have perfected a relic
organization, and everything is cor
Quoted in an orderly manner, tn
