VansvilI: Farmers Club.

The Evansville Farmers Club met last
Saturday evening at Cedar Hil.r the
residence of Mr.. Laurie E. Burke, two
miles west of Contee Station, this county.
Those present were:
Lloyd E. Dorsey, president; ]. R.
Owens, secretary; Col. w. 8. Powell, 8.
w. Beall, Luther Brashears and Laurie
E. Burke. The guests were Professor T.
H. Spence, W. T. L. Talisferro and DR..
H. B. Mcdonnell, Maryland Agricultural
College; L. D. Cassard, +. H. Brinkley.
Walter Bendz, William and Myron Burke.
Colonel Frey. of Washington, and K. A.
Fuller.
The report of the inspection committee,
Colonel Powell, chairman, complimented
the host upon the general excellent ap-
pearance Of the farm and the fine condi-
ton of the crops. In concluding the re-
port he said: 1.-The only thing We criticise
is the new feature introduced by the
Nessrs. Burke-of farmers wearing pat
ent-leathel shoes. At first we thought
the fad could be attributed to lack vi
blacking or the disinclination to black, but
in concluding the report we are informed
that the Zeal reason is to enable the boys
to get to church on time Sundays, to say
nothing of getting to the girls houses
early in the evening" This criticism
was received with much merriment.
The next meeting will be held at the
residence of Mr.. George E. Loweree,
near Contee, October 18th.

Laurel Legislates Against Dogs.

The city council of Laurel was c"nven-
ed on Tuesday night for tie purpose
of taking action in regard to the mad dog
which ran amuck in the town Tuesday.
An order was passed instructing the bail
ifs of the town to notify all owners of
dogs to keep them in confinement for the
next thirty days, until all danger is past.
They were also notified that if allowed to
run at liberty they should see that the
dogs are properly muzzled.
The collie dog which was killed Tues
day, and which was taken to the Pasteur
department of the City Hospital in Balti-
more by DR.. T. W. Byerly, has since been
found to have been owned by Luther
Brashears, residing about two miles from
that town. Ali those bitten by the dog
are rapidly recovering from their wounds,
and it is thought no serious results will
follow

In MemOriaIn.

In loving remembrance of my dear hus-
band, Clarence L. Cooke, who died Tues
day, September 10th, 1902, aged 80 years.
He was kind and loving husband for G
years. He had been a sufferer for 8
months. His disease was consumption.
He was man respected by all who knew
him. He leaves widow and one son and
a large number of sorrowing friends to
mourn his loss.
Farewell, farewell, my husband dear
I've spent nine sad and lonely days:
You left me with an aching heart,
The day that you and did part.
Ny heart is sad and lonely still,
My grief toe deep to tell;
But time will come to me so soon,
When l may with thee dwell
You are gone, but not forgotten,
Though you went nine days ago.
BY HIS LOVING WIFE.

Condition Of the Crops.

The Weather Bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
The temperature conditions were gen.
orally favorably in all districts east of the
Rocky Mountains, although the week was
decidedly cool in the South Atlantic States
and Missouri Valley. Heavy rains re-
tarded work in Florida, portions of the
Central West Gulf States and portions of
the Upper Mississippi and Missouri Val
leys while a large part of the Middle and
South Atlantic States need rain for fall
blowing and pasturage.
The Middle and Southern Rocky Noun
much-needed rains. The week has been
generally cool on the Pacific coast, with
rainfall slightly in excess of the average
in portions of Oregon and Washington.
Frosts occurred in the Rocky Mountain
districts, Missouri and Upper Mississippi
Valleys and lake region, but were less
damaging than those of the previous
week.
No further material damage by frosts
has been sustained by the corn crop dur
ing the week. The reports indicate,
however, that previous estimates of injury
by the frosts of the 10Th and 18th have
been conservatively stated, and that a
large part of the late crop over the
Northern districts has been seriously in
jured. Over the Southern portion of the
corn belt an exceptionally fine crop is now
assured.
1t will require about 10 days to mature
late tobacco in Kentucky. Elsewhere
cutting has been finished and the crop is
curing satisfactorily.
Flowing and fall seeding have progress.
ed favorably, except in portions of the
Middle Atlantic States, where the soil was
too dry.

Hicks Forecasts for October.

October will begin with reactionary
storms of rain, and possibly snow to the
north. passing eastwardly over the country.
New moon on the Ist will cause higher
temperature, with electrical storms, high
tides and probably seismic disturbances
on and touching that date, but cold gales
from the northwest with rising barome-
ter will follow quickly. During the Vul-
can storm period, 18th to 9th, the weather
will grow decidededly warmer, beginniu g
in western parts and moving eastward,
the barometer will fall at the same time,
and cloudiness and rain will follow
touching most parts of the country in
their eastward progress about Sunday the
9Th to Wednesday the 9th. Storms of
this period promise to be general and
severe, with great probability of wintry
aspects in all northerly directions. Snow
with heavy sleet are entirely probable,
followed by high barometer and cold.
The Mercury period is central on the 10th
and continues to the 10Th. Much cloudi-
ness with drizzle and sleet are results to
be expected during much Of the Mercury
period. A rise in temperature and rain
and snow storms of increased extent and
energy, will be natural on and touching
the 18th and 18th.
The Vulcan storm period, central on
the 18th and covering the 18th to Goth, is
within the Venus period, with Moon on
the celestial equator on the 18th, at a
total eclipse node on the 10th, and at
perigee and greatest north declination on
the 10Th and Goth Without the least de-
sire to be sensational, we will say that
severe and dangerous autumnal storms
and tides are very probable at this period.
Rain, snow and sleet will visit most in
terror sections, and big October cold
wave and very high barometer will wind
up the period.
Reaction to much warmer, with falling
barometer and more rain, turnir 6 to snow
northward, will be natural results on and
touching the 23rd and Gath. All these
OctoOer peflOus Will emu IN more or less
storminess with stiff, cold gales over the
great lakes and the northwest generally.
By the middle of the month the boreal
waves and frosts will reach quite to the
gulf regions.
The last five days of the month are
covered by regular storm period, blend
ed with the Venus disturbance at its
center, with Moon on the celestial equa
tor on tie 9th and new again on the 31st
The indications are that storms tropical
in kind, with thunder and rain south
ward, will come during the first develop
ments of this period.
