Lansing, Mich, Aug. PA decided
change was made Tuesday in the eases
of Messrs. Hunter, Bickerstaff, Kauffer
and Woodwork, of the Henderson
Ames company, of Kalamazoo, who
were charged with perjury in their

POOR WEEK FOR FARMERS.
Mountains Is Too Cool for
Growing Crops.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Following is
the agricultural departments weekly
summary of crop conditions:
AS whole, the weather conditions east
of the Rocky mountains have not been
favorable, being too cool in the northern
districts eastward Of the Missouri valley,
with too much moisture in portions of the
central valleys, while excessively hot in the
southern states, with drought of greater
or less severity generally throughout the
cotton belt. Although cool, the conditions
We're fairly favorable for maturing crops
In the Ohio valley and over the southern
portion of the middle Atlantic states, as
we'll as on the Pacific coast.
Corn Is greatly in need of warm, dry
weather throughout the northern portion
of the corn belt, where the abnormally cool
weather of the past two weeks has greatly
retarded it's maturity. Over the southern
portion of the corn belt an excellent crop
of early corn is now practically assured
In portions of Iowa and central Illinois
corn has badly lodged as result of local
storms.
Spring wheat harvest is unfinished in the
northern portion of the Red River valley,
where it has been interrupted by frequent
showers, which have also seriously inter-
fered with stacking and threshing. Sprout-
Ing and rotting in stack and shock are re-
ported from Iowa and in southern Minne-
sofa threshed wheat is damp and discol-
ored. Harvest is about three-fourths fin
ished in Oregon and will be completed in
Washington during the present week. with
yields about the average, though less than
expected in Washington.
The outlook for apples in New York is
more favorable. and slightly improved
prospects are reported from Ohio ard north
ern Illinois. good crop is Indicated in
Kansas, Michigan and New England and
fair crop of some varieties in Iowa and
portions of Missouri. In many important
apple states, however, light crop isprom-
ised.
1t has been too dry for favorable progress
with blowing for fall seeding in portions of
the middle Atlantic states. lake region
and Oklahoma; elsewhere the reports in
dictate that this work has made favorable

OHIO LEGISLATURE.
Meets in Special Session to Enact a
Code of Laws for the Govern
ment of MunicipaIities.

Columbus, o., Aug. 26.-The Ohio leg
islature convened at three p. m. Mon
day in extraordinary session to enact
laws to provide for the government of
municipalities and to restore lost jur-
isdiction to the supreme court, these
matters having been rendered chaotic
by the action of that court during the
early summer.
In his message Gov. Nash first calls
attention to the act passed last May,
depriving the supreme court of nearly
all the appellate jurisdiction formerly
possessed by the court. The repeal of
the act is recommended.
The governor then traces briefly the
history of constitutional government
of municipalities in Ohio and advises
that the legislature ignore the re-
quests for constitutional convention.
He then submits his ideas of the neces-
sity of the situation in the form of
municipal code bill, the enactment Of
which he recommends.

GIVES CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Manufacturing and Lumber Intere st =
on the Mississippi Hurt by Both
High and Low Water.

Keokuk, Ia, Aug. 27.-An unprece-
denied state of affairs exists on the
Mississippi river as a result of differ
ent meteorological conditions in diff
ferent portions of its valley. Lumber
interests are approaching paralysis
from Low water on the higher
stretches of the river, and manufac-
turing interests are losing heavily
from high water just above St. Louis.
Great alarm exists among river men
around Dubuque, where the stage of
water is only about two feet, the low
est mark reached for years. The river
fuctuates up and down with the fall
ings greater than the rises, and the
stage Tuesday morning at La Crosse
was only Clio feet at the government
gauge, with 27-10 feet as far down as
Davenport. The general belief among
lumber men is that the present season
will be the shortest in 20 years. The
Dubuque mills have a supply of logs
for only a week or two, and until a
marked rise in the river comes they
must shut down. The same conditions
exist in cities on that part of the river
farther down. The forecast of the
weather bureau is for continued fall
ing of the river.
On the other hand, the river below
the mouth of the Des Moines river has
been high all summer. AT Hannibal
1t is seriously interfering with dredge
building in the Burlington route yards
l. = \ e 1
railroad is under water. Various fac
tories are disturbed by the high stage
of water on the lower part of the up
per Mississippi, and each smart rise
causes fears of flood damage.
