Timely Rains.

The rains Of the past week have
improved the condition Of the crops
Of the Delta very materially. The
corn was suffering severely from the
drouth and the rain came just in
time to save it from utter ruin.
There are still a few sections of the
Delta that are without rain for sew
cral weeks, but only in small sec-
tons The hail that accompanied
the rain last week did some damage
to young corn and cotton. The croF
conditions on the whole, however
are very favorable.

WASHERS
Release Bewailed by
Toledo Blade.
The Fans There Thought Well Of
the Local Youth.

"Buck" Washer was released by
Manager Strobel, of the Toledo team,
Sunday evening. He left at once to
Join Little Rock, OF the Southern
league. Chas. A. Marvin, sporting edl,
tor of the Toledo Blade, formerly city
editor of the Democrat, makes the re-
lease of young Washer the occasion for
some hot shot for Manager Strobel and
incidentally to explain why Toledo has
so excellent chance of carrying away
the tail-end honors in the American
Association. The Blade says:
"Buck" Washer, who pitched for To
ledo Saturday, was released today by
Manager Strobel. When the young
man was brought here, 1t was under
stood that he was to have fair
chance. In the only game that he
pitched he held the opposing team
down to seven hts. 1t Is true that
he allowed seven men to walk to first
base, but, considering the fact that
he was a stranger and had had no work
for month or more, 1t is not peculiar
that he should be trifle wild. A
majority Of those who witnessed Sat
urdays game believed that the boy
could make good. He hit a 800 clip,
getting two safe drives out of four
times at bat. This idea of Judging u
mans ability as player in one game
is one reason why Toledo Is trailing
along nt the tail end. There are
a number of men on the team who
seem to think they can tell whether
man Is fit for their class by simply
looking him over. Hep Niles of Adrian
was brought to Toledo and looked over,
and told to go home. He did not even
get an opportunity to catch a ball.
While Strobel is doing this, other man
ayers are rounding up youngsters who
know the game. Toledo is still in tail
end place"

Down Ills Load Of Care.

Hartford, Conn, Aug 12.--The body
of Burton Carrier of Crescent City,
Fla, was found yesterday afternoon
In King Philips cave in Simsbury. A
searching party has been out for sew
eral days hunting him. Carrier had

NIT suicide and that he did not want
his body disturbed, from the. spot
where he would die. The cave was

great Indian chief who once stood
upon the brow of hill and watched
the village of Simsbury burn after
he had fired it.
Carrier leaves wife and two chill

lost $4,000. and the loss affected his
mind. He has been small grower

President Roosevelt retiring him, Gen
eral Smith last night completely broke
down when met at the train by his old

When the train pulled in the crowd

people shouted and cried for Smith,

the multitude, the noise of the bands,

General Smith declined to discuss
his enforced retirement. At the Ban
non home, the general, touched deeply
by the reception, made brief speech
from the big veranda. He said

Cotton to Be Grown on
the Island.
Americans Have Bought a Lot
of Land.

Havana, Aug. 12-New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio capitalists, head
ed by George w. Ireland, of Phila-
delphia, have purchased n tract of
100000 acres Of the most desira BILE
land in Cuba. 1t has been discovered
that Santiago province between Santi-
ago de Cuba and Manzanillo on the
south coast of the island is capable of
producing the finest grade of sea island
cotton, and 1t is now the purpose of the
new company, which is known as the
George w. ireland Land Co., to be-
gin the culture of cotton in great guam
titles at once.
Four million dollars will be spent
in Improvements and instead of ship
ping the cotton to the United States
for manufacture it will be ginned and
manufactured on the plantation. The
government authorities of Cuba, es-
pecially President Palma and Secre-
tary Terry of the department of agri-
culture, commerce and industry. are
taking great interest in the new en-
terprise and are fostering it in every
way possible.
1t is believed by them that in cot
ton Cuba has found substitute for
sugar and that within a few years
the importation Of cotton stuffs to
Cuba will be thing Of the past, and
that Cuba will be able to ship cotton
to the United States and Europe of
finer grade and at cheaper price than
Is now furnished by the states of the

total difference in insurance rates would

"As 1t is now," said Mr.. Prentice,
property is insured for almost its full
value and fire department would
benefit in this way, that people would
risk more. They would have less fear
Of losing their possessions by fire and
would carry less insurance and in that
way the amount of insurance would be
considerably cut down. This report
is not very encouraging, but 1t is all
that I can make, and | have thorough
