PRESIDENTS CONDITION.
anotI,er Onernt.an, i.r,or,ned on
Injured Limb-Bone Slightly
ARe ct ed.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Secretary
Cortelyou at $3.50 O'clock Sunday after
noon issued the following statement:
CDR. Newton M. Shaffer, of New
York, Joined the presidents physicians
in consultation Sunday morning at 10
o'clock. The increase in local symp-
toms and rise in temperature rem
dered it necessary to make an incislon
into the small cavity, exposing the
bone, which was found to be slightly
affected. Thorough drainage is now
established, and the physicians feel
confident that recovery will be unin-
terrupted. The operation was per-
formed by Surgeon General Rixey, as
sisted by DR.. Lung, and in consultation
with Surgeon General O'Reilly and
Doctors Shaffer, Uric and Stitt.
GEORGE B. CORTELYOU,
Secretary to the President"
At the temporary white house Mon
day morning it was stated that the
president spent very good night; in
fact, the best since he was brought
here from indianapolis.
The president stood the operation
very well and subsequently expressed
his satisfaction at the successful re-
suit. The physicians take a roseate
view of the presidents prospects for
getting out again. He has become
somewhat FESTIVE because of his close
confinement, and the physicians are
considering the advisability of permit
ting him to take a ride in few days.
The physicians say the question now
is simply one of the healing of the
wound, and reiterate that this will be
FASTENED by the operation made Sun
day. In the evening DR.. Shaffer, while
he declined to discuss generally the
presidents case, authorized in the
most positive manner the statement
that there need not be the least cause
for anxiety or alarm regarding his con
dition, but said on the contrary he could
give every assurance of the belief that
the president would soon recover.

TOO WET FOR CROPS.
turing of Fall-Sown Grain, AL
though Aiding Flowing.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
"As whole the week was very
wet in the districts west of the
Rocky mountains with temperatures
generally above normal, except over
the middle Rocky mountain slope,
where it was moderately cool.
While the excessive rains interrupt
ed farm work and delayed the matur-
ing of late crops, they proved ia
vorable for termination of fall-sown
grain and placed the soil in fine con-
dition for blowing and seeding. No
damage resulted from frosts, which
We're confined to the central and
northern Rocky mountain districts
and extreme north Pacific coast re-
gions. The general conditions on the
Pacific coast were favorable, al
though rain is needed in eastern Ore
gon.
THE weather has been very unfa-
vorable for maturing late corn in the
central valleys and lake region, espe-
cially over the northern portion of
these districts, and the reports indi-
cate that corn in shock has been con-
siderably damaged by dampness and
mold over wide area, and that
much of the crop in the upper lake
region and Missouri valley will not
be marketable.
But little, if any, change in the
| annie situation is indicated the crOI
being light in the middle Atlantic
states and Ohio valley, with more ia
vorable conditions in the upper lake
region and Missouri valley, fin.
yields of good quality being gath
cred in some states.
while blowing for fall seeding i.
much behind in portions of the Mis-
souri, valley, this work has mad
good progress elsewhere"

EMILE lola.

the room was broken into Monday
morning. At about noon she was re-
moved to a private hospital where she
recovered consciousness for short
time and was able briefly to explain
to magistrate what had happened.
Emile lola, aside from being IA
nous novelist, was the foremost man
in Europe during the Dreyfus affair.
1t was his letter of accusation
against high officials of France that
brought the eyes of the world upon
him. He charged the minister of war
and other government officials with
perjury at the trial of Col. Ferdinand
Esterhazy, and the government held
him responsible. He was an exile from
France because of his bold charges.
Among his most famous works was
the series of political, social and physi-
illogical studies which have been called
his Human Comedy" These works
passed through many editions and Gre
ated great sensation.
During the past 80 years lola has
written "Une Page GLAMOUR" lie
Bouton de Rose" "Nana." spot
Bouille," "Germinal," La Ierre, La
Bette Humane" "L'Argent," ia
| Debacle" and other novels.
In 1855 NJ. lola was appointed a
knight of the Legion of Honor, and in
1891 he was made president of the
French Society of Men of Letters.
Zola's work "Lourdes" created a
great commotion in religious circles,
and Pope Leo XIII. refused him an
| audience because of it.
Perhaps no author of modern times
has been so extensively read as lola.
His translators and publishers in many
countries have been prosecuted and
punished as criminals by authorities
whom his realism scandalized.
