counties and reports having purchased
about two hundred acres Of the choic-
est crops of tobacco for E. Rosen-
valid & Bro. of New York, which firm
he represents here. Mr.. Roe was the

Last Tuesday four-year- old child of
Ole Lerdahl, of Keyeser, fell off of to-
bacco rack with her head directly in
front of one Of the wheels, but just as
the wheel struck the child's head the
father saw it and grabbed the wheel and
prevented it from passing entirely over.
DR.. Bertrand was called and when he ar
rived the child was playing about and
seemed none the worse for the accident
There was no external wound, but on ex-
animation he found large depression on
the head and that the skull was fractur-
ed. A fractured skull generally results
fatally, but this child does not seem to
experience any bad effects from it.-De-

At no time in the history Of disease

Today We see q relative, friend OF

of kidney trouble-Bright's disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes ad

afflicted is aware Of It's presence; that
is why we read of so many sudden
deaths of prominent business and pro
fessiohal men, physician3 and others
They have neglected to stop the leak
in time.
While scientists are puzzling thei,
brains to find out the cause, each In
dividual can, by little precaution
avoid the chances of contracting dread
ed and dangerous kidney trouble, OF
eradicate it completely from their sys

lives might have been, and many more
can yet be saved, by paying attention
to the kidneys.

CROPS
Are In Fair Con.
dition.
Rains Have Helped
Ohio Valley.
Heavy Frosts Have Done
Damage.

Washington, May 29.--The weather
bureaus weekly summary OF crop con-
ditions Is as follows:
The week ending May % was one
of highly favorable temperature con.
ditions in all districts east Of the
Rocky mountains with abundant rain
fall over the greater portion of the
central valleys. lake region and mid
die Atlantic states. Drought condi.
tions in the Ohio valley have been ef-
fectually relieved. except in southern
Illinois. and while partially broken
over the greater part of the middle and
south Atlantic states. more rain was
needed at the close of the week in
those districts. Rain is much needed
in Alabama and In central and In
southern Florida excessively heavy
rains retarded work and caused some
damage by washing and overflows in
the lake region and in the states Of
the Ohio and lower Mississippi valleys.
On the Pacific coast the first part OF
the week was too cold in Washington
and Oregon. but more favorable con-
ditions prevailed during the latter part;
in California with the exception Of
dry winds. the. week, though cooler
than usual, was generally favorable.
Heavy frosts occurred on the 10Th and
Goth in the middle and southern Rocky
Mountain districts. causing consider
able damage. Heavy rains have in
terrupted corn planting over extensive
areas in the Missouri, upper AIississip-
pi and Ohio valleys and Lake regions
| in portions Of which districts much
replanting will be necessary as a re-
suit of overflows and washed lands.
The early planted has made good
growth throughout the central valleys,
but is suffering for cultivation in the
lower Missouri valley.
In the southern states the crop has
made good progress and much of the
early planted has been laid away.
Recent rains in the Ohio valley, Ten
nessee and the middle Atlantic states
have put the soil in favorable condi-
tion for transplanting tobacco, which
work is well advanced in these dis
tricts. In the Carolinas stands are
irregular and insects are destructive.
Plants are generally plentiful except
in central and eastern Kentucky and
are overground in portions of Virgin
la and Tennessee.
Orchards have sustained damage by
local storms in the Ohio valley. and
on the whole the general fruit outlook
is less encouraging than earlier in
the season. Peaches are dropping ex-
tensively in the middle and south At
lantic states.

jet-black native, who had been ar
rested for some trivial offense the
week before. He is actually the only
person in all the city of St Pierre to
live through the fiery deluge.
Sartout, who is now in a hospital at
Fit de France, had become obstreper-
Gus in his prison, and was transferred
to the dungeon below the level of the
sidewalk. facing the Rue Dieppe,
which slants downward toward the
roadstead.
He heard the faint echo of the
rumbling of Pelee. He felt the tremor
of the earth as he had felt it many
times before, and was not afraid.
But he quickly realized that some
thing extraordinary was going on
He could not see anything, but the
thick stone walls of his prison could
not prevent him from hearing the
deep rumble and cyc!onic tearing OF
the ball of death through the city III
which he had lived all his life. He
was panic,stficken with fear, and beat
with his hands against the walls, so ht
said.
He succeeded in getting open II dool
leading into cell Il little larger than
his, over which there was an iron graf
ing looking up through the Sidewalk
He stumbled into this apartment tt
find it half filed with u sitting mass
of hot ashes and dust. 1t burned hin
severely and he was not slow to retrel
to the inner cell from which he hat
just escaped.
Then came the awful silence tha
seemed to paralyze him with feal
