Crop Conditions.

For the week ending June 30, Section Director E. B. Richards, of the Little Rock weather bureau, furnishes the following general summary of crop conditions in Ar kansas:
 Generally hot, dry weather, with south winds, prevailed during the forepart of the week. Heavy gener- al rains began on the evening of the 27th and continued intermittently until the close, swelling streams and inundating lowlands. These rains were, in many instances, ac- companied by high winds, which damaged corn somewhat by beat ing down and tangling. Cotton continues in generally good condi- ton, is laid by in most sections, and, as rule, is blooming and fruit ing we'll in some isolated localities where corn was suffering for the want of moisture it has been great ly benefited by the recent heavy rains and full crop is now assured in almost all sections. Wheat thrashing is progressing; while the indications in most sections are fa- vorable for an average yield, in many instances 1t will be below the average. Oat harvesting is about completed and thrashing has begun Previous estimates as to the yield are practically confirmed. Garden truck and pastures were much bene- fited by the rains Fruit conditions remain unchanged.

It is al legged Sexton was the associate of a woman who lived a few miles from Mammoth Spring. Both were warned to leave by the regulators, after the woman had been terribly whipped.

Not finding Sexton at the house of the woman men, toned, they blew it up with dyna- mite, and went to the Webb place, where Sexton was found Sexton went upstairs, and as Gibson, who had dynamite in the inside pocket of his coat, came on the porch Sex ton shot at him, the bullet striking the dynamite and exploding it, blowing Gibson to pieces.

QUITE RIGHT, TOO.

 ance of Baby's First Tooth.

ance of Baby's First Tooth
 George" exclaimed Mrs. Young husband, with radiant smile, 'baby has tooth"
 ''Has he?" was the response, in a tone which betrayed no emotion.
 'You don't seem surprised"
 ''Im not surprised All babies have first teeth. If our didn't have any I'd manage to work up some excitement, perhaps"
 q thought you'd be ever so pleased and happy about it."
 ''No; l don't see that it's any oc- casion for especial congratulation. The baby has my deepest sympathy"
 "What for?"
 'For having the first tooth. He has just struck the opening chapter of long story of trouble. Pretty soon he'll have other teeth"
 "Of course he will"
 Every one he cuts will hurt him. Then his second teeth will come and push these out. That will hurt him again. Some of the new ones will grow crooked, likely as not, and he will have to go to the dentist and have instruments adjusted to them to pull them into line. Then he'll cut his wisdom teeth. They will hurt lot. After that he'll have to go to the den- tist and let him drill holes and ham, mer until his face feels like great palpltating stone quarry. Ishouidn't like him to go through life without teeth. But l must say that I don't see any occasion for the customary hilarity over an event that means so much in the way of sorrow and humil- iation. ."-London Tit-Bits.

WATCH THE WORKERS.
Public Stoppad to See Simple Process of
 Moving a Big Pole.

hOFAAS DIS "AS'
 A gang of men were tugglng away at great pole the other day on one of the business streets trying to get it through an alley to the inside of the block, says the Washington Star. When in place it was to carry tele- phone wires, and as the telephone users were evidently numerous in that locality the pole was correspond ingly long and thick. One of the giants of the forest had fallen when the ax was laid at the root of this specimen, for what was left of the tree, stripped of its branches and it's bark, must have been fully 50 feet long and some three feet in diameter. The men pulled and hauled, but ap- parently made little progress, and yet it was no small force that was applied, as no less than 30 sun-bronzed work ingmen united their strength in the task.
 Finally with lift altogether the lightest end was raised high enough to permit a small platform on two wheels to be run under, and upon this a portion of the weight rested. The gang of men moved forward a little, and, raising the tree trunk, the plat form was pushed farther along until point was reached where the ends were balanced and then the bulk was easily pushed along the street on the wheeled platform to the alley.
 As is usual when any manual labor is going on in the streets of the city, spectators gathered about watching with the interest of fascination the spectacle of other men at work. Why such commonplace as men at labor should attract attention is one of the curious problems of human nature which has never been fully explained. Naturally, as theylooked they talked, and the latter was largely critical of the methods employed, as well as the way the job was being done From the curbstone spectators the boss of the gang might have had for nothing a whole lot of suggestions But none were offered, perhaps because none were requested.
 One man who had cool place be- meath the shade of a tree remarked, casually, but also disdainfully: "They raised them poles just that way 40 years ago. Where isyour modern ma chinery?" he added, with scorn.
 ''Perhaps hand labor is cheaper" observed his neighbor, who looked discontented.
 ''The boss of this gang" broke in a keen-looking man, said there were machines for handling telegraph and other poles, but his company did not have one"
 At that point in the discussion the pole began to move rather rapidly up the street and the group of specta- tors melted away.
