A STRANGE WARNING.
The Way an English Officer Was
Saved From Death.

"An Eng6sh girl was engaged to

who went into a trance and began
to speak. Immediately the girls
lover claimed to be present. He
told her number Of things which
only they two had ever known. He
recalled circumstances connected
with their acquaintance abroad.
"Now, it so happened that this
young lady's father was an English
officer in the war in South Africa.
Among other things which the
young man told was this: Z am glad
that l have been able to save your
fathers life once or twice during
the past summer
"Now comes the strange coinci-
dence, if coincidence only it be. The
father writes home from South At
RIGA, being entirely ignorant of all
that had taken place here, and re-
lates what seems to him a somewhat
remarkable fact. He tells how he
was sitting in his tent one day when
there came upon him suddenly an
unaccountable impression that he
was in danger. 1t was as though some
one were trying to make him feel
this and induce him to move. So
strong was the feeling that he got
up and went over to the other side
of the tent. He had hardly done
this before a shell struck the chair
where he had been sitting. Had he
remained there he would have been
instantly killed.-.-a.A--.<

The "white Faces on the Range

The "White Faces" on the Range.
AS a breed the long specialization of
the Herefords for beef production has
operated to give them n less general
distribution than the Shorthorns. but
the strength OF the breed lies i'm this
very fact. Its value for grazing pur-
poses and for prime beef production
commands attention. The close uni
formity of type is also noteworthy.
Though among the first breeds to be
introduced Herefords were little known
In the United States until the opening
or the range country. The impetus
which this gave the cattle trade
brought them into prominence. and be-
ginning about the year 1880 II rapid
growth has put the white faces second
In point of numbers in this country
and almost supreme on the range.

to end them. Last night a double
guard, supplied with ball cartridges,
surrounded the camp and the sentries
have been Instructed that if Saturday
nights stone throwing is repeated
they shoot to kill and investigate af-

during the day to make a full investi-
cation. He put Stopponitz through a
searching examination. The prisoner
said there were only four men in the
body. He gave the name of one of
them as Michael Lavotiz and said he
did not know who the others were.

Queen Leaves Madrid.

Madrid, Aug. 2.-Queen Maria Chris
tina, mother of King Alfonso, accom-
panied by the infant Maria, has left
here for Vienna. Ever since the young
king assembled the throne there has
been discord between the king and his
mother. His conduct toward her OF
late has been so disrespectful, not to
say brutal, that it has given rise to-
stories of mental alteration as the on
ly explanation. 1t has been reported
that he has utterly lost his respect for
his mother and curses her if she tries
to cross him in any way. He once
went so far as to ring for an officer Of
the guards to eject his mother from
his presence, when his confessor, who
had been called, entered and succeed
ed in subduing him. Since then the
queen mother has refused to see him
except in public and has passed most
of her time in prayer

TEXAS CROPS FINE
WEATHER is FINE FOR COTTON
IN THE DENlsoN COUNTRY.
LOSS ON ACCOUNT FLOOD.
Estimated That Crop Has Been Cut
Short From 80 to 40 Per Cent by
the Recent Flood.

Taylor, Williamson County, Texas,
Aug. 4.-The crop prospects in vii
hanson county, while they are very
discouraging in some sections of the
county, yet at the same time it is be-
lieved that fair average crop will be
made in the county. The cotton is
very small in some localities, but
again in other places it is considered
very fine and it is estimated that the
crop will be 5000 bales short from
that OF last year. The recent heavy
and it is believed that very little corn
will have TO be bought on this ac-
count. The rainfall during the month
of July amounted to eight inches, four
inches of which fell last week within
twenty-four hours. The rain has been
general over the county and nearly
every section has received this
amount.
Hearne, Robertson County, Aug. A.
Your correspondent has been in.
formed by quite number of the
planters of the Brazos bottoms ada
cent to this place that the damage
done to cotton alone by the recent
high waters would be between 80 and
40 per cent, and as yet the damage
done to the corn crop cannot be esti-
mated, for on most OF the plantations
the corn is a complete loss.
Denison, Grayson County, Texas,
Aug. 4.-Yesterday was the hottest
day of the season. Everything is siz-
zling. 1t is just what is wanted for
the cotton crop, and will kill out the
few worms that have appeared. The
outlook for the cotton crop has not
been more favorable in years. To
quote hundreds of farmers: 1T is just
splendid Three days of intense heat
and all indications of clear weather.
Pelican, Liberty County, Texas, Aug.
4.-Crop conditions are generally ia
t'Uclffd0ie, New corn is in evidence at

be much better than was expected
some weeks ago. The rainy, cloudy
weather has favored the boil weevil.
Sheridan, Bee County, Texas, Aug.

most 100 bales of cotton OF the new

this county and in this immediate vi
cinity, but some portions are still dry
Calvert, Robertson County, Texas,
Aug. 4,-The farmers here are very
apprehensive of danger to cotton crop
caused by the boil weevil, as they
have made their appearance in large
numbers since the recent rains.
Marquee, Leon County, Texas, Aug
4.-The recent heavy rains have dam
aged the crops very much. Cotton is
beginning to scald and throw off, and
the yield will be materially decreased
in consequence.
Denton, Denton County, Texas, Aug.
4.-The cotton is opening up very rap
idly and the season is expected to be-
gin about the 18th to goth instant.
The prospect for fair yield is good.
Cuero, De Witt County, Texas. Aug
4.-About 1876 bales Of cotton came in
yesterday, the price being s2.s5 per

press has started for the season.
