Gave a poped Cigarette

While on his way to the Imperial
bank in Warsaw recently Constantine
KaidaX, a young Pole. was accosted
by an elegantly dressed man who DO
htely asked him the way to the bank.
Il am going there" replied Con-
stantine, land we may as well walk
together" He had with him a roll
of rubles worth about $4,000 which he
was intending to deposit.
The stranger thanked him, and Of
fered him a cigarette, and began to
smoke. A few minutes later he be-
came very sick and tainted in his COM
panion's arms. When he recovered
consciousness he found himself in a
drug store and soon saw that his ele-
gantly dressed companion and his roll
of roubles had disappeared. While he
was wondering what had become of
them the druggist told him that he had
certainly been robbed.
Your companion vanished as sotn
as he brought you in here" he said
"and, of course, l suspected nothing al
the time, but 1 soon noticed a peculiar
odor from the half-burned cigarette
which you held between your fingers
and when l examined 1t l saw plainly
enough that you had been drugged."

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 26.-Fol-
lowing is the agricultural departments
weekly summary of the crop condi-
TONS
AS a whole the weather conditions
east of the Rocky mountains have not
been favorable, being too cool in the
northern districts eastward OF the Mis-
sissippi valley, with too much moisture
in portions of the central valleys while
excessively hot in the Southern states,
with drought of greater or less severity
generally throughout the cotton belt
Although cool, the conditions were fair
ly favorable for maturing crops in the
Ohio valley and over the southern por
ton of the middle states as we'll as on
the Pacific coast.
Corn Needs Warm, Dry Weather.
Corn is greatly in need of warm,
dry weather throughout the northern
portion of the corn belt, where the alb
normally cool weather of the past two
weeks has greatly retarded its matu-
rity. Over the southern portion of the
corn belt an excellent crop of early
corn is now practically assured. In por-
lions Of Iowa and Central Illinois corn
has badly lodged as a result of local
storms. Spring wheat harvest is un-
finished in the northern portions of the
Red River valley, where it has been
interrupted by frequent showers, which
have also seriously interfered with
stacking and threshing Sprouting and
rotting in stack and shock are reported
from Iowa and in southern Minnesota
threshed wheat is damp and discolored.
Harvest is about three fourths finished
in Oregon, and will be completed in
Washington during the present week,
with yields about the average, though
less than expected in Washington.
Cotton is Off.
A decided deterioration in the con-
dition of cotton is reported generally
throughout the central and western
portions of the cotton belt, as well as
over a large part of the eastern dis
tricts. The most favorable reports are
from the Carolinas. Throughout the
central and western districts, with the
exception of Northern Mississippi and
Indian Territory, where the crop is do
ing well, the reports indicate decided
decline in its condition, rust, shedding
and premature opening being general.
In Texas the deterioration has been
pronounced, and under the most ia
vOrable future weather conditions a
yield in excess of the average is i'm
probable
The week has been very favorable for
cutting and curing tobacco, and the
crop has generally improved, although
~ VIII ne SIlOIl III KENTUCKY anu pOr-
uonS of Tennessee, Virginia and Mary
land.
Apple Outlook is Improved.
The outlook for apples in New York
is more favorable, and slightly i'm
proved prospects are reported from
Ohio and northern Illinois. A good
crop is indicated in Kansas, Michigan
and New England, and a fair crop OF
some varieties in Iowa and portions of
Missouri. In many important apple
states, however, a light crop is prom
ised
1t has been too dry for favorable
progress with blowing for fall seeding
in portions of the Middle Atlantic
states, lake region and Oklahoma; else
where the reports indicate that this
work has made favorable advance
ment.
