FARM WORK IS RETARDED
Rains Frequent During the Week Through
out IIIinOis-Crop
Report.

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 30.-The wea-
ther during the week was cloudy,
moderately cool and very wet. The
rains were very frequent in all sec
tions and excessive in many cases.
Farm work was retarded by the wet
weather, but fall blowing is well ad-
vanced in the northern part of the
state and about completed in the
southern part. Some wheat and rye
has been sown, and in some parts of
the southern district rye is up and in
fine condition.
The condition of the corn crop is
generally very satisfactory. Though
some correspondents in the northern
district and the northern part of the
central district report it to be soft
and not yet out of danger from very
heavy frost. the bulk of the crop is
believed to be entirely safe. Some
correspondents report that the wet
weather of the past week has caused
the corn to mold in shock to a con-
siderable extent. and reports of con-
siderable damage to low land corn,
resulting from the frosts of the 18th
and 18th. continue to be received
from parts of the northern and CEN
trail districts. In some localities of
the southern district the injury by
chinch bugs and early drouth has
shortened the crop.
The apple crop, though somewhat
short in quantity, especially in the
southern district, is generally of eX-
ceptionally fine quality, and in many
localities both quantity and quality
are much abQye. the. average.
Pastures are in excellent condition.
Potato digging is we'll. advanced, and
the yield is generally large, though
the quality has been impaired in
some sections by rotting. Some of
the second crop of hay has been dam
aged by wet weather.

RELIEF NOT ONLY FOR NEW YORK
Idea Is That 1t VIII Apply to All Sections
of the Country.

''These deposits being scattered
throughout the entire country. the re-
lief offered. it is believed, will be ma
tional rather than local, for it applies
to all sections of the country, and to
every state in the Union" That the sec
retary has intended all along that the
relief should be general, and for the
west as well as New York, was shown
by remark he made inexplaining how
the effect would be immediate in New
York.
He explained again how relieving
the banks of the necessity of carrying
reserve Immediately gave them the op-
portunity to extend credits to four
times the reserve released. You see'
he continued, your New York banks
do not care anything for cash-they do
their business by means of credits.
Their loans and deposits are in the
form Of checks and bookkeeping. and
all they want of cash is to maintain
their reserves
'Then what is the use of increas-
ing circulation" was asked.
'Oh," replied the secretary instant
ly, your banks here do not do all the
business. When it comes to the west
ern banks, when they want to make
loan for the purpose of paying for cat
tie or grain, they have got to pay out
the actual currency. They do not do
SO much of their business on books.
That is where the cash is needed, and
they call on the banks here for it,

Autler, his wife Emily. and five chill
dren, are lying at the point of death
from arsenic poisoning at their home

ing spells. excepting Il younger son
Ralph, who declined to partake of a
dish of beans.
That there seems to have been plot
to murder or seek revenge on the Aut-

examination of the beans disclosed the
presence of the deadly drug. The au-
thOrities are investigating the case.
