TEXAS Sun AGAIN.

The Sun OF last Thursday pub
fishes an article credited to the New
Voice OF Oct. is, which says that
1t now develops" that the letter the
New Voice published on Sept. 2 sign
ed J. B. Hardwicke, offering to sell
editorial space to the anti-prohibi-
tionists at 10 cents a line was a
forgery. THE HERALD among other
papers, is requested to reproduce
the same. The copy Of the New
Voice containing the article which
the Sun wishes this paper to re-
produce has not been received by THE
HERALD. It is sincerely to be hop
ed that the article really did APP
pear in the New Voice of that date,
but it is as little as the sun could
request that the New Voice send
copies of the said number to every
office in Texas which received the
number Of that journal in which
the forged letter was published.
THE HERALD will most willingly
make full reparation to the Sun,
if it has wronged it, and will make
all apologies due when convinced.
It cannot, however, refrain from
mentioning one discrepancy in the
Suns defense. The Sun has stated
that it has received from the New
Voice the original forged" letter
offering in Hardwicke'S name to
sell the Suns editorial space, and
as proof that it was a forgery says
that editor HardwIcke's name was
misspelled in the letter Now, in
the copy of that letter as published
in the New Voice, his name was not
misspelled, but appeared correctly
spelled. How did the New Voice
editor happen to spell ''Hardwicke"
correctly if it was spelled wrong in
the letter? Again, as the offer of
the New Voice through clarence
T. johnson" appeared to be a bona
fde offer, and as no one receiving
it had any idea that it was trap
or that any such expose would fol-
low. how did the author of that
forged" letter ever conceive the
plan which has gotten Editor
Hardwicke into such trouble? Now,
ii The HERALD has wronged Ed
itor Hardwicke, it can only repeat
that it is willing to make full re-
paration, and would be very sorry
for its fault. But it is not yet con-
WINGED. The Suns perfdious course
politically has been such as to
destroy all confidence in or respect
for II, and for this reason, it has
been easier TO believe the New
Voices accusation against it, than
to credit what appears to be very
clumsy defence on the part of the
sun in refutation OF that aecusa-
ton.

The subject of these remarks had
wriggled his way through the dense
~ growing bushes, just as the village
constable came around from the
front of the house with "A party of

turned and made his way TO the

ically, Immersed in (what seemed TO
be from his cxpression) very bitter
thoughts.
For moment he stood in the mid
die of the road. looking up and
down, as if undecided which way TO
go. 1t seemed to be matter That
required some consideration. but
presently he nodded, and, turning,
made his way along the high way
that led in a northerlv direction.

He had reached n little brook
spanned by wooden bridge. and he
stopped for moment to wipe the
perspiratiou from his face, for the
day was oppressivcly hot.
As he leaned there for moment,
with his hat off, resting and cooling
himself, peculiar ringing of a bell
reached his ears, coming from the
direction of the town he had Just
left. Job thrust his hat on his head,
and turned to see an old man ap-
preaching. On his breast he carried
some sort of n placard with an in
scription. and bell attached by a
strap around one of his wrists. With
the free hand he felt his way with
long staff.

The patriarchal figure, in earth

tail man, and bent with years. his
long, white hair falling almost to his
shoulders.
Hendricks, who had taken out a
piece of money, dropped it into the
tin cup which the blind man wore
attached to a leather belt about his
waist. At the blinking sound of the
coin dropping in the tin. the old man
paused.
God bless you. mister, and may
the Lord and all His angels watch
over you day and night"
He wore dark glasses over his eyes,
showing that he could not be wholly
blind.

TRADE REVIEW.
Prospects for Activity During the
Fall Are Said to BE En-
cOuraSing.

New York, July 19.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review Of Trade says: Settle
ment of numerous labor controversies and
prospect of early agreements as to other
struggles have greatly improved the in
dustrial outlook, while agricultural con-
ditions steadily improve. AS these have
been the only unfavorable influences for
some months. the prospects for active
trade are decidedly encouraging. Prepare
tions for unusually heavy fall sales are
being made and confidence grows stronger.
Mills and furnaces that have been idle
on account of the usual overhauling, re-
sumed as rapidly as needed repairs could

ducing no stringency, and speculation has
been heavy for the season, both in securi-
ties and staples.

DISASTER OFF ISLE OF SHOALS
Twelve Girls and Two Men Are
Drowned by Capsizing.sOf
n Boat,


Appledore Island, Isles of Shoals,
N. H., July 1S.-Twelve girls and two
men were drowned Thursday after
noon when a whale boat containing
a party of 16 walters and mattresses,
of the Oceanic hotel an Appledore
Island was overturned by squall 800
feet from the shore. The men were
college students serving as walters
during vacation and several Of the
girls were school teachers. The
bodies of nine were recovered. The
party was in charge of Skipper Fred
Miles, an experienced boatman, and
no danger was apprehended when the
party started out. When 300 feet
from the landing squall arose and
up and the young people were strug-
Cling in the water.
The accident was witnessed from
both Appledore and Star islands and
within few minutes the steamer Sam
Adams and a score of boats went to
the rescue. The confusion was SO
great, however, that only three were
IeSCueu alive, anu i've DOulcS OI IHe
IA drowned were lost. AS quickly as
possible the nine lifeless ones were
placed in charge of doctors on the
shore of Appledore island and every
effort made to resuscitate them, but
the efforts were in vain and the nine
bodies are in a morgue on the main
land in Portsmouth.
Among the drowned were ii. Cole
man harrington and w. A. Award,
both law students at Harvard, rooming
at Forsyth hall. Award and Far
rington were good swimmers, and
they lost their lives in an effort to
save some of the women.
Skipper Miles feels that the disas-
ter was due principally to the fact
that the boat was overloaded. The
steamer Sam Adams was at once head
ed for the scene of the disaster and a
rope was thrown to several of the
women in the water, but only one, Miss
Alice Haggerty, of Exeter, had
strength enough to grasp it and be
drawn aboard the boat.

ADMONISHED AND RETIRED.
Gen. Smith, Author of the "Kill and
Burn" Order, Disciplined
by President

Washington, July II. = Secretary
Root brought from Oyster Bay the
case of Gen. Jacob III. Smith, tried by
court-martial at Manila, on account of
orders issued to Maj. Waller. Gen.
Smith was found guilty of the charges
by the court and sentenced to be ad-
monished by the reviewing authority.
The president has so admonished Gen.
Smith, and retired him under the law,
which provides that officers having
reached the age of 62 years may be re-
tired at will by the president. Secre-
tary Root supplements the reprimand
of President Roosevelt in a long cir
cular in which he explains the condi-
lions which resulted in the court
martial of Gen. Smith, and shows that
although Smith issued the "kill and
burn" order, as matter of fact very
few persons were killed as result of
that order, the casualties being con-
fined almost wholly to the II natives
killed under Maj. Walters direction.

GraSShODnerS.

F. L. Washburn, state entomologist,
has been visiting localities in Norman
county reported infested with grass
hoppers and is now studying the con-
sditions near the Hill river district.
He reports only slight damage to
oats in one locality in Norman county,
considerable injury to flax, barley and
oats near GENTLY, Polk county, but
the rest restricted to one place.
He says that the condition at Hill
river is most serious and discouraging
to the farmers.
Grasshoppers are now for the most
part winged and feeding on the softer
kernels in heads of grain not touched
by them when they were younger;
that is, they are spreading over lar
ger district, and the outlook for next
year in that locality is so discouraging
that some farmers declare they will
leave the country unless something is
done to reach the cause of the trou
BILE, which is an unplowed stubble
land.
AS far as one can distinguish OBJ
iects of that size, grasshoppers can
be seen on almost every head of wheat
in some of the fields.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Crop Bulletin.


Spring wheat, oats, barley and fax
are generally in splendid condition,
though in parts OF the Red River val
ley which were flooded in the spring,
the wheat is about two weeks later
than usual; in southern counties there
are scattered reports of rust in wheat
and oats, and on rich soils wheat,
oats and some rye are lodged in small
areas. Wheat and oats are heading in
the extreme north; rye and winter
wheat are being harvested, or they
are ready to harvest, and early barley
cutting is begun in central and south
ern portions. Flax is in all stages of
growth, the earliest sown beginning
to turn color in places. Corn is still
rather small, but the favorable wealth
er is making it grow rapidly. The po-
tato crop is a good one; and early po-
tatoes are being marketed. A great
deal of clover and timothy hay has
been secured in the southern half of
the state, and wild hay is being cut.
The rains have spoiled considerable
hay in parts of the southeast. The
destructive winds on the 5th lessened
the apple crop materially in southern
counties.
