The Weekly Summary of the Wenth-
er Bureau.
Washington, Aug. 12.-The following is
the weather bureaus weekly summary VI
crop conditions:
Portions OF Virginia. the Carolinas, Geor-
gia, Tennessee, northern Alabama, south
eastern Missouri and the lower Ohio valley
continue to need rain, and drought condl-
tions have developed to some extent in por-
tlons of Nebraska. South Dakota and north
ern Wisconsin. The principal agricultural
districts elsewhere east of the Rocky noun
tains have experienced very favorable con-
ditions with respect to moisture with the
exception of portions Of the lake region, mid
die Atlantic states and New England, where
too much rain fell. The temperature con-
ditons were favorable except over the north
ern portions Of the Missouri and Upper Mis-
sissippi valleys where 1t was too cool during
the latter part of the week, with light frost
in Minnesota and eastern South Dakota, while
some injury was caused by excessive heat
In Kansas and Oklahoma in the early part
Of the week. On the Pacific coast the week
was hot and dry, and while the conditions
were favorable for harvesting, they were det-
rimental to growing crops in Washington and
Oregon.
The corn crop has experienced another very
favorable week, and the general outlook in
the principal corn states continues very prom
ising. In portions of southeastern Missouri
and southern Illinois the crop, however, is
suffering severely from drought, and rain
would prove beneficial in South Dakota and
in few southern counties in Nebraska. Late
corn in Oklahoma and Kansas sustained some
injury from excessive heat in the early part
Of the week.
Wheat.
The threshing of winter wheat is much be-
lated in the lake region and the northern
portion Of the middle Atlantic states. Har'
vesting continues in the North Pacific coast
region with disappointing yields in portions
of Oregon,
Spring wheat harvest is nearing completion
In the southern portion of the spring-Whea
region and is advancing rapidly in the CEN
trail and northern portions. considerable
part of the corn in the Red River valley is
still very green and is ripening unevenly
Oats.
Oats harvest is now practically finished \eN
cept over limited areas in extreme northern
districts, and while a generally heavy crol
has been secured, the quality in many SEQ
tions has been impaired after being in shocl
as result Of injury by rains.

"OUR GLORIOUS ORDER
THE ELKs AT SALT LAKE CITY
Grand Exalted Ruler Pickett De-
livers His Annaul
Address.

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 12.-Elks from
every state, 5000 of them, gathered in
the great Mormon tabernacle this morn
ing to attend the formal opening of the
grand lodge of Elks. o. Powers of Salt
Lake, as master of ceremonies, intro
duced Governor Wells of Utah. who de-
hvered the opening speech of welcome.
preceding the opening meeting was the
civic and military parade. In this were
| included a battalion of infantry and two
batteries of artillery from Fort Douglass
and troop of cavalry and battery A,
light artillery, national guard of Utah.
Then came uniformed members of all
Utah lodges of Elks and dozens of other
civic, military and fraternal organiza-
! t1ons in uniform, accompanied by a score
| OF bands and many picturesque floats. s
After prayer and a selection on the
| great organ, Grand Exalted Ruler Pickett
| of Waterloo, Iowa, delivered his annual
address,, in part, as follows
After preaching the gospel of Elkdom at
! frequent intervals during the year past, it
might seem that the subject would become
| trite one. 1t is said by those who have been
privileged to gaze upon the works Of the
| great masters, that the longer you behold
| them the more you compare them with other
| works Of art, the more beauties unfolded
| to your eyes. The more I study the birth
| and history and principles of Elkdom, the
more compare it with other great civic or
| ganizations, the more I see in it to admire,
! to cherish and to love. Its paramount prin-
ciples are symbolic of our people. Charity
| without ostentation is the great law OF, our
| order. But we believe in a higher charity.
| Charity in speech, in conduct, in friendship,
| in love, in all the relations of man to man.
The portals of Elkdom thrown wide to
| all manly applicants. 1t draws distinc-
| tions. 1t molests no temple, desecrates nc
! altar, profanes sanctuary. It robs man
| Of his faith, attacks creed critlczes no
| sect. Its religion is humanity. It's creed Ia
! friendship, its golden rule the love of fellow
| men, which embraces and includes within
itself the best, the noblest, the truest i'm
! pulses of the human heart.
| This afternoon the actual work Of the
grand lodge of Elks began. The fight for
the next meeting place seems to have
narrowed down to Baltimore and Sara
toga with Baltimore apparently in the
lead. The slate appears to be as fol-
lows:
Grand Exalted Ruler-George P. Cronk OF
Omaha.
Grand secretary-George Reynolds of Sagi-

The pace was set for the republican
party back in the days Of Governor SEQ
field. When he was up for denomination
a large element Of the party asserted the
right to favor another candidate. They
did everything in their power for his
success Time has come around again
to assert preference, and tens of thous-
ands of republicans are found who pre-
fer John Nj. Whitead to Robert M. La
Toilette for governor. Why should they
not be permitted to assert their God
given privilege, SO pointedly established
by precedent? Bitterness should be put
away and everybody be given freedom to
exercise his prerogative Then let the
will of the majority prevail A second
term is given to man only by common
consent; when for any cause that con-
sent is divided it is party right to bring
into the field new leaders. John M.
Whitehead is put forward by all who
think he would make better governor
than the present incumbent. 1t is
neither crime nor disloyalty to prefer
him to man who has been tried and
found wanting. Hudson Star Times.

COMING events cast their shadows be
fore, so it is said, and we believe this is
the case with the Milwaukee caucus vote
on the mayoralty. The La Toilette fac
ton went into the fight with the state
issue for the purpose of demonstrating
that it was powerful and able to clean
out the enemy in his stronghold. Brags
of that kind were common few days
before the contest. The result is known
to everyone. 1t was a clear knockout
that hurts. The result was a victory for
Major Arson by vote of four to one in
battle that was waged for all it was
worth by agents of the governor.
