at Memphis with two larger boats for

shippers to be without boats, and good
boats, well managed and well adver

JEWISH f1lLLIONAIRES
THERE ARE THREE OF THEM

The Jewish World prints an inter

is made that there are 1l2 Israelites in
this country who have amassed for.

In the list Kentucky is credited
with six millionaires, as follows: Pa

1t develops, however, that this list
is incorrect. All the names except
that Of Mr.. Loeb are those of New Or

CROP REPORT.
CONDITIONS PREVAILING LAST
WEEK ARE DETAILED.

The Kentucky crop report just is
sued for the past week is as follows:
The weather was dry; no rain CT
any Importance occurred during tine
week. Temperature was below nor
NAL the first part of the week; hot,
with bright sunshine, the latter part.
In the western and south central
counties the drouth has become Sc
we're and all crops are suffering.
Corn in this section, though damag-
ed in some localities, will recover
and make a good crop if rain falls
quite soon. Gardens, melons and
newly sown grasses and clover have
already received serious damage
pastures are badly burned and short.
Tobacco is generally poor and is suf =
fering severely from drouth.
In the eastern and north central
counties corn Is in excellent condi-
ton; tobacco has improved and some
of it is being topped; pastures, millet,
gardens, melons and potatoes are in
good condition-Irish potatoes are es.
pecially fine.
The weather has been favorable fol
farm work; all crops are well cultivat.
ed and wheat and oats are very nearly
all threshed. Fairly good crops Of
hay and oats saved.
Fruit is generally inferior and
scarce. though grapes are good in some
localities.

RAILROAD MAD
1T rs NOT PLEASED AT GET
TING GOUGED.

1t is reported that there will be no
stops made on the new Cairo division
of the Illinois Central railroad be-
tween Paducah and the terminal, and
the work of locating depots has stop
ped. The reason of this is that the
farmers have exhibited in many in
stances a spirit of such avarice and
unfairness that the company has de-
cided to go by them.
The suits in the courts here, il is
said, will be fought to the last court
by tho railroad company. The com
missioners gave the farmers much
more than their property was reason
ably worth, according to well inform
ed real estate men, and In cases
where the railroad or owners filed ex-
ceptions, the juries, composed almost
invariably of countrymen, gave the
farmer still more than the commits
sioners.
