MRS SARAH GREGORY.


A life that has helped and blessed
always seems singularly fitted to spend
long years on this earth because of the
good it does, but l sometimes think
when God takes it to himself it will
make even Heaven more beautiful.
Those related to and those who knew
Mrs Sarah Gregory, who died in North
Vile, Thursday night, feel that she was
one of these. They have met severe
loss. Her influence will be sadly miss
ed. True worth and noble character
make their imprint and surely it must
last even after the spirit has gone to
it's maker. Mrs Gregory has left be-
hind her the influence of a noble char
acter, the memory of patient, loving
and forgiving heart, the indelible re-
membrance of what Christian woman
is. God puts good, pure women into
the world for purpose and there is no
greater, grander accomplishment they
can achieve than to aid in pointing
mankind and womanhood ever upward
and onward. Those who knew Mrs
Gregory found she was one of the peo-
pie whom to know makes one want to
be better, to live purer, nobler lives.
She was respected and loved by all who
came in contact with her and upon
none has the benediction OF her ac-
quaintance rested with deeper effect
than upon the writer. Three children
survive the deceased. They are Mrs
A. G. Brown and Frank W. Gregory
of Danbury, and Dwight W. Gregory
of Worthwhile; one child, Walter, died
in infancy. Six sisters are living, Mrs
Absolom Vincent and Mrs Luther
Barnum of Danbury, Mrs Robert
Coggswell of New Preston, Mrs J. R.
Johnson and Mrs Elmer Emmons OF
New Milford, and Mrs Isaac A. North
rop of GAINESVILLE. Mrs Gregory's
maiden name was Sarah Walker. She
was born in Worthwhile in 1885 and il

MRS CHARLES s. BERKINS.

About a week ago Charles S. Berkins
of Idaho Springs, COL, brought his
wife, Edith ]. Berkins, to the home
of his father, W. L. Berkins, on the
Wellesvllle road, in the hope that a
change of air might benefit her. She
failed rapidly, however, and passed
away on Saturday. Funeral services
were held on Sunday, Rev F. A. John

long journey to Colorado, where the
burial took place. The pail bearers

Des Moines, June 3.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued today as follows:
The average temperature of the past
seven days was from two to four de-
srees below normal, with light rainfall,
except in scattered localities. The
week closed with higher temperature
and showery weather. The conditions
were generally favorable for farm work,
and the dry weather afforded an oppor-
tunity to cultivate the cor fields, which
were becoming very weedy in all sec
tions where the rainfall had been ex-
Cessive. The northwestern counties
copious rains, but the bulk of the
state would be benefited by a week or
two of warm, dry weather, to facilitate
the cultivation of corn and prevent
damage to small grain by growing too
rank. The corn acreage is practically
all planted, and generally n good stand
has been secured, with fair prospectus.
II conditions are favorable, for timely
meadows, potatoes and garden vegeta-
bles are making a fine growth. There
are variable reports as to apples, plums
and cherries, but the average is below
normal.

But for ali the comedians may say.
meat is selling lower than it did six
weeks ago. The demand decreased, the
dealers say, since the prices asceEded

gone down from the highest figures to
which they were lifted.

the same as those of sirloin. Chuck
steak, from 1914 cents has gone to I and

only cut of beef which has kept the price
which the so-called trust attached to
it. The demand for shoulder has beer
most steady, the butchers say, and no
reason for reducing the price was seen.

The State Will Have 100000 Bushels
Less Than Last Year.

q
Kansas City, June 3.-Reports from
Kansas regarding the wheat crop show
marked improvement in conditions in
many sections, and the estimates of the
crop by local grain men now range
from 40, 1000, 900 to so, 000, 900 bushels,
compared with 100, 000, 900 bushels in
1901. The state has received, in the
past two weeks, the heaviest rains
in more tina a year, amounting to 4
inches Official measurement in the
greater part of the state, and more
in many sections. The state report
issued May 81, on the basis of data
collected May p, after good rains had
fallen, but before the heaviest precipi-
tation, suggested a crop of about 45, 000,-
600 bushels. The extent of the damage
resulting from the prolonged spring
drought may be best appreciated by the
fact hat the state report suggests a
crop of but 100000 bushels in twen-
ty counties, containing half of the g.
O0O, 900 acres planted last fall. OF the
5000, 600 acres planted in these twenty
counties, the secretary Of the state
board of agriculture reports 43 per

a large part of the north half of the
big central wheat belt of the state
the plant is so short and so thin on
the ground that weeds are certain to
grow up thickly between now and lar
vest time, and on this account the
area that will not be cut, in all prob
will be greater than reported
by the secretary of the state board of
agriculture. Thousands of acres that

worth harvesting. On much OF this

Cedar Rapids, June 3.-An official of
the c. & N. w. railroad in Chicago is
authority for the statement that the
contract for the new freight depot in
Cedar Rapids has been let. He said
that the structure would be one of the
most p%retentious along the whole line of
the great railway. 1t will be double
width. 400 feet long and two stories
high. 1t will have an Ornamental front
facing on First avenue so that it will

that may grace that n
The depot will be equipped with all
the most modern appliances for the
handling of freight, including at least
two large elevators with which freight
will be taken into the second story.
h official said that the new depot
would be entirely worthy of both the
city and the road and the Dare cost of
the structure, without appliances will
be something like $4,000, which means
the total expenditure will be in the
of $125, 600, not counting
the ground on which it will stand.
