came Tuesday with binding rain and
snow storm that covered the greater por-

wires became so loaded with ice and
snow that they snapped under the strain

account of grounded wires the local
lighting plant was compelled to close
down Tuesday evening.

many know his wife, though she has
accompanied him in his voyages to many
rat OF the world. Still fewer people are
acquainted with Mrs. Weeds wonderful
parrot, "Ne'l," which is worthy OF note.
"Neil" is a very handsome bird, her
color being beautiful gray with scarlet
tall and scarlet spots on her wings. Her
beauty, however, is the least of her at

also initiates animals to perfection. She

taken 10 hear her remarks, and they can
all be vouched for by many Others.
At one time her cage was wit hin hearing
OF workmen who were hoistipg coal at a
wharf. She caught their shouts, and now
occas 'ouaiiy she will call out: "Get up

the deep bass voice of man. Then she
will say, as fast az she can speak,
"W here's that doef Where's that doe?"
Then she will whistle to call the dog,

When "NeIi" wants to be petted she will

Though she loves her mistress, she Is not

anonymous citizen of New York sent
dollar to the treasury department at

wanted to make restoration. 4 dollar
meant something to Uncle Sam In

Cost of the Boer War.

1t has been generally conceded that
England would eventually conquer
the Boer forces in South Africa, but
when the end come she found the
cost to have reached an enormous
figure. There are many persons who
also spend large sums of money in a
vain search for health. They take
all kind of medicines, which at the
best only give temporary relief. and
the patient is as far from recovery
as at the start. The result is differ
ent with those who use Hostetter' 5
Stomach Bitters for Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, heartburn, constipation, bill
iousness, insomnia or malaria, fever
and ague. 1t positively cures. Hun
dreds of persons have said so, and

sure to try it. Our private stamp is

SHOWERS INSUFFICIENT
TO HARM FARM WORK

Illinois crop bulletin for week end
ing june 80:
Though light showers occurred in
some parts of the state early in the
week, they were generally insufficient
to hinder farm work to any consid-
cradle extent. The weather was not.
however, favorablcg for harvesting
and hay making. During the latter
part of the week heavy rains occur
red over the entire state and farm
work was prevented entirely. Over
the northern and central districts.
where the rainfall had previously
been excessive. these heavy rains have
injured. rather than benefited crops,
but over the southern district where
the weather had generally been too
dry. crops have generally been great
ly benefited by them. In some parts
of the state high winds accompany
ing the rain caused considerable
damage. In some localities the rain
was so heavy as to flood bottom
lands. The weather has been cold
during the week, though il was much
warmer in the extreme southern part
of the state than elsewhere. and
this has retarded the growth of vege-
tation somewhat. Wheat and rye
harvest has been retarded by rain,
though these crops are practically
all in shock in the southern district
and over a considerable portion of
the central district. Threshing has
begun in the southern district and
the yield ranges from very poor to
very good. Many correspondents
state that the yield is better than
was anticipated. Though in few
localities in the central and northern
districts the crop is poor, il is gen
orally reported to be good in those
districts. The wet weather has caus-
cd very rank growth of oats i'm the
northern and central districts, and
in many localities they are already
very badly lodged. Notwithstanding
this. however, the prospects for
good crop continue favorable. In
the southern district the prospects
are less favorable, though there has
been some Improvement. In this dis
trict oats harvest has slready begun.
notwithstanding the cool weather
of the past week, corn has done veTy
well. In some localities, however.
in other localities il is turning vel
low on low ground. 4 great deal of
the crop has been laid by. The heavy
rains in the southern district will
greatly benefit the crop in that sec
ton. Broom corn generally looks
well. The hay crop is generally quite
heavy, though much lighter in the
south than elsewhere. Conditions
have, however, been unfavorable for
hay making, and much clover hay has
been put up in bad condition. Po-
tntoes and garden truck are gener-
ally good, but the heavy rains have
caused potatoes to rot in some To-
calities. The apple crop averages
poor, though in some localities it is
fine. The peach crop
will be very light. Pears and small
fruits range from very poor to very
good crops.
