RAINS ARE HELPFUL TO
ILLINOIS VEGETATION

| The Illinois crop bulletin for the
week ending June II is as follows:
The weather has been generally
warm throughout the state during
the past week and excessive rains
have fallen over the greater portion
of the northern and central districts.
These conditions have been favorable
for the growth of vegetation, but con-
siderable damage to growing crops
has resulted from flooding and wash
ing of fields and from high winds.
The greatest damage occurred in the
counties of the north central'portion
of the state. In those parts of the
northern and central districts where
the rains were not so heavy the gen
eral condition of crops is very fine.
Farm work has been delayed very
much during the week over most of
the northern and central districts,
but especially over the northern dis
trict. In parts of the southern dis
rtrict good rains have fallen, especial
IN toward the end of the week, but
over most of the district they have
been insufficient to meet the needs
of vegetation, and in many localities
crops are suffering greatly for rain.
Chinch bugs are becoming plentiful
in this district and are causing con-
siderable damage. Wheat and rye
are generally doing well in the
northern and central districts,
though there has been some damage
by lodging. and more is feared. In
the central district wheat is nearly
ready for harvesting, and in some
II, Il 1,
gun. In the southern district har
vesting is well advanced, with good
yield promised in some localities and
poor yield in others. Considerable
damage has resulted both from
chinch bugs and dry weather The
outlook for the crop of oats is very
promising, though there has been
rank growth over much of the cen
trail and northern districts and
there has already been some damage
by lodging. In the southern district
the crop has improved. Over most
of the state conditions have been
favorable for the growth of corn,
and in the central district the crop
is generally clean. In the northern
district continued showery weather
has prevented cultivation and fields
are getting xA-y weedy. There has
been some daEiage by flooding and
washing. In parts of the southern
district chinch bugs and dry weather
have caused some damage. Broom
corn appears to be doing well.
Meadows and pastures are generally
good, but they need rain badly in
parts of the southern district. Cow
peas are being sown and are coming
up nicely. Potatoes and garden
truck are generally doing we'll, but
potatoes have been injured some
what in the northern district by eX-
cessive rains and i'm the southern
district by dry weather. The fruit
prospects are somewhat less favor
able than last week. Much fruit
was blown off trees by high winds
during the week.

TO BE NEW PACKET
Possible That C. w. CowIes Will
Enter the Clinton
Trade.
HEADQUARTERS TO BE IN THIS CITY
Will Also Garry Passengers to and
From Credit
Island.

The tri-cities are to have another
excursion boat. The c. w. Cowles,
which was built for rafter and
which has during the past two sea-
sons been running as a packet be-
tween Dubuque and Lacrosse, will
come to make Rock Island its head
quarters for the purpose of doing a
general excursion business.
The Cowles will be run by Capt.
Joe Buisson, and part of her work
will consist of carrying passengers
to and from Credit island when the
improvements now in progress there
are completed. The boat was remod-
eled two years ago when she left the
logging business and fitted to handle
500 passengers. She is now on the
ways at Wabasha, Mimi, receiving
still further alterations.
What River Men Believe.
While it is stated that the Cowles
will be devoted to the excursion bus
mess alone, it is believed that this
will not prove sufficiently remunera-
tive to pay returns on the outlay.
Therefore, river men believe that
Capt. Buisson contemplates break
ing in on the Clinton trade, running
to the up-river towns in the morning
and back in the evening, at least
during the week, in opposition to the
Winona. This with the Credit island
business Sundays and excursions ev-
enings ought to give the boat pay
ing patronage.
Monster Tow Boat.
The greatest curiosity in the form
of river craft that has been seen
in local waters in several seasons
passed down late this afternoon. 1t
was the largest tow boat ever built
on the Mississippi river and has just
been completed at the yards of the
Iowa Iron works at Dubuque. 1t is
being taken by the builders to St.
Louis. there to be turned over to the
Monongahela Coal company. for
whom it has been constructed. 1t
is named the Sprague.
The new boat is 315 feet in length,
so long, i'm fact. that it cannot pass
through the Keolluk canal locks with
the wheel in place, and il was I'M
shipped and brought down separate.
The big craft was towed by two
small boats, one at the stern and the
other at the bow. There has been no
effort to make haste on the trip. the
builders preferring to take ample
time rather than to run the risk of
sustaining any damage, which they
would have to bear.
The hull is of steel and the con-
struction is massive in every part.
Tho shaft alone NNpiuhS so tons and
each of the crankS seven tons. The
cost has been something over $780,
900. The work for which the mon
ster is, designed is the heaviest in
the river traffic, that of towing the
big fleets of coal barges from Pitts
burg TO New Orleans.

Harmony In CoIors.


Lee Il. Grabbe, who has charge of
the Ellls' carnival parade Wednesday.
says that it is important that all
who expect to have vehicles in the
parade tell him by letter, personally,
or by telephone at once the kind of
vehicle and the colors in which the
vehicle will be decorated. This is
necessary, for two reasons: To avoid
confusion when the parade is form
ing. and to prevent a clash of colors.
Mr.. Grabbe desires to have the par
ade so arranged that there will be
harmony of colors. Knowing how
each vehicle is to be decorated, he
will assign people numbers in the
parade. and following these numbers
they can take their places without
delay, and there will be no clash of
colors.
Boys are requested to get out their
bicycles for children's day. \ large
parade of boys with their wheels is
desired.

is here no issue that interests the people.
The third Albanian issue is that hetero-
elite hobby. trusts and the tariff as a
means of hurting them:
As regards the trusts. the mos, direc, way Of

tween individual and corporate producers Tint
makes for honest prices and healthy trade The
free listing of trus, monopohzcd goods is propo-
slton that should strike every patriotic consumer
as a measure OF justice and self prescrya alton"
The Constitution makes public the re-
markable discovery that the strong
factor which helped the Democrats in
November was the growing knowledge
of the pee pie that the tariff is the mother
Of trusts. There is no doubt that by
attacking the tariff the Democrats Will
continue to win victories. Such VIC
tories as it won under BRYAN.
" is depressing to see prominent
Southern Journal still under the sway OF
hopeless radicalism and seeking uncon-
sciously the injury of the South. Great
industrial interests have been built up
or are building up there. Mines. rail-
roads, cotton mills, manufacturing plants,
financial institutions are prosperous and
have every right to expect prosperity.
Yet the Constitution and there are plenty
of other Southern Democratic journals
to keep it company-is working for the
injury of Southern business. II wishes
TO disturb business by disturbing the
tariff and to deprive Southern industries
Of the protection under which they thrive.
1t wishes to pursue and punish civilly,
criminally and economically great,
inevitable and fruitful form of business
enterprise. And it expects that Demo-
cratic union and victory may be had by
a policy of division and disaster!
The Southern Democrats have a mat CHI
less opportunity to urge a conservative
Democratic platform that will recon-
mend itself to Eastern Democrats and be
in sympathy with Southern progress,
not in opposition to it. Raising hob
with business seems to be the essential
part of the Constitutions platform.
