T. p. Bone Dead.

Our citizens were shocked Tuesday
morning when telegram was reciv-
ed here for Roy Bone from Harry
announcing the death of their father
at Wichita.
1t seems that deceased had placed
his grip in the Ashland train and
had crossed over again to the depot
and as he again started to the train
he fell either accidently or from
heart failure, stricking his head just
above the eye, on the rail. He was
dead when they picked him up.
Harry had gone to the Carey hotel,
and did not know that his father was
in town until notified that he was ly
ing dead at the depot.
Mr.. Bone was sixty six years old
and was born in Illinois. He leaves
two sons and one daughter.
Deceased has lived here with his
son Harry for quiet while and was
quiet we'll known. He was courteous
at all times and to make his acquaint-
ance was to be his warm friend.
The community will deeply sympa-
thize with the bercaved children.
The remains will be sent to Peters
berg Illinois for burial shland

'BEAUv0IR" IS ABANDONED
Mrs. Davis Bids Farewell to Her
Old Home.


Icompanied by her niece, Mrs. Jos.
X. Davis, returned to New Orleans.
late Saturday night, after a fewa
days, spent partly in Biloxi and
partly In Beauvoir. Mrs. Davis :
trip away was to visit the home
where she passed so many happy
days, and which will probably go to
other hands before many weeks
have passed away. She and Mrs.
JOS. r.. Davis took rooms at the
| Montross Hotel, where the recep-
tion, which almost all Of Biloxi's
population attended, was given
Thursday night. Mrs. Davis and
her niece were joined by Judge Kim
brough of Vicksburg, chancellor of
the Northern District of Mississippi,
lifelong friend Of the Davis fami-
ly. Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, the party of three were driven
along the beach To the old home Of
Jefferson Davis, which stands in
park OF noble trees, and forms one
-of the most picturesque sights upon
the coast.
On her visit to this city, three
years ago, the old home was dis
mantled. Almost everything that
was valuable, sentimentally or i'm
trinsicaily, was shipped away then.
a few relics Of her happy life there
were packed In boxes. The boxes
were undisturbed, and with the as
sistance of Judge Kimbrough and
Mrs. Jos. Davis, their contents were
sorted and disposed Of according TO
Mrs. Davis directions.
The keeper, who has been left in
charge Of the house and grounds,
has been more than faithful to his
duties. The buildings were found in
good condition, and will require on
ly little attention tn be prepared
for occupancy. There are only a
few pieces of furniture in the house.
The furnishings in two of the rooms
were sent to the Richmond Confed-
crate Museum, and those " third
room 10 the old White House in
Montgomery.
1t was a particularly sad visit for
both Mrs. Jefferson Davis and Mrs. |
Jos. Davis. Mrs. Jos. Davis lived
In Reauyoir, with her uncle and
aunt, for seven years, and every lit |
tie nook and corner in the beautiful
old place was familiar To them both. |
In the years to come they may see
it again, but IL will not be theirs any
longer. The Sons of Veterans and
the Daughters of the Confederacy of
Mississippi are earnestly striving
60 purchase 1t for Soldiers Home, |
and It Is very probable that Mrs.
Davi, will let 1t go for that purpose.
Mrs. Davis stood the trip very |
well. The reception which she met
In Biloxi did much 70 cheer her |
spirits, and her departure Saturday
morning will be- one of the happiest !
memories of her life. \ great crowd |
accompanied her carriage to the de- |
pot, and all along the route men I'M
covered their heads, as she drove |

Colonel Groesbeck Does Not Deny
Statements in Recent Interview.
Washington, Aug. 12.-The war de-
partment will not make public the let
ter Of Colonel Groesbeck, Judge advo-
cate, regarding an interview pub
lished with him when he arrived at
San Francisco from the Philippines,
but will refer the matter to Secretary
Root when he returns from abroad.
Colonel Groesbeck does not deny
the statements In the Interview but
says that if he had thought that his
remarks were to be published the ut
terances would have been in a differ
ent form.
1t appears that there was a general
conversation, and although the colonel
knew that newspaper man was pres
ent, he did not take into consideration
the fact that what he might say would
appear in the press His explanation
is considered very straightforward
and calls for no further action by the
department.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS
Nebraska Shows Greatest I'm.
provement in Corn
ALSO LEADS IN WINTER WHEAT

Estimated Average Yield for State is
Twenty-Five Bushels to the Acre.
South Dakota Heads the List In
Spring Crop.
Washington, Aug. lathe monthly
report of the statistician OF the de-
partment of agriculture shows the
condition of corn on Aug. to have
been 86.5, as compared with 87.5 on
July l, and ten year average OF "a.
There has been an Improvement dur
ing the month Of 10 points In Penn
sylvania, z in Indiana and Wisconsin,
in Ohio Illinois and Kansas, 8 ia
Iowa and II in Nebraska. This sub
stantial Improvement In the most i'm
portant corn states would undoubted-
ly have resulted in a marked improve
ment in the average for the entire
country but for the fact that fourteen
southern states show an average
decline during July of 10.7 points.
The statistician estimates the winter
wheat crop at about 3S0,000,000 BUSH
els, or an average of 1873 bushels per
acre. The estimated average yield
per acre in the principal states is as
follows, the states being arranged in
order of acreage: Kansas, 81; Mis-.
souri,. 1872; California, IS; Indiana,
Is; Ohio, Is; Illinois, 1876; Nebraska,
20; Pennsylvania, Is: Oklahoma, 11.6;
Michigan, 17.4. The average condi-
ton of spring wheat on Aug. was
S9.7, as compared with 92.4 last
month. There was decline during
July of 2 points in Minnesota, 8 in
North Dakota, in Nebraska and II
in Iowa. On the other hand the crop
of South Dakota is reported at point
higher than even the high figure "a,
| reported last month, and the condition
in Minnesota, North Dakota and Ne
| braska, notwithstanding the decline
| above mentioned, is still considerably
| above the ten year average. The
average condition of oats was S9.4,
against 92.1 last month.
