CROP CONDITIONS.
Rain and Snow Hurt Some Sections
Others Are Prospering.

Washington, April 29.-The weather bu-
reaus weekly summary of crop condi-
tions is as follows:
Much needed and generally abundant
rains fell over a large part of MissourL
upper Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys,
but drought conditions have continued in
the upper Ohio valley, middle Atlantic
states and over the southeastern Rocky
Mountain slope. Rain is now very gem
orally needed over the greater part OF
the Southern states, more particularly in
the eastern and western districts, good
showers having fallen over portion OF
the central Gulf states.
a heavy snow storm interfered with
the farm work in Montana, the Dakota.s
and Minnesota during the early part of
the week. and the high and drying winds
of the latter part in the central valleys
and middle Atlantic states Were detri
mental.
The temperature conditions in the
Southern states and in the Northern dis
tricts east of the Mississippi were very
favorable, but the week was too cool for
growth in the Rocky Mountain
and north Pacific coast states.
The cotton states have experienced Z,
very favorable week and cotton planting
has made rapid progress in all sections,
being practically finished in Texas. Much
of the early planted throughout the cot
ton belt is up to good stands and culti-
walton is well advanced.

"Cannot Say Enough. 3"

The expression, ~ cannot say
enough" has fallen from the lips
Of many grateful persons, as it fell
from those of lady residing in
Sangerville, Me-, in the course of q
spring.
But shall never forget how much
significance her manner gave an ex-
preston SO familiar.
Il She was, indeed, grateful.
1t was interesting to hear her tell
now she had been troubled by per-
sistent foe five long years.
When she told me that there had
been punches on her neck SO sore
that she could not bear to have them
touched, however lightly, and that her
throat had also been affected, recog-
nized the persistent foe as an ancient
foe of the race, that sometimes makes
havoc of the whole system, disfguring
the face, wasting the muscles, corrod-
ing the bones, causing eruptions, in
famed eyelids, sore ears, general de-
bility and consumption, commonly
beginning its attack in punches on the
neck, otherwise known as glandular
tumors in a word, that the per-
sistent foe was scrofula.
And it was scrofula, and nothing else.
She tried again and again to rid her
self of it, and her failure to do SO
troubled her exceedingly, for she had
learned that the disease is progressive
it always grows worse and she
feared a surgical operation might be
necessary for the removal of the
punches.
And it might have been submitted
to had not Hoods Sarsaparilla been
recommended to her.
She wisely concluded to see if there
was any virtue in this medicine, if it
would cure her.
1.-The first BOTTLE" she said to me,
relieved all the soreness OF the
punches on my neck, and the second
entirely removed the punches them
selves. Hoods Sarsaparilla radically
and permanently cured me, and when
l praise it, as l do gratefully for my
release for such regard it-I can
not say enough"
Her name is Mrs. Manley 1. Davis,
and she is still residing at Sangervile.
Many medicines are said to eradi-
cate scrofula, but Hoods Sarsaparilla
DOES eradicate it, positively and abso-
lutely. This statement is based on the
thousands of permanent cures this
medicine has wrought. 1t cleanses the
blood of all impurities, inherited or
acquired; cures all cutaneous erup-
tions, catarrh, rheumatism, kidney
complaint, and all low or rundown
conditions OF the system.
Do not fail to take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, for it cannot fail to do you good.

Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath is one of the
counsel fer the defence in the suit of
Mrs. Abbie d. Ramsden of Eastnort
against DIR. James B. Grady of the
same city. which is to be tried at the
present term of the Washington county
court now in session in Calais. The
story of the case is as follows:
Claiming that the death of her hus-
band. Henry F. Ramsdell, at the East
ern Maine General hospital in Ranpor
Dec l, 1900 was due to MALPRACTICE on
the part of DR.. James +. Grady of East
port one of the leading practitioners
of Washington county, Mrs. Abbie d.
RamsSell of Eastport, is bringing suit
against Dr.. Grady i'll the April term of
the supreme court now in session in
Calais. to recover damages in the
amount of $4,000.
MIR. RamSdell, after an illness of a
few days, was brought TO Bangor. Nov.
so, 1900, on the midnight train from

and was taken to the hospital to receive
treatment from DR.. Harry Butler. the
specialist, at the institution. on dis
eases Of the throat.
When he arrived at the hospital the
physicians made diagnosis and an
nounced that the man was critically i'll
with malignant diphtheria. He died a
few hours afterwards. When the de-
cisiOn of the doctors was made known
there was a great activity on the part
Of the local health authorities to find
the hack in which the sick man had
Ia
as the car i'll which he made the trip
TO Bangor.
The vehicles We're finally located. and
We're thoroughly fumigated and effect
i've precautions We're taken to prevent
the spread of the disease.
According to the allegations of the
plaintiff. DR.. James 3. Grady was Mr.
Rarsdells attending physician at
Eastport, and it is on the grounds that
his diagnosis and treatment of the case
were incorrect that Mrs Ramsden
brings this suit.
DR.. Galen M. Woodcock Of the hos
Dital staff. and Il member of the local
and the State boards of health. who re-
municltion, in which the Eastport phy-
sician expressed his opinion that the
Bangor doctors were wrong in their

Ramsdell is represented by Hon.
George A. Currar, Martin and Cox and

W ork on the construction of the new
electric road to Winthrop. The trou-
BILE was satisfactorily adjusted during
the forenoon and the crew went. back
to work after dinner. The difficulty
was occasioned by the nom payment
of the men on Monday as they thought
Ought to have been done. 1t is the
custom on such work to pay off every
two weeks. The first two weeks of
work for this crew ended on Saturday
night. It is also the custom of con-
tractors to take from three to five days
to make up the pay roll and get the
money counted Contractor Smith
planned upon following his usual Gus
tom and would have paid the men to-
day or tomorrow at the latest The
men. however did not understand the
custom and hence they refused to &c
to work Tuesday morning unless they
received their money. Mr.. Smith has
other contracts elsewhere. but he came
here Immediately and Strengthened out
the difficulty in a short time. 1t is
safe to say that there will be no fur
ther misunderstanding.
