Death of Mrs. Fannie Bryan.

Mrs. Fannie Bryan. of NJ rsha / Hall
this county, widow of he late James r.
s. Bryan, passed away on April sand, in
the 57th year of her age.
Mrs. Bryan's death was unexpected, the
immediate cause being apoplexy, although
she had been suffering for time from a
complication of diseases.
She was faithful to the vocation God
had given her, nobly fulfilling her duties
as wife and mother. With cheerful devo-
ton and Christian fortitude she reared
her children, sacrificing herself at all
times for their sake. Amidst the many
trials and Affections God had given her
she Was at all times perfectly resigned to
His will.
Six children survive her-Mr. Arthur
Bryan, Mrs. Walton Kirby, of Colorado;
Mr.. James Bryan, of Washington, D. G..
and Misses Eva, Blanche and Susie Bryan.

He's Forecast for May.

From the 1st to the 3rd growing storm
conditions will increase as they advance
eastward across the country, resulting in
wide cloud areas with active storms of
rain, wind and thunder On and touching
the 2nd and 3rd. In the nature of things,
rising barometer, change of winds to west
erly and northerly, and much cooler
weather will follow close on the rear of
these storms, giving many northern to
central sections touches of chill and frost
of May.
On and touching the 9th to 7th look for
decided and rapid change to falling barom-
eter, and quite warm, resulting in sharp
electric storms on the 9th and 7th Moon
crosses the celestial equator on the 9th
and heavy thunder storms will be most
natural on and next to that day. AS
these storms pass eastward across the
country, change to rising barometer and
much cooler will follow from the west,
giving possible frost in northern sections
between 9TH and 10th.
The regular storm period, covering the
10th to 10Th, may be set down as danger
Gus; by this time the focus of the suns
magnetic and electric energy will lie along
parallel lines covering the central states
or sections most subject to violent lorna
die storms. From the 18th to about the
18th storms of rain, hail and thunder,
some of them furious and tornado, will
visit many states in their sweep to the
At'a~tic seaboard. Storms at this and the
remaining days of May are apt to recur
about the same time of day for several
days. A decided change of wind to the
west and cooler, will be followed by frosts
in the northern states. We must not be
understood as saying that tornadoes must
occur at this time, but the astronomic out
look is such as to make such storms de-
cidedly probable. The general aspect of
cloud, sky, wind, currents, temperature
barometer and hydrometer will give time
ly and ample warnings as to whether the
storm centers are coming your way.
The center of NJ ercury periol fills on
the 18th and the reactionary storm period
i central on the 7th and 18th, about these
days storm conditions will reach another
mlxim1m then 10 * out for very much
cooler weather for several days. The
last regular storm period for May reaches
from the 22nd to 29th, this is another per-
iod in which heavy or dangerous storms
are entirely probable the 18th to 2Sth will
be the time of greatest violence and pro-
bable danger, although general daily dis
turbances may continue through the
month.
The m BON is new on the 25th, at great
est declinatioa north on the 9th, and
in perigee on the 2Sth, these facts, add ed
t. their existing causes lead Us to say that
storms of wide aud dangerous proper
tions are very probihle, on and touchi g
the 26th, 9th and 2Sth. Phenomenally
half temperature, high humidity and very
low barometer will prece lie these storms,
serving effectually as premonitions and
warnings.

Condition Of Crops.

TIE Weather B :reau Tuesday issued
the following weekly summary of crop
conditions:
Nearly the whole Of the country east of
the Rocky Mountains experienced un-
seasonably low temperatures during the
week ended April q, and while the rain
fall in the central valleys has been light,
considerable acreage receiving no ap-
preciable amount, farm work has made
very slow progress in consequence of wet
soil and low temperatures. The drought
in Florida and the Central and West
Gulf States, especially in the last-men-
toned sections, has grown more serious,
and over large areas the ground is too
dry for termination Of seed. More favor
able conditions prevailed in the States of
the Upper Missouri Valley, and while alb
sence Of rain in New England and the
northern portion Of the Middle Atlantic
States permitted farm work, the weather
was too cool for growth of vegetation. In
the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific

vorable of the season, alth ough portions
of California need rain.
AS in the previous week. corn planting
has made slow progress, more particular
ly over the central and eastern portions
of the corn belt, and in the Middle At
lantic States, but better progress has been
made in Kansas and Nebraska, and prep
arations for planting have been vigorous
ly carried on in Iowa and portions of H.
linois. In the Southern States, corn has
suffered from low temper atures, and in
the Central and West Gulf districts, from
drought also.
While the condition of winter wheat
continues very promising, slight deteri-
Grafton is indicated over the central and
eastern portions of the wheat belt, as a
result of excessive moisture and low TEN
peratures Rust and insects have appear
ed in some counties in Southern Missou

On the Pacific Coast the outlook contin-
ues favorable, except in Washington,
where much was winter killed
Spring wheat seeding is well advanced
over the northern portion of the spring
wheat region, and under favorable con-
ditions will be practically completed in
the central districts during the coming
week. Satisfactory termination and
good stands are reported from South Da-
kota and Iowa, but cold weather has re-
tarded termination in Minnesota and
Wisconsin. In the Northern Rocky
Mountain districts and on the North Pa
Gift Coast seeding is progressing favora-
bly,.
In the Missouri and Central MISSISSIPPI
valleys oat seeding has been well advanc-
ed, but in the Ohio Valley much seeding
remains to be done. termination Of the

Illinois has been unsatisfactory.

upon the livery man for conveyance

which he would pay him $40 extra,

protested vigorously but finally

since nine p. m. with the exception OF

guarded by a Gordon of infantry and
all the ministerial residences in the

It is announced here that King
Charles OF Roumania, who was hon.
airy colonel of the Sixth regiment Of
Servian infantry, which perpetrated
the massacres at Belgrade, has sew
cred his connection with the regiment,
which, he considers, has given such
horrible proof Of lack Of military
honor.
Powers Want Assassins Punished.
London, June ia special dispatch
from Rome says semi-official note
published there declares that whoever
is made king Of Servia the powers will
exact the punishment of the murder
ers of King Alexander and Queen
Draga, as civilized countries cannot
tolerate that administrative and mill
tary positions in any country should
be occupied by assassination.
Late King Feared Assassination.
Vienna, June 15.-It is now known
that the late King Alexander lived in
a state of terror during the last weeks
Of his life. Nightly soldiers belonging
to the Pioneers division searched the
palace from roof to cellar, peering into
all dark corners for bombs. Each
night the king was securely locked in
his bedchamber by the adjutant, in
the presence of the palace COM
mander.
It is also stated that for several
weeks the late Queen Draga had pre-
pared for fight, independent Of the
king, who is supposed to have been
gradually growing reconciled to the
project of his divorce from Draga ana
his marriage with Princess Xenia, OF
Montenegro. The conspirators are re-
ported to have learned this, and fear
ing the marriage would prove con.
tinuation of the Obrenovitch dynasty
hurriedly commenced the task Of ex
termination.
Lately King Alexander tried vainl,
to become reconciled with exilet
Servians which also increased thu
anxiety of the conspirators.
Queen Draga's sisters were permit
ted to have last look at the body o,
the late queen. They say the corpse
was shrouded in white silk. Ths
youngest of Drnga's sisters was car
ried away unconscious.
In the late kings desk there wal
found, in addition to various interest
ing private papers, about $40, 1000.
The Austrian foreign Office pay
scant attention to the reports tina
Prince Peter may renounce his claim
to the Servian throne in favor of hi
eldest son. The officials here conside
this quite improbable especially as I
would necessitate a regency which un
der the present circumstances woul,
be dangerous.
Paris, June 15.-The Servian lega
tion at Paris has received number o
dispatches from Belgrade. They sa,
no woman, except Queen Draga, wa
assassinated, and declare that it wa
not intended to kill her, but to compe
the royal pair to consent to divorce
When they refused it was propose,
that the king abdicate and depart witt
the queen. He answered by shooting
Col. Naumovics, which brought on
general melee, resulting in variou
deaths. The queens sisters have beel
conducted to the frontier.
