Rochester, N. Y, July 3O.-The mys-
terry of the booming sounds heard along
the shores of Seneca lake has appar-s
emily been cleared up by William Pros
ser Of Dresden. For century the
Seneca lake guns" have been one of
the mysteries of the section. Reports
like distant cannonading have been
heard at frequent intervals from differ
ent points on the lake. Night after
night residents of the towns have been
awakened by the booming.
Prosser says he was fishing at Long
Point and stopped to light his pipe.
The blazing of the match was followed
instantly by flash and a deafening
roar and Prosser and his boat were
hurled high into the air and among the
trees on the shore, 100 yards distant
Prosser was unable to reach his home
until next day.
Prosser's match ignited one of the

face of the water from subterranean
gas taverns. The lake is believed to
be full of these taverns.

RAIN is NEEDED.
Crops in Many Localities Are Suffering
for Moisture.

Washington, July 3o.-The Weather,
Bureaus weekly summary Of crop con-
ditions follows:
The temperature during the week
ending July 27 in the districts Of the
Rocky Mountains has been favorable
except in New England. where it has
been too cool; but need Of rain is be-
Ing quite generally felt in the central
valleys and southern states.
Destructive local storms occurred in
Minnesota, Missouri, and the northern
portion of the middle Atlantic states.
In California the week was abnor-
mally cool but otherwise favorable.
Over the northern portions of the corn
belt the corn crop has made good pro-
gress, and elsewhere fair advancement
is reported; but it is in general need Of
rain in the central and southern por-
tions of the principal corn states.
While no serious injury has resulted
from the drought, the crop is threat
ened in portions Of Kansas, Oklahoma
and Missouri
Some winter wheat remains to be
harvested in the northern portion Of
the middle Atlantic states and lake re-
gion. While light yields. are generally
Indicated, the crop has been secured
and is being throshed under excep-
tionally favorable conditions.
The condition of spring wheat con-
| tinues unfavorable, especially over the
northern portion of the spring wheat
region. Improvement is noted, how
! ever, in the crop on fall plowed lands
in northern Minnesota, but late sown
is poor and rust is prevalent In south
| ern Minnesota and South Dakota.
| In North Dakota the heads are filling
| fairly well, but a poor crop is indicated
I; and Its condition IN Nebraska is less
! favorable.
Spring wheat is ripening rapidly in
/ the Dakotas. The oat harvest has
progressed rapidly and favorably. In
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas yields are
lighter than expected, but in Iowa re-
suits are more favorable. Rust is re-
ported from Wisconsin, southern Min
nesota, South Dakota and Pennsyl-
/ vania.

WANTS INDEPENDENCE.
Hawaii MemoriaIizes Congress to That
Effect.

Honolulu, July 30.-(By Pacific Ca
ble.)-At yesterdays session OIL the
home rule convention ex-Delegate Will
cox urged that congress be memorial
Iced to grant Hawaii Independence
He also strongly favored the establish
ment Of a government for the islands
similar to that of Cuba. His remarks
were received with much applause.
1t is probable that a petition em-
bodying the views expressed by Will
cox will be prepared for presentation
to congress by Delegate Kalanianole-
Such an appeal would doubtless receive
the signatures of many natives.
The platform adopted by the party
denounces the administrator of Gov
ernor Dole as oligarchial1, the charge
being made that the governor and a Sc
lected clique control the affairs Of the
territory in a selfish and wasteful man
ner; the administration is charged with
being corrupt, and that favoritism is
rampant to such a degree as to be in
tolerable to the people of the islands.
1t has been decided that the time is
not ripe for the presentation to the ma
tional congress Of a memorial praying
for an independent form Of government
similar to that enjoyed by Cuba.

CONDITION IN IOWA.
Ideal Weather Has Prevailed for the
Grain nd Hay Harvest,


Des Moines, Ia, July 3O-In the
larger part of the state ideal weather
conditions prevailed for harvesting hay
and grain, and fine progress has been
made during the week. The greater
part of a very heavy hay crop of fine
quality has been secured and most Of
it without damage by rainfall. In the
southern districts the harvest is practi-
cally completed, and threshing is in
progress. In the northern districts the
work is well advanced, with carrying re-
ports as to the bulk and quality of the
small grain crops.
The corn crop has made substantial
gains in all districts, though in many
localities in the southern and eastern
counties copious showers would be
beneficial, as the more advanced por-
ton has reached the caring stage.
On the afternoon of the Goth series
of very heavy hailstorms swept across
the state on a direct line from Lyon
and Osceola to Taylor and Ringgold
counties, causing great destruction to
crops in their pathway, which in some
portions was six miles in width. This
visitation was the chief drawback in
one of the best weeks of the season.
While the loss falls heavily. upon two
or three thousand farms, yet the ag-
gregate of total destruction involves a
small percentage of the products Of the
state.
The minor crops are doing fairly we'll.
The markets are being well supplied
with early apples and garden truck.

New York, July 3o.-More than a
score Of places in Manhattan island
and Brooklyn, licensed as employment
bureaus, have been ordered to cease
business by Mayors Secretary James
B. Reynolds, because it is known. they
have made a practice of procuring girls
for immoral purposes. Many Of the Of
tenders are men with political backing
A list of the places with the names OF
the proprietors will be sent to the dis
trict attorney.
Detectives have found said
friend of Mr.. Reynolds, that it is as
easy to secure girl for immoral pur-
poses as it is to hire governess or a
domestic servant. There is more money
for the agencies in the disreputable
business than the other. Where they
charge 81 and 50 for the supplying Of
house servant, they have no difficulty
in getting $40 to s10O for the other
class. Many girls of good character
who have gone to these agencies in
search of honest employment have been
diverted into other channels.
Several agencies have employed men
and women to act as recruising SER
geants for their bureaus They And
their victims among the shop girls.

Huron Farm Hand Coos Insane and
Friends Arc Raff7ed.

Huron. S. D., July 29--A man by the
name OF Jens y Goodwin. the hired help
of A. G. McFarling, living about ten
miles from Huron. has been brought
to town, having lost control of his
mental powers. He came to this coun-
try twelve or fifteen years ago, has
lived temperate life and was well
liked by all who knew him. His mind
became deranged about month ago.
but nothing was thought Of it by those
around him until three weeks later,
when he became so wild that McFarl-
ing could not have him around his
home with safety. Saturday, with the
assistance Of two other men, Goodwin
was brought to town, where he was
put in charge of the sheriff He is now
in the county Jail, but will be taken to
the hospital for the insane at Yank-
ton as soon as an attendant arrives,
under whose care he may be placed.
Goodwin is only about 80 years old, is
good worker and was clean in all
his habits. He could not have been
troubled by the heat as Mr.. McFarling
says he has not worked very much un-
der a hot sun. When walking around
the streets he staggered like drunk
en- person and talked incessantly Of
some woman. 1t is thought that this
talking and thinking upon women is
the cause of his mental arrangement.
The proper authorities are now search
ing for relatives from whom they can
obtain any information as to his pust
life.
Sunday morning Beadle county was
visited by very heavy and an ex-
ceedingly beneficial rain storm. A high

THOUGHT HIM A BURGLAR.
Midnight Prowler at Vermillion Is
Are sted.

Vermillion, S. D., July 30.-The first
robbery Of a Vermillion home is yet to
be recorded, but officers of the city to-
Gay thought they had arrested one
who was about to burglarize the Brady
house last night. About midnight a
stranger was seen about the premises
acting as though he were about to
get busy in an attempt to get into one
of the rooms. A telephone call quickly
brought Chief of Police Sullivan, and
the stranger was arrested a short dis
tance from the Brady home.
He gave his name as Robert Jones
and claimed to- be looking for the
home Of a friend, William Vinison, who
formerly resided in North Vermillion.
His home, he said, was at Elk Point,
where his father, Ed Jones, resided.
He had been unsuccessful in finding
Vinisons and was returning to his
room when arrested. Seven years ago
he visited the family here, but in the
meantime two boys and the father
have died, and the other members are
living near Burbank.
The evidence was not conclusive
against Jones { and he was turned
loose. Hereafter, however, he will be
careful how he prowls around in a
strange town after midnight.

RED CROSS AGAIN,
Now 1t Is Proposed to Put Society Un,
der the Government.

der the Government.
New York, July 30.-Deprived of the
governmental Endorsement which once
gave it prestige, and lacking the conf
dence of many philanthropists, the
American Red Cross society is in fair
way to be either reorganiZed under
rigid government supervision or to be
superseded in Importance by a similar
society under the war or the navy de-
partment.
Assistant Secretary Of State Frances
B. Loomis, one Of the American dele
gates to the international Red Cross
conference at Geneva next month, has
already collected extensive data on the
conduct of the Red Cross work by the
great military powers. and his report
when he returns from Switzerland will
be made the basis Of a petition where
by the expelled members of the Red
Cross, including Mrs. Cowles, Presi-
dent Rooseyelt's sister, will try to in
duce congress to enact legislation for
the government control of relief work
in time of war or calamity.
The governments lack of confidence
in the Red Cross society was demon
strated in May, 1902, when President
Roosevelt, instead Of leaving the coll
lection of the relief fund to the Red
Cross, appointed relief committees
himself, with Cornelius N. Bliss at the
head Of the most important one. They
were held accountable for every cent
received and for the unexpended bal-
ance
