Foreign Crop Estimates.

The following crop report of the De-

London as late as July LIST. is, in brief.
as fdlows;
In Russia, meteorological conditions
have been in the highest degree favor
able for the development of cereal
crops in most part of European Russia
and harvest prospects are considerably
improved. even in regions where con-
ditions at the beginning of spring were
unfavorable In Germany great i'm

particularly in winter rye, has been
shown the past month. The condition
Of every crop in the middle of June is
officially reported above medium.
though winter wheat, potatoes and lu-
cern were considerably nearer to good
than medium and all the others are
graded about midway between the two
conditions.
Only an approximately good medium

promises well there. In Hungary, un-

harvest, which is hardly expected this

considerably below that of 1902. the
deficiency in the case of wheat being
about fifteen and half per cent,
Most of the Bulgarian crops are re-
ported in very good conditions. Storms
and floods have caused extensive dam

In France the estimated area of win

1902 A marked improvement in wheat
and other crops occurred there during
June. and ;he crops are now doing well.
Generally favorable reports come from
Denmark.
In Great Britain the wheat crop is
everywhere somewhat late and hardly
can come up TO an average yield. Ad

wheat crop harvested there in the
spring of 1909 at 800 .2G1 ,10i bushels.
against yield of 226, 370. $50 bushels in

husband while both of them were
teachers in a school in Kentucky. They
were married at Pittsburg and later

morning by mob of thirty men.
Deputy County Clerk C. Il. Price was
Instantly killed and Deputy Sheriff
George S. Mead was wounded.
Mead and Price. who had been depu-
tized to guard the prisoners. were sit
ting in the sheriff's office. Thinking
that the deputies had gone away, the
lynchers fred fusillade OF shots
through the windows and battered
down the doors. Mead and Price fell
mt the first fire. the bullet that wound
ed Mead passed through Prices heart,
killing him instantly. The mob was
unable to batter down the cell doors, so
they riddled German and Walters with
bullets.
One bullet OF the first volley fired
grazed Mead's shoulder and entered
Prices heart. killing him instantly
Members OF the mob then quickly pro-

Washington. July 17.-It was learned
last night that the State Department

ing that It would neither receive nor

tioners to the attention of Russia, al

RADIUn is SAID
TO CURE CANCER

London, July 20.-The scientific sensa-
tion OF the present is the announcement
that a tenth part of a grain OF radium

surgeon OF Charing Cross hospital, an

The case DR. Davidson cured was
rodent cancer of the nose, after un-
successful treatment by x-rays. The
cancer was exposed to radium, four ex-
posures OF an hour each. given at inter
walls of few days. In three weeks the
diseased part was healing satisfactori-
ly, and in six weeks. with two more ex-
posures, the cancerous growth disap-

Evidence of frauds has accumulated
during the administration of Commis-
sioner Richards and there has been n
general cleaning out OF the depart
ment.
At least two United States senators
are reported to be involved in the dis
closures made, although the officials
of the general land office are reticent
regarding their Identities.
One OF the recent indictments was
returned In Duluth against the firm OF
Swallow & Hopkins, in which son-in-
law OF Senator Clapp of Minnesota 10
alleged to have been involved.
An effort was made at the last ses-
sion OF Congress to repeal tho timber
and mineral act. but 1t failed. owing to
the opposition OF coteries of members
on both sides OF Congress-. who osten-
sibly based their opposition on tho
ground that IL would deprive the gov
ernment of valuable sources of rev.
enue with which to promote irriga-
ton, as the proceeds from public land
sales are devoted TO that purpose.
Under the timber and mineral land
act of 1878 valuable lands bearing fine
timber and minerals are sold for $3.50
an acre and each applicant is permit
ted to buy 160 acres, with the right to
sell. Owing to the rapid rise OF land
values in the West. and the develop
ment OF timber and mineral lands, the
values of these government lands have
increased greatly. so that spectators
and firms who have violated the law
by colonizing lands and substituting
straw applicants" have made profits
of from $40 to $500 an acre,

unchanged and coma continues, all
about the vatican is quiet except the

cherry crop is considerably larger than

bulk OF the low-priced fruit has al

will be about the same as last'year and

will be seen that practically no damage
was done to fruit in this section by the
late frosts OF last spring. Summer ap-
pies were slightly damaged by the
frosts, but there is every prospect OF
full yield of winter apples.
