Washington, June 2.-The weekly |
crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau

The States of the Lower Missouri |

Valley have suffered much from
heavy rains, especially Iowa, the
eastern portions of Kansas and Ne
braska and Western Missouri.
Drought continues in New England.
the northern portion of the Middle
Atlantic States and in Florida, and
rains are needed in portions of the
Central Gulf States and in Southern
Texas. Drought conditions have
been wholly relieved in the Ohio Val

Middle and South Atlantic States
The latter part of the week was un-
seasonably cool in the Lower Mis-

Atlantic and east gulf States. More
Favorable conditions than in the pre-

ers having occurred in Oregon and
Washington.
Il Wet weather has caused further
delay in corn planting in the Mis-
souri, and Upper Mississippi Valleys
while much of this work is unfinished
and the early planted is becoming
weedy. In the eastern portion OF
Kansas and Nebraska and in Iowa
: corn fields have been badly washed

essary. In Iowa the acreage will be
materially reduced. In Illinois plant
ing is practically finished and an ex
cellent stand attained. In the Cen

: ing is also delayed, and early fields
in some portions are suffering fol
> cultivation. In the Southern States

MILLIONS
OF Dollars Lost by Forest Fires In
Pennsylvania. New York and
New England.

While the West ha, been flooded,
and Ohio has had copious rains, East
ern Pennsylvania, New York and
New England have suffered from
drouth, and fierce forest fires have
destroyed millions of dollars worth
of property.
A New York dispatch of Friday,
says:
With slightly less ferocity but still
steadily and increasingly, the great
forest fires are eating away the tim
Der of the Eastern states.
How many lives are lost cannot
be learned. but the property loss will
mount into the millions.
Thousands of acres of ash, pine and
maple have been consumed; richly
stocked game preserves in the Adj
rondacs and Canada have been wiped
out, and hotels and country houses
have been burned. while the flames
are encoaching upon other big es-
tates.
In New England and Canada the
fires have died down somewhat.
In Long Island and in Pennsylvania
and New Jersey they are still blazing
iercely. The area of smoke cover:
20O, 600 square miles.
Reports from every section in north
ern Maine confirm the first report:
Of tremendous loss tn Iumberinp and
other interests from forest fires.
In addition, one town has been de
stroyed, hundreds of buildings have
been burned in all parts of the state
and at least two lives lost.
The fires in the Lake George Re
gion have burned out or are undel

WHEN the Cincinnati Enquirer and
other papers were publishing guess
ing contests, the REPUBLICAN held
that they were lotteries and should
be excluded from the mails. Others
made the same point The promo
ters- of these schemes, in order to
prevent action against them, pub
lished statements saying that a
Judge had decided they were not lot
teries: but they never published the
decision. We were not fooled. We
wouldn't have changed our mind f a
Judge had so decided. But it has de-
veloped, since the investigation of
frauds in the Postoftice Department
has been going on, that this so called
decision was a fraudulent opinion
of one of the Department officers,
that had been given, for a price, and
the man who bribed him and the man
who gave the opinion are under
arrest.

BRA,N-FoOp NONSENSE.

Ano.he ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authorities.
They have dispelled the silly notion that one
kind of food Is needed for brain, another for
muscles and still another for bones. A cor
rect diet will not only nourish a particular
part OF the body. but IL will suit every other
part. Yet, however good your food may be,
its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for their ap-
pearance or prevent their coming by taking
regular doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine OF the heath for millions.
A few doses aid digestion. stimulate the liver
to healthy action. purify the blood. and
makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. You
can get this reliable remedy at Gilbert m
FraIer's.

THE plank in the State platform
endorsing the maintenance of the
Ohio canal system, does not express
the sentiments of the Republicans of
Ohio. The system is rotten to the
core, a relic OF antiquity, that is
maintained only to keep up a cor
rupt gang, and the adoption of the
resolution will bind no man in the
Legislature If only this resolution
were before the people. the Repub-
hcan party would soon be in the last
ditch

A NOVEL POWER WINDMILL.

side of the mill was solid, DETECTING
boards allowing the wind to enter only
on one side The inner wheel consisted
of twelve 2 by u foot upright cups.
These were held open in the wind by
springs, and this was the most sensi-
tive and complete governing device l
ever saw on a mill
This mill in heavy use for fourteen
years cost us nothing for repairs, the
only expense being for oil. The only
objection that could be raised against
this mill was the expense, the lumber
in it costing over $100, but when ] go
through the country and see many of
the larger modern power mills either
wrecked or out of repair and compare
my own experience with new four
teen foot wheel l believe our old power
mill was not at all dear. Unfortunately
we lost the old power mill in a fire
which destroyed our barns in 1898.

The International Live Stock expOsi-
ton OF Chicago will be, as usual, an
epitome of the worlds progress in the
breeding and finishing of live stock.
1t promises to be a greater show this
year than ever, Notwithstanding the
fact that there is not so much enthusi-
asm over the fat stock industry as
when prices were better. But the true
stockman is always an enthusiast. He
never gets tired of his favorites no
matter what the condition of the mar
ket may be. There are not enough of
this kind of people in America, but too
many of the in and out kind, who get
excited when things look rosy and quit
the game at the prospect of discour-
agement. The International with it's
annual shows is doing much to develop
not only the stock, but the stockmen,
of America, to give the industry great
er stability and its followers more con-
stancy. 1t deserves the support of all
stockmen. They are helping them
selves when they help it to become
uccessful.-National Stockman.
