prospects to repeal. "a meeting is to be
held this evening at which the retail
liquor dealers will probably take some
action.

The Showing is Not so Good as
Desired.
Tobacco ls Doing Fairly Well But the
Dat Yield Will Be Rather
Short.
GOOD RAIN IN THIS SECTION

The weekly crop report is as follows:
Very hot weather prevailed until
Saturday Afternoon, when it turned
quite cool. Light showers occurred in
some localities during the week, and
were quite general on the 18th and
18th. More rain is needed nearly ev-
erywhere, and in some localities crops
are suffering severely for lack Of mois-
ture.
Wheat is more than half threshed,
and the former estimates of light
yield are verified.
Corn has made very rapid growth
and shows considerable improvement.
Tobacco is doing very we'll; some is
being topped. Oats are being harvest
ed the yield will be short, though
winter oats are generally good. Hay
cutting has progressed we'll. In the
western portion of the state the crop
is good, but it is generally light else
where. Glover has yielded fairly we'll.
Pastures are in fair condition, bu.
need more rain. Irish potatoes are
very good. Gardens are in need Of
rain. Apples have been affected by
the hot weather. and are dropping
badly in some localities. There IL an
immense crop Of blackberries. Hemp
is doing fairlv we'll, but needs more
rain. Farm work is we'll up.
Reports from all sections OF the win
ter wheat belt indicate that the winter
crop in the Ohio Valley, and particu-
larry in Kentucky is way below the
average. The crop, it is estimated,
will be just about half of what IL was
last year. While the yield is very
light the quality is not as good, ON
the average, IS in former years. Al
though some Of the grain is just an
good as ever, it is generally mixed
with grain of poor quality, and the
consequence is that much grain that
has been shipped has been rejected.
One grain inspector for large con-
Germ speaking of the prospects for the
crop, said that the average yield of
wheat throughout the winter wheat
belt will be between ter and fifteen
bushels to the acre. whereas the for
mer average yield was about twenty
five bushels. Much of the grain il
shriveled and thin. This is due to
numerous causes, among which are
mentioned the cold weather this
spring, the extreme wet weather and
the lateness of the planting last fall.
The receipts are small, being about
one.third Of what they were last year.
There has been considerable rain in
this section today, the first coming
about q. m. The rain in Arcadia
was perhaps the heaviest. DR.. j. G.
Brooks was in that section making .
call when the rain came up, and says
|, it was the hardest he had ever seen.
The rain poured down in torrents
nearly egualling a waterspout and the
water rushed off the hills and into the
road with fearful velocity washing
trash, duet and mud in every direc-
tion. As the city was neared the rain
grew lighter and in some portions very
little fell.

Transfer Boat Osborne Will
Probably Not Run Here Again
She is to be Thoroughly Repaired and
q New Boat May be
Brought Here.
Their RAILROAD

1t is probable the Illinois Central
transfer boat Osborne will never run
in the Paducah and Brookport service
again. When the Cairo bran CHI of the
Illinois Central is completed, q great
deal of the heavy traffic which now
comes across the river will be run
over the new road and will cross the
river on the Cairo bridge. This will
relieve the road of the necessity of
having such q large boat as the Os-
borne in this trade, and already the
company is negotiating for another
and smaller boat.
The Osborne, it will doubtless be
recalled, was condemned by the in
spectors some time ago and has since
been LAID up, the company transferring
its business here on a barge lowed by
the Voolfolk. Bids have been asked
by the Illinois Central for thoroughly
overhauling and repairing the Osborne
and they will he opened shortly and
the contract awarded. The cost will
be somewhere between $26, 900 ana
100000, and the probability is the
work will be done here. As it will
require three months and by that time
. smaller boat will probably be in use
between Brookport and Paducah, the
likelihood is that the Osborne will
when completed be sent to the lower
Mississippi.
The railroad editor of an exchange
tells this one: There had been q wreck

GERS were killed, and, as the fremen

sger started to look for man to run
the less disabled engine of the two

every man he met he put the question,
loan you run an engine?'
Finally he was rewarded with an
affirmative answer, and he said to the
man: 1--WE want to take my private
car with us, so you can couple ON to
it at once"
The man threw the lever down in
the corner" and pulled back the throt-
tie, but when he approached the pri-
vate car he did not slacken his speed.

TENDENCY OF THE TIMBs.

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being giv- en to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneu- monia, one of the most dangerous dis eases that medical men have to. con lend with, can be prevented by the use pf Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from cold pr from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this rem edy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit conf dence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until 1t Is suddenly dis covered that there is fever and diffi- cuIty in breathing and pains in the chest. then it Is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Ba on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold Is contracted It always res. For sale by all druggists,

 hood Measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-The house yesterday by a majority of two to one rejected the conference report on the visions for the retirement of civil war officers at an advanced grade and per mitting officers to deposit money with the government at per cent interest. The house emphatically voted against both propositions and sent the bill back to conference. The proceedings on the conference report were enlivened by a sharp personal clash between MT. Hull Qa.} and MT. Slayden (Tex). The re- mainder of the day was devoted to the naval bill. Slow progress was made, only twenty pages being covered
 There was lively debate in the senate over Senator Quay's resolution declar- ing it to be the sense of the senate that there should be vote on the state hood bill before the adjournment of congress. To this proposition Senator McComas reoffered Senator Platt's clo- ture resolution, introduced two years ago, and a motion was made to refer the whole proposition to the committee on rules. This was pending when the senate went into executive session. The discussion of the subject brought out the fact that the senate was strong ly opposed to cloture in any form. The debate was very general, dozen sena- tors expressing their opinions on the subject. An executive session of three and half hours followed, and then the senate adjourned.
 Senator Mason from the committee on postof1ces and post roads reported the postoff1ce appropriation bill. Tn ad- dition to the amendment providing for the admission of Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico as states the bill makes changes relating to the conduct of the postoffioe department. The state hood amendment is somewhat. different from the statehood bill, as Arizona is the first of the territories mentioned in the amendment, whereas it is the last mentioned in the bill. The transposi- ton was made in order to give Arizona the benefit of the first vote in case of a division of the question.
