DAMAGE BY FROST STILL
MATTER OF SPECULATION

| The weekly crop bulletin of the de
lpartment of agriculture for Illinois
shows that the weather was warm
iand dry the first part of the week
and considerable progress was made
| in blowing and seeding. y decided
fall in temperature occurred April
| 50. and frost of generally damaging
effect on fruits and tender vegetation
was deposited the morning of May l.
! The average temperature during the
week was below normal, and the
growth of vegetation was retarded.
! The precipitation. below the seasonal
average in amount. occurred the lat
ter part of the week. The fall of
snow was considerable in the north
ern district. As the soil already con
tanned sufficient moisture, the defici-
ency in rainfall was opportune.
Wheat has made little improvement
during the week. The average CON
dition is good, but in many localities
| it has deterioratcd. Some fields are
turning yelloW. and many complaints
are made of chinch bugs. The wealth
er has been too cold for seasonable
growth.
The sowing of oats is still in prog
ress in some localities. but the entire
crop is practically in the ground. The
season has been unfavorable for ger
mination, and the plant is coming up
unevenly and is showing a poor stand
in many localities. In the northern
district considerable resolving was
made necessary. and the acreage
sown Will show a decrease.
Flowing for corn has been actively
prosecuted, and some planting was
done in the central and the southern
districts. Flowing in some localities
was done under difficulty, owing to
the heavy condition of the soil.
The general condition of pastures
and meadows is good, but little
growth has been made during the
week. Some reports indicate injury
to young clover by frost.
General injury was sustained by
fruit from frost on the list. Straw
berries were killed and grapes suffer
ed seriously. The greatest damage
to fruit trees in bloom was in the
central and the northern districts.
In the southern district the bloom
has been affected, but a conservative
estimate cannot yet be made of the
extent of the damage.
Garden operations are still back
ward. 1t has been too cold for ger
mination and plant growth. The
planting of potatoes is well advanced.
Tender plants were nipped by frost
on the list. which will further tend to
delay gardening.

titled and went to Moline this morn
ing to hold the inquest The eXamina-
ton of the witnesses brought out the

state of mind and physical condition.
The hanging evidently took place
some time between ) and o'clock. as
he was seen alive early and the body

Quoted there the first large store-a

cations. He is survived by Il wife and

uate of the Moline high school of the

DAMAGED
Fire Breaks Out at the c., r. |. &
p. Warehouse Early
This Morning.
LOSS Is ESTIMATED AT $1,000
Furniture and Roasted Coffee Fall a
Prey to the Consuming
Flames.

The Rock Island freight house on
Twentieth street between First and
Second avenues was damaged by fire
early this morning, the total loss be-
ing estimated at $1,000, of which $500
is on the building and the remainder on
goods stored there awaiting consign-
ment.
The blaze started in the east end of
the building, the cause not exactly
known, though there was bale of
hemp stored there which it is thought
possibly may have occasioned a spon-
taneous combustion. The alarm was
sent in about a. m, and the depart
ment responded so promptly that the
flames were given no opportunity to
spread.
Goods Damaged.
Considerable of the material is fur
niture, though there was 5000 worth
of roasted coffee damaged consigned
to Henry Darts Sons wholesale gro
Gerry house. The flames were confin-
ed to the inside and were not al
lowed to break out through the roof,
which prevented spread of the
flames, which could have easily caused
damage i'm excess of that which re-
ally occurred.

BLOCK SYSTEM NOW IN
USE ON PEORIA BRANCH

Last Sunday 4e block system went
into effect on the Rock Island q Peo-
ria branch of the Rock Island system
and hereafter all trains will be block
ed through as on the main line. This
change insures greater safety to pas
sengerS, at the same time facilitating
the handling of freight trains.
The operators along the line have had
an adjustment of working time to
meet the demands of the new ar
rangement which makes longer hours
necessary.

years has held the position of auditor

source that the Kansas City short
line of the Milwaukee road is expect

The special through train. Chicago to
Kansas City, will be known as the
Southwest limited and is being built
after the plan of the Pioneer limited.
which was put in the ChicaTo-St. Paul
service, and was claimed to be the
finest train west Of Chicago. All the
improvements that have proven of
value since the Pioneer was built are
to be included in the new train, and it
will be a dandy.
