FORMING A CONSPIRACY.


Thomas A. Hornor, lawyer and Demo-
cratic politician, Is in the city from
Weston, where he has followed his pro-
fession several years. He intimates that
the object OF his visit, in addition to a
little recreation after the adjournment
of court, is to form a conspiracy against
the Republican party. He says the only
way the DEMOCRATS can win is to get the
Republicans to quarreling among them
selves. He was heard to remark that
he was considered a disturbing element
anyway and he, might as well get down
to business along that line. There was
no intimation on his part rs to what he
has accomplished 80 far. but he is quite
busy buttou-hoIins number of people,
and there may be something on.

This incident shows the business in

When one store increases its business
four-fold in one season, and others have
progressed likewise, there is NO doubt
about the advancement and expansion of
the business of the community in which
it is done. and it is safe to say an incl

CROP REPORT.

Following is the weather summary
for the week ending on the 14th inst,
issued by the observation bureau at
Seattle:
The week was cool throughout, with
a mean temperature OF three or more
degrees below the average. On the
mornings of the 9th and 10th it was
almost cool enough for frost. Show.
ers were of almost daily occurrence.
and in some instances they were quite
heavy. Altogether the rainfall was
from one-half an inch to over an inch
in different localities.
The abundance of moisture was very
beneficial to pastures and ranges, and
root crops and cabbage were greatly
improved. 1t is thought that late po-
tatoes will in some CAGES be increased
in size, as result of the moisture.
The ground has, as an effect of the
abundant rainfall. been put in excel
lent condition for blowing and the
seeding of fall wheat. Previous to the
rains but little of such work had been
done, but it will now 60 rapidly for
ward. Late apples will probably be
larger on account of the rainfall.
Harvesting and threshing were in
terrupted by the bad weather, and
completely stopped on the 18th. Good
weather will enable these operations
to be resumed on the 14th, and a few
fine days would see harvesting finished
in all localities. Wheat in the shocks
in the eastern counties, and oats in
the western counties, were quite badly
wet by the storms, and the grain will
be considerably damaged. Fortunate.
ly harvesting was more than three
fourths done.
Considerable hop-picking was done
in the earlier yards. especially of the
Yakima country. 1t was much de-
layed and interrupted, and finally
stopped by the rainy weather. The
rain was injurious to the hops, adding
to the injury already done by mold in
number of yards.
In parts Of the eastern counties high
winds and hail damaged fruit and
standing grain to some extent. Con
siderable late wild hay was spoiled
The wet weather was bad for plums
and prunes. causing them to cracl
and rot on the trees.

THE cruiser Maryland was launched
at Newport News Saturday. There
