Looks Like Corn VIII he Short.
State Crop Report, June 9.--In some
localities corn is turning yellow, ow-
ing to the excess of moisture and lack
of sunshine, but as a rule it is still
of good color and making fair prog
ress, though greatly in need of cult
walton, most fields being very foul. In
some of. the central and northern
counties much corr has been washed
out or covered up by the excessive
rains. In some of the northern and
western counties only one-half to
three-fourths of the crop has yet been
planted, and in a few of the south
western counties only about one
fourth of the usual acreage has been
planted. There is also considerable
planting yet to be done in other Sec
tons and an unusual amount of re-
planting will be necessary. 1t is prob
able that in some districts the acreage
will be considerably reduced.

The murder done on the Franklin
avenue bridge Wednesday night is one
of those rare murders that possess
the elements Of fascinating interest.
In the first place, it Is surrounded by
mystery. which is, of course, always
the principal source Of interest in a
crime. In the next place. there is
circumstantial evidence that there was
violent struggle !. before Battalia,
wounded more than a score Of times,
sank down to die. Then, Ntoo, the
weapon was a stiletto. which in Amer
lea, at least, is an uncommon weapon
Next comes that seven-mile trail Of
blood left behind by the murderer.
Last Of all Is the possibility that the
assassination was the work of that
dreadful importation from Italy, the
Malta.
There have been many murders
committed in America thru the agen-
cy Of the Malta, and the people nave
such a horror and hatred Of the in
famous band of assassination that few
mob crimes have been received with
less popular disapprobation than the
wholesale lynching in New Orleans
some years ago Of men supposed to
belong to the Malta. The society
works with such secrecy, such perse-
yerance, determination and relentless
ness that to say a murder had been
done by the Malta is to suggest a long
story Of motive, plot, pursuit and final
execution. The Importation of this
abominable society is the worst fea-
ture of Italian immigration. II the
Battalia murder was its work, there
is all the more reason for work for
and desire for the apprehension OF the
person who was the instrument OF rate
for poor Battalia. The punishment
Of the murderer will be a blow at
the society Of assassination.
