Testimony Sensational.

The testimony was at all times inter-
esting. and at times bordering on sen
sational. TO say nothing of its cOntradic-
tory features in the essential point in
volved in the inquiry Both McCuIlagk
and Quigg denied the statements ana
representations attributed to them by
LessIer. ID so far as the matters Of in
timidation and the offer of = bribe were
concerned, and Mr. Quigg went so far
as to say in plain language that Mr
LessIer had absolutely lied. Qujgg also
declared the statement of Doblin that
be had told him there was s. 900 in il
for LessIer and 81. 600 for him (Doblinj
in case LessIer voted for the Holland
boats, was an utter falsehood
Mr. Quigg admitted having talked with
both DobIin and Lessler about the Hol .
land beats. but said that he did so at the
solicitation OF a personal friend-a Dr.
William Kerr. Of Chicago-who was in
terested in the company. but he denied
omphatically that there was any money
consideration mentioned to either If
them. Mr. McCuIIagh also denied the
statements of LessIer in several import
ant respects.

Are the Most Encouraging.

All accounts agree IN reporting
the weather during the past week
as nearly ideal as possible. There
has been sufficient rain without
superabundance. except III few
localities. and there has been a
hot and humid atmosphere, such
as is calculated to make all crops
grow vigorously. AS q result of
these weather conditions. crop re
ports have become decidedly ia
vorable during the past week.
In the cotton belt the crop has
made most satisfactory progress
during the week, Not only is the
plant growing vigorously, but ii
is rcgaining some Of the ground
lost, although it is now even under
the most favorable circumstances
the crop can never be other than
late one, needing a late date for
killing frost and an open winter to
prove a fairly large crop. That
the plant is now making commend
able progress, IS freely admitted,
aud the possibility of "A good yield
is acquiesced in, provided only we
escape an early fall.
Despite the favorable reports as
to the progress of the cotton crop.
there can be no denying that the
crop lisa late on e. Thus, for in
stane, Houston received her first
newc ale only yesterday, which is
FIVE beeks later than a year ago
Pr wcally no new cotton has yet
beactirecelved, not more than
three or four bales having We
reached the ports as compared
with about 800 bales to this date
a year ago.
With respect to the rice crop,
all accounts are Of the most prom
Using character. The river crop
is rapidly maturing. and threshing
operations are about ready to
commence. The crop, as whole.
is several weeks late, but a large
yield is looked for both along the
rivers as well as in southwestern
Louisiana. OF course, nobody is
foolish enough to venture predic-
tons as to the size of the present
rice crop, but it is generally be
lleved that there will be a good
yield and ample demand for it at
satisfactory prices.
1t is in the sugar cane fields
that the greatest Improvement in
recent weeks is shown. While
the canes that failed TO come up
and provide a proper stand can
show no Improvement now, the
other cane is growing luxuriantly,
and under the influence of the hot
weather and ample rain the
ground lost early in the season is
being regained. From the pres
ent outlook a very good crop is
indicated, although that cannot
be known with certainty until
much later in The season.-N. O.

The Thrifty Editor.

Not long ago an Eastern Senator
received a request from a country edi.
tor in a mountainous section for a big
package of seeds. He desired a good.
ly number of packages. which were
forthwith sent TO him. as 1t was sup
posed. for free distribution among the
farmers of his vicinity. The Senator
had been in the habit of sending out
big packages of the seeds furnished
by the Agricultural Department, to
prominent men in different localities
who disposed of them where they
would do good.
Thus the Senator acquired knowl
edge of a new use for the generous
gratuity of the government. 1t wasn't
long thereafter that letter came from

boom the circulation of his paper, by

To sacrifice her dearest wish
Oft for another's need
To find path through darkest ways
Another's steps to lead:
To crush her sorrows to her heart
And smother back her tears
That she might soothe nnother's pain
And smile against her fears.
To toll for those she loves the best
With accomplishing heart:
To ind no deed OF love too hard
This Is the woman's part.
To find her meed in joys that come
When loved ones gain SUCCESS;
To feed her hungry heart upon
A baby's soft caress:
To find world OF bliss or pain
In trihes such as these
A word. a smile. angry frcwn.
Gone like passing breeze.
To live for those who need her help,
Who lean on her brave heart,
Her life a monument OF love
