MOST FAVORABLE OF SEASON.
weather Conditions of Last Week
Prove Beneficial to Agrieul-
tural Districts.

Washington, May 27.-The weekly
crop bulletin of the weather bureau is
as follows: Respecting temperature,
the week ending May 25 in tie districts
east of the Rocky mountains was the
most favorable of the season and the
first in which there has been no COM
plant of lack of warmth in some part
of this area. Heavy rains from Okla
homa and Arkansas northward to Min
nesota and the Dakotas have retarded
work in these districts. Drought has
been largely relieved in the Ohio val
ley, lake region and southern portions
of the middle Atlantic states. but con-
tinues with greater severity over the
northern portion of the last named
district and in New England, while
light rains would be beneficial general
~ throughout the gulf states. In the
Rocky mountain and Pacific coast re-
gfons the week has been abnormally
cool, with heavy frosts and consider
able snow in the central and northern
districts.
Good progress has been made with
corn planting in Indiana. Illinois. Mich
fgan and Wisconsin. but to the west
ward wet weather has prevented the
completion of this work, which rs much
delayed, while drought has prevented
termination and planting in the mid
die Atlantic states and New England.
In the southern states the crop has
made favorable progress.

TOWN IS IN TERROR.
Many shets Fired at Jackson Dur
Ing Attack On Jail BY Ken
~ ..es tucky Feudists.

jackson, KY. May 2o.-The frustra-
ton of what the troops believe was
plot to rescue or kill Curtis Jett
and Tom White at. midnight .Wedncs-
day increased the tension in Jackson.
How many men were involved beside
the one fred on, and who returned
the sentry's fire, and what relation
the incident had to the placing Of .
searchlight on the jail grounds from a
nearby mountainside earlier in the
night are questions in which actual
interest is felt. The illness of Judge
Redwine also puts new phase on the
entire situation. II his condition
grows worse a special judge will prob
ably be appointed. The attempt
Thursday to remove the special bail
iff, b. j. Little, Is a matter of much
interest. The grounds offered are
that his brother married Mrs. L. Mar
Gums sister and that the relation
ship might influence him in the dis
charge of the duties of a sheriff.
Mai. Allen, who, in the absence OF
Col. Williams in Lexington, is in COM
mand, gave out the following safe
ment concerning the affair Wednes-
day midnight: just as the storm
broke Theo. j. Harper, the sentry at
the south side of the jail, observed q
man approaching from the Jackson
deposit bank. He gave two commands
TO halt, which were UNDECIDED and
then gave warning that he would fire
unless the man halted. His words
were answered by one or two shots.
The guards disagree as to whether
the prowler fired once or twice, ana
whether he fired at the sentry can,
of course, only be imagined, as he
was not hit. The darkness was in
tense and objects could only be seen
by lightning flashes. Harper and two
other guards returned the fire. The
gatling gun squad remained on duty
all night and momentarily expected
to be called on to repel an attack.
"About so men from the county
were in town Wednesday evening. 1t
is the popular belief that the plan
was to pick off the gatling gun squad
with the aid Of the searchlight and
then rush the guard. The search OF
visitors to the court room Thursday
resulted in the finding of only one
weapon, n large knife. John O'Neal.

TIE Fer.er Superintendent Of Free
Delivery Accused Of Ae-
80 eeptinE Bribes.

Washington, May 2s.-By far the
most sensational development of the
post Office investigation up to this
time occurred Wednesday when .Au-
gustus w. Machen, the general super
intendent of the free delivery service,
was arrested on a warrant issued
upon the information of post Office
inspectors charging him with having
received "rake-offs" from contracts
made with the local firm of Croft
Bros. for patent postal box fss-
tener. The warrant specifically
charges him with receiving $1s,9s1.7s
since August s, 1900. 1t is alleged,
however, at the department that this
amount does not represent all that
Machen obtained with his contracts.
IL being charged that he had prOfited
by them for several years, prior to
the date of the first contract men,
toned in the warrant. Other ar
rests are to follow. Immediately
after Mr.. Machen was taken into
custody the postmaster general is
sued an order removing him from
Office. He had been practically under
suspension for a fortnight pending
investigation into his bureau.

It is feared that the correspond

himself at the recent alarming fire in

failed to grasp the graphic possibili

were limited by both time and space,

have told the story little more aft
err this fashion:
The red glare grew stronger.
Myriads of specks arose like demon

people sank back in sullen despair.
All was lost save few bureaus and
settees. The selectmen of the lit

ground their few remaining teeth. 1t
was the gnash of defeat. Human
strength awaited not in the face OF

At that moment. when hope fell
dead and faith was badly scotched. a
blithe whistle was heard from the

advanced in half-threatening man
ner towards Hestor. Capt. Waters
also stepped forward. Mr.. Morton
and his associates were speechless in
amazement. PUT the boat about at

flashed in anger.
"This is no merry jest or joke"

pale, was cool and collected. 1--WE

night nor for many days to come. I
have determined to ascertain whether
or not the universe will continue to

occasioned, but with your aid these
can be reduced to minimum"
With the exception of Mr.. Kent,

rage. and nervously grasped heavy

he shouted in voice hoarse with
passion. He dropped the decanter in
his excitement and it smashed in

it is an intolerable outrage. If you
are crazy, you should be taken care

paced up and down the dining-room
