iar south as Oklahoma and Tennessee,
nut little or no damage resulted except to
tender vegetation in the central valleys
ana to unmatured crops III Wisconsin, the
DaliSas and Montana
Al unusually severe rain and wind
storm caused considerable damage on the
l4th and 18th in portions of New England
ana the middle Atlantic states. Conditions
generally are favorable in California, but
drought was injurious in Oregon and no
rain fell in Washington
Late corn is maturing rapidly in the
western portion of the belt, but the crop
IS ripening slowly in the eastern and CEN

of favorable conditions to be safe from
frost.
Nhiie damaging frosts occurred In por-

Washington Office PROPOSES 10 lis

Washington Office Proposes to Use
This at the W;nnebago Reservation.
Washington, Sept. 23-The method
adopted by the interior department in
paying the Indians of the Yankton
agency in South Dakota for their
leased land annuities and other pay
ments where Indians are benefciaries
in installments instead of outright will
IN all probability be put in practice on
me Nlnnebago reservation in Thurston
county. The stories Of wantonness and
debauchery, which are being circulated
in the east as to the Wnnebagoes, are
attractlng the closest attention from
the indian office. These stories, coupled
with the agitation of prominent citi-
zens OF Homer, Neb., and the other
towns on the border of the Winnebago
reservation, calling upon the depart
n1ent for the suppression Of Bookkeeping
and the sale of liquor to the Indians
which is prohibited by the statute are
creating the liveliest possible interest
at headquarters here.
1t IS understood that a special agent
will shortly be detailed to go to the
Winnebago reservation and put in OBJ
GRAFTON the so-called Yankton agency
system. This is made especially neces-
sary by the complaints of storekeepers
ana other reputable men residing in
the immediate vicinity of the Winnie
bago reservation and transacting bust
ness with those Indians, protesting
against nonpayment of their bills.
While the Indian department is not a
collector in any sense Of the word. Off
Gals recognize something must be done
to protect these Indians against UNI
scrupulous white people and their at
tentlon having been called to the same
through numberless channels, it is con-
hdently thought that the Indian Of
nee will find way to suppress both
Indians and white people engaged in
practices that, according to the testi-
mony, IS putting the Indians back
twenty-five years along the lines of
In this connection it was learned to-
day that there is a movement on foot
to transfer Father Schell of Homer,
Catholic missionary at that place. to
some other place. Just how far this
movement has gone could not be
learned except that one of the officials
OF the interior department stated that
he had been informed that such a
was on foot.

SITUATION A BLANK,
No Decisive News Can Be Received
From Port Arthur


St. Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-The-e is
Iurther delay in the receipt Of decisive
news from the front. The situation at
Fort Arthur remains blank.
Inc movements in the north are still
OF tentative and preparatory charac-
Yer ON both sides, which have not
cfystal.lZed into q definite clash of
forces at any one point A resumption
OF the Japanese advance is expected to
occur any day. 1t is the third week
SINCE the lighting at Lao Yang, and
me japanese have had time to trans
port felnforcements from Yin kow and
pIlilS eD Sufticlent men to the front to
relii'ce their losses, but it is not i'm
probable that several days will inter-
Vene before the armies come to close
quarters. Inc interval is being devoted
on both sides to feeling out the strenst h
ana disposition OF the opposing forces
Inc japanese probably will not at
tempt to capture the passes of the Da
mountain range running half way be-
Tween me Hun and Tairse rivers. The
possession OF these passes, is important
for the japanese, as it will not only en-
aple them to march northward. but
also screen the movements Of their
troops from the prying gaze of the
Russian scouts
1t is fully appreciated here that the
Japanese must try for the possession of
l.
cult Tor them 10 provide the army with
winter quarters. Lao Yang does not
contain sufficient accommodation, al
though many buildings there escaped
destruction in the recent battle. Move
apie nuts are quite unsuitable for the
housing OF the Japanese, owing to the
severity OF the climate. The average
winter temperature there is DO degrees
below zero, and the cold is intensified
by continual wind and almost entire
absence OF snow In spite of this how
ever, the campaign probably will be
continued during the winter If the
Japanese succeed in getting into Muk-
den. In this contingency General Ku-
ropatkin, for various reasons. will not
be likely to allow the Japanese to re-
main in undisturbed possession of this
point, which is important not only from
strategic, but the political point Of
view.

HOODOO STILL WITH 1T,

Curtain Accident and Scare,

Chicago. Sept. 22-The first curtain to be
dropped in the Hyde and Benman music
hall, the renovated Iroquois theater,
caught on scenery last night. 1t was only
"a scenic curtain, but it hung suspended in
the same place that the fatal asbestos
curtain of the Iroquois caught, and the
audience murmured THE Iroquois." That
murmur brought confusion to an already
embarrassed chorus, which danced off the
stage. The curtain was raised, two men
went out to steady it and it descended in
place, but the effect was felt for an hour.
Under otherwise suspicious circum-
stances the new theater was opened. The
seating capacity Of 1,427 was taxed, and
many were turned away. Pronounced the
safest theater in the world, there was no
fear among the audience
