Nagro C,raaped Live Wire.

Isaac Shisholm. a negro, employed as Iinennan. took hold of a live wire this af- ternoon. and for at least three minutes an electric current estimated to have been 2.30O volts in strength passed through his body. When the wire was cut and the circuit broken. Chisholm fell to the pave ment twenty-five feet below. Tonight ne ia Atill unconscious and he may die.
 The accident 90 Chisholm occurred on tho corner of Selma A0d Broad streets He climbed a pole to repair an electric light wire. which was broken, and when he laid hold of it, the entire current passed through his body. paralyzing him so that he could not descend.
 A fellow employe attempted to go to his rescue, but the pole was so charged with electricity that it was impossible to reach the sufferer. As soon as possible the wire was cut at another post, and the circuit thus broken.
 Three minutes must have elapsed from the time Chisholm caught the wire to the time he fell. Immediately after the breaking of the current Chisholm fell to the pavement. about twenty-five feet be- low, and he may have thus sustained fa- tai injuries. He was at once given medi- cal attention. It was found that his hands had been burned by the wire. He has never regained consciousness and his condition at present precludes the possibility of knowing the extent of his injuries He is reported, however, to be resting easily and he may recover.

Child-Study and sunday-school
 Methods.

Jesus thought 1t not beneath him to study the child. No teacher. ancient or modern, has ever shown q more apprecia- tive or sympathetic interest in childhood. His own genuine boyhood prepared him. for this. He had all the various experI- ences, the hopes and fears of the average youth. So the children can say, "Ws have not an high priest who can not be touched with a feeling for us." Jesus and the child has formed a favorite theme for artist and poet. The incidents are among the most familiar of the Bible. He said, Suffer them to come" He took them in his arms: he set child in the midst; he worked more miracles of mercy on children than on any other class. He granted the Magma Charta of childhood when he said. "Of such is the Kingdom."

Industry Gaining Ground Rapidly
Among Iowa Farmers-Pros-
poets Very Bright.
Tspecial Corresnondence. 4

Especial Correspondence
Farmers and others have gone very
extensively into potato raising this year
in Iowa. The acreage will be something
tremendous, and the prospects for the
crop are excellent, unless the season
should continue wet. The high prices
of last year stimulated this increase, but
1t is likely to be very disappointing to
all except those who have early pota-
toes to sell soon. The crop will be so
large that the price is almost sure to go
to the other extreme, say those who are
best informed on the market conditions.
The light crop in the south has kept the
price Of new potatoes up to about dol
lar bushel, and at retail often much
higher. The early crop in Iowa is large
and Of excellent quality, yielding rich
return to those who were fortunate
enough to have their crop ready Ia time
70 supply the first demand.

GOOD WEATHER FOR CROPS
RAPID GROWTH IN MOST cERE-
AIS rs REPORTED.
Corn Experiences an Exceptionally
Favorable Week-Winter Wheat
Being Harvested.

Washington, July 20.-The following
is the summary of the weather bureau
weekly crop report:
East of the Rocky mountains the tenn
perature during the week ending July
Is was highly favorable, but in the Paci-
fic coast states and over the western
portions of the middle and northern
plateau districts it was unseasonably
cool, with light to heavy frosts on the
18th in Washington and Oregon.
Corn has experienced week Of ex-
ceptionally favorable weather condi-
tons and has made rapid growth gen.
orally in all districts. Very few unfa-
vorable reports respecting this crop are
received. In the Missouri valley and in
portions Of the upper Ohio valley and
middle Atlantic states corn has, how
ever, suffered somewhat from lack Of
cultivation, and in Texas the late plant
is being injured by drought.
Better weather for harvesting winter
wheat prevailed than in the preceding
week, and this work has made generally
satisfactory progress, although still de-
layed by moisture in portions of Kansas
and the Ohio valley Harvesting is prac-
tically completed in Missouri and Me-
braska and is we'll advanced in the Ohio
valley and the northern portion Of the
middle Atlantic states.
AS a whole, both early and late spring
wheat have advanced satisfactorily, the
least favorable reports being received
from northern Minnesota, where the
crop on low lands is thin and late.
Reports of injury to oats by rust con-
tinue from the lower Missouri valley,
but elsewhere this crop has advanced
favorably, harvest being in general
progress in the central valleys and mid
die Atlantic states, with satisfactory
yields.
AS q whole the tobacco crop continues
in promising condition, although back
ward in North Carolina and Virginia.
While better haying weather has pre-
vailed than in the preceding week, re-
ports Of injury from rains continue from
portions of the Ohio valley and middle
Atlantic states. A good crop of hay 10

oerned, it will be held at Rosemount.
Judge Parker intends to remain here
