HOPS AT n CENTS.
One Thousand BALES Bought for Ex-
port to London.

Hop picking in the yards around
Dallas is rapidly drawing to a close
and tomorrow will probably see the
end Of the picking season in Polk
county. The crop is much lighter
than usual, the shortage ranging from
10 to 40 per cent. Ideal weather has
prevailed during the harvesting sea-
son, and the crop will be saved with
out loss. 1t is believed by conserva-
tive hop men that the Oregon crop
will fall 10000 bales short of the esti-
mate of two weeks ago.
Sundays Oregonian says: "Well-
informed growers place the crop of
the state somewhere between $4,000
and $4,000 bales. Prices have an ad-
vancing tendency and az cents is
quoted as the top of the market. Her.
man Klaber, of Tacoma, bought 1000
bales Of Oregon hops at 26 and 27
cents for shipment to London, Satur-
day. This export demand from brew
ers at the very opening of the season
proves that crops are short in England
and on the Continent.

BASE BALL.

Durrettsville base ball team defeated
the Sharp's boys there last week by a
score OF 20 10 IS. The DurrettsyiDe
boys were handicapped by one of her
best pitchers being sick. The pitching
of Mozingo was the chief feature OF the
game. SPECTATOR.
Although the clouds wrung themselves
out in the early afternoon, the game
scheduled for last Friday at Kilmarnock
between Warsaw and Kilmarnock was
played, and those who braved the storm
witnessed quick, pretty game. 10 the
first two innings neither team seemed
able TO handle the wet ball on muddy
ground with their old time skill, and
each side scored four runs. After the
second inning, however, good pitching
and clean fielding caused the tie to re-
main for several innings, being eventu-
ably broken by Warsaw's scoring one
run, the only one they made in the game
after the first inning. Kilmarnock then
decided that she was entitled 10 another
trip or two around the diamond, and
successfully went around four more
times before the game ended, making a
score of eight 10 FIVE.
Pitcher Connellee handed out the
goods for the losing team, while young
Mitchell, who bested his opposing twlrler
on strike-outs, officiated In that station
for the home team
Barring the pitching, possibly the most
prominent feature in the game was

for a fly he stumbled, but raked in the

died the game alone and the Lancaste r
boys are loud in their praise of his fair

and management came in for share of
praise from Kilmarnock tesm aud the
Lancastrians. While waiting for supper
at the Irvington Beach and talking over
the game Warsaw's players said that
Mitchell, of Irvington, was the best
they had been up against yet" and asked
that he be "trotted out" SO they could
get another good look at him.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Full many flower is born to blush
unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert
air."
This is poetry, but it is not fact.
No flower ever wastes it's fragrance.
The perfume which the flower ex-
hales is the expression of its praise
and gratitude to its Creator; and no
such tribute can be wasted.
No more do we waste our sweetest
and most glorious flowers when we
weave them into garlands and place
them reverently and affectionately
upon the graves Of our dead soldiers
In gray. In this affectionate oere.
monial we do but give expression of
our praise and gratitude to those
who sacrificed their lives for prin-
ciple and for country.
We scatter the roses and we saw
that they are for glory. We give
heliotrope for devotion, honeysuckle
for fidelity, Sweet William for gal.
lantry, violets for modesty and
pansies for remembrance.
Moreover, the flowers, with which
we thng decorate the graves of our
heroes are emblems and promises of
the resurrection. when our noble
dead shall be raised incorruptible
and received into heavenly places

WILLIAMS ACQUITTED.

The long-drawn-out trial of the Com
monwealth VS.. J. Allen Williams. for
murder, came to a close Saturday after.
noon last with verdict of acauittal.
This case grew out of the shooting of
Austin Morris (colored) by ]. Allen Will
liams (colCred) at a meeting of the
colored oystermen's union near White
Stone on the night of January 18th last.
contention arose in the meeting be-
tween Morris and Williams, In which
Morris was shot in the head by Williams.
Williams Immediately fed, and Morris
fingered on in doubtful condition until
the 30th of March, when he died with
abscess of the lung at joins Hopkins
hospital, Baltimore. One Of the points
at the trial was whether this abscess of
lung was due to the wound or was the
independent cause OF death. Much med.
ical testimony was submitted, the prose-
cution having as one Of its witnesses
DIR. Stephen Watts, distinguished
young surgeon of Johns-Hopkins hos
pital. Drs. Hubbard and Treakle, who
attended the patient just after the shoot
ing, were also witnesses in the case.
At the March term of the court, before
Morris died and when his condition
somewhat indicated recovery, Williams
had been indicted for malicious assault,
but the accused remained away from the
reach of officers until after the death
OF Morris, when he came back 10 the
county and surrendered himself to the
authorities for trial. He was indicted
Tor murder at the next term and prompt
iy put on trial. The shooting having
occurred al a meeting of the union when

present, there were many witnesses on
both sides. The testimony was very
conflicting on the point of self defense

Thursday, May 10Th, aud when the eyi.
dence was closed ON both sides Saturday
morning, and 1t was clear that the argu.
ment would keep them over until the
