PROGRESS OF CROPS

Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Alabama
 Section.
,sensral Conditions.

For week ending Monday. May 9th.
 Nearly normal temperatures, with ann pie sunshine, and beneficial showers over northern and western counties on the 7th. made the past week one of the most favorable of the season, both for farm work and crop growth in eastern and southern counties, however droughty conditions continue, and crops are suf- ferfng for moisture. Cotton planting is practically completed, though, owing to generally poor stands, much replanting continues, with seed scarce in some lo- calities: in many fields, the late planted has not germinated, and some that is up is dying, through lack of moisture; much of the early planted has been chopped in southern counties, though this work ts progressing slowly elsewhere; some very forward cotton is being plowed; the rains of the 7th benefited cotton in western and northern counties. Upland corn continues in fairly good condition, though growing slowly; some has re- ceived a second blowing; some lowland corn is up to generally poor stands. and the planting of this crop has been re- tarced by dry weather and hard soil; worms continue to damage corn in some fEeldn. wheat and oats have improved, where ratns were received, but now promise Iess than an average yield. Gar dens and all minor crops are backward, but doing fairly well. Peaches are she'd ding somewhat, but not more than usual at this season. and still promise a good yield in middle and southern counties; apples, pears. and plums also continue promising, though apples and pears are blighting in a few localities.

Arthur Norton, aged about so years
met frightful death while engaged In
marine diving in the lower harbor yes
terday afternoon. In some unaccount-
able manner, the apparatus with which
air is pumped to the diver failed to
properly perform its functions. and
and Norton was suffocated in the div
ing suit which incased him from head
TO foot.
The hapless diver must have suffered
fearful agonies. for when he was hauled
to the surface and the suit removed it
was found his head had swollen to
twice its normal size. rendering the
features unacceptable. and that the
swelling had caused nearly all of the
blood vessels to burst. The corpse
presented sickening spectacle.

ROBBERS RETURN PROPERTY.
Owner Of Mint Saloon Gets StoIer
Watch by Mail.

Watch by Mail.
Baker City, Ore, March 0.--When the
Mint saloon was held up by the lone
highwayman about three weeks ago a
watch which a miner from the hills
had left with the proprietor for safe
keeping was taken.
It was not very valuable, but the
owner made a complaint about II and
demanded the return of his property.
Mr.. Buckley could not comply with the
request because the robber had It, and
he was not to be found. It was hardly
to be expected that Buckley would
pay for the watch because 1t was not
his fault that 1t was stolen.
Today Mr.. Buckley received by reg
istered mail from Silver City, Idaho
watch answering the description Of
the one stolen. The owner has not seen
the watch, SO 1t is not certain that II
is the right one.
If it should prove to be the missing
watch there will be grave question
Of doubt raised in the case Of the state
VS.. Strong, who is now on trial foi
holding up the saloon.
Three men were arrested on sus
picion before Strong was taken into
custody. They were released for want
Of sufficient evidence to convict, and
were given IL hours to leave town
they all went east Some of the Of
fcers thought they were the right men
and the return Of the missing watch
lends color to that suspicion.
