PEACH CROP LOST.

The peach crop IN Kentucky
hae been damaged to the extent OF
thousands Of dollars, and in many
localities il has been practically
destroyed.
Major Hersey, inspector in the
weather bureau service, stationed
in Louisville, says that many sta
tions in Kentucky have reported
a minimum from twenty to thirty
degrees. In many of the best
peach growing localities the crop
has been practically wiped out.
In some sections, where the tom
peraturL did not go much below
freezing, the crops did not suffer
materially, but these exceptions
are few. On the whole, according
to Major Hersey, the peach crop
has suffered death blow in prac-
lically every part of the state.

GENERAL STORM IN THE WEST.
Farm and Range Prospects in All
Sections Immeasurably Improved.

DcCtiOhS Ainahcooui aUiy lmpiV'Ous
The entire West was swept by a storm
the middle of the week, and where
water is needed for agricultural pur-
poses and on the ranges there is great
rejoicing over the wealth that the snow
and rain have brought.
Locally, there was an Unusual storm
Of wind, thunder and lightning. hail
and rain at midnight Tuesday, which
lasted about an hour, when snow began
to fall. At A o'clock Wednesday morn
ding the wind rose again and it blew so
hard that exposed habitations shook
and swayed, and there was enough
banging and creaking for a couple of
hours to keep the nerves of the timid
jumping. The most remarkable feature
of the storm was the low record made
by the barometer, which touched 80,
the lowest point it has gone to this
Winter. With it all. however. there
was no damage done in Eureka so far
as known.
Wednesday night was one of the
coolest Of the season. but it moderated
toward morning and in the early hours
of Thursday it showed thick and fast.
About A p. m. it began showing again.
continuing off and on for two or three
hours. The total fall in Eureka
amounted to about one foot.
The stage from Ely and Ham ilton was
several hours late Thursday and Friday
mornings. About q foot of snow fell in
that section. The drifts about Hamil-
ton are from ten to fifteen feet high and
the stage had to abandon its regular
route and now goes into Hamilton by
way of the California mill.
The Typo stage came into Eureka
eighteen hours late Friday morning.
The driver reports a general storm
south of Eureka and from twelve to
fifteen inches of snow.
Friday dawned clear and bright with
every indication that the storm is over.
