CROP REPORT
SUMMARY ISSUED BY THE
WEATHER BUREAU
IS SOME IMPROVEMENT
In Wheat Conditions in
Ohio.

Washington, d. c., May 24.-The
weather bureaus crop summary, issued
today says: Spring wheat seeding is
practically finished, except in North
Dakota, where it is well advanced, and
the early sown is coming up and STOOL
ing well. In southern Minnesota, Mon
tana and on the North Pacific coast
rain is needed to germinate the late
sown.
Winter wheat has advanced favorably
in Nebraska and Kansas and generally
in Missouri but in portions of the last
named state the outlook is somewhat
less promising. Improvement is re-
ported from Illinois, Michigan and
Ohio, where, however, the condition of
the crop is very poor, in the middle
Atlantic states the crop has made salts
factory progress, and general I'm
provement is noted. On the Pacific
coast winter wheat sustained slight
damage from dry winds in California,
but the crop continues to do well in
Oregon and Washington.
Corn planting has advanced favor
ably, except in portions of the central
Missippi and Ohio valleys, where it has
been prevented by wet soil. In Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas planting is near
ly completed, but in Missouri it is only
about one half finished, and much re-
mains to be planted where this work
has been greatly delayed. In the CEN
trail and gulf states corn is generally
small and backward, but has made good
growth in Texas. Cut worms have
proved very destructive in Kentucky,
Tennessee and portions Of the middle
Atlantic states.
The general outlook for oats in the
principal oat producing states is prom
Using. Seeding is finished, except in the
extreme northern districts and harvest
is in progress in the southern states.
In the east gulf states light yields are
generally reported and in Mississippi
crop below the average is indicated.
Cotton continues backward and has
made slow growth during the past week
throughout the cotton belt, low night
temperatures being generally reported
as detrimental. Improved stands are
reported in portions of the central and
eastern districts, but irregular stands
are the rule. Chopping continues and
the fields are mostly cultivated. Lice
are very extensively reported I'M the
central and eastern districts, and the
boil weevil continues to increase in the
southwestern and central cotton coun-
ties In Texas.

BAKING POWDER
Took Fall Out of State
Senator.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 24.--Jesse L.
jewell, state senator, went to trial
in the criminal court upon a
charge of soliciting q bribs for his vote
and the vote of other senators upon
certain baking powder legislation
pending in the Missouri legislature In
February, 1908. This is Jewell's second
trial upon the charge. He was tried
March 16, when there was hung jury,
seven of the jurors voting for convic-
ton and Ave for acquittal.
1t is charged that Jewell went to
John w. Hess, agent In Kansas City
of an independent baking powder man
ufacturer, and offered for $1,000 to vote
himself and to get the vote of three
other senators for legislation that
would permit any kind of baking pow
der to be made and sold In the state.
Mr.. Hess took the stand and re-
cited his alleged conference with
Senator Jewell. He testified that he
held o conference with Jewell and that
Jewell asked him to communicate with
his concern and see II they were will
ling to pay the $4,000 for the passage
OF the bill. Hess also testified that his
house refused to consider the offer.

ARGUMENT
In a Northern Securities
Case.

Trenton, N. j., May 24.-Argument
in the case of Edward H. Hartman and
Winslow s. Pierce against the Nortn-
ern Securities company and the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
was concluded before Judge Bradford
of the United States circuit court.
w. d. Guthrie of New York took up
the case for the complainants. Gutn-
rie asserted that inasmuch as the
combination was illegal, title to the
Northern Pacific stock had not passed
from Hartman and Pierce. and that
they were entitled to have 1t returned
to them. This stock involves the con-
troll of the Northern Pacific company.
1t was finally decided to submit
amended briefs.

FARMERS CLUBS
To Hold Basket Picnic at
Wooster.

The farmers clubs of Wayne coun-
ty, Ohio, hold an annual basket pic
mic on the grounds Of the Experiment
station at Wooster, during the month
of June, at which time the field work
of the station is illustrated by the
crops growing on hundreds Of plogs
of land, some devoted to comparison
of varieties of cereals and fruits and
others to tests Of different fertilizing
materials.
The different plots are all marked
with descriptive stakes, and bulletin
boards over the farm explain the gen
eral plans of the different expert
ments, while the officers of the sta
tion spend the day with the visitors
explaining the different lines of work
in detail.
The picnic grounds of the station
are about mile and q half from the
railway stations, but there will be pub
lie conveyances at the trains which
will carry visitors to and from the
grounds at reasonable rate. Parties
who expect to attend the picnic would
do well to notify the director of the
station in advance.
FIJI your lunch baskets, have an out
ing, and see your experiment station!

SENATOR QUAY
Better, But in Serious
Condition.

Beaver, Pa, May Ex-senator NJ. s.
Quay, who was brought to his
home here withstood the trip admir-
ably and tonight is better than he has
been for several days. His physician,
DR.. ]. H. Wilson, said that the sena-
tors illness has taken a decided turn
for the better.
He did not leave his room and none
but the family is admitted to see him.
His closest friends fear that this is
his last illness, but they are greatly
encouraged tonight. When brought
here Senator Quay had to be
carried from his carriage into the
house, and this cast a gloom over the
entire state. 1t is almost certain that
he cannot attend the National Republi-
can convention to which he is a dele
gate.

QUlGlEY TALKS.
Claims that Taylor Was His Best
Frlend-The Kind of Gun He
Had

fa0.
When Richard Quigley was taken to
police headquarters by officers Morten-
sen and Roach last night, he raved like
u madman and made threats against
the officers who had placed him under
arrest His ire seemed to be especially
directed at Mortensen A short time
after when Tiney LABEL was brought
in as prisoner, he again became en-
ragged and talked in a violent manner.
Tuesday morning, however he had
cooled off and to an attorney who Wis
tied him in his cell he made a brief
statement. He said that he could easily
prove that the revolver found in the
rear Of the Taylor store was not his, or
the one that Tiney had given him.
The weapon in the hands of the police
was a colts singIe action pistol that
had to be cooked by raising the ham
mer, while the one he had had was a
self-acting gun that was cooked by sim
ply pulling upon the trigger.
HIS BEST FRIEND.
Taylor was my best friend" said
Quigley. He took me in his employ in
spite Of the fact that had been in pris-
on and when people came to him and
told him he should not employ an ex-
convict, he paid no attention to them
and said he would let me work for
him as long as l did my work right
Men in my position have too few
friends to want to rob or shoot them
l can easily clear myself of this
charge"
During the afternoon Attorney
Charles Krichbaum, who has been Sc
cured as an attorney for Quigley, call
ed at headquarters and was closeted
with his client for some time.
Tiney LaBelle is still held, but upon
what grounds has not been ascertained.
She denies that she ever had a rain
coat and is at loss to know why she
has been arrested.
