CROP REPORT
INJURY FROM DRoUTH AGAIN
REPORTED

Tho following is the crop report for
the week;
The tempe nature was rather irreg
ular. but averaged about normal for
the week Light to oopious showers
visited nearly all portions Of the
state. In fow localities Of restricted
area. damage was done by severe wind
aud bail storms The rains have
greatly improved the situation, but
more il needed in most sections.
Corn has been permanently injured
by drought in many localities in the
western portion of the state, and
while It will be improved by the rains,
IL cannot make full crop. In the
central and eastern sections II il in
much better condition and generally
promises . good yield.
Tobacco was not 80 extensively in.
jured by drought, but in some To-
oalities 1t also suffered severely. The
present outlook for the crop as a
whole is fairly good. Very few
worms have made their appearance so
far. Cutting has begun in some Of the
carly fields in the bluegrass district
and north central counties.
Pastures have been greatly bene.
fitted by rains and gardens snow
considerable Improvement
Apples continue TO fall badly and
will be a light crop. Pesohes are
somewhat better than expected, but
very irregular, many localities re.
porting none at all.
Hemp cutting is in prog ress and il
appears that the crop as II whole will
be about up 10 the average.
Flowing for wheat Is being done
and farm work is generally we'll up.

ALL BUT ONE MEMBER THERE

The Illinois Central Railroad Hospital
Association held lengthy meeting yes

Possibly the most important matter
settled was in regard to taking care of
the pensioned employees OF the road.
Heretofore when an employee OF the road

en monthly pension in recognition Of
his good service but did not get any

take advantage Of the hospital privileg-
e. have 10 pay monthly fee in proper
ton to the salary he makcs. and the
road did not feel like taking any Of the
lpnsion money from those pcnsioned,
and yet could not offer hospital privi-
lcgc free. The board decided yester-
day To extend all pensioners free hos
piial privileges without a monthly as
-essment.
Much complaint was received from EN-
ployes of the road regarding the bath
room. The association supports a pub.
De bath or rather bath where all rail
ruad men can battle This has not been
kept in good order and committee was
appointed TO formulate rules aud i'm
prove the bath room and it, use.
The board DECIDED 10 take an out

hospital yard. raise it higher and remod-
Il II TO be used in eases Of contagion.
Small poN and such contagious diseas-
rs will bc treated in this house. The
work Of improving il was ordered to be-
gin at once.
All the Improvements We're inspected

completed The painting has been fin
ishcd and the work was well done. The
interior Improvements are complete aud

and cleanest in the state.

other matters of minor importance. cd.

REMARKABLE CLAIM
UNUSUAL INSURANCE CUES
TION DECIDED BY CIRCUIT
JUDGE W. NJ. REEn

Circuit Judge W. NJ. Reed has de-
cided an unusual question regarding
the payment of an insurance policy on
the life Of the late Henry Cough, Of
Marshall county. He held 1000
policy IN the Illinois Life, and had
three privileges in it. one Of which
was the extension of his insurance.
The premium lspsed, il seems, and
when he died was not in force. After
his death an application was male for
the extension under the policy, which
would have made it in force and the
company refused, and also refused to
pay the insurance Judge Reed held
that the application could not be
legally made after the insuted's
death. rs there was then no one to in
sure, and no extension was therefore
possible.
