Electoral ColIeae.


The number of electors in the
electoral college this year is 476,
and the lucky man will have to
his credit 239 electoral votes.
Parker's friends claim for him
as absolutely sure 246 votes,
while the friends of Roosevelt
feel certain that he has over 300
votes certain, but experience
has demonstrated the fact that
it is not good plan to count
chickens before they are hatch
ed. ..That there are certain
votes that can be counted now
for both tickets just as we'll as
after the election is true, but
there several states where the
result is doubtful, as follows:
Colorado, Connecticut, Della
ware, Illinois, Indiana, Montana
Nebraska, Nevada, California,
New Jersey, Wisconsin, with a
few others where the election
is dependent largely upan cir
cumstances. Iowa is certain to
cast her vote for Roosevelt
Texas just as certain for Par
ker, but no man can, with GER
talnty, count all the vote now
claimed by either party, intact,
we are only certain of anything
when we get in our throat and
can't get it up or down, then
we are sure we have it. All of
this expressed certainty of the
election of either candidate is
mere guess work, depending on
the action of fifteen million vo-
tiers.

Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending July Is.
Des Moines, Iowa
For the rapid growth of corn
and other belated crops this
has been the best week of the
season. The average tempera-
ture has been about normal,
and except in a limited area
there was no excess of mOis-
ture to retard farm work. The
advancement of the corn crop
has been all that could be de-
sired in fields that are we'll
drained and have been we'll Gull
tivated. Early planted corn has
attained about the normal
height, and tassels are begin
ming to appear. Except in low
and moist lands the crop has
been we'll cleaned and laid by
in good condition. On account
of defective seed the stand is
generally below the average.
Haying is in progress, and re-
ports indicate an extra quality,
though the average yield may
be less than usual. The harvest
of early oats, barley and rye is
progressing favorably. Spring
wheat is filling we'll, and will
soon be ready for the binders.
Generally there has been less
than the usual amount of dam
age to grain crops by lust and
blight. The early potato crop is
quite heavy, and late potatoes
are promising. Apples are do
ing nicely.

KING BORROWED HIS COAT.
Victor Emmanuel Has Nothing Suit
able to Wear at Russia'a CourE.

Victor Emmanuel Has Nothing Suit
able to Wear at Russla's Court.
Although Victor Emmanuel III is the
first monarch Of United Italy to visit
Petersburg, he was well known there
as crown prince. His grandfather, the
other Victor Emmanuel, was equally
well known but through the Russian
royalties coming to Italy. There Is
one characteristic anecdote told of him
not generally known. The king was
very stout, loved his comfort and ease,
and would always prefer to wear a
shooting coat rather than a uniform.
In 1873 the then empress of Russia,
Marie Alexandrovna, visited the eternal
city with her daughter Marie, later the
duchess Of Edinburg, putting up at the
Russian embassy in the Corso, where
they were treated with every courtesy
by the court. One evening Victor
Emmanuel went to the theater, abso-
lutely alone. in negllge jacket. In the
middle Of the first act what was his
horror to see the empress and her
daughter enter an adjacent box. He
could not slip away because they had
seen him, and it seemed equally i'm.
possible to go to them in that costume.
Suddenly the king had an inspiration
and, calling Senator Gadda, project of
Rome, also present, ordered him to take
off his dress coat and give 1t to him.
This the surprised senator did, even
helping the king to put 1t on, but Vic
tor Emmanuel's shoulders were extra
ordinarily broad and no sooner had he
forced himself into the coat than the
seam gave way from neck to waist, and
affairs were as before. The king was
obliged to join the empress and her
daughter in his jacket, hut, never want.
ing in aplomb, he made such good ex.
cuses that the express enjoyed the in
cident thoroughly. A couple of DAYS
later Senator Gadda received a new
dress suit from the royal tailor with a
pin in brilliants pinned to one of the
lapels.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Rheumatism I'm Utah.

Frisco, Utah, May 2nd.-There is A
great deal of rheumatism in this and
neighboring states and this painful dis.
ease has crippled many a strong man
and woman among an otherwise healthy
people.
Recently, however, there has been in.
PRODUCED into Utah a remedy for Rheu.
matism which bids fair to stamp out
this awfully painful complaint. The
name Of this new remedy is Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and it has already
wrought some wonderful cures. Right
here in Frisco there is case Of a Mr..
Grace who had Rheumatism 80 bad in
his feet that he could hardly walk,
He tried many remedies in vain but
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him.
His wife says:-"We both had Kid.
ney Trouble and my husband had the
Rheumatism so bad that he could hard.
ly walk. We used Dodd's Kidney Pills
with much benefit. We have tried
many remedies, but none have done US
80 much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills"
Similar reports come from all over
the state and it would seem as if Rheu'
matism had at last been conquered.

Selecting a Good Layer.

An old country poultryman makes
the following suggestions as a help in
selecting good layers: There are GER
tain individual characteristics, one Of
which Is the shape Of a bird. If q
straight line be drawn from the back
Of the head to the toes. the hen which
is likely to be a good layer will usual
ly have the hinder half of her body
largest, whilst a hen which may be
suspected of being q poor layer will
show more in the front; the reason
being that a poor layer makes bet"
ter table bird, and has larger, longer
breast, whilst a good layer makes a
poor table bird. and has a compare
lively small breast, whilst the egg Or
gans are more fully developed. Birds
which are good layers are usually very
active. They always look healthy, and
in most cases their combs are usually
fully developed, particularly If they
belong to the long-combed varieties,
which are reputed to be the best lay
ers. A hen with a long comb may
usually be regarded as a good layer.
and II she is not there must be some
special reason for the contrary"

receives its supply of cream and but

amounted to one hundred thousand

ceived $4,000 quarts more of milk this
