CONDITIONS OF CROPS.

Rain have interfered with spring
wheat harvest in the northern portion
of the spring wheat region and have
caused injury to grain in shock in Min
nesota About half the crop remains to
be harvested in North Dakota, where
rust is increasing and smut Is appear
ing,
The weather has been very favorable
for cutting and housing tobacco, a good
crop of which is being secured in Ohio,
the middle Atlantic states and New
England. Further Improvement is re-
ported from Kentucky, where cutting
Is now general.
In the states of the central Mississippi
and Ohio valleys and middle Atlantic
coast the apple outlook is very unprom-
ising, but fine crop is indicated IN New
England, New York, Michigan and Iowa.
A large crop Of potatoes is indicated
In all districts, although prospects have
been somewhat impaired by drought In
southwestern Ohio, and blight and rot
are reported from New York, southern

10000.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. Late re-
turns from the state election Monday
show that while the unopposed demo-
cratic nominees for state officers received
IS per cent. of the total vote, the plural
ity for Gov. Davis (dem.) will be less
than 10000 and may drop to 100000 In
Benton county, the home of United
States Senator J.. H. Berry, the contest
is SO close between Davis and Myers, the
republican nominee for governor, that
the official count may be necessary to de-
termine the result. Gov. Davis has lost
heavily in Franklin, Lafaye lndepend-
ence, Little River and Lawrence coun-
ties. He has gained in eastern Arkansas
and his total vote will not be far short
of the normal democratic strength as
shown in state elections heretofore. The
next legislature will stand: Senate

National Executive Committee Dis
cusses Plans-Not Likely to
- Be Spectacular.

New York, Sept. IA meeting Of
the national executive committee was
held Tuesday attended by all members
attached to the eastern headquarters
There was a general discussion of a
wide variety of subjects such as the
assignment of speakers, the topics
which should be put forward and cam
paign issues which should be made
prominent. 1t seemed to be the gen.
eral opinion that a strong position
should be maintained in the tariff pol.
Icy OF the party and that the record of
the party since it has been in power
should be defended at every point.
Much advice has been received at ma
tional headquarters regarding the
length of the campaign, some advising
that 1t should commence at once, and
others claiming that the last five weeks
will be sufficient for the work. No
definite conclusion was reached on this
point and no decision will be made un-
til Chairman Cortelyou returns from
the west. 1t is altogether probable
that nothing spectacular will be at
tempted during the campaign and no
attempt made to have monster demon
strations and parades such as marked
the campaigns of four and eight years
ago and which meant great meetings
with important orators.

Washington, Sept. THE weather
bureaus weekly summary Of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
In the northern districts from the
upper Missouri valley to the lower lake
region the temperature during the week
ending September was too low for best
results, but favorable temperature pre-
vailed in other districts. Heavy rains
proved detrimental in the Dakotas, Min
nesota and Iowa, and in portions Of the
Carolinas, Florida and Alabama, while
the northern portion of the central
gulf states, Tennessee, the Ohio valley
and much of the middle Atlantic states
and New England need moisture.
AS whole the corn crop has ad-
vanced satisfactorily, especially over
the southwestern portion OF the corn
belt, where early corn is fully matured
and considerable has been cut. In the
north central portion of the corn belt
the crop IS late and will require favor
able weather during the remainder OF
September to mature.

Eph kooken Tries to Drive Across the
Tracks and is Injured.
Eph Kooken an old man residing at
Morrisville, south of the city, met
with an accident at the intersection
Of High avenue and D street, about 8
o'clock Tuesday evening. A street
car collided with his rig. He was
dumped out on the pavement and sus-
tanned an injury to the collar bone
and fracture of the left wrist.
] The man was driving east on the
left side Of the street. He did not
seem to be mindful Of the approach
OF the car and when about thirty to
forty feet west of the street intersec-
ton he turned his horses south and
started across the car tracks. Motor
man Ed McElroy noted that a coils
ion was possible, but he exerted every
effort to avoid it. The car was nearly
stopped when 1T struck the wagon.
It hit the vehicle about in the center
and turned it up on two wheels, but
did not throw 1t over. The old man
was picked up and did not seem to be
much hurt at the time. He was taken
to DIR. Muir and then friends took him
to his nome south of town. He was
quite badly frightened and could
talk but, little as to how the accident
occurred.

those in a position to know that of the

twenty-eight hundred favor eontinu-

barrier to a settlement.
