AOiAhhsoH driven DIV hunger TO De-
scend After "a Hours Trip.
The first contest in the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition balloon race for $4,000
ended near Wyoming, ILL.,, when Prof.
George G. Tomlinson descended with his
airship after being in the air twenty four
hours. Prof Tomlinson assembled from
the fair grounds in ST. Louis with pro-
visions for two days. but speedily found
that the high altitude had increased his
appetite. He consumed all his provisions
in less than half the time they were ex-
pected to last and with hunger staring
him in the face he decided to abandon
the trip. He discovered also that he
could in no manner control his airship.
PrU Carl Mayer of Frankfort, n. Y,
ToEslinson's competitor in the race, only
got to st. Charles, Mo-, twenty-one miles
northwest of st. Louis, where his balloon
descended a little more than two hours
after the start from the exposition
grounds. The contest. which is to come
the nearest to the Washington monu-
ment, in Washington, u. c., will be con-
tinued until NoY. ].

pect in her history, and it would have
been safe until that time to estimate a
crop of 100000 bales or more. In fact,
the government crop report, showing a
condition of 81 per cent for Texas, would
indicate crop of that size for the State
The largest cotton crop Texas ever rails
ed was that of 1S9S-1S99, when 1850
600 bales were marketed.
A percentage Of 81 in condition would
Show the plant to be nearly perfect as
to growth, vigor and fruitage. That the
government report was correct is accept
ed by all persons well acquainted with
cotton. But one thing the government
report did not take into consideration
was the ravage being wrought by the
boil weevil. For nearly two weeks the
State of Texas has been visited by heavy
rains. The daily precipitation and the
heat have tended to multiply the weevil
to a surprising extent. At the present
rate of progress the weevil is making the
crop may be cut by from 100000 to
100000 bales. Great damage has been
done already and still greater damage
is feared.
1t is because the Boil Weeyl Com
mission knows of no other method of
wiping out the plague than by fire that
the Recommendation will be made to burn
over the cotton fields. As all sorts of oils
and poisons have failed to destroy the
weeyil, the commissioners have come to
the conclusion that the only remedy is
fire. 1t is in October that the weevil
hibernates. Mr.. Johnson's idea is to have
the Legislature decree that upon a GER
tain day in October all the farmers in the
State shall cut down their cotton plants,
pile the stalks in heaps and burn them.
In the general conhagration weevil, eggs,
plant and bolls will be reduced to ashes
There are nearly 100000 acres of
land in Texas planted to cotton. APP
prox imately one-half of this territory is
infested with the weevil. AS it would
require at least one fire to each acre Of
cotton land affected. that would mean

Nun LUX. tional Mercantile agency
reflects distinct I'M
provement in business conditions dur
ing the week under review. At the
west these gains have been specially
noted. and are partly accounted for
by increased orders from retailers,
who were careful not to overstock
with summer goods, and are conse-
quenty in an unusually strong posi-
ton with reference TO securing fall
supplies. Good orders are being re-
| ceived from country merchants. While
dispatches from various centers are
not uniform in expressing trade revi-
val, the tone is more confident than a
week ago and generally suggestive of
hopeful outlook for the future.
This revival is particularly reported
by Chicago wholesalers. The best de
mand is noted in clothing, mems and
women's apparel and shoes. Consump-
ton Of commodities and better orders
for canned goods and groceries are
further indications Of trade revival in
this district.
The South is also active, and is like
ly 10 develop the heaviest fall trade
reported in years
The ST. Paul district. which has
been the center of crop damage ex-
element, is showing up well with
conservative business and normal
trade outlook. In that section. as in
other territory whose prosperity is af-
fected by the wheat yield, the people
are prosperous and not in the least
concerned at the crop killing" scare.
While business is still disturbed In
some sections by the continuance of
labor controversies, this interruption
is not important and is not likely TO
extend to branches not already affect
ed
Although collections are a little
backward in some sections general re-
turns this week are satisfactory ex-
cept in certain instances where local
conditions have developed unusual
barriers. II is noticeable, however.
that localities which short time ago
reported deferred settlements are not
complaining about present conditions,
and reflect a gradual Improvement
The fact that present Indebtedness
represents discriminating purchases
of goods that for the most part have
been readily converted into cash shows
that conditions in general are propi-
tious for quick settlements.
The presidential election is still a
modifying factor in some sections
where trade development has been
held up pending a definite settlement
of the issues involved But 1t is be-
coming generally recognized that the
present contest does not involve ques-
lions of far-reaching Importance to the
business community, and that aside
from the occasional Interruptions due
to the carrying on of a hot campaign
the outlook for September and October
is bright

MAY BURN IT'S COTTON BELT
Texas May Start Bonfires Over Millions
of Acres to Wine Ont Roll WeeyiI


If the present plans OF the Boil Weevil
Commission are carried out, the cotton
area of Texas affected by the boil weevil
amounting to 100000 acres, will be
turned into a vast bonfire, in hope of
thus effectually destroying the pest,
which has cost many hundreds of mill
ions of dollars to Texas. The Boil Wee
vii Commission. the president of which
is jefferson Johnson, formerly commits
sioner of agriculture, will recommend
this radical action to the Legislature
Those who have given most earnest study
to the boil weevil trouble favor the
method as the only safe cure, and see no
hope in the other remedies proposed
not even the Guatemalan ant.
The ravages which the boil weevil is
now committing in the cotton belt are
alarming. Up to two weeks ago Texas
had the most 8attering cotton crop pros

the Michigan Central railroad tracks near
Orion, Mich. Bixby, who was 10 sears

He was with friends when last seen. He
left them shortly after midnight Satur-
day night, pulling out his watch as he
departed and saying that he was going
home. The watch was not found in the
clothing on the body, and this fact, cou-
pied with the finding of a blood-stained
stone in the neighborhood of the tragedy,
furnishes the evidence of foul play upon
which the police are working.
