CONDITION OF THE CROPS
COOL WEATHER OF PAST WEEK
DELAYS GROWTH.
Damaging Frosts Reported In several
states-Corn Planting Makes
Slow Progress.

Washington, April 26.-The weekly
summary of crop conditions issued by
the weather bureau Tuesday is as fol-
lows:
In nearly all districts east Of the
Rocky mountains the week ending
April "a averaged decidedly cool and
was unfavorable for termination and
growth, damaging frosts occurring az
far south as the northern portions Of
the east gulf states on the 18th. Rains
interrupted work in Texas. Arkansas,
northern Mississippi, Oklahoma, Colo
RADIO and northern Indiana, while
drought is becoming serious In CEN
trail and eastern Missouri, and rain
is needed in Montana, the Dakotas and
New England. The absence Of rain
over the southern portion Of the CEN
trail gulf districts has afforded much
needed opportunity for farming opera
lions.
Rather slow progress with corn
planting was made during the week,
excepting in Missouri and Kansas,
where this work advanced satisfactor-
lily. Preparations for planting have
been actively carried on in Nebraska,
Iowa and Illinois, but NO planting has
been done in these states, except IN
southern Illinois.
While the growth Of winter wheat
has not been rapid. owing to the alb
sence Of warmth, the condition Of this
crop continues promising in all dis
tricts.
Spring wheat seeding y nov well
advanced In the northern portion Of
the spring-wheat region and Is prae-
tically finished In the central and
southern portions.
Oats also need warm weather to pro-
mote growth, which has been general
ly slow, but on the whole the outlook
for this crop is favorable. Some dam
age by freezing II reported from South
Dakota and Nebraska.
Cotton planting has been active, xn-
der favorable conditions, over most Of
the cotton belt, but was delayed by
rains in Oklahoma and Indian terri
tories, Arkansas and northern Texaa.
Fruit prospects have been further
lessened during the past week
throughout the Ohio valley, east ERk
states and on the Atlantic coast south
of New England, peaches suffering
most.

Armv Then 5000 Men

Statistics have been discovered at
the state house which tell of the
strength Of Iowa military bodies be-
tween the years Of 1889 and 1S41, when
Territorial Governor Lucas was chief
executive of the state Reports I'M
earthed by Record Clerk Thomas Ste
vens show that in 1s41 the Second reg
iment of the Second brigade of the
Second division had about 745 men.
There were IL regiments In the three
divisions. With these figures as a
basis Mr.. Stevens points out that the
total strength of Iowa's military bodies
at that time must have been at least
5000 if all representations are correct.
There Is great difference between those
times and the present. Now the mil
itary strength of the state is over $780,
900 and the I. N. g. itself adds nearly
three thousand men to this number.
These figures give the state some
prominence as factor in militia or
CARNATIONS of the country.

Hampstead, Tex, April 26.-Congress-
man Pinckney, of Texas, and two others
were killed and two seriously injured
at meeting held here Monday night
for the purpose of calling on the gov
ernor to send troops here to enforce the
local option law.
The dead are: Capt. H. NJ. Brown,
Congressman John M. Pinckney, John
E. Mills, prohibitionist.
Wounded: Roland Browne, r. b.
Tompkins.
Cause Of Trouble.
1t 10 understood that Congressman
Pinckney favored the prohibitionists.
An election was held here April 20. and
the town went dry" Since then there
has been considerable feeling, and Mon
day petition was circulated, calling on
the governor to send a troop of rangers
to enforce the local option law and pre-
serve order. The petition charged that
the local officers were not doing their
duty. A meeting which had been called
during the day was held at night to dis
cuss the petition. R. E. Tompkins. see
rotary to Congressman Pinckney, was
speaking in favor of the petition when
the trouble started. H. NJ. Browne, a
prominent lawyer and anti-prohibition-
list, had been seeking to get the floor
after Congressman Pinckney had re-
piled to his (Browne's) protest against
the resolutions. Finding that he could
not get the attention of the chair,
Browne is reported to have begun using
language considered offensive to sew
eral ladies present, and this precipitated
the shooting. No one seems to know
who fired the first shot, but when the
smoke cleared away, Pinckney and
Browne were dead and Mills was in a
dying condition.
The company of rangers which was
the immediate cause Of the deplorable
tragedy arrived here Tuesday morning,
The town is quiet and no further trouble
is feared.
Brown was lawyer who had been
practicing here for 20 years. Pinckney
had lived here all his life. He had a rec
ord OF having on II different occasions
been candidate for various Offices, and
had never been defeated.
