Tax levy Low as Compared With Others.

The tax levy for Stark county is AZ
mills, against IS 6 in Billings and 1862 in
Morton. In Billings county the school
levy is low in all districts. Medora
leads with "a mills; Beach, d; Sentinel
Butte, Al; Belield, SO. The Dickinson
school levy of 1874 mills is the highest
levy in Stark county. Add So mills for
state, AT mills for county, "a mills as
city and the residents of Dickinson have
a total tax levy of 46 mills. This may
seem high to some people, but if they
will compare the figures with those Of
other cities they will find that it is very
moderate. For example, in Mandan the
total levy is 6I.5 mills, made up as
follows: State, So mills; county, 1862;
school, 20; city, 20.

How John Hay Regarded Critics.

Nine Men Killed and Fifteen'Injured
In Big Explosion.
AT Emporium, Pa, nine men were
killed and from IL to 10 others were
injured by an explosion Of dynamite
Wednesday at the plant Of the EN-.
porlum Powder company. With one
exception all the victims lived In EN-.
porium. Although some OF the In.
jured were seriously hurt all are ex-
peccted to %recoYerer.
About one ton Of dynamite exploded
from some unknown cause, and
wrecked the mixing plant, the pack
ing house and several other buildings
belonging to the company. The ex.
plosion was terrific, and was felt for
miles around. There have been sew
eral serious accidents Of similar nature
in this vicinity and when the people
heard the report they instantly knew
what had happened. Thousands Of
persons hurried to the place, but we're
afraid to venture close to the burning
buildings, IS there were 1000 pounds
Of dynamite packed in boxes in a
stOrehcuse nearby.
After the buildings had burned
and 1T was deemed safe to approach
the company's property q search for
the dead was instituted. Three
charred bodies were found under the
ruins OF the box factory in which they
were employed. The other six men
were blown to pieces.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Suffering Less From Drought
Than Other Crops.

AHan JUICY drops.
The following Is q report Of crop
conditions as complied by Section Di
rector Bauer:
The temperature during the week
ending 8 a. NJ, June 26!h, averaged
four degrees per day above normal.
The extremes were a maximum Of 100
degrees at Florence on the 23sd, and a.
minimum Of GO degrees at Greenville
on the 22nd. There was more than an
average amount Of bright sunshine.
Although there were DO destructive
wind storms, yet there were fresh to
brisk winds each day which, being
hot and dry, had o whitening effect ON
all vegetation, and caused the ground
to dry out very fast.
There were scattered showers on
several days during the middle Of the
week, most numerous In the extreme
westeren and northwestern border
counties, and widely separated In 9TH
er parts. BY far the larger portion Of
the state had no rain. The showers
we're heavy in parts Of Oconee, Barn
we'll and Florence counties and were
generally light elsewhere. There Is
urgent need Of a general rain In all
parts OF the state, though the drought
Is most Sc ere in the central counties,
where the deficiency since the first OF
June amounts to from two to over
three inches, there having occurred
no beneficial rain during this month.
In many places the ground has become
baked and hard and unavoidable.
Farm work made rapid progress dur
ing the week where the soil was fit for
cultivation, and practically all fields
have been rid OF grass and weeds and
are In better condition than at any
time this season.
Cotton Is suffering less from the
drought that other crops, and made a
general Improvement, although the
plants continue small and are growing
slowly. Cotton has now a healthier
color, and Is fruiting normally with a
marked increase in the area from
which blooming is reported. Tie Inn.
provement Is confined to cotton on
heavy soils, while on sandy lands the
crop continues poor and unpromising
and In many places lousy, and the
plants have a slckly appearance and In
a few sections are shedding their low.
