NUMBER %
General Summary Of Crops.
FOR WEEK ENDING MON. AUG. 2e

The mean temperature for the week
was considerably above normal, being
extremely hot on oath and %. The pre-
cipitation, while totaling about normal
throughout the State, was generally
recoded on the 25th. Rainfall was
very unevenly distributed oyer the
over the State, being heavy over the
east-central and northeastern counties.
Over the western portion of the state
only light scattered showers were re-
ported.
While there is a general complaint
of shedding in cotton, due to the rains
of the past two or three weeks being
followed by excessively hot weather,
the crop as whole shows some slight
Improvement, especially in the north
ern half OF the State. Worms rust
and blight are still reported, but their
damaging effect is not so noticeable
as last week. Bolls are beginning to
open in potions of the northern section
and preparations to commence picking,
while throughout the middle and south
ern counties bolls are opening rapidly
and picking is general. General opinion
is that the yeald will be liget, as crop
has grown too much to weed and is
comparatively small. The lower bolls
on lowlan cotton are Injured consider
ably by rotting.
Corn is about made, crop shows more
favorable condition in northern than
in southern counties. Hay and fodder
being saved with from fair to good
yeald reported. Pastures fine. All
minor crops doing very well and growing
nicely.

probable, and formed a new organiza-
ton under the name of the American
Stock Growers association, whose aim
it will be to WELD dominant influence
in, the interest of the, cattle grower.
Roughly speaking, the sheep growers,
commission men and the stock Yards
interests remained with the National
Live Stock association and the actual
growers of all other animals for the
market have gone with the new assoc
citation. s The cattlemen having first
strongly, opposed the admission into
their organization of the packers. and
particularly of the railroads, claimed
that these two influences would ulti-
mately dominate the cattle growing in
dustry of the country to the detriment
of the individual grower, and they re-
fused to remain in an. organization
which included their representatives
among the members Of its central body.

St.. Petersburg, Jan. 14-Many tndi-
cations are at hand that the revolution
airy reign of terrorsgo long expected and
anticipated with the deepest fear land
trepidation has begun. Fifty-eightsa
sassinationssin the last two weeks is the
sanguinary record piled up in the cen
trail and southern provinces. Sincethe
fall of Port Arthur this feeling of unrest
and dissatisfaction, with the bureau
cratic form of government has been more
pronounced. The people are clamoring
and have been demanding from timeim
memorial reforms which will give them
greater freedom. From all parts of the
empire come reports of political assas-
sinations, including the taking Of the
lives Of police detectives, tax collectors
and other minor officials. Just what the
result of these incipient uprisings will
be time alone will tell. In many quar-
tiers, as has been stated in these dis
patches on several occasions, it is felt
that one of the greatest and far-reach-
ing results must be the ending Of the
far eastern war; 1t would be impossible
for Russia, with her hands more than
filled with troubles at home, to attempt
to further carry on the war. ny

Niedringhaus Tells Of Brewers, contr;.
button to Campaign Fund
in Missouri.

st. Louis, Jan. 14.-In a long state
ment under oath Thomas K Niedring-
haus, chairman of the state republican
committee and caucus nominee of his
party for United States senator, denied
the charge that he had accepted cam
paign contribution of $21, 900 from st.
Louis brewers to influence legislation.
The statement was made at a special
session of the legislative committee ap-
pointed to investigate. ,.,<* Nh.
Mr.. Niedringhams declared the money
accepted from Adolphus Busch and
Otto Stifel, two brewers, was personal
loan to himself. Had the republican
party failed to carry the state, he said,
he would have been personally RESPONSE
BILE for half the sum named. .s,s .t}il${
The loan was made at a dinner given
by Adolphus Busch to Senator Charles
w. Fairbanks. Mr.. Niedringhaus was
facing personal loss by reason of the
failure Of certain republicans to con-
tribute to the campaign fund. Mr.. Busch
volunteered to guarantee $12,5 to pro-
tect the chairman, provided he and Stifel
each would raise $6,250. His offer was
accepted. This, Mr.. Niedringhaus de-
clares, is the only basis for the charges
made by Representative Grace.
