GOOD ATTRACTION ON THE RIVERS
Is the Howe Moving Picture ExhbI
ton-Entertainment is interest.
ing and Instructive.

Judging from the performance here
last season. the attraction at the opera
house tonight. when Lyman II. Howe S
moving pictures viii be presented
promises to be one OF the most gen.
orally pleasing Entertainments Of the
season. The Howe pictures were seen
here last winter by a 'arge number of
Cairoites and beyond a doubt proved
most interesting, instructive and
pleasing entertainment. The series of
pictures that are presented covers a
large field and range from stirring
city scenes to an elephant hunt in the
tropical jungles.
The pictures are perfect in every
respect and are presented in truth
full manner without the buzzing and
jumping effect that SO often accom-.
panias the picture exhibitions of the
cheaper character. The prices tonight
will be % - and - cents.

THE LARGEST EVER
Government Crop Report Tells or
Wonderful Corn Crop This Year
Over Two Million Bushels.

The latest government crop repol
indicates that the corn crop of 1906
will be the largest ever made It
shows an Improvement Of this crop
during August of 81 per cent, which,
as hured by the New York Produce
| Exchange statistician means an ad-
dition to the crop Of G7,000,000 bushels
with the promise Of a to,al harvest
amounting to 2,7S0 O69, 900 bushels.
This large total Is estimated on the
condition Of the crop as it stood on
September |. eBtween that date and
the harvesting OF the crop there may
be some meteorological conditions
which will affect the final result. EN.
tensve and severe frosts in the north
western and northern portions OF the
corn belt would Of course, reduce
the aggregate yield possibly to an ap-
precabe degree. There were reports
of heavy frosts Tuesday morning in a
portion of the British northwest and
in Yellowstone Park But a. yet there
are no indications of very heavy anG
widespread frosts in the principal corn
states and such frost: are NOT likely
to occur until after the harvest is viz
tually completed
In considering whether he grand
total of the harvest will be realized as
Indicated by the official estimates Of
the condition on September |, t.
should be noted that the subsequent
high temperatures which have eX-
tended over most of the great corn
states have probably hastened the
ripening Of the grain. Altogether,
therefore, the outlook for the harves
seems unprecedentedly good.
