Must Keep Within Limit.

Jefferson City, June The city Of
Columbia lost Its suit against the
state auditor in the supreme court.
1t was q mandamus proceeding
brought by Columbia to compel the
auditor to register $4,000 of sewer
bonds. The auditor refused to reg.
lister the bonds on the ground that
Columbia had reached the limit al
lowed by the constitution before
these bonds we're voted.
This is a ruling Of great impor-
tanse to all cities Of the third class
In the state. Under this opinion they
cannot increase their indebtedness in
excess Of 5 per cent Of the assessed
valuation Of the city. Columbia had
assumed that this restriction wasex.

He was clothed in his long roobashka,
or smock reaching from neck to mid

low the knee into his long sapogy. or
Wellingtons. Round the waist ran

either side beneath tia characteristic
attitude-he discussed Russia's woes,

future, and for few moments he
smoothed his beard, coaxing 1t TO q
point, and then, looking up. his pene-
trating eyes glancing at me from be-
meath his shaggy gray eyebrows, he
said: There are two futures-the i'm

Weather-crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, July 2, 1906
With average temperature slightly
above the normal, and frequent show
ers, the weather conditions during the
past week were all that could be de-
sired for the growth of vegetation.
The heaviest rainfall occurred in Lyon
county where the amount reported
was $50 inches. At numerous other
stations the amounts reported ranged
from 2 to 3 inches. In few localities
there was some damage caused by
wind and hail. Generally there is am
pie moisture for present needs, and
the soil is in good condition for field
work and growth of crops. Very good
progress has been made in cultivation
of corn, and large acreage will be
laid by in extra good filth during the
first week in July. The bulk of the
crop is fully up to the normal in
height, color and stand. Haying is in
progress, and the late meadows show
material improvement from the effects
OF recent showers. Oats, spring wheat
and barley are filing we'll. A few re-
ports of damage by rust have come from
northern districts. Pastures are much
improved, and the minor crops are do
ing we'll. Apples and small fruit are
about as previously reported.

they sentenced me to go along with
pa, so l could be handy to hold his
hands when the doctors are pulling
cactus needles out of his hide.
guess pa was willing enough to jump
Kansas in the night, from what he
told us once.
He said when he was a young man
he and a railroad brakeman got bust
ed at Topeka, and they had an order
book printed, and went all over Kan
sas taking orders for Osier willows,
which they warranted to grow so high
in two years they would make fences
for the farms that no animals or
billiards. could get over or through,
and make shade for the houses and
the whole farm. It was the year
when the Osier, willow craze was on
and every farmer on the plains wanted
to transform his prairie into forest.
Pa says the farmers fought with each
other to sign orders, and some paid in
advance, so as to get the willow cut
tings in hurry. Well, pa and the
railroad man canvassed Kansas, and
sold more than forty thousand mill
