DRY SPOTS ARE ISOLATED.

several counties in illinois, two or
three counties in northern central
Kansas, and one, and possibly two
counties in southern central Nebraska
where too much dry weather has cut
the yield down probably three-fourths
of corn crop, but these are Isolated
localities, while the balance. of the
great corn belt promises a bumper
crop from North Dakota to the gulf

present time of our raising more corn

that the final government estimate
will confirm this prediction"

NEGRO CRIME AND ILLTTERACY.

'HThe negro" said Booker T. W4sh-
ington in an address to the National
Negro Business League, "is commit
ting too much crime, north and
south" The situation that causes the
capable head of Tuskegee so much
concern is not, however, viewed pes
simistically by him. The black man
is making progress; the s20,ooo'OOo
worth Of taxable property owned by
him in Georgia is cited by Mr.. WASH
ington as an illustration of that prog
ress. He calls attention candidly to
the crimes committed by the sub
merged and backward elements of the
colored population in order to drive
home the gospel of work, of con-
structive instead of negative and criti-
cal propaganda, of education and
moral Improvement
'Let US do our part" says Mr.
Washington to his followers, "and
then let us call on the whites to do
their part" Certainly there is plenty
% work in the south demanding the
earnest cooperation of the whites
and blacks. especially in the direction
OF primary education, the first and
essential condition Of industrial and
moral progress.
A paper which the financial secre-
tary of Tuskegee, Robert w. Taylor,
read a few days ago at chautauqua
assembly dealt with the question Of
negro education and cited census data
In proof of the crying need of more
and better schools for the colored
children Of the south.
OF the negro children of the coun-
try between the ages Of and IA, the
census figures show Al per cent, or
$4,000, never see the inside OF a
school house. Florida is proud of
her high percentage Of negro school
children, yet CAS- per cent OF her
colored children are absolutely unpro-
vided for and condemned to illiteracy
In South Carolina, where, as we have
seen, Tillman and his faction have
been opposing compulsory education
through fear Of negro supremacy
6a.5 per cent OF the negro children
are deprived of all schooling. 1r
Louisiana the percentage is 1874.
Moreover, the average length of the
school term for negro children is only
three months. Not much can be
learned in that time. No wonder

WHAT Is DOUBLE ENTRY BOOK

Judge Lindsey, of Denver, is a foe
to the modern business methods that

"If great businesses hereafter are to

A Widows Dream Leads
Her to a Mine

Mrs, Jane Coonen of the Cowyche
Is one of the pluckiest women in the
state of Washington, says the Yakima
Republic. No further proof to estab-
lish the fact is needed than the story
she tells of the hardships she and her
five children experienced recently, in
a successful effort to locate n gold
mine claim. The mine has been fit
tingly named ''The Lucky Widow"
Mrs. Coonen lives about 20 miles
up the Cowyche valley with her five
children. she is widow, and al
though past 40, is as strong and en-
ergetic as most men of her age. AS
rancher she is successful. She
takes care of a ranch which would
probably require the attention of two
or three men. She rides horseback,
plows, pitches hay, milks cows and
does any of the required work around
farm.
OF the five children living with
Mrs. Coonen the oldest is a boy of
but 12 years, and scarcely able to as
sist in the work on the ranch.
1t has often been a hard matter for
the Cowyche widow to keep the wolf
from the door, but she has managed
by practicing the most rigid economy
to get along until now, when 1t would
seem that good fortune smiled upon
her and the little flock, in the discov-
cry of what experts declare to be a
valuable gold mine.
The location of the Lucky Widow"
is about 12 miles from the Gold Hill
mines situated on the south slope of
the mountain. 1t was discovered by
Mrs. Coonen in a most remarkable
manner. and was the result of dream
which she had about two months ago.
That dream haunted her by day and
night, until one day about three weeks
ago she determined to strike out for
the south slope of the Gold Hill noun
tain, at which place the dream direct
ed her, and where she firmly believed
ar undiscovered mine lay waiting for
her stakes to claim 1t as her own.
Taking all the provisions that could
be found on the place the widow
started out from home accompanied
by her five little children. Their
route carried them through the head
OF the Cowyche valley, into the Tieton
basin, and across mountains that had
never been traversed before.
After travelling for six days, the pc
destrians arrived on a ledge of rock
which was composed of solid gold and
copper quartz. Pieces of quartz lying
loose on top of the ledge were picked
up by the widow and her children
The location was staked out immedi'
ately. and the following morning Mrs
Coonen and her footsore children
there being two girls in the family
recommended their journey home
ward In the Tieton basin they prac
tically ran out of provisions and vert
compelled to live on flour and waite
for the last five days of the journey
Their shoes were worn out, and thei
clothing was in rags.
Mrs. Coonen brought her flock int
the city yesterday morning, and wen
Immediately to the land office AM
filed on her gold claim. The quart
was exhibited to some of the exper
mining men in the city and all o
them pronounced it ore of the yer
highest quality.

HOLDING COAL
OPERATORS IN PFTTSBURG DIS
TRICT SENDING OUT LITTLE.
Their profits May Amount to 81 ,OO0,-
900 in Case Of A Strike.

Pittsburg, March 21.-With a suf-
ficient water stage TO ship coal south,
the Monongahela River Consolidat-
ed Coal and Coke company is hold
ing 100000 bushels of coal in the
Pittsburg harbor.
After April 1, 1t is expected that
il the wage advance is not granted
the miners. the price of coal will go
up at least 90 cents a ton TO the con-
sumer. With the amount of coal in
the harbor the company Will net a
big profit.
officials says the reason for mon
shipment is that the mills in the
Pittsburg district are slowing fuel
in anticipation of a shutdown Of the
mines.
The movement of the coal opera
tors to store coai at mines in addi-
don to that heavy consumers, such
as the Steel Corporation and other
large steel companies and railroads,
has developed the fact that it is not
so much the fear of a strike as to
secure the benefit of the low mining
rate that this is being done. Enor-
nous production has been going on
ala of this month II is estimated
that fully 3,OO0,OOO tons wild have
been mined in the Pittsburg district
and held before the expiration of
the month, which at the least ad-
vance in mining rate OF six cents, will
mean the saving of $3.50 900, but
with a strike the saving will run
possibly to 81 100000.

fejter, but this is untrue The Sc
cret service man was asked about IL
yesterday and stated that Davis and
Ingram were both green at the
business and that this was prob
ably their first offense-most GER
tainly they had not been at the
business long enough to make good
counterfeits.
Ingram will probably be given a
comparatively light sentence, as he
confessed and the court always
takes this into consideration. The
detective did not promise Ingram
anything when they wrung the CON
fession from him and is depending
entirely on the mercy of. the court
to deal with him leniently.
Detective Donella left at noon for
Louisville having finished his bust
ness here until the convening of fed
eral court at the next term.
Before he left a report reached
him to the effect that a resident of
Princeton, KY, has found bad dol
lar which some one passed on him.
The dollar was given to Officer John
Hessian by the Princeton man at the
l. c. depot 1t is an old coin which has
been i'm circulation, from indications,
for years. No investigation was deem
ed necessary as the coin proved to be
a good counterfeit, having passed
through many hands and the matter
of tracing 1t down to the original
holder being next to an impossible
