Bumper Crops Expected.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Bumper crops in wheat and corn are indicated by the August reports of the agents of the department of agriculture. In wheat the total spring and winter yield Is beyond any seasons record. In corn the indicated crop is likewise larger than any of which the government has statistics. Calculations, of course, are based on average conditions from now on to harvest. Henry Heinzer, statis- tician of the Produce Exchange, cal culated upon the basis of the crop re- port that the indicated yield of wheat would reach 772,264, 900 bushels, Q promise which, if realized, would run 79,000.000 ahead of the crop of 1905. He placed his estimate of the corn crop at 2,713, 100000 bushels.

Salisbury (N. O. Man Gets Fifteen
 Year Sentence.
 SALISBURY, N. C., Aug. 11.-What Is said to be the first instance of the conviction of lyncher in the history of the state was furnished here when George Hall, white ex-convict oR Montgomery county, N. C., who was one of the party that Monday night lynched three negroes in jail here for the murder of the Lyerly family, was found guilty of conspiracy in connec- ton with that crime and was sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary.
 The jury was out but thirty-flve min utes and returned then with verdict of guilty after several witnesses had been heard. Judge B. F. Long sen tenced Hall to the maximum term pro- vided for by law--flfteen years at hard labor in the penitentlary. The eyi- dence against Hall was overwhelming. He was remanded to jail.
 Halls counsel has appealed on the ground that Governor Glenn was in Atlantic City when the special term at which Hall was tried was ordered and that, being out the states bounds, he had no jurisdiction.

 While the search for Paul o. Stems land, the missing president of the failed bank. Is extending to all parts of the country Cashier Herring spent many hours with the state attorneys exam ming the banks collateral in an effort to determine the shortage in accounts.
 After an all day search, forged notes aggregating more than S5O0.0O0 were found and are now In the possession of the state attorney. who will use them in the prosecution of persons re- sponsible for their utterance. From statements made by Herring regarding loans made by Stensland to himself and the shortages found by previous investigations 1t is asserted that when final adjustment of the affairs of the bank is made 1t will be found that President stensland's alleged defalca- tions will aggregate nearly $2.0O0. 900.
 In addition to the discovery of pri- vate ledger kept by President Stems land and in which was concealed rec ord of S19l,OOO of savings bank de posits, another sensational book came to light during the examination of Cashier Herring by Assistant State At torney Olsen at the bank.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-In some sec tions the intense heat facilitated retail trade in summer goods and improved the attendance at seaside resorts, but the most important development in the business world was the increased ac- tivity of jobbing and wholesale depart ments in preparing for autumn and winter requirements
 Crop reports are all that could be desired, harvest and thrashing returns surpassing all but the most sanguine expectations, the few unsatisfactory statements being far outbalanced by the numerous encouraging results.
 Manufacturing news is still of good progress, the iron and steel industry maintaining phenomenal results despite some labor troubles. High prices pre- vail in the footwear industry and for most textile fabrics, but the general level of all commodities reflects the cheapening of farm products on ac- count of the big crops.

It may be useful to know that in case of sudden need, such as often arises in warm weather. a simple form of starching is the use of borax water. A quarter of teaspoonful of borax in half teacupful of cold water will give a dressing like new to em- broidered cuffs and collars or stocks. even those made of linen.
