In her intensity she spoke more dis

Corson's shoulder. "See here. Young

Corson looked helplessly at the girl
but her face was adamant except when
she thanked her companion with a
smile. 1t is evident that there was no
appeal to her, and Corson wisely con-
cluded to let the argument wait until

Since the nominating convention was
held charges have been made that
General Grosvenor's friends tried to
bride some Of Mr.. Douglas adherents
by an offer of $1,000, but were check
mated by the superior generalship of
their opponents.
Mr. Douglas is a lawyer and has a
reputation as an orator. He was born
in Chillicothe in 1852, graduated in
1872 from Kenyon college and two
years later from the Harvard Law
school. The only Office he ever held
was that of prosecuting attorney Of his
county, to which he was first elected in
1875 and in which he served two terms.
He was a candidate for the Republican
gubernatOrial nomination in 1899, but
withdrew before the date Of the con-
ventiOn.
Mr.. Douglas has declared himself in
favor Of revision Of the tariff, govern
ment supervision of railroad rates and
reform in party organization.

what They Mean to the Country and
Its People.
Early in the spring the country be-
gins to ask, "HOw are the crops?"
Our prosperity during the twelve
months following the harvest depends
In a very large measure on the answer
to this question. Out Of the ground
comes our wealth. In these years Of
abundant prosperity the farmer takes
from the earth each harvest season
products Of a value Of $4,000, OOO, 600,
and more than third Of this enormous
sum represents the two great crops Of
the west-corn and wheat.
The question, How are the cropsT
becomes each year. therefore. as the
harvest time approaches one of vital
importance, and the earlier the knowl.

crops the more valuable 1t Is to the
commercial community. Railway men
of the harvest that they may prepare
for the transportation of the crops to
the markets. Bumper crops mean big
tonnage not only Of products from the
farms to the consumers, but also Of
merchandise from the manufacturing
towns to the farms, bought by the
farmers with their produce. When
railway men are assured of big crops
they spend many millions Of dollars
for new locomotives and cars and rails
and many millions more for the i'm
provement Of their roadbeds and the
extension Of their lines into new ter
ritory. The steel makers are jointly
interested with the railway men In the
harvest, for one-fourth of the enor-
nous product of the steel mills of this
country is purchased by the railways.
When the crops fail the railways cancel
their orders for rails and bridges and
equipment, and steel descends from
prince to pauper Then all the big
manufacturers of the country, whether
Of wagons or plows, Of shoes or cloth
ing. must know whether their great
customer, the farmer, is to have mon
ey to spend from harvest to harvest.
So it is with the merchants all through
the agricultural country. Even more
important is early knowledge Of the
crop prospects to the bankers, who
must not only finance the movement
of the crops to market, but must also
know whether the harvest is to cause
expansion or contraction of capital

His VaciIIntinE Actions To-
ward Friend.

w. J. Carey, a barber at Twenty-fourth
and Franklin streets, was required to pay
the cost OF $3.50 in a case where he had
complained that G. +. Frederickson, a
barber formerly in his employ, had stolen
and pawned barber tools, while Frederick
son was discharged. 1t appears Frederick
son pawned the tools to obtain money for
Carey on December H. when Carey was
sentenced to ten days in jail for threaten
ing TO kill his divorced wife when in
toxicated. The former Mrs. Carey went
to the mayor and obtained a pardon for
Carey, who then went to the pawn shop
with Frederickson and redeemed part OF
the tools, and in this way sanctioned the
action OF the defendant. Carey and Fred
erickson had a quarrel a few days age
over wages alleged to be due Frederickson
who placed the matter In the hands of a
lawyer and when Carey was called on for
a settlement he had Frederickson arrested
as retaliatory measure.
After hearing the evidence Saturday
morning Judge Crawford was very much
tncensed at Carey and ordered an Officer
