LANE STILL LIVES.
Wife Hears He Was Murdered
and Again WEEDS.

Nashville, June An Zeigler, ILL.,,
Curtis Lane has wife, and family
at Darlington, KY. A woman who long
mourned Curtis Lane, her husband,
as dead and at length married j. T.
Denton, has reared a family of Den
tons.
Sunday night Curtis, Lane, freight
conductor on the Louisville and Nash
vile road, and son Of Mrs. Denton
by her first husband, left here for
Zeigler to meet the man supposed Il
be his father and obtain, IL possible
an explanation of the latter's strange
conduct. In 1873 Curtis ] ane, Sr., left
Nambly Station, Hopkins county. Ken
lucky, for Paducah, KY, and was new
er heard from again until about a weef
ago. Shortly after his disappearance
noted woman desperate was hanged
at Paducah for murder On the scat
fold she told of several shocking
crimes, among them the killing of d
man supposed to have been Lane. Aft
er vain search for her husband Mrs.
Lane accepted the theory of his death
and later on married Denton, and these
two have reared a family of children.
Recently Curtis Lane, at Evansville,
Ind, learned from an acquaintance Of
the presence of man in Zeigler who
claimed to be Curtis Lanes father.
A detective being employed to investi
gate, corroborated the story, saying
further that the long missing man had
a wife and family at eZigler.
Mrs. Lane-Denton is i'll at Earling

RAINFALL LAST NIGHT.

The rainfall last night, if not sur
prise, was unexpected. From slumber
deep and peaceful there was an awak-

the rain had ceased, the sky was clear

CAPTAIN MARSTON
His View of Paris Green and the Boil
Weevil.


i New Orleans Picayune, June 8 Capt.
w. Marston of the State Crop Pest
Commission, in his last letter on the
subject OF Paris green and boil weevil
poisoning. says that within year pois-
oning BY this method Of getting. rid of
the weevil will become universal. In his
letter he says:
T regret to notice that many pessi-
mists have thrown up the sponge be-
cause there are so many weevils in
sight. killed sixty weevils on one
stalk Of cotton in one week with one
poisoning Had there been six hundred
on that stalk they could have been just
as easily killed One stalk of this cot
ton was carried into the town of Lock-
port, Texas, with forty grown bolls on
it. In an adjoining field, conditions be-
ing identical the cotton not poisoEed
did moi make three bolls TO the stalk.
The field poisoned made six bales. The
field not poisoned, about the same size,
to my astonishment, made two bales.
This cotton was Inade in the intermis-
sion between the passing away of the
old weevil and the advent of the new.

gently will Be amply rewarded If all
would poison intelligently it would be

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS
Another week of unfavorable weather
for agricultural interests is the rather
monotonous record which the Picayune
has had to repeat weekly for more than,
two months past. The splendid weather
of Mracil, which gave the crops such a
brilliant opening promise, makes the
dismal experience of the past two
months the more exasperating Here
we are at the beginning of June with
the temperature as low as might be ex-
pected at the beginning of April, and
with crop prospects hardly further adj
vanced than they ought to have been at
that time.
During the past week heavy rains
have been experienced throughout the
cotton belt, but particularly in Texas,
Arkansas and the delta of the Mlssis
sippi, including of course Louisiana
These rains have not only prevented the
proper cultivation of the fields already
deep in grass, but in many places they
have practically washed out the late
planted cotton, making further re-
planting necessary, a process which has
now been several times repeated in
many districts. Naturally farmers are
feeling greatly discouraged, and it is an
open question if as large an acreage will
be worked during this crop year as was
worked out last season. 1t was origi-
nally the intention of farmers to in
crease acreage, but what with the many
disappointments owing to the weather
and the replanting that has been neces-
sary, it is more likely that many fields
will be abandoned than that new acreage
will be worked.-Picayune
All of which is true, but the farmers
can not give up" It is true the sea-
son is well advanced, but the only sal
vation is in the presentation of bold
front and to not be discouraged. While
the situation is distressing, if is far from
being hopeless, and if the crop Of cotton
be short, there will follow the compen-

What the Noise Did,

OF the noise of London streets caused
by the hackney coach Taylor, the old
water poet, wrote: ut makes such a
hideous rumbling In the streets by
many churches doors that peoples
ears are stopped with the noise, where
by they are debarred of their edifying

works so barren and charity as cold

sation in the increase of the price. As
the farmers are intelligent AMI have a
full knowledge of the conditions, as IA
rule they will do their best to secure
the most results notwithstanding the
weather, which can not always be un-
pleasant and unfair.

Following Mr. Grosjean, in an ad-
dress thrilling with the fervor of elo-
quence, Mr. w. A. Mabry .discoursed
on "The Confederate Soldier; In Me-
moriam. His remarks were sentiment
tai and his poetical blending in keeping
with his subject, was an appropriate and
striking contrast of the facts historical
presented by the speaker who had pre-
ceded him. Unfortunately it is not pos
sible to give in full in this issue Mr..
Mabry's admirable address, but it is
gratifying to say that the audience, in
tellectually appreciative, recognized this
brilliant effort with rounds of applause.
A FEATURE OF THE DAY.
One of the features of the day was
the observance of the request to devote
five minutes, from 100 to :o5 o'clock
in the afternoon to silent meditation,
which was generally observed, especially
by the Shreveport Traction Company
which was the first to give public notice
of their readiness to pay homage, the
inestimable tribute of regard to the be-
loved Chieftain of the Confederacy.
1t is in such exemplifcation, as an in
dex of the patriotism Of the people,
there is proclaimed the era of good will
and fellowship which strengthens the
