For this reason the markets of the world manifested great sensitiyeness to the reports of damage which seem so widespread.

Blue Ribbon Cnp for Hop Growers.

The Interstate Exposition of Irri- gated Land Products and Forest Pro- ducts, to be held at Sacramento. Call fornia, next September. is expected to show the wonderful progress that has been made in developing lands hither- to unproductiye for agricultural pur- poses.
 Immense tracts of hitherto waste lands that have been reclaimed by modern irrigation methods, have materially added to the resources of the United States. and large interests have been quick to see the possibili- ties of these irrigated lands in pro- ducing an exceptionally fine quality of various products.
 The Pabst Brewing Company of Milwaukee, was among the first to appreciate the possibilities of irri- gating lands for the raising of the finest quality of hops. To stimulate the hop growers to make every effort to produce hops of the quality and flavor that will brew such a beer as Pabst Blue Ribbon, Col. Gustave Pabst has offered $500 solid silver cup for the finest exhibit of irrigation grown hops, te be made at the forth coming exposition.
 The Board of Control has already arranged for some fifteen trophies, ranging in price from s200 to $500, and these prizes will make the exposition one of the most successful that has ever been known. MT. W. A. Beard, secretary of the executive committee of the 10th Annual Irrigation Con- gress, which convenes at Sacramento on September 2nd, the opening day of the exposition, says:
 "The Pabst Blue Ribbon Cup will insure magnificent hop display at the forthcoming Fair. It is but one more evidence of the far reaching in- fluence already being exerted by the National Irrigation Congress and in the Exposition to be held under it's auspices. ,"
 The Pabst Blue Ribbon Cup will be designed by Messrs. Shreye & Com pany, the well known silyersmiths of San Francisco, and will be one of the handsomest designs this firm has ever produced The Cup is offered without restriction and with the intention that prize of this character will stimulate the hop growers of the West to rival in excellence of their hops the finest product of foreign londs.
 The Interstate Exposition will con- tinue until September l4th, the clos ing date of the California State Fair, which is held ad Sacramento simul- taneously with the Exposition, and it is therefore anticipated that in addi- tion to those who compete for the Pabst Blue Ribbon Cup, a very general interest will be awakened in the growing of hops on the part of thou sands of farmers who will visit Sacra- mento during the month of Septem- hpr

Cotton and the Weather

Three weeks of warm sunshine and moderate showers have worked a marked change in the cotton crop and revolutionized plantation sentiment, which has turned to the most hopeful after period of long depression. This was inevitable, since any change had to be for the better. It is still a far cry from cotton four or five inches high in the fields at the middle of June to the full basket in October The season to be encountered in the meantime is fraught with many dan gers and many hopes.
 The crop has received beyond all questions one of the latest starts ever known. It's small size and retarded growth, with low vitality in many sections makes the situation one to be watched with closeness. It is well however, that sentiment on the farms has changed. Better work and better efforts are always put forth under fay- orable circumstances, and there was really little ground for the belief that total crop failure was likely. A cotton crop failure from weather causes is practically unknown, never theless, there have been many seasons when the out-turn was much curtail- ed. At the present june ture the worlds trade demands a full crop and

J General Sam Houston was not only
a great Texan, but probably the most
striking and commanding figure which
has yet appeared in the public life Of
the far southwest born In Virginia,
taken to Tennessee at an early age,
whence, while yet In his teens, he went
to war with Andrew Jackson against
the Creek Indians; desperately wound

adjutant general Of Tennessee and a
representative in congress from that
state; governor of Tennessee in his
youth; married, separated from his
wife in two months, resigning imme-

years among the Cherokee Indians,

Of the convention Of 1886, which de-

John Doe Proceedings,

John Doe" proceedings were abol-
ished by law in Great Britain in 1852.
Previous to that time John Doe had
figured in the old fashioned ejectment
action for the recovery of the posses
sion of land, together with damages
for the wrongful withholding thereof.
For various reasons Of convenience
and history dating from the reign of
Edward III. A did not proceed against
B directly in such case. Instead A
delivered to B an entirely false state
ment from the fictitious "John Doe"
that A had devised the land to "John"
for a term of years, and "John" had
been ousted from it by the equally
fictitious Orchard Roe" Then Rich
ard Informed B that he was not going
to defend the action himself, but B
must do it, and so on. Occasionally,
by way of variety, John Doe" gave
place to one "Goodtitle."

st. Petersburg, --s. en-. Gui-
dema, governor Of the political prison
at Vasili Ostroff, suburb of this city,
was shot in the main street of the
island during the day and died almost
Immediately.
The assassin, who was youth of
eighteen, dressed as a workman,
emerged from a teahouse as M. Gui-
dema was passing on his way home
and shot him twice in the stomach.
The youth also shot and mortally
wounded a prison warden who accom-
panied M. Guidema and who pursued
the assassin. The latter disappeared
and the police have been unable to
find any trace Of him owing to the
fact that the population of the island
generally sympathizes with the revolu-
tiOnists.
Guidema was sentenced to death by
the local group of terrorists for the
merciless use Of the lash in suppress
ing the hunger strike' which the
prisoners on Basil island declared a
fortnight ago as a protest against the
killing by guard of a prisoner who
was leaning out of a window. Gui-

see how little water is required to float

loaded with perhaps thousand bales
Of cotton slipping along contentedly
where a boy could wade across the
stream. Once, however, the Chatta.

drinking water on board needed re.
plenishing, deck hand was sent ashore
with a couple of water buckets. Just
at this moment a northern traveller ap-
preached the captain of the boat, and
asked him how long he thought they
would have to stay there
ooh, only until that man gets back
with a bucket of water to pour into
the river" the captain replied. Pres
emily the deck hand returned. and the
stale water from the cooler was
emptied overheard. Instantly, to the
amazement Of the traveller, the boat
began to move.
"Well, if that doesn't beat thunder?'
he gasped.
The fact was that the boat, touching
the bottom, had acted as dam, and
there was soon backed up behind her
enough water to lift her over the shoal
and send her on down the stream

ed him to go to her and how the neces-
sity of grinding out his editorials day

and called for writing materials. After
several hours he returned to the editor

A SatiricaI Picture In a Church,

There is probably only one church in
Britain which contains a satirical pic
ture. 1t is the little church of South
Brent, in Somersetshire. On three oak
en- peWs are carved pictures which
were intended to satirize the greed Of
a certain religious dignitary at Glas-
tonbury. This ecclesiastic is represent
ed in the first picture as fox dressed
in robes and inter and holding a crook
In his right paw. In the second picture
the fox has been manacled by a flock
Of geese, and in the third the birds
have revenged themselves on their foe
by hanging him from the branch of a
tree
