There Is always trouble for owners of skittish horses. When the rail- road. trains supplanted the stage coach, farmers and others had the deuce to pay hanging onto their colts, but in time they got used to the strange looking objects and while some of them continued to sniff and others kicked up their heels and ran away, the great majority of them passed 1t by as something beneath their notice. Finally, when almost all of them had become reconciled to the iron horse. as they used to term the engine when it first dashed through the country, on comes the trolley. which was quickly followed by one thing worse than another un- til the auto. or red devil. made its appearance. and then the man with the horse was up against 1t for fair But he was gritty and hung on and appeared to have the animal about convinced that there. was no need to be alarmed at these road monsters, when suddenly everybody in town ap- peared on the streets with canoples raised over their heads. This was the limit and despite the efforts of their owners the horses went crazy and refused to be talked. eoaxed or whipped back to rationalism.

SECOND WARD SOCIETY
Improvement Club VIII Watch
 ihe Fall Election.

The Second Ward Improvement society is in an ugly mood just now and unless something is done right off to placate them there will be something doing at the fall election. The club has decided to send dele gation to the nominating committee of that district with instructions to have some new men sent to the board of aldermen for the next two years. They express much displeas- ure at what they term Tack of inter- est" on the part of Mir Larkin, and if he doesn't promise to do better by them in the future they will make a fight against him at the primary. Just why MT Larkin should be sin gled out does not appear quite clear to those not on the inside, but 1t is evident that the club knows, or thinks it does, what it Is talking about. The boys are not throwing their hats in the air over the admin istration, either, and unless some of them change their minds they will ask the republicans to nominate a man for mayor on whom all ele- ments in the ward can unite and they will turn in and help elect him. They represent that too much atten- ton has been paid to some sections of the town and too little to others. and as they are in the latter list they don't pretend to stand for this sort of thing any longer. The next meet ing of the club will be held at the residence of c. A. Templeton, when definite action will be taken on this matter. One of them told a re- porter to-day that he thought the business administration the limit, but that was before he knew any thing about the present one, whose department of public works prom ised his ward everything it wanted, but gave 1t nothing. The gentleman was very angry and stigmatized the board of public works as the board of broken pledges.

The rain came just in time to in- terfere with the big republican clam bake, which was scheduled to come of at Grilley's grove, Waterville, this afternoon. The intention was to col lect all the nabobs of the party into some cozy nook while the ordinary mortals were otherwise occupied and fix up the slate for the fall campaign. But the best laid plans O men and mice aft gang aglee, and nobody should be surprised to learn that the committee in charge of the Republi- can club outing had to change its plans and hold its feast under cover at Lakewood.

BIG CATTLE SHOW.
Liberal appropriations for Beef and
Dairy Ereeds at the Blue Grass
Fair.

The cattle show at the Blue Grass
Fair will De one OF its biggest and
most important features. The Associ-
alton has been most liberal in it's
appropriations for different classes of
cattle and the cattle associations
have recognized the Importance of the
Fair by handsome donations on their
part. The American Shorthorn
Breeders Association has appropriate
ed s625 to be added to the amount
appropriated by the Fair Association
and the whole forms total for the
Shorthorn cattle which insures a
tremendous good show.
The Aberdeen-Angus Breeders AS
sociation has given the Blue Grass
Fair the only appropriation which it
has made for the State of Kentucky,
in amount 5000, and the black cattle
will certainly be well represented at
Lexington the week Of August 18th
to 18th. There is-<ssiso a splendid
premium list for Herefords.
In the dairy class the whole amount
has been appropriated for Jerseys.
The management of the Blue Grass
Fair has taken the ground that this
is the only breed of dairy cattle
which interest the people of Ken
tucby. 1t believes it would be bad
policy and it sees no advantage to be
gained by offering premiums for 9TH
er dairy breeds which would simply
allow one exhibitor from another
State to come to Lexington and take
away the whole amount of the premi-
inns offered without in any wise bene-
fitting the people of Kentucky.

KENTUCKY CROP REPORT.
Condition Of Growing Crops, Pros
pect, Etc, June IS, 1907.

In our May report we started on by
saving "the month OF April Will long
be remembered as the coldest ana
most unfavorable for crops and spring
work for many years." The same can
be truthfully said Of month OF May.
The oldest inhabitants claim they
have never seen a spring so cold and
the conditions so unfavorable tor
work and growing crops. Damaging
frosts as late as the 2Sth of May.
Crops of all kinds are far behind and
in most cases anything but very prom
ising. And to add to the damage done
by frosts and cold, damp weather, the
cut worms were never more plentiful
and destructive; doing great damage
to young corn, tobacco and garden
truck.
The army worm has also gotten In
destructive work in a large part OF
the State. They first made their ap'
pearance in the western end of the
State and gradually showed up until
many counties in the central part
are affected by them. Old meadows,
pastures and many wheat fields fell
an easy prey to their ravages. In
some localities corn fields and early
planted tobacco were damaged by
them.
The low condition of meadows, pas
lures and clover is largely accounted
for by these invaders.
Much of the corn land has not yet
been planted on account of too much
cold and wet, and many fields OF the
early planted had to be planted over.
The acreage compared with a five
years average is a little short, being
96 per cent. Condition is II per cent
which is fairly good considering the
weather and worms.
The acreage of wheat is 80 per cent
of a five years average. Condition
is 80. a falling off of seven points
since our May report. The oat crop
is a little short in acreage and has
fallen off in condition from SO in May
to 70 at this time. Rye is some better
in acreage and conditions. Hemp is
SO per cent. of a five years average
and 80 in condition.
There is a general complaint of g
scarcity of tobacco plants and late
ness for being ready for transplant
ing.
1t looks now that it will be mpos
sible to plant full crop and much
of that will be late. Only small
per cent. of the crop was planted
June 1st. This is applicable to botf
hurley and dark.
The scarcity and high price o
stock peas has cut the acreage o
tht crop.

writes (Jan 16) after careful number
ing: ct saw enough to convince me
that my estimate of 100000 people was
well within the mark, and that I had
witnessed more human suffering con-
centrated into one spot than / ever
have witnessed before, and such as I
shall hope never to see again. At
night it was intensely cold, and it re-
quired no effort or Imagination on my
part to picture the state of the thou
sands, who had experienced the sun s
rays during the day, but who were now
crouching in their fimsy shelters, with
out extra clothing, freless and fam
ished.'
Most CHASTITY are the sights that
these many writer's from the famine
describe. The little children, as well
as the men and women, show on their
sunken faces the story of the slow and
awful starvation. Every effort is be-
ing made by the relief committee to
ieoSch tine 1edfIui teITOTS u THESE
camps. But what they have is far from
enough to buy food for these great
multitudes in such dire need Thou
sands must die unless much greater eff
fort is made to send relief. The
Church of Christ has freely received.
Now is time to freely give. The
famine in Japan, of year ago, was
not nearly as extensive, or as severe,
as this one in China. However, Amer
tributed $350,o00 gold. The relief
committee report that so far contribu-
tions to China IS famine stricken peo-
pie, have reached something over $780,
600 gold, and more will certainly be
given. Very much more, however, is
needed, as China herself seems quite
unable to meet this great calamity. All
may feel sure that the money given
into the hands of the missionaries on
the field will actually relieve the HUI
man suffering for which it is sent. 1t
is well to bear in mind that a little
goes farther in China than in America
One cent is equal to about two cents of
China s money, or about 20 cash, an
amount sufficient to keep a child for
one day. Five cents, the nickel that
pays ear fare, will keep a child in
China from starving for FIVE days
Half a dollar will save the lives of
ten children for nearly week, and Eve
dollars one hundred children for the
same time. Think of it. Now is the
time to send them food 81 was an

done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, We have done it unto me- -
After the service a generous collec-
tion was given, to be sent through Mr..
Richards, treasurer Of the Hawaiian
Board, to the missionaries who are
working to distribute relief to these
suffering multitudes in China.

BIC STORM
ON MAUI
Houses Washed Away
and Some Narrow
Escapes.

wAILUKU, Feb. 1.-THE heaviest
rain ever seen on West Maui visited
the island Monday about eight O'CLOCK
in the evening. Much damage was
done to the bitches and fumes about
waiehu and waihee, and the people
are still without water there. without
a moments warning small streams be-
came rushing torrents and there were
narrow escapes for some who lived in
the track of the mad waters.
At waihee a Chinese poi maker
heard the water and large boulders
coming, but before he could open his
door the water had struck the house
and was moving it down toward the
sea. He rushed out the back door and
finally succeeded in reaching place
of safety after going through water
up to his arms. He had eighty dollars
in silver in his room, but the water
was over the money before he had time
to grab it, His house was carried
some distance down the decline and
broken up, and the money lost An
other house that stood by his was en-
tirely demolished
Much damage was done to the cane
and great rivers tore through tha
fields. A wagon was carried down
stream nearly mile and the bed de-
1t was recovered the follow
ing day.
At Kahakuloa houses We're swept
away and two children in one of the
nraa
them was carried down stream some
distance and left in shallow water.
where it remained all night, and was
rescued the following morning.
In front of the Waihee school

inches through We're washed over ths
bank of the stream and left in the
road. blocking up the entrance to the
school grounds, as well as stopping
traffic on the public road below.
