estimates are interesting as giving
some Indication of the supplies re-
CURED by those countries from out
side sources.
The important changes are de-
Creases of possibly $4,000 tons in
Cuba and $4,000 tons in Mauritius
and an increase of 10000 tons in
Louisiana and 100000 tons in Java.
1t is entirely too early to make a
close estimate of the crop in Cuba, as
Il is dependent upon the weather
which may prevail during the next
three months and upon the length of
time suitable for grinding. There
was much less than the usual acre
age of cane left over from last cam,
paign, rain has been deficient, plant
;ngs have beenIle than normal and
we can only say that the latest re-
liable reports indicate a yield this
season of 100000 to 100000 tons
sugar, according to the length of the
grinding season, against the last rec
ord crop of ,427,673 tons. Weather
conditions, in most sections, are now
more favorable than for several
months past, and If these continue to
improve, we may be Obliged to in
crease our estimate.

BIG AMOUNTS FOR ADVERTISING,
Nearly Two Million Dollars Spent by
 Five New York Firms Annually.

Hartley Davis, writing in the September Every body's on .'The Department Store at Close Range" says: The advertising IS the largest single item of ex- pense ot a department store, apart from the money spent for goods. Last year the daily news papers in New York were paid S500,0c0 by Siegel Cooper Con- pany, $4S0,000 by John Wana- maker, $400, ,000 by K. II. Macy X Co., $500, GOO by Simpson -Craw- ford Company, aud Sl00, 900 by B. Altman" This one and three quarter million dollars spent by these five stores in one year for newspaper advertising alone is conclusive evidence that "it pays to advertise" Although every one of these immense concerns have mammoth and costly build iugs, their largest single item of expense except goods is advertis- ing.

It Strengthens and Develops the Lunos,
 Overcoming Weak Tendencies.

Deep breathing. that is, taking long full breaths right down into the lungs, cannot be practiced too often In the open air, and the clearer and purer the air the deeper you should breathe. It will seem hard task al first, but one will soon find it pleas. ant, and the results will be apparent in straighter shoulders, better devel. oped chests, clearer skin and sweeter breath. This method of breathing is the real elixir of life" and better than any youthrestorer on the mar. ket.
 In a short time you will be breath. Ing correctly. awake or asleep. It is to be remembered that deep breathing also fills out sunken and hollow cheeks, clears the lungs and reduces the abdomen.
 tt IS comparatively easy task 10 teach children who have not acquired hxed bad habits, whose clothing ad- mits of perfect freedom, how to breathe properly. The habit of deep breathing Is formed quickly, and in normal conditions is maintained through life.
 The weak, who have cramped their lungs and relaxed all the breathing muscles, will find that the formation or the new habit requires persistent daily practice, but when it once is established they will have health and vigor.-Physical Culture.

BLOWN TO ATOMS BY DYNAMITE.
Gus Fry of Wickes Was in Well
 When Blast Went Off.

Wickes, Aug. g. -Thursdas
 afternoon Gus Fry was instantl, killed by a premature explosion of dynamite in well he was dig ging on the public school ground at this place. His body was torn into thousand pieces.
 l Fry and another man had q contract to dig we'll for the school and at the depth of about Is feet struck hard gravel and rock and began using dynamite. Thursday afternoon Fry drilled a hole aud it is said put in IA sticks of the explosive and called Prof. G. w. Johnson, principal of the school. to know when he should touch 1t off. At Mir. Johnson's s request he said he would wait un- til after school. Fry's fellow workman then started down town, while Fry continued to iii ike pre- parations for the blast. A mo ment later the school was thrown into excitement by the report of the blast. Fearing some accident Prof. Johnson rushed out and was mortified to see small bits oi human flesh scattered around the grounl.
 The blast had gone off while Fry was in the we'll and his body had been literally torn to pieces.
 Only a small portion of the body could be recovered, the largest pieces found being the lower part of the legs.
 Fry was young man, 2s years of age. He was married and leaves a wife and three small children.
 Less than two months ago, or on July }, the deceased took out Sl0,0O0 life insurance policy with the New York Life Iusur- ance Company, paying the first premium in full. It is said by those who have seen the policy that there is no clause in the contract which would prevent his wife collecting this insurance.
 The deceased is well known in this part of Polk county although a portion of his time recently has been spent in Louisiana, where he is said to have owned several teams and logging outfits.

THE BIG LAWN MOWER HERE.
Grass tn Park Is Being Moved Today
 by the New Machine.

Father Gallagher is happy now in possessing a fine, new horsepower lawn mower. and is having the grass trimmed rapidly in the park, which will look prettier than ever wheE the job is done.
 The new machine is very heavy, weighing 400 pounds. and in addition to cutting the grass, the big roller will do much toward smoothing the grounds when they are not too hard.
 Jansen park will probably have a lawn by next season that will be a stimulant to many citizens to under take the identification of the lawns about their homes in similar manner.

NO DULL SUMMER MONTHS.
W. E. Watkins & Bro. Do a Record July Business and Explain Why.

In conversation with repre- sentative of The Star yesterday, Dan Watkins, janior member of tho firm of w. E. Watkins X Bro, dealers ia hardware, furniture and general farm and home supplies, remarked that the busi- ness of that firm in July was the heaviest of any month in its his tory, and that August would do almost as well.
 As 1t is generally supposed that the midsummer months are a dull season for business, an .ex- planation was asked, and Mir. Watkins said that while in the past summer months were quiet in business way, this was being radically changed. He asserted that few people in this locality realized that nearly if not quite as much money was brought in for the fruit crop of this section as for cotton, and that this, com ing as it does in the midst of what was once the dull season, is rapidly making it the best.
 Mir. Watkins stated, also, that it was hard for his firm to keep up with the growth of its busi- ness, aud that during the fair they were very hard pressed to care for the many customers. He says that he credits much of this to the fact that it is rule of the store to mark the prices of goods in plain figures, thus guarantee ing equal treatment 10 all. lie also believes iu liberal advertis- ing, as shown by the space occu- pied in The Star.

BIG SUIT FOR
 DAMAGE TO FRUIT
Crawford County Fruit Growers Ask For SIPS. 900 Damage For Delay of Fruit Shipments By the
 Frisco and Iron Mountain

Van Buren, Aug. 22.-At th'
 time the Crawford county peact crop was being harvested there was much com 2laint against both ihe Frisco and the Iron Mountain systems on account of their fail' ure to furnish refrigerator cars promptly, but the greatest com plaint was the s'owuess with which they moved he cars after they were loaded, the most of the fruit being from five to ten days late in reaching New York and other distant markets The de. lay in moving the fruit and i'm proper icing of the cars while ID transit caused the growers and shippers to lose hundreds of dollars on every car.
 Ever since the closing of the shipping season there have been daily consultations between ship pers and Attorney $. K. Chew in the latter's office, and the result of these consultations is best shown in the suits filed in the circuit clerks. office this morning against the two railroad com panies, aggregating SIPS, 900. Large as this sum may appear, 1t does not represent all the suits that are to follow. as Colonel Chew expects to file others that will raise the sum total to at tleast $500, 900.
 Following are the plaintiffs and the amounts asked in the suits filed this morning:
 J. l.. Rea X Go. ESQ, GOO Oaklani Fruit Company. 60, 1000 J. A. Barrett t......... 65,000 NJ. F. Smeltzer ........ 10000 Goldsmith X Keller .,.. 5000 A. w. Pool, Ozark ....... 5000
 The complaints filed in these suits are voluminous, as each of the cars, more than 500, consii- tutes a complaint. The damages sought are based upon the value of sound, marketable fruit on the markets upon the day the de- layed shipments reached their destinations. The plaintiffs have secured all necessary data. show ing the numerous and unneces- sary delays their shipments were subjected to while in transit, and expect to make strong presenta- ton of ther cases to the jurics before whom they vii be tried.
