HUGE BONFlRES BURNING.
Desperate Effort to Save Fruit From
the Frost.

Cleveland. May 2s.-The tempera-
ture dropped to 40 degrees above zero
during the night. This record has
been equaled only twice before since
the weather bureau was established
in this city in 1871. Throughout the
fruit belt along the south shore Of
Lake Erie huge bonfires were kept
burning with a view to preventing
damage by frost to young fruit. Ow-
ing to the fact that there was a light
wind blowing nearly all night 1t is not
believed. that. the damage by frost will
be heavy in this section. From other
points in the state, however, reports
indicate much destruction. A dispatch
from GAINESVILLE, o., says there was a
killing frost throughout that county
and the entire Muskingum valley and
fruit has been damaged very mate

Mr.. Hanson has lived in this sec

His success is owing to the fact
that all representations can be re-

'"rhe best that can be said is that
the markets are no worse. Perhaps
they are slightly better. But with
President Roosevelt attacking the
