that IL will be larger than last year, the
high prices being an incentive for the
farmers. Plant beds are showing up very
well I'm all sections. and the sales of fer
tiliZers for tobacco exceed those of pre-

The department OF agriculture has been
reorganized along plans outlined in the

The old members of the board were
much exercised over the alleged had
treatment accorded them, saying that
they were treated discourteously by the

Many years ago. when there were identi
cal conditions. many Of those who went
into the primary declined to support
Bryan and they were almost read out of
the party. This time they took no chances
and declined to participate in the naming
of local officers. preferring to be free to
vote for whomever they desire in the No

fight that will cause one Of the bftterest
discussions the democratic conventions

as an evidence of the great integrity OF

William MAIDS the British.

London Times that Emperor William of
Germany had written letter to Lord
Tweedmouth, first lord of the British
admiralty, attempting to influence naval
appropriations. 1t was surmised that
William was seeking to keep the British
estimates down, and this was keenly
resented by Englishmen, who are jealous
and fearful of Germany, and not dis
posed to please the emperor. Tweed
mouth was called upon to produce the
letter, but declined, saying that it was
of trivial import.
