empire.
For instance "Mr Asquith Faces Trouble to

But more interesting are other headlines re-

And the strangest feature OF the new situa-
ton IS that the woman sufragists OF England feel
more encouraged under the new government than
they have ever felt before, notwithstanding the
fact that Mr. Asquith. the new premier, is an
avowed opponent of their aims and purposes.
Why, then, should they hope for success under
the rule of an unfriendly-that is, at present un-

Chops up Man He Finds With

Petersburg, Va, Aug.-John A.
Mullen, a prominent citizen OF Peters

married man, whom he caught In the
room OF his wife. Coles head was
beaten to q jelly with an OK, and his
body hacked to pieces.
Mullen was locked up In she police

fate as Cole by fleeing from her en-
ragged husband.
There is considerable difference be-
tween the two versions Of the tragedy.
1t is thought the defendant will plead
the unwritten law In extenuation OF
the crime. Mrs. Mullen maintains
that there was nothing wrong In her
relations with Cole.
The husband, aiser warning bis
wife that he would kill both her and

with the latter, went to his home In

The Secretary of she State Board
of Agriculture, Geo. B Ellis, made
the following announcement OF crop
condiylsions In this state:
Corn. Under normal conditions
the weather for July would have been
highly satisfactory for the growth OF
corn. There has been about q nor

moisture, and a few counties In the
state have made an improvement In
the condition of corn during the
month, while other communities
have declined. Fortunately no ex

mand even more than a normal rain.

without any material damage from

the entire crop at this time lie "a per
cent as compared with a condition Of
70 per cent on the first Of July and a
condition OF SO per cent one year
ago. A number OF correspondents
report that the corn is tasseling very
low and q number OF counties report
that the stalk is small. Considering
the reduced acreage, under the most
favorable conditions from now on
