OVER IN TENNESSEE
Daughter of the Old North
State Fellows Her into
Prohibition Column.
"We 'uns of Tennessee" Will Awaken
Tomorrow Morning to Find
IL Themselves Riding on the
Water Wagon.

Nashville, Tenn, June 3O.-The
statewide prohibition law passed by
the legislature last winter over the
veto of Governor Patterson becomes
operative at midnight tonight. The
law forbids the sale of alcoholic
drinks within four miles of school
house, and will have the effect of clos
ing virtually every saloon in the
state.
All the cities will become dry,
among them Memphis. which will
thereby attain the distinction of be-
ing the largest city in the world
where the sale of intoxicants is pro-
hibited by law Memphis now has 500
saloons. Other large cities which
will be affected are Nashville, with
l31 saloons, and Chattanooga, which
has sixty-three drink emporiums.
On January 1 next, six months af-
ter the retailers have received their
Knockout blow, the brewers, distil-
lers and others engaged in the manu-
facture of intoxicants, will be put out
of business. On that date the state
law forbidding the manufacture Of in
toxicants will come into force. The
six months probation was given the
brewers and distillers to enable them
to dispose of their property.
1t is estimated that the prohibition
laws will cause a falling off of more
than a million dollars in the reve-
nues of Tennessee. Investments ex-
ceeding $1O,OOO,O0O in distilleries,
breweries, rectifying establishments
and wholesale and retail liquor stores
will become idle indefinitely, and
much of it will be lost, because no
indemnity is provided for. 1t also is
calculated that 10000 persons will be
thrown out of employment.

Boston, Mass, June 30.-The we'd
ding of Miss Marion Lawson, second
daughter of Thomas w. Lawson, the
well-known financier, and James Full
Ter Lord, of Chicago, took place to-
day at ''Dreamwold," the Lawson
country home. 1t was a keen disap-
pointment to society that the we'd
ding was a quiet one, with the invi-
tations confined to about one hundred
relatives and intimate friends of the
two families. The ceremony was a
very picturesque one, taking place as
it did beneath an old apple tree in the
midst of eleven acres of roses in full
bloom.
The Rev John w. Suter, of Win
chester officiated. Mrs. Eben Stan
wood was the matron of honor, and
the bride was attended by her sisters,

Lawson. Following the wedding GER
emony the bridal couple and guests
adjourned to Dreamwold Hall, where
an elaborate luncheon was served.

TYPHOID PROMULGATOR.
The Ubiquitous House FLY Its Chief
Spreading Agent.

The activity and fecundity of the
typhoid fly is remarkable il it has
access to stable deposits. 1t deposits
about 120 eggs in batch. In about
ten days these eggs are Matched, and
in ten days perfect flies are developed.
These young flies pair promptly, and
then thousands of flies are produced.
The department at Washington says
the fly deposits by "specking" even
more possible pestilence than it car
ries on it's legs. Between the two it is
the unmistakable bearer of at least
three-fourths of the typhoid germs
that affiict mankind
If stable men could be induced or
compelled to keep all stable deposits
where flies cannot reach them the
multiplication of flies would be re-
duced. But after fly gets to work
then the insanitary clubhouse becomes
source of constant danger.
after ALL" says the Cincinnati En-
quirer, ''the best safeguard is this:
Screen your doors and windows Sc
curely against this pest and see that
the screens, if broken at any time,
shall be promptly and tightly closed
up. Have conveniently at hand in
safe places, for the pests that sneak
through, well-arranged and distrib-
uted fly poisons. They your home
may be kept secure against these an
noying and murderous things Of six
legs and millions of bacteria. You
will not then take into your stomach
as you eat or drink, the typhoid, the
cholera, the bowel complaint or any
of the other troubles, not excepting
tuberculosis that are being so indus
triously distributed by these little de-
mons at the rate of a tspeck' eacf
every five minutes in addition to the
loads on their bodies and legs. Tha
annoying fly that trails it's pestilen
tial deposits over your butter an6
bread and meat, and that finally sinks
into the milk or cream to drop a few
hundreds of thousands of these bac
terra, may have just flown to you from
the feculence of typhoid deposits or o
consumption"

CROP CONDITIONS.
Everything Points to Satisfactory
Haryests and Good Times Ahead.

sWorld-wide returns for the con-
cluding week in June bring upon the
whole assurances of substantial prog
ress in crop conditions says the
Wall Street Journal. ''The more fa-
yorable accounts are from the south
ern hemisphere, including India,
where monsoon rains have come in
time to facilitate the seeding of the
new grain crops and to further the
growth of those now in the ground.
OF European countries the British
prospects are easily the best. Har-
vesting in Spain and southern France
as well as Italy has progressed to the
point at which something as to the
annual yield is ascertainable. Cen
trail and eastern Europe show mixed
conditions with rather doubtful gains
in Germany, Austria and Russia. Med
iterranean countries are beginning to
move new crop grain, although prices
have lost little if anything of their
firmness. At home first winter wheat
deliveries at primary markets sold for
$1.20 bushel.
Domestic crop matters have
changed their aspects somewhat with
the arrival of genuine summer tenn
perature. Reports of damaging heat
in Texas and other cotton belt dis
tricts do not, however, appear from
weather records to have been extreme
except locally. Conditions for field
work, in the harvesting of winter
wheat, in the cultivation of cotton and
in plowing corn, have been the best
thus far this season. Middle Gulf re-
gions complain of too much rain for
working cotton, and for this reason
mainly the trade expects some loss of
condition in the governments report
on Friday next. The crop which has
turned to best advantage the rising
temperature, as the month closes, is
corn. Railway authorities continue
to give encouraging reports on corn
and oats, as we'll as spring wheat.
From what is thus far known the
Northwest from the Lakes to the Pa
cif1c, will probably produce record
crop of wheat and smaller grains"

DEPOSIT GUARANTEE IN KANSAS.
Law Passed by Last Legislature Goes
Into Eject Today.

Topeka, Kan, June 30.-The bank
last session OF the Kansas legislature
goes into effect today. While the law
will affect only such banks as elect
to comply with it, it is expected that
all of the TIT state banks in Kansas
will place themselves under its provi-
sions without delay.
The banks, under the new law, are
to be partners in sort of mutual in
surance company. They will have to
put up a million dollars in state and
national securities to guarantee the
payment of deposits, and the dues or
insurance premiums will be only one
twentieth of one per cent. annually.
Briefly stated, the law provides for
protection to the following classes of
deposits: Those that do not bear in
terest time certificates payable in
less than six months from date and
not extending more than one year,
bearing interest not to exceed 3 per
cent. per annum and on which inter
est shall cease at maturity; savings
accounts not exceeding in amount
500 to any one person and not sub
ject to check upon which the bank has
reserved in writing the right to re-
quire sixty days notice of withdrawal,
and bearing interest at not to exceed
3 per cent. per annum. Deposits
which are. primarily discounts or
money borrowed by the bank, and all
deposits otherwise secured, are not
guaranteed under the act.
Just what effect the new law is to
have on the national banks appears
uncertain. The Department of Justice
at Washington having decided that
the national banks could not partici-
pate in the guarantee feature of the
Kansas law, the banks themselves
have started movement to organize
an insurance company among them
selves to insure deposits in theil
banks. Eventually, however, it is ex
pected that many of the nationa
banks, especially those in the smalleI
towns, will decide to denationaliz'
and become state institutions in orde
to participate in the guaranty law.

the WOOD|tl MURDER
Corners Verdict a aCeInpro-
e---Eastman Guilty
or Accessory.
Eastman's Remains Buried Early Sun.
day Morning 1t Was Lonely
and Solemn Affair and No
Minister Officiated.

St. Michaels. Nd. June 28.-The
verdict of the coroner's jury in the
Woodill murder case was .'that East
man killed Edith May Thompson
Woodill, or was an accessory to the
murder"
It was a compromise verdict. as
four of the members of the jury re-
fused to sign until the words 'was ac-
cessory to the murder" was added.
The theory that Edith May Woodill
was lured to Lame Bob" Eastman's
lonely bungalow without knowledge
of where she was going and that she
was drugged and detained there
against her will, was advanced yester-
day, when a further search of the
shack, which the superstitious folk of
the neighborhood forevermore will
shun as haunted, revealed small
bottle which hasty examination
shows contained a mixture of narcot-
ic drugs. There were strong traces of
morphine in the nearly empty phial.
This discovery tends to bear out the
theory which the people of the COM
munity who knew the girl long have
wanted to believe. They never listen
ed to the idea that she was involved
in a drunken orgy at the bungalow
and have contended that she lost her
life in repulsing the advances of the
man who acknowledged his guilt by
out his life when it seemed
that the hands of the law were about
to be laid upon him.
