looked for time as if he might prove
to be a formidable obstacle in Aldrich's
pathway, saying he had no opportunity
to inspect the reprint of the bill as
acted upon by the senate in committee

would not respect the supposed unani-
NOUS consent agreement unless he
could be assured of an opportunity to

Been Connected With Burlington
Schools for Twenty Years.
Burlington. July 7.-Having rounded
out ten years as superintendent of the
Burlington schools, and having served
in the Burlington schools more than
twenty years, Superintendent r. M.
Fultz has handed the local board his
resignation. He is going to accept a
position in Santa Barbara, California.
Principally upon account Of Mrs.
Fultz's health, and also because the
coast had strong fascination for him,
Mr.. Fultz accepted an offer in the
pretty old mission town. His relations
with the board and with the teachers
here at home were quite pleasant, and
no doubt it was no simple matter for
him to break the ties of more than
twenty years, and the inducements
must have been fattering indeed.

THREE Million POUNDS
OF TOBACCO RUINED.
T.
Staad Of Weed in Hopkins County
Cut One Half by Recent
Floods.

jacksonville, Ky, July 13.-Advice
from various sections of Hopkins
county are to the effect that 5000, 900
pounds or one-half of the tobacco crop
In Hopkins county has been ruined
by the recent rains and will be a total
loss The weed has been drowned out
by the rains and the growers in many
instances will lose half of their crop.
The damage TO others is not quite so
heavy but the crop will be reduced one
half and as 1t is too late to plant
another, Hopkins county will show a
big decrease in the production of the
weed this year. The loss will reach
into the thousands. The streams in
many instances have been swollen for
days and the fields have been flood
ed. The water has covered the to-
bacco and has done irreparable dam
age.
1t is estimated that there will be Z
NoNANNSt VI pei NCHl al tAiN
corn crop for this season. The corn
has been beaten down and washed up
by the rains and it is tco late 10 re-
plant this being the case the farmers
will suffer a heavy loss in this re-
spect. The oats crop will show a de-
crease of one-third per cent be-
cause of the rains and the farmers
will not have time to prepare for an
other crop at this time. The farmers
will lose heavily on this crop.
Unthreshed wheat has suffered but
1t is impossible to tell to what extent
at present. Wheat in the STACK is
thought to be damaged but how ihuch
is not known. Meadows have suffer
ed and the hay crop will be reduced
to about one-third OF what it usually
is. Mud is thick in many meadows
and covers the grass for a depth of
several inches. The loss will amount
to thousands Of dollars in Hopkins
county, and 1t is feared that the es-

An Unusual Phenomena.

At about 10 O'Clock Thursday night
many reliable people in and about
Hawesville observed a brilliant phe-
nomena. probably a meteor. which
shot across the heavens and lighted
up the earth as much SO as the
sun does ordinarily In day time
The light lasted but very short
time. probably not more than ten
seconds, and was followed by a
terrific explosion. as If a cannon
had been discharged near town. At
some points of the city small ar
ticles about the house were dis
turbed and there was more or less
evidence of violence. The same OBJ
servations were made at other points
In the country. particularly South
Louisville and Princeton. Ind. which
seems to establish the fact beyond a
doubt that 1t was a meteor and was
more or less generally obserycd.v-Han
