VEGETABLES DECREASING.

Arkansas has been favored so far this season with an unus- ually supply of all kinds of veg etables. The produce raised has considerably more than supplied local requirements and consider able shipping has been done in consequence. Continued hot wea- ther, however such as has been experienced in many parts of the state during the past three weeks will totally destroy practically every thing in the vegetable line
 The outlook for apples is good. It is estimated that there will be between sixty and seventy five per cent Of a full crop. El- berta peaches are moving rapid ly. The crop is extremely short and will not make much more than twenty per cent of a nor mal yield. Potatoes are above the average both in quantity and quality. A number of commission merchants have purchased them as low as twenty-five cents a bushel. Last year it was difficult to secure them at less than sevl- enty-five cents. A great many po- ta toes are being held by the farmers on account of the low price and the supply being held is decaying on account of the hot weather.
 The weather is doing one good thing stimulating the demand for lemons. Not for several years it is stated. has the lemon busi- ness been so flourishing

DEMOCRATS BEAT
 THE REPUBLICANS
By Score of 20 to I6 House Minority De- feats Representatives of the DOmi-
 nant Party in Washington.

Washington, July 16 - With Uncle Joe Cannon looking on and powerless to call the minor ity to order or bring in a special rule shutting off base hits, the Democrats of the House of Rep fo>nntativts walloped al sorts of torifr scht dules out of the RepIo- llcans at American League park toda.7 and won the most fam ous congressional baseball game on record by the thrilling score of PC to 1G. The minority wanted to make it 16 to 1 but the Re- publicans defeated the propOsi- tion once again.
 The Democratic victory the first of the extra session. was followed by a c.oudburst.. The deluge did not descend until the seven-inning battle had ended with the stout members all puff fling and groggy from running bases and chasing balls and the lean members prone on the grass from exhausted energy. The crowd which witnessed this game was equally weary-from laugh ter. The throng included most of the distinguished government of ficials and they barely had time to reach their homes from the ball park when the heaviest thun- derstorm of the summer broke over the city and all of Wash

WARM WEATHER
 KILLS THE BUGS
High Temperature May be Hard on Man and Beast of Burden but It Certain. ly Plays Havoc With the Boil
 WeeyiIS.

Although the intensely hot weather of the last few days may have 6een hard on man and his beasts of burden it has also been hard on the boil weevi which is accredited to be one of the severest enemies that the. cotton boil has. In fact it is stat ed by experts that the boil wee vii cannot live in intensely hot weather provided the weather is dryl
 Guy R. Tuccker commissioner of mines, manufactures and agricul- ture says that hot and dry wea- ther is one of the best methods that nature affords to rid the country of the boil weevil.. If the weevils fall into the burning hot soil they do not long survive.
 The federal government has taken notice of this fact and has advised cotton planters to devise some means of making the weevils fall into the hot soil. The weevil it is explained cur,s up and drops from the plant on the least disturbance, If they curl up and drop into the hot soil they scorch to death and do not again bother the plant
 The government has advised cotton planters to drive a horse or a mule between the cotton rows being careful to see that the legs of the animal touch the plants. In this way each plant will be jared and consequently thousands of weevils will fall off into the hot soil and be kil.- ed Of course this heroic treat ment most be given to the plant on a hot day after the sun has dried up the dew. If the bugs are bumped off in damp or cool soil they will soon crawl up on the plants again and the work of the planter will have been of no avail
 It is stated that the boil weevii will curl up and drop from the cotton stalk as soon as the plant is struck 1t is not claimed that all of the weeviis can be killed in this manner but it is @sald that thousands of the bugs may thus be slain.

Bear, may soon become the property
of David NJ. Hickman of New York.
president of the Frisco Mining COM
pany, limited 1t Is reported that aft
er securing ownership of all the Frisco
mining company's properties, Mr.. Hick,
man Will again begin operating the big
concentrating MILL which has been
closed down for the past year.
Suit was entered in the district
court today by Attorney c. w. Beale,
representing Mr.. Hickman, seeking to
foreclose mortgage of $150,000 on
the mining company's extensive prop
critics. In the complaint the plaintiff
asks that the various mining claims,
water rights, realty holdings and the
mill at Frisco be sold by the sheriff
of Shoshone county and that the pro-
ceeds be used to satisfy his claim
against the company.
The local mining men believe that
the outcome Of the foreclosure will be
the immediate commencement of act
i've operations in the development of
the mining companys properties.
Hickman has long desired to obtain
complete control of the concern. If
the mine and mill are operated at full
capacity employment will be given to
several hundred men. About IS months
ago the mill resumed operations for a
time, but it ran with a small force for
six months ana was then again shut
down.
