OFFICIAL CROP PREDICTION.
Corn 3,ooO,ooO,ooo Bushels, Wheat 1923,
100000 Bushels.

New York, Aug. 1O.-A crop of over
5000, O,0OO,OOO bushels of corn ana T23,-
00O. .OUO bushels of wheat was indicated
in the government report for which
grain markets all over the world and
Wall street especially have been eX-
pcctant for the last week.
The condition of corn was S4.4
against 1913 in July. This reduction of
five points was greater than had been
anticipated, and it showed how much
damage had been done by the COM
bined forces of heat and drought in
some states and floods in others.
A month ago the condition of spring
wheat was 92.7, which was extremely
high. On Aug. it was 91.G. ten points
above ten year average for that date.
The estimated spring wheat crop is
290,000,0OO bushels. which compares
with an actual yield last year of 296,-
100000 bushels. The winter wheat has
practically all been harvested and is
now moving to market so the only in
terest in the report was as to the total
harvest, which was 432 100000 bush
els, or about 100000 short Of the 1908
crop.

JAPAN REBUFFs CHINA.
Says Railroad Question Is Closed and
Won't Neootjate.

Pelkin, Aug. 1O.-The Chinese foreign
board and the grand council have been
in consecutive conference with Prince
Chun. the regent, on the Japanese sit
uation since the issuance Of Japan's
note announcing her intention to pro-
ceed Immediately with the reconstruc-
ton of the Antung-Mukden railroad
without China's cooperation.
The regent showed great anxiety at
Japan's attitude of coercion. which
was supported by Great Britain, and
he urged that the foreign board ac-
celcrnte settlement of the question
in order not to provoke japanese hos
tility.
Grent Britain's support Of Japan In
her aggressive action has made deep
impression on Chinese statesmen, who
point out that Great Britaln's attitude
developed simultaneously with the
war alarm In Europe.
China in her formal reply to Japan's
note asked that japan suspend work
on the Antung- Mukden railway In
Manchuria and stated that China
wishes to continue the negotiations.
China added that she hoped for an
amicable settlement Of all outstanding
differences.
Japan's reply to this request was
firm. 1t was made plain the negotia,
tions concerning the Antung- Mukden
road had been closed forever In 80 far
as they related to that section Of road
between Mukden and Chesiangtun
and that 1t would not be necessary to
suspend work to reach an agreement
upon that one strip.

Don't Tell MY Wife,"

There is nothing in this beautiful
old world of ours, that has as much
attraction for the average man, as
a young and handsome widow.
There seems to be bond of SYM
pathy between all mankind and this
branch of feminity, probably for the
reason that she was bereft of the
cause of all her earthly joys and
sorrows, so early in her young life.
For this reason, the eight Ameri-
can widows, who will be seen here
at the Lyric-with Mr.. Howard
Halls newest musical comedy,
Don't Tell My Wife," on Tuesday
evening, August 18th. are one of
the most interesting features with
this bright and amusing attraction.
They are certainly good to look
at, and they wear some stunning
gowns.

Seventeen.year old Girl Is
Murdered In Cemetery.
BURIED IN NEWLY DUG GRAVE.
Miss Annie Schumacher Had Gone
With Choice Flowers and
Plants to Decorate the
Family Plot.

Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 10.-The po-
lice have a most mysterious and baf-
fling mystery on their hands In the
murder Of pretty Miss Annie Schu'
macher, seventeen years old, whose
body was found in lonely spot in
Holy Sepulcher cemetery. The girl
had been strangled and then beaten
with a heavy stone, which was found
by her head. The slayer after the
murder had dug a grave and buried
his victim.
The spade which was used to bury
the girl was identified us having been
stolen from COW barn of st. Ber-
nards seminary, near the scene of the
murder.
That the victim fought desperately
for her honor and her life was shown
by the battered condition of her body
and her clothing, which was In tatters.
A wound in the head had caused the
blood to soak the ground. The girls
left breast had been torn nearly off.
and her throat showed the effects of
the death grip of her assailant.
The dead girl lived with her mother
Mrs. Mary A. Schumacher, and sisters.
She left home on Saturday afternoon,
carrying choice flowers and plants
with which to decorate graves In the
family plot in the cemetery.
When Miss Schumacher did not
reach home by o'clock Saturday
evening her mother became alarmed
The girl has several married sisters in
the city. and all We're. notified, but
mono had heard from her. Saturday
night one of the brothers-in-aw and a
sister drove down to the cemetery.
and hurried search of the grounds
was made. II was found that she had
visited the cemetery. as the graves
We're newly decorated.
Detectives working on the case be-
licve the girl was followed to the Gem
ctpry by the assassin and attacked as
she was making her way to the gate
on the return. The scene Of the crime
is on the east side of Charlotte boulc-
ward and near the bank of the Gene
see river 1t is a most lonesome spot.
The appearance of the body was hor-
rifying. On the head lay large stone
the weapon used in the murder The
girls face was battered almost beyond
recognition, and there were bruises all
over the body and limbs. The clothing
was torn and d,sarranSed. and there
was every sign in the condition of both
corpse and clothing of the desperate
struggle the girl had made.
Dried blood in the girls finger nails
show that she must have left marks of
her struggle on her murderers face
and there is every hope of apprehend
ing him.
Miss Schumacher was the youngest
of eight sisters. There are also two
brothers in the family. The girl. while
seventeen years of age, looked more
youthful. She was of medium build
and pretty.

DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.
Two Cows Killed by Paris Green
Mixed With Salt.

Friday morning Richard Freethy
and James Smith discovered that
they each had sick COW in the
pasture lot, rented by them and in
which, also, were eight other COWS.
An investigation soon revealed the
cause of the trouble. Piles of salt,
mixed with Paris green, were ar
ranged in wide circle in the lot,
in the centre of which was left a
pail Of water, the pail being fur
nished by the miscreant, who did
the poisoning, in order to make the
job sure. Several other cattle
evidently, from their actions, had
taken some of the salt and poison,
but only the two mentioned have
died.
That Honesdale harbors such a
cowardly miscreant is almost in
credible, and if he is discovered we
shall not feel little sorry for him
for the punishment will be swift and
sure.

Those "StickerS." +"

We wish to suggest that the 20,-
600 seal stickers now being issued
TO advertise Honesdale's Old Home
Week, are not made for the pur-
pose of ornamenting your neigh
boris doors, show-windows, walls,
or anything of the sort, and don't
make a nuisance of yourself by so
doing. Put them on the back of
your letters, postal cards, and on
bundles, boxes or anything of the
kind, which is going outside of
Honesdale. Every one here, who
is not deaf and blind, knows, or
will know, all about it. Send the
stickers out of town. That's the
purpose for which they were con-
structed.
