CROP SHORTAGE
REPORTED IN EAST
Letter From Large Fruit and Produce
Firm Says Prices VIII
BE Good.
CHICAGO, May 9. 1910.

CHICAGO, May 9, 1910.
EDITOR HERALD.
We beg to advise in the past fifteen
days we have had several frosts in
Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota.
Missouri, Nebraska. Kansas, Iowa.
Illinois and southern counties in
Michigan. In all of these the fruit
crop is practically ruined. None of
them, however, are heavy fruit pro-
ducers, with the exception of Michi-
gan, Illinois and Missouri. In the
others a sufficient quantity of fruit is
grown usually to supply the local
wants Tor a good share of the season.
and in some instances shipments are
made to the principal markets.
The percentage of frost damage to
the total crop produced in the United
States will not be so great, but it will
tend to widen the territory and de-
mand for the fruit in all of these
states, and OF course make the out
look that much better for the sec
lions that have crop. New York
has had no frost damage, neither has
Pennsylvania, Virginia or the New
England states. The weather during
the blooming period in all of these
states has been cool and rainy, very
unfavorable for the fertilization o. the
bloom. For this reason we doubt
very much if the crop will be any
where near as large as the bloom
would indicate. even in the states
where no frost damage has occurred.
The indications for peach crop from
Georgia and Texas are very favorable,
especially 50 in Texas The crops from
the sections will begin moving the
middle of June and last until about
the end of July. The strawberry and
early vegetable crop throughout the
middle west has suffered severe dam
age and receipts will necessarily be
very light. Under the circumstances
we feel confident that reasonable
prices can be expected iOr western
fruit the coming season.
We expect to be in close touch with
the fruit situation in this section and
will be very pleased to advise you as
the crop develops.
Yours very truly,
DENNEY & COMPANY.

FAMILY QUARREL ENDS
IN W|FE'S SUICIDE
Toppenish Woman Takes Own
Life When Husband Accuses
Her Of Drinking Liquors.

TOPPENISH Wash, May 10
While quarreling with her husband,
who is alleged to have accused the
woman of drinking which started the
tragic outburst, Mrs. Rosa Saunder
ended her life here late Sunday by
shooting herseT in the temple with
a .22-calibre revolver. The end was
no less tragic than it was sudden, the
woman dying almost instantaneously
after the shot was fired.
An examination by Coroner Rosser
showed that the bullet entered the
right side of the head and found
lodgment in the brain.
Mrs. Saunder is reported to have
been the victim of an exceedingly I'M
happy life. Her first husband is now
serving a sentence in the state peni-
Tertiary and her last marriage is said
to have been a sad one.
According to the story of the hus-
band of the suicide. the couple were
seated in one of the rooms of their
home when, during the height of a
quarrel. the husband accused his wife
of drinking Mrs. Saunder, without a
sign OF warning, crossed the room
took the revolver from a dresser
drawer and fired the fatal shot before
her husband could raise hand tc
prevent her.
Although a physician arrived or
the scene of the suicide with a few
minutes after the shot was fired, the
woman was dead before the doctor
entered the house.
Among the citizens of Toppenish
Mrs. Saunder was held in high es
TEEN and was thoroughly trust
worthy She is reported to have beer
worth several thousands of dollars
