D. PAYING A FOOL WAGER.
Bet That If Jeffries Was Defeated He
Would Bury His Shadow.

Having bet that if jim Jeffries was
defeated by Johnson he would bury
his shadow Barney Gegen of George
town, Pa, was compelled by the win
ner, Richard Stovey, to make the eff
fort to fulfill the conditions &C.
gen, in fear of being ridiculed, put
off the attempt until the other night.
when Stovey and several friends in
sisted that he pay up. He asked if
he could name his time, was given
permission to do so, and said that
he would do it at midnight. Stovey
agreed.
The party repaired to a field near
their homes. Gegen thought his ruse
was successful, and said he had no
shadow at night; but Stovey and his
friends lighted lanterns and created
one. Gegen was then compelled to
dig grave, stand so that the black
outline of his body was within it,
and to then fill it in, much to the
merriment of Stovey and his friends.
When the grave was filled the shad-
Ow was still apparent, but they alb
solved Gegen from his vow.

CROP OUTLOOK Is BAD.
Too Wet or Too Dry Has Wrought
Untold Damage.

A Louisville, Ky, dispatch says:
With clOudbursts and drouths spot
ting the Kentucky map and a great
overplus of rain in Tennessee and
southern Indiana the crop situation
for nearly two hundred miles north,
east, south and west of Louisville
has reached an acute stage. Too wet
or too cry weather has not only cut
the product of the truck gardens and
small fruit farms full 80 per cent,
but has wrought untold damage to
the staples-corn, wheat and tobac-
co. Excepting corn and in some ia
vOred locations tobacco, the time for
replanting has nearly passed with
no prospects for recupeTatiOn in
these crops.
Glover hay, potatoes, ETC., are rot
ting in the fields Some Kentucky
counties have not been visited by
good rain since May list. On the
other hand, northern Kentucky, Ten
nessee and southern Indiana were
visited by general heavy rains for
seven successive days, which, in some
sections, were veritable clOudbursts.
The general crop situation in cOnse-
quence is the most discouraging in
many years. Traffic delays have been
numerous, but trunk lines thus far
have managed to get their trains
through without general tie-ups.
Reports have reached here from
north Alabama OF the serious situa-
tion in the farming districts on ac-
count of the continued rains.
The damage to the cotton crop,
especially, is causing serious appre-
hensiOn. Some cotton fields will
have to be abandoned on account of
the rains. Oats have been cut and
are rotting in the field
In many counties of middle Ten
nessee wheat is sprouting in the
shocks.
