Nothing so amuses. and occasion

the phlegmatic manner in which an
Euglishwoman conyerses. OF the art
oi gesture she seems to know and
care absolutely nothing. Her talk
lacks all the accompaniment Of
rhythmic appropriate movement for
she talks only with her tongue. You
cannot express yourself only with
your tongue-that is to say, you can
not if you wish TO convey your
thoughts effectively; for the tongue
even of an Englishwoman, is only
one of the instruments of speech.
And that is why the talk Of an Eng
lishwoman is so ineffective. That is
why her thoughts might just as well
be conveyed by a printed book or a
.phonograph She tells you that she
loves 'madly, passionately," in the
same tone and with the same manner
that she orders a leg of mutton at
the butchers. On meeting you she
protests that she is delighted to see
you with the same air that she an
nounces that it is likely to rain. A
dreadful alamity-someone has been
run over: has failed on the Stock Ex-
change; her child has broken his leg;

TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.

Last Saturday on the affidavit OF
w. A. Coughanour, and several 9TH
er parties DIR. T. A. Kimmel was ad-
Judged INDECENT by Justice Tim Dris-
coll and consigned to the county poor
farm. On arriving at Caldwell his
condition was such that the county
physician ordered him taken to the
hospital in Boise where at the ex-
pense of the county he will receive
proper care.
The DIR. has been failing for some
time past and year ago was sent
to Blackfoot as an insane ward
from which place he was released on
parole. He returned to Payette and
since that time has lived very
precarious existence, and from the
use of opiates and general failing
of health had arrived at a condition
when he was no longer able to
care for himself For the last few
weeks the neighbors had been look
ing after him as best they could and
those best acquainted with his case
will agree that the disposition made
of him was the best for the unfortu-
nate man.

BILE to get at the present time.
r. H. Whyte, writing from St.
Louis on April %, says:
Around ST. Louis and many parts
/ Of this section the damage to fruits
has been immense. Judging by reports
North of Us last Friday and Saturday
there were billiards.; on Saturday in
I St. Louis it was cold and the tenn
/ perature ranged from Is to SO. Snow
started to fall the night OF the 2srd
and was still falling at 1O:O0 a. m.
Sunday the gath, with the thermome-
ter ranging around 25 above and
strong wind blowing from 600 a. m.
to nearly noon, after which it mOder-
ated but again frOze little last
night. The cold wave continued south
and frost is reported at Shreveport,
La. and Atlanta, Ga, with killing
frosts in many places. The damage
south Of us is heaviest on vegetation,
still fruits must have been hit too.
Cotton crops are reported ruined, as
are beans, peas. tomatoes. etc.
Reports around st. Louis indicate
that grapes are killed, while no one
looks for much if any cherries, plums,
pears. peaches or apples. OF course
there may be a few apples in places,
while the Ozarks will probably have
IS per cent Of a crop. which at that
may be large, as the trees were heav-
ily loaded. over in Illinois the dam
age was worse if anything and total
losses to fruits are reported from
many points. Being more level over
there, the wind had a better sweep,
while the temperature at soma points
was down to 20.
Summing up and allowing for
some recovery on account Of cloudy
cool weather today and probably to-
morrow one cannot help but realize
that the fruit crops at best will be
indeed meagre this year in the states
this central zone. Straw
berries have had protection in some
places from the snowfall but much .
damage has also resulted. When the
sun has been out a while it will be
possible to better estimate losses.

FROST INJURIES fruit
IN The MIDDLE WEST
But Crops on Both Atlantic and
Pacific Coasts Will Be
Excellent.

Washington, June 13.-Splendid
prospects for fruit in New England and
the Pacific coast states almost counter
balance the poor showing of the CEN
trail states, where early frost got in
telling work, according to a report
made public by the department Of
agriculture on general crop growth.
The condition of the apple crop is
reported to be more than s points be-
a normal condition. The 1O-year aver
age for apples Is 69.S. In New Eng
lane and on the Pacific coast the crop
promises to be immense, but in such
big apple states as Ohio and Missouri
there will be only about one-third of
a crop.
On the other hand, the peach crop,
due to the excellent prospects in such
tates as Georgia and Delaware, prom
ises to be larger than last year, the
condition on June 1 being $40 as com
pared with 54.i last year. l. a 10
year average of $50. The central states
will produce a poor crop, 1t appears
now.
Frost evidently nipped the briar
blossoms, for the condition of black
berries was estimated at 500,
with 900 last year, and for the last
foul years. Raspberries were esti-
mated at 1872 as compared with rs. a
last year and S2.1 the four-year aver
age.
The watermelon and the canteloupe
crops will be slightly off. it appears as
the former was estimated at 7O.4 as
compared with S1.5 a year ago, and the
latter IT'S as compared with s1.8 a
year ago. Sugar cane was reported
84.7 as compared with 9O.6, and sugar
beets at 90.5 as compared with $50

MORE PROSECUTIONS
IN THE SUGAR CASE
Special Attorney Hints at Others
Who Will Be Caught
in Net.

New York, June l4.-Hint of further
prosecution in connection with the SUI
gar underweighing frauds was given
today by Special Prosecutor Henry L.
Stirnson, when the two men convicted
last night were brought up for SEN
tence.
Preceding this a respite was won by
Charles r. Heike M Ernest w. Ger
bracht. Judge Martin suspended SEN
tence until August 30, pending an APP
peal. Bail was fixed at $25, 900 each.
the present bail of S., 900 for Heike and
$4,000 for Gerbracht being continued
until Wednesday. James F. Benderna-
gel was paroled on his own recognize
ance. 1t is considered doubtful If his
case Is further prosecuted.
James A. Halligan, the checker. and
Harry w. Walker, the assistant dock
superintendent, who pleaded guilty dur
ing the present trial, were sentenced to
three months each on Blackwells Is
land. Sentence in the case of Jean
Voelker, who is confined to his bed in
a dying condition, was suspended.
Adding to their attorneys plea for
clemency for Halligan, Voelker and
Walker, Prosecutor Stimson made the
announcement thai since the men had
pleaded guilty they had made a full
confession and the government now
was acting on the information that had
been received from the men. This ap-
peared to foreshadow further prosecu-
tons and caused something of a sen.
sation.

from time to time sending out for
transcripts of testimony particularly
referring to Heike. But it was Bender
nagePs case that caused the long ses-

lots were taken.
This ends the governments second

responsible for the vast underweighing
frauds to which the so-called trust has
virtually confessed by the restitution
