Tobacco Crop Will Be Small.

report of conditions in the group of
Burley tobacco counties lying below
Cincinnati was brought to the headquar-
ters of the Burley Tobacco Society by
F. l.. Fitzpatrick, who is making head
quarters at Harrison, the receiving
point for Hamilton County. Ohio. and
franklin and Clark counties, Ind. He
says the consensus of opinion in that
section is that the poor-Iooking prospect
Will not make half of an average crop,
and the gu atty is as inferior as in other
counties of the belt.
From the cluster of counties above
Clncinnati-Brown, Clermont, Scioto
and Adams-come reports of discour-
aging conditions, but the promise is for
larger proportion of normal crop A
letter from Hart county announced that
prospects in that locality have fallen to
fifty per cent.
During the week floods destroyed a
large acreage in Davisss, Hancock,
Henderson and Breckinridge counties,
and Improvement generally has not
been reported from any part of the dis
trict. Growers were much discouraged
by rains of the week, which increased
damage that already was enormous, and
Kept hands out Of the fields.
The matter of first concern to the far
mer, after he has counted the curtailed
yield, is the character of his plants, and
the promise as to quality. The average
plant OF 1910 is freak. Over the Bur.
ley district the average number of lea YES
on stalk has bern b, tween elghte. n
and twenty.
This year this proportion has been
cut to between twelve and fourteen.
With the dwarfng of the stalk the
higher grades are almost eliminated
The present growth OF tobacco will be
the genuine ''low grade crop which the
trust buyers have for years harped on.
The abno' NAL plant is the result of
damp-forced budding. Buttons" and
blooms have b, en- taken on;by the infant
plants. The budding requires topping,

wallow. A dark red leaf, with heavy
bones and no oil, will cure into rank
smelling shade plant. Grades for Gig
arctic. wrapper, filler and hne-cus pur
poses will be extremely scarce
Flyings will be rot-ripped. and con-
siderable real estate will hang in tobac-
co barns. What new misadventures
may be in store for the plagued crop
are problrmatical, hut growers are no
longer deceived IA to severe limitations
Of the yield. and assured inferiority in

doubtedly holds sway there.
Governor Wilson has ordered Col.
Bassett to turn over to the civil

Buyers Invited to Big Sale Aug.
I6.

Official announcement Thursday from
the office of Burley Tobacco Society
that tobacco making up the 1909 pool
will be offered for sale Tuesday, Aug
ust 16, conveys to the leaf manufac-
turers and to an army of growers of
White Burley the most important news
to De received since the sale of the
crops in former pools of the society.
The offering consists of about one
hundred and twenty million pounds and
comes upon the market at time when
manufacturers arc in dire need of sup
plies. Stocks have been so depleted
that the prediction of possible suspen-
sion of operations in some quarters
seemed warranted.
Several groups of independents have
been clamoroUS to buy that part OF the
tObaccoo which was steam-dried, but
as this amounted to only about $4,000
hogsheads, and represented only those
counties to which redrying plants
were accessible, the Executive Board
deemed it unwiss to put it upon the
market.
Within the last month counties all
over the district have speeded prizing
and types have been hurried to Lex
ington for official grading. Having
tobacco from every section the board
is now able to establish representa-
tives grades and prices. 1t is given
out that on August 16, at one o'clock
p. M, the society will be in position
to offer the entire crop in pool, or to
consider the sale of only portion.
This sale will be from samples
wearing price tags. and will be more
like the Especial" of some merchants
than any sale of tobacco on record.
The auction feature will be wholly ell

Kentuckians May Collect Claims

Upward of 1000 Kentuckians
have claims against the Government
because they were forced to pay for
substitutes to serve in their stead
hen the Government issued it's two
draft orders in the days of 81 and '65.
These drafts, it having been shown
that Kentucky bad supplied more
than its quota of Federal troops, were
declared to have been unwarranted
and irregular in so far as residents of
this State were concerned. Now nearly
fifty years later the men illesp lily
drafted have filed claims against the
Gov arnment for the sturn OF the
money! sums averaging $300-
which they were forced to pay to to
secure substitutes.
These bills have been before the
Court Of Claims, but many of them
have been made Tout effectively and
were in danger Of being permanently
rejected bad not Senator Bradley sc
cured action which permitted their in
trodl ction in proper form.
Claims efiled in due process will
have standing in the Court of Claims
and will be provided for in the Omni-
bus ppropriation bill of the session
of Congress follwoing their adjudlca-
ton, according to the view of Senator
Bradley.
Many residents of Kentucky, who
have such claims, will be interested in
this statement. The fact that they
were notrraollwed by resolution of Con-
gress at the last session can be taken
by such claimants as an indication, in
that they have no standing. but that
they were not placed before the Court
of Claims in proper form.

cial rules ever adopted BY the house OF

The special rule for the consideration Of
the postal savings bank bill was advocated
by Mr. Murdoch and other gentlemen who.
in the past. complained OF special rules.
In the republican caucus these gentlemen
Who have been opposed to special rules
took the position that they needed a special
rule cutting off all amendments save a
substitute offered by the minority OF the
committee as a means OF protection. They
/ said very frankly to their associates in the
republican caucus that. n the bill were open
to general amendment on the floor Of the
house. the democrats would certainly offer
many amendments which would be en-
barraseing 20 the western members. and
thai they would either be compelled to vote
for those amendments or have very serious
trouble explaining why they had not done

that position 1 think they were justified
and by 50 doing they kicked from under

BOY HURT BY DYNAMITE
Two Fingers and Thumb Blown Off
by Explosion of Cap.

TWO fingers and a thumb blown off
and flesh wound on the chest is the
result of a dynamite cap explosion
which happened In the hands of Ho-
mer, 12-year-old son of Bart c. Har-
mon, No. 42S North Second street.
The lad was playing in the yard
Saturday afternoon and while rummag-
ing in the coal house he found the
cap which caused the accident. Not
knowing what it was and being some
what curious to investigate he went
to the house and went into one of
the front rooms, where he secured a
hatpin and commenced to probe and
pick. The boy was in the room with
his little sister when the accident
happened. The thumb of the left
hand and the first two fingers were
blown off. At the time of the acct
dent the child was holding the cap in
his left hand and using the pin with
his right hand. After the shot went
off he ran to his mother in an adioin-
ing room and assistance was called.
The patient was removed to the hos
pital, where it was necessary to am
putate the first finger at the third
joint and the second finger just below
the second joint. Pieces of clothing
were removed from the flesh wound in
the chest
Where the caps came from Is not
known. The family just moved to the
house on last Monday and had order
ed a load of coal. Whether the caps
had been left there by preceding fam
lilies or whether brought there in the
load of coal Is not known. The Har-
mon family had no such things in
their household and are not response

mite. He had three of the caps, one
Of which had been mashed to some
