weather, crops. etc.:
Since my last we have had very
fine weather, thermometer at about
SO every morning and evening and
about 20 to so at noon. We had al
most four weeks without rain, the
last of which we ran our irrigation
plant night and morning for four
days, then we had nice showers three
days in succession which made 1t
unnecessary to run it more. We are
enjoying the most delightful nights
ever witnessed for more than Il
month past, cool and pleasant but
not cold enough to need any extra
clothing.
We still enjoy the beautiful mi
rage on the lake nearly every morn

my powers of description. Once in a
while we see an alligator on the lake
which is of sufficient curiosity to stir
up a little eXcitment but none have
been caught yet by any of the fam

NO CLOUD ON BUSINESS
HORIZON, SAYS REPORT

Chicago, Aug. 11.-There is no
cloud on the business horizon, ac-
cording to the Annual Business Re-
view of the Continental National
bank of this city, now being pre-
pared for distribution. The adj
vance summary of the report says:
General business in this country
is showing a degree of confidence
and courage that is both reassuring
and remarkable, in view of the rath-
er strained credit situation abroad
This confidence and courage all
through the middle west, and in fact
the entire United States, is gener-
ally accepted as indicative of a
sound business situation. The most
striking feature of the advices to
the Continental and Commercial
National bank, referring to the ag-
ricultural prospects and business
outlook, is the absence of pessimism
in face OF a rather high and tight
money market"

will arrive at Fort Leavenworth
August 10, on their tour of inspec'

tary Garrison will decide whether
Fort Leavenworth is to be abandon
ed or built into one of the largest
army posts OF the country.
It is almost a certainty that the
post not only will be retained but
will be made one OF the most i'm
portant in the United States. When
the secretary arrives he will find
only one squadron of the Fifteenth
cavalry stationed here, but that Is
expected to make little difference In
his decision. Twelve thousand
troops which formerly were sta
toned at the post now are in camp
inTexas. The secretary and his par
ty who are making a tour OF every
army post of the country, and thus
far has ordered that many Of the
smaller posts be abandoned, now
are in Yellowstone park. When the
inspection ends there the party will
come direct to Leavenworth.

planned to sail today.
General Felix Diaz was appoint
ed special envoy to japan on July

SALT WATER is CURE
FOR CANE POISONING

Ellsworth, Aug. 1.-THE extreme
dry weather has added another
source of distress to the farmers in
Ellsworth county. 1t is the great
number of deaths among the cattle
due to eating green cane and kaffir
corn. The cattle are driven almost
crazy from hunger-the pastures are
dry and brown-any many break
away from their grazing lands and
forage in the cane fields. Death
results very soon after eating the
poisonous greens-often in 10 min
utes.
After losing an immense number
of cattle, a we'll known dealer dis
covered that a pint of salt dissolved
in a quart of water and given to
the animal Immediately win effect
a positive cure. Over 200 head
have died in the county this month.
