FRIDAY, MARCH 2ft, 19pl.

FROM now on the crop situation wiVf become a more important factor. Winter wheat is reported in "good condition and farmers are holding much smaller stocks of wheat than usual. The,stocks of corn in farmers' hands are also smallevthan at any other time during the last six years. In the United States the growers of wheat, corn, cotton, and many other agricultural products are better off than for many years, and this affords a basis for continued prosperity that'should not be overlooked.

SOME concern was manifested over the prospects of a rupture between Russia and England in the far east. Such sensations may be expected at any time. Russia continues her slow but irrepressible] policy of land grabbing, and seems determined to take from China a considerable portion of her possessions but she is more likely to accomplish her purpose by maintaining a policy of steady pressure, yielding when she must in preference to war. Russia, with her tremendous schemes of governmental enterprise and heavy tinancial obligations, is in no condition for war. A struggle with Japan or Great Britain would involve Russia in bankruptcy and set her back a quarter of a century.

LI::: CLEWS sees nothing discouraging in our trade outlook. He says: "The trade situation is generally satisfactory. Here and there signs of reaction from last year's activity, such as in the-textile industries., can be noted, but this is by no means general. On the contrary there are reasons for believing that the expansion in busiuess will continue for some time to come. The phenomenal activity in the iron trade shows no suggestion of abating the demand for steel and iron products being very largely the result of the great variety of new uses to which steel is being applied and to the great demand for structural materials. Along the Pacific coast there is wonderful development in progress not only in oil, but in other natural resources in which that region abounds. This development of our natural riches will be the basis of business expansion for some time to come, to say nothing of foreign fields which are rapidly opening to American capital and enterprise."

A DEMOCRATIC l'OLICY.

Republicans are beginning to realize that congressional action may be necessary to stop the wholesale disfranchisement of voters in southern states. Senator Burrows, of Michigan, who will be chairman of the senate committee on privileges and elections, said on the subject: "The new Maryland ballot law is very likely to bring to the attention of congress various so-called disfranchisement laws, and open up the whole question of representation in congress on the basis of men who are not legal voters under state laws. Congress does not desire to discuss these subjects, but, in my opinion, the question will be forced upon us for determination by the unwise action of some of the states. We have now before us the example of a great state, endeavoring to disfranchise some 50,000 citizens in order to give one political party control of the legislature. There is no fear of negro domination. That is not the excuse for the law. Certain Democrats seek to control the affairs of the state, and to accomplish this purpose to disfranchise a sufficient number of the opposite party. It is nothing more than this." As Senator Burrows sees it, the question presents three phases: "The effect disfranchisement has on the basis of representation on the lower house the propriety of accepting senators in congress who have been elected by legislatures elected after a large number of voters were disfranchised so that the legislatures would be favorable to certain men, and the public policy of permitting political parties to disfranchise a large number of their opponents to maintain their dominant position in the state."

AN OLD RESIDENT GONE.

Mrs. Magdalene Busenbark Died Thursday, Morning After a Long Illness.

Yesterday at seven o'clock a. m. Mrs. Magdalena Busenbark died at her home on east. Main street, after an extended illness. The funeral will occur" this afternoon at two o'clock, interment at Masonic cemetery.

Mrs. Busenbark would -have been eighty-nine years old had she lived until the fifth of next August and she had passed about half of her extended life as a resident of Crawfordsville. She was the widow of James Busenbark, who died here over twenty-five years a£o, and was the sister of his fii-st wife. She had no children, but the children of hor husband and sister inherit her property. She was a native of Ohio, and her maiden name was Good. During her long residence here she made warm friends of all with whom she was associated and dies regretted by those who knew her.

Death of Mrs. Rachel Cook. Rachel S. Rice was born in Knox county, Ohio, July 30. 1832, departed this life 1:4(1 p. m.. March 21, 1901, surrounded by her children, aged 68years, 7 months and 21 days. She moved with her parents to this county in November, 1847, and settled on the farm now occupied by R. C. Harper. She was married to Charles W. Cook Sept. 10, 184S. To this union were born seven children, Hiram, William, Francis Charles, Clarville, Louisa and Olive, the eldest dying in infancy.

Being left a widow by the death of her husband Fob. 7, 1808, she was thrown on the cold charities of the world with no help save that of six little chi'iren. She was united in marriage again, this time to Christian D. Cook, August 28, 1870. This union was blessed with two daughters, Alice and Sarah, who with the six older children survive her. Being left a widow a second time by her husband's death July 8, 1897. her remaining days have been spent in her old home surrounded by her children and friends.

Deceased united with the United Brethrentchurch at the old Long school house under the pastorate of Rev. Thomas Hamilton in the winter ol 18(32. This church being discontinued, she transferred her membership to Campbell's Chapel and later to Potato Creek. She was an active Christian worker during hor earlier life, but being an invalid for almost twenty years, her church attendance has been very limited yet her life has always been an exemplary Christian one and she died in full faith of a Christian's reward. Truly, her children can rise up and call her blessed. The funeral was conducted from the home at 2 p. m., Saturday, March 23, 1901, by the pastor, Bro. Crowder, in a vory earnest and sympathetic way from Psalm 35-14: "I bowed down heavily as ono that mourneth for his mother." Interment at the Rice cemetery.

IN MEMOIiY OF MRS. RAC11BL COOK.

The house seems so lone and deserted. And our hearts are breaking and sore For Mother has gone on a journey,

And we know she will come back nevermore.

The hooks she loved, and her Bible. Lay where she left them th'jre, The work-box, and thimble, are Idle,

Anil idle her easy chair.

lJut don't think of the busy fingers as idle, Or the dear form silent and cold For .she walks in the flush of God's sunlight,

And her lingers are trying with liarpstrings of gold.

And then in the sometime we'll meet her From earth's sorrows, and trials set free: Meet Mother andiFather. and loved ones.—

What a glorious time that will be.

Lord Kitchener's Latest Dispatch Shows Active Operations. London. March 28.—A dispatch from Lord Kitchener to the war office says: "Our casualties in General Babington's action were two killed and seven wounded. The Hours left 22 dead and 30 wounded. As their pursuit wa rapid, many more Boer casualties an likely. "The operations of March 23 drove the enemy north from their positions at Kaffirs Kraal. On March 27 the pursuit was continued by mounted men only. The enemy's rear guard was driven in hy a combined move inent on both iianks. Their convoy was ihen sighted at Leeuwfontein The Civys. New Zealauders and bush men pushed on. The enemy attempted to lake up a position, hut the Greys and other troops rode down all opposition and gave him no chance." The convoy was ridden into and the ene iny's retirement became a rout. The pursuit was continued until the horses were exhausted.''

London. March 28.—The Pretoria and Itloenifontein correspondents of The Times send long dispatches admitting that Lord Kitchener's policy and operations have failed to achieve ti.e results hoped for and pointing out that the British public must, be prepared to return to the original policy of occupying districts and studding the country with military posts as the only means of effecting complete pacilicalion. This process, the correspondents say. will occupy much time and necessitate a constant supply of fresh troops. Tne strain on both officers and men has been and will be immense, and arrangements must be made to send absolutely fresh troops to the front in order to enable the others to he sent home. "Unless this aspect of the case i- grasped by the authorities," I lie advices to The Times say, "there is a possibility of the war lasting for years, li is quae useless to renew peace negotiations. Nothing approaching 'terms.' as the word is generally understood, would be politic or even possible with the Boers."

If you prefer Installment insurance, paying one-fifth each year, lean fit you out. Will be glad to talk it over with you.
