ln Memory of Mrs. Louisa Dykes. Louisa D. Smith was born in Mississippi Nov. 17, 1844, and died at her home two miles west of Colfax, Ind Aug. 27, 1901. aged 56 years, 9 months and 10 days. She was married to James Dykes January 16, 1869. To them were born nine children, seven of whom with the husband survive her, a son dying a little more than a year ago and a daughter in infancy. For several years Mrs. Dykes had been a great sufferer with consumption and her death has been apprehended for some time.
Although in pain almost beyond human endurance, when not under the influence of medicine, she was 'conscious and greeted her friends with a smile and kind word, and when asked how she was would say, "I am resting, or did rest easy," whichever it might be. Never complaing but always patient and often thinking and suggesting something to be done for other sufferers.
She united with the Christian church at Coifax in June, 1900, and it was a great pleasure to her to worship there when her health permitted. On the afternoon of the last meeting day her pastor and the choir came to her home and prayed and sang. She listened with tears rolling down her cheeks and looking into the face of one of the watchers after her eyes had been raised heavenward, said, "I am all right."
She was ready to go and often wished for death to relieve her of her misery. She is not dead but sleepeth, and if we could raise the veil and look into eternity a frail hand would beckon us on. Some day—and yes it may be soon —we'll cross the dark waters and meet mother with arms outstretched to welcome us to our Savior's home. X.

IN CAY NEW YORK.
Our Old Friend, Carrie Nation, Locks Horns With Police Commissioner Murphy.
A dispatch from New York says: "Mrs. Carrie Nation arrived in this city to-day and had a stormy interview with Police Commissioner Murphy before she was ejected from his office. Mrs. Nation also called at John L. Sullivan's saloon to see the pugilist in reference to a statement he was alleged to have made to the effect that he would 'throw her into the sewer.' Sullivan sent down word that he was ill, but nade an appointment to meet her next Monday. She then went to see Archbishop Corrigan, but he was out of town. "When Mrs. Nation entered police headquarters she was shown at once to Commissioner Murphy's room. She said she had called on him for an account of his stewardship and hadjcome here to do the city pome good. 'You do not know what you are talking about,' said Commissioner Murphy. 'Go back to Kansas andjstay there. If you want to do something why don't you do it for your husband:" 'I have no husband now,' said Mrs.
Nation. 'I suppose you know all about that matter, 'Oh, yes,' said Commissioner Murphy.

Government Crop Bulletin. The showers continued jat intervals during the week, resulting in|a marked improvement in the condition of all late crops not rulned-fcby the long drought. Many of the corn fields previously thought to be beyond recovery will be reclaimed, and, with [the improved condition of the late planted and lowland crops, the aggregate yield will be largely increased. The discouraging condition of the late potato crop was somewhat relieved! by the rains, but poor prospects continue. Aslmany gardens were ruined before the drought ended many farmers are planting late vegetables.
There is a general improvement In the condition of late tomatoes acd pickles, with good prospects of a fair output from the factories. Apples are exceptionally fine, and prospects generally continue fairly good. Peaches and plums are plentiful peaches are small. The improvement in pastures will materially aid in the preservation of feed for winter use. Buckwheat is promising. Plowing was general- over the state, retarded occasionally by showers.
