T'ai'.y SentirH, May 2-1.1 Messrs. Hor: field and John f iall.igher, appointed at the Brazil meeting to solicit aiil for the locked-ou: miners of Clay county, are in the city. They visited the court-house yesterday and through the assistance of Mr. Bud Swift received numerous subscriptions find roany word' of eneonragement. Mr. Ilorsfield deicribed the situation among the miners as very crave. There are hetn een 1,700 and l,S:M block coal miners out or employment in Clay county aone. Most vi these miners are heads of families aDd fully half of them arc in want, or soon will be. The charitable people of Indianapolis can not but sympathize with these men and every man's sense of justice will tell him that the cause of the miners is a most righteous one, for the operator? of the mines have been most unreasonable, and have showu a fixed determination to carry the day at whatever the cost. In explaining the cause of the lock-out, Mr. llorsfieid said: "We are asking simple justice between man au J man, nothing more. Wc ask .v cents per ton for mining coal in summer and Ir.) cents in winter. These are the prices agreed upon between the ruiners and operators in other states. Even at these prices a man can earn only a t are existence, I.ut t:ie operators insist on cutting down the scale to 70 ceDts for fjmmtr and 73 cents in winter b cents below the scale. '"The operators admit that during March and j ;i V.-. l. -i x - . i . pront, when the ninety-cent scale was in force, and that, too, when they were practically gettin? only summer prices for their coal, for the winter had been mild and the demand for coal very small. As a sample of the profits, advuitted by the operators, there is one mine that hoists 60 tons per day. The capital of that company is $3,000, though it recently sold for S20.OX. At the admitted profit of 9 .1-5 cents per ton this mine, hoisting '. tons per day, would earn per cent, on its capital each year, and its annual profits would he considerably more than the market value of the mine. So that the statement that the operators can't afford to pay a bisher scale for mining is absurd. "Another thine which shows the utter falsity o; the operators' claim, that they cannot afford to pay mere than 70 and 75 cents, is the action of the operators of bituminous mines who, according to their own statement, make but cents per ton profit. They oiler the men a cale but .5 cents below that of last year. Yet Mock coal operators, who made I) 3-5 cents per ton at the old scale, insist upon a reduction of 15 cents per ton. "The operators will listen to nothing hut submission to their terms. The miners haveotlered and even begg?d for arbitration, but the operator will not grnnt it." Messrs. iIo.-;n-.M and Gallagher will remain in the city for several days, and the people of Indianapolis should contr.hute liberally to their cauv. The situation in Clay county is inor distressing, and thousands of women and children are without the barest necessities of existence. Contributions may be sent to Tim Sentinel, or to J. A. Crouse, Hoosierville, Ind., box '. THE SCHOOL-BOOK RING. How the. Trust Firm Protect Each Other' Interest. Van Antwerp, Br3gg tfc Co., the Indiana .v.oo! Jjvr,i the Indianapolis Journal and utuer nemhers o" organs of the school-book ring hiv-3 repeatedly claimed that no :?a rise w3 in existence. The Sen-TI-VEE has printed more than once a "cr-nfidentiai" nrculir of instructions to the agents of the tru; firms, in which the- existenceof the trust :s set forth, and the rules and j regulations under which it operates are de- j fined.

Angola Herald, As one of the good results of the new school book law. whether its application be practicable or not, the lares establishment of Van Antwerp, Pragg & Co. is already sending out eirculars proposing to furnish books now used to responsible dealers to be suggested and appointed for that purpose, at a price which will allow them to be o!d at the present wholesale rates, and at the same time allow the dealer a profit of 25 per cent, upon the investment. This is some progress in the direction of cheaper books for our children, and that without acrifiee as to quality. It may be possible that other responsible dealers will do even better. The School Fand Loan.

THE KOKOMO POSTOFFICE.

A HIGHLY FLAVORED RADICAL ROW. Other State Intelligence A Lyuchinj ATerted in Jack ton Six Horses linrned Ip The Coal Strike in Clay Oil Crate Paralysis, Etc. KOKOMO, May 25. Spec'al. The postoffice fight here is rasing at white heat. Nearly three months have passed since Harrison's inauguration and the candidates have been legion, and yet no change is made. To further complicate matters, the present incumbent, W. S. Armstrong, seat in his resignation four weeks ago, and Congressman Chcadle recommended Capt. M. Garrigus as his successor, but the president will not appoint hiin. Garrigus is chairman of the republican county committee; has been a state senator; is nn exsoldier, and the idol of a portion of his party but the president will not appoint him. Wherefore! To begin with, President Arthur, through the influence of the Hon. George W. .Steele, appointed Garrigus collector of internal revenue in March, 1 . A very bitter ficht was made on hira by the auti-Garrigus republicans, aided by a few democrats. Charges affecting his honesty and integrity were brought against him. lie was then, r.s now, the leader of the party locally. Hi nomination 'as collector was referred to the senate sub-committee of finance, to whom the charges were referred. The committee, finally, referred the whole matter to Senator Harrison, telling him his will would be their report. JIarrisou refused iK'int blank to recommend his confirmation, ai.d the president was compelled to withdraw the nomination to prevent its rejection. Capt. T. M. Kirkpatriek was then nominated and afterword conti rmed. Garrigus was hot and declared he would "by"' for Harrison. His opportunity appeared when it came to select delegates to the republican national convention. Garrigus was known, but open anti-Harrison candidate for delegate from this congressional district. lie made a hard ficht in the county convention for the place and, though stultifying himself by declaring lor Harrison, he was beaten. Harrison himself had been counseled about this matter and recommended that Garrisru be beaten at all hazards. Garrigus attended the Chicago convention and did what he could to promote Gresham's candidacy. When Harrison was nominated, Carrius, as chairman of the central committee, worked like a Trojan for his election, believing all would be forgiven him n the end. He applied for the Kokomo postofhee, fully convinced that he would get it, hands down. Originally there were twelve aspirants forlhe pkee, but all have dropped out now but Garrips, T. L. Wykes. H. H. Stewart, G. W. McKiusey, H. M. trailers, W". 11. Sumption and Sam iiedrnond. Three weeks ago Cheadle recommended Garngns appointment, but the president, it is understood, flatly refused to make the appointment, having his refusal upon a batch of terious charges filed by exPostmaster Soiners, ex-County Auditor Spraker and other prominent republicans. It is said that the ch.in:es if true, would send Garrigus to the penitentiary for a number of years. The feeling is general here that Garrigus is beaten, but who will be the lucky man is mere guesswork. It is said that Garrigus will devote his remaining years to scalp-hunting, and in this he will have a vast army at his back. Public: sentiment is divided, and the feeling is rjuite bitter. The Garrigus people are cursinj Harrison, Somers, Spraker and the antis, while the opposition is sayin? all manner of hard things about Garrigu?. Whichever way the cat may jump, it will briag discord and bitter feelintr. CRAWFORD S COUNTY SEAT. Contention I'etween Leavenworth and English, as to the Court House. English, May 23. Special. The sectional ill-will continues to augment between Leavenworth und this place upon the subject of the county seat question, as awakened by house bill No. 4i2. The bill, a large number of our people claim, was a partisan bill, rushed through by the friends of the town of English. It reduced the per centage required to move the county seat from bo to 55 per cent, and provides that the county seat shall not be removed to any place within four miles of the county line. Tbjs cuts off every town about English in the county. English is preparing for the attack and Leavenworth for the defense. Leavenworth proposes putting ceils into the old jail ami otherwise improvins it, and building an addition to the court-house at' her own expense, bo as to make the present buildings suitable tor county business and at the same time raise the value, both of which effects would be to induce the people to oppose removal. Leavenworth and her friends claim that the county is now $I0,0iX) in debt and has nothing to show for it but the poor-house. Leavenworth and her friends 6ay we need roads worse than we need county building, and there is much truth in this, for there is not one mile of macadamized roa 1 in the county. It is a fact that the Leavenworth & Paoli gravel road might have been built years aero but for the opposition of Leavenworth, and Leavenworth has the reputation of opposing everything where the has not the lion's share of the gains. The friends of English have such confidence in their town that a new impulse has been given to business. Grand resiliences, mercantile buildings and many ordinary buildings are under wa. On the other hand, Marengo, which is really the largest town in the county, and which sides with Leavenworth in the contest, continues to stride onward and chuckles to think house bill 11.' cannot lire beyond the prvt session, when she will step in for the plum of dissension. A HORRIBLE STORY. Hogs Mangle a New-IIorn Baby, the Offspring of Itrotlier and Sister. II r.TKor.p City, May 21. Special. Henry Went;, a farmer at Slocum, northeast of here, this morning found in his hog-yard the remains of a newdiorn baby. Its feet, legs, hips and both hands were eaten off. Otherwise the body was perfect. The girl, Sophia M. A. Travelbea, was found in bed. She is prepossessing and intelligent, but pale and haggard, the picture of despair. She gave her testimony in a manner that carried with it the impress of truth. Her statement to the coroner was in substance as follows: That (luring the niirht she was seized with terrible pains; that she etagzered out into a lot and became unconscious. Coming to she found herself leaning against the tenet. She staggered back up stairs, where she ncain lost consciounes. She has no knowledge of giving birth to a child. She further staled that her own brother, John Henry Travelbea, is the father of her dead babe and that be worked her ruin by force, without her consent, while the was keeping home lor hiin at the time lie was keeping store at Slocum. The unnatural brother has left and she does not know where he is now. She has been an orphan since she was three years oll and is only turned seventeen now. Her condition is pitiable. Great excitement and indignation in the neighborhood prevails. The Coal Miners' Strike. Br.AZ(L, May 26. Special. Every indication points to a protracted struggle between the operators and strikers of the block, coal fields. For the past week the executive committee of the strikers has been busy in sending out soliciting committees for aid. Besides the local committees, and those already sent to Terre Haute and Indianapolis, a committee of four, composed of William Murray, Lindsey Morton, John Kennedy and John W. Miller, was appointed yesterday to go to Columbus, O., for a canT-iss of that city. While here Thursday attending the annual meeting of the Brazil block coal company, President Lawrence of Chicago said that the only solution of the Situation would be the acceptance of the scale offered by the operators that they bad oflered all that can possibly be paid, and would make no concessions. If the strikers persist in holding out against the reduction, it is thought the attempt will be made to import other men or put in machine diggers. The Oil Craze In Clay. Brazil, May 26. Special. J The oil fever rages high throughout Clay county. Besides Brazil, Knichtaville, Staunton, Cloverland, Clay City, Saline City and Center Point have contracted the fever. If oil cannot be found, gas will be accepted in lien. It is claimed by a pretended expert in gas, oil and salt blossom.

that all three may be tapped in the immediate Tioinity of Saline City. The most noted salt lick known to the pioneers of this part of the state was within a mile of that place.. A gentleman who claims to be familiar with the external phenomena of the gas region in western Ohio, says that he has traced all the most favorable indications in the same vicinity. Other developments than that of "black diamonds" seen to be prospectively in store for little Clay. A Novel Silver Wedding. Fort "Wayne, May 21. Special.

Alexander Sperisen, a well-known carriage manufacturer, and his good wife, whom be had married twen-ty-five years ago, stood before the altar and in the presence of several hundred family friends they plighted again their troths. The peculiar features of the celebration are that the couple were attended by the same groomsman and bridemaid who served thni a quarter of a century aeo, and Mr. and Mrs. Sperisen were remarried in the same clothes they wore then, and even their attendants were attired in the same garments. The clothing was somewhat ancient in appearance, but was of reasonable good preservation, and as the happy old couple and their rather aeed attendants walked up the aisle there was a merry shout from friends.

Preparing to Bounce Him. Anderson, May Special. Wallace Hubbard, special pension examiner for this district, received a telegram to-day from Commissioner of Pensions Tanner requesting him to report at once in Washington, and to bring all government property. Hubbard is a democrat. and at once replied that he would send the property at once and asked for a leave of absence. Tanner replied promptly, demanding him to report to him at Washington at once, and denied him the leave of absence. There is not much doubt that Mr. Tanner will request Hubbard to hand in his resignation, as his place is wanted by I. R. Conwell, a sore republican of this city, who was foiled in his efforts to secure the post office here. Hubbard left for Washington to-night. A Swindler Caught. Jeffersonville, May 22. Special. A neat confidence scheme has been nipped in the bud at Charlestown. For several days a man giving his name as William Pond of Lexington, Ky., has been dazzling the eyes of the town people by his style. He claimed to be after a fine farm for the purpose of raising blooded stock. Campbell Holman, a young well-to-do farmer, heard of it and proposed to sell Pond his farm. The deeds were made out, and Pond was taking them from Holman's hand, giving him a check for $4000, when he was arrested. Mrs. Holman and her father telephoned to Louisville and Lexington, and discovered that Pond's check was worthless and he was a fraud. Pond was lodged in jail. Kurtz," Jackson's New Metropolis.

Laporte, May 24. Special. John Shaffer, an old soldier and ex-deputy sheriff, has been appointed postmaster of this city, to succeed the editor of The Argus. Mr. Wadsworth has generously offered to allow the new appointee to come into the office and learn its routine work before taking actual possession a privilege that was not accorded him when he was first appointed. The retiring republican official not only refused to allow Wadsworth an opportunity to learn any of the duties of the office before turning it over to him, but induced the head clerk to demand three times the wages per month he was receiving, which was given him until his services could be dispensed with. A Lynching Threatened. Seymour, May 20. Special. William T. Winscott was arraigned before Justice A. S. Simons yesterday on the charge of criminal assault upon Louisa, the e!even-vear-old daughter of William H. Massman. The child is said to be seriously injured.

The Westfield Postoffice Change. Westfield, May 21. [Special]. The postoffice at Westfield has passed into the hands of Mrs. May Smith, W. H. Conkling retiring amid the groans of the republicans.

Machine republicans wear down-cast looks quite in keeping with the defeated candidates. School-House Thieves. LaPorte, May 24. Special.

Fair, owner of a saloon and restaurant, shot and probably fatally wounded Elmer Vansickle, a C, H. & D. section hand, while the latter was trying to gain an entrance into the building by way of the cellar. It seems that during Fair's absence in the afternoon some parties broke into the saloon, and upon his return he concluded to keep a watch, which resulted as stated above. The weapon used was a doublebarreled shot-gun loaded with No. 1 shot. Fair came at once to this place and surrendered himself to the sheriff. A Preacher Disgracing Himself. Winchester, May 27.

The excitement is at fever heat, and if caught he will receive a warm reception. Chase on the Rampage Again. Anderson, May 27. Special. The Rev. Lieut.-Gov. Ira J. Chase delivered the memorial sermon at the opera-house last night It was of a character that would have been reprehensible had it been delivered even on the stump in a political campaign.

Judge Woods Dismisses Cases Against Men Who Are Clearly Guilty. I Daily Sentinel, May 2 J.1 In the federal court Tuesday several of the election cases set for trial at the last term of court were nollied by the present prosecuting attorney. This action is not altogether a surprise, but the shamefulness of it deserves more than passing mention, and indicates the sort of justice the public may expect from the federal officers appointed by the present administration. The case of the United States against Elmer Heston was brought up on a charge of the most extreme and deliberate sort of intimidation and bulldozing that could have been practiced. On the day of the election the defendant, with two or three other persons, entered into a conspiracy to prevent a citizen of Greene county from voting. To accomplish this they got him into a wagon, pretended to have a warrant for Lis arrest upon some charge trumped up for the occasion, threatened him with all sort.s of violence, and, among other things, with a revolver pointed at his head, stated that if he resisted he would do s at his peril. Thus secured, he was taken to Worthington, ten miles from his home, to the county jail, where they were met by the sheriff, who demanded their proper papers of committment, which of course they were unable to produce. None of these men were officers of the law. and their sole purpose was to prevent their victim from voting, in which they succeeded. Heston, the leader of this conspiracy, was indicted by the federal grand jury, and the evidence of his guilt is overwhelming. The indictment did not fall under the rule established by Judge Woods for the release of republican election scoundrels, and why a man so notoriously gnilty as Heston should be released without even the form of a hearing is a matter in which the public might be interested in knowing. The cases againt Albert Mowrey, Charles Dunham, Milton Lmnham (two indictments), Howard B. McCandless, Benjamin Boyer and David Mitchell were all for illegal voting, and the indictments against them were probably nollied under the peculiar ruling of Judge Woods, although the evidence in each case was particularly strong, and should receive prompt attention from the grand jury now in session. The cases against Albert C. Pearsou, George Bailey and Wesley Jarvis were for other offenses against the election laws, and their several indictments were in nowise affected, in point of validity, by the court's decision. Their recent dismissal by the V. S. district attorney, or his clerk, was an outrage upon public decency, and wholly without warrant in law or in fact. The evidence against each defendant was of a conclusive character. If men committed for high crime are to be promptly released, without the slightest form of trial, simply because they have been the corrupt and willing tools of republican ring-leaders, and, on the other hand, democrats are to be bound over and prosecuted upon the slightest color of guilt, as in the poor farm cases, the sooner courts are abolished the better it will be for society. Albert C. Pearson resides in Hartford City, and was active in the distribution of republican boodle. Among others, he purchased the vote of a very poor young man of that community for the stipulated price of $15, using as an assistant in the transaction an agent by the name of Noble, who was jointly indicted with him. Pearson aud his pal, however, failed to pay over more than nine dollars, which was the cause of a vigorous protest on the part of the young man, and in this way the matter became public. These facts can be fully established by the person whose vote was purchased und other corroborating witnesses. The case against George Bailey of Morgan county was also for bribery, and it seldom occurs that this charge is supported by testimony so strong. As it happened, the defendant arranged for the purchase of two brothers old men whom he took to the polls, one at a time, in his buggy, and in each instance laid a ten-dollar gold piece on the laD of the voter before reaching the polls, which they received and kept. They of course voted the republican ticket, as the defendant prepared and gave it to them. In addition to other strong testimony in the case, the separate affidavits of the two brothers, fully setting out the above fact, are on file iu the district attorney's office all of which he well knew when the noliies were entered. Under the circumstances it can hardly be expected that a case of such plain fraud, so clearly susceptible to proot, will even be considered by the grand jury now in session. The case against esley Jarvis, for double voting is so clear and positive in proof that it is hardly possible that the defendant, if brought to trial, would even nndertake a defense. He voted in the morning at (Jreenfield and agu'n about noon ten or twelve miles distant, in Green township, Hancock county. His came is on both poll-bookj, and he is clearly identified by members of both boards as having voted at the two places named. Yet it seems the mere fact of his having voted for Benjamin Harrison is sufficient to cause the prompt dismissal of all proceedings instituted against liitu, though it will be remembered that the only person found guilty in all the hundred and fifty indictments or more brought for violation of the election law, was a young man, s democrat, who was charged with the crime of double voting, the facts being that he voted for Cleveland in the morning and later in the day was made drunk by republican workers, aud for $3 voted for Harrison. Children Cry for

GOV. H0VEY STILL MULISH.

HE OVERRULES THE SUPREME COURT. He Holds That the Decision In the Riley Case Was Wrong and Claims He Will Ask For a Rehearing Evidently Only a Scheme For Delay. Daily Sentinel, M.ay 21.1 Monday The Sentinel expressed some doubts as to what course the spirit of the late lamented Napoleon Bonaparte would inspire the governor of Indiana to take in regard to the trustees of the benevolent institutions in view of the supreme court's ruling in the Riley case. The spirit of Napoleon, after three or four days of contemplation in retirement at Mt. Vernon, has moved the governor to defy the supreme court, and he yesterday announced the decision arrived at by the spirit of Napoleon. Dr. M. C. Benham of Richmond, one of the gentlemen elected trustee of the eastern hospital for the insane by the legislature, arrived in. the city yesterday and applied to Gov. Hovey for his commission. Much to his surpme the governor refused to issue it, stating that he would issue no commission until the matter bad been finally disposed of in the courts. Dr. Benham replied that his understanding was thnt the decisiou in the Kiley case ha t settled the matter, or lie would not have applied for the commission at the present time. The governor's reply was that the question was not yet settled, and that he would not issue any commissions for the present, at least. Dr. Benham was thus subjecte'Lo the expense and waste of time of a visit 10 this city, and that his journey was a fruitless one is certainly no fault of his. Everybody in Indiana, outside of Gov. Hovey and a few, possibly, of his republican advisers, supposed with Dr. Benham that the decision of tue supreme court in the Riley case, which was expressed in unmistakable English, put to rest all contest over the legislative appointments. But a 6ore-head governor, with a lot of disappointed applicants at his back, has found a reason to antagonize even the supreme court, and will evidently do everything in his power to embarrass the legally elected trustees, putting them to as mueh expense as possible in assuming their charges, and leaving no stone unturned that will make their pathway a rough one. A Sentinll reporter wns sent to Gov. Ilovey's office shortly after Dr. Benham had left it and asked him on what ground he had refused to grant the commission. "We will grant no commissions until the case is finally settled in court," was the reply. "What case is that?" the reporter asked. "The Riley case." "Has not "that been settled?" "No; amotion will be entered for a rehearing. I think the supreme court was wrong in its decision." The reporter then sought Atty.-Gen. Michener and asked him when the motion for a rehearing would be filed. The attorney-general's reply indicated very plainly that be was not sure that such a motion would be filed at all. "We have sixty days in which to file it," he explained. "On what ground will you base an appeal for a rehearing." "I do not know. I am not prepared to speak on the subject at present." "Is the probability that you will, or will not, bring the motion?'' "I do not know myself. I do not care to talk on the subject." This conversation indicates that the attorneygeneral does not 6hare the governor's fancy for a new trial. As an attorney, he undoubtedly knows that such a motion would be immediately refused, and does not care to assume the responsibility for it. There is no doubt that Gov. novey's sole intention in assuming his present attitude is to hinder and embarrass the gentlemen chosen as trustees of the various institutions. He will keep them out of office as long as possible, and will put them to all the expense he can to get the places. A motion for a rehearing, if filed at all, will probably be entered as late as possible, and the hearing of it prolonged as mnch as possible. The state has sixty days from May 18 to file a motion for a new trial. There is a bare possibility that Gov. Hovey and some of the other republican politicians of the 6tate imagine that some of the judges of the supreme court will undergo a change of opinion on the subject, but this hardly seems possible In the meantime the small and contemptible spirit which is being displayed by the chief executive of the state will be remembered against him by the people at large, and will injure him iu the eyes of respectable republicans as well as democrats. - GREAT IS HOVEY. Why Did He Commission These Men it the Governor Has Sol rower to Appoint? The consistency or rather the inconsistency of Gov. Hovey?s course with regard to the issuance of commissions to the officers elected by the legislature at its last session is something to be marveled at. It will be remembered that Gov. Hovey commissioned State Librarian Dunn without question as to the legality of the election. It was some time before he "discovered that it was "unconstitutional" for the legislature to fill any offices. But he finally made that truly wonderful discovery and announced the fact by refusing commissions to the insane hospital trustees and other officers chosen by the general assembly. Shortly after this discovery and announcement by the man who carries the soul of the great Napoleon around under his ample waistcoat, he evidently forgot himself for a moment, for he issued commissions, about April 1, to Adams Karle of Iat'ayette, Samuel Bowen of South Bend and George Hall of Raleigh as members of the live-stook sanitary commission. This live-stock commission was created by an act of the general assembly at its last session and express:y ignored the appointing power of the governor by providing that the members of the commission shall be nominated j by the state board of agriculture, aud commis- i sions issued by the governor. j The natural inference would be that the I governor, during a fit of absent-mindedness, j had forgotten the stand he had taken upon the "constitutionality" of an act oi the legislature ' filling a state olhce. However, two of the members of the commission are republicans, and it is said a number of republicans held a long and exciting session with the man who thiuks he inheriied Napoleon's soul and literally read the riot act to him. Because of this pressure the governor consented to waive the constitutional question. A great man is Gov. Hovey. The Weather and the Crops. Washington, May 2i Weather crop bulletin for the week ending May 2.5: Over the Ohio and upper Missouri valleys the daily temperature ranged from nine to ten degrees lower than usual, with light frosts in the upper lake region. In New England and generally throughout the Northwest, the season is from one to two weeks in advance. Large excesses of rainfall are reported in the tipper Ohio valley, including the greater portions of Ohio, Indiana and tipper Michigan. There has been a large deficiency in rainfall for the season from the Ohio valley southward over the tobacco and cotton regions o Tennessee, Kentucky and the cast gulf states. The recent rainfalls over the northern portions of the winter wheat region and throughout the corn and wheat regions of the Northwest have doubtless improved the growing crops in those sections. The weather durine the week has been favorable for all growing crops througout the Northwest, the central valleys and New England, but the drought continues in the south Atlantic and the eastern gulf states, where the reports indicate that all crops are greatly in need of rain. Cotton and small fruiia have doubtless been more or less injured. Insects are increasing rapidly, and gloomy prospects are generally reported. The crop prospects have been greatly improved iu the states of tne Ohio valley by the timely rains, but some damage mav result to fruit in this section from frosts which occurred on May 23. Throughont the states of the corn and wheat belt the weather for the week has improved the condition of the principal crops, although frosts caused some damage to early corn and vegetables in Minnesota. Excessive rains and cool weather over the middle Atlantic states injuriously affected small fruits and tender vegetables, br.t generally improved grass and grain. The season in this section and New England is eariy, and crops have developed rapidly. The grass crop, which is one of the most important crops in New England, is especially reported in fine condition. Harvesting is in progress as far north Tenueesee. Pitcher's Castorla.

BAD CROPS

Worms And Drouth Have Caused Great Loss to Farmers. President Jasper N. Davidson of the state board of agriculture was iu the city Monday. He said that the recent frost did but little damage to the corn, but the garden stuffand fruits fared badly. In the western part of the state the farmers have been bothered considerably with cut worms, grub worms and the bald-web worm, the latter being a new specimen in this section of the country. The depredations of the cut worm are about over, as they have taken wing, but the rub and beJd-web worms still remain. Notwithstandingall this, the corn is fully as good as the average crop for the pat five years. The fruit crop is very uneven on account of the frost. Oats are uniformly bad throughout the state and only a very small crop will be realized. Hay is also doin poorly on account of .the severe Aprd drouth. The wheat crop in the northern, eastern and southern portions of the state wiil average fairly, but in the central and western portions it will corae nowhere near the average. They Are seeking Oil. Two more companies have been added to the long list of corporations from Tcrre Haute that are boring in that region for oil.
