THB last seven days have resulted in An improved outlook for the cotton crop. *he best prospect, as heretofore, is in Itexas, where picking has begun regu­ larly in some sections, and where tho re­ port says the crop will be the largest for ten years, despite decreased acrea.ce. Bains have fallen in Arkansas, where Che crop will bo about as large as last Ciar'8. There is a better outlook in the eniphis district, where the lateness is ttie worst fault of the crop. This is due t&ostly to the recent flood. In Missis- eippi there has been too much rain, and jtome quarters report the plant not fruit­ ing as it should. In Louisiana there has been a cessation of the continuous rains, followed by cloudy weather, which has prevented rust and shedding, so the sit­ uation there is more cheerful. In South Carolina there is little change from the Unfavorable conditions heretofore re- |K>rted, which make the crop late ami £>or. Reports of boll worms are more equcnt than a week ago, but all eSV their work will not do serious damage »t any point. Caterpillars are heard of In both Mississippi and Alabama, tut $hey have not done much harm. ' Lo«t on Georgian Bay. ' THE steel 6team yacht Wapiti has Seen lost on Georgian Bay. The fam­ ily and two guests of Hiram W. Sibley, the New York capitalist, were on board, and all of them are .drowned. There were eleven personsjin the party, in­ cluding the crew.

AT Metropolis, 111., fiames were dis­ covered in Craig ft Son's hardware •tore, and rapidly spread to tne adjoin­ ing buildings, eating its way to the sec­ ond street on the south, stopping there only because of a vacant lot. Hardly a building was left standing on the square. Total loss, $30,000; insurance about $12,000.

THBEE years ago John Sikorski ar­ rived at Winona, Minn., fiom the old country, and obtained work. Shortly afterward he sent $50 back home to pay the fare to Winona of his sweetheart, who promised to marry him upon arriv­ ing there. Shortly after her arrival the girl became engage ! to and married a man named Meyer, and Sikorski sued to recover his $50. The Court found in his favor Monday, assessing costs and interest upon the defendant. The whole amount is $7G. AN order for Aree coffins was re­ ceived at Gratid Junction, Col., from West Water, Utah, just over the Colo­ rado line. Investigation so far has de­ veloped meager details of a duel be­ tween W. E. Davis and what is known as the "Bro.'k gang" of thieves. As far as learned, Davis killed three of the gang and fatally wounded Brock, the leader. Davis evidently escaped un­ harmed. He used a repeating rifle in his unequal fight. It is ^not known whether the gang attacked Davis or whether he got the drop on them. Six prisoners escaped from the ^ima, Ohio, jail Wednesday night. They opened one of the inner doors with a false key, and when Mrs. O'Neill, wife of the Sheriff, opened the outer door to lock them in their cells one of them knocked her down and ran out, the other five following. Frank Tayl r fell down an embankment and broke his leg and was captured. The others, Joseph Mc- Sherron, James Williams, William Col- ligan, H. A. Gordon, and Charles Ed­ wards. made their escape. Sheriff O'Neill was out of town at the time. WILLIAM M. DANIELL, 80 years of age, was burned to death at Milwaukee. Mr. Daniell was taking a sweat bath when a blanket covering him caught fire frbin an alcohol lamp. He was alone In the house at the time. A liveryman on the opposite side of the street, dis­ covering smoke issuing from the Dan­ iell residence, rushed in and discovered Mr. Daniell's dead body on the floor. The flames were extinguished before causing much loss. Mr. Daniell went to Milwaukee in 1858 and kept a music store until about ton years ago, when he retired from business on account of old age. THE seventeenth biennial meeting of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias of the world has commented in Kansas City, and will continue in session ten days, or until all the business before it Is completed. A public reception was tendered the members of the Supreme Lodge at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. The hour was fixed thus early on ac­ count of the necessity, imposed by the rules of the lodge, to dispose of a cer­ tain amount of business at its first day's cession. The reception was held at the Grand Opera House, and the auditorium was appropriately decorated in honor of the occasion. eoAduetors' organisation*, positively re­ fused to take any hand in the trouble, saying that their men had no griev­ ances. This killed all hope of further resistance. As Mr. Sweeney put it, 515 switchmen could not fight 8,000 militia and the combined forces of seven rail* road corporations. > BUILDINOtt ERECTED FOR EN­ CAMPMENT QUARTERS. FOREIGN. SOUTHERN. BUD LINDSAY, United States Deputy Marshal and leader of the miners' mob at Coal Creek, escaped a lynching at the hands of Tennessee militiamen on Sunday by agreeing to betray the lead­ ers oi the recent attacks oi the convict camps. THE schoolmaster was abroad with a vengeance in Harlan County, Kentycky. Tuesday. His name is John Nolan, and In the course of a free-for-all fight, near Harlan court house, he killed Edward Pace and fatally wounded a man named Bitzer. A CLOUDBURST Monday left the busi­ ness part of the city of Boanoke, Va., in a demoralized condition. All the stores were flooded and it is impossible now to estimate the amount of damage, but it will not probably amount to more than $50,000. Only one life was lost.

THE London Standard calls President Harrison's action in the St. Mary's Falls Canal matter "vexatious and unfriend­ ly," saying; "We suppose it is a pretext to pose as the exponent of a spirited foreign policy." JAPAN advices contain the usual budget of disasters. At Tokushtma 150 persons were drowned and 2,000 houses swept away by a flood. An earthquake fissure near Tokushima swallowed up 160 houses and 100 people. Five hun­ dred houses wero submerged and 100 persons drowned by floods at Okuyaina. THE Germans are building several Important new fortresses in Alsace. Neuf Brisach is to be connected with Strasburg and the chain of forts on the Rhine greatly strengthened. This in- crease of her fortification on the bor­ der is taken to indicate Germany's con­ tinued belief that France meditates an attempt at recovering the lost provinces. CAPT. WEMYSS, of the royal army, has been sent to Canada by the War Office to learn what facilities can be of­ fered in Canada for the transport of troops to the East in case of sudden call. If notice were given at the time the troops were dispatched from En­ gland, Canadian Pacific Railway officers say they would be ready to handle them as fast as they left the ship. This state­ ment does not take into consideration the facilities of the Grand Trunk Bail- way, which could do nearly as much. In case of war, British troops could be passed through Canada quicker than the War Office could land them. A DISPATCH from Beshd, in the prov­ ince of Ghilan, states that every day hundreds of persons are dying there from cholera. Beshd is a very un­ healthy place, and sanitary methods are unknown. It lies sixteen miles from Enzellee, its port on the Cas­ pian Sea, and is the center of the importing trade of the province in *hich it is located. Most of the imports are from Bussia. The population of the town is about 20,000. Following the re­ port, from Teheran comes information 6f a most alarming character from Europe. United States Consul Johnson at Hamburg reports that he is advised officially by the government health officer of that city of the presence of Asiatic cholera and many deaths there, and he has accordingly refused to issue bills of health to departing ves­ sels. Consul Williams at Havre reports an epidemic of Asiatic cholera at that pla?e with many deaths, and advises an inspection of the fast liner La Touraine. These facts have been promptly com­ municated to th«i health officers at Staten island, and every precaution will be taken by them in the matter; es­ pecially in view of the fact that the epidemic has now reached two of the most important ports in Europe with which the United States has direct and rapid communication. Although no real fear that the cholera will reach the shores of the United Statei is expressed by the authorities of the Treasury De­ partment, circulars have been issued to customs officers directing the disinfec­ tion of baggage from cholera-infected porta. - IN GENERAL PBESIDENT BAPTISTA has declared the whole of the Republic of Bolivia in a state of siege, owing to the Camaceo revolutionary movement. Several cases of dynamite and amunition were dis­ covered at La Paz. DURING last week 318 car-loads, con­ taining 3,816 tons of green fruit, were shipped east from California over the Central Pacific. So far this season 6,000,000 pounds more fruit have been shipped than were last year.

A Huntllng Short-Idved Town. The town will continue to flourish and will no doubt be an exceedingly bust­ ling place, and then in the course ot four or five days an exodus will begin which will leave the place without a single inhabitant. All this sounds like a tale from a fairy book. But it is a sober fact. The only magician in the case is the enterprise of the business men of the city which has provided the buildings for a portion of the great mul­ titude of old soldiers who will come here to attejjhd the G. A. R. encamp­ ment. J Just now it is impossible to get an ac­ curate idea of the immense undertaking which the citizens' committee have on their hands. By the end of next week it is expected that the buildings will be completed.

The entire group will furnish sleep­ ing quarters for about 15,000 men, and in the vicinity other buildings will be put up, where the men can wash, and also buildings where they can get their meals. In the vicinity space has been reserved for the members of posts Which bring tents, with the intention of camp­ ing out. ^ The buildings where the men wijl sleep are interesting for several reasorys. The great size is, of course, an element that will attract the curiosity of the public. But their design is such that they will cost the minimum amount of money. There was no plan drawn, but Chairman Edson, in, connection with Mr. W. C. Morrisen, the Guilder,worked out the scheme from the basis of a known number ot men that must be pro­ vided with sleeping quarters. In a figurative way it may be saia that 15,- 0i»0 men were put into their little beds, and the size of the buildings necessary to give them shelter was calculated to a nicety. While ample room is allowed there is no waste space Each building is divided into two or three divisions by cross passage ways. Then aisles are run down the length of the building with a row of bunks on each side, three high. The bunts are substantially built, and along each row is drawn tightly a substantial strip of canvas. The canvas is brought over a strip of wood at the head of each bunk, then fastened down to strips In the in­ side, thus supplying the place of a bolster. It is then securely fastened to each side ot the bunk, and the same operation is repeated in the next bunk. In this way each bunk is supplied with a spring mattress which will receive the weary forms of the veterans and cause them to sink away into a dreamless slumber undisturbed by the nightmares which were a common experience of their soldier life, when they rolled over & 5.00 ( f t 6.79 ($ .71 .48 .34 .61*6 3.00 <§ 4.75 3.00 & 6.00 3.00 <<£ 5.00 .U%<£ .75!$ .51 <3» .02 .35H@ .36)6 .66 & ,68 3.00 ® 4.

Although this group of buildings will furnish quarters for about 15,000 men, yet the citizens' committee have to look out for about as many more. 80 the construction of four or five similai buildings will be begun at once at Gar- fleld Park, where it is expected some S.fOO or 10,000 men will be located. A couple of buildings will be erected on the square bounded by 7th, Sth, and C streets southwest, which will accommo­ date some 3,000 men. In addition, the committee propose to lease the new hall over tho K street market if it is com­ pleted in timo, where some 2,000 men can sleep. Nearly ai! the school build­ ings have been assigned to Grand Army posts free of charge, the committee fur­ ther supplying the necessary cots.

Cure lor lour Imbrella. "Show me an umbrella," says a manufacturer, "that has holes worn in the silk about the ring at the top, while the body of the material is still intact throughout, and I will show you the owner of an umbrella who doesrv't deserve to own one, not if it Is a good one; and show me an um­ brella that has holes in it along the ribs before natural use of it should make them come there, and I will show you sp owner who carries his umbrella more for the sake of appear­ ance than for utility." A wet umbrella placed handle down down drips the moisture from it at the edges of the frame, and the ma­ terial with which it is covered dries evenly, and leaves no spot still soaked with water^ If it is stood handle up­ ward the water runs down to one spot at the top, where the strong cloth lining about the ring holds a good deal of it, and in a comparative­ ly short time rots the material, and it breaks easily. The man who carries his umbrella swathed in its case when it is Dot called into use by rain, to give him a more stylish appearance on parade, I will soon find it wearing out from top j to bottom. This is because of constant friction between the case and the silk, and no matter of how good quality it may be, the holes will appear in it long before they should, and the dealer who sold the umbrella will of course be blamed for selling inferior or damaged goods. There are many jjeople so ignorant of the proper treatment of an umbrella that they will actually roll it up when wet, and leave it to rot and mold un­ til the next time, they want it for Use. Of course, if it was not for such thoughtless folks we wouldn't sell so many umbrellas, but we would escape a great deal of grumbling and growl­ ing from customers about tbe quality of what we sell. If you want your umbrella, and especially a good silk one, to last twice as loug as it other­ wise would, always leave it loose, whether in use or not, and dry it open, with the handle down*--Jiew York Weekly. 1 Re WHS S Proud Old Planter. "Speaking of the decadence of American spirit reminds me of a proud old Arkansas planter I knew1 before the war," said Col. John Hath­ away of Tennessee. "I met the old gentleman in a hotel at Little Bock, and, needing seme postage stamps, asked him if he could accommodate me. He took a sheet from his big pocketbook and told me to help my­ self. I took quite a number and ten­ dered him pay for them. He straight­ ened up, looked at me severely, over his glasses, and said: 'Sir, a gentle­ man does not peddle postage stamps.' That old man's grandson is now coachman for a wealthy Chicago pork packer, and appears to be not a little proud of his gorgeous livery. Pros­ perity is a great promoter of inde­ pendence. The average man is hum­ ble enough when both his stomach and pocketbook are empty."--Globe- Democrat.

A Buffalo, N. 1'., special says: A eo&~ ^'31 certed attempt was made by the striker* ^ or their sympathizers to-night to "do 4|sll up the militia all along the line of the Nickel-Plate and New York Central -3 Boads from the Ohio street crossing iv the south of the city, away out to the '3 Clinton street crossing of the Nickel-- Plate Railroad. Over two hundred vol»- leys were fired, but so far as known n<* one was killed. The trouble broke out ^ shortly after midnight and every sentry i on duty was assaulted with stones anal coupling pins. Several sentries wera ^ struck. They replied with shots front j their rifles and revolvers and called ottfc 5 the guard. In all the yards the guard* > were doubled and it is feared that be* , r fore morning there will be serioiw . v;"vj trouble. . v-" The heaviest shooting took place at * the Clinton street crossing of the Nickel :J Plate, where company K of the Twelftlf regiment is stationed. The sentries ., were attacked here by six men who ' I stoned them. They called out the guard and scoured the yards. The men muqfr / VI have been hiding in cars, lor they wei# ' i not found. - " J| Hardly had the guard returned ; "l"A quarters when tho sentries were afc. . 1 tacked again and the bullets whistle*/ % over the houses. Ten volleys were fired 4 on this raid, but in the darkness the .•'Si men were missed. Twice more wait' . 3 1M*,8 and the flrnj? continued tUl all the people living in the neigh lor- hood wero aroused. On the last sail*:. -M the corporal ©f the guard repbrted that v he believed one of the, skulkers hai> ^ been hit. Tho Twelfth regiment com- • 3^ panics at Seneca street, and the Thir- • ' 'J teenth at Ohio street, were kept on the * Jump all night shooting at strikers wh®' ° pulled couplings on trains ready to stark ^ 1^2 in the morning. / r Out at the Tefft farm, where thiV , / ^ twenty-second Regiment is on guar-*' " the shooting began at 11 o'clock and continued until daylight. It was re­ torted at 2 o'clock that two strikers hafti! been shot to death by tho guard. There were four meetings of strikers* at different points to-night and threats^ were made that the militia would be* "done up" before morning. A policeman* in citizen's clothing overheard thtj? threats and notified the company com- T manders. Two men were bayoneted^ to-night while attempting to run thH% guard on the Lake Shore tracks. The yards are surrounded by the militia, and orders have been issued to shoot every man dead who attempted to leave the yards. The sentries have orders to kill anyone who throws a stone or pulls a coupling pin. Gen. Porter was awakened at mid­ night by the report of the attack on the militia. He said he had not ordered out any more troops, but he regarded the situation as more serious than at any time since the strike began. He said he had feared trouble all along, and that to-night's skirmish is only th> beginning of serious trouble. Gen. Porter and his staff are now can­ vassing the advisability of calling out extra troops. The Fourteenth, Seventh and Sixty-ninth are under arms in re­ serve and they may be ordered here. The latest report of the result of to­ night's shooting is that four men have been killed and two wounded in one- place in the Erie yard a mile outside of the city, and that a number of other men. have been wounded by the soldiers' bullets in other yards.

Took HI* Own Coal with Him. Not long ago two Irishmen shipped for a sea voyage. They had not been many days at sea when a storm arose and one of the Irishmen was blown overboard. A boat was lowered and Pat's lifeless body iecovered. It was taken on board, and the usual burial service was being said when the cap­ tain discovered that he could not get anything to sink the body except a large piece of coal. The coal was put ft to the sack with the body, and the captain started to finish the services, when the dead man's companion burst out laughing. "What are you laughing at?1* shout­ ed the captain. "I don't like to tell you, sor," said the Irishman. "Tell me at once, or I'll have you put in irons." \ "Well, sorv* said xhe Irishman, pointing to the corpse, "that is the first man I ever saw going below and taking his own coal along with him." He Waa Accommodated. At the trial of a horse-thief in Phoenix, A.

We cannot expect to have all that i» good and nothing that is bad, but we always have more good than we do baff and there is consolation in that--Ex­ change. THE anarchist business is being over­ done. Some unwashed crank is likely to take a fall with his gun out of the President ot the fortunate candidate fo» that office because the verdict of the people doesn't ploase him. The best remedy for , straight anarchy is tem­ porary suspension--by the , neck--the suspension to last at least twenty min­ utes.--Minneapolis Journal. THE anarchists that infest our coun­ try are nothing more than a gang Oi. foreign tramps and cut-throats, whose presence should not be tolerated in our midst. When they preach and dissena- ate their infamous doctrine of assassin­ ation and the use of dynamite and tire* they have placed themselves beyond American clemency, and should receive the same treatment that we accord to » mad dog or a rattlesnake.--Exchange.
