Thta spring is opening up very much
on last spring did when it remained cool
until qulto late nnd then warmed up all
at once. It haa the advantage of keep
ing fruit bnda baok until there la no
longer danger of them being Injured by
frost. Last year WHS quite n prolific
fruit year and this Reason now promises
to equal it in that respect , There wan n
honvy frost aualn limt night , preceded
by n rain that accomplished much good
in getting the ground In condition for
crops to start OH soon as there is sufll-
oiont warm weather to germinate the
Boedn.
Kvideuco of how a story grows , or can
bo made to grow , is taken from n recent
edition of the Chicago Record. A few
days ago a number of the state papers
published an item from Battle Crook
concerning a Untie encounter between
Herbert Stnvoly aud Will Losoy , rival
claimants for the million of ouo of Hattie -
tie Creek's fair daughters. Some outer-
prising news husUor for the Record got
hold of the slory aud converted it into n
special from Niles , Michigan , referring
to the incident on taking plooo nt Battle
Crook , that state. The additional in
formation was given that the young
lady herself reform ! the contest and
that the wedding day had boon sot for
Juno 1 , It IH instances like those that
anrilst iu destroying confidence in the ac
curacy of some of the largo dailies of the
oitlort.

furnished'by the sheriff , soon got on the
track of the man wanted nud located
him In a box car at South Norfolk where
ho was nrrostqd by the Norfolk ofiloor
and placed in jail over night , n special
guard boiug placed oti duty to prevent
him ifrom duplicating his Sioux Falls
act. This morning the Sioux Falla of-
fiuor departed with his prisoner for that
olty , leaving ou the OiJO ! train. While
here the prisoner wont by the uamo of
Jiui McCoy , which was nu assumed ouo ,
aud expected to sconro work , but his
plans were rudely interrupted by the of
floors , . Ho is said by the Dakota officer
to bo a tough character aud Chief Kane
is to bo congratulated on boiug able to
lay his hands on the fellow when he
was most wanted. It is to bo hopul
that South Dakota will now bo able to
keep him until ho has paid the poualty
for his criuioH.

WILL CLOSE DOWN MINE3.
Operators Decide on Drastic Measures
to Stamp Out Unionism.
Plttsburg , April 9. A remarkable
development In the coal minors' strike
n the central district fields has taken
place durlnc the past few days. It was
earned from official sources that the
strike of the miners there and partic
ularly those who were employed by
the Rochester and Plttsburg Coal com
pany , has determined the coal com
pany on drastic measures for stamping
out all unionism in their section. The
Rochester and Plttsburg company
which employs fully 10,000 men , des
pairing of a settlement of the trouble
with Its miners , has given orders to
close down the mines. This order
moans the absolute Idleness of the
properties of the company for at least
all of the present summer. It wll
eave the miners without work whcth
er they would work or not. When the
company is ready to begin again , It Is
said , It will hlro nonunion meu only.

MAY POSTPONE WORLD'S FAIR. ,
Barrett Admits Possibility of Putting
Off St. Louis Exposition.
Chicago , April 7. John Barrett ,
commissioner general to Asia for the
Louisiana Purchase exposition , left
Chicago last night for San Francisco ,
en route to the Orient. The following
statement , made by htm In reference i
to the reports of a possible postpone
ment of the St. Louis exposition , haa
special significance : "The World's
fair management In St. Louis has
been bending every energy to have the
exposition open promptly in 1903 , but
a grave condition has arisen which It
cannot control and for which it is not
responsible. Nearly all of the foreign
governments have officially notified
the management that it is a physical -
impossibility for them to be creditably
represented at St. Louis in 1903. On
the other hand , while the majority of.
them have accepted for 1903 and will
do the best they can , they have Inform
ally Intimated that If the exposition ,
Is postponed they will endeavor to
surpass even what they did at Chicago
nnd Paris. As the success of the
World's fair must depend largely on
foreign participation , it can be seen
that this Is a most serious considera
tion , which neither congress nor the
exposition officials can overlook. In
short , If the World's fair at St. Louis
Is postponed , It will be done largely la-
deferengo to the wishes of foreign
nations. "
