The condition of Mrs.' WVU; Hawes, who some time ago went to Walla Walla for medical treatment, is reported to be very critical and but little hopes are en tertained of her secovery.

Guy McDowell, who was employed in Parker's barber shop and left here about two months ago, died at a hospital in Lewiston, Idaho, August 11, of Bright's disease, after a short illness. A despatch says a brother in Spokane and a sister in Montana have been informed ot his death. Young McDowell was a veteran of the Spanish-American war. His early boyhood was spent in Lewiston, where he was under the care of a lady, who was assiduous in her attentions during his last sickness. Tna Xetalt af tkcll Waaaft It4 r n eak SCta p. - - laser ( W. -. 5 I J Gen. D GaUlfet, the new Trench minister of war, who-has excited uni versal admiration by his repression of unruly army officers, is.remarka.ble for wearing a silver plat over his stomach in place of the tissue with which nature supplied him. The general was terribly wounded at the siege of the Convent of Guadeloupe during the French expedition to Mex icot in 1863. A shell carried away a Urge portion of his stomaeh. He explains that his experience as a sportsman then stood him in good stead. ''"'.-'' - - He had often noticed how when a hound was gored at a boar hunt he was not sacrificed or shot, but his intestines were replaced and the skin stitched up. When, therefore, he recovered Con sciousness he himself describes how he collected all he could and made his own way by himself to the ambulance as rapidly as his shatterd trunk would allow him to do. His wound was the object of universal sympathy; his com rades fetched snow from the moun tains so as to keep him at the proper temperature; the empress herself or dered him to recover, and he then main tained he could not, as a man of gal lantry, refuse to obey the orders of such - a lady. He had to replace what had been lost by a silver substitute. - - Many other stories are told bf his daring; how to win a wager he jumped into the lihone on horseback. . So well did he establish his reputation that Na poleon III. at once said: "Dourot repre sents virtue, but Gallifet represents bravery. ' I believe that he, like Bay ard, could easily defend a bridge by himself against all comers." N. Y. Herald. f.

"The vessel was the Briftish tramp Hlwick. Many persons were attracted to the ship to view the interesting exhibit, says a report from that city. Tlie Elwick, under command of Capt. Clark, has been running'between Phil adelphia and English ports, carrying wheat and corn in bulk. She returned from the other side on her last voyage partially ballasted with dirt. It was owing to the latter that the growth of grain ;was. possible, . ; t; The interesting discovery was made bya foremast hand who had occasion to go into the hold. He reported to the captain that the Elwick was grow ing a wheat crop, Capt. Clark made an investigation and found that such was indeed the cn,,,.,,, Many grains of "'wheat" remained secreted in nooks and corners in the hold, after the ship ' had been f dis charged on the other side, and the pitching of the vessel on her trip to the United States caused them to fall upon the dirt. The grain soon sprouted in' the warm and damp hold and it now presents a remarkable appearance. 1 I have several articles of furniture, bought last August, which I wish to dis pose of befors I move away the last of August. - . , C.

From 229 seres, John Mclntyra has an average of 30 bushels. W. R. Taylor's yield is 30 bushels to the acre. . A. L. Swaggart's field north of town netted him 87 bushels per acre. The George Gross place of 875 acrea is reported to be good for 80 bushels to the acre. On this place a 12-foot header averaged 82 acres per day. ' From 60 acres T. J. Kirk threshed 1480 sacks, averaging 5!) bushels to the acre. From another 80, 1188 sacks were threshed, or 35 bushels per acre. . Brown Sc Hodgen, from 80 acres, pro duced 1461 sacks, being 43 bushels per acre. Another field of 155 acres netted the firm 3203 sacks, being an average of 50 bushels. . . Duncan Mclutyre got 3112 sacks from 145 acres, the average being 50 bushels per acre and testing tfl'i pounds to the bushel. , , ' . t reuillelim Mcital 8lit.

' Daily Union, (Junction City, Kan.:) Campbell Brothers' big show came in early this morning from McPherson where it showed yesterday to a large, satisfied audience. About 10:30 the pa rade took place and it was witnessed by an enormous crowd , of people, much larger, in fact, than was expected. Washington street was lined with peo ple on both sides. People were present from all parts of the county eager to see the pirade and attend the performances, The parade was much better than the people expected to see and as a result the attendance at the show this after noon was very large. 1 Before the per formance commenced .it Beemed that every seat was occupied which is saying a good deal '" when it i known that Campbell Bros.' main tent is an enor mous affair. What's" more, everybody seemed to have got their money's worth and was well satisfied with the perform ance. ; ; ' " ' ' ' One nice. thing about this circus van the absence of the usual troop of fakirs and gamblers.
