THE CROPS.

From every section of the country,
the most encouraging reports are
being received relative to the crops.
The only complaint of wheat is that
it stands too thin on the ground, but
the berry is beautiful-plump, large
and sound. Most farmers sowed
more seed to the acre than common,
but did not make enough allowance
for the "bob tail" Had one-sixth TO
oue-eighth more been allowed for
poor quality of seed, the yield would
have been unequalled by any previ-
Gus year. 1t is a most glorious
thing for Iowa that we have this plen-
tiful yield of wheat and oats, with an
almost certain show for corn being
equally good. The war will give
good prices for breadstuffs, as the
already marked change in prices
prove. The corn in Southern Iowa
has been suffering from drouth, but
the cheering news now comes to US
that they have had copious showers,
and that corn is safe. Early potatoes
have not done as well as we could
wish, yet we will have plenty and to
spare; and instead of the doleful
cries we heard a month ago about
wheat being failure, one half would
not be cut, etc., we will have the
best crop for years. ...... ...

Iowa CoUNTY.-In speaking of
the Iowa County Convention held
on the 9th inst, the Progressive Re
publican, published at Marengo says:
Gas will be seen by the proceedings
of the convention, the delegates
were nearly unanimous in their pref
erence for Judge Loughridge to rep
resent us in the next Congress. Of
the townships represented in the con-
vention, only one voted solid against
him, and gentlemen present claimed
that the delegates did not really rep
resent the sentiment of the people
of their township. Troy township
was divided, two of the delegates
supporting Clark while the other one
supported the popular can didate.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

The Democracy of the Fourth
Congressional District, met at New
ton, Wednesday the 18th inst, and
upon the first ballot nominated Hon.
WILLIAM T. SMITH of this city as
candidate for Congress, to be beaten
this fall by Hon. WILLIAM LouGH-
RIDGE. Mr.. Smith is an old resident
of this county, has long been identi-
fed with its business interests. and
personally has many friends, but pc.
litically he will find the picking very
meagre indeed. Mr.. Smith has not
been candidate for years before,
and what could induce him, (if it
was done with his consent) to allow
his name to be used in connection
with this certain defeat, is more
than we can surmise; though he
made use of the expression in their
late county convention that he would
rather be defeated on the Democrat
ic ticket, than elected on the Re-
publican, and as the latter is impos'
sible, to him, he has chosen the
former which is certain. His only
opposition for the questionable hon
or of the nomination, was John p.
Irish, of johnson county, but as
John was the candidate two years
ago, and only beaten by little over
1900 majority, they concluded to
adopt the one term principle, and
divide the h0nors. Gentlemen we
are with you to the end.

Terrible Rayages ofSmaIl Pox among the
Indians,

ieTIiGie hdFdSeS OF oman FOA among TIC
Indians.
OMAHA, July 19.
Advices received to day from the
vicinity of Malk l;iver giving the
particulars OF terrible ravages of sm.ll
pox among the Gros Ventres Indians.
An Indian chief died with this dis.
ease and the Indians dug him up and
got the blanket infection which spread
through the camp, and within a few
days 700 out of 1900 died. A shirt
infected was left on the trail of the
PECAN Indians by man named De-
roche which caused ravages in that
tribe. The robes in which these In
dams were buried, were examined
and sold to travellers, and the report
says one car load of these small pox
robes are in Buntah Station on the
U. p. X. r., awaiting inspection be.
fore being forwarded east.
