IOWA CROP REPORTS.
Encouraging Eefuans in Regard TO the
Growing Corn, Wheat and
Oats Crops.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 6-The follow
ing crop reports have been telegraphed
by the associated press from points in
Iowa:
npOrt-Reports from Wyoming,
Fayette, Muscatine, Fairfield, Wilton,
Brooklyn and Newton, and from the
vicinity OF this city are very favorable
for crops. The past three days storm
seems to have had no other effect than
to impede the farmers .work. In some
places the wind has tangled the wheat
and barley.
Ames-COrn will not be over half
crop, and if much more rain falls small
grain will be injured.
Observation-Disclosures corn is bad
ly damaged, but on highlands it is in
good condition. Wheat and oats are
unhurt.
Tama-Rains have done much dam
age in this section, but if the weather
continues good now crops will not suffer.
The lowlands have been overlooked.
Observation-Disclosures have done but
little injury 10 any Of the crops, and
farmers state that there will be good
yield, provided 70 more rain falls.
Luzerne-The rains of the last few
weeks have injured the crops greatly.
Grains are beginning TO rust, and farm
ers say il the wet weather continues
another week wheat and barley will not
be worth cutting.
Magnoketa-There is a good prospect
for all grains, but corn is very backward.
No danger Of rust in wheat.
State Center-COTn suffering much on
account OF wet weather, which prevents
blowing; other cereals doing finely.
LondOn-R4in has not injured crops
in this vicinity.
Stanw0od-CrOps in fine condition.
Colo-Rain has injured the small
grain considerably.
Clsrence-CrOps never looked better;
rains have done no damage.
NOrway-Crops looking well; rain
would, however, do much damage.
DubUque-RepOrts from Dubuque, Del.
aware, Buchanan, Jones, Linn, Bremen.
Chickasaw, Floyd, Mitchell, Butcher,
Franklin, Hardin, Hamilton, Webster,
Ca houn, Pocahontas, Buena Vista,
Cherokee and Plymouth counties state
that the recent rains have not damaged
the small grains to any great extent. In
few localities some have been blown
down and lodged, but wheat, oats and
barley generally promise large yield.
One-tenth more acres are under crop
than last year. Corn looks bad, and is
very weedy, the wet weather preventing
the farmers from working it. In few
billy sections it is badly washed. The
prospects are hardly an average crop,
though few weeks OF warm, pleasant
weather may alter the situation entirely.

OUR CRACK SHOTS.
Overwhelming Enthusiasm On the Oe-
casiOn OF Ihefr Arrival at
Belfast, Ireland.

BELFAST, July 6.-The American
team arrived in this city this evening.
Their reception surpassed even that
given them when they entered Dublin.
Mayor Lindsay and the corporation OF
the city were at the station to receive
them as they stepped from the train,
and escorted them to carriages. The
crowd in and around the depot filled
all the available space. A procession
was formed, and the guests made
triumphant entry into the city. They
passed through streets festooned with
banners and packed on each side by
crowds apparently comprising the entire
population. The cheering was unCeas-
ing from the moment they left the sta
ton till they reached the Imperial hotel.
There the popular enthusiasm was so
great and the calls for the captain of
the team were so urgent that the mayor
introduced Colonel Gildersleeve, who
received round after round of applause.
Colonel Gildersleeve thanked the citi-
zens for their cordial reception, and the
mayor then introduced Major LeeCh,
who was received with great applause.
He said the highest honor that could
be paid to him and the Ilish team was
in the cordial welcome the people OF
Belfast had given their conquerors.
The visitors then entered the hotel and
dined with the mayor and members of
the city government. Later in the even
ing they attended a fete, given in
their honor at the Botanic gardens. On
their way to the place Of festivIty, they
found the streets crowded with people
whose enthusiasm was irresponsible.
The gardens presented q gala appear
ance. Fifteen thousand persons were
present, and repeated cheers were given
for the Americans. Before leaving Dub
lin Colonel Gildersleeve and other
members of the team visited and took
leave of the lord-mayor and other prom
inent citizens. A large assemblage
witnessed their departure from
Dublin, including all who had as
sisted in their entertainment, and near
ly all American residents. Loud cheers
and shouts of goodbye were
given as the train left the depot. On
the road welcoming crowds were col
lected at every station between Dublin
and Belfast, and many church spiIeJ
were tagged. AT Port-a-down the rail
road company provided special train
for the visitors for the remainder Of the
journey. Letters were received by
Colonel Gildersleeve to-day, pro-
posing that at Wimbledon the Amer
leans shoot against picked team of
English, Irish and Scotch maTksmen.
The gentlemen Of the Irish team believe
the Englishmen are frightened and
want to back down. 1t is remarked of
scenes in Ballast that no such demon
stratiOn Of popular enthusiasm has been
known there within twenty years.

THE Aberdeen Examiner gives the
farmers OF the prairie some good advice
relative to a proper disposition OF their
corn crop. II says that the making Of
al immense supersbundsnce Of corn in
Monroe county is almost reduced to n
certainty now, but whether assured or
not, it is not too early to plan for
its disposition ia the event that
the present brilliant promise is full
filled. 1t cannot be consumed, and
farmers are not prepared to store it, so
plethOric is the promise Of mother ma
ture. 1t cannot be shipped, therefore
our cOtemporsry advises that the west
be drawn upon for "stock hogs" and
that the farmers make and save their
own meat, thus obtaining the best posi-
bic market for their corn; saving many
days rstiOns CT fresh pork for their
hands from those portions Of the hog
that are never utilized for shipment by
the packer, saving their own lard, bris-
Ties, ETC., and a better article Of bacon
than was ever yet shipped to this coun-
try from any region-the good old-fssh-
iDned, home-oured meat that our
people lived on before and dur
ing the war. While the ma
jority Of these hogs will be fattened with
a view to slaughter, q considerable pro-
portion will be purchased with view to
stock raising, and thus a two-fold object
will be obtained. In order to combat
the argument "that the negroes will
steal them" We would suggest, in the
first place, that the negroes be enlisted
in the enterprise, and induced to become
mest-mskers aud stock-raisers; in the
second place, it will pay any planter
vino undertakes to raise hogs or fatten
them, TO keep good swine-herd, and so
make the cultivation. of pork a paying

mented year by year. 1t is believed by
the scientific investigators of these facts
that the cause has principally been
the clearing away OF the fOrest-growth
on the mountains. The govern
ment has taken some measures to-
ward restoring itsgrowth, but these have
so recently gone into operation that as
yet their effect can scarcely be paipable.
Doubtless the circumstances Of the pres
ent disaster will be the subject OF more
thorough and searching scrutiny than
has heretofore been attempted. In this
country there is a doubt whether the de-
structiOn of our forests and the barring
OF our tree-cOvered slopes will cause any
permanent injury to our rivers or our
climate. Our men Of science seem to
be somewhat divided on this point. We
shall look to the results of the investi-
CATION in France for new light on the
subjec'. The cslamities Of nations are
the lessons OF the world.

ANOTHEK RAILROAD WAR.
Ths East Tennessee and Virginia Rail-
road and the sOuIh Carolina
Railroad Refuse 60 Enter
any Continuation.
Atlanta lGa.) Herald, I'd.

Atlanta iGa.l Herald, "a.
The railroad convention in session at
the Kimball house for the past few days,
was thrown into little disorder by the
refusal OF the East Tennessee and Vir-
ginia Airline and the South Carolina
railroads to enter the pooling cOmbina-
ton offreights, proposed 10y the various
other lines. They did not object 10 the
reduction in rates, but held that it was
their privilege 10 act Independently.
Finding thst these roads were positive
in their refusal TO enter the combination,
the other roads threatened to make ev-
cry Discrimination possible against
these lines if they did not enter the
pool. The convention, after discussing
the matter for some time, decided to
give the East Tennessee and Virginia
Airline and the South Carolina roads
ten DAYS time to consider the matter.
At the end OF that time, il these roads
still refuse TO enter the pool, they pro-
pose taking harsh action.
Knoxville Press and Herald
From the above it will be seen that
the action Of the representatives Of the
Virginia and Tennessee Airline, at the
recent convention in Atlanta, did not
meet the views Of the other lines. Off
GERS on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia road are very reticent on the
subject, but enough is developed to in
dictate their full confidence in the ability
Of their line to protect itself, even II

denly become such favorite phrase in
fhe mouths of the gentlemen-be used.
We feel sure that something has been
said or done that has not been calculated
to produce harmony or increase the good
feeling which Was expected.

A Saloon War.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 6.-For some
days q warm conflict has been going on
in Westerville, in this county, between
the citizens of the town and one Henry

til yesterday the war had been one of
words, but last night some unknown
parties secretly placed gunpowdeT in the
saloon building, connecting with it 8
fuse, which caused an explosion to occur
about midnight, blowing out the win
dows and door Of the building and rails
ing the roof about four inches. To-day,
upon COrben's application, warrants
were issued for the arrest of the preach
aIs Of the various churches in Wester-
vile, the postmaster and four other citi-
