WATERLOO, IOWA, Sept. 70, 1881.
ED. HERALD I'm reading your ever well
come paper l find many complaints about
the drouth, and also about the intense sum-
mer heat and came to the conclusion that
an item from Iowa might be Of some inter
est to the many readers of the HERALD.
We have had an awful hot summer here
in Blackhawk county, but have not suffered
from drouth as our native county of
Somerset has. While the southern part OF
this state is scorched and crops are almost q
total failure. Here the thermometer has
registered 1852 in the shade; it has been q
very common thing to see it up to 1902 and
1869 but the crops are not such as to be
complained of. The average yeield of oats
is from 30 to 35 bushels per acre. Corn from
80 to 60 bushels per acre. There is but little
wheat raised in this part Of the state. The
present prices are what we call good for this
western country. Waterloo market to-day
is as follows Oats, 80 cts. corn, 50 cts. /;
patatoes, IS cts. live hogs, sc per hundred
think some Of the readers would be as
tonished to see the large fields Of corn that
are raised here Mr. J. J. Emcrt, formerly
of Somerset county, has 100 acres of corn
this season. He built barn this year, 100
x5G, that cost 1000; there are not many
barns in old Somerset that beat this.

The reports during the course of illess of
President Garfield, viii do much to shake
popular faith in medical practitioners.-
Granted, that there are cases in which the
members of the so-called healing art, " can
not rescue their patients from the jaws of
death, there should be certain degree Of
propriety observed by them, which would
not allow their statements to exaggerate the
chances of recovery, when if they were as
well posted in the details oftheir profession as
their claimed knowledge prcsumes, they
should be fully aware that there are no
chances of recovery. 1t is well understood
that many bulletins from the bedside of the
late President did not truthfully reflect his
true condition. Even few moments be-
fore his death. an attending physician pro-
nounced him as doing WELL" So utterly
unreliable were the daily bulletins from the
sick bed that Secretary Blaine. and affer-
wards Attorney General Macveagh, were
obliged to exercise an undue amount of care
in the formation of their dispatches to Eng
land, lest they might make mistakes and
render themselves liable to the charge Of
misstatement II is one thing to minister
to the needs of a patient and another TO
misrcpresent his actual condition. No
amount of energy and self-sacrifice with
which all of the Presidents attendants must
be justly credited, can condonc for their
childish statements of his recovery, when,
If they understood his case. they must have
been aware that he was on the road TO death
and not to "convaIescencc" or recovery, as
they falsely stated

If there is aught that could alleviate the
sorrow of Mrs. Garfield at the loss Of low
ed husband. is must be found in the sympa-
thy that has followed her, and which FORUM
ately mas taken such practical shape that
she will at least be removed from care as to
her future. Perhaps the most touching tri-
butte that one woman could give 10 another,
is that of Queen Victoria OF England, her
self widowed by the loss of congenial
companion, years ago who has, from the
first illness of the President manifested a
deep interest in his condition. There are
many of her subjects who accuse her of
coldness and indifference TO the general
welfare of her people, but this must be a
mistake. At all events Mrs. Garfield, for
whom she has, in her many dispatches, ex.
hibited an almost sisterly regard and
thoughtful sympathy, especially in her last
afIectionate tribute. on the receipt of the
news Of the death of President. will, as all
OF our people must, return her heartfelt
thanks. In placing her court in mourning
for the death of President Garfield, she has
paid complimentary tribute never before
offered by monarchy to Republican Amer
ica Sorrow makes us all kin, and the
United States must recognize and will ap-
preciate the grateful tribute of the Queen to
a sister in aflliction and country in mourn
ing.

oRrorE OBSERVATIONS.

Activity IN Baltimore and Certainty of
such Royal Time as Never Before had
Anywhere.
The busy notes Of preparation are heard
on all sides in baltimore, and the Oriole will
prove an event, the equal Of which In bril-
liancy. splcndor and extent was never
known in this country. From Monday
morning to the wee small hours Of Wednes-
day night, there will be one constant sue
succession Of brilliant spectacles. The pa
gcant Tucsdsy night the nth. will be daz-
zling in the extreme. Tie floats upon which
the tableaux will be shown are OF unusually
large dimensions. being placed upon rail-
road tracks and run over the line Of march
upon street car tracks. This enables the
construction of the tableaux upon . very
large scale, and insures 30 steady and solid
a transit rs to afford almost no end Of OPP
portunity for display. Not only will the
line Of march be illuminated from one end
TO the other, but the entire city will be
lighted by electric, calcium and otherlights.
1t will indeed be such night as will live in
memory for years to come. The decorations
throughout the city will Of themselves be
worthy Of journey to look upon. Balti-
more demonstrated her great taste in this
line at the Sesqui-Centennial last year, and
the Improvements she will make this year
will surprise all. Everybody appears to be
interested in the event and Oriole is the
talk of the town. The municipal authori-
ties will make the reception to the distin-
guished Frenchmen the most noteworthy
of any that will be rendered them during
their stay in this country. The most brill
liant festivities will be inaugurated In their
honor, and the grand ball and carnival with
which the three days will end promises to
eclipse all previous attempts at such sort Of
thing anywhere in the country. Every care
will be taken by the b. & o. to provide the
best of accommodation for the transporta-
tion of the immense crowds which will go
from the line of the road to Baltimore. The
exceedingly low rate of one-half the usual
fare proves very popular, as also the ten
days limit on the tickets.

One reason for the widespread grief, be-
cause of the sad ending of our late Presi-
dents career, seems TO have been overlook
ed. In fact it may be said to be the primal
motor leading to such profound national
sorrow and regret, that his life in thissphere
has been brought to an untimely end. And
that is the knowledge, that beyond all his
capacity as public man, as legislator, as
an efficient executive, he was a pure and
true man. Pure in his relations TO his wife,
true in his affection and love for his family.
II is this trait in this mans character, which
more than any other, has endeared him to
the people at large, and its influence upon
the public mind will not be lost. The ele-
walton of such man as Garfield. to the
most prominent position in the Govern
ment, mark ed an epoch in the domestic life
of the people. After all, it is the man him
self whose death is regretted, as well as that
of the President of the United States

The forest fires south of town did consid-
cradle damage in the way of destroying
fences and valuable timber last week. The
HEEALD's prcssman, Mr.. Charles Kline, lost
nearly every fence or his small farm.
Thursday night the fire came into such close
proximity of Mr.. John Kantner's premises
that for time it was feared all would be
destroyed. A large crowd of men and boys
from town went down to Mr. Hammers as
sistancc, and by fighting fire with fire"
succeeded in saving his property. His barn
was on fire several times, but the flames
We're extinguished before much damage
could be done. II is said that the fires orig
mated from the engines on the :. & C. Il.

ers on. If this be true the railroad COM
pany should be held responsible for the
damages sustained.
