Dr. ALANUs, a German physician, who
has been living upon vegetarian diet,
and who is still under 40 years of age,
thinks he has been making a mistake,
that he has discovered his arteries be-
coming atheromatous, and that this re-
suits from his mode of diet. Atheroma
is sort of degenerative disease of one
of the coats of the blood vessels,
which generally comes on late in life,
but it has occurred in many meat eat
er under 40 years of age, and DR.. Alanus
may be entirely mistaken in supposing
there is any relation of cause and effect
between his vegetarian diet and his
softening arteries. We do not actually
deny it, but we should require more than
one instance to prove it. There is
nothing to be had from meats for the
nutrition of any part of the body which
cannot. also be had from vegetables,
fruits, nuts and cereals by ajudicious Sc

IOWA WEATHER-CROPS

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept IS, 1890.
The mean temperature during the
past week was slightly below FORMAL
throughout the state. the deficiency
at the Central Station was 10 degrees.
The week closed with cold wave,
tipped with hoar frost extending
throughout the state, OF sufficient
severity to to kill tender vines and
belated corn. An average amount OF
sunshine prevailed.
RAINFALL-1here was less than an
average amount of rainfall, but u few
counties in the southern half OF the
state report considerable excess.
CONDITION OF CRoPs-Favorable
conditions prevailed the larger part
OF the week for maturing crops In the
northern half OF the state, ana reports
show that at least 80 per cent OF the
corn in that section is fully ripened.
In the soathern half the bulk of crop
is safe, and more than the usual
amount has been cut and shocked
The crop observers have this week
given estimates OF the average yield
OF corn per acre in their respective
fields OF observation. On the basis
of these estimates the average in the
counties reported is 81 bushels per
acre. Making due allowance for ex-
aggerations, and for damage by frost,
1t is safe to estimate the average yield
Of sound, merchantable corn, to he
fully "a bushels per acre, which is
about 80 per cent OF our ten years
average in Iowa.

ARTHUR HAS THEM
Whisperings Among the Engineers
in Re gard to Powederly's Letters.

A New York dispatch says: II GER
tain things that are being whispered
in the inner circles of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers are true it is
not surprising that Chiel Arthur con-
temptuously ignored the request made
OF him by NJ. Powderly during the
recent strike TO define the position OF
engineers. According to a prominent
member OF the Brotherhood the entire
correspondence that pass between
Powderly and Vice President Stone,
of the Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy
road during the memorable strike on
that road is in the hands OF Chief
Arthur and his fellow officers. 1t is
declared by people who are suppose !
to know that the publication OF this
whatever its tenor
may be, would compel the immediate
resignation OF Powderly as IN officer
OF the Knights. While it is not claim
ed that Chief Arthur is holding the
correspondence in question as "a club
over the head OF his fellow-laborer
leader, the fact remains that Powder
ly beyond his first letter has not
sought to repeat his demands upon
the engineers that they should keep
hands of.

WORLDS FAIR SITE

Finally Chosen.

The directors of the worlds fair,
at a meeting Sept. 9th affirmed their
choice OF some months ago and select
ed the dual site OF the lake front and
jackson park as the place for the
location OF the great exhibition. The
lake front is u long, grass covered
common on the edge of Lake Michigan
and. bordering the business centre of
Chicago. 1t contains at present about
ninety acres. II Is the design to
place thereon grand entrance to the
exposition and building for tue arts
and kindred displays. jackson park
is also on the lake shore, about five
miles from the court house, and is TO
have the agricultural, live stock, and
other exhibits Of that nature, besides
others OF general interest. Four
hundred acres are available in Jack
son park, and has wide approaches
thereto, which were recently added TO
the original tender. The two sites
are to be go connected by rail and
water accommodations that but few
minutes will be spent in passing from
one locality to the other. The final
and decisive ballot on the site ques.
ton resulted: Lake front and Jack
son park, %; north side, A; west side,
8. The choice Of the dual site was
then made unanimous.
No action was taken regarding the
appointment OF director general. A

A TRAIN WRECKED.
One Passenger Killed and a Num-.
Der Seriously Hurt.

The through Kansas City express on
the Missouri Pacific railway which
left st. Louis at 9 o'clock on the night
OF Sept 1ith. was partially wrecked
at Glencoe Switch, about twenty-seven
miles west of st. Louis. One passen-
ger was killed and fifteen injured, four
fatally. The st. Joseph sleeper left
the track, while the Wichita sleeper
almost cleared it. The locomotive kept
to the rails. A relief train left st.
Louis for thescene Of the wreck. At
2:i0 o'clock an engine and baggage
car arrived at Twenty-second street,
where carriages and ambulances were
waiting to convey the wounded to the
hospital. The feeble lamps OF the
lanterns of the baggage car which had
been improvised into hospital, cast
a dull light over the pallid faces OF the
victims OF the wreck. The names OF
those injured, as far as could be learned,
are: Mrs. Mary Lott, Kansas City,
probably fatal, abdominal confusion.

DIPLOMATIC LAW.
The Recall OF our Minister to Qua.
temala Predicted.

From sources very close to the state
department In Washington and which
are not by any means controlled by polit-
ical predictions, it is learned that the
department anything but satisfied
with the il alton so far received
from Minist. nerof Guatemala, and
that his recatl an early date is next
door 10 an absolute certainty. Instead
of using the cable TO the extent that
an act like the killing of General Bar
rundia would have warranted, his dis
patches on the subject have been very
meager and indefinite, although he
spread himself the other day in u dis
patch concerning the definite conclu-
sion OF peace and the disbandment OF
the opposing armies which might have
been told in half the words. A repub-
lican who is recognized as being highly
versed in diplomatic law and usage,
says that there are grave fears, even
upon the insufficient evidence at hand,
that Mizncr used the weight of the in
fluence OF the United States far too
much in the interests OF Guatemala.
II it is true that he advised the gov
eminent of that country that they
possessed the right TO seize the general
upon the the vessel, or advise the
master of the vessel TO surrender the
general, then, in the opinion OF this
gentlaman, he certainly, under all
diplomatic law, exceeded his author
ity. The most he could or should
have done was to have made the cap
tain of the vessel acquainted with the
principles of international law govern
ing the case, and then to have left
him free to use his own judgment as
to the proper course to pursue. At
any rate an investigation under the
auspices OF the state department must
inevitably be had, and this will be
tantamount to placing Miner upon
his defense.

SEALS GETTING SCARCE.

P0aching the Cause.

A letter received from one OF the
crew OF the sealing schooner Triumph,
which arrived at one ofthe coast ports
recently, says that the bad luck COM
planned of by the North American
Commercial company has been shared
by the poachers. Seals we're remark
ably scarce. The schooner San Diego
is reported to have taken /, 100 skins.
The schooner Mary Ellen, which was
wrecked, was repaired and caught 200
seals The Triumph openly boasts OF
having done all OF her sealing In
Bchring sea. She entered the sea
July 10 and sealed until August %.
She saw revenue cutters several times,
but nothing was said to her by the
officers. Before leaving Behring sen
she sighted sealing schooner which
reported the loss OF six boats during
the fog. This schooner was probably
the G. +. White. The schooner re-
ports the total catch OF fourteen seal
ers at 2,274 skins.
