COLE WAVE IN THE WEST.
The Mott Phenomenal Temporal ure in
Years--A White Frost.

BURLINGTON, IA, August 24.-The
most phenomenal cold wave for years is
prevailing over Southwest Iowa at pres
ent.
1t came unexpectedly and was so
sharp that late garden truck had a mar
row escape. The mercury fell from 80
degrees in the shade to 35 in less than
twenty-four hours and nothing but
cloudy weather and heavy winds pre-
vented killing frosts.
Corn in this section is so far advanced
that the cold will have little effect on
it. Crops in Southwest Iowa and ad-
Joining portions Of Illinois and Missouri
are unusually !ylarge, and there is nothing
but long continued rains or an early
freeze that can injure them. Farmers
are not apprebensive OF either. The
mercury now is about 500 above zero.

A Quick Job.

The steamer Monowai returned to
San Francisco Friday afternoon
February 18th; was locked at the
Oceanic Wharf about 4P. NJ. The
work of repairing the machinery was
placed in the hands of the R:sdou
Iron Works with instructions to get
the ship ready for sea at the earliest
possible moment. Fortunately the
Risdon Company had spare shaft
on hand, which was brought into
service. New couplings were forged
upon it; and the new shaft WAS fin
ished and put on the ship on Thurs
day, the 18th, and the ship made
ready for sea by Friday, the Doth.
Had it not been for the spare shalt
the ship would undoubtedly have
been detained week longer, and the
Alameda sent back in her place.
The officers aud agent of the Mo-
nowai were more than pleased with
the manner in which the repairs
were completed, and had no idea of
getting away before February oath.

the two teams appeared on the COL
lege grounds ready to fight for the
laurels. Prof. Wood umpired the
