Railroad Rumors.


There have been no developments
anent the Nebraska Central road since
our last issue, though the conversation
between Engineer Chas. III. Boyten and
w. II. Neff and John G. Bonwell is al
together encouraging to the Audubon
county people who want the road. Boy
tens duty was to investigate the line
between Coon Rapids and Council
Bluffs. These gentlemen accompanied
him as far as Avoca, and he freely told
them that he was happily disappointed
in the line, though little more grad
ing would be necessary than the COM
pany desired to do, but the difference
will probably not prove sufficient to de-
ter them from this route. Boyten stat
ed that the company ask only the right
of way. Boyten has been engineering
in Tennessee, Kentucky and the Virgin
las for thirty-tlve years and the COM
paratiyely smooth territory of Iowa
may prove an illusion to him. How.
ever, 1t is certain that his report to the
directory will be favorable to the Avoca,
Audubon and Coon Rapids route, and
it is reasonably certain that prelimi.
nary survey will be made very soon,
though in any event there will be no
construction until next year.
SIOUX CITY, BALTIMORE s. CHICAGO.
A railroad company has recently been
organized in Sioux City styled the Sioux
City, Baltimore Il Chicago. The Sioux
City Journal of a recent date contains
the following;
''rhe surveying party that has been
working for the Sioux CITY, Baltimore
n Chicago company for several days
past has completed the location of q
line to Anthem, on the Little Sioux,
thirty miles east of here, and grade
stakes have been set to the end of the
location. From Anthem preliminary
has been run that gets out Of the Sioux
valley by an easy grade through q
waterway to the southeast. The first
town IL passes through east of Anthem
Is Battle Creek, u town on the Chicago
81 North Western, in the southwest
part of Ida county. From this place
the line runs southeast into Crawford
county, where the corps are now at
work. Members of the party state that
they have been told that the survey
will be carried az far southeast as Des
Moines this fall, and that In all prob
ability another party will be put in tho
field to locate after them"
Audubons possibilities for securing
this line are equally good il pushed. IL
they run the line into Crawford county
as now proposed, they will not find d
profitable field to go east through Craw-
ford and Carroll county and thus par.
allel the Northwestern and Milwau,
kee. They must then cone south 10 n
limo between the Milwaukee and Rock
Island and thus run u line to Des
Moines through the richest agricultural
region OF western Iowa. In this case
there would be good chance of max.
ing Audubon division station.
Tho probability OF getting both roads
Is quite remote, perhaps chimerlcal, but
both will strike for good paying terri.
tory and there IL none more inviting
than Audubon county. Ii will be wise
to keep an eye on both lines and If they
are coming in this vicinity, make n
special effort and run them right
through the best town of its size in tho
state,

Weather and Crop Report.

This has been by far the hottest week
of the season, and most favorable for
the rapid growth of corn. The mean
temperature for the state was about
eighty degrees, or nearly six degrees
above the normal. The change is es-
pecially notable from the fact that the
score of every preceding week has rang
ed from two to nine degrees below u
tanned very high per cent of humidity,
making the heat much more oppressive
to man and beast. In many localities
frequent showers have damaged hay
or seriously interfered with hay MAX
ing.
1t has been an ideal week for corn.
which has made marvellous growth.
In the most advanced fields it is fully
tasseled and gives promise OF fair
yield In fully one third of the state,
comprising the larger part of the east
ern districts, it will not be possible to
produce more than half an average
crop. In even the most favored dis
tricts there are many fields wherein the
stand is poor, and the yield must fall
much below the average.
The harvest of oats will be in pro-
gress the coming week. This crop is
very uneven, and in many localities
considerable damage has been caused
by rust, The crop has also suffered
some loss by tho severe wind storms of
the past week, which hattened the
heavier growth of straw. Barley cut
ting has begun, and with favoring
weather fair crop will be secured, -

Charged With Hienous Crime.

Mr.. l.. w. Bloodgood, of Audubon
township, was brought before Justice
Myers yesterday morning on a warrant
sworn out by his wife Sarah +. Blood
good charging him with the crime of
incest, the victim being Miss Bessie
fourteen years of age. Bloodgood
waived preliminary examination, and
was bound over to the next grand jury
The bail was fixed at $3.50, but this he
has not yet furnished and is basking in
the shades of the county jail. Mrs,
Bloodgood instituted similar proceed
ings before Justice Anderson, of Au-
dubon township some ten days ago. but
withdrew the charge before hearing
was had. Bloodgood stoutly affirms
that the charge is false, but what de-
Tense he will set up is as yet unknown.
1t is said that the feeling against him
in Audubon township is intense, and
that the Jail is the best summer resort
he can find, but his general reputation
is said to have been good, and it can
not be believed that his neighbors
would wish him violence before the
charge Is more clearly established. The
man is accused of the most revolving
crime In the category, for which there
Is no adequate punishment, but until
pronounced guilty he should be given
the benefit Of the doubt. The penalty
for incest is confinement in the peni-
Tertiary for not less thar. one or more
than ton years. His wife has instituted
divorce proceedings.

Dropped Dead.

Mr.. Henry Bruner died very sudden
ly at his home in Extra yesterday. Mr..
Bnner and his aged wife have been
living alone, and the latter has been in
poor health for some months and the
care of her devolved largely upon the
husband. This together with the ter
rible heat of the past two weeks has
aggravated his heart disease, from
which he died while sitting in his chair.
Mr.. Bruner was in the seventies and
the father of Mr.. w. II. Bruner, who
was the republican candidate for sher~
iif last year.
