Iowa's Crop Failure.

There will be no Sioux City corn
palace this year, nor other exultant
expression of rejoicing over the crop
conditions of Hawkeyedom. The
fields Of Iowa are scorched and in an
almost barren waste. it may be said.
Corn is stinted, parched and prema-
turely dried up. The golden grain
is not king in the state of Iowa this
year. and the same dismal outlook
may apply to other cereals. The
outlook is bad in Illinois. it is dis
couraging in Kansas, in Nebraska
and Minnesota. but Iowa. the pride
of grain-growing states, whose liber-
ality to Russia in time of famine
merited the admiration Of the world,
presents the most deplorable pros
pect OF all. Thrice sowed fields are
devastated under whitening blasts
that will draw no tears from the
clouds, although they will from hu-
mainly later on.
The business men of Iowa, who, as
IN other states. rely upon the pro-
ducts of agriculture as the chief
source of sustenance, are frank in
their admissions of the unfavorable
conditions. A crop failure is &C
knowledged. and the drummer is feel
ing the effects in every corner of the
state already.

little beating down it is not believed the
damage to the late rice will be great.
FIGURES OF THE CROP.
The early rice, however, was pretty
near all cut and stacked in the fields. Not
over 10000 bushels of the $4,000 raised
around Savannah have been marketed. 1t
is estimated that nearly 100000 bushels
were cut and stacked on the fields wait
ing to be thrashed. Some efforts have
been made by the planters to tie this
down or anchor it in some way to keep it
from being blown and washed away, but
it is believed that it will be pretty well
scattered about and considerably dam
aged.
Few reports have been received from
sea island cotton districts, but the cotton
that was we'll opened and in the path of
the storm will undoubtedly suffer. Lots
Of storm cotton were brought
into Savannah last year after
the August storm, and so small
is the demand for this damaged sea island
cotton that it cannot be made to bring
half price. The chances are the effect of
the storm will be like a bull in the sea
island market, and those who have been
predicting crop Of 5000 bales may come
down little in their figures.
WITH THE POLICE.
The police barracks reported last night
that no accidents or serious damage of
any kind from the storm had been re-
ported there. The Gamewell system was
working well.
A large oak tree was uprooted at South
Broad and Drayton streets last night. 1t
had been weakened by last years storm
and had been propped up.
Supt. Fleming OF the Savannah Flor
ida and Western railway was on train Is,
which was stopped by the washout at the
sixty mile post last night, and imme-
diately set wrecking train to work to
repair the damage. The train is expected
to arrive here about $50 this morning.

ALDERMEN DIDN'T COME OUT.
The Council Fails to M set for Lack of
q Quorum

The city council did not meet last night
owing to the inability to secure quo
rum. The appealed liquor cases which
were to have been heard will probably be
taken up at the next regular meeting.
Mayor McDonough was very anxious to
have a meeting to dispose of the regular
business of council. To this end ne in
structed the city marshal 10 send car
rlages to the houses of the aldermen in
order to make certain of their attendance.
There was some misunderstanding, how
ever, and only four of the aldermen ar
rived at the council chamber. This pre-
vents any meeting for attention to regular
business until the first regular meeting in
October.
Among the matters which were 20 have
been passed upon was the petition for
transfer of the license of n. c. Pearson
from under the Marshall house to No. l23
Bryan street, whi, b was favorably passed
upon by the committee of the whole at its
meeting this week. 1t is understood that
the ote of the committee upon this cues
ton was very close, and the failure Of the
council to act upon the matter last night
makes the result uncertain, as some of
the aldermen now absent from the citv
will probably return by the next regular
meeting. There is likely to be lively
discussion of this matter when it is taken
uD.

EFFECT OF THE LIGHTS.
The Nearness of the Storm Clouds
Made It Unusual.

The Nearness Of the Storm Clouds
Made It Unusual.
An interesting incident of the storm
last night was the effect of the electric
street lights on the situation. Owing to
disturbance of the wires, the current
was not turned on the lights at sunset, as
usual, and darkness came on early. And
when it came, it was darkness that could
be almost felt. The streets were
shrouded in Zimmerman blackness.
against which patches of red, pink and
green light shone through the glass pan
els of front doors and windows. The
sidewalks and roadways, however, were
all darkness intensified.
Later in the evening, however,
the electric light wires were un-
tangled and the current turned on.
Immediately the city was re-
vived. For, Notwithstanding the heavy
clouds overhead and the thickness of the
weather generally, the streets and even
the alleys became light; lighter at dis
tances from the street lamps than they
are on cloudless and moonless nights.
The appearance of the streets was very
much the same as when the moon is yelled
by thin cloud and is struggling to shine.
The explanation of the phenomenon
may be found IN the fact that the storm
clouds were close to the earth, and re-
tected the electric light rays.

DETERMINATIONS REMOVED.
No More Disadvantage to Savannah
in Rates Within the State.


in Rates Within the State.
AS a result of the work of Capt. D. G..
Purse, president of the Savannah Board
of Trade, in bringing to the attention of
the state railroad commissionthed iscrimi.
nations that existed in rates against Sa-
vannah, those Determinations will be re-
moved practically without the interfer-
ence of the commission.
The complaint was made to the com
mission about a week or two ago that
rates into Savannah from interior points
on almost every class of product were much
higher than they were from Savannah to
those same points. The MORNING NEWS
published statement of those rates at
the time the complaint was made to the
commission, showing how they affected
Savannah, and to what extent the dis
examinations went. Tables showing these
facts were prepared by Capt. Purse, and
they were placed before the commission,
Capt. Purse appeared before the commits
sion in this matter, or was to have done so
last Tuesday, but subsequent facts made
it unnecessary for him TO do so. He went
up to Atlanta, however, and returned to
Savannah yesterday.
1t was found that hearing before the
commission was unnecessary, as Capt
Purse, before going to Atlanta, had had
conference with Receiver Conner and
Traffic Manager Shellman of the Central,
and an agreement had been reached by
which Savannah was to be relieved of all
determinations so TAR as that road was
concerned. This was considered salts
1 factory and an argument before the COM
mission was unnecessary Ii is understood
that Receiver Conner wrote to the COM
mission explaining the position of the
Central railroad in this matter, and
stating that he was ready to see that all
the determinations were removed. This
ended the matter, as the commission was
ready and willing for the matter to be
settled without argument.
There are other determinations against
Savannah, which it is the inten ton Of the
! board OF trade to see removed, but most
of these matters come more properly be-
fore the Interstate commerce commission,
as they are interstate matters For that
reason 1t may be after the establishment
OF the freight bureau at this point before
anything can be done in that direction
Efforts, however, will be made along that
line and, no doubt, much good will be ac-
complished.
AhOAO Will bS q nGGJluk VI Tue COmulG-

tee is going to take up and finish the work
at once and will be ready within a day or
two to report on the cost of such a
bureau, and the manner in which it should
be conducted for the best interests of the
port. 1t is likely that this committee
will report to meeting of the citizens

BAk Nc POWDER.
Better and Cheaper.

The ROYAL BAKING POWDER is more
economical than other brands because of its greater
leavening strength, as shown by both the United
States and Canadian Government reports.
The other baking powders contain from 20 to
50 per cent less leavening gas than the ROYAL.
So the ROYAL, even should it cost more than
the others, would be much the cheaper.
In addition to this the superior flavor, sweet
ness, wholesOmeness and decacy of the food raised
by ROYAL BAKING POWDER would make
any difference in cost Insignificant
