iOWA'S ABUNDANT HARVEST.
Crop of 1895 Has Reen the Largest Garn-
cred Within the Last Ten Years

Crop of 1895 Has Reen the Largest earn
cred Within the Last Ten Years.
DIES MONIES, Sept. 1S.-The Iowa
weekly weather crop bulletin says: For
the state at large the daily mean tenn
perature of the past week was over nine
degrees above the normal. On the 18th
and 18th the wind velocity was high,
with maximum temperature above 50
degrees. Light scattered rains on the
18th and heavy showers on the 10th
gave an abundance of moisture to the
larger portion of the central and
southern districts.
Rapid progress has been made in corn
cutting and, except in very limited
areas, the crop is now we'll matured and
safe from damage by untimely frost.
Better qualities of corn may be cribbed,
however, if the late planted fields can
be exempt from killing frost until the
close of the month.
Fair progress has been made in fall
blowing, and in the larger part of the
state the soil is in good condition. Fall
pasturage is generally good and some
districts report an unusually fine stand
of grain. Potatoes are well matured
and the crop promises fair harvest.
The crops of the state being practic-
ally secure, this issue will close the reg
ular series of weekly weather crop
bulletins for the season. In case of an
unexpected change in the condition of
harvested crops special bulletin will
be issued.
On the whole the crop season of 1895
has been very propitious to the farmers
of Iowa, bringing forth the most abund-
ant harvest garnered within the past 10
years.

Wants Instruments Without DELAY

Sioux City, Sept. l7.-Mandamus
proceedings have been commenced by
Sims Bros, the publishers, to compel
the county auditor to show them instru-
ments in his Office the day they are
fled. The official indexes papers when
they are received, but frequently does
not record them for several days. He
claims he need not show them until
then. He further asserts that it is op-
tional with him to whom he shall show
papers, and that he may demand fee
for his trouble. The plaintiffs assert he
has disposed of the right to publish the
records to another firm, which he de-
sires to protect.

O,Rriens Assailant In Prison.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Sept. 18.-Deputy
Sheriff Nick O'Brien has returned from
his trip to New Bethlehem, Pa, after
Riley, alias Tommy Clark, the member
of the Griswold bank robbers who did
the shooting which so nearly cost
O'Brien his life. To his great disap-
pointment O'Brien was compelled to re-
turn without his man once more, and
he and Sheriff Hazen have but the poor
consolation of knowing that the right
man is in custody and where he will be
safe for time to come. Riley was
wanted in Pennsylvania for a robbery,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
year and half in the penitentiary on
the same day that O'Brien arrived there
to bring him back. Riley evidently
took this course, preferring to remain
in the east even within penitentiary
walls rather than be brought here to
face the charges against him here.

STATE.
EDWARDS CANDIDACY

Under the above caption our helBll-
Dor addresses certain questions to Mir.
A. III. Edwards. republican candidate
for the legislature, relative to his
opinions and acts in case of his elec-
ton.
And the questions. They are on the
liquor issue. That is, as everybody
understands, to be the sole and only
issue of the coming campaign. Nc
holy wants to know anything about
MIR, Edwards, except his opinion of
the Martin law. Whether he is quail
lied or otherwise for the office he seeks
is of 10 moment. But his future acts
as to the liquor issue, that is what our
neighbor is DESTROYS Of kdowing.
1t is kind and thoughtful III our
neighbor to thus formulate platform
for Mr.. Edwards. What Mr. Edwards
should have done was to ask the Advo-
cate if he would be allowed to lie II
candidate for the legislature on the
republican ticket, Really, it is very
surprising that Mr.. Edwards did not
do so.
And when Mr.. Edwards answers, the
campaign can commence on the issues
at stake. So the campaign cannot go
oil i'll Audubon county until MIR Ed.
wards opinion ON the Martin law is
given out. Probably we will not have
an election day m these parts until
this yes or no" is elected.
The fact of the matter is that the
liquol: question is not bothering the
voter very much, and the strenuous
efforts of some Of the opposition man,
ayers to force that as an issue is meet
ing with scant success.
Would it not be as well for our
neighbour TO take care of their own
candidate. lie will Iced it. Mr.. Ed
wards can take care of himself.

Paine advanced the plea that a national

FAMOUS SINGLE PEARLS.
The Shah OF Persia Has One Delicate Gem
Worth Over Half q Million.

Worth Over Half q Million.
1t is not generally appreciated that
there are enormous fortunes in single
pearls, and that a few individuals and
great potentates have jewels of this sort
which are literally wort tn kings ran
som. In all the world there is no more
famous pearl than the Tavernier, now in
the possession Of the shah of Persia.
This remarkable gem came to this east
ern king by descent and is genuinely
remarkable curiosity. 1t derives its
name from having been sold by the tray
eler Tavernier 900 years ago to the then
ruler of Persia. The price then was
s500,000 1t is now worth more than
$3.50, 000
Another eastern king, the imam of
Muscat, has in his collection q pearl
worth $165, coo, weighing 1915 carats.
Through it the daylight can be seen.
Princess Youscupoff' S finest gem is Won
'derfully beautiful Valued at $50, 900,
it was first heard of in 1920, when Geor-
gibus of Calais sold it to Philip w of
Spain. Eighty thousand dollars is the
figure that it is Appropriated the popes
pearl would bring. One of Leo's prede-
cessors became possessed of it in man
ner which has not been told, and it has
descended in regular course to the pres
ent incumbent of st. Peters throne.

list of truly celebrated pearls. There
are many remarkable pearl necklaces

necklaces are made up gradually, pearl
after pearl being added to the set, and
leading jewellers are constantly on the
lookout to procure gems of like rarity
to extend the chain. On the whole, pink
pearls are not especially valuable, black
ones bringing far higher prices, and
pearls that are white being sought next
after them. Queen Victoria of England
has necklace of pin pearls that is
worth $4,000, and the dowager en-
press of Germany one made of 80 pearls
which would bring easily $125, 900.
The Rothschild women have, how
ever, gems of this sort that far exceed
In value those of royalty. Baroness Gus
tave de Rothschild possesses one made
up of five rows of pearls, the whole
chain being valued at 5000, 900. Bar
oness Adolphe de Rothschild owns q
circlet that in all probability would
fetch even at a forced sale $3.50, 900.
Even more brilliant, because it has
seven rows, is the necklace of the dow
ager empress of Russia. The gems,
however, are not quite as fine as those
in the Rothschild collection. The cas-
ket of this royal lady is the most IA
NOUS in the world from gem point of
view. Hardly second to it is that of
the empress of Austria, whose black
pearls are noted throughout Europe for
their extreme beauty and rarity.
What has become of the white pearls
of the Empress Eugene, sold at the
close of the Franco russian war, has
never been made known. The value of
these was some 500, 900, and they were
gathered together in very beautiful
necklace that frequently graced the
neck of that unfortunate queen. New
