Iowa Crop Conditions.

DIES MONIES, July 10. The Iowa
weekly weather crop bulletin says: All
reports show extensive damage to oats
by rust and lodging, and in the south
ern and central districts the prospective
yield will scarcely repay the harvesting
of large percentage of the area planted.
Spring wheat has been materially in
jured by rust, but the condition of that
crop is much better than that of oats
Corn has made steady advancement in
all districts and its condition is now
well up to the normal, No material
damage has yet resulted from the dry
weather of the past 10 days.

The Maryville Daily Review of

which explains itself:

years old and have a wife and two
children with whom now live on

years of 1872 and 1873 1t was re-
ported that Ernest Seyd had sue

dropped from the coinage Of the
United States and he made public
speeches, and ratification meetings
were held, and all the big men of
the English people turned out, and
bonfres were lighted and torches
were carried and all the people of
England celebrated the event as of
very great Importance and spoke in
highest terms of praise Of Roths-
child and the able manner in which
Ernest Seyd had performed his mis-
sion TO the United States.
II heard Ernest Seyd speak at
the city of Norwich, England, af-
ter he had returned from the Unit

that they rejoiced that the silver

OF course the campaign Is oyer,

In 1892 the democrats promised

The fact that constitutional Drohl-
bition was probably repealed at the
recent election has created some dis
cussion as to the question OF selling
LIQUORS. The Volga Tribune discloses
the fact that aside from the con-
stitutional provision, there is a stat
ute law against selling liquor, name
ly, chapter 1O1 Session laws OF $780,
which deems such an offense a misde-
meanor, subject to fine and impris-
onment. The liquor question prom
ises to be one of the important con-
sideraiions of the coming legisla-
turc.

The Press has heretofore called
attention to little paper published
at Sioux Falls, called the Childrens
Friend. 1t is issued monthly in the
interest OF the Chidren's Home So
ciety, whose grand mission is to find
homes for homeless children. The
price of the paper is 20 cents a year,
and it's humane work should be en-
couraged. This little messenger OF
human kind should be in every home
in this state, and the PRESS hopes
those OF its readers who can afford it
will send % cents to the Superintend-
ent Children's Home, Sioux Falls, ;.

Among the numerous candidates
mentioned for the populist nomina-

Man, having ssrvcd tmo peTu,s sn tiyf
state senate. He was elected from
this county in 1890, reelected in
1892, declined a nominationin 1894,
and is again elected in 1896. He is
one of the Oldest and most active
populist in the state, and as we can
not have a republican, the PRESS
would like to see Hand county's old

Very peculiar and erroneous con
clusions are drawn by some persons
upon the result of certain things,
simply by reason OF II hasty, surface
view thereof. This is noticeable in
connection with the recent election.
Many persons are heard to say that
Mr.. Bryan made a great campaign
and that he will be the democratic
nominee in 1900. There is little t.
base such Il conclusion upon. Mr.
Bayan was the worst defeated man
of this generation. During his cam.
paign he made speeches in ninety
two cities. \ comparison show
that in 1892 President Cleveland car
riad these same cities by 155, ,765
plurality. On Nov. 3, 1896, Mr.
Mckinley carried these cities by 45O,
052-a republican gain OF over 900,
900. Such evidence would indicate
very little hope for Mr.. Bryal or
his cause in the future.
