CENTRAL STATION

CENTRAL STATION,
DEs MONIES, Iowa, July %, 1S96.)
The week ending Monday, the 9th,
was unusually cool from the 22d to
the Goth, and the amount of rainfall
probably exceeded the aggregate re-
ceived during any week of the
season. The special corn and wheat
stations report the following
amounts: Marshalltown. 5.O7 inches:
Hampton, 3.32; Clinton. All; Charles
City, 1.59; Fairfield, 2.53; Maquoketa,
3. SO: Iowa City, 800; Forest City, 1.4O;
Waterloo, 446; Ogden, 4.Os; Cedar
Rapids, $40; Osceola, AL; Center
vile, 365; Des Moines, 3.67. Numer-
Gus other stations give similar
reports.
This has made very unfavorable
conditions for harvesting and
threshing, and grain in shock has
suffered material injury. Oats
received the greater damage, re
ducing still lower the condition Of
this unfortunate crop. A short
period of dry weather is much to be
desired to give opportunity to save
the unstacked grain.
Corn is generally reported in goo6
condition, and there is an ample
storage of moisture in the soil to de
velope and ripen the early and late
plated fields. The weather has beer
very favorable for late potatoes ane
pasturage and all immature
vegetation.

E. E. Eddy sold five-year old colt
this week to Eric Anderson for foreign
shipment, which was the best horse
Anderson has shipped from here in
several years. Mr.. Eddy received
1925 for the colt, and, although the
price of horsehesh is slightly increas-
ing, the price is mostly due to his
knowledge as breeder and grower.
In all his horses sold, $11O was the
cheapest price paid and from that to
5000, and every one was work horse
The Valdez Business College and
Normal school is the largest unaided

seven years. Board, room, light and

College opened with five students.
This year the College and Normal en-.
rolls 500 students. 1t has won upon
its merits, and, today, it supports one
OF the strongest faculties in the West.
We, the undersigned, will, on the
first day of August, 1896, commence
doing a strictly cash business. We
will have to do business in competi-
tion with those who have adopted this
system, and the only way to meet that
competition successfully is to adopt
the same system ourselves. Thanking
you for past favors and hoping to be
favored with your patronage in the fu-
ture, we remain,
Yours truly,

Rev. G. A. Marshall of McGregor is
q minister known all over this district
for his uprightness and honesty of
purpose. He is in position to feel
the public pulse pretty thoroughly
and we are informed has expressed the
opinion that free silver candidate
can beat Updegraff for congress; that
the silver sentiment all over the
district is wonderful. Mr.. Marshall
is for free silver himself we under
stand, and why would he not make a
splendid ndidate?-Decorah Journal
