A good rain fell, breaking the drouth
in this country. Indications are for
plenty more.
Mr.. ID. Calm, a merchant of Beeville,
who drove up here just ahead of the
rain, OH his return home found the
creek between here and Beeville so
high he would not cross, SO he was
compelled to return and seek shelter
in Skidmore this morning.
The rain will help cotton some, al
though it is most too late to be of
much benefit to that staple, but it will
prove a great benefit to grass for the
winter pasturage.
Cotton in this section of the country
is very scarce and therefore coming
in slow, but what there is of it is of
the finest and whitest lint which can
not be beat anywhere.
Mr.. John z. Campbell, Bexar coun-
tvs popular sheriff, passed through

CENTRAL STATION,


Dies MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 3, 1897.
The week was unseasonably warm
with much less than normal rainfall, ex-
cept in a few favored localities. The
greatest excess of temperature was reg
istered on the last two days Of the week,
causing some apprehension Of danger
to crops by hot winds; but change of
wind direction and lower temperature on
the night of August LIST relived anxiety
on that score,
The week was favorable for work in
the harvest field end satisfactory pro-
gress was made. The harvest of oats
and spring wheat is completed. except
late seeded fields in the northern dis
tricts. A good deal of.stacking has been
done, and threshers are at work in all
sections, with varying results as to yield.
The harvest season as whole has
been much more favorable than last
year, and the bulk of hay and grain has
been secured in excellent condition.
Corn has made fairly good progress
during the week and substantial gains
during July. Reports received from the
larger number of crop correspondents of
this bureau show the average condition
of corn on August LIST to be 80.5 per
cent as against 76 per cent July LIST,

Dies MONIES, Aug. 3.-Captain J. A.
T. Hull late last night gave ont final
statement with reference to his candi-
dacy for governor, for which there have
been many rrmors in the last few days.
He came home from Washington few
days ago and declined to Immediately

didate. He said he had assurances of
support from all quarters Of the state
and believed he could be nominated il
he should enter the race.
II have conferred with q number of
my friends" he said, "and It was sim
ply question of whether I wanted TO
give up place in congress at the open.
ing of new term. have friends who
have worked hard and carried me
through fight for the congressional
nomination aud the question was
whether it would be fair to withdraw
from the position in view of my obligs-
ton to them. decided not to do SO.
Some newspapers have printed a story
that was being forced out of the con.
test by Mr. Cummins on account of his
senatorial aspirations. This is not trus.
He assured me that he would support
me if l should be a candidate and we
have had perfect understanding, and
our relations have been nothing but the
most pleasant"

IOWA POLITICS.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: 1t appears
that every county is entitled to so many
delegates to the republican state conven-
ton, and also four candidates at large.
Des Moines Leader: George Van
Houten's is the latest boom. Mr.. Van
Houten goes on the theory that as long
booms cost nothing he might as we'll
have one as anyone else
Des MONIES Register: This is the
time when everybody seems to be at sea
on the governorship. No one knows
what to do. But the situation will re-
solve itself. Just have patience.
Keokuk Gate City: Thus far thirty
five gentlemen have been mentioned in
connection with the republican nomi
nation for governor. Iowa republican
ism is rich in good material and there
will be no difficulty in selecting worthy
successor of Gov, Drake.
Des Moines Leader: A few weeks ago
"Gib" Pray would doubtless have shifted
disdainfully at the surveyor generalship
of Alaska, but things have changed
again. Iowa Klondikers will insist up
on having their claims expedited and
upon being on the ground floor if any
tips are handed out.
Davenport Democrat: Two years ago
exhibited States Senator James Harlan
was the most prominent candidate for
the nomination captured by Governor
Drake IN the republican state conven-
ton. Had the veteran Harlan been
elected he would not have been a one
term governor; and some other disagree
able things for the republican party
would not have happened.
Cedar Rapids Republican: 1t has now
been brought to public notice that A. B.
Piummer, triple Alliance candidate for
lieutenant governor, as late as last sum-
mer issued call for a mass prohibition
convention. This will serve to increase
Piummer's vote in Scott county, and to
make him more popular in the state OF
Dubuque. He is liable to get all the
third party men in these two counties.
We tremble at the prospect.
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: Now that
Gov. Drake has declined on account Of
poor health, to accept a denomination
as republican candidate for governor,
prominent citizens are boiling up serene
ly from every part of the state. The
latest candidate is Judge Rothrock, Of
Cedar Rapids, former judge of the su.
preme conrt, and well known in Sioux
Falls. The judge is the republican Hor-
ace Boies Of Iowa, and Il minated
would make an ideal candidate. Unlike
Dom Horace, howeYc. The Judge knows
what he thinks on the money question.
Des Moines Capital: Col. Let's, of
Marshalltown, says he is not a candi.
date.
Marshalltown Times Republican,: It's
a mighty poor section OF the state that
cannot furnish a good candidate for
governor.
Des Moines Capital: Some papers
are gossiping about the opposition to
Senator Funk at his own home. We
venture the asartion that the senator
will appear a. Cedar Rapids with solid
delegation from Dickinson county.
