CROP BULLETIN.
First Weekly Review of the Season
Shows That Growing Grains
Are Doing Well.

The first weekly review of the condi-
ton of the Iowa crops has been issued
by the Iowa weather and crop service.
1t says:
The season opened early and has been
favorable for farming operations and seed
Ing, but cool. dry winds, with freezing
weather at night, have retarded the ger
mination Of seed and the growth Of vegeta-
lion.
A much larger area than usual has been
planted in spring wheat in the northern and
central districts, with the soil In fine con-
5ition. and 1t appears to be uninjured by
the low temperature. The seeding Of oats
and barley Is nearly completed, except in
the extreme north and in the eastern coun-
ties. where work has been delayed by ex-
cessive moisture. Reports from numerous
localities indicate that some fields of early
sewn oats have suffered damage by freez-
ing, and reseeding has been necessary. The
extent of damage. however, is not large.
More than the usual amount Of grass seed
Ing Is being done, especially in the central
and northern districts. More than usual
progress for the time of the year has been
made in blowing and fitting the ground
for planting corn. Warmer weather and
rains are now needed for the germination
of seed

Which is Civilized?

There has been an incident within
the past few months that demon-
strates very clearly where the most
humanity lies. It shows what part of
the country contains the larger num-
Der of generous people. In the call
for help for starving Cubans, 1t has
not been the east, with Its surplus
millions piled up in the vaults, that
has contributed the heaviest, but the
west, the "uncivilized west" as the
gold standard orators put it last fall,
the home of the Bryan anarchists. !"
And the most noteworthy fact is, that
the state of Nebraska has been the
most liberal in her contributions of
any of the western states, and that
the leading spirit in raising these
contributions is Bryan's old paper,
the World-H erald. This should be an
object lesson to the country that
would not soon be forgotten. The
man who will contribute literally
from his store, especially when that
store is as small as those of the ordin-
airy resident of the new state of Ne
braska, is not the kind who will make
anarchists. The philanthropist is
always a patriot.-Farmers Tribune.

MEMORIAL DAY.
An Order Issued by Department Cons
mnnder Evans for It's Proper
Observance.

Commander Evans, of the depart
ment of Iowa, Grand Army of the Re.
public, has issued the following order
from the headquarters in Des Moines
for the observance of Memorial day:
May 30. each year. brings to our minds
the sacred duty we owe to the memory Of
our comrades who have passed into the
eternal camping ground. It ia not alone a
duty, but privilege, and so long as we are
granted the opportunity we shall all prove
true to the trust. and pay this tribute Of
love to our fallen heroes. On this day let
every omrnde's grave be strewn with flow
ers and all honor to the silent dead.
In recent years, the children and youth
of the land have taken great interest in the
observance of the day. This should be en-
couraged everywhere, for nothing can moro
favorably impress upon the present gener-
alton the lesson of patriotism, than particle
patton with the veterans of 1876 in e1er-
cises appropriate for the day.
1t is recommended that all posts on the
Sabbath preceding Memorial day attend
as post organization religious service to
be held either in some church or their post
hall and that auxiliary organizations be
invited to join with them.
Memorial day, sacred to the memory of
our dead comrades, shall not be DETAINED
by games of sport and amusement and
posts will take timely action to discour-
age and as far as possible prevent such
dissertation of the day.

TO UNITE spoRTsMEN.
An Association Soon to BE Organized
That VIII Have Many Bene-
fetal Features.

The Iowa Field Trial association will
be organized when the Charley Budd
shoot is held in Des Moines the second
week in May. Leading sportsmen from
every section of the state have placed
their signatures to an agreement that
they will enter such an association at
that time.
The object of the association is to fos-
ter good fellowship among the sports
men of Iowa; to assist in the enforce
ment of the game laws; to improve the
breed and quality of shooting dogs; to
increase the interest in legitimate
sports with dog and gun, and to hold
field trials in the state on chickens or
quail, or both, at such times and places
as the members may determine. The
trials are to consist of derby and all
age stake; the entry fee for members
to be $3.50 and the starting fee the
same; for nonmembers, five and ten
dollars. The signers have also pledged
themselves to pay before June l mem
bership fee of five dollars.
The first trial of the association,
which promises to be the leading per-
manent organization of sporting men
in Iowa, will be held the last week
in August in the northern part of the

LAND CASE ENDED.
Calhoun County Settled by
the Supreme Court.

The supreme court closed its recess
sitting by handing down 80 decisions,
one of the most important being that
of the American Emigrant company VS..
Isabella NJ. Long, appellant, from Cal
houn county. The case grew out of the
title to certain lands in that county
which the American Emigrant company
claimed under the swamp act.
In reversing the decision Of the lower
court, the supreme court says the case
Is similar to the one already taken to
the supreme court of the United States,
In which it was decided that the Rogers
Locomotive company held title to these
lands, which took priority to the title
held by the American Emigrant COM
pany, for the reason that the same had
been decided to it by the secretary Of
the interior. The supreme court Of
Iowa must, therefore, make its deci-
sion conform to the one rendered by
the higher court.

CHARGED WITH FRAUD.
A Case of Alleged Tax Dodstns un-
earthed in the Settling of the
Estate of Rich Iowan.

A case in which one of the most gil
ganiic frauds ever charged in Iowa as
the basis for action was filed in the
federal court in Des Moines. 1T is con-
test between two sisters over the set
Element of the estate of their father,
William j. Smith, who died intestate,
at State Center, November Is, 1897.
The case is entitled Minnie L. Moore
and George e. Moore VS.. Landen B.
Goodrich and Laura A. Goodrich" the
men being brothers-in-law. Mr.. and
Mrs. Moore resided in New York city.
while it was with Mr. and Mrs. Goodrich
that Mr.. Smith made his home before
he died. After his death his estate was
divided between the two sisters, his
sole heirs, Mrs. Moore getting half of
$27,5OO.
Since then Mr.. and Mrs. Moore, it is
alleged, have secured evidence leading
them to believe that they have been
defrauded, and that the total value of
the estate was nearly 100000. Smith
was known to be immensely wealthy,
but his exact fortune was not known.
His daughter now claims that he de-
frauded the tax collectors.

The right of an officer to take and re-

The right OF an officer to take and re-
tain money found upon prisoner,
where it would not constitute evidence
against him in his trial for the offanse
for which he was arrested, is denied in
Hubbard versus Gamer, a late Michigan
decision. Mr.. Justice Montgomery in
discussing this question says: "While
the officer had the right to search the
prisoner to see that he had upon his
person no instruments which might aid
to effect his escape, aud also to retain
in his custody any evidence which
might be used on his trial, the right of
seizure does not extend beyond this"
In this case it was sought to reach by
writ of garnishment certain moneys
which Defendant Garner had taken
from prisoner. A Judgment secured
In the circnit court was reversed by tho
supreme court. the opinion holding that
money unlawfully taken from pris-
oner and held by an officer cannot be
reached by creditors of the prisoner by
punishment.

A NOVEL ATTEMPT.
Money Chemically Identified In Order
to Connect n Man with n
BANK Robbery.

Prof. Floyd Davis, a Des Moines chem
list, has returned from Missouri, where
he has been making an examination Of
money found on the person of Charles
Martin, accused Of blowing open the
safe of the Farmers bank at Sheridan.
The investigation is for the local Bank
ers' Casualty company. 1t was wished
to ascertain whether the money came
from the safe, which was blown open by
nitroglycerin. Prof. Davis says the
money bears every evidence of having
come in contact with gases liberated
by explosive. No marks are visible to
the naked eye. The alleged robbers
clothing will be subjected to the same
test.
The examination has never been tried
before, but is being made with a view
to prosecuting all future cases of a
similar nature by the expert testimony
Of chemists. After the announcement
of the result of the investigation Mar
tin offered to enter a plea of guilty,
provided the prosecution would agree
to ask that only the minimum penalty,
two years Imprisonment, be imposed.

At the l55th anniversary of the
birthday of Thomas Jefferson held in
Washington city, VIM. j. Bryan was
one of the speakers responding to the
toast, "Thomas Jefferson" In the
course of his speech he alluded to the
stand taken by the democratic party
in favor of an income tax, which he
said was being INDICATED with each
succeeding day. Events, he said are
daily developing to show the truth of
what Justice Brown said,-that the
decision of the supreme court against
the tax would rise up some day to
paralyze the government. "We have
now reached time of peril'' Mr..
Bryan said "when we can consider
this decision and understand fully
what it means. When the govern
ment is in need of ready funds it cam
not draft the wealth of the rich, who
are more amply protected by it than
the poor people who have no proper
ty whatever. The government may
go to-day to the mother and take
from her her only son, and it may go
to the wife and take her beloved hus-
band, and send them to war, but the
government cannot touch the for
tunes of the rich. In the name of
Thomas Jefferson, l tonight de-
nounce the policy that places the
miser's dollar above the mothers son,
or the wife's husband"

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Is it Financial Folly, or Crime?

Dispatches from Washington in the
daily papers say the Treasury depart
ment is preparing for the issue Of
800, 900, 600 three per cent. certificates
to be disposed of through the post
offices, and of $5OO,0OO,0OO three per
cent bonds, payable In coin, redeema-
BILE at the option OF the government,
in from 10 TOGO years.
The purpose to- do this is little less
than crime against the people of
ment will be crime without parallel.
5000, 0G0, 900 of full legal tender treas.
ury notes, redeemable in taxes, need
ed for the support of the government,
would be a positive blessing to the
American people, and would subserve
every emergency and need of the
government, in war or peace. The
full legal tender treasury note would
be accepted by the soldier for servi-
ces, at par, and by all classes of peo-
pie in supplying the commissary de-
partment of the army, and for all the
munitions of war. They would circu-
late freely among the people of all
classes, would be Immediately availa-
BILE, and would not burden the people
with an interest bearing debt. Ac-
cording to labor commissioner, Car
roll D. Wright, the real estate mort
cages in the United States amount to
$4,000, O00, 900 with an annual inter
est charge of 100000. To this in
terest Indebtedness the treasury de-
partment purposes to add annually
sis, 0O0, 900 more, and if the debt shall
RIM twenty years, $500, 100000, all of
which must come from the productive
industries.
The Treasury report issued the first
of the present month gives the money
in the United States as 81, 756, 05S, 645,
barely enough to pay two years of
the interest that accrues on the mort
gage indebtedness of the country.
And of the amount of money report
ed as in the country, more than one
half is in the Quilted States treasury,
or held as bank reserves as required
by law. Other debts not secured by
mortgages doubtless amount to as
much as the mortgage Indebtedness,
but leaving that out, will secretary
Gage or any friend of a bond interest
bearing Indebtedness figure out how
the present mortgage indebtedness is
to be paid?
