Jail. The amount O'Leary secured from
Howard was $3.50.
The case OF Edward Lincoln, the negro
charged with robbing George Templar, a
white man, was up before Justice Wien yes
terday. Lincoln set up the defense that he
did not steal the money from Templar, but
won 1t from him in a game of poker. This
Templar denied and he swore that he did
not play any game in Lincoln's place. Fur
Their, he testified that he had never played
a game Of cards in his life and did not
know one card from another. Justice Wien
decided that there was not sufficient evil
dence to hold Lincoln on the charge Of lar
ceny from the person, but held him to the
grand Jury in the sum Of 5000 on the charge
of gambling. He also held Templar in the
same amount as a witness. Neither of the
men was able to furnish bail and were
committed to the county jail. The result
Of the case was a sore disappointment to
Templar, who had stayed in the city for
several days for the purpose Of prosecuting
the man who robbed him and now he will
have to stay in jail until the grand jury
meets next January.

out from Des Moines, in which the president
stated he would resign II Prof. Heron was
forced out. There has been some talk that
the trustees were dissatisfied with the rad

Influence was hurting the school. AS here
tofore explained the endowment Of s35. 900,
given by Mrs. Rand of Burlington, has been

1t has now been arranged by the trustees
with Mrs. Rand that II Prof. Heron leaves

OF the faculty, Prof. Heron is to receive
the income from the s35, 900 given by Mrs.
Rand. The interview Is generally regarded
here as indicating that President Gates is
In thorough accord with DR.. Herron's views,
but there are some who think that Gates Is
fully capable OF doing his own thinking and
his position on social matters should be re-
garded from his own public utterances. The
question, however, as to whether DR.. Her

whether they are proper doctrines to be

gives his approval of the professors teach

only the most radical Of Herron's utterances.
His lectures in Chicago recently In which
he advocated a general upheaval of existing

Inability to Utilize Stalk Fields Pro-
ducinx Scarcity of Hay.

FORT DODGE, Ia, Dec. 20.-(Special.)-
Harvesting corn in this county has been
under rather severe conditions this year.
The crop raised in this section of the state
was a good one. but not over half Of 1t has
been gathered. This time last year there
was in the neighborhood Of 500. 900 bushels
OF corn In this county in cribs at the differ
ent small stations. Most of 1t was the prop
erty Of spectators. This year there are but
a few thousand bushels in the cribs and the
largest amount in any one town Is at Glare,
a small 10Y on the Rock Island eighteen
miles north of this city. and consists Of
about 5000 bushels of 80 and '97 corn, all
the property Of a firm In Davenport which is
holding it for better prices. The crop ripened
earlier this year than in previous seasons.
but most of the farmers put off harvesting
until the recent heavy fall OF snow made 1t
practically out of the question. Some of the
farmers have fields where the snow is not
very deep, and in these cases the corn has
been gathered without very much being left
In the fields. Some Of those whose fields
were large and the continued cold weather
has discouraged their hopes Of experiencing
a better or more comfortable opportunity for
gathering, have gone ahead with the work.
The results from this kind Of work have not
been satisfactory. One large farmer who
finished harvesting $500 bushels Of corn
Saturday stated that he was positive that
there were 200 bushels on the ground under
the snow. Probably the most serious phase
Of the question is found in the rapidly dis
appearing hay stacks throughout the coun-
try. The fields being unharvested the large
herds of stock which are usually turned
into the stalks at this season Of the year are
being fed the hay that was put up to be fed
in the latter part OF the winter after the
stalks had been exhausted. Another draw
back has been the lack of help in the coun-
try this fall. Usually there has been no diff
ficulty in securing plenty of help. but this
year farmers have had to pay 8 and 4 cents
per bushsl for husking, including board.
