righted, 1898, by the Associated Press)
The arrival of the gunboat Hawk
n converted yacht, put the flying
squadron this morning into state of
foment and anticipation. She brought
news that the Spanish squadron under
Admiral Cervera. for which Commodore
Schley Is looking. was at Santiago de
Cuba. Commodore Schley made imme-
date preparations to go in pursuit Of
the enemy, but as the ships We're
somewhat short of COAL he had to wait
in state of great impatience while
the battleship Iowa took on 500 tons
and the other ships $50 each.
This coaling was conducted with the
aid of the collier Merrimac, which
arrived at o'clock this morning In
company with the gunboat Castine.
The squadron is to leave this afternoon
In a chase after the Spaniards and 1t
is hoped that Comomdore Schley will
find them bottled up in the harbor of
Santiago.
The flying squadron Is now one of the
strongest aggregation OF fighting ships
ever gathered together. 1t consists of
the Brooklyn, flagship; the battle
ships Massachusetts, Iowa and
Texas. the cruiser Marblehead, the
gunboat Castlne and the torpedo boat
Dupont. II has plentiful supply
of coal and can stay for long time
at sea. The men are not only anxious
but eager to fight; and they expressed
great satisfaction at learning the
whereabouts of the enemy
A close examination was made of the
harbor of Cienfuegos last night. but
nothing was seen which, In Commodore
Schley's opinion, would warrant an at
tack. Some concern Is felt for the
Scorpion. which left here to take dis
patches To Sampson. The dispatches
of Commodore Schley are in cipher and
cannot he read If captured.

A BIG FARMER.
Interesting Facts Concerning the
Great Farms of Judge Tubbs
in Mills County.

Judge Tubbs recently told some in
teresting facts about his great farms
about Emerson, in Mills county, where
he has $500 acres, and they are di-
vided into II complete farms. Each
place has a good house, supply of
barns and lots and offers the tenant a
comfortable home. The judge never
rents for cash, but always for grain,
and so shares with his tenants the ups
and downs of the market and the sue
cess of the crops. He never makes a
contract with a tenant for more than
a year, and generally directs what the
acreage of each place shall be on his
places. He keeps his fences in perfect
condition, and has the weeds cut out
of the highways and blue grass put
down, and this is cut regularly. TWEEN
ty-two miles of public highway bor-
der on his land. Judge Tubs tenants
never have trouble with him and are
his best friends. When man gets on
his place he generally stays there and
grows rich. One tenant has over So
900 out at interest and has been on the
place 10 years. The judge feeds all his
grain and so grows little richer each
year. He has two cribs on one of his
farms IL feet high, ten feet deep and IS
rods long. There is always a supply OF
grain on hand. His taxes average
about $1,000 year.

IOWA STATE NEWS.
RED CROSS SOCIETY.
Prominent Women In Des Moines Are
Planning for Permanent
Organization.

An Iowa Red Cross society, to be a
permanent organization, auxiliary to
the National Red Cross society, is be-
ing planned by prominent Des Moines
women. They say that state society
will be the outgrowth of the Des
Moines Red Cross society, organized
when the Iowa volunteers were at
Camp Mckinley. The Des Moines So
ciety is auxiliary to the national or
ganizat;on, and although it was or
ganized because OF the needs of Iowa
volunteers, it's work will not end when
they return to Iowa.
The Des Moines Red Cross society
was organized by 80 women. Mrs. E. B.
Whitcomb was the one who led in the
organization and became president Of
the society. Mrs. Whitcomb has done
much philanthropic work in Des
Moines. For four years she was presi-
dent of the Cottage hospital board, and
now she is secretary of the children's
home. 1t was her work that gave Des
Moines city ambulance.
Mrs. L. M. Shaw, the wife Of Gov.
Shaw, is the chairman of the emer.
gency committee. In the continued
work of the permanent organization
this committee will be the most i'm
portant. When there is cyclone,
food, or any disaster in the state, the
committee will Immediately find out
the extent of the suffering and the
needs for relief work.
This feature of the work will be
greatly facilitated by state organ
ization. Already prominent women in
many of the important towns in the
state have written in regard to crgan-
ling local Red Cross societies. Soon
several will be organized and the state
society will be formed.

OF IMMENSE VALUE.
The so-CaIled By-Products of Iowa
Farms Are Worth Millions
of Money

Crop Manager j. R. Sage said in an
interview recently:
ut is remarkable how much some of the
so-called by-crops of Iowa farms amount
to. Corn fodder and straw are considered
as two by-products. yet the corn fodder
that remains unwet in the field and is used
for pasturage amounts to one dollar an
acre. or 100000 annually. Again, the same
is true of straw. There is about $500, OCO
tons of straw raised in Iowa every year.
This straw left over from the grain is gem
orally considered as unimportant, yet it
amounts to 100000 or $S.000,000 every
year.
Just these two items of Iowa farm
ing that seem SO minor when com
pared with the first product OF agri-
culture amount to more in actual gold
than all the gold that will be taken out
of the Klondike this year, the output OF
the Klondike being estimated at 1$15,-

RICHES FOR IowANs.
Robert Morris, Who Died in Debtors
Prison, Leaves Large Sum to
Many Descendants.

During revolutionary days Robert
Morris was the richest man in this
country. Real estate speculations
ruined him and he died in debtors
prison.
AT that time he owned immense
tracts Of land which his creditors left
in his possession because they consid-
cred them worthless. They We're mis-
taken. This land is now worth $780,
100000 and a division is soon to be
made among Morris so descendants.
Letters to friends of +. NJ. Morris and
Mrs. I. C. Beard, of Colorado Springs,
COL, say they are among the number.
Both are residents of Sioux City and
are at the Springs for their health.

fact thatEdgar Winkel was the first

first Kossuth county man to die in the
war of the rebellion. The latter died
