Special to Times Republican
Des Moines. Aug. 29.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued today as follows:
The past week was warmer than
usual. the excess of temperature at the
central station averaging degrees
daily. The rainfall was variable but
sufficient in the larger part of the state
for the needs of the unripened crops and
to facilitate fall blowing.
The conditions We're very favorable
for closing up work in the harvest
fields and threshing from the shocks
Reports of yield of wheat oats and
barley are variable. but with the ex-
ception Of wheat the returns indicate
quite satisfactory results. In nuner-
GUS localities the yield of oats is unusu-
ally heavy.
Corn is making notable progress
towards maturity and considerable
portion OF early planted corn is sufti-
GENTLY ripened to be cut and shocked
Late copn is doing remarkably we'll, ex-
cept in sections where the rainfall has
been insufficient. The high temperature
has fred the blades to some extent in
dry and sandy lands. On the whole
corn bids fair to make a full average
crop.
Pastures are very good for August.
The apple crop will be much below the
average. Reports from special observ-
ers to the State horticultural Society
indicate but little more than half a
crop of this staple fruit"

Toledo. Aug. 29.-Last evening at 1880
a serious accident occurred on the
street car line near the power house.
The management OF the railway had or
dered a summer or open car for service
which should have been here sixty days
ago. but arrived yesterday. The motor
men had orders to put it in the barn on
arrival. but they planned surprise for
President w. C. Walters and brought 1T
through to Toledo. Mr.. Walters, on it's
arrival, rendered the boys free ride on
the new car. forty-two of them of all
ages promptly accepting and boarded
the car. All went merrily until descend
ing the last grade before reaching the
power house, over mile from the place
of starting. A car was discovered
switching car of coal into the house.
The motormen promptly cut off the
current and applied the brakes, but the
car only went the faster. When it be-
came apparent that the car was going
right through to --, President Walters
gave the order to jump and forty of
them jumped. When the collision came
but two were on board. The car was
badly damaged, estimated at 5000. Quite
a number were badly bruised. Earl
johnson was picked up unconscious, but
soon rallied. There We're some narrow
escapes, but fortunately no bones were
broken. 1t is now thought that the
chains holding the brake bars were too
long, preventing the proper grip. Be-
sides the loss to the company it is a
general disappointment, as the car was
to give its first service tomorrow, old
