Final Bulletin 1Or the Season Issued
Corn Crop Assured.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 19.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin, the
last Of the season, was issued today as
follows:
The average temperature of the past
week was above normal. Light frosts
were observed in numerous exposed To-
calities on two or three mornings, but
no damage to crops has been reported
The amount of rainfall was light and
unequally distributed.
The weather conditions have been
favorable for cutting corn and more
than the usual amount of fodder is be-
ing saved by that method in sections
where the hay crop was light The corn
crop is now practically assured in all
parts of the state, though in some sec
tions portion CT the late planting
would be materially helped by week
or two of good ripening weather. AS a
whole the crop is satisfactory, and
more likely to exceed than to fall short
of a normal yield.
The dry weather that has hurried the
corn crop beyond danger has been se-
we're upon pasturage, necessitating
feeding stock in some sections and les
sening the supply of milk. 1t has also
hindered fall plowing and seeding
Farmers are generally we'll advanced
with their work except plowing, and for
that general and copious rains are
needed
The winter apple crop is now we'll
matured. though very light.
The flax crop is good in yield. though
small in area.
This will close the series of weekly
bulletins for the season of 1899. The
final report on yield, prices, etc, will
be issued about Defender /.

London, Sept. 19-There is an unveri-
fled rumor from Capetown today that
the Beers have delivered another mes
sage to the British high commissioner
more conciliatory than yesterdays re-
ply. The rumor, however, fails to OBJ
tain much credence and is not taken
as in any way mitigating the serious
ness of the crisis. The outlander press
sees nothing but war ahead and urges
outlanders to leave Immediately.
The London press is now inclined to
take the view that the recent action on
the part of the Beers doesn't make war
a certainty, though it places the British
cabinet in a position where it must
take steps so aggressive that war or
utter and ignominious submission will
be the only alternatives remaining to
the Transvaal. The troops continue to
leave Capetown for Kimberly and the
north. Nothing is known yet regard
ing the date of the expected cabinet
meeting.

LIBERTY FOR DR[YFUS
Council Of Ministers at Paris Today
Decide to Pardon the Noted
Military Prisoner.
Announcement Of the Decision
Causes Little Excitement on
Streets of Paris.
But is Received With Great Interest
at Rennes...May Be Sent
Abroad.

Paris, Sept. 19.-Bulletin: The coun-
Gil of ministers decided today to pardon
Dreyfus in principle. The pardon will
take effect in few days. Dreyfus has
relinquished his appeal for reversal
of the judgment of the court martial.
The announcement that Dreyfus
would be pardoned was already dis
counted and there was absolutely NO
excitement displayed along the boule-
wards when the newspapers came out
this morning with the announcement.
In principle" is an idiom sometimes
used in semi official announcements of
Forthcoming actions. 1t seems it has
slight bearing on the matter, except
perhaps that it implies fulfilment of
various formalities before pardon.
1t is said Dreyfus will be sent abroad
before the PRONUNCIATION of his pardon,
in order to avoid demonstrations.
Up to o'clock this evening the ut
most calm has prevailed throughout
Paris. The official announcement is
made in the form cabled the Associated
Press to avoid demonstrations at Rem
mes and Paris. But the pardon of Drey-
fus is not merely imminent, but was
actually signed this morning. Many
believe that Dreyfus will go to England
on his release, which may take place
tonight. He is still in prison this after
noon.
1t Is not yet known whether the par
don includes amnesty.
A semi official note published yester-
day said:
The government had determined to
pardon Dreyfus only after the military
court of revision had issued it's decree,
but in consideration Of the state of
Dreyfus' health, which is daily weak
ening, Premier Waldeck-Rousseau has
invited the prisoners family to with
draw the appeal. This will facilitate
the granting of a pardon. which under
the conditions and solely because an
other months confinement in cell will
entail the prisoners death, will be
signed on next Tuesday 1t appears
now that Dreyfus' health has deter
iorated in an alarming manner since
the verdict of the court martial was
rendered. Three wooden waistcoats were
not sufficient to keep his wasted body
warm Sunday and his guardians were
compelled to wrap him up in blankets
to stop his fits of shivering. The gov
ernment, fearing the disgrace which
Dreyfus' death would entail. took steps
to get his family to induce the prisoner
to withdraw his appeal for revision
of the work of the court martial by the
military council, which is capable of
purposely prolonging proceedings.
Dreyfus, in spite of physical weak
ness. apparently maintains his mental
serenity, and displays astounding cour-
age and calmness in his wifes presence,
evidently for the purpose of cheering
her up, though really himself enduring
agony over the knowledge that his
hopes for the restoration of his good
name and fair fame has been shattered.
The Figaro says that certain military
clubs and many officials make no secret
of their desire to see Dreyfus .pardoned.
