Mills County Heads the List of Pro-
duccrs. with pnce Sccnnd

With becoming Difference to pears,
plums and grapes the Davenport Democrat
feels obliged as a truthful paper, to call the
apple the king of fruit crop in this state
1t is much TO be regretted that this staple
fruit is not so abundant this year as could
be wished, or as it has been some former
years.
Secretary Wesley Green Of the Iowa Hor-
ticultural society knows more about the
condition Of the fruit crop than any other
man and he reluctantly says apples will be
apples. The entire crop of the state, includ-
ing good, bad and Indifferent fruit, Is
placed at 1,S5S,SSO bushels. This is less
than the crop of 1894 by 735 ,9O6 bushels. In
1884 Iowa had an enormous yield, much more
than twice the size of the present crop, or
4113591 bushels. That was something to
be proud of.
Apples are grown in every one of the
nlnety-nine counties in this state. The yield
this year in some Of the leading counties
is as follows:

DEATH RESULT OF ACCIDENT
Verdict Of the CorOner's Jury on the Killing
Of s. A, Goodell.
MOTOR COMPANY IS HELD BLAMElESS
Evidence shows that Crew in Charge
of the Car Did All In It's
Power to Prevent the
Accident.
MOTOR COMPANY is HELD BLAMElEs

The inquest held yesterday over S. A.
Goodel. the man killed Thursday by a
motor car on Avenue and Fifteenth
street, resulted in the jury bringing in a
verdict to the effect that the death was ac-
cidental and that no blame attached to the
motor company or the crew in charge of the
motor car. George S. Treynor, C. S. Hub
bard and Fred Peterson comprised the jury.
The witnesses examined were Asa D..
VanHorn and James Mcclure, conductor
and motorneer respectively Of the car which
ran down and killed Goodell; A. Watt II.
L. Macumber, G. S. McCague, J. W. Kirk,
passengers nthe car and II. D. Carbee and
Fred Stone, witnesses Of the accident.
Motorneer McClure's testimony was sub
stantially the same as his statement made
at the time OF the accident and his version
of the affair was corroborated by the other
witnesses.
H. ID. Carbee was standing at the corner
OF Sixteenth street waiting for westbound
motor at the time that Goodell on his
bicycle came south down Sixteenth street
and turned east on Avenue A. Carbee's
testimony showed that the motorneer
sounded his gong repeatedly and did all in
his power to warn Goodell Carbee gave it
, as his opinion that Goodell on noticing the
car so close to him jumped from his wheel
the bumper of the car. The testimony of
Fred Stone the colored man who was sit
ting on the porch OF his home at the corner
of Avenue and Fifteenth street at the
time of the accident, did not differ mater
tally from that Of Carbee.
Two brothers OF the victim OF the accident
| came from Florence yesterday and identi-
fed the remains. Their brother, they said,
was unmarried and lived with his sisters
and other relatives in Florence. He had,
they said, been in the habit of going away
on his wheel and would often be away over
night. He had talked somewhat Of renting
| a house in Council Bluffs and OF having his
| two sisters come to this city and live with
him. They supposed his mission in this city
| Thursday was for the purpose OF looking at
! a cottage.
| The brothers took the remains home with
them to Florence and the funeral will be
held from there.

FIRING UP FOR NEXT YEAR.

Having successfully buncoed the Mon
tana public last fall. the democracy is
preparing to resume its whoopety-whoop
system of campaigning next year. and
to that end is building fires under its
several and respective boil
ers. 1t is understood that Mr.. Bartine, the
Well known writer on bimetallism, has
located in Anaconda as an attache of the
Standard. While ostensibly the forth
coming editor of a mining department in
thai paper, he will undoubtedly write it's
free coinage editorials during the ma
tiOnal campaign of 1900.
Rurnor has it that DIR. Eggleston, who
edited the Helena Independent in the
campaign of 1896, will resume the edi-
torial chair or that paper within a short
time. He is well known as a vigorous
writer on the silver question.
While the Inter Mountain will not be
discourteous enough to refer to Mr.. Bar
tine II Mr.. Eggleston as straws, it must
be admitted that they show which way
the Wlnu Is blowing. II is the evident
purpose of the democratic party in Mon
tana to advocate free coinage with vigor
in the presidential campaign, not be-
cause that will be the paramount issue
of the national democracy, but in the
hope that the state offices can thereby
be retained by hat organization. If the
democracy Of this state makes a cam
paign against the trusts, in line with the
avowed policy of the national leaders, it
will go out of business and into the hands
Of a receiver in thirty days. The demo-
Gratis of Montana will not mind such a
