seven MilI,on Bushels.

Des Moihes, Sept. s,-rhe Rock ISL
and has been cooperating with other
lines of road in Iowa to ascertain the
number of bushels of last years corn
crop now in crib in the state, and has
announced that there is fully 100000
bushels of the old crop that has not
been sent to the market yet, and that
is in the hands of SPECTATORS. 1t is be-
lieyed that because of the near APP
proach of the time for marketing the
new crop. that this corn will commence
to move in u few days, and thar most
OF the cribs will be cleared at present
prices very shortly. to make way for
the new crop. Reports are to the eff
feet that much of the new crop is
ready to cut and shock, and that Il
great deal of the early planted corn
is out of the way Of frosts, while near-
ly all Of il will be out of the way by
Sept. 5. The same estimates place the
number of bushels held in Kansas at
100000 bushels. While scarcely any
corn is held in Nebraska BY speeula-
TORS.
Local grain men who have been max
ing inquiries along the same lines are
disposed to think there is about the
amount OF corn in cribs estimated by
the Rock Island. but do not think that
it win all move in the next few weeks.
They are of the opinion that the prices
will rule as high later in the season,
as now because OF the smaller acreage
of corn in the state caused BY the wet
spring months, and the comparatively
small amount OF corn on hand in other
states.

Judge Hall Trying Brown and Pet

MANY WITNESSES IN THE CASE.
Trouble to Identity the Alleged stolen
Property Judge Sloan Convened
Third Week of District Court
Police Court News.
From Mondays Daily.

Eugene Brown and j. G.. Smith, the
alleged chicken thieves who were ar
rested in this city last Friday morn
ing, are being tried before Judge Hall
III police court this afternoon. There
are two dozen or more witnesses in
court from the district north of town,
where extensive depredations have re-
duced the inhabitants of more than
one chicken house TO minimum aud
aroused the wrath of the farmers who
have been thus robbed. The defend
ants in the above case had in their pos
session, when arrested, about five doz-
'en chickens, old and young, and the
fact that one of the men made such
desperate effort to escape the officers
who went to arrest him, indicates that
there might have been something
wrong. Notwithstanding this fact,
none OF the witnesses who had been ex-
amined at the time OF going To press
had been able to positively identity
any OF the chickens, which they had
previously examined. One thing is GER
tain. however. the farmers in that vi
entity have put up with about all the
chicken stealing that they are going
to, and While the men who are ON trial
X
ty of the crime with which they are
charged, judging from the attitude Of
the witnesses, the guilty party who
has been visiting that neighborhood
had better stay away from there for
while. Eugene Brown, when ararested,
gave his name as Ed. Smith. Heis be-
ing defended by Attorney G. c. Orvis,
of Oskaloosa, who is authority for the
statement that the defendants name
is Brown, and that his parents reside
at Oskaloosa. Cass Hendershott is the
attorney for Peters. The prosecution
is being conducted by Attorney A. G.
ESteek.
Smith and Phillips are the men who
assaulted Michael Riley, farmer who
lives about six miles northwest of the
city, on last Saturday afternoon. Ii
appears that Smith and Phillips elaine
ed that Riley had torn the canvass ON
the top of their wagon, and they want
ed him to pay for it. Riley told the
men that he did not tear it, and that
he would not pay for it. This CONVEX
sation occurred on Main street, near
Mclean street. When Riley was going
home little later in the afternoon he
was again accosted by Smith and Phil
lips, and it is said one of the men
struck him IA blow in the mouth. Ri
Hey returned to the city and swora ont
information against them, causing

INSPECTING THE SERVICE.
w. r. Conger Looking over Rural Pos

Morning Sun, Sept. Nv. T. Conger,

that the routes here are shorter than

sions of three miles on route No. /,
four miles'on route No. 2, and four and

establishment of from two to four coll

mail to sixty or eighty families. No
routes are now being established where
less than 100 families per carrier can
be served. and one carrier on Mt!
Pleasant route serves 1872 families, and
another few more.
The farmers generals. take consid-
erable interest in the service, and affirm
their willingness to erect good and suit
able boxes if they are assured of the
permanence of the system. When it
was established it was merely an e,S-
reriment, and any kind of a box was
made to serve by most of the people,

until metal boxes are in use exclusive
