Jefferies went down he had been pulled
under by the swift current and was
soon beyond aid. A search was at once
instituted and about an hour later the
body was recovered. The remains were
taken to the morgue and an inquest was

versation that ensued 1t was disclosed
that Winslow had received an offer of
$50 by the superintendent for the mule.
Mr.. Tilton was so surprised that he ex-
claimed: Why. all asked for the
mule was $780, At that the superintend-
ent handed him $50 and was given the
animal. The incident greatly enraged
Winslow, who went away declaring he
would get even. Then followed series
of petty annoyances obviously for the
purpose of provoking retaliation, But
Mr.. Tilton gave no heed to them. and
declined to have anything to say to
Winslow until he pastured his horse

way to town, assailed our two little
daughters, who were playing in the

Damage by Drouth.

Shenandoah, Sept. s.-Yesterday was
the third day of hot winds and burning
temperature, under the influence OF
which everything green is rapidly disap-
pearing. The early corn fields are al
most entirely dried up, and the later
planting will soon be withered. To out
ward appearances the corn crop was
never better, but farmers say that the
ears are not so full as usual, and all
agree that the corn will shrink too rap
idly under the intense heat, and, unless
we get rain soon, stock will have to be
fed. Business in stock anu grain is very
much disturbed, everybody is waiting to
see what effect the hot winds will have
on corn and pastures.
The building boom in this city is rap
idly closing up. and nearly all of the
business blocks are being Allied with
goods and wares OF various kinds.

Some of the Disgusting Results.
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Falls, Sept. S.-The wide open"
state of affairs that is now in progress
at the so-called street carnival at
Waterloo has so Disguised our people
that but few have visited that city so
far. Some of the good people of the
carnival city are protesting against the
free and easy character of the sports
All kinds of skin games are permitted.
Bad women are there from Chicago.
Omaha and other cities. 1t is dis
grace upon our sister city, for, as they
say, Everything goes" there this week.
The overflow from the boxing carnival
and horse racing city OF Dubuque seems
to have been transferred to the city on
the Cedar. All these things may be
very profitable, but certainly not very
creditable, to any place that will throw
wide open the doors of a city to such
things.

that the republican county con-

fight. While the chances are rather
in favor of Gear, it will not be walk
away, as the Cummins people developed
unexpected strength in the city of Mus

ing last rally. in an earnest effort to
control the convention and prevent in
workers in the county, and are lining
up for big contest Saturday. The
Cummins people have considered that
Senator Titus was with them, but they
expect that if this convention adopts
Gear resolutions he will support Gear;
hence there are practically two votes
involved in the result.
