POWDER FROM CORN wHIsKEY.

One CT the most important recent de-
velopments is the use of corn in the
manufacture of smokelass powder
Hundreds of thousands of gallons OF
distilled spirits, made from corn, have
already been used by the great gov
ernments in making the new explosive
and, until universal disarmament be-
comes more than a dream, the demand
for corn for this purpose must con-
stantly increase. In this view Of the
case an increase in standing armies
will be Of value to the farmer, who
may also lock at the increased military
activity in the far east and in Europe

The difference in the attitude of a
large wing of the democratic party in
1864 and of the SAME party in 1899 is
hardly discernible The effect of the
stand taken on those occasions, how
ever, will be vastly different. In the
first instance the seat of trouble was
at home and the party in a measure
could accomplish its purpose. In this
year of our Lord the insurgent ele-
ment of the party can do n2thing
worse than defeat the hopes of the
party at large, which will not be a
bad result in view of the fact that it
guarantees republican supremacy for
a number of years longer. 1t is sad
I've should love our enemies.

THE CROPS OF THE YEAR.

The close relationship that exists be-
tween the crops and national prosper
| ity naturally invests the crop reports
CT the government with eXceptiOnl
interest TIC all classes of producers and
tradesmen.
1t might be said also that the crop
prospects for the year preceding a
presidential campaign are CT a. more
vital concern to the people than the
crop reports of any other year AS a
matter of fact populism had its birth
in the crop failures Of the west. Pop
ular discomfort over the workings of
natural laws has always been the
prolific breeder CT revolutionary and
impractical political ideas. The de-
cline of populism, indeed, may be at
tributed to the general prosperity that
has come from successive bountiful
crops and from the restoration OF pub
lie confidence through the maintenance
OF a sound and stable currency.
When the official acreage CT wheat
fer this year shall have been reviewed
in the light of the latest data and the
actual threshing results CT rate OF yield
are secured it is believed that the Off
cial estimate OF the crop of the year
will reach 530,000,000 bushels. 1t is
remembered, however, that the gov
eminent September report of last year
placed the crop at 35,00O,O00 bushels
but the official returns afterward made
it 675 900, O00 It will not surprise
amy one, therefore, if the wheat crop
of 1899 should reach 600, 600, 900 bush
els.
A comparison of the government bu-
reau reports and the state returns of
wheat acreage in eight great wheat
growing states is given as follows:

Bloomfield, Sept. 14.-(special.)-
The presbytery of Iowa met in the
Bloomfield Presbyterian church, Sept.
10 and 10. The meeting was well at
tended and the pleasant weather and
hospitality of the town of Bloomfield
rendered the stay of the delegates very
delightful.

acted was in regard to home missions
and the apportionment of the aid from
the board to the various fields. With
regard to the Bloomfield church and
it's application for being made a single
charge and freed from being linked
with the work of the Shunem church,

ing the Shunem church in any other
way.

HOME FROM ALASKA
w. T. Summers, of Juneau, Alaska
Arrived Here This Morning.
HE WILL co BACK IN "A WEEK.

[From Wednesdays Daily.l

[From Wednesdays Daily.]
w. t. Summers, son of Mrs. S. W.,
Summers, of 524 West Fourth street,
arrived in the city this morning. Mr..
Summers is president of the First Ma
tional bank at Juneau, Alaska, and
left that place on August Z. He will
remain in the city for a week and will
then start back to Alaska. Mr.. Sum-
mers was formerly of this city and is
well known here. He opened the first
national bank ever started in Alaska.
When interviewed this morning by
a Courier reporter, Mr.. Summers said
that Juneau was nicely situated on the
coast in the quartz region. Juneau,
together with Douglass City, a town
Just across the river, contains popu-
lation of 1000 people. The city; is
growing rapidly and the banking in
terests are very good. Mr.. Summers
said that Glen, his brother, who is the
cashier of the bank, is enjoying the
best of health, and his wife is also we'll.
When asked about the climate there,
he said that the coolest day they had
last winter was four degrees above
zero, and that the weather there is
generally very enjoyable.
Mr.Summers said: ALASKA is fastcom-
ling to the front as a gold producing
country, although many go there who
do not meet with success. Gold quartz
is the foundation of southeast Alaska,
but the placer mines are naturally tenn
porary. Considerable copper is also
mined there.
1 The latest advices from Cape Nome
are very encouraging, and rich find
Iings are being made there most every
Iday. The Treadwell Stamp Mines, 10
Gated within five miles of juneau, are
the largest in the world. Over thou
sand men are employed there, and
nearly all the gold stamping of the
section is done there"
4 When asked in regard to the boun-
dairy question, Mr.. Summers stated
4 that Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana
was there during the. summer, being
sent there by the president. He said
the senator looked over the grounds
land although he did not say anything
in regard to what action, would be
taken, the general inference was tina,
the United States would not concede
anything to their Canadian brethren
and that they would not submit to an
arbitration. Theretwere number o.
congressman there during the sum
inner, among whom was Congressman,
Hull, of Iowa. Mr.. Summers sale
that there is "a large amount of Eng
fish capital invested in that region.
