AND CROP BULLETIN
OF the Iowa Weather and Crop Service,
for Week Ending Monday,
April "a, 1890.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, /

DES MONIES, IOWA,
April %, 1899.
The average temperature of the
past week was about normal, and wealth
or conditions were generally favorable
for rapid progress in farming operations.
Scattered showers in the central and
southern districts gave an ample supply
of moisture for present needs but in
portions of the northern and western
districts the soil is becoming quite dry
and rain is needed to start vegetation
Spring wheat seeding is practically
completed, and the acreage is probably
little less than last year. In the north
ern and central sections seeding oats
and barley is nearing completion, the
acreage of these crops being nearly an
average. In the southern section oats
seeding has been considerably delayed
by the wet condition of the soil and re-
cent copious showers. On the whole
the outlook for spring grain crops is
fairly satisfactory, though somewhat
below the normal condition. Winter
wheat is practically a failure in the
larger part of the limited area seeded to
that crop. Clover has been badly winter
killed in all parts of the state.
A good beginning has been made in
blowing and preparing ground for corn.
Grass is making late start, and stock
will require feeding much later than
usual.

Last Monday was birth anniversary
with Mrs. A. A. Morse, and her daugh-
ter, Miss Ella, very appropriately OBJ
served the day by surprising the good
mother, having invited, without the
knowledge of Mrs. Morse, few of the
near neighbors to take tea with them.
Some ten ladies were present and an
enjoyable afternoon and tea hour was
spent 1t is the wish of all of the
friends of this worthy lady, and they
are legion, that she will enjoy many
more natal days and that each may be
as happy as the one just passed.

Rev. Moffett and wife left the city
Tuesday for their new field of labor.
On the evening before their departure
while they were out to tea, according to
previously arranged plans, large num-
Der of their former parlshioners and
acquaintances assembled at the par.
sonage. The Reverend gentleman
and his estimable wife were then
notified that they were wanted at their
home and when they had arrived, they
were met by the self-invited guests who
informed them that this assembly was
an expression of the appreciation of
the work done by them during the
past year. A pleasant evening was
spent, one of the most enjoyable fea-
lures of which was the presentation by
Rev. Job Baskerville, in behalf of the
many warm friends gathered there, to
Rev. Motfett and wife, chair each
and purse of money, as memento of
the high regard in which they were
held by their congregation. Both
parties responded in short speeches ex-
pressing their appreciation of the gifts
and the assurance that these friends
and neighbors would be remembered in
their new field of work. Mr.. Moffett
also, spoke in very complimentary
terms of his successor and wife, Rev.
and Mrs. o. p. Harnish and urged the
hearty cooperation of the people with
the new pastor and his help-meet. Mrs
Motfett was remembered by several neat
gifts from the Junior society who were
also present at this time to, bid them
| farewell.

Lamont had small pox scare last
week. A man whose home was in Chi
cago, ahd who was visiting relatives
near Lamont, died last Thursday with
every indication that his death was
caused by that dread disease. DIR. p E
Triem, of this city, was called and ar
rived after the man had died, but says
that his condition indicated that it was
case of small pox not fully developed.
The house was strictly quarantined and
the neighborhood thoroughly VAGINA
ted and further spreading of the dis.
ease is not now feared.
"A large audience was in attendance
at the City Hall last Wednesday even
ing. They came to enjoy musical en-
tertainment by the Louise Brehany
company and were richly repaid for
their time and money. All members
of the company were good, but Mr..
Sauvlet, the pianist, and Louise Breh-
any excelled. An admlrer of the won
derful Swedish singer once declared his
belief that some angel leaning too far
over the battlements of heaven must
have lost its voice, which, in descend
ing to the earth, fell upon the cot
where Jenny Lind was Graded. The
writer is not a competent judge of
music, he could not tell when singers
voice reached within gun shot of high
d, but when Louise Brehany sang the
"Last Rose of Summer" her rich, full
tones and perfect execution reminded
him of the theory advanced by Jenny
Lind's admirer. For time the melody OF
the song was notsppreciated, the listener
was theorizing upon where such voices
come from or how they are acquired
