NO ARMS sTIcE.
Roberts and Botha Fail to Agree
and HostiIities Have Been
Renewed.

London, June 19.-Lord Roberts, ac-
cording to Boer dispatch from Mach
adodorp, sent message to Command
ant Gen. Louis Botha on June 13, sug-
gesting disarmament and compliment
ing the bravery of the burghers. II was
pointed out that the surrender would
be without dishonor to the burghers
and would prevent much suffering.
Gen. Botha asked for six days armis-
tice in order to confer and consider.
Lord Roberts consented to five days.
Finally Gen. Botha declined to accept
the proposal, and hostilities were re-
newed.
The Boer commanders are retiring
on Middleburg, followed by the British
cavalry and artillery, occasionally
shells reaching the rear guards. The
Beers are destroying the bridges and
burning the veldt behind them, carry
ing off provisions and cattle and leav-
ing the country barren.

TWENTY YEARS IN EUROPE.
Or Memories of Noted People by Major
5. III. W. Byers.

Major s. H. M. Byers of Des
Moines, formerly of Qskaloosa, has
written new book, just now from
the press and for sale at every Iowa
book store. 1t is called Twenty
Years in Europe, or Memories of
Noted People,"
The Des Moines Capital sayss
This is the best literary work By
ers ever did, and it viii be hit.''
1t is beautifully Illustrated vol
ume, telling of the authors many ex-
periences and the noted people he
met while he was consul general to
Switzerland and Italy. Perhaps no
American ever served this govern
ment SO long abroad as he did, or
had so many experiences worth put
ting in book.
Byers was lifelong friend of Gen.
Sherman, and this book contains
nearly fifty of the Generals letters
written to the author. This alone
will attract great attention to this
volume, and Major Byers' friends
everywhere in Iowa will want to buy
it and read it We win review it
later.

An OskaIoosa Man who Tells IEf&

Much Good.

We will tell you what will cure the
worst kind of a case of backache
caused from the kidneys. We will
not only tell you, but win refer you
to people in all walks of life in the
city OF Oskaloosa who have used
Kid-ne-oids with the best results.
Mr.. Thos. Davis, 6Os South B Street,
says: ''I have been troubled with
my kidneys for several years. had
pains IN the smallof my bacE and
some times they we're very severe. l
had spells of headaches and dizziness.
Hearing SO, much about Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids l decided to try them.
took them according to directions
and they have cured me entirely of
all my troubles. / will recommend
them to my friends and others suf-
fering from kidney disease"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,

The destruction by fire of the
Auditorium is serious loss to Des
Moines, and the state in general re-
grets the damage. Astrange misfor-
tune seems to be following conven-
ton halls this year, only few weeks
ago Kansas City lost the big hall in
which the Democratic National con-
vention is to be held. If Des Moines
viii follow the pattern cut by Kansas
City and get her hall ready for the
Republican State convention, August
1, she will prove to the people of
Iowa that she is not SO slow as she
has been pictured. Otherwise the
convention will likely go to Cedar
Rapids.

IT PA US TO ADVERTISE .

The Montezuma Republican relates
the following incident which is COM
mon occurance in every newspaper
office:
"The other day business man
here encountered something that he
could not get done in town so he de-
sired to send the job to a Grinnell
business man, whose name he could
not call to mind but which he could
quickly discover if he could only see
it in print, so he came to this office
and inquired for Grinnell paper.
We handed him the Herald but he
looked in vain for the name of the
fellow and the result was the job
went elsewhere. The Grinnell man
does not advertise. See the point !!
If he ran a card in the paper in some
obscure corner the business man
would have found it. Advertisements
are guide-boards to the public. "

. The Chicago Tribune has esti-
mated, from its observation of the
work of the census enumerators, that
the population, of the United States
is nearly 79,OOO,OO0. 1t figures that
the center of population has moved
forty miles west and twenty miles
north in the decade and is now near
Indianapolis, Ind. The greatest gain
of any state or territory has been in
Oklahoma, which increased 48O per
cent. and Nevada shows a falling of
sixteen per cent. Iowa has increased
twenty-one per cent.

WILL REMAIN ON GUARD.
The Sheriff's Posse at st. Louis VIII
Not Be Discharged for the
Present.

St. Louis, June 19.--Monday was by
far the most uneventful in the his
tory of the street railway strike. This
was owing to the discontinuance of all
negotiations tending toward a settle
ment of the controversy, and to the
utter. absence of trouble along the nu-
merous routes of the Transit company.
The strike has now passed into the
second stage of its history, and the
general boycott instituted by the
American Federation of Labor, as out
lined in these dispatches for several
days, must tell the story. A slight
stir was caused during the day by
Sheriff Pohlman, who proposed that
the posse eomitatus, comprising $500
citizen soldiers, be discharged. A con-
ference of police and posse officials
threw wet blanket on the sheriff's
proposition by emphatically declar-
ing that the time was not yet ripe for
dispensing the body.

TIMES CHANGES.

"Thirty-five years ago." says the
Waverly Independent, "the writer
was with the boys in blue to whom
the army under Joe Wheeler and
Fitzhugh Lee surrendered. At that
time most of us though it would be
right to hang or shoot most of the
general officers at the head of the
rebellion. The past week bill was
introduced in congress by those who
wore the union blue, authorizing the
president to appoint three volunteer
officers as brigadier generals, with a
view to their retirement, and the bill
is designed to benefit Generals Joe
Wheeler, Fitzhugh Lee and James II.
Wilson. God moves in mysterious
way his wonders to PERFORM and a
whole lot of us who favored shooting
and hanging in 1865 rejoice today be-
cause we love Joe Wheeler, Fitzhugh
Lee and hundreds of their comrades.

BLooMINGTON'S CALAMITY.
Courthouse and the Finest of Her
Business Houses Burned with
Loss of over a Million.

Bloomington, ILL.,, June 20.-A ter
rife conf!dgration has wiped out near
ly one-half of the business portion of
Bloomington, including the finest
business buildings and heaviest stocks
of merchandise. Two, sides of the
courthouse square are in ruins, the
north and east, and two other blocks
cornering on the square and one-haf
of the block west of the square are
destroyed. The courthouse is ruin.
1t is standing, but is gutted from
dome to basement. The loss is vari-
ously estimated at from $1,500,00O to
$2,0o0,OO0. Fortunately no lives were
lost or anyone seriously injured.
There was a report that several fire
men were killed, but this proved un-
true. Fire broke out at 1880 a. m.
in the Model laundry on Monroe
street in the block northeast of the
courthouse. Immediately it got be-
yond control, passing into the four
story brick of B. S. Green Co., Monroe
and East. In an hour the entire
block was destroyed, excepting the
government building in which is the
post Office and which escaped un-
harmed.
The courthouse caught fire from
the Griesheim building and burned
slowly, the clock in the uome running
until it struck four. The court rec
ords were removed in safety. The
courthouse cost 100000 25 years ago.

HE CAUGHT THE FEVER.

Returning from his days work
tired and hungry, he sat down on the
handles of the wheelbarrow he was
pushing, and stopped to take look
at game of tennis that was in pro-
gress. Every muscle in his body
ached with fatigue and he wondered
how the fellows with the rackets
could put SO muchIigingar into their
sport. They were taking an exer-
else for their health's sake, while he
was wishing he was at the supper
table with the chores about the house
finished, and he could shardly under
stand the two conditions of affairs.
Presently his sunburned countenance
was lighted up with smile as one of
the boys made a good play. The
game grew interesting and he left
his wheelbarrow and plastered him
self up against the wire screen. The
interest grew and he was soon way
ing his hands and shouting, enjoying
the sport fully as much as those who
we're playing. An hour sped by and
his wife wondered what was keeping
him, little dreaming that he was il

IOWA CROP REPORT,
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
Des Moines. juno lg, 19OO.


The average daily temperature Of
the past week was two to four de-
grees below normal; the days being
moderately warm, with the average
amount of sunshine, and the nights
unusually cool for the middle of
June. The conditions as to temper
ature were highly favorable for field
work, and for oats, wheat, barley
and flax.
The rainfall for the week was very
unequally distributed; but during
the period from 9th to 18th all dis
tricts in the state were copiously
watered. Some heavy local down
pours caused considerable damage by
floods on bottom lands. But these
storms brought much needed moist
ure in sections that were threatened
with great damage by drouSS, and
the beneficent results vastly exceed
the incidental loss from excessive
rainfall.
Reports indicate good progress in
the cultivation of corn, and the fields
are generally unusually clean. In
the southern section early planted
fields are receiving their third plow-
ing, and at the present rate of pro-
gress the bulk of the crop will be
laid by before the first of the month.
Small grain crops are doing fairly
well. In the northwestern counties
oats and wheat suffered consider
ably from drouth, and the harvest
will be light. The hay crop has re-
ceived some benefit from the recent
rains, but the yield as whole will be
light. Haying operations are in pro-
gress in the central and southern
sections.
Reports as to condition of apples
are not flattering. Potatoes and gar
den vegetables are very thrifty.
