Our friends who follow the standard
Of Bryan are making the mistake this
year they usually make, that of being
to confident. Some of the leading
men of. the crowd claim that all
the signs point to the election of
Bryan by an overwhelming ma
jOrity: that he will sweep the country
from east to west and that Mckinley
will simply not be in it. We shall.
see about this later.

Weather and Crop Report.

Des Moines. Iowa, May 2lst, 1900.
The past week was cooler than usual
with great excess of cloudiness in all
parts of the state. There was prev
alence of cool northeast wind, with
more or less rainfall in the larger part of
the state every day of the week except
Sunday. The amount of rainfall was
light in the northwest district and in the
western counties of the west central
district. The balance of the state was
copiously watered, the amounts reported
ranging from 0.70 to $50 inches. Except
in few localities the rain fell moderate
ly, the bulk Of the moisture being alb
sorbed by the soil and very beneficial to
grass, small grain crops, potatoes and
vegetation generally.
In the larger part of the state field
work has been much retarded or entirely
suspended during the week; and in
nearly all districts there is portion of
the corn acreage yet to be planted
Early planted corn has terminated fairly
well, making about an average stand.
About the usual amount of replanting
will be done, as the result of damage by
cut worms, defective seed, and excessive
moisture in undrained fields.
On the whole the weather conditions
have been favorable for staple farm crops,
gardens and orchards.

District Court.

When the petit jurors came in Monday
they were agreeably surprised by being
told by Judge Green that their services
were not needed this term. Most OF
them were anxious to return to the care
OF their crops. Law business is light
and the judge is to be commended for
keeping down the costs as much as
possible.
In the case against Henry ..Kephart,
brought back from Kansas City on the
charge of seduction, the prosecuting
witness having failed to appear and
having left the state, the case was
dismissed.
Ben Mendenhall was indicted by the
grand jury for keeping gambling house
and is out on ball.
E. N. Taggart who charged his wife
with cruel and abusive treatment, was
granted divorce, she not appearing to
defend. They were married in New
York state in 1866. She is given eighty
acres of land and $500 in money and
household goods.
The evidence in the case Of the Mutual
Building x Loan Association VS.. Jennie

mitted to the court and the argument
will be submitted later.

The high school nine played the At
lantic high school nine last Saturday at
Atlantic the result of the game being
nine to three in favor of Atlantic. At
the end Of the sixth inning the score
stood three to two in favor of Atlantic
which shows that 10Th sides we're play
ing ball. We prefer to take that as evil
dence that our boys were playing some
rather than the words of the Messenger
which says the Audubon boys are off
color when it comes to playing ball.
The Atlantic boys were allowed to
strengthen their team by putting in a
man for catcher, who. we understand,
has had employment as paid player, a
sort of professional who has no connec-
ton with the high school whatever. We
presume that il the players had been
limited to the two high schools that our
team would have overmatched theirs as
it plainly did here. The boys from here
speak in praise of W. H. Lows generous
treatment. He served them with sup
per at the Windsor. Daddy" Franklin,
Atlantic's umpire, was very satisfactory
and perfectly fair. OF the general crowd
Of rooters made up Of most Of the people
who attended the boys do not speak
highly. Their conduct amounted at
times to interference. 1t ought to pay
town to treat it's visitors even to a ball
game in decent way We understand
our boys offered to play the Atlantic
boys on neutral grounds but the latter
declined.
The Atlantic Telegraph gives the fol-
lowing article about the Audubon and
Atlantic bali game Of last Saturday:
The game was essentially a pitchers
battle; there was very little hitting,
neither pitcher allowing over 8 ar Z hits,
and these were scattered through the
game so it is doubtful il there we're
more than one or two earned runs. But
the honors were in favor Of Guy, the
Atlantic twirler, his performance being
little less than remarkable. He did
not give man base on balls, did not
hit batter, made six strike outs and
fielded mis- position with but one error.
Walker OF Audubon pitched very
good game, struck out ten men, giving
one base on balls, and hitting two men
but he did not field clearly and it was
his errors in the seventh inning that
allowed Atlantic four runs. When it is
considered, however, that both were
boys, without great deal of expert
ence, and with crowd bowling and
yelling. and with runners on bases most
Of the time, the showing was excellent.
As far as the other players we're con-
cerned the teams were about equal, the
Atlantic boys hitting little harder,
perhaps. The visitors conducted them.
selves very gentlemanly and the game
was commercially free from contention
or muckerish actions on the part Of the
players. due no doubt. to the very fair
umpiring. The only thing Questionable
was the action OF the small boys in the
crowd who showed remarkable yo-
cabulary OF expressions calculated to
cast odium upon the visiting players.
But then small boys are the same the
world over.
