WILL MOVE FOR A NEW TRIAL.

F. D. Tams and ]. J. Cusick rave no.
tilted James A. Murray that they intend
to move for a new trial in the suit
brought by them against Murray some
time ago to determine title to a block of
stock in the Pocatello Water company,
and which was won by the defendant.
The ground upon which the motion is to
be based is alleged ~irregularity in the
proceedings of the court and abuse OF
discretion by which plaintiffs were pre-
vented from having a fair trial: also al
legged insufficiency of evidence to ustlfy
the decision and order made.

CORN NEARING MATURITY.
Crop Will Exceed All Records fol-
MANY Years.

Des Moines, Aug. 2S.-(Special. y
The past week was warmer than usual
with some excess of rainfall in numer-
Gus localities. On the night of the Odd
some local damage resulted from
windstorms of considerable severity.
But little progress has been made in
threshing in the northern and central
sections, where considerable small
grain is generally threshed or in stack
The corn crop is rapidly nearing ma
turity, and in all sections early plant
ed fields are about ready for the har-
vester; in a few localities cutting was
in progress at the close of the week
All reports indicate that, despite local
damage by wind and hail. it will ex-
coed all records for the past ten or fif-
teen years.
The soil is generally in excellent
condition for blowing, and unusual
progress has been made in that line.
An abundance of fall pasturage is now
assured, which will be very helpful in
view of the shortage of the hay crop.
A dry September will improve the
quality of all unharvested crops. Fall
apples are fairly abundant in the nor
thern and southern sections, but the
apple crop for the state at large is
unusually light especially the late fall
and winter varieties.

Virginia, Shoup of Idaho. Lindsey of
Kentucky, a gold democrat whose sue
cessor, free silverite has already
been selected, Thurston of Nebraska,
Warren of Wyoming, and Walcott, of
Colorado. Ihis makes a total of nine
votes which are absolutely certain to
be lost to the gold standard in event
OF Bryan's election. Deducting these
nine from the 54 votes given above,
and the United States Senate will be
tie on the money question, and with
Bryan elected president there will be
free silver vice-president to cast
the deciding vote.
The committee says there is abso-
lutely no question as to the accura ~
OF the above statement, and it is the
purpose of the committee to get this
showing before the people as soon as
possible. The document will also
contain statements made by Bryan to
the effect that if elected he will in
mediately call an extra session Of
congress, and the statement of Mr..
Grosvenor that should Bryan do as he
could by exercising a little of that
imperialistic power which he dis
played at the Kansas City convention,
congress will repeal the gold stand
ard law and pass a bill for the free
coinage of silver.
Reference is also made to the mes
sage Bryan sent to Captain LeSeur,
editor of the Kansas City Time, in
which he bluntly stated that he would
mot accept the democratic nomina-
ton if any jot or little was abated
from the explicitness of the declara-
ton for the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to /. A letter from
Bryan to the editor of the Clinton Age
on July 20, 1900, is quoted in regard
to the Kansas City platform as fol-
lows:
81 am sure that before the cam
paign is over all our democrats will
realize that the platform is much
stronger as it is than it would have
been if we had attempted to dodge
the silver question. The simple re
affirmation, however honestly intend
ed, by those who offered it, would
have been misconstrued and misin-
terpreted by the republicans.

AFRAID HE WOULD KILL HER.
coIored People Quarreled in Central
Addition.

AOulllOU.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Lottie Fisher and Bob Harris, tvs
colored people created a ripple of ex-
element over in Central Addition
last evening. Lottie told the pc
lice that Bob tried to kill her,
and her face showed that she had
been treated to severe punishment to
say the least. The woman was thor
oily frightened, and escorted by Capt
John Gray went to the house where
she had been boarding, secured her
trunk and left on the Wabash at $50
for Hannibal, where she said she
knew she would be safe
The police failed to locate Harris.
The Fisher woman before leaving
gave the officer revolver which she
said belonged to Harris, at the same
time relating that she was afraid OF
him, as he had on previous occasion
tried to kill her by shooting at her.
After she had been escorted to the
depot she pretended to be afraid to
get on the train, contending all the
time that Harris was secreted some
where in the dark about the station
waiting for the train to pull out when
he would board it and renew the quar-
rel. The police failed to find Harris,
and were OF the opinion that he was
far from the Wabash depot at that
time.

Interesting Information Concerning
the Yield of Same.
The Monthly Review of the Iowa
Weather and Crop Service for July
contains some very interesting infor-
nation for farmers in regard to the
yields of different varieties of wheat
during recent years, from which it APP
pears that the variety known as the
Turkish Red is slightly in the lead
with yield of 55.3 bushels per acre,
followed by the Bearded Fife with 55
bushels, Buda-Pesth with SO bushels,
and others down to eleven bushels per
acre.
Following is what the bulletin says
of the different varieties:
I'm response to many inquiries re-
ceived relating to the subject of winter
wheat, Professor Curtiss, director of
the Iowa experiment station, has is
sued bulletin giving the results of
Investigations during recent years.
The experiments conducted in 1900 are
reported fully and may be summarize
ed as follows:
Variety Test-Nineteen varieties
were seeded in the fall of 1899. OF
this number fourteen survived the Win
ter. Four of them passed thru the
winter without the slightest injury,
the remaining ten being more or less
winter-killed. The names and yield

sa, Fairfield, Abba and Keoklk, and in
all that country not township will be
omitted. Buffalo Bills advance agent
has placed twelve men on the country
routes within a radius of forty miles
of Ottumwa, and thru the advertising
of this show the carnival will get the
best possible results. In addition to
this the Western Traffic association
has made rate of one and one-third
fare on all roads for distance of 100
miles.
Manager Hamilton, who has charge
of the show end of the carnival, has
booked a line of attractions such as
the place has never seen before. They
comprise Mile. Christine, the two-head-
ed woman, one of the best cards OBJ
tainable: To Zooney and his Arabic
Congress of Beauties; the Edison War
agraph, which takes an enclosure 100
feet in length, showing pictures of the
Boer war; Van Eaud and his exhibit
of reptiles including nine boa con-
strictors, asps, anacondas and Ameri-
can reptiles. This is but small part
of the booking. Two big free shows
will be given and every artist engaged
is feature. The outlook for the car
nival is very bright. Merchants and
business men generally are readily
adding their bit to the success of the
project.
The laboring men are making big
preparations. They intend to place
5000 men in line on industrial day.
The secret societies are sending out
invitations to other lodges to be pres
ent on secret society day and the
committee on Emancipation day is ar
ranging to give the carnival boost.
This carnival will be success simply
because everybody seems to take a
part in it.
The Wapello Chief band has been
engaged to head all professions and
with three other first-class bands will
give concerts both in the daytime and
evening turnout the week.

FELL INTO THE clsTERN.
Nine Year Old Boy Has An Exciting
Experience.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Halle, the nine year old son of Will
liam KILLER, of West Woodland avenue,
was the victim of peculiar tho not
serious accident at his home last even
ing. The water in the cistern was
very low and the top had been remov-
ed so that water could be drawn with
a bucket A board was placed across
the top and last evening when the boy
went to draw a bucket of water he
stepped on the end of the board which
was not fastened and it gave way, pre-
cipitating him into the water fifteen
feet below. The water was only about
three feet deep and the boy had the
presence of mind to stand up and thus
keep his head above the surface of the
water. He was soon pulled out and
was none the worse for the expert
ence.

Buda-Pesth and Bulgarian are very

OF these varieties is of the highest or

BALD VS.. Bearded Varieties-There
is much demand for a hardy bald vari-

present time there are none on the
market. The following table gives the
results of test of the bald and beard
ed varieties this year:
Bearded average six varieties

Bald average eight varieties)-
17.3 bushels per acre.
place in the Rotation-On a good
upland soil wheat was sown after
rape, flax, buckwheat and millet, and
the following results We're obtained:
after rape, 59.S bushels per acre.
after flax, $50 bushels per acre.
after buckwheat, 55.3 bushels per
acre.
after millet, 54.7 bushels per acre.
THE above experiment indicates
that when a soil is in suitable condi-
ton for the growth of any of the above
crops, it is well suited for the growth
of winter wheat
"Only twice during the last ten
years has the winter wheat crop fail
ed on the station grounds, and during
this time the yield mas never been less
than twenty-five bushels per acre, usu-
ally yielding between thirty and forty
bushels. In general it is found to be
much more profitable than spring
wheat, giving decidedly higher yield
and furnishing one of the best crops
with which to establish grasses and
clovers."
