Gov. Roosevelt, of New York
state, has been pet'tioned to re-
move Mayor Van Wyck, of New
York, because of his connection
with the ice trust. Such a sad
act would make this great
Tammany leader an available
man for vice president on the
Bryan ticket. You know Bryan
is just awful on trusts, and he
could hold up his partner as a
horrible example of the trust
evil. It is certain that the
ticket would receive. substantial
aid from the silver trust.

Week Ending June 4.
. GENERAL CONDITIONS.

GENERAL CONDITIONS.
There were local rains on several
days and in nearly all parts of the
state, but they were heavy enough
to be beneficial only in the South
west, and in southeastern counties
along the Iowa boundary: in other
parts Of the state the drought re-
mains practically unbroken. Early
spring wheat and oats are resisting
the dry conditions remarkably well;
on heavy soils they are turning
yellow; the late sown grains are un-
even and generally poor. Winter
wheat has begun to head. Opinions
as to the effect of the drought ON
wheat differ widely: some believe
that good rains at an early date
will bring a good crop, while few
think that the damage already is SO
great that under no conditions will
many fields recover sufficiently to be
worth cutting. The rye crop is very
poor. In a few places barley has be-
gun to head very irregularly and
with short plant. Late fax is un-
even in stand, and on new ground
the seed is not terminating. Early
corn and potatoes are being Guilt
waited, but the late planted are not
coming up well. Cut worms are
numerous in cornflelds and gardens.
Strawberries are ripening in south
ern counties, but the crop will be
light except in the most favored
spots. Pastures are very dry except
where the rains were heaviest, and
some cattle are being fed on moving
lands. Grass for hay is thin and
short, and it is doubtful if abundant
rains could help any but the wild
grasses, which can. be cut late in the
season. Glover is coming into
bloom. On the morning of the
I'd there was a killing frost as far
south as Lyon county, slightly
affecting gardens and small areas of
flax, corn and potatoes.

WAsHINGToN, May 1G.--Mr. Clark, of
Montana, fairly swept the senate with
his surprise yesterday by his formal
announcement that he had sent his
resignation as senator to the governor
of Montana. Mr.. Clark quietly rose
and addressed the chair. lie desired,
he said, in low, tense voice, to adj
dress the senate on question of priv
ilege personal to himself. Instantly
there was n buzz of expectation in the
chamber. Senators from both sides of
the main aisle hurried to seats near
Mr.. Clark, and Il hush fell upon the
assemblage as the Montana senator
began to speak. At first his words
scarcely could be heard, but as he pro-
ceeded his voice became clear, and,
while at no time did he speak loudly,
the intense earneStneSS of his utter
ance carried his address to the re-
hottest parts of the chamber. His adj
dress was a sharp arraignment of the
committees action and report, an
analytical discussion of the evidence
adduced at the investigation, an ex-
PLANTATION of the political and business
affairs in Montana, and bitter eX-
coriation of Mr.. Daily and his friends.
As Mr.. Clark adverted to his desire to
hand down to his children a name I'M
furnished even by the breath of dis
grace, tears welled to his eyes and his
voice trembled with emotion. lie
almost broke down. Then, bracing
himself, he read the letter he had sent
to the governor of Montana rendering
his resignation. At the conclusion of
his speech, Mr.. Clark became the CEN

MULCr LAW DECISION.

DEBORAH, May 20.--A decision in
an injunction suit has been entered

sets all mulct dealers of Winneshicls
county except those of DEBORAH. 1t
grew out of a petition for injunction,

The attorney for the plaintiff raised
the point that the board of supervis-
ors in canvassing the mulct petition
of consent did not cover one partic-
ular requirement of the law, to-wit,
in canvassing such petitions the su-
pervisors shall make finding of the
results in four respects viz: First, in
cities of over 5000 persons; second,
in the county as whole; third, in
the various towns; fourth, in the var
ious townships. There is nothing in
the record to show how many voters
and.signers there were to said petition
in the town of Ossian. This point raised
new question. Incorporated towns
have an actual existence, as much SO
as counties or cities. and are not to be
COMPOUNDED or mixed up with town
ships. When attention was called to
it Judge Fellows felt compelled to
hold the point well taken aud granted
the petition as prayed.

DON'T LIKE THE NEW LAW.
Building and Loan Associations VIII
Quit Business.

Building and Loan Associations Will
| Quit Business.
| Fort DODGE, May 19.-Building and
loan companies in the northwestern
part of the state are very much dis
couraged over the recent passage of a
law which makes profitable business
uncertain under its provisions. Until
the present time building and loan
companies have deducted all expenses
from the monies paid into the associa-
ton by the members. The new law
designates that per cent shall be the
legal rate of interest charged and all
assessments and expenses must be
only. This will cause radical change
to be made in the present methods of
conducting their business and already
a number of them have signified their
determination to liquidate and go out
of business when the new law goes
into effect, which will be June Is.
The Algona Deposit and Loan Associa-
ton is considering the advisability of
converting the association into fra
ternal insurance company. The busi-
ness affairs of the association are in
good condition and it has $4,000 in its
loan fund. Although test case is
now going on which will be carried to
the supreme court in hopes OF finding
the new law unconstitutional, it has
been considered prudent to provide
against any disappointment. The
Fort Dodge Savings and Loan Associa-
ton has also determined to go into
liquidation at once. With few ex-
ceptons the companies have been
doing prosperous business and pay
ing heavy dividends. 1t is an open
secret that after deducting the run
ming expenses from the per. cent
basis the margins will be too narrow
to continue without readjusting their
business methods

to define, regulate, prohibit and dis
solve trusts. In committee, every
democrat voted against the proposed
amendment to the constitution, hold
ing to the old principle of that party
that it would prove, if passed, an in
fringement of state rights. On the
main issue-the antitrust bill-the
democrats refrained from voting.

temptation and trial which confront a
man who seeks to do business in just
