wrong are having a hard row to hoe.

severe wind squall developed during
Saturday night, with much display of
lightning, causing considerable damage
to trees. windmills, and light frame
buildings. Reports indicate that
many apples, plums and cherries were
blown from the trees in exposed To-

the lack of moisture was threatening
serious injury to crops.

One of them asked Ashman where

altho some of them are badly bruised.
Mrs. B. +. Jones Of Ames, is also among
the injured.
The engines came together with ter
rife force and the noise of the coils

in the Phillips household, when 4 new
life would begin in which everything
OF the past would be forgiven and for

The weekly crop bulletin and weather
service report for the week ending

The average daily temperature of the

The rainfall for the week was very
equally Distributed; but during the
period from 9 to II all districts in the
state were copiously wateaed :Sot,,r,
heavy local downpours caused con.
siderable damage by floods on bottom
lands. But these storms brought much
needed moisture in sections that were
threatened with great damage by
drouth, and the benefcient results vast
~ exceed the incidental loss from ex-
cessiye 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 blowing, and
at the present rate Of progress the
bulk of the crop will be laid by be-
fore the close of the month,
Small grain crops are now doing
fairly we'll. In the southwestern couli,
ties oats and wheat suffered consid-
erably from drouth, and the harvest
will be light. The hay crop has re-
ceived some benefit from recent rains,
but the yield as a whole will be light.
Haying operations are in progress. in
the central and southern sections.
Reports as to condition of apples
are not fattering. Potatoes and gar

and timely cultivation. A large area
of early planted corn has been cult
waited the second time.
The hay crop has been materially
cut short in the northern and central
sections, and the present indications
are that for the state at large it will
fall considerably below the average.
The dry weather was favorable for
oats and other grain that had become
somewhat rank in growth. Some lodg-
ing has probably resulted from the
heavy windstorms of the 10th. Apples,
cherries and plums have suffered to
some extent in all sections. Potatoes
and garden truck are thriving. Z

Chinn's Declaration of war.
London, June 19.-China declared
war against the world when the Taku
lorts opened nre upon the international
fleet. The accounts of what took place
are still unsatisfactory, the best semi.
official information being dispatch
received at Berlin from Chefoo.
The unofficial narratives, coming by
way of Shanghai, vary widely and bear
internal evidence of supplementing ths
main facts with guesswork. One dis
patch says the Yorktown participated
in the bombardment. Another asserts
that American marines formed part Of
the storming force of 1000. An Assoc
ciated Press dispatch from Chefoo, dat
ed yesterday afternoon, says:
"The forts on both sides of Taku are
now occupied. The Chinese opened fire
unexpectedly. The casualties to the
mixed force were as follows:
Killed: British, 1; German, 8; Rus.

Uproar OF Enthusiasm.

( That was the signal and for the first
time the convention broke forth in a
whirlwind of enthusiasm. Men and
women sprang to their feet all animal
ed by a common purpose to do honor
to the president. Flags and handker-
chiefs We're waved everywhere in bill
lows Of color. For full minute the
demonstration was kept up. Then with
wave of his hand, the national chair
men bid the assemblage, to resume
their seats and let him proceed. Again
Hanna evoked demonstration when
speaking of the approaching campaign
he declared: "And with such leader
and such cause, there is no such word
as fail"
Hanna closed his speech with a tri-
butte 10 his colleagues on the national
committee and a reference to the close
of his chairmanship,and presented SEN
ator Wolcott, of Colorado, temporary
chairman. Fairbanks moved that the Sc
lection of Wolcott. be approved and
with a unanimous voice the delegates
so voted. The appearance of the Colo
RADIO orator set the convention off like
a rocket. With pleasant nod of ac-
knowledgement he delivered his adj
dress to the convention.
Wolcott's assertion that there are no
longer any differences between the re-
publicans of the east and the west,
evoked a great deal of cheering as did
his reference to the Philippines and
expansion.
Wolcott's declaration that those gull
ty OF stealing postal funds in Cuba
would be sent to Jail provoked APP
plause. Probably the greatest demon
stration occurred when he said we
