again. 1t is now. however, all depend
ent upon the weather. which is beyond
the control of any of the Wall street
magnates Providence alone controls.
The thing to do, therefore, is for opera
tors to get in touch with the clerk OF
the weather for a safe guide. Better
prices will probably compensate the
farmers as a whole for any loss in
yield, and the activity with which grain
has recently been rushed to primary
markets proves that the farmers con-
slider the present favorable opportunity
for selling. Had they faith In short
crop scares they would not be parting
with their product so readily.
We continue to suggest caution re.
garding the market. Easy money, July
disbursements and improvement in the
Chinese situation will be some support
to the market; but the bears, strength
end by recent successes, are still ag
gressive; and, with the Kansas City
Convention at hand and other unsatis
factory conditions referred to above
still to be dealt with, the immediate
outlook is by no means positively clear
In cas- of surprises values may b'
subject to sharp attacks; though OF
pronounced breaks good stocks vii
probably be a purchase.

DEN1soN. Iowa, July 2nd, 1900.

DENIsoN. IOWA, July 2nd, 1900.
To the Township Trustees and Road
Supervisors OF Crawford County. la.
The legislature at its last session re-
pealed the former law relating to the
cutting OF weeds along the highway
and its stead enacted the following:
Sec. | 1t shall be the duty of road
supervisors TO cause to be cut, near the
surface all weeds on the public roads
in their respective districts, between
the 18th day of July and the 18th day
of August in each Year, But nothing
herein shall prevent the land owner
from harvesting the grass grown upon
the roads along his lan3 in the proper
season.
AS will be seen from reading of the
above it is part of the duty of the super
visor to attend to this matter, and as
the repeal of the old lam does away
with the provision for taxing the cost
of cutting up to the property owner
the cost now will be at the expense o.
the district. This new law makes il
absolutely the duty of the road super
visor and does not make any provision
for the land owner doing it. This ac
is in effect this year.
