The change in railroad estimates OF
the crop condition during the past two
weeks would be remarkable, says the
Pioneer Press, were it not for one
tning. Two weeks ago the northwest
states could show perhaps a half mill
lion acres of wheat that at that time
did not appear to be worth cutting.
There was some grain there but not
enough to pay TO harvest. -Four
bushels per acre was about the aver
ages. But now this is apparently all
saved and these same fields promise
i've, six or seven bushels per acre. The
Two million bushels Of wheat that was
then considered worthless will in all
probability be saved, In addition 20
smother two or three bushels made pos
sible by the recent rains. The reports
received two weeks ago were accurate
at that time. There was no mistake
in the estimates hen. The rains have
simply save dto the farmers from two
thirds to half a crop where the condi-
lions were most favorable. The early
s0Wn wheat, however, in the north
west section of the wheat belt. which
was lost is made up to the farmer in

DRAFT staIlions.

It is doubtful IL the owners OF draft
stations In the west and middle west
and northwest have ever found patron
age for their horses SO plentiful as It
Ia this season, says The Breeders Ga
zette. Every good horse and many
that + not entitled to be called good
In any sense have practically all they
ought to do, while all local favorites
are overrun. That the sentiment OF
farmers is in favor OF getting all colts
possible is proved by the demand that
exists for capsules wherewith the oper-
alton Of impregnation may be perform
ed. This operation has been thorough
II described In these columns, and the
fact that many are buying the capsules
shows conclusisely that II Is desired
to get as many foais as possible. There
Is much satisfaction to be had from d
review Of the situation rs It at present
stands. Az q rule service fees are
higher than for years past, and yet In
many localities they are not high
enough--that Is, the class OF horses
the farmers demand and the amount
Of money they n willing to pay do
not dovetail neatly ut all. Every day
the market shows more strongly the
wide gulf that is fixed between the
good and the common horses In point
OF value and readiness Of sale, and
the mare owner who does not seek the
very best stallion he can find Is DELHI
erately throwing money away. No man
can afford to purchase q high class
stallion and stand him for q scrub Tee.

Montezuma. May about sixty-five
of the Montezuma Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs attended the celebration at
Marshalltown last Thursday and We're
all we'll pleased with the treatment re-
ceived at the hands OF the fraternity
there.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Mcdonald and

w. B. Hawkins arrived home Satur-
day from tour of the west. When he

in Kansas detained him there some

Last Saturday night s. A. Hunter
and A. E. Pollard failed to get any

Hunters son Lee, lad of 10 years, who
decided to move out into the world by
himself. Saturday afternoon they got
on his track about sundown and by
diligent inquiry followed him to Ewart
where they found him in bed at the
hotel. He said he had started for
Northf1eld, Mimi, the home of Mr..
Hunters parents. but as he left his
shoes at home he was getting tired of
the journey and was foot-sore from his
seven-mile tramp.

SIGNS The BILL.
Governor shaw 8Amxes signature to
Building and Loan Law

Special to Times-Repnblican.
Des Moines, May 1.-Before going to
the general conference OF the Methodist
church at Chicago Governor Shaw
signed the building and loan bill. as he
announced he would a week ago.
The building and loan law provides
that building and loan concerns must
conform to Its provisions on or before
July Is. The law being published off,
scially Tuesday morning will give the
ASSOCIATIONS just two and one-half
months in which to make the radical
changes which are required in their ar
.ticles Of incorporation. The valued
policy bill Will undoubtedly be signed
by the governor. While the insurance
companies made an excellent showing
against the law, the governor is said
not to believe that he should counter
act the decision Of the general assem-
bly, on a measure which has the sup.
port OF practically all the people. The
people believe that the valued policy
law is right. Whether this belief is
based upon q full understanding of the
effects OF its provisions or not. yet the
belief does exist. and q Two years trial
OF such a law Will not be resented by
the people nor will 1t be extremely dan,
Eerous to the Insurance companies. If
the law, as claimed. tends to increase
insurance rates by 100 per cent, the leg
islature in two years from now Will be
made fully cognizant OF the fact and
can then repeal the law IL 1t is re-
Earded as desirable thing to do.

ken yesterday afternoon by the fling of

the editors Of the Elmira (Sew York;

nesses in his case, without whose testi-,
mory he can not safely proceed. That.
he has not had a reasonable time since
the Indictment TO procure the DISPOSE

cure their attendance at such trial,
and that said dispositions could not be
taken during this term of court. That
on or about February he had res
ceived d letter from !Alonzo Treet stat
ing that Emma G.. Van Gorder had On
or about that date died suddenly Of
heart trouble. That he had left the
said letter in his trunk at the time of
his arrest and he had not been able to
find it. And that a conspiracy had been
entered into vet unknown to the defend
ant to make him believe said Emma G.
Van Gorder was dead and cause him to
again marry and render himself liable
To criminal prosecution. The court will
probably rule on this motion today.

Des Moines. May I've tax federal
bonds in Polk county. Herman Hut
.sonpiller on Dec. 20. 1899. bought $4,000
worth Of government bonds from a
Chicago firm. After the assessor had
called Mr.. Hutsonpiller sold the bonds
back to the Chicago house. The asses
sOr suspected he was doing this and
listed the bonds for assessment and
taxation. despite the fact that the law
exempts federal bonds from taxation.
When the matter came before the city
council as board Of review Mr.. Hut
eonpiller protested. claiming his rights
under the law. His attorney was forced
to admit that the bonds were bought
Tor the purpose OF evading what they
termed excessive taxation. On ac-
count Of this admission the council con-
llrmed the assessment made by the as
sessor and the taxation OF the bonds
remains on the tax list. The question
Is whether Or not personal property
can be Transformed into federal bonds
for the purpose Of escaping taxation
and succeed in avoiding the taxation

Special to Times epublican.
Lake City, May 1.-This community
is stirred thoroughly over the terrible
tragedy which was enacted two and a
half miles south of this city yesterday.
morning. when MIR. A. j. Wilcox was
shot by his eldest son and instantly
killed.
AS near as can be ascertained this is
the tragic ending of several years of
unpleasantness in this unfortunate
home. Mr.. Wilcox has been a constant
drlnker, and very frequently became
Intoxicated, at Which time he was very
cruel to his wife and family.
All day Sunday and on Monday early
he abused his wife. who is the mother
of nine children. The oldest son. who
has not been able to live a t home peace
ably for some time, had repeatedly said
that if his father ever abused his moth
er again he would attend" to him.
After a quarrel at the house yesterday
morning they went into the field to
work. The son and father again quar-
relied. the father starting for his son
with knife. The son had double
barrel shotgun with him. presumably
Ito shoot squirrels. He warned his IA
ther to come no nearer, but Mr.. Will
cox not needing the warning the boy
fired. tearing the flesh from his ia
theirs side. The second shot, which
seems to have been fired in quick sue
l5cession, entered the face just below the
temple. tearing a frigktful hole thru
the face and carrying the eye with it.

Des Moines. May 1.-.During the past
week Emlin McClain, of Iowa City, and
Judge Zala a. Church. Of Jefferson.
were in the city in attendance on the
annual banquet of the Grant Club,
They are both candidates for the re-
publican nomination for supreme
Judge. Mr.. lMcClain has become we'll
known as the chancellor of the law de-
.partment Of the state university and
Mr.. Church has been judge of the Six
teenth judicial district for a number Of
years. His influence, 1t is said, with
drew Mahlon Head. OF Greene county,
from the speakership fight last Janu-
airy. This was in the interest Of Mr..
.Cummins, for whom Mr.. Head after
time was candidate for the federal
judgeship to fill the yyoolson vacancy,
but he withdrew and simultaneously
announced his candidacy for the SUI
preme judgeship. He comes from the
Tenth district and his interests arc
naturally antagonistic to those Of Mr..
.GilbeNson. candidate for treasurer OF
state. While here, however. he ex-
pressed the greatest confidence in the
outcome OF the contest. Chancellor
McClain comes from the Second dis
Etrict, which already has q member on
the bench, and is also confident. His
friends are watching Judge Blanchard,
of Oskaloosa. with considerable inter
est. II Judge Blanchard decides to be
a candidate and can secure the infiu-
2ence in that part of the state to with
draw Sloan and Fee he would be one
of the most formidable candidates in
the field and would draw from the sup
port in that section OF the state which
would naturally belong to Chancellor
sMcClain. The treasurership fight is be-
coming so bitter and the convention is
so far away that speculation as to the
judgeship Is hardly reasonable. The
convention, however, may not be SO ia,
away as some. of the politicians believe
Mr.. Gilbertson and Mr.. Morrow say
that they favor the earliest sort of a
convention in order to end the contest
and give the people a rest during the
extremely hot weather before the real
campaign opens.
