Wall Lake.

In company with . A Walker and
A Edgecomb we spent Sunday up at
Wall Lake with the crowd of Valley
people camping there. 1t is one of the
most beautiful lakes in the state. The
water ia clear and the beaches all
gravel. VIII Scott is proprietor of
the resort on the Lake and looks after
the comfort of the campers and visit
ors. There are about forty cottages
around the banks of the Lake, and Mr.
Scott has fine commodious hotel.
The cottages are situated in a fine
grove of trees and is one of the coziest
places lmmaginable. There are two
steamboats, on the lake for the pleas.
ure of the visitors. Tie lake is from
q half to mile wide, and about four
miles long. The cottages around the
lake are rented at reasonable price,
and we don't know of place in the
state where man and his family can
go and spend week more pleasantly
than at Wall Lake. The ladies from
this city are having the best time of
their lives. They are putting in their
time fishing, boating, bathing, and pic
nicking and if there ever was crowd
of ladies having better time we hav-
MT heard of it. They promised to
write letter for TIE TIMES before
they return and we expect to have it
about tomorrow. We would advise
the people of this city to take a week
off and 60 up to Wall Lake and have
q good time. Any information you
may want about rates &c will be fur
nished you by writing to w II Scott
Proprietor Lakewood Hotel, Lake
View.

Weather and Crop Bulletin
For Week Ending June
Twenty-Fi

Dies MONIES, Iowa.
The weather conditions of the
week were fairly good for all
crops. The rainfall was unequal
ly distributed, ranging from very
light showers to heavy downpours
in extensive areas. Some local
damage was caused by wind
squalls and hail, but generally
the results were very beneficial,
and in nearly all sections there is
ample moisture for present needs.
Good progress has been made
in cultivating corn, and work in
that line will be practically COM
pleted by the first of July. The
general condition of that crop is
highly promising.
The cool nights and moderate
temperature have been favorable
to oats, wheat and barley, check
ing the tendency to development
of smut and rust. Spring wheat
and oats are filling we'll, though
in northern districts the stand is
thin and straw short. Barley
harvest will begin within a few
days.
Clover cutting is in progress,
with variable yield. Timothy is
generally thin, but the meadows
have been improved from effects
of recent rains by new growth OF
clover.
Reports received by the Secre-
tary of the Horticultural Society
indicate some decline in the con-
dition of apples, especially in the
central and southern sections.

Driving Rod Brakes.

An accident which might have
caused most disasterous wreck,
occurred this morning near the
semaphore at the eastern terminus
of the N. w. yards in this city.
AS engine No. 28S, pulling N.
W. passenger train No. IL, the

rage speed, when through some
cause, one of the driving rods of
the engine became loosenod and
soon the detached portions of the
engines mechanism was energet-
icaly engaged in the endeavor to
demolish things generally, but the
emergency soon brought the en-
gine and train to a stand still, but
not before some damage to the en-
gine and road bed had been ac-
complished. A switch engine was
sent out from the yards and bro't
the disabled engine and train into
the station. Another engine was
provided for the train while the
engine was taken to the shops for

Della Fox Used Cocaine.

The Des Moines Register says: Della
Fox lost her reason through the use OF
cocaine, and she contracted the cocaine
habit by the use of a certain we'll known
catarrh cure. While the once popular
little actress was playing in st. Louis
in "Ihe Little Host" two years ago.
she sent her manager, Nat Roth, to a
drug store to get catarrh cure tina,
had been recommended to her. TIL.
druggist told Roth the cure must be
used with care as it was in great par,
nothing but cocaine. Miss Fox used
more and more of the alleged cure,
and finally began using pure cocaine,
with the result that she formed habit
which she could not stop, and it has
low landed her in an insane asylum,
lext door to death. 1t is always best
to know what you are taking"

A Long Man and a Short Man
Successfully Ply Their
Ayocation.

Avocation.
One of the thoroughly success
full and artistic hold ups of the
season occurred on the public
road between this city and Logan
last night, Thomas Cox and VIM
Jenkins, both of this city, playing
the principal roles, ably assisted
by long and short man, each
OF the latter carrying a gun Of the
Al variety.
About l0:3O Jenkins and Cox,
seated in a double seatedrig, were
passing Bates Branson's farm
about four miles east of this city
and had just started to drive
through dark lane fringed on
both sides with trees, when two
men with the regulation holdup
accoutrements, namely, a face
mask and II volver, stepped from
beside tree, one of them taking
hold of the horses bits while the
other passed to the carriage and
thrust revolver in uncomfortable
proximity to the heads of the oc-
cupants OF the carriage. After the
team had been stopped the man
at the horses head joined the
highwayman at the carriage and
together they proceeded to relieve
the unfortunate occupants of every
thing of value they possessed
Jenkins was not disposed to deliv-
er all his valuables without some
protest and accordingly showed
some fight, but the robbers, who
seemingly fcresaw some such ac-
ton, produced pair of new hand
cuffs and soon had jenkins firmly
manacled. Without uttering a
word the robbers then proceeded
to rifle the pockets of the two and
succeeded in obtaining S24 in cash
gold watch and numerous other
rticles of value. After complete
ing their work, the robbers releas-
ed Jenkins and informed them the
wisest thing they could do was to
"move," and move they did with
alacrity. The police have a fairly
tangible clue as to the perpetra-
tors of the deed, and as they have
the number of the watch which
was stolen, the prospects are that
the robbers may be apprehended.
Mrs Tom Marshall left for Sioux
City this morning with her sister,

New Use For the C. & 0. Canal.

Mr.. Joseph L. Haines of Linwood, man
endowed by nj. ture with more or less genius
and with an intelligence deepened by study
and broadened by contact with thoughtful
practical men, writes to the Westminster
Sentinel, suggesting the installation of cleo
trical generating plants at each of the "a
locks on the g. q o. canal, between Cumber.
land and Georgetown. He says;-"At least
10000 horse power can be employed (he
probably intended to say 'generated) by the
mere setting of the machinery, to run with,
out fuel or oil, stoker or engineman; with
power station at each lock, "a times over
may the water be used without consuming a
pound OF 1t and without diverting gallon
from its onward coarse"
He answers one fthe first objections likely
to be urged, distance over which the current
would have to be transmitted, by the follow
ing statement:-"Les Angeles, California, IS
supplied with $4,000 horse power for its
electric lighting and street Car motors from
the mountain rivers ninety miles away"
There is nothing utoplan about MIR. Hanes
scheme; it comes we'll within the range of
scientific practicability and If he Will devise

be attached to the politician. we will GER
tainly expect to find our hope in success

yicissitudes Not Yet Ended.

Since the death of the late Col. j. B, Kun
kle the history of the Catoctin Furnace prop.
erty has been that of constantly recurring
change of ownership. First came the Catoc-
tin Iron Company composed of Mr.. Kunkle's
heirs. Due to the Harper defalcations and
probably some bad management this COM
pany went to the wall and was succeeded by
the Catoctin Mountain Iron Company, prin-
cipaliy the creditors of the Catoctin Iron
Company. After few years of active busi'
ness this company went into receivers hands.
The receivers sold the property at private
sale TO Mr.. Sharpe and others OF Baltimore
City; these men organized the Blue Mountain
Iron and Steel Company and succeeded In
interesting Messrs Ellicott and Baird OF
Philadelphia. Under the direction OF these
gentlemen large sum of money has been
expended upon the property in remodelling
the furnace and developing the mines, GER
tanly in every way adding to the value Of
the plant and in the opinion of those best
competent to Judge, fully demonstrating the
real value of the property.
And now we find it advertised at pubic
sale under the mortgage originally gwen to
the receivers by Mr. Ernest Sharp, ct al. just
what this means we ale in no position to
state authoritatvely, but succeeding eyents
will have 10 demonstrate it before we believe
| we have seen or about to see the last of an
active industry at Catoctin: we are of the
opinion that there exist good business rea-
sons why those at present most interested
prefer to have the title passed by the mort
gagee receivers and that instead of this sale
foreshadowing the collapse of this great
industry that it means its final and firm
establishment.
We speak upon no information and our
wishes coincide with our views these facts
may render our opinions of little interest and
value, but we none the less hold decidedly to
| the views as herein expressed.
