that the snowstorm which has been
raging for 40 hours and is still rag

telephone and telegraph wires, cleo

graph, has been had with Pittsburgh.
In the mountains east Of here snow
has been falling since two a. m.

snow has melted a great deal and yet
lies three feet deep. The trees ore
covered with the wet snow, which
froze as it fell, and the limbs Of

from the mass of snow piled on them.
The streams are all high, and when

is confident that no opportunity will
be given her to take the offensive
without placing herself in the wrong.

the very general prostration of the
telegraph wires, news concerning the
effects of Wednesdays storm in near

to hand shows the storm to have been
destructive in the extreme. Butler,

same story of the heaviest snow and
rainfall in years, great destruction
caused by falling telegraph and tele-
phone poles, the crushing in Of house

ported but no fatalities.

hardest kind of work to put telephone,
fire alarm and electric light wires in
their former condition.

A to Manchurla.

AS to Manchuria, it is stated that
Russia's course never has varied in
the determination to leave that prov
ince as an integral part of China, and
to retire the Russian troops as rap
idly as safety will permit. But, as q
more signal evidence Of Russia's pur-
poses, and as an evidence of the en-
peror's devotion to the principle of
peace, assurances of definite and
satisfactory character are now given
as to the execution of these purposes.
The belief is held in onicial quarters
that the assurances of Russia are so
sweeping as completely to avert the
threatened crisis in Manchuria.

SIGNS OF HOLIDAY TRADE.

Saturdays trade reviews issued ny II.
c. Dun & Co. and Bradstreet venture
the Sorediction from signs at the mer-
chandising centers that the holiday
trade this year will surpass all records.
This prediction will be realized TO its
ties of Iowa, those counties comprising
the north half of the state where the
crops have been less meager than any
where else in the country. With corn
at 60 cents in Chicago, oats at Al, hogs
at cents per pound, and cattle at I, the
farmers who have corn, oats, hogs and
cattle to sell are making enormous prot
| its from their seasons work. OF course
these prices signify short crops and the
government reports tell us of light
yields in many localities. but in the
northern half of Iowa the crops have
been good, not large, but good. 1t Is
peculiarly a stock raising country and
the farmers nearly all have something
to sell at these inflated prices. They
will make much more money this fall
than they ever did in the years oil

when the farmers have money the
entire business community prospers.
Business in Iowa is founded upon agri-
culture There is much business in the
state that is not farming, but it is the
farming class that starts every wave OF
prosperity that sweeps over the state.
AT present farm lands in Iowa are
bringing the highest price ever recorded
in the history of the state, so high IN
fact that one should hesitate to BUY on
small payments. But 1t all indicates
agricultural prosperity. which means
mercantile prosperity, and from that TO
manufacturing prosperity, and when
factories are rushed with orders the day
laborer prospers. They all combine IN
times Of plenitude to buy OF the stores

a SOUTHERN EXPOSITION.

Our nation is so large that one part
of it hardly knows what is going on in
another remote section. For instance,
few Iowans are aware that great ex-
position is being prepared for visitors
in Charleston, South Carolina, one of
the beautiful Atlantic coast cities of
historic interest. Exhibitors and con-
cessionaries are now arriving in
Charleston in large numbers. and with
in a few days last week a hundred
car loads OF exhibits were received.
The New York commission is present
to inspect the New York state building

architect of the Philadelphia building
is there also, to receive the building
from the contractor. 1t is ready for
the liberty bell. which 1t will shelter
during the exposition. The bell will be
one of the great attractions.
Last week more than two thousand
men were employed on the exposition
grounds, and the midway city was go
ing up like magic. The housing COM

change has taken place in the cultiva-
ton of the state farms, however, and as
. rule they are today among the best IN

resulting in the production, as rule, OF
excellent crops. There have been har-
vested this season over $4,000 bushels Of
POTATOES at the state institutions. and
had it not been for the extreme drouth
the yield would not have been less than
40. 900 bushels, sufficient to supply all the,
wants of the inmates.
Live stock of all kinds is in healthfu

The board says the state should hav's
double the number of cows that 1t has a
present, and as it requires at least two
acres of good grass land to properly pas.
ture a COW during the season, and as hay
and fodder must be provided for winter.
it is apparent that the farm land in con.
nection with our state institutions is Ell
tirely inadequate to the wants Of the
wards of the state in furnishing them at
all times an adequate supply of milk.
There is set forth in the report letters
from each of the superintendent of the
institutions touching on the necessity
for more land, all agreeing that it isab-
solutely necessary. 1t is urged that the
amount asked for for land in the chap
ter on Appropriations" he granted, and
that If the finances of the state will war
rant additional amounts he appropriated
as will secure for the respective institu-
tions all the land desired. This is good
policy.

week and made each week during the
season, so that the board has been kept
