OLD TINE IOWA PRESS.

In history of the newspapers of
the United States compiled by Ralph
M. Mckenzie of the congressional
library, under the head of Iowa"
the author gives history of the old
press upon which was printed the
first newspapers ever published in
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and the
Dakotas. He says the first news
paper published in Iowa was the
Visitor, which was established at
Dubuque by John King on May IL,
1886. Its name was changed to the
Iowa News, but it was moved to
Lancaster, Wis, in 1912, and there
because the Grant County Herald,
the first paper published in that state.
In 1S49 the press and material were
moved again, and this time were
hauled to st. Paul by an OK team,
and used there by John Goodhue in
getting out the first issue of the Grst
newspaper in Minnesota, the st. Paul
Pioneer. In 1858 the old press was
loaded into wagon again and haul
ed across the country to Sioux Falls
where it was used in printing the
Dakotah Democrat, the first paper OF
the Dakotas. At the time of the
Dakotas. At the time of the uprising
OF the Indians in 1852 the old press
was burned.

HALF OF CORN CROP LOST


According to the government crop
report issued on Saturday, from $780,
100000 to $50, 900, 900 bushels of corn
we're wiped out by the drought and
heat in July. The general average
of 54 shows a decline of 1913 points
during July and is the lowest August
condition in the history of the coun.
try, 15.1 points lower than the Aug
ust condition in 1894, the year of the
last great crop failure. The esti-
mated yield for this year is / 1896, ,977,-
600 as compared with 2,105, ,102 900 in
1900.
The state condition figures are
given for only seven of the states,
those normally producing a large
surplus for sale. The report gives
no figures on the acreage abandoned
and for that reason estimates of the
total yield are not entirely reliable.
The report indicates that Kansas and
Nebraska each lost over half the
SAOP III ouiy lhO dOOAAhOc III OOhul-
tion being SO per cent and 81 per
cent respectively, leaving Kansas
with 10 and Nebraska with a condi-
ton of SO.
Illinois, which has suffered more
since Aug. than the states west of
the Mississippi, is credited with a
condition of 81 on that date, loss of
SO points in July, Iowa fell from 81
to 81, Missouri from 20 to 20, Indiana
from 81 to 81 and Ohio from rs to 70.
AS a consequence, prices in Chi
cago jumped up Monday, and will
likely continue to vary until it is as
certained how much old corn is in
the country and how much the pres
ent crops may recuperate this month.
In any event corn will command a
high price all next year. Other GER
eals also show big loss by the tor
rid weather.

LAID TO REST.
Funeral of M. III, HOstetter Largely
Attended by Lodge and Rriends1

The body of Harry Hostetter was
laid away in Forest cemetery Monday
afternoon at 8 O'Clock. The funeral
services were held at the residence
and host of relatives and friends
were present to witness the last sad
rites. The Sir Knights and the Blue
Lodge Masons were present in uni
form and acted as escort to the eeme-
terry. The casket was opened like
couch and was completely covered
with wreaths and flowers. Mr.. Hos.
letter looked quite natural and his
face wore peaceful, contented ex-
preston like one who is not afraid of
death but who "wraps the mantle of
his couch about him and he lies down
to pleasant dreams" The service
was lead by Rev. A. O. Kaye of the
Congregational church and was very
short and simple, according to the
wishes of Mrs. Hostetter. The Knights
led the funeral procession followed
by tie other Masons and long line
OF carriages and buggies brought up
the rear. Alight fencing surrounded
the grave which was lined with
flowers and the earth was covered
with sprays and bushes. The SER
vices at the cemetery we're under the
auspices of the Masons and the body
was laid to rest with the last words
of the Masonic ritual.

The Des Moines Leader publishes
wholly unnecessary falsehood in
its pages of the 9th.
1t says that Congressman Lacey
went to the Poweshiek county dele
cation and asked them to support
him for governor.
Every member of that delegation
knows that this is not true and the
Leader could easily have ascertained
the truth by enquiry. These fake
statements did too much duty before
the convention. The nominating
campaign is now over. Major Lacey's
name was spoken of by many dele
gates in connection with the NOM
ination, but not with his authority,
and he promptly advised his friends
that he would not permit his name
to be used in that connection, and
his wishes were respected in the
matter. The statement made in the
Leader is the exact reverse of the

fession and we commend him to the
people of osksloosa and wish him

A NIGHT OUT,

Have you ever had occasion to stay
out all night? If not the experience
will pay you the sacrifice of sleep.
Even city no larger than Oskaloosa
presents a different world by night
than that seen by sunlight. You will
not be 30 lonesome as you might sup
pose. You will find the policeman on
duty, the hotel clerks and restaurant
caterers will keep you company. The
night shift on the railroads is larger
than you imagine, and you will be
surprised at the amount of work that
is done between suns. The patient
hello" at the telephone office will
answer your call and the men at the
electric light plant never sleep. But
these are not the startling things.
The thing that will impress you most
is the other people you will see out,
after the midnight light circuit has
been cut off, and all the lodges have
been closed. where have they
been?"-well you must ask them,-
we don't know and besides we never
tell tales out of school. But it is not
fair to ojudge people by the hours they
keep any more than by the clothes
they wear. Though persistant sus-
picion may battle for supremacy you
will find many of the night hawks
engaged in honest missions. Among
ten thousand people there are always
much real sickness and suffering,
many urgent affairs that must be at
tended to at all hours. Many people
come and go on night trains, and the
long weary caravan of commerce
never stops.
Such is the human and sad side Of
the picture. But let us turn from
man to nature. Therein is the charm
that compensates for your lost slum
ber. The heavens which are always
majestic and awe inspiring are won
derfully SO in the long hours after
midnight when comparative quie
The Oskaloosa herald., 1901-08-15

reigns. 1t is then the stars are the
most brilliant, and the consultations
stand out in boldest relief. The fear
of harm that comes to you in the
early part of the night distills itself
into the darkness, and the heavens,
like the protecting arms of mother,
send down their mute draperies, to
hold you in silent tenderness. AS the
deaf person hears the song by follow
ing the motion of the lips so you may
drink in the rapturous melody of the
universe by watching the twinkling
of the stars.
1t is then too that you inadvertent-
ly open the door of your closet, and
see your past hanging before you.
The pains, the mistakes, the disap-
pointments occupy prominent pegs,
and with grinding precision echo
the stinging thoughts of your mind.
In detection you are almost constrain-
ed to forget your supernal reverie,
when suddenly dropping your head
you hear the great heart throbs of
nature beating against the chords of
the morning like the zephyrs play on
the strings of the eolian. The first
pale rays of light announce the rising
sun and hope comes back to the weary
heart. Though sleep has not been
yours the body has absorbed the
magnetism of your surroundings, and
refreshed with the bewildering vigil
you go back to your routine, and to
fill your little rut in the big world.

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
DIES MoINEs. IowA. Aug. Z.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Aug. IL.
The temperature Of the past week
was about normal, with increased
humidity of the air, and fairly well
distributed showers that came in a
manner to be very beneficial to all
growing crops. Drouthy conditions
of some severity still prevail in a
number of counties in the southeast
ern and east central districts, but in
the larger part of the state the supply
of moisture has been ample to cause
considerable improvements in pastures
late corn, potatoes and gardens. Re-
ports indicate that late corn has
cared sufficiently to give promise of
better yield than has been antici-
pated, if September is normally fair
and frostless. The early planted
portion of the crop is greatly dam
aged and the ears generally show de-
tective fertilization. The crop as a
whole will be very valuable in quality
of the fodder and grain that natures,
and much more than the usual acre
age will be harvested with binders.
Following are the estimates of crop
reports as to average condition of
crops: Corn So per cent; spring
wheat "a; oats 70; barley 80; fax "a;
millet 50; potatoes "a; pastures As;
apples 80; grapes 20.
The threshing returns thus far re-
ceived indicate that the oats crop is
generally better than the estimates
made August 1st.

NO STEEL.
Great Strike May Retard Completion
of MahaskR's New Jail.

The great steel strike of the East
is making itself felt in the city of Os-
kaloosa. The contractors for the
steel work are claiming that they are
unable to get steel for the completion
OF the steel cells and corridors of the
Jail part of the building and it is not
possible for them to tell how long it
will be before the work can be finish
ed. Certainly not before they are
enabled to get material with which to
work. There is said to be no steel of
the sort necessary for the construc-
tion of the cells on the market at this
time on account of the strike and
there will be none until considerable
time after the strike is at an end.
The carpenters have gone to work
ON the interior of the residence por-
ton of the jail and are finishing now
in the second story. All the work
that can be completed will be done
upon contract time, but it is probable
that the steel cells will be consider
ably delayed.
