IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Sept, II,


The past week was cooler than
usual, with numerous showers and
abundant moisture In all portions Of
the state, effectually breaking the
protracted drouth The heaviest
amounts are reported in the north
west and west central districts, but
all districts received sufficient rain
fall to revive pastures, benefit late
potatoes, and put the soil In good
condition for blowing and fall seed
ing. Corn harvesting operations
have been retarded by showery
weather, but the work is being push
cd rapidly as possible in ell sections,
and very large amount of forage OF
tie best quality will be- secured in the
corn fields. The bulk of the crop is
now beyond danger ofinjury by frost,
and practically all of 1t will be we'll
matured with q few more days of
warm dry weather. The crop as a
whole Is likely to exceed any official
estimate yet put forth for this state.
The pastures are much benefited,
and the potato crop will probably re-
ceive some help from the rainfall.

ASTHMA CAN BE CURED.
A Noted Physician Will prove this 20
sufferers In Oskaloosa Thursday.
Nor II. GlrL
September nth,

The astonishing statement that
Asthma can be cured, coming from
so well known authority as DR.. Ru-
dolph Schiffmann, win be of interest to
asthma sufferers. The experience of
most Asthmatics has been that little
if any relief has been afforded them
by the methods heretofore employed,
and, in fact, the disease has up to
now been regarded as incurable.
This noted physician has, however,
after Iife-long study of Asthma and
kindred diseases, discovered remedy
which not only Instantly relieves the
severest cases of Asthma, Hay Fever
and Bronchitis, but has actually
cured thousands whose cases had
been pronounced incuraple. So com
plete is DR.. Schiffmann's confidence
in his remedy that he requests this
paper to announce that all day Thurs
day, Sept. 10th, he offers a liberal
sample box of "Schiffmann's Asthma
Cure" free of charge to all persons
applying at the Bertsch, Roal Drug
Co.
DR.. Schiffmann believes that an
actual test will be the most convin-
cling, and in fact the only way to
overcome the natural prejudice of
thousands of Asthmstics who have
heretofore sought relief in vain. Per-
sons living out of town will receive a
package free by writing direct to DR..
R. Schiffmann, $40 Jackson Street,
st. Paul, Mimi, before Sept. 2lst,
and enclosing a &c stamp.

CABINET MEETS.
President Roosevelt Asks Members
to- Retain Their Positions
Throughout His Term.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-President
Roosevelt at three o'clock Tuesday
convened his first cabinet meeting
held in Washington. At this meet
ing the president asked the mem
bers of Mr.. McKinley's cabinet to re-
tain their respective portfolios
throughout his term and announced
that his administration would follow
the policy outlined by President Nc
Kinley in his Buffalo speech. After
the obsequies over the late presi-
dent, the cabinet, at President Roose-
velt's request, assembled at the resi-
dence of Commander Cowles, where
the president is staying until after
the funeral, principally for the pur-
pose of informing their new chief
of the state of affairs in their re-
spective departments. The pTesl-
dent desired to learn if there were
anv matters of moment requiring his
attention before his departure for
Canton. He was assured that there
was nothing of pressing Importance.
The president then addressed ms
advisers collectively, as he had pre-
yiously done individually, requesting
them all to retain their respective
positions in his cabinet. Mr.. Roose-
Welt expressed the hope and eNpecta-
lion that every member would serve
throughout his term, for, he said, he
rendered the appointments as II ne
had lust been elected to the presl-
dency and was forming an original
cabinet. The president said, how
ever there was one difference be-
tween the present tender and that OF
an original offer, namely, under the
,resent circumstances they were not
az liberty to decline. Upon being
asLed by a member if designations
should be formally presented in the
psual manner, the president answered
that his action at this meeting mad
nrecInded the necessity of presenting
designations. A.,
Tbe discussion turned upon the
nolicv Of the administration, and Mt

THEY LIKE MR.. HUNT.
Superintendent Milo Hunt Enters up
ON lIis EIdOTR Work.

Milo Hunt formerly of the public
schools of this city where he achieved
success and merited popularity in
educational work has opened the fall
term of the Eldora schools in an
auspicious manner that meets with
the commentator of both the town
people and the school patrons.
The Eldora Herald in speaking of
the opening of the schools in that
place has these good things to say OF
Mr. Hunt. His many friends in this
city will be pleased to learn of his
success in that place:
1.-THE fall term of the Eldora public
schools opened Monday morning last
and the several rooms are now thor
oughly organized for efficient work
under the new management. Supt.
Hunt has seemed TO take in the needs
OF the schools at a glance, and al
though he does not propose making
any radical changes in any direction
at once, he hopes to see that every
grade and every department of the
work is placed on thoroughly
practical basis. He has made an
excellent impression with the
teachers and with the patrons of the
schools so far as the latter have met
him. He impresses one with the idea
at once that he Is an up-to-date educat
or who understands the essential
prerequisites of good school, and
as soon as he shall have had time to
put into operation his methods, 1t Ia
reasona able to believe he will, with
the assistance of his able and COM
petent corps of teachers, give us az
good schools as we have ever had
