Advices received at the local

sive Grading.
Local teamsters who make q
speciality of railroad grading have
recently been notified to be in
readiness to submit bids for the
moving of several thousand yards
of dirt, work to be commenced in
this city in short time by the
Chicago and North Western Co.
This new move undoubtedly fore
tells something, but just what that
something is, is rather difficult
matter to determine. j w Wag-
goner, of this city, who has had
charge of several extensive grad
ing contracts for the @ & NV Co,
this morning stated that his infor-
nation regarding the matter was
to the effect that the contract will
be let for moving between ten and
twelve thousand yards of dirt, all
to be graded to uniform level,
aud it is the general supposition
that the work soon to be COM
menced is for the purpose of pro-
viding more extensive facilities
in this city for the q & N w Co.

The invention of the mariners
compass by Flavio Gioja is to be
celebrated this summer at Amalfi,
Italy. Giojo came from Positano
IN the hills back of Amalti. There
have not been wanting those who
contend that the invention, liko
most others, was gradual, and that
the tendency of the magnetized
needle to point north was known
long before Gioja's time, it even
having been familiar to the Chi
nese.

Crop Bulletin tor Week End
ing Aug. s, 1901.
Dies MONIES, Iowa.-The week
ending Aug. 5.h averaged from
l Q to Sc daily above normal,
though as compared with the pre-
ceding week there was q fall of
about l2o in the daily mean
temperature. The cooler weather,
increased humidity, and the copi-
GUS rains of July 9th and 28th
broke the drouth etfActually ex-
cept in quite limited areas where
the rainfall was very light.
The reports generally indicate
fair improvement in the condition
and prospects Of the corn crop,
though in a considerable portion
of the early planted area it is
damaged beyond recovery except
for fodder. Much of the late
planted corn is caring, with
healthy show of tassels, and the
yield of sound ears will depend
upon favorable weather for the
balance of the season without
frosts to the end of September.
With normal conditions it may
yet bring forth more merchant
able grain than has been estimat.
ed, and If the fodder is all saved
the value of the entire crop will
fall but little, if any, below the
amount realized from the grain
alone in some recent seasons. AT
this stage of growth and condi-
tion no one can make an estimate
of the output of merchantable
corn, for the whole state, that is
worthy of much consideration.
There is very wide divergence
in the guesses, even of the experts,
and much depends upon the point
| of view.
Threshing returns are generally
quite encouraging. Some i'm
provement has been noted in pas.
lures and immature field crops.
More rain is needed.

A Sensible Argument from
HAMPTON. Iowa.

"a 00u6lOl0 Argument from
Hampton, Iowa.
One of the express companies
received forty consignments of
beer last Sunday, and the amount
that came in by freight and the
other express company we are un-
able to learn. And this is not an
exceptional occurrence. During
the summer months great quanti-
ties of the amber fluid are shipped
here from week to week and the
amount of money paid for it in q
season assumes large proportions,
not cent of which remains in
Hampton. Licensed places for
its sale as we'll as that of the other
alcoholic beverages would mean
the direct opposite. It would
bring into the city treasury in a
few years sufficient money to pay
for the paving of our streets, q
sewerage system and the street
lighting expenses, and then some.
The stuff ls being sold here just
the same, why not license and tax
it to the full limit and get some-
thing of great advantage out Of it
the moral and physical effects
would be on par only with the
present. Hampton Globe.

Not the Train Robber.

= M Daniels, arrested Monday
in Omaha by Sheriff Shelton of
Logan, was taken to that city last
evening, where he is wanted on
the charge of assisting in an at
tempted train robbery on the r,
d & M v railroad between Mis-
souri, Valley and California juno
ton. The crime was committed
over month ago. Special Agent
Fred M Hans of the Elkhorn road,
discovered a man throwing boxes
of merchandise from moving
train and arrested the robber and
his associate. The man arrested
and retained proved to be Dick
Latta of Omaha. The accessory
managed to escape from Detective
Hans, and unless Daniels proves
to be the man, is still at liberty.
Hans made trip to Council
Bluffs yesterday afternoon to
identify Daniels as the escaped
robber, and after looking him
over declared positively that he
was not the man. Nevertheless
Latta has made a deposition wher-
in he names Daniels az an ac-
complice, and nothing remained
for Sheriff Shelton to do but to
remove the prisoner from the city
Jail here and take him to Logan.
Daniels is watchman employed
by the G, st P, M & o railroad in
Omaha.
The train robbery was of a kind
seldom attempted in Iowa and
Detective Hans received great
credit at the time for nipping the
job in its incipency.- -Nonpareil.

UNNA DEFINES A CAUSE

European Skin Specialists says
Dandruf is Caused by Par
asites.
Upon that theory, proved be-.
yond doubt, cure for dandruf
was soughtafter. Scientists, chem
lists, druggists and physicians all
"took a hand' and the successful
issue is the present product known
as "Newbro's Herpicide."
This remedy actually kills the
parasites that infests the hair bulb,
does its work mos5 effective and
contains not an atom of substance
injurious to any thing else than
the germ alone. Herpicide causes
the hair to grow as nature intend
ed it should, soft and abundant.
