Take Up Two Propositions.

Monday evening a meeting of citi-

and a proposition from Chas. Sails
bury to put on a street fair in the city
to These fairs have been held at
Fort Madison, 0ttumwa, Hannibal,
Mo-, Quincy, ILL.,, Keokuk, and other
points with more or less success, and
it was the decision of those present
that committee, consisting of John
H. Blakeslee, L. G. Bolton, F. L.
Morse and Q. V. Hoffman, investi-
gate the matter thoroughly either by
correspondence or visiting the cities
where these fairs have been held

Mr.. II. L. Laird, travelling passen-
ger agent of the Iowa Central, was
present at the meeting and suggested
that the city of Oskaloosa take day
off and go TO Clear Lake on picnic
via the Iowa Central. The road will
run a special train any day the citi-
zens will fix, no stops to be made be-
tween Oskaloosa and Clear Lake ex-
cept as may be necessary for the tax
ing of coal and water. The fare for
the round trip to be S1.5O. Similar
excursions or picnic parties have
gone from other points along the line
from time to time and they have been
highly successful. The idea was con-
sidered good one and the invitation
of the Central was accepted, and
committee of seven-Sam Baldauf, A.
P. Spencer,l Joe Beeson, Q. O. Pike,
John H. Blakeslee, w. I. Neagle and
l. W. Clendenon-was appointed to

ment that it will be made an annual

Several thousand delegates to the
Epworth League convention arrived
here Monday. 1t is calculated that
10000 delegates have already arrived
and that 10000 more are en- route.
On 40 special trains which left Salt
Lake City Sunday night and Monday
morning there are nearly 10000 dele
gates. At least 5000 are travelling by
way of Los Angeles, and perhaps
1000 by way of Portland. On the
Santa Fe route there are said to be
a thousand people jouDneying toward
this city. From these figures, which
the railroad officials and che local Ep-
worth Leaguers Say are authentic, it
is certain San Francisco win be called
upon to entertain $4,000 strangers
during the next week or ten days.

No Circus Yet,

A rumor is afloat in the city to the
effect that Ringing Brothers circus
comes to this city some time in
August. This is an error as no circus
has as yet made application for a
license to stop in the city this season.
The Gentry dog and pony show
seems to be the only tented attrac-
ton that will come our way this
seoson. If the larger tented in0titu-
tions have intentions on Oskaloosa
they have so far failed to give sign
or signal of their purpose. 1t seems
a little unfair that such small places
as Marshalltown and Ottumwa
should have a circus to the exclusion
of this city when our half dollar is as
good as theirs. a..

Another week OF in tense heat and

The maximum temperatures have
ranged from 100 to 1903, on four to
five days in.numerous localities, and
the general excess has been Z to s
degrees in the daily means, The air
has been excessively dry as. well as

ers, which brought temporary relief
in the dryest part of the state.
The hay crop has been saved
in the best condition. Harvest
ing has been quite general in
the prematurely ripened grain
fields, with variable results as to
qualify OF the crop; but generally the
small grain crops will be below stand
ard weight and less than average
yield. Potatoes, pastures, and gar
den truck of all kinds have suffered
greatest damage
Reports as to the corn crop indicate
that it has suffered some injury with
in quite limited areas, and on light,
sandy or hard-pan soils; but the bulk
of the crop, in at least four-fitths of
the state, is stoutly holding its own
with promise of fair output. But
the result is contingent upon Eeliet
in the near future! J ..

NO RELIEF.
TorrId Wave Continues with Una
bated Fury. r..

The temperature of the torrid zone
is still with us and there seems to be
no sign of relief from any source.
The mercury went above the hundred
mark again Monday and has made
the same record again to-day.
Mahaska county farmers are tel
ling of damage from the hot winds
and the continued drouth. Corn has
commenced to tassel out when the
growth has been but half reached.
There are many fields that show a
whitened condition that designates
the complete ruin of the plant.
Pastures are failing rapidly and many
farmers have commenced feeding
roughness. The water supply in many
places is getting very low and the
question of water for stock is becom-
ing a very serious one with some of
the farmers. .t.r
Skunk river is falling very rapidly
and is now very low. There is COM
paratively no water going over the
dams at the present time. Almost all
of the creeks and smaller streams
have dried up completely and this
supply of water is cut off completely.
Doctors everywhere recommend
