Crops About Harvested.

Special to Times Republican.
Humboldt. Sept. 20.-The greater part
of Humboldt county crops are harvested
row, with the exception of corn and po-
tatoes. Six weeks ago 1t was thought
by many farmers that the corn crop
would be complete failure, but now the
prospect is for large yield beyond all
former expectations. The corn now is
practically out OF danger from frosts.
The cold weather is here now the coolest
temperature as yet, being 80.
Much rain has fallen this month. The
total fall SO far is five and one-fourth
inches and about 60 per cent of this has
fallen the past week. This rain will do
great good, for had the soil been dry
during the winter the result upon the
trees would have been destructive.
The potato yield will be light. but good
under the circumstances. The pastures
have picked up wonderfully since the
rains. thus postponing the necessity of
feeding hay.
Senator Hoar Speaks.
Worcester, Mass, Sept. 20.-Exsrcises
were held in Mechanics Hall yesterday
in honor of President Mckinley. Long
before the hour set the house was
packed and thousands could not gain
admittance. Mayor O'Connell, Senator
Hoar, Mgr, Conaty. president Of the
Catholic University at Washington;
President Hall Of Clark's University and
Congressman Thayer were the speakers.
Senator Hoar said in part:
I'VE shall, hope, in due time, sober
~, when the tempest OF grief has passed
by, find means for additional security
aaginst the repetition of crime like
this. We shall go as far as we can with
out sacrificing personal liberty TO re-
press the doctrine which is effect is
nothing but counseling murder.
I'VE shall also. hope, learn to mod
crate the bitterness of political strife
and to avoid the savage attack on the
motive and character of men who are
charged by the people with public re-
sponslbilities in high places. This fault,
while think 1t is already disappearing
from ordinary political and sectional
controversy. seems to linger still among
our scholars and men of letters.
The moral is, not that we should
abate our zeal for justice and right
eousness of our condemnation of wrong,
but only that we should abate the Sc
verify of our Judgment Of the natives of
men with whom we Differ"

ton Is again being paid 10 the inven-
ton Of system by means Of which
sunken ships can successfully be
raised. Among the latest proposals
10 this effect is an invention Of Ger
man engineer, which has been patent
cd. The inventor employs two cylin-
drical caissons OF such immense size
as will enable him TO raise the longest
ships. AS shown In one cut, the cais-
sons are sunk 10 the bottom Of the sea
on each side Of the vessel. The inner
parts OF the caissons are equipped
with strong hydraulic machines. The
latter draw heavy chains attached TO
both caissons tight; the chains run
over a pulley fixed In the caissons. In
order 10 prevent the caissons from
moving out Of their original place they
are provided with heavy arms an
chored 10 the ground. AS soon as the
caissons have been placed in the re-
quired position the chains are drawn
tight and thus slip below the bottom

aeroplane can move with celerity, II
can hover over the submarine until
the latter is compelled to come to the

Then II can drop dynamite bombs upon

The submarine. however, will not be

Is the Nomination Legal?

1t is said that the republicans CT AL
lamakee county are considering the ad-
visibility of contesting the democratic
nomination for representative in that
district. The contest If made, will be
on the grounds of an alleged irregulari-
ty in filing. The democratic county
convention in Allamakee was held
October 5, the last day for filing nomi-
Allamakee county to Des Moines it
was manifestly impossible to hold the
convention and file the nomination
either by letter or special messenger the
same day. The republicans of the
county thought little of the matter at
the time, but when the nomination pa
per was filed they began to wonder how
it could have been accomplished.
From the best information that can be
obtained the chairman and secretary
Of the convention filled out the blanks
certifying to the nomination before the
convention was held. These were
mailed to Des Moines. The day of the
convention the pane of the nominee
was telegraphed there and inserted.
The nomination papers were then filed.
1t is not certain that contest Will
be attempted, but there has been some
talk of it. 1t would depend on the
question of the technical legality of
filing in this manner j. C. Crawford,
of Waukon, is the republican nominee
for representative, and Robert Huf-
schmidt, of Lansing, is the democratic
nominee.
