A HOT ~ GAME.
Fairfield Props Beat the ottumwa or.
phans at Former Place,

Fairfield, June 4.-(special) The
Ottumwa Orphans, the second team of
the Ottumwa high school came in on
Burlington No. 10 yesterday to play
a game of baseball with the prepare
tory team of Parsons college. The
game was played on Athletic field and
was witnessed by a good attendance.
The Props won the Flip up and took
their outs. In the first inning Ottum-
was able to make one score, while the
Props scored twice. Both teams were
BANKED in the second, but in the third
the home team went UP in the air and
before them came to themselves the
visitors had run around the bases for
six scores making the score z to 2 in
their favor. At the beginning Of the
sixth inning the score was a tie. In
this inning the visitors drew blank,
but the home team had a merry-go.

AN EXAMPLE OF FREE LOVE.

Richard lie Gallienne, the alleged
poet, and Prof. Heron, are very close
together on the social and especially
on the marriage question. To this
man, Richard lie Caffeine, the profess
sor discoursed about love and its rela-
ton to the marriage ceremony and I'M
burdened himself as follows:
I'VE can not promise to feel-for-
ever" said the socialistic professor. Il
understand" chimed in the poet, you
mean that you might as well promise
to live forever as to promise to love
| forever"
Certainly" said the professor.
| This is about as explicit a declara-
ton in favor of free love as could be
made by verbose professor. The
conclusion is irresistible that he does
not pledge himself to love and cherish
the late Miss Rand, forever, but there
may come a time when he will grow
weary of her and she will be discarded
as his first wife was discarded, but
perhaps with less of largess as it is
scarcely possible that the professor
will be able to maintain himself in the
column of long procession of wives
who are as wealthy as the one he has
just acquired.

WANTED, A REMEDY.

That good, doctor editor, A. W. Lee
of the Ottumwa Courier, says that ev.
cry newspaper in the country should
print the newly discovered remedy for
mosquito bites. There are some per.
sons peculiarly sensitive to the sting
of mosquito and to these the discov.
cry will come with great favor. 'The
remedy is napthaline, applied on the
wound. 1t is inexpensive and is said
to allay the pain and itching almost

SPARK OF LIFE GOES OUT.
Woman Dies Who Had Been Uncon-
scious for Months.

Wabash, Ind, June 5.--After six
months Of suspended animation Mrs.
Isaac Beitman is dead. December IL
last she lost consciousness and spe-
cialists were called in vain. She was
unable to partake of nourishment and
liquid food was regularly forced into
her stomach. She lay with eyes open,
gazing blankly before her, moving
neither hands nor feet. Her pulse was
fair, her breathing easy and her TEN
perature normal. An autopsy yester-
day showed all the internal organs in
good condition, but there was an abb
scess on the brain.

OF GREAT BENEFIT
The Recent Rain Raised Hopes of
the Farmers.
TOO LATE FOR SMALL GRAIN
Will Save the Corn Crop However,
Fruits Are Dried Up-Strawberry
Crop Failure-Hay Crop Will Be
Very Short.
From Wednesdays Daily

| From Wednesdays Daily.l
The farmers of Wapello county wear
a pleasant smile today. This happy
condition is brought about by the
bountiful supply of rain which fell dur
ing the night. 1t has come too late,
however, to help bring out many Of
the smaller fruits and grain, but the
benefit it has done to the growing
corn crop is incalculable. 1t Is feared
that the oats and hay crop is too far
gone to be saved. This is the condi-
ton Of the strawberry crop. Up
to three weeks ago, Wapello county
has the most brilliant prospects for
heavy crop of this lucious fruit that it
has probably ever known. The dry
weather has killed all hopes of any,
thing like a crop now, however, and
the home grown supply is practically
cleared up. What berries did ripen
were little dried up affairs that did
not begin to compare with what might
have been expected. The same con-
dition may be said to exist in regard to
hay and oats. At planting time pros
poets were excellent for good year.
By the time the oat crop was planted,
however, the dry weather had begun,
and ever since it has been the same
story. Now, experienced farmers say,
it is too late to do any good. The hay
crop is irreparably damaged. : With
plenty of rain from now on possibly a
half crop might be expected, but it is
not thought better yield than this
can be expected. Wheat is damaged,
but not so badly. An extensive yield
of wheat In this county, however, is
never expected in fact but small
per cent is ever planted.
The condition of the corn crop in
terests the farmer more than anything
just now. Last nights rain will dc
that crop much more good than is gen
orally believed at first sight. The
crop is just far enough advanced to be
fatally injured unless more rain is had
soon. At this time the crop is safe
for another week or two, and if rain
is plentiful from now on, Wapellc
county will probably see a record
breaking yield of corn.
One noticeable condition throughout
the country, which has been caused
by the lack of rain, is the condition o.
the country roads. Never in the his
| tory of the Oldest settler have, the,
been so bad as this year. Not enough
rain has fallen to pack the roads ant
now they are rough and so full of rut!
that it is nearly impossible to pull ;
heavy load.

CAN BE RAISED.
sunken Steamer Dubuque May Vet Be
Saved.

Davenport, June 5.--The divers who
examined the hull of the Dubuque have
announced that though the rent in the
port or left side of the bottom of the
sunken steamer is great, 1t. will be pos
sible to raise her Thomas Baker, the
diver upon whose opinion the decision
of the company to raise the steamer
was made, says that the rent is 142
feet long, and is fully six feet wide.
The damage Is, therefore, even greater
than it at first it was supposed to be.
1t is small wonder that the steamer
went to the bottom as soon as it did
In half a minute the steamer was at
the bottom of the river. It is said that
the big ten-inch planks of the hull
were snapped like straws and the iron
strips of the hull are rolled up like
hoops.

The death of Hiram Price, at Wash
ington, at the age of 81 years removes
a prominent character from Iowa. He
made his own way to fame and for
tune without any of the advantages
that usually came to those who sue
coed in forcing their way onward and
upward. When the civil war came he
was enabled to guarantee clothing and
subsistence for 5000 Iowa troops and
carried that amount until the state
was able to assume the load on it's
own account. He was elected to con-
gress from the Davenport district and
served as long as he was willing to as
sumo the responsibility. He finally
made his residence in the city OF
Washington but was buried at his own
request on Iowa SOIL

The American Economist for May

that will make deep impression on
every thinker:
Less than ten years ago we were

Dingley tariff has reversed the situa.
ton. We face today not England or
France or Germany, but united Eu.

WEATHER AND GRAIN.
Crop Bulletin for Week Ending June
8. 1901.

The daily average temperature of
the past week was about normal in
the western half of the state, and from
1 to degrees below normal in the
eastern half. The nights were unus-
ually cool for the time of the year in
all sections; and the days generally
clear with a prevalence of cool, east
erly winds. There were few very
light and widely scattered showers,
but much the larger portion of the
state received no rainfall during the
week.
All reports indicate some adverse
effects of continued cool and dry wea-
Their. Late planted corn needs rain
and greater warmth to quicken germi-
nation, and early planted corn needs
warmer weather to stimulate growth
and give it better color The dry
weather has been favorable for Guilt
walton; and the early planted fields
| are generally clean and in good tilth
In the southern districts considerable
replanting has been necessitated on
account of damage by worms, which
have been very destructive in the ex-
IRENE southeastern counties. The
oats crop has been more seriously
checked in growth by the drouth than
any other cereal, but spring wheat and
barley are greatly in need of moisture.
Pastures and meadows are also show
| ing some Ill effects of continued dry
weather SO closely following the satur-
ated condition in early spring. Copious
showers, followed by seasona.ble
warmth would greatly brighten the
crop outlook. Gardens and small
fruit also need more moisture.

The Lewis and Clark expedition in
1904, was as remarkable and as ven
turesome as that of Stanley on the
Congo and to the fountains of the Nile.
The first man to yield his life on that
expedition was Sergeant Floyd, who
died near Sioux City on August 4,
1904, and was buried there. There
has been beautiful shaft erected to
his memory within the past two years.
1t could not have possibly occurred to
young Floyd when he was dying that
he was then winning immortal fame.

The Des Moines Register of May
80 makes the strong point that the
Iowa comrades are making the last
grand rounds" this year for the cleo
ton of soldier governor. The Reg
lister also calls attention to the strik-

resented in the National Senate by a
civil war soldier. The point made by
the Register that this is the last op-
portunity to elect a soldier governor
is evidently true; it is now or never!

ed. Much of the vacant public land
in the county is timbered but the
timber is valuable and when the land
is cleared it makes the best orchard
and fruit land to be had. The un-
paralleled progress made in this field
can be appreciated when it is pointed
out that IL years ago there was less
than zvvU acres of land under cultiva-
ton in the county.
The assessed valuation of the
county for the year was $4,962 ,2S9,
with an Indebtedness of only SILL

The amount of delinquent taxes for
the year was less than three per cent.
the smallest of any county in the
state. The amount Of fees and licenses
collected in the county for the year
was $35.719.5O. This is a good index
of the volume of business transacted.
The production of grain for the year
amounted to a little over one million
bushels, about one-third of which
was wheat. the balance being mostly
oats. with considerable barley and
some rye and other grains.
While most of the wheat grown is
hard spring wheat, considerable fall

Flathead river and on the Great
of majestic pines the city enjoys the
distinction OF occupying the most
beautiful site for city in the state.
Leaving Columbia Falls and going to
the south after crossing the Flathead
river on substantial bridge, the Wis
itor will traverse one of the most
fertile and prosperous sections of the
valley. The roads everywhere run
through we'll fenced lanes and on
every side extend for miles well i'm
proved farms under high state OF
cultivation Hardly turning to right
or left the visitor may drive through
fertile farms for distance of IS
miles to Flathead lake, leaving Kali
ispell to the west some 10 or II miles.
At tnls the northern end OF the lake
some of the finest orchards of the
west are to be found, while extend
ing along the eastern shore of the
lake for another rs miles the road
runs through many promising young
orchards. The development of this
section has just begun and it is des-
tined to be one Of the richest spots in
the state. Turning to the west and
skirting the northern shore of the
lake the visitor will cross the Flat
head river by cable ferry at the town
of Holt, and continuing west will
cross the lower west side valley, a
domain of rich farms in itself. Along
the western shore of the lake is to be
found duplicates of the many young
orchards along the eastern shore.
But the visitor will probably be most
impressed by the magnitude of the
farming industry of the valley, and if
the visit be made in the summer
months the miles of waving green or
golden grain forms picture that will
not soon be forgotten.

kd|i5pe| Postal Business

The following statement of the
postofIice business for the year ending
October goth, 1901, will give a COM
prehensive idea of the magnitude of
the business for the above period.
The receipts of the Office are divided
int otwo separate accountable
money order and postal. The postal
account is made up from the sale of
postage stamps, stamped paper and
box receipts. The money order from
the sale and payment of money or
ders. The classification of an office
is based upon the postal receipts at
the end of each fiscal year ending
June Both. On June 30th of the pres
ent year the Kalispell Office passed
into second class with postal receipts
to its credit Of over $4,000, showing
a nincrease over the previous year Of
over $4,000.

in competition with the best brands
from Dakota and Minnesota and the
field Of its market is rapidly being
extended, large quantities being
shipped to the orient.
The variety of grains, grasses,
fruits, vegetables and other products
that can be successfully grown in the
county is almost unlimited, including
many of the tender varieties, such as
tomatoes, melons, peaches, grapes and
many others. Those visitors who
were fortunate enough to see the ex-
hibit of fruits, grains, grasses and
vegetables at the annual fair in Kali
ispell either in 1900 or 1901 were as
founded at the great variety of the
display and particularly at the great
size of the vegetables. Beets and tur-
nips weighing IS pounds each and
cabbage weighing so pounds each
were on exhibition.
The possibilities of farming in
Flathead county are almost beyond
estimation and it is today the most
inviting field for the homeseeker in
the world.
