They Show . Poor Outlook for Good
Yield.
Des Moines, Aug. THE grain men
OF the city are busy collecting samples
Of ears Of corn from fields in this vicin-
ity and express themselves as convinced
that there will be little marketable corn
in Iowa this year. They declare that the
ears that have thus far been sent in by |
their agents as fair samples will none Of
them make good corn. It will be partial
ly filled in some cases and in other cases
there will be a crop Of cobs. That is
the way the grain men look at the pros
poets for crop OF corn. They declare
that every day makes things worse, as
in only a few sections Of the state has
there been enough rain to do the corn
any rail good. It 10 admitted that there
may be q fair crop in some places, but
the general opinion Is that there Will not
be to exceed half crop.
Mr.. r. w. Harper said: "A few days
ago said that the corn crop Of Iowa
this year would not be to exceed half Of
the normal. Today think It will be
less than that. Every report receive is
more discouraging, and see no hope of
relief. In some places the corn ia past
help now. "A foot of rain would no good
when the tassels anI silk are dead. In
+ Their places the ears will have some corn
on them. This will be in the late corn,
however, as it was not far enough along
to be as badly hurt by the drouth as
that planted earlier. Rain in a few days
might help the late corn some, but do
not think it would make good crop"
Mr.. Layton, of the firm of B. A. Lock-
wood & Co., was more optimistic. II do
not believe the corn Is as badly hurt as
some are inclined to believe" said he.
"Of course, it is badly damaged in some
parts Of the state. Yet j believe there
will be e-fourths OF crop. The cool
waether of the last few days, and espe-
cially the cool nights are favorable. It
gives the corn chance to grow, and
even tho there may not be as much rain
as needed, the corn is not being burned
up at any rate. That is the great
thing. think that a good part of the
crop will be saved. Leaving the crops in
this part Of the country out of consid-
Grafton, I think there will lbe good corn
raised. received word from North Da-
kota to the effect that corn in that part
of the country is going to be better this
year than ever before. II that is the
case we may have a large amount OF
marketable corn from that section
which will make up for the shortage

GRADERS AT WORK.
Large Force Busy on Interurban Line
Between Des Moines and Nevada.


Des MONIES, Aug, 1.-THE work of
grading the first eighteen miles Of the
interurban company's road to Nevada
has been commenced and large forces
are at work in the vicinity of Ankeny
throwing up the grade. 1t is expected
it will take at least thirty days to COM
plete this work. It is the intention,
pending an adjustment of the differ
ences between the Interurban and Des
Moines Union over right -of-way along
the river north of the city. to prosecute
the work in both directions from An
keny, and much of the bridge and track
material now on hand, will be unloaded
there. In all probability the first track
laying will be done from that point.
AS soon as the work of relaying the
down town street car loops with heavy
steel is completed, the track laying
gang will go to work relaying the road
between the city and Flint Valley with
heavy material.

Eldora, Aug. THE case Of G. NICK.
Duren, trustee Of estate OF Charles w.
Danger, bankrupt VS.. Charles w. Dang
ler, Emma j. Danger and ]. F. Hardin,
which will come up for trial the coming
term, has. just been filed in the county
clerks Office and is exciting unusual in
terest among the legal profession as well
at the parties at suit. The petition sets
forth that one Charles w. Danger was
adjudged bankrupt July 8. 1901, with a
list Of debts amounting to s.. no. That
said bankrupt scheduled certain per-
sonal property all of which he claimed
as exempt and also scheduled sixty-one
acres Of land, forty Of which he claimed
as exempt as a homestead, leaving but
stwenty-one acres OF his total available
assets. Said twenty acres is valued at
s735, but upon which with the home-
stead there is a mortgage of 81 200.
Danger claims the right to have the
proceeds of the sale Of the twenty-one
acres applied on payment of the 81, 200
mortgage which will absorb the entire
amount and leave no assets for the
creditorsc. That on January 8. 1901, said
Danger purchased of III. e. Boyd forty
acres of land for consideration OF ST.
900 of which amount $500 was obtained
by giving mortgage on the forty acres
and the $1,000 was paid by money from
other sources, being money OF said
Danger, but instead of taking the title
in his own name said Danger caused the
ded to said land to made to Emma
Danger. his wife, for the purpose OF
hindering and defrauding his creditors
and that same was done in contempla-
ton of bankruptcy. That on July 13,
1901 said Charles w. Danger, being in
debted to one j. F. Hardin in the sum
of $500 joined with his wife Emma
Danger in making mortgage on said
forty acres bought to secure pay
ment of said. $500. That said mortgage
was made and given and said j. F. Har-
din was preferred as creditor while
said Charles w. Danger was indebted to
other parties in the sum of over $1,000
and was insolvent and is now insolvent.
Plaintiff prays that the title to the
forty acres bought be dccred to be in
Charles w. Danger and that same be
sold subject to $500 mortgage and the
proceeds applied as required by law and
that the lien OF the 5000 be decreed In
ferior to the rights OF the creditors. II
is claimed by the defendants that the
$500 Indebtedness to ]. F. Hardin wat
created at the time the 1920 and $S0t
loans We're made and that said DANCE,
at that time agreed to secure same by q
second mortgage on the forty acres
but that in the rush of business In
cident to the first of the year same was
neglected until July 10. 1901, at which
time the mortgage was executed to Sc
cure the 5000.
| In compliance and fulflllment of the
former agreement and understanding OF
the parties some interesting legal points
viii be brought out and a big legal bat
tie is assured.

The work OF organization is m the
hands Of the district chairmen. They are
held responsible for all the counties In
their district and are urged to see that
each one is organized as soon as posst-
bic. Active work will commence soon
after all the conventions are held, and
in some parts OF the state it has COM
menced already. "A county Organization
is good basis to work upon and the
county organizations are expected to be
of great assistance in arranging dates
for meetings and generally looking after
the campaign.
The headquarters Of the party In this
city are now open all the time, and
Chairman Campbell is to be found there
most Of the day. From this on he will
devote more time to the work, and,
while he does not expect to go out IN
the field himself, he will have charge Of
all the speakers. More organizers Will
be placed in the field as soon az the
proper men are found.
