DEMOCRATS NEED NEW ISSUES.

Breckenridge Declares Bryan's None
tary and Territorial Theories Dead.
Lexington, KY, June lin letter
in answer to one asking for his views
on the reorganization of the democrat
tic party and future issues, Colonel W.
iC. p Breckenridge, ex-democratic con-
gresham, says:
The American people never will
consent to such legislation concerning
the currency as will put into statute
the views of Mr. Bryan. 1t is equally
true that the American people will not
approve of the territorial policy advo-
Gated by Mr.. Bryan"
Further along in the letter he says:
1--WE are, therefore, confronted with
this actual state Of facts. 1t is impos-
sible to win without such nominee
and platform as will secure the support
of those democrats who refused to
vote for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900
and it is also impossible to win with
out the cordial support of the regular
democratic party.
ut has occurred to me that the is.
sue in 1904 might be our relations
with our new possessions. That these
will be retained is now certain. That
the principles promulgated by the SUI
preme court in the late opinions will
be accepted by the people is certain

CLIMATE AND CROP SERVICE.
Crop Bulletin for Week Ending June
1QA1

Des Moines, June 1.-THE week
brought favorable change in the con-
dition of all crops, though the temper
ature averaged from l to degrees be-
low normal. Showers on the 4th, 9Th
and 9Th were fairly well distributed,
and in some localities quite heavy
Again on the 9th, and early morning
of the 10th, copious showers afforded
ample moisture for present needs in
nearly all sections of the state. The
rainfall and cool weather have been
beneficial to small grain, pastures and
meadows. The hay crop will
be generally light, except in mead
ows consisting mainly of clover which
has made fine stand. Good progress
has been made cultivating corn, and
the fields are generally quite clean.
The growth has been retarded by cold
nights, and the stand is much i'm
paired in extensive areas by cut
worms, which have been unusually
destructive.
Reports received from crop cores
pondents of this service make the fol-
lowing estimates of crop conditions:
Winter wheat, 81 per cent; spring
wheat SO; corn 80; oats 80; rye 95;
barley 50; fax SO; meadows 90; pas
lures 90; potatoes 95. According to
figures tabulated by Secretary Greene,
of the Horticultural society, fruit con-
ditions are as follows: Apples 50 per
cent; Am. plums, 70; domestic plums,
So; Japanese plulns. &c; cherries, 50;
culTants, II; peaches, SIS: cranes. 81:
red rasnherries, 60; black raspbeTTies,
II; blackberries, 81; straw berries, Tf.
The condition of farm animals is
generally rated from 95 to loo per cent.
The spring pig crop is IS per cent and
foals SO.
The reports indicate chat farmers
are now holding about Is per cent of
the corn crop of 1900

PLACE is NO MORE,
A Big Coal Mine Dismantled and
Abandoned.

Oskaloosa June 11.-Shaft. No. s of
the Consolidation Coal company, To-
Gated southwest of Beacon, is no more.
The men employed there were with
drawn and transferred to Buxton last
week and the top works and machin-
cry are being torn down and removed
to the same destination. Parts of the
machinery and nose of the men will
be employed in the operation of Shaft
No II, which is now being opened up
about three miles west of the town of
Buxton. This means the removal Of
over 200 men from Mahaska to Mon
roe county, and eventually the remov-
al OF from 600 to 500 people. The
Northwestern is also taking up it's
tracks that have led to the old shaft,
though enough of them will be left
for the accommodation of the Neagle
mine, near Beacon. Shaft No. s has
been in operation for a number of
years and has been paying institu-
ton.

Two Men Have Narrow Escape From
Serious Injury.

From Mondays Daily,l
While o. j. Devaney was driving on
West Second street yesterday morn
ing, his horse became frightened at
piece of paper lying on the street and
started to run The animal made good
time for block or so and was nearly
under control, when another vehicle
was sighted coming from the opposite
direction, while close behind Mr.. De-
vaney was a street car. At the rate
of speed Mr.. Devaney's horse was go
ing it was impossible for him to get
past the other buggy and street car.
The right front wheel of Mr.. De-
vaney's conveyance struck the left
wheel of the other vehicle, and Deva-
ney's buggy was overturned, throwing
both himself and Mr.. Webster
who was riding with him, to the pave
ment The horse was stopped before
it had gone very far, and neither the
horse nor buggy was injured. Mes

FOUND A BIG IOWA DIAMOND.
Humboldt Man Discovered 1t While
Digging Post Holes.

Humboldt, June 11.-Quite a little
interest is being shown about here ov-
err the finding of a peculiar stone by
Frank Butts, of Humboldt, while dig
ging post holes. The stone is about
an inch in diameter and three inches
long, and looks very much like dia-
mond. The owner says he can cut
glass with it and not make the least
impression upon the stone. Those
who are most familiar upon this sub
iect say they would call it a smoked
diamond Mr.. Nuts has had severl
chances to sell the stone, but, being a
poor man, he wishes to know its real
worth before selling. He therefore
has sent it to New York, where he
hopes to find whether it is worth any,
thing or not; and, if it proves to be
the real thing, he will probably be the
richer by several thousand.

TO CHANGE MULcT LAW.
Anti-saloon League Working for Modi
ification of LIQUOR Law.

ificaton of Liquor Law.
Des Moines, June 1.-THE cam
paign for mobilization Of the present
Iowa mulct law is being carried on
quietly. The movers in this are the
persons at the head of the so-called
Anti-Saloon league. who are not pleas
ed with the present law, especially in
some of its features. There have been
"a larger number of lawsuits growing
out of the law the past year than ever
known before. In almost every coun-
ty there has been what appears to be
needless expense by reason of prose-
cutions under the law. The extent to
which express companies can bring in
liquors in prohibition counties has yet
to be tested in the higher court There
is much complaint on the part of the
temperance element that the law is
not sufficiently rigid to make prohibit
ton effective even where the people
refuse to approve of licensing saloons.
1t has been given out by persons high
in the movement for crushing out the
saloons that they will ask the legisla.
ture for number of notifications of
the law. The prohibition party man.
ayers anticipate a great increase in
their vote this year for this reason.
They are more active than usual and
are making capital out of the claim
put forth in many counties that the
law is weak and needs Strengthening
The representatives of the liquor in,
Iterests say that the law suits them all
right, that there is an increasing mum
Der of saloons in Iowa, that the people
like regulation of saloons better than
the drug store system of dispensing
drinks, and that they do not desire
any tinkering of the law at this time
In Des Moines there is general salts
faction with the present state of af
fairs. The saloons are not made tc
live up to the law, but that is the fault
of the city administration At Allan
tic the council has just decided upor
fixing a license for saloons and has
placed the price at $1,000 per annum

THEY ABANDON ATHEISM.
Italian Masonry Brought in Harmon,
With Rest of World.

Rome, June livery Free Mason
in the United States will be interested
to learn that the Italian Free Masons,
after having for nearly three decades
followed the example of the French
branches of the craft in eliminating all
reference to the Creator from their
rites, and in barring the use of the
words, GA G. D. G. A. D. o." which
stand for the Latin words ITO the glo-
ry of the Great Architect of the Uni
verse;" have now restored this mystic
device, and have returned to the Ma
sonic recognition of the Divinity.
This will have the effect Of bringing
about reconciliation between the
Italian lodges and those Of the United
States, of Great Britain, of Germany
and of Scandinavia, which have boy
cotted all those Masons Of the Latin
countries who have denied allegiance
to the Great Architect of the Universe
