cummins at Sioux City.

Sioux City, Sept. 21.-Hon. A. b. Cum
minis will make political speech In
Sioux City during the fall campaign.
The meeting will be held at the opera
house and will be the chief oratoriacl
event of the campaign on either side.
Chairman Jackson of the republican
county committee expects the campaign
generally will be very quiet. The dem
ocratic committee entertains the same
view.
"At the state convention we received
Mr. Cummins' assurance he will give
us a speech in Sioux City," said Mr..
Jackson yesterday afternoon. Since
then we have had the promise repeated
from him and also from people IN his
behalf. We certainly VIII get 1t. no
matter what pressure is brought from
other sections, for Woodbury. county
has been Cummins county too lohs
and too Loyalty to take no for an an
swer. There is no doubt of our getting
the date"

An Attempt Made to Kill a Well

,ecial to Tines Republican.

Special to Times-Republlcan
Newton, Sept. 21.-The people of this
place had hardly recovered from the
terrible murder of DR.. B. N. Failor
when another supposed attempt at life
has been committed. Thursday night,
while Albert Lufkin a retired capitalist
and one of the oldest residents of this
city, was sitting in the parlor of his
home surrounded by his family, some
unknown person stole upon the porch of
his residence and fired 3S-caliber shot,
but fortunately for Mr.. Lufkin, he was
leaning slightly forward in his chair and
the bullet, after breaking the window
glass and shades struck the back of his
rocking chair and lodged. with no one
harmed. in the wood work at the oppo-
site side of the room. No one had been
heard to enter upon the walk or porch,
and no one could be found about the
house Immediately after the firing.
This occurred about Q o'clock, and it is
Very hard from the surroundings to see
how the firing could have been an acct
dent. Mr.. Lufkin -is one of our most
highly respected citizens. wealthy and
nearly 20 years of age. The police are
at loss to find a motive for the shoot
ing, unless it was for the purpose of
robbery. Mr.. Lufkin was reading a
magazine at the time, and had he not
moved slightly forward in his chair
when he did he would have been in the
direct path Of the bullet.

With this estimation the levy on the

Wheat in the vicinity of 20 cents. from

of an above average crop. with below

price level at this time does not seem to
US can be properly expected; that there
are possibilities of higher range ulti-
mately, owing to the fine quality of
American wheat, the stability of tinan-
cial affairs and requirements of the for
eign buyer, seems more than probable
and that consequently to the buyer 1t is
largely q matter of patience and more
opportune time.
On the other hand, 20 cents for wheat
is good price. OF late years fiuctua-
tions of wheat values have been nearer
6 or cents as an extreme as against 10
cents ten to twenty years ago This is
due not entirely to an increased supply.

Des Moines. Sept. 21.-I am greatly
pleased at the outlook for corn and po-
tatoes at the state institution FARMS,
| said John Cownie of the board of con-
4 troll yesterday shortly after his return
from trip to the institutions at Glen
wood and Clarinda. There will be no
less than $4,000 bushels Of potatoes on

potatoes at the price of 81 a bushel and
they will be that high at least.
81 am satisfied the only cause for the
| good prospects for potatoes is found In
| the constant cultivation that has been
required. That is the only explanation
for It, AT Glenwood and Clarinda the
potatoes would be growing yet were 1t
not for the frost. AS 1t is the tops are
nipped but the main part of the stalks
is still green. Had the frost held off a
month longer there would have been
crops of $50 bushels to the acre. The
cultivation of the potatoes was stopped
but short time ago. Men with hoes
have been kept in the fields at Ciarinda
constantly and there is not weed to
be seen in either potatoes or corn.
II was surprised to find the frost at
Glenwood and Clarinda and points in
southern Iowa heavier than here. AT

exhibitions wants 10 see the defeated

have gone another round or two when
