Prof. ]. B. Cassiday, who will
open up his school in September in
South Frankfort, III the house
lately occupied by Prof. Winston,
has secured the services of Miss
Elizabeth Giltner as teacher of
music during the coming season.

ed, being a graduate of the New
England Conservatory at Boston,
has studied piano at Leipsic,
Germany, violin at the Chicago
Musical College under Lister
mann, harmony with Whiting,
and pipe organ with Fuqua, of

chance of securing a thorough
acquaintance with this study.
Those wishing to study art will

We trust that Prof. Cassiday

LOT OF WATER.

After a drought Of almost unprece-
denied length and severity there fell
in the state of Iowa on the night Of
the 9th of July an average of ~
inches of rain. 1t is interesting to do
a little figure work on this thing. 1t
meant 10 tons of water deposited on
each acre of land, $1,000 tons on each
quarter section farm, 10S,S0O tons on
each section and the enormous aggre-
gate of 6,035, 6SO,OOO tons for the whole
state. Probably every drop of this
water came from the gulf of Mexico,
evaporated from the waters of the gulf,
blown landward and northward up the
great trough Of the Mississippi valley
and, coming in contact with cold air
currents Of the upper atmosphere, the
vapor so collected was precipitated In
such measure that all the people re-
| turned thanks for the coming of the
blessed rain. Mans attempts at irri-
cation seem very puny and futile in
deed when compared to the magnifi-
cent scale upon which the Creator irri-
| gates the thirsty earth.

AS TO CUBAN FARM LANDS.

We are asked to state whether in
vestments in farm lands in the island
of Cuba would be desirable PROPOSE
ton. We have never been to the
island and cannot therefore give spe-
cific information. In a general way we
should say that until Cuba became an
integral part of the Union there would
be more or less risk, probably more, in
buying real estate there. AS an indie
pendent community like Santo Domin-
go or Haiti, insurrectionists are sure to
follow each other in regular succession;
| there will be little stability and peren-
NAL ruction and disturbance; the island
| is sure to run in debt to the limit and
taxation may approach confiscation;
titles to real estate are without doubt
very badly involved and much of the
soil is of no value for agricultural pur-
poses. If fertile land bearing an IN
questioned title can be cheaply bought,
! it may prove to be good investment,
/ but no man living on a western farm
| Is in a position to handle such a deal.
He had far better buy land near home.
which he can get at and knows all
about, even at the high prices now

ANOTHER FRACTURE.
Complications in the Case of Viii
Lesan-His Condition.

[From Wednesdays Daily.l
The physicians and attendants at
the Ottumwa hospital were much en-
couraged yesterday morning in regard
to the ultimate recovery of Will Les
an, on account of the low temperature
on the part of the patient and signs
of returning consciousness. About
noon, however, the high temperature
returned, paralysis in the left hand
became more manifest and there were
increased symptoms Indicating frac-
ture on the right side of the skull op-
posite the fracture on the left side
which was trephined on Saturday. Dr..
Lesan. of Mt. Ayr, who is assisting
DR.. Williams made an examination
and found depression on the right side
of the skull indicating a fracture. DR..
Williams was called and this morning,
assisted by DIS. LaForce, Brockman
Spilman, Bannister and Lesan he per
formed an operation and discovered
an extensive fracture on the right side
of the skull. The young man rallied
from the second operation. He is still
unconscious and there are small hopes
of recovery although the wonderful
vitality he has shown is considered
somewhat encouraging.

A DESERT sun.

1t was desert sun which shone on
all the west during July, drying up the
streams, whiting the corn and prema-
turely ripening the grain-the same sun
which beats down on Sahara and the
waste places of Arabia-red in the
morning, a fiery furnace all day, and a
bloody ball as it sank behind the west
ern Interchangeable Of camels, car
avans, a desert. GASES, a palm grove
and wells under their shade, drifting
sands, simoons and death by thirst-an
abnormal touch of the horrible in tenn
perature, to combat which man was
more powerless than he is to battle
with temperature of 40 below zero.
That awful ten degrees of heat be
tween 80 and 105 will never be forgot
ten by those who endured it.

DRoueHr wos.r XIII THEM.

One of our noted agricultural Scien-
fists states that protracted drought
kills off many kinds of noXious weeds.
Here is another instance where theory
gets knocked into cooked hat by the
actual facts in the case. All weeds,
being Indigenous to the country where
they grow. endure adverse conditions
far better than any of the plants which
are cultivated as crops. We notice
that none of the so called weeds has
been eXterminated as a result of the
savage drought which fell upon the
Mississippi valley during July of this
year. While it dwarfed their growtl.
to some extent, there is not a mothers
| son of them but will make a good crop
of seed for next year. The squirrel
tailed grass, one of the very worst
weed pests of the west, and pnrslane
just reveled in the heat and aridity,
while burdocks, pigeon grass, morning
glory, wild buckwheat, sorrel mus
lard. cocklebur and many others have
made IL good crop of seed on short
! straw. The fact is Il man can learn
more of what is so by using his eyes il
the fields than he can By. studying sci
ence out of textbooks.

THE Fnnr1L1zArroN OF conS.

We are asked to say something about
the fertilization of the corn plant, the
drought and hot winds which prevailed
over the corn belt during July just as
the corn was tasseling having awaken
ed much interest in this subject. Every
one who grows corn will have noticed
the development of the tassel and the
bunch of silky threads protruding
from the tip Of the future ear of corn.
In plant lore the tassel Is the stamen
and the silk the pistils If the tassel
is watched as it develops, 1t will be
seen to bloom and will become loaded
with pendent blossom, which carries
burden Of pollen or yellow dust, this
condition of bloom and pollen shedding
lasting for a day or two. The winds
shake this pollen down and it falls
upon the open and receptive silks, each
of these silks being connected with an
embryo kernel Of corn on the ear, and
here we have to halt, for it is not given
to man to explain or even understand
the mysterious process whereby the
touch of the pollen upon the tip Of the
silk gives life and vitality to the en-.
bryo germ eight inches below in the
husk. Nature is exceedingly prodigal
In all her efforts at reproduction, and
so there is vastly more pollen produced
upon field of corn than is needed for
the work Of fertilization, SO much
more that experiments have shown
that fully one-half of the corn in a
| field may be detasseled and still insure
the perfect fertilization of the crop,
with the somewhat curious result that
better ears of corn will grow upon the
detasseled hills than upon those not
so treated, the reason being that the
vitality of the plant used up in the pro-
duction of the pollen is thereby divert
ed to the development Of the ear. A
temperature of 1o5 in the shade, espe-
cially if accompanied by hot wind
from the south, is fatal to this act of
fertilization, as above described, such
dering the production Of pollen fmpos-
s!ble 1t was this condition Of things
which destroyed the corn crop in 1894
the corn remaining green and thrifty
until fall, but hardly an ear fortified
The same condition to a less extent has
hurt the cornfelds this year, and while
the stalks remain vigorous and thrifty
it will be found that fertilization has
been very imperfectly done and many
, large cobs will be found at huskins
t time with only a few scattered ker
nels upon them. For the above reason
corn late planted and which was no
il tassel at the time Of the severes
heat will be found to yield much bette,
: than that planted earlier.

ESCAPE SERIOUS INJURY.

Mrs. Frank Hite, the wife of well

would arise and announce its vote.

some little time and INDUCED in a few
expressions as to the liberty of the
