LOST HIS LEG.
Preston w. Harris, of Oskaloosa,
Has a Misfortune.

MarshaIltown, Aug. 2s Preston
w. Harris, colored, aged 20, who
gives his residence as 312 North F
street, Oskaloosa, but who has been
making his headquarters more or
less in this city since the July race
meet, was badly injured at about
midnight while trying to get off the
Chicago & Northwestern limited
train, No. s, at point between Fifth
and Sixth streets. Harris people
live in Kansas City, and he was on
his way back to Oskaloosa from that
city, coming via Council Bluffs,
where he got on top of a through
sleeper. When night came on he fell
asleep and awakened, so he says, at
about the time the train was getting
into MarshaIltown, about 1850
O'Clock. AS the train began slowing
up for the Second street crossing he
attempted to climb down the side of
the coach, but lost his hold and fell.
One leg went under the wheels, the
left being crushed both above and
below the knee and the right wa
broken by the fall just above the
ankle. Lying helpless and bleeding,
Harris was found by a tramp at l
O'Clock, who informed the night
operator at WO block station, who
wired the Northwestern night
operator here. The latter informed
officer Clark and he, with assistants,
went to the point where the man lay
and brought him to the depot, where
he was removed in an ambulance to
the Cottage hotel. 1t was found
necessary to amputate the left leg
close to the hip. The right, how
ever, it is thought, may heal nicely,
although a bad compound fracture
was sustained, the bones protruding
through the flesh
A telegram this morning from a
brother of Harris, living at Kansas
City, announces that he will come to
the city today. Harris is a race fol-
lower and had running horse at the
recent meeting here. The man had
on his person Sl7.25 and good gold
watch.

The convention was then addressed

then reviewed the work which had been
accomplished since the Omaha conven-
ton. Prof. Moore spoke in part as
follows:

NO SIGNS OF PEACE.
Both Sides Deny Rumors and Each
Claims Victories.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 2s.-The steel
strike situation was featureless Tues
day. No sooner are rumors spread of
negotiations for another peace con-
ference between the United States
Steel corporation officials and the
Amalgamated association, than both
sides hurry to deny the accuracy of
the reports. In the meantime the
leaders of the workers assert that
they are constantly making fresh
gains and inroads upon the mills of
the combine, while on the other
hand the great steel company off
Gals announce placidly that in every
instance where they have attempted
to start one of their plants they have
succeeded and that they can get all
the men they want. That success has
attended their efforts is evident at
Wellsyille, Painters mills, Clark's and
Lindsay and McCutcheon's. The first
three named are running practically
full, and new men are being taken
on every day.
But Little Change.

ing over his mail and hearing reports

No Peace Overtures.
New York, Aug. 2s.-No oyertures
for peace have come to the United
States Steel corporation from the
strikers through any of the inter-
mediaries named in the Pittsburg dis
patches, and it was stated at the Of
fee of the company Tuesday that
none were expected. ]. Pierpont
Morgan returned to the city Tues
day, but it was said that his return
had nothing to do with the steel
strike or it's settlement. The Off
Gals of the United States Steel cor
poration made the following state
ment:
'.rhe reports that there are negotiations
for a settlement of the steel strike In prog
ress are erroneous. The United States Steel
corporation has received no proposals for
the settlement and has made none. Many
of our men are returning to work, and
many others are DESTROYS of resuming
their places. The strike can only be set
tied by the return of the men to their
places"

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. a.
The daily average temperature for
the past week was from to de-

ditions still prevail over the larger
part of the state, mitigsted by cool
nights, and scattered local showers
on the 21st, ed and 25th. The most
copioua showers were reported on
the latter date, in the west central

Except portions of the northeast
district, the northern half of the
state has received considerable BEN
eft from rainfall during the month.
In the southern section the drouth
appears to have wrought the great
est amount of damage; and yet con-
siderable portions of the southwest
report fair yield of small grain, and
prospects of much better output of
corn than appeared possible about
the LIST of August.
The corn crop as a whole has made
very rapid progress toward maturity;
early planted fields are now about
ready for the binders, and begin
ming has been made in cutting. Late
corn is in all stages of growth, with
variable prospects, the output of
grain depending upon the amount of
moisture received. 1t is holding its
own notably well, and developing
fairly well filed ears in the larger
part of the state.
A general soaking rain is much
needed for pastures, ( potatoes, fall
seeding and blowing.

PUMPS AS
INSURANCE
Maui Plantations
Which Must
Wait.

Owing to the fact that the pump
makers could not guarantee the deliv-
cry and installation of plants in time
for the next summer ceason, the
lspreckelsviue and Paia plantations viii
be without one additional pump each
next year. The recent drought on Maui
was the reason for the making of the
plans for the new machinery, but de-
spite the anxiety of tie managers the
makers could not guarantee that the
stations would be in working ordec III
time, and so the matter has been put
over. There has been no abandonment
of the plans, only a deferring OF their
execution until the pumps are needed
for the season of 1908.
The plantations have been such SUI
ferers from the dry spell that the de-
termination to put in the pumps was
made during the summer. The agents
for the pumps which were desired,
were asked for plans and a hurried
trip was made to Chicago, out it was
impossible to get the matters in shape
in time. and he returned without CLANS
and figures. Ten days ago H. n. Al
len. representative Of the Allis -ChaI-
mers Company, arrived here and i'm
mediateIy left for Maui. There he went
over the matters with Mr.. H. p. BaiG-
win, but as a result of conferences it
was found that delivery could not be
guaranteed and the contracting for the
pumps was put over for the time be-
ing.
J.. P. Cooke, of Alexander & Baldwin,
said yesterday hat the plantations
a decided to make the addition to
their machinery owing to the long d;y
spell. as it was in the nature of insur-
nee that the pumps should De in
place. Their would be little new acre
e added to the cultivated areas, ne
said, but there would be in the pres
ence of the pumps. assurance that
there would be water for the growing
crop whenever it was wanted The
fact that the pumps could not be out
in for the coming season did not mean
at all that the plan would be aban-
doned, for there would be only a delay
of one year, as the intention to have
the irrigation supply was not to be
abandoned.
II. A. Allen, h representative of the
great pump company, said in regard to
the matter. that there was a large
amount of work on hand. and that The
erection of the great factory at MY
waukee, which isito be the largest fIc-
otry in the world devoted to upnping
machinery, has been greatly delayed.
He continued: The strikes of the sum-
have had a great effect upon all
mechanical work. For instance the de-
livery of the tools which are to be used
in the new shops has been delayed by
the strikes on all hands, and of course
work upon u own pumps has been
slow. The strikes of various kinds
held back every kind of manufacture
and the Allis-Chalmers Company has
of dollars of work under con-I
tract. The pumps which I figured on
for the Maui plantations were to be
600. 600 gallons per day capacity. Of
Riedler pattern. It was impossible
to get the machines out in time for in
s%taliation and use during the coming
and so the work has had 20 go

SALVATION ARMY
OFFICERS MOVE
Two Captains Leave This City
and Others Are to
Arrive.

There is sorrow in the ranks of the
Salvation Army these days, for the
inevitable orders have arrived from
their headquarters, bidding the officers
in charge of the corps to pack their
trunks, say goodbye, and leave for
fields anew. Captains Burgess and
Sullivan arrived in Honolulu just a
year ago and during that time have
put in some most effective work, their
MEETINGS being well attended.
In all, 296 persons have knelt at the
penitent form seeking salvation. Eard-
" a snip has entered or left the har-
Dor during their term without adding
its quota to the. number of penitents.
Many, naturally, are never heard from
again after they leave port, but from
quite a few favorable reports are re-
ceived from time to time. The perna-
nent roll of the army has been increas-
ed by twenty names, while ten of the
members of the corps have, like the
apostles Of old, left everything and
gone out as eVangelists or officers, Civ
ing their entire time to the work of
~soul-saving. Major Wood, who is in
supreme command. has nothing but
words of commendation for the work
done by the now departing officers.
