FoE WEEK ENDING JUNE %, 1902.
Dies MONIES, Iowa,

DES MONIES, IONA.
Another cold and wet week, with great
excess of cioudiness. The daily average
temperature was about u degrees below
normal, and the rainfall was excessive
in nearly all portions of the state.
Field work has been practicable only on
the urlands from two to three days dur
ing the weeks. Crops are holding their
own remarkably we'll under these un-
favorable conditions. In the southern
districts some Of the early planted corn
has been laid by in good order. but the
bulk of the crop in the state is consider
ably below the average for July L. With
normal conditions III the balance of the
season the crop may be brought up to
the average. despite the loss Of acreage
in the flooded sections The oats crop
is standing up fairly we'll, and in por.
tions of the state promises we'll, and in
portions Of the state promises good
crop. All small grain crops need dry
weather and sunshine for filling and rip
ening. Considerable clover hay has
been cut, but not much of it has been
saved. The season has been very favor
able thus far for meadows and pastures,
and especially new seeding of grasses.
Potatoes and all garden truck are doing
remarkable well. The apple orchards
suffered much damage in the northwest
from windstorms. In all sections apples
will be light in yield.

in their third quarterly returns at once.
The annual election of officers will be

This part of the state will not go dry
through the winter, for a good rain
started in during the night and it has
kept up the greater part of the day. The
winter so far has been exceedingly mild,
and there has been but one night when
the thermometer went below 25 degrees.
The counting of the election returns by
the canvassing board showed {, larger in
crease for the republican state ticket than
was supposed it had at the close of cleo
ton day. Governor Herreids majority
amounted to $685. which is almost double
the majority figured out week ago, when
the full returns had not been received.

publican candidate for the state senate,
received the highest majority secured by
any candidate in the county for twelve
years. His majority is 623. M. G. Belts,
on whom the democrats made special
fight, won out against John Colvin, with
a majority of 325.
1t has been decided by the city council
not to open the Carnegie library building
this winter, even though it should be\com-
pleted by the first of the year. The
building is in the hands of the plasterers
and the electric wiring is being done. The
council will in the spring commence the
erection of a city hall that Will cost
s25 900, and it is the intention to heat the
library building from the steam or hot
water plant in the city hall building, as
they are close together.

FORT BENTON, MONT. - District
court for the eleventh district is in ses-
sion here, Judge John w. Tattan presid-
ing. A jury Of forty is in attendance.
The first case on trial is that of the state
assault.
The alleged crime was committed year
ago last June on the person of Miss
Mildred r. Tressler, now Mrs. Mildred R
Smith, near the town of Malta, in this
county. The defendant was not appre-
blended until about year after the COM
mission of the crime, when he was found
in the county Jail at Eagle River, Wis.
committed to that institution under the
name of Frank Cody. His Boosting to a
fellow inmate led to investigation by the
jailer at Eagle River, with the result that
the officers were satisfied that he was the
man wanted in Montana. He was extra
dited and brought here, and identified By
Mrs. Smith as her assailant.
His counsel has announced he has no
attempt to impress the jury with the tale
he told the sheriff on the way from Wis
consin, namely, that he was in jail at
Ashland, under the name Of Joseph
Martin. at the time of the commission Of
the crime. At the time Of the assault
Miss Tressler was herding sheep in the
hills, some miles from her home, and her
assailant rode up on horse and bound
her hands
There is one murder case on the docket,
that against Everett Wall, who is charged

OCTOBER A BIG MONTH

Hills Gold Production Was the Greatest
of the Year. ,~.
DEADWOOD, S. D.-The month of
October was one of the best in the his
tory of the Hills in the matter of gold
production. The output exceeded that of
any previous month during the year. This
Is owing to a numoer Of new mills having
lately started. Other mills that had been
running several months had been raised
to their intended cape city, and still others
were operating under more favorable con-
ditions than previously. The ore tonnage
and gold production by the different
mines for the month was:

IOWA

DIES MONIES, lOWA-The superintend-
ents of express companies doing business
in Iowa have issued positive orders to their
agents in other states not to accept G. o..
D. shipments Of intoxicating liquors for de-
livery to Iowa points. This is in accord
ance with the recent decision of the state
supreme court. Carrying c. 0. d. l1Ior
packages has been a considerable part d:
the business of the express companies
since prohibition went into force in Iowa
and these orders will Curtail their bust
ness materially. At the same time it will
cause rejoicing among advocates of total
abstinence, who have found thai the abil-
ity Of the express companies to deal in
liquors was a serious hindrance to the en- .
focement Of prohibition.

1t Is rea sonably certain that this pro-
duction will be maintained until about
the first Of the coming year. when it will
be increased Is per cent by reason of the
new plants now in process OF construc-
ton. These figures are from the books
of the various companies, made up imme-
diately after the close OF business Tor
October. There are several mines that
are shipping to various outside smelters
whose products cannot be arrived at, and
will probably bring this total to from
$4,000 to $4,000 more.
1t is conservatively estimated that the
gold production Of the Hills will reach
eight and a quarter millions easily Tor

year by several hundred thousand dollars

the Potsdam Gold Mining company, in the
development stage. All three are work
ing on the limestone plateau near Ragged

Potsdam is a local organization, pro
NOTED by some Of the best known and
most competent mining men in the Hills.

in the spring as possible.
The Spearflsh company is reducing
about 800 tons of ore every twenty -four
hours It's plant has crushing machinery
sufficient to handle 400 tons a day, as
shown by a number of experiments and
it is likely that additional tanks will be
put in next spring to increase the output
Two clean-ups are being made each
month, and the company is depositing on
an average about SIS, 900 in bullion at the
United States assay office in DeadWooo
