rmentioned for temporary chairman
iowa Weather and crons.

Des Moines, April 30.-The weekly
bulletin of Iowa weather and crops
says: During the, past week the cy-
clonic winds and dust storms, which
are somewhat characteristic of the
season in this portion of the contin-
ent, eliminated in copious showers,
bringing abundant moisture for pres
ent needs of the crops in nearly all
parts of the state. Some damage was
caused by the high winds in numer-
GUS localities, and it is likely that
seed grain was, uncovered. or too
deeply covered by drifts of dust in
many exposed fields; but the resultant
showers brought ample compensation
in the form of relief to the suffering
crops. The fields are in excellent
condition to absorb the moisture with
out hindrance to farming operations.
and in all districts there is large
area ready for the corn planters.

Money of Mississippi Involved in Dis.
pute on a Street Car.
Washington, April Ex-senator H.
D. Money of Mississippi had an alter.
cition 4fith a conductor on street
car yesterday morning, which resulted
in the senator receiving two severe
blows from the conductor and the con.
ductor being cut quite severely in the
right hand with a small pocket knife.
The trouble arose over payment of
fare.
Senator Money later secured war.
rants for the arrest of Conductor
Shaner and Foreman Hooper of the
engine company on the charge of as.
sault. He also brought charges
against Capitol Policeman Murphy
who also is alleged to have taken the
part of the conductor in the struggle
with the senator.
Senator Money said that when he
left the loop car the conductor waved
his hand to the conductor of the other
car, indicating that he had paid his
fare. He declared there were three
separate and distinct assaults com
mitted on him. He drew his knife, he
said, to protect himself, but not until
he had been elected from the car and
then not until after the conductor had
continued to assault him after the
ejectment.

into, as far as practicable, the public
charges to the effect that a combina-
ton of the large meat dealers had been
effected contrary to the provisions

April Z, to prosecute simultaneously
in Chicago and the east hore partic-
ular examination into the allegations
and proofs alleged to exist in support
thereof. From their reports am salts
fed that sufficient evidence is in hand

junction can be framed to restrain the
combination mentioned from further
proceedings under their arrangements,
which clearly appear to be in restraint
of trade. have, therefore, in compli.
ance with the law, which provides:
