Crops in Northwestern Iowa.

Special to TimeS-Republican.
Sioux City, July 9.-The counties of
Harrison, Monona, Woodbury., Ida,

GENTLY in the next week to admit of its
being harvested.
The fruits are all doing we'll, especial
ly raspberries and blackberries. The
crop of raspberries has not been large,
but the berries have been the finest
grown for a number of years. Black
berries promise an enormous yield of
fine berries. Apples are making bet
ter showing every day and packers in
Mills and Fremont counties are prepar-
ing for an immense shipment.

LIGHTER Yield in Harrison.

Missouri Valley, July S.-For miles
up and down the Willow river valley
the fields in this county are under wa
ter. The heavy downpour of rain dur
ing the past few days has welled the
stream until it's banks are overlooking
and it's waters are sweeping along for
rods in each side.
On the fiat lands up and the Missouri
riverSyalley water also covers many of
the fields and all of the sloughs and
lake beds are field to their fullest ca
pacity. In many PAGES the highways
are impossible. The damage to the
crops is rather uncertain at this time.
1t will be some days before the water
is drained from the fields and a still
longer time will follow before farmers
can get into their corn to cultivate it.
Very hot weather just at this time will
be injurious, but with favorable condi-
tons from now on it is believed that
most of the corn will be saved. How
ever, the yield in this section will be
much lighter than usual.

corn has been plowed for the last time

oats have not fallen down like some

CT comes off so that these crops can be
properly harvested a heavy yield is
looked for. Fall wheat is ready to be
harvested and has been for the past
week but the fields have been so wet
that the wheat could not be cut.
The hay crop is heavy in Page coun-
ty and farmers have begun to cut their
clover and some have begun on their
timothy.
Blackberries and raspberries are
yielding a good crop. and, like straw
berries, Page county is a great field for
them.
New potatoes are abundant and now

caused the vines to rot at the roots and
now the old time gardeners are eX-

years experience says it is the most

the island. He says not a half crop
can be harvested under any conditions

using their irrigations plants freely by
this time of the year. Now they wish
they could work them the other way

CLARK DODGES
Secretary of State Hides From the
Lay.

The law committee of the fusion
party has been making it very hard
shedding not only for the Kansas
Supreme Court but for the Secretary
of State and others.
When the Supreme Court decided it
would not sit, the law committee then
sought to have the case tried before
some District Court where they were
sure that Justice would be done. They
felt that before an extremely partisan
republican judge, they would have
little chance Of q fair trial and non
partisan decision. They decided to
try the case before Judge Dale of
Wichita, well known ali over the
State as one of the brainiest. trueSt
and best judges in the whole state.
When this became apparent however,
George 4. Clark, Secretary Of State,
Immediately hid out. Repeat ed at
temptS were made by the under
sheriff Of Sedgwick county to serve
notice upon him, but although Mr..
Clark well knew that he was being
sought after, he was absent from his
office and from his home and could
not be found. This did not stop the
law committee however, and they i'm
mediately applied for writ Of pre-
emptOry mandamuS. FhiS writ can
be served on any PefseH at the resi-
1onao nP l1a 6nFanHanf nd
served after some difficulty, ON the
servant at Mr.. Clark'S house. Imme-
diately on the serving of the warrant,
Mr.. Clark got word that he had been
legally served and he Immediately ap-
peared again upon the scene.
The bold action Of republican ofIi
Gals will not appeal to the ia ir mind
ed republicans of Kansas. If this law
is constitutional, it will be declared
to be so by Judge Dale. Ii it is not
constitutional, then the republicans
have nothing to fear. from the deciS
ion. 1t is to be hoped that whatever
the outcome of this law, democrats
and populiStS all over the state will
take notice of these bold acts of re-
publican officials and see and appreci-
ate the fact that the whole law was

The Topeka Capital recently with
glaring headlines declared that Mr..
Craddock's Ito Do Right" pamphlets
which have played such havoc with
the Republican majority in Kansas,
were printed in a nOn-uniOn shop.
The Typographical Union of Topeka
has a worse grievance t4an this
against BTr. Albaugh in the fact that
the Republican campaign booklets
was made in the plant OF the State
Printer and it's getting out was made
as an assessment upon the people in
the shop. Every working printer con-
tributed his share, whether he was
Democrat or Republican, to the
making of the Republican Campaign
book. While the union label was
placed upon it not one union man in
the shop got single cent for his labor
on the book and he was locked for his
time while at work upon it. Thus it
is that the Republican managers play
on the gullibility of the people and
attempt to humbug them into the be-
lief that they are for the good of the
people and all the time their pretenses
are only hypocritical. The chances
are that there will be few votes in the
State printers establishment for Dir.

WHY WILL NOT SCOTT DEBATEp
Queer Actions of the Republican
State Committee.

About two weeks ago the Populist
State Committee challenged Congress
man Charles Scott to a joint debate
with Jerry Botkin. Mr.. Scott imme-
diately replied THAT be you'd be de-
lighted to debate. Since then, how
ever, the Republican State Committee
has been going through series of
gyrations attempting to make it ap-
pear that they will try to locate the
debate in some town in the state.
They tried Salina, Parsons, TT. Scott,
Kansas City and other places but in
each instance the Republican local
committee for some unknown reason
refused to have anything to do with
the, debate, although in nearly every
case the Populist Committee was
eager to have the debate.
On receipt of Intelligence from Re-
publican Headquarters that it was
Impossible to locate this debate, Sec.
Curran offered to pull off the debate
in either Topeka, Emporia or " ichita
but was informed that it would be
impossible to have Mr.. Scott in any
of these places. 1t is easy to infer
from the foregoing that Congressman
Scott and his State Committee are
very mich averSe to m eet ing Mr..
BOtkin on the stump.
The sympathies of the Democrats
and Populists and many Republican
friends of Mr.. BOtkin are with him
in his hour of trial and it is we'll known
that Jerry had looked forward with a
great deal of pleasure to his meeting
Mr. Scott on the stump.-Ex.

The republican party of Kansas
when it was not dominated by corrupt
boSsism never feared to go before the
people on fair election law. Why is
it then that now when the party is
supposed to have big majority in
the state that it had to resort to such
an unfair measure to perpetuate its
power? Isn't it because the corrupt
leaders like Leland knew the people
would turn them down if they became
too corrupt? That's the only reason
they could have for trying to prevent
a free expression of the will of the
people at the polls.
