summer kitchen.


summer kitchen.
This morning many of the side
walks are entirely gone and all
more or less out of place and things
look badly dilapidated. Most every
one has moved back to their places
and are busy at work putting things
In order, the best they can. There
is difference of opinion among
the older settlers as to whether the
water was ever so high before. Sam
Harm says he has lived for the past
p years where he now resides and
the water was at least - inches
higher than at any previous time.
Uncle HiDimick says that it was
at least Slnches higher than he had
ever seen, while others confirm
these statements.
Many rumors of loss of stock are
current, but so far we have not been
able to ascertain of an instance
where there has been any loss be-
yond what is reported. Doubtless
many of the culverts are washed
out along the highways and the
abutments to county bridges badly
damaged.
1t is safe to say that the rain was
one of the heaviest in years and will
retard harvest which is just coming
on, and damage the grain as all
small grain is badly lodged. The
hay crop is ready for harvest and
a few days of sunshine are badly
needed.

The Two Flags.

Mr.. John, Temple Graves in clos
ing his memorial address on the
10th ult at Atlanta, Georgia, said:
/" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.-AsI
sink into silence with the setting
sun let me salute the colors that
surround me. First, that dear old
flag of tender memories, battle
SCARED and grimmed with glory,
consecrated in heroic convictions
and furled forever upon an issue
never to be reopened. And then, in
the spirit of this happy day let,us
salute that other flag that carries
all the hopes and glories of the
present and all the hopes and prom
ises of the future-the flag of our
country, the flag of our fathers, and
now, please God, our flag forever.
1t is the symbol of liberty and pro-
gress, and wherever it streams men
mustard shall see day break burst
ing on the world. Not another flag
in shistory has such mission as
that. or goes forth to carry such
tidings upon land and sea. It is the
banner of dawn, the flag of morn
ing the emblem of peace, the sym
Dol OF iiberty-the unbought, un-
shamed, unconquered, glorious
over all victorious-star spangled
Flag of the Free. AS we behold it
streaming here-we are veterans
and sons of veterans-we are Amer
lean citizens, too--with one blood
pulsing in veins unclotted by sin
gle bitter memory-can take it to
our hearts and lift it high above our
heads and thank God it waves at
last above reunited country, with
its white stripes denoting peace, its
red stripes pulsing kindred, and
the azure radiant with stars which
speak the providence that makes us
now and forever one people in the
greatest republic in the world"

Crop Bulletin.
DIES MONIES IIILY Z /!

DEs MONIES JULY Z, 1902.
The first half of the past week was
cool and cloudy; the last half was
much warmer with drying winds,
and much more favorable for crops
and field work on we'll drained lands.
The rainfall was variable, ranging,
from less than an inch to over 500
inches, about two-thirds of the state
receiving very much above the nor
NAL amount, and extensive areas
on the Cedar river and other
streams have been flooded, causing
damage to crops that cannot at
this time be estimated. In general
the crop situation has been i'm
proved in the larger part of the
state by the few days of dry wealth
er and sunshine. The condition of
corn is unusually variable as to
size and amount of cultivation; but
probably three-fourths of the plant
area is fairly clean and up to nor
NAL standard.
Dry weather and sunshine are
now imperatively needed for ripen-
ing and harvesting small grain and
securing the bountiful hay crop.
Spring wheat in sections where the
acreage is largest has been doing
well, with moderate damage by
rust. Oats badly lodged in the cen
trail valleys, but the state average
is nearly up to the normal, and the
output depends wholly upon seas
enable weather in TIE near future.
The potato crop fs very promis-
ing, though there IRE some reports
of damage from e. Eessive moisture.
Crop correspon tents, July LIST re-
ported the following averages of
conditions:
Corn, 80 per 9cent; spring wheat,

MAGNETISM OF MISERY.
Men Haunt Scenes Tint Revive Menu
cries of Pain.

Men Haunt Scenes Tint Revive Mcm-
cries of Pain.
Every storm, earthquake or disaster
of any kind brings out curious phase
of human nature. Many of those who
have seen their houses destroyed or
their nearest relatives killed return
as soon as possible to the scenes of dew
astation. In some instances this is ex-
planned by the fact that there are more
opportunities Of earning livelihood
among old neighbors than among new
surroundings. In numerous cases, how
ever, no such business reason operates
as an inducement. The magnet Is SEN
timent, not money. AS some mourners
devote every holiday to visiting graves,
so large fraction of the homeless and
bereaved go back to spend the remain
der of their days in the scenes that re-
call calamity and gloom.
1t was so after the great London fire,
it was SO after the Lisbon earthquake,
it was SO after the yellow fever swept
Philadelphia, and in more recent years
the Chicago fire, the Mississippi foods.
Charleston, Johnstown and other ca
tastrophes confirm the old experience.
Apparently the desire to gain new
pleasures is no more keen than the
wish to revive the memory of old pain.
Our last storm destroyed much proper
ty and many lives. but we will see
people choosing homes in sight Of the
telegraph pole from which the fatal
live wire dangled or the flooded stream
in which the only son was drowned

SUDDENLY SUMMONED.
David A. McAnulty Dies of Heart
Failure While on Duty.

The sudden and sad death of Mr..
David A. McAnulty, one OF the
guards at the state prison on We'd
nesday morning, was indeed sur
prise. The death was so sudden
and SO unexpected that it came as
shock to all. The night before he
had suffered more or less suffoca-
ton and had gotten up in the night
and gone out on the porch at his
home. Wednesday morning he re-
ported as guard as usual, and only
few moments before his death he
had consulted Doctor Philpott, the
prison physician, who had request
ed him to rest awhile. About nine
O'Clock Mr.. McAnulty had taken a
chair and sat down in one of the
passage ways. Several of the pris-
oners had passed him to get drink
of water and he seemed to be asleep.
His son, Arthur McAnulty, who is
also guard, saw him and went up
to awaken him and was surprised
to find his father dead. Help was
secured and the body taken to the
home at 424 Broadway.
The funeral will occur on Friday
afternoon, July Fourth, from the
family residence at half past three
o'clock. Rev. Doctor Stewart will
preach the sermon. The obsequies
will be in charge of Claypool Lodge
No. 13, A. f. and A. M.
/ Mr.. McAnulty came to this city
about ten years ago and been a
guard at the prison since he came
here. He was fifty-seven years old.
He has enjoyed the good fellow.

A Loved One Gone.

After three long, weary weeks of
patient suffering, Emma Leckband,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Leckband, of West Extra, departed
from the scenes of life, passing
through the portals that lead to the
world beyond.
The departed was born at Hull,
Iowa, and was IA years, 6 months
and days old at the time of her
death which occurred early Monday
morning, the result of an attack of
measles with complications. She
moved here with her parents some
thing over year ago, and has sur
rounded herself with a crowd of
young friends who deeply mourn
the loss of one they loved.
She was one of those sweet girls
of purity and innocence, merging
into womanhood, possessing the
attributes that made her worthy
girl, fond of her friends and asso-
ciates.
The funeral was held at the home
Tuesday forenoon conducted by
Rev. Cloeter,. of Audubon township.
A choir composed of her girlhood
friends sang, while others acted as
pail bearers. Her remains were
shipped to Hull, Iowa, for inter
ment, accompanied by her father
She leaves father and mother,
one sister and five brothers whose
hearts are heavy and sad and who
long for the association that has
been severed by the hand of Death.
A bright girl full of hope and
promise has been taken from our
midst, but may she happily be in
the world beyond, awaiting those
she loved and those who have so
kindly and tenderly cared for her,
giving her every comfort within
their power.

pleased with the swapping of one
his houses in this town for one
hundred and twenty acres of land,
the trade on his part being sight
unseen. He says the land is good,
there is some splendid corn on it
waist high and besides there is a
ten acre grove that insures plenti-
full supply of firewood. He figures
it out that he is several hundred
ahead On that deal and that his
lucky star was in the ascendancy.
