BUILDING SLIGHTLY DAMAGED.
Lightning Strikes Old Central General
Offices BUILDING,

During the violent thunder storm of
early Sunday morning lightning struck
the flag staff on the cupalo of the old
Iowa Central general offices building,
breaking the pole. The bolt did not,
however, enter the building, and on ac-
count of that fact a disastrous fire was
probably averted, as the upper story is
filled with loose, dry paper that would
easily have caught fire. AS it was
the damage was but slight.
At about IL o'clock fire alarm was
turned in from box 412, located OH
Eighth avenue between Main and
Church streets. The department re-
sponded but no blaze could be found.
1t is not known who turned in the
alarm.

Il expect larger republican vote in
the county this year than last fall, and
would place the increase at about 500.
The majorities of the different repub-

increased.
My expectations are based on re-
ports from each township. The county

THEY DO NOT AGREE.

Railway Men Say That Glucose Off
Gals Statement Regarding Discrim-
ination of Northwestern is Far From
Truth.
Railroad men and others who claim
to be conversant with the situation
state that the glucose officials, when
they told Councilman Webster that the
Northwestern Disseminated against
Marshalltown in the securing of corn,
and that the plant was only able to
operate as long as it did owing to corn
brought in by the other lines, was
largely composed of "hot air" and was
told simply as an excuse. One gentle
man who is conversant with the
amount of corn hauled into this city
by the three roads, also the amount
used by the glucose plant, says that
in his estimation less than 10 per cent
of the total amount of corn used by
the glucose factory here was brought
into this city by the Iowa Central and
Great Western. Others say that they
would even place the amount at q
lower figure than that, and say that of
all the corn used by the local plant
in the past twelve years the North
western has hauled here at least 95
per cent. 1t is also claimed by man.
who is an employee of the Northwest
ern that the statement that the North
western owns a string of elevators
along it's line is untrue. He further
says that the officials whom Mr. Web
ster saw may have meant by discrim-
ination that they We're unable to Sc
cure from the Northwestern rates as
to the moving of the corn
and the manufactured product as was
granted by the other lines.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS,
Summary for Week Ending Sep
TENDER 1.

Vicksburg, Sept. 3.-The daily
temperature averaged several de-
grees about normal. Much cloudi-
ness poevailed during the latter part
of the week. On the 18th and 29th
the long and severe drouth was
broken by rains that were generally
heavy throughout the state, except
in the extreme northwest and south
east counties. In some of the central
counties the precipitation for the
week was over four inches.
The cotton crop was too far adj
vanced to be much benefited by the
recent rains. The strong winds and
heavy rains did much damage by
beating out and staining the open
cotton. 1t is still being damaged by
rust and shedding, and boil worms
are becoming more prevalent, doing
much damage to the late crop. In
the northern and delta counties it
has deteriorated considerably and the
outlook is less promising there than
it was few weeks ago, while over
eastern and southern portions of the
state the crop Will be very short. The
staple has opened rapidly during the
week and on uplands in many locali-
ties 1t is nearly all open; picking is
progressing as rapidly as the weather
will allow and considerable is being
ginned and marketed.
The rains have been beneficial to
pastures, sugar cane, peas and sweet
potatoes. Turnips are being resown.
In some of the southern counties the
hay drop has been ruined by grass
worms. Corn was generally too far
advanced to be influenced by the late
rains and the yield will be much be-
low the average except in some of the
northern counties.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT WANTS.
Said That He will Demand a Reduct-
ion for Cuba's Competition.

ION tor CUBA CompStltlon'
WASHINGTON, Feb TIT is now
definitely known what amount of tariff
reduction President Roosevelt wants
for Cuba
He demands reduction Of twenty
seven per cent. declaring this to be
the amount figured out which is need
ed to allow Cuba to meet foreivn com
petition.
Speaker Henderson and his sup
porters on the ways and means com
mittee nave planned to take up the war
tax reduction bill on Monday next.
In connection with this the commit
tee on rules was to bring in a rule
which would prohibit amendments be
ing placed on the bill, which would
avert the danger of Cuban recip-
rocity rider being tackled to the coat
tails of the bill.
The speaker and his friends now
fear that the reciprocity republicans
win join the democrats and reject the
proposed rule and add the reciprocity
clause bill anyhow. 1t would only
take the DETECTION of twenty republi-
cans to accomplish this, and it is con
fidently asserted that the democrats
have been assured of more tnan this.
II the present poll of the nouse is
correct according to this statement,
it is probable that caucus will be call
ed and an attempt mads to take act
ion that will bind the republicans to
act as a unit and thus defeat the
plans Of the few joining the democrats.
In the meanwhile the ttax repeal bill
is safe to present it and can be car
IL ssafs to present it and can be car
ried without rider being tackled on.

of the public school system in such a

formation.
Mr.. Glenn opposes a uniform text
book system and cites the action Of
several legislatures as endorsing his
opposition to uniformity in text books.
He contends that state school com

enforce the laws which are passed by
