IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Balletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
DIES MONIES. Iowa. June "a.


The week was unseasonably cool,
the average daily temperature at the
central station being twelve degrees
below normal. On the mornings of
the 2lst and 22d, the frost line was
reache at numerous places, but no
material damage resulted. The rain
fall was variable, ranging from trace
of tn rec inches. In considerable por-
tions of the state the soil was dry
enough for cultivation of corn, and
fair progress has been made in clean
ing the fields. In the dryer sections
the corn crop is about ready to be
laid by in promising condition.
The low temperature has been
favorable for small grain, checking
che tendency to rust and excessive
growth of straw. For maturing and
harvesting barley, oats and spring
wheat there is need of dry weather
and sunshine Glover cutting is in
progr ess, but conditions have not
been favorable for securing the crop.
Pastures and potatoes are doing well.
Apples are doing fairly we'll, though
the crop as whole is considerably
below the average. All fruits have
been measurably disappointing this
season, but garden vegetables have
made bulky growth

TOWNSHIP TICKET.
The Republicans Nominate a
Splendid Ticket.

The Republicans OF Oskaloosa
township met in delegate convention
Monday evening in the court room
for the purpose of placing in NOM
ination two candidates for justice of
the peace and two for constable.
City Chairman James Carroll called
the meeting TO order promptly at the
appointed hour and appointed Will
liam Mattison chairman and o. @. G.
Phillips secretary. Roy Robinson
was made assistant.
A committee consisting of Jack
Hensyl, W. II. Hamilton, James Irwin,
w. H. Cunningham and Ed O'Brien
was selected to look after represent
alton in the convention and reported
forty-oEe delegates with the proper
credentials and entitled to seats
On motion the temporary organiza-
ton was made permanent and the
secretary was instructed to call the
roll for an informal ballot for the
purpose of determining who was in
the field. Justice Emory @. Rice who
served the township for one term in
the capacity of peace officer had pos.
itiveiy declined nomination for a
second term much to the regret OF
many friends for the gentleman has
made one of the best officers the city
has ever had.
The informal ballot brought out the
folio wing candidates: Chas. Stanley,
Henry r. Kendig, H. L. Thatcher,
Capt. Woodruff and William Laffol-
let, Chas. Stanley was nominated on
the second formal ballot receiving
the total forty-one votes of the con-
vention and was thus made the I'M
amin GUS first choice.
The first ballot for the second
justice of the peace resulted in the
selection of Henry R Kendig as the
second nominee for the second peace
officer.
The informal ballot on the con-
stables showed eight candidates in
the field for nomination, Jerel Carver,
w. D. Titus, Al Jones, j. o. Grant,
Jacob Jones, j. W. Bateman, win
Baugh and George Andrews. George
Andrews, the present officer serving
with Justice E. G. Rice, was nomin-
ated to succeed himself. The second
nomination was made on the third
formal ballot aud the plum fell TO Al
Jones.
The township ticket that the Repub-
licans have thus seen fit to place in the
field is one most excellent in every
way and one that will win out at the
election.
Having thus cared for the matter
in hand as designated by the call the
convention adjourned sine die. 4,

With rival delegations going to the
judicial convention at Mansfield from
Stark county, and three or four candi-
dates out to divide up the congress
sional delegc ton, the chances for har-
mony in this county are not very
bright. The seat Of war is in Canton.
McCarty and Upham are at swords
points as to the selection of the judi
cial delegation, and Grant and Smiths S
friends are lined up against each other
on the congressional fight Old fac
tional lines have been obliterated in
some instances and new alliances have
been formed. The Hanna and Foraker
fellows are working side by side Oh
both sides and the rank and file of the
party hardly know where they stand.
What effect the little side skirmish
over at Alliance will have on the sit
uatior is not known, but the informa-
ton comes from over there from a
reliable source that great many of
the Republicans insist on recognizing
Mahoning's rights. 1t is not that they
love Mahoning more, but Canton's poll
ticians less. They see chance to get
even.
