Iowa state New. Notes.

Iowa farmers are busy threshing their
grain. II is a little early, but the wet
weather compels haste TO prevent injury
to grain in shock.
There is mourning among the small fry
of Marshalltown. The Gentry brothers say
the town is a hoodoo and Will refuse
TO show there in the future.
Returning from camp meeting at Croton
Arthur Cahill and Miss Maggie Lyons were
thrown from a buggy and badly hurt. Miss
Lyons was thrown into a wire fence and
received several severe injuries.
The divorce court is knocking the pins
from under Dan Cupid's business in Black
Hawk county IN a manner that Is aston
god. Things seem to have reached a point
where the marriage institution is wholly
unable TO hold its own with the rapid
grind of the divorce mill.
Baxter New Era: Grandfather Scott sent
this office the other day a singular freak
of vegetable nature. 1t was a stem from
a Siberian crab tree on which, within the
short space of 1--WE inches, were hanging
twenty perfect apples, and a further re-
markable feature In the matter is that this
Is all the fruit the tree bore this season.
In spite of the fact that considerable
corn was drowned out and the small grain
Is badly damaged, the farmers seem TO be
well contented and prosperous in mosi
parts Of the state. The stock raisers are
especially so, for they are making money
more rapidly than before. The cattle ex
hibits at the state fair this week show n
Iowa Is becoming more and more of a cat
tie state and that ultimately every farmer
Is dltnosl certain 10 become a STOCK raiser
and feeder, rather than a raiser of grain
alone.
Rev. Isaac Newton and wife lave just

miles south OF Farley in 1889. Father New
ton was one Of the early pioneer Meth
odist ministers Of Iowa and for a term OF
years was presiding elder of the Dav-
export district, and, although s4 years old

ing, the need Of more carpenters is felt. The
large amount of building going on through
out the city has placed a premium on car
penters and owners OF booths were offering
all kinds Of money yesterday for a man who
could WELD a saw and hammer.
The fencing in Of the enclosure will be
begun this morning and by tonight the pub
lie will be excluded from the streets and
that portion Of the park reserved for the
fair. This will enable the men at work to
put on the finishing touches without hind
rance and afford protection to many of the
booths which are completed and In which
the exhibits have been installed.
The committee yesterday secured another
free show in the shape of a trick bicycle
team. The contract with the Bosco snake
eater show was cancelled as the committee

Supervisor Taylor Resigns.

Thu resignation OF Street Supervisor
Taylor was accepted, although stoutly op-
posed by Alderman FINLEY, who wanted a
report from the officer before his resIgna-
ton shold be accepted. Theodore Guitar.
until recently deputy oil inspector, was
elected to NIL the vacancy. Alderman Tin
ley opposed the election of Guitar on the
grounds that he was worth between $780,
900 and $50, 900. and that the position should
be given to a man needing 1t. Alderman
Casper at first suggested the reelection Of
Taylor, insisting that he was the best man
for the place, but meeting with no encour-
agement. he urged the appointment of A.
e. Avery. former street supervisor.
A lengthy discussion over the depleted
condition OF the streets and alleys fund
followed, Alderman Casper bringing the
matter up and stating that after the Au-
gust pay roll had been paid there would be
less than 1000 in the fund for the re-
naming seven months Of the fiscal year.
He said that acting as temporary chairman
Of the committee he had stopped all work
except that performed In payment Of poll
tax. At his suggestion the streets and
alleys fund was relieved Of the payment
for a carload Of lumber and this will be
paid out of the bridge fund. Alderman
Lougee, who at the last session Of the
city council, asked to be relieved OF the
duties Of chairman OF the committee, ex-
planned that no more money had been spent
up to date on the streets this year than
had been last year up to the same time.
but the fund had been crippled by the re-
fusal Of Supervisor Baker to permit any
portion Of the county road fund to be
turned over to the streets and alleys fund
as had been lone in former years and which
had been counted on when the annual ap-
preparations were made.
Mayor Morgan announced that he had APP
pointed Alderman Mcdonald chairman Of

Two Polling Places Wanted.

Residents Of the western portion Of Gar
per township fed a petition yesterday with
County Auditor Innes asking the Board Of
Supervisors to divide the township into two
voting precincts. The matter will come be-
fore the board at It's meeting next week and
It is said that the request will be acted
upon favorably. Garner township is Of ir-
regular formation and residents in the ex-
IRENE western portion are forced to make a
trip Of from six to eight miles to reach the
soting place. which is located at Grange hall,
about the center Of the township. Owing to
the irregular topography Of the township
those living in the western portion are
obliged to com to Council Bluffs on their
way to the voting place. This long trip
keeps many OF the voters at home and ex-
capt in presidential years the township
never casts 1t full vote. The total vote OF
the township is about 500 in presidential
years, but. in other years It rarely exceeds
$50.
The petitions ask that the dividing line
be between sections s and 6 and Z and s,
and that a separate voting precinct be es-
tabllshed Of each division. This the County
Beard Of Supervisors has the authority. to
do under the law.
Lewis township is much in the same con-
dition as Garner is and it has been suggested
that the board make two voting precincts
ofsit. the same as requested for Garner.
