TOP SOIL TOO DRY
Seed Wheat Actually Blown Away
In Some Cases.
OTHER SEED LEFT UNCOVERED
Good Rains Are Needed, Though
No Irreparable Damage
Is Yet Done.

The best thing that could happen just
now would be a good rain over Mime
sota. Several Minneapolis grain men ran
out over Sunday to look over the prelim-
mary work and they are all back with
the same story. There is no complaint
OF any general lack of maisture, but in
some localities the surface soil is very
dry, and good wetting down is needed
to put the ground in condition for the
best results in seeding. Even where there
is abundant moisture in the underlying
soil, as in most localities, and where
conditions on the whole may be said to
be favorable for farm work, there is the
handicap of a lack Of cohesion in the top
soil.
Charles A. Malmquist of the state board
of grain appeals, covered the territory
around Winthrop, Mimi, and a portion
of Sibley county on Saturday and Sun
day. Mr.. Malmquist says the farmers
who were the first to start seeding on the
favorable weather that lasted several
days, about two weeks ago, have has a
hard time with it. The high winds h., re
blown out seed in some places and have
uncovered the seed pretty we'll in other
places. On Mr.. Malmquist's own farm
about IS per cent of the seed was blown
| out. Farmers are waiting for rain to
show whether the seed is going to hold
or not and if the indications then are
| unfavorable, or If there is no rain for a
time some of them will pillow up and
plant corn instead.
George A. Duvigneaud. vice president
of the Poehler Company, has reports from
the southern part of the state Of a favor
able tenor, except that there is some
complaint of insufficient moisture in the
| top soil to give the most desirable condi-
lions. A good rain within a few days
would make the outlook very favorable,
but farmers are complaining little, even
! now, Of the dry weather.

Sioux City, Iowa. April il. = Attorney

surrounding states as a criminal lawyer

case of Nelson VS.. the North Western
railroad, declared he would accept the
challenge Of N. N. Hubbard, Jr., of Ce-
dar Rapids, son of Judge Hubbard, Iowa
counsel for the Northwestern, to a duel.

examination Of an emnloye of the North

the witness admit he would be promoted

intimation became SO strong, Hubbard
turned to Argo, and declared:
You're "a id liar"

combat at any time and any place with
any weapons.
In his speech to the jury, Argo said he
would choose the Fourth OF July for the
time, and Hubbard s goat farm at Cedar

The British also captured three guns and

ing commenced April 8 when the Innis-
killing Fusiliers attacked Molipspoort,

had seized hill eastward of the poort,
after considerable opposition. resulting
In Colonel Murray being wounded and
Lieutenant Lincoln being killed. An
other officer and five men were wounded
Since then the operations continued
daily. Colenbrander's latest report
April II, gave the Boer losses in killed
wounded and prisoners at 106 men.
The most severe fighting occurred April
in western Transvaal, where General
Ian Hamilton has replaced General Me-
thuen in command of the British troops

HAWKEYE HITCH
President mad congressman Mag
Clash Over Offices.


Clash Over Offices.
From. The Journal Bureau, l.ooa. SO, Post
Building, Washington.
Washington, April 14.-There is likely
to be a clash between the president and
Iowa congressman in filling federal Offices
ia that state. 1t is said the delegation
has about agreed to favor the reappoint-
ment Of all the cid officers except the
two collectors Of internal revenue. In
the northern district ]. U. Sammis of
LeMars will be recommended for appoint
ment to succeed Collector Patterson and
in the southern district Harry Weaver,
long chairman of state committees, will
be Endorsed as successor to Collector
Kimball
Trouble will come because the presi-
dent will probably want to retain the
present officers. There are a dozen or
more collectors of internal revenue
throughout the United States who have
made exceptionally good records and the
president desires to reappoint these men,
regardless of the wishes of the state
delegation. The Iowa collectors stand
we'll up in this list. Patterson being fourth
and Kimball fifth.
The delegation is to have meeting
next Saturday to fix up slate, and it is
probable that the possibility of the presi-
dent opposing the selection Of new inter-
nal revenue collectors will be discussed
more than any other subject.
