Iowa Crops Are Menaced.

CREsToN. Ia, July 1.-(special.)-The
farmers are beginning to feel apprehen-
sion for the condition OF the crops in this
part OF the state. The continued cold,
damp weather is making its impression on
the corn, which is now at a standstill and
showing signs OF failing vitality, and is
full OF weeds. The hay is almost ready
to cut, but It is impossible to get in the
fields on account of the wet condition of
the ground. Many fields Of oats have
fallen down, 30 It will be hard work to
harvest them, and signs of rust are de-
veloping. One Of the heaviest rains of
the season visited this county Saturday
night and continued all day Sunday. So
much water fell that 1t was impossible
for the sewers to carry 1t all away and
the streets were turned into ~rivulets. The
rain was a cold one, the thermometer
dropping to within a few degrees OF freez-
ing point.

OBJECT TO CIVIL MARRIAGES
Ministerial Association Discusses the
Prevailing Fayoritism for
Justices.

While the pastors OF the city forming the
membership of the Council Bluffs Minis
terial association insist that they do no.
look with %covetous eyes upon the fees, they
are firmly OF the opinion that 9TH cause OF
religion and the s~anctity Of the marriage
is greatly lowered" by so many wedding
ceremonies being performed by the justices
Of the peace. In other words, they protest
against the prevalence Of civil marriages.
The subject was discussed at the meeting
OF the Ministerial association Monday and
Pastor Calfee Of the Broadway Methodist
church was outspoken in his arraignment Of
civil marriages, the prevalence Of which he
attributed to the low fee charged by the
justices Of the peace. After stating that
the general impression that the ministers
were lining their pockets with gold per-
forming the marriage ceremony for the
hundreds OF people who made Council Bluffs
a veritable Mecca for weddings was err
roneous, he said: Most OF the marriages
are civil marriages, performed by some
goddess old justice of the peace, who has
no more reverence for the sacrednees Of
matrimony than he has for the divorce
court. Why, It has gotten so that these
justices Of the peace are invited out into
the country to perform this sacred and holy
service"
II SNNNo DASohNn WhNh NoAu VI doNOI Ndl-
fees arraignment of the justices OF the
peace, denounced 1t as uncalled for. He
said: II marry people who apply to me,
providing they have the properly issued
license from the clerk of the district court.
and I charge them the statutory fee. The
law empowers me to perform the marriage
ceremony and I shall continue to do so as
long as / am justice of the peace. Mr.. Call
fees attack on the Justices is entirely un-
called for"
Judge Carson. when asked for an opinion,
declined to express himself, but said he did
not think when a couple applied to him
with the regularly issued certificate to per-
form the ceremony that he would decline
to act and refer them to some minister of
the gospel.

ASSAULT WAS UNPRoVoKED
Companion of ROderIck Says Meyer
Had No Part in Quarrel
Before Being struck.

The preliminary hearing of Otto w. Rod
erick and John Williams, charged with
causing the death Of Railway Mail Clerk
Meyer, will, II is expected, not be had be-
fore Justice Bryant before Saturday. Will
liams has made a statement to Chief Of
Police Tibbits which in part Is contradic-
tory to that OF Roderlck and indicates that
Meyer was the victim Of an unprovoked as
sauit. He said that Meyer took no part In
the quarrel In front OF the Creston House
saloon and made no attempt whatever to
strike Roderick. Meyer, according to Will
liams' statement, was standing apart from
the other men and was apparently consid-
erably under the influence of liquor. Will
liams said he slapped the man who made
the insulting remar to him and that Rod
erick went up to Meyer and dealt him a
terrific blow in the face, the force Of which
lifted the unfortunate man clear of his
feet and hurled him backward to the pave
ment, his head crashing against the stone
sidewalk. The rest Of williams statement
was substantially the same as that of Rod
erick.
From Williams the police learned that
the three young men in Meyers company
at the time OF the assault were Frank
Cook, Roy Keller and William Frisby. The
residences of the three young fellows is
known to the authorities and they will be
called as witnesses at the preliminary
hearing Saturday. Up to last evening the
police had made no effort to secure any
statements from the three young fellows,
