Pr0pped Up In Bed, With a Book to
Read, He Passed a Good Day
Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 24.-President
Roosevelt passed the last day of his
western trip lying in bed with his leg
propped up on a pillow and an in.
teresting book in his hand. His ply
steal condition is all that the doctors
could ask. barring the wound on his
leg. He has suffered but little pain
from this, and DR.. Lung has not found
it necessary to apply new dressing.
1t has been decided to issue no bull
1etins as to the presidents condition.
for fear that too much Importance
would be attached to his disability,
which the doctors say is no sense dan
gerous, though temporarily disabling.
The president enjoyed the most re-
freshing sleep last night that he has
had since starting on the trip, and
felt SO well Wednesday morning that
he wanted to get out of bed and sit
in the parlor of his car. He, how
ever, followed the advice of his doc.
tors, and did not arise.

Thursday afternoon for the first meet
ing of the home department. Mrs. M.
ID. welch is the leader for the year
and took charge Of this first meeting
her subject being ''The Home of the
Future" In her Introductory remarks
Mrs. welch spoke of the first crude
homes saying they were probably sticks
stuck in the ground with the skins OF
animals for covering. that the home
developed gradually through the wig
wan. the cave the cabin, until ii
reached it's present stage. The word
home means not only the place of hab-
itation, but the spirit that pervades
1t, and in building our homes we should
be prompted by the spirit of a consid-
Grafton for others. We build not alone
for ourselves and now. but for others
should also consider our station in life
and strive to conform to it. Mrs. Welch
suggested that If several friends who
are to build new homes would build
and plan together. making one nome
the complement of another. a better
effect would be secured, and she spoke
of landscape gardening, trees, and
ero,nS ~ chr,,hhorv aS vain a hla acceS-
sories to external appearance.
Only public architecture can be noble
owing to the fact that the industries
which are carried on in the homes, rem
der necessary many things which de-
tract The new library building here
and the Burlington railway station in
Omaha. were cited as fine specimens
of buildings devoted to one purpose.
The home should express peace. rest.
quiet
This will be truer of the home of the
future when by some cooperative plan
the cooking and other work will be
done away. thus eliminating the kitch-
en- and laundry.
Careful ventilation is as necessary to
health as is pure food. and the house
of the future will probably have fresh
air supplied automatically. The home
of the future will probably be heated
by electricity. it will not be built of
wood because the forests are being SO
rapidly devasted and not of stone for
the cold stone walls create draughts.
One who takes an extreme view of the
case says the house of the future will
probably be built Of glass.

dress was participated in by a num-

Crops in Union County.

Special to Times Republican.
Creston, June 2S.-Crops in Union
county are still in excellent condition,
in spite of the extremely wet cold
weather of the past week. The corn
has never been a better stand at this
time of year, and there is yet plenty of
time for it to develop. The crop Of
early potatoes is now almost ready to
dig and is larger than ever In the his
tory of the county and of excellent size.
The farmers are getting ready to begin
hay harvest and all say there will be a
good yield. The oats and small grain
are growing finely. tho there has been
a little too much wet cold weather for
them to do their best, and 1t is feared
that they will be rank and many fields
will fall down, while some oats are be-
ginning to rust. There has been light
traces of frost in this county the past
two nights, but it is not thought that it
has done any material damage to the
crops and on the whole the farmers are
well pleased with the prospects.

Sheldon, June 23.-The Kansas City

the c., ST. p, NJ. & o., was wrecked
Sunday morning at Ashton, ten miles
north of this place.
Two trainmen were killed, five 9TH

passengers were slightly injured.
The dead:

clerk.
The injured:
Erskine, J. K, st. Paul, mail clerk
Thompson, V. S., st. Paul, mail
clerk.
Weston. A. E., st. Paul, mail clerk.
There is no limit to the speed of the
train. Engineer Garfield had lost time
and the superstition is the train was
moving at the rate of about seventy
miles an hour when approaching Ash
ton.
The train was made up with the two
mail cars ahead and heavy composite
coach following. The sleepers followed.

a defective switch point was struck
and the train left the track.

Engineer Garfield escaped by mir
acle. He was pinned down under the
debris, but escaped with an arm broken

Mail Clerk c. ]. Robinson was
crushed under the timbers of the mail
car, which was smashed into kindling
wood. His body was carried back on

Clerks Weston and Erskine were badly
crushed and may not recover. They
were taken to their homes at ST.

STRONG BACKING FOR |. G ST. l.
Report Is That the Rock Island Is Back
of the Proposed Road.

Sioux City, June 23.-The announce
ment is made at Centerville, Iowa, that
the Chicago, Rock Island is back of
the Iowa & st. Louis Railroad Com
pany. which recently was incorporated
to construct line of railway from
Centerville to ST. Louis, to be the
southern end Of the Iowa & Missouri
Railroad Company, which proposes to
build line from Centerville to Sioux
City.
In this connection the Centerville
Citizen last week said: THE recent
settlement of the Virgins Ferry con-
troversy in St. Loui<. whereby the
Rock Island secured terminal rights
into st. Louis, points to the fact that
the Rock Island, in its onward march.
is casting about for line into the
worlds fair city, and this points us to
the Iowa & st. Louis building from Cen
tervlle to st. Louis. The Iowa & St.
Louis terminates at the Rock Islands
right of way south of Centerville.
There it has purchased sufficient
ground to erect shops. and the friendli-
ness shown between it and the Rock
Island indicates that something more
than mere business relations exist be-
tween them"

RAINS DAMAGE THE CORN.
Too Much Rain Has Hurt Prospects in
Hamilton County.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, June 23.-Owing to
continued heavy rains and floods in
Hamilton county there are many sec
tions where the corn crop will be a to-
tai failure. This is true, not only in
those spots which were entirely washed
out, but also on the lowlands, where
the continued high water kept the far
mer from the fields, thus allowing the
corn to be choked out by weeds. With
the fields that are choked out and those
that are drowned out there is little
show of the crop amounting to any
thing. Other crops, however, show an
indication of making an average yield.
