If reports from beekeepers in central and
northern Wisconsin are any criterion as to
the general experience throughout the coun-
try honey will be q scarce commodity this
fall. The flowers and tree bloom of nectar
and pollen, on which the bees live, it seems,
have been washed off by the incessant rains,
and bees are starving by the millions. One
authority says that peculiar feature Of the
matter is that none but adept bee raisers be-
came aware Of the true state of affairs until
thousands outside of the hives, and on in
vestigation the hives themselves were found
absolutely cleaned of all honey. Men who
have been in the business fifty years say this
is the most threatening disaster they have
experienced.

/. DIES MONIES, IOWA.-Gossip from Clinton

Ball Of Iowa City will be nominated for con-
gressman In the second district by the demo-
Gratis. There has been much talk of Judge
M. J. Wade Of Iowa City, but lately the pros
poets seem to favor the nomination of Ball.
1t has been felt all along that Wade would
probably decline. but it Is not known he has
done so. though assumed that any plan for
the nomination Of Ball has Wade's complete
Endorsement The democrats feel they can
win in the second. unless strife is stirred up

however, are to keep down factional Difficult

vention. Reports from the eighth district
are that Senator Claude Porter Of Center
VILE has rcsitively refused to take the NOM
ination against Hepburn. J. B. Sullivan Of
Creston will probably be the democratic
nominee.
TIE executive council hopes this week to
finish the telephone assessment, to equalize
the assessments as returned by the counties,
and to about complete the railroad assess
ment. All interest centers in the railroad
assessment and it is greatly enhanced by the
Gecla1 atons of Governor Cummins at the
close CT the hearing Saturday, when he said
that regardless of what other property might
tc assessed at he regarded 1t as the duty
of the council to make the taxable valuation
of the railroads 25 per cent of their real
value. 1t is understood Secretary Martin
stands with the governor and that both are
determined on increasing the assessment OF
the roads.
1t has been strongly intimated by the rail-
| road attorneys that If there Is much OF an
increase in the assessment they will go to
the courts for relief. The railroad represen-
| tatiyes have all along taken it for granted
| that the council would not try to assess rail-
| road property at higher ratio than was oo-
