Well Known Resident Of Prairie City

Prairie City, Sept. 15.-F. w. KEEL
lum, one of the best known and hereto
fore most highly respected citizens OF
this locality or in this section of Iowa,
has left his family and his friends,
after borrowing $4,000 from the State
bank Of Prairie City ostensibly to be
used in his stock buying business. Kei-
llIm disappeared one week ago. A let
ter written from Omaha yesterday to
the State bank authorized an attach
ment of property sufficient to cover the
amount Of the Indebtedness Sheriff
Hook OF Newton, has levied on the
property Of Kellum at the instigation
OF the bank.
The strange action Of Kellum has
caused not little comment here, where
he is SO well and favorably known.
After years OF active business among
the stock men Of central Iowa. during
which time it is claimed Kellum has
been absolutely fair in his dealings.
such step is a mystery to those inter
ested. The absent man leaves wife
and two children. and as far as can
be ascertained, his home life was hap
py.
1t is understood other creditors aside
from the State bank are demanding
satisfaction, tho Kellum has enough
property to satisfy all debts.

| Clear Lake, Sept. 15.-The contin-
ued rains of the past week have hao
| the effect Of steadily raising the water
| line in the lake until it is far anu
away the highest in many years. Not
since the wet spring of 1878 has the
water anywhere near reached its
present line Under the encroach-
ments of the water the shore is rapid
ly vanishing, and many who live on
the lake shore find the lake tapping
hungryly against their back, or front
yards, and gradually eating into them.

of the lake have been undermined and
have falien away, and others will
undoubtedly SO WHEN the ice comes
with its expansion. AT Baird's Row
the aristocratic row I'm the lake front
the water is close to the sidewalk
and it is not unlikely that in case
OF high western wind the walk
would float away. The low land ly-
ing just south OF the Outing club is
also In imminent danger of being
flooded a condition which, however,
would not be accompanied by much
loss or damage. One of the most SER
ious sufferers as result of the high
water is Whitaker's pavilion, or COW
cred dock, as it is called A portion
of the walk surrounding the dock on
all four sides has been swept away,
and what is left is fully two feet
under the water. The water has
reached the pits of the bowling alleys
on the first floor, and while the alleys
themselves are out of water 1t is
impossible to use them on account of
the water surrounding, which makes
the room almost naviguble with row
boat. 1t is not unlikely that 1t may
be transformed into a skating rink this
winter.
In 1878 the lake was even higher than
at the present time. An exception

The continued frosty weather OF the

Farmers Have Hard Time TO Harvest
tho Crops.
Special to Times Republican.
Clear Lake. Sept. 15.-There has
been almost two days continuous rain
here. The ground is SO wet one can not
get on it with a team. Much Of the
corn will have to be cut by hand, and
it will be impossible to harvest some OF
the buckwheat, except with scythe.
Many OF the cellars are half full of
water. The Calamus is over It's banks,
and Lime Greek is high. The prospect
for corn is fair If we do not have
frost too soon. Some Of the corn will
never mature. Many OF our farmers
are beginning to feel blue, for the
prospect is not very bright for the
renter who pays cash rent. Some of the
oats only went twelve bushels to the
acre. The hog cholera is putting in
its appearance and many Of the hogs
are dying.
