Rockwell, August 4.-What might
easily have resulted in a most disastr-
Gus wreck on the Iowa Central occurred
on that line about o'clock this morn
ing one mile south of Cameron, small
station about eight miles north of here.
No. 4, the south bound passenger which
leaves Mason City at 5:45 O'Clock, ran
into a portion of the track which had
been washed out by the extremely
heavy rain Of early this morning and
the baggage car and one pair OF trucks
on the first coach went into the ditch.
Both the engine and tank stayed on the
track. No one was injured. The bag
gage car, after leaving the track, turned
over on its side in about two feet Of
water. The washout occurred at point
where the track is laid en- low ground,
and was swept by the water which
rushed along the right of way. For a
distance OF about two or three hundred
feet the track is more or less damaged
and twisted, and 1t will not be until
some time this afternoon or evening
that traffic can again be resumed on
this portion Of the line. The Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul wrecking outfit
from Mason City was secured and as
soon as possible the work OF clearing
the track was commenced. A work
train arrived on the scene from Mar
shalltown about 2 o'clock, bringing la
borers to replace the track. The train
was in charge of Conductor w. NJ
Young, and Engineer David Quinn,
both Of Marshalltown.

Iowa Falls, Aug. 4.-During the past
few months, repeated reports have
been published in various county pa
pers to the effect that there still existed
$1,000 in back taxes that had been un-
covered by the tax ferrets and no effort
was being made by the county treas
urer to collect the same. In reply to
these statements which reflected on the
administration of County Treasurer
H. S. Martin, Mr.. Martin has just is
reports and makes the following state
ments. He says that the books of the
county treasurer show only S6,3S7 I'M
collected taxes instead Of $4,000. He
claims that a larger part of this
amount cannot be collected on account
of it's being 1895 and 1896 taxes which
the courts hold cannot be recovered on
account of going back of the five year
period during which action may be
brought to recover these taxes This
leaves liable to collection s2a.5S and the
official maintains that repeated efforts
nave been made to locate the parties
liable for these taxes but having moved
out OF the county 1t is difficult to locate
the deliquents and that repeated regis
tered notices have been returned as
unclaimed" This statement is of
much interest in the county where it
appears efforts have been made in some
quarters to make political capital out of
the statement that $4,000 of unpaid
taxes were due the county of Hardin.

MitcheIIviIIe Girls viii Milk.

While at Cherokee recently Chairman
Cownie of the board of control closed a
deal for 40 acres, lying to the west of
the present institution farm and adj
joining it. The Cherokee farm now
consists of $50 acres. For the 12O acres
just bought, the board paid $50 an acre.
However, the state will get the rental
for 1903, amounting to SO per acre. The
purchase at Cherokee consumes all the
appropriations made for land for the
institutions by the last general assem-
bly,.
Mr. Cownie says more land is needed
at Eidora and AIitchellville. AT
Mitchellville the young women of the
industrial school are willing to milk the
COWS and make the butter for the in
stituton, provided cows enough can be
kept. Mr.. Cownie thinks q quarter
section should be added to the Mitch

can be kept SO as TO provide butter for

Iowa City, Aug. A CHASTITY find
was made not long ago in the loft
of a granary on the farm Of S. S.
Hostetler near Sharon Center. The
find was made by p f. Schwimley and
Rev. S H. Streyfeller The loft OF
the granary had not been Used for any
special purpose for some time. Severa.
articles Of small value had been thrown
in the loft ais q kind Of storge place.
The lott was cleaned out and the rub

was in this pile Of rubbish that the
bones We're discovered. The finding
OF the CHASTITY hand sticking thru the
pile of rubbish created no small ex-
citement on the farm and a complete
search was made of the granary and
other parts of the buildings for the
purpose of finding the other members
Of the skeleton. No other bones could
be found however.
1t is now the general theory that the
bones We're the property Of some doc

were placed in the loft Of this out of

MEN WHO THINK

Quick eating causes slow thinking. Peo-
ple who want to think quickly should eat
slowly. The minutes that are saved at
the dining table and lunch counter are
often lost in hours of stupid thought.
Rapidly chewed food inevitably leads to
dull wit.
One thing about Shredded Whole Wheat
Biscuit is that it must be chewed. 1t
calls for the exercise of the teeth and
saiiyary glands, and when the food
reaches the stomach it is in perfect form
for digestion and assimilation. Shredded
Wheat is light and porous. and every
mouthful is laden with nutrition for
blood. bone, nerve and brain. Being a
natural food It subserves the purpose for
which food is taken.
J. S. Cairns, st. Paul, Mimi, writes: nm

Des Moines. August 4.-The fruit
crop OF Iowa will not be a glorious one
If the reports now coming in from vari-
Gus counties are to be believed. Secre-
tary Wesley Greene of the state horti-
cultural society, has had reports from
about fifty counties, showing the state
Of the fruit at the close of July. The
reports show that apples will be less
than half crop, while grapes alone
promise to develop into something like
an average. The following are the fig
ures Mr.. Greene has obtained from the
reports, showing the percentage of av-
erage crops that may be expected.
AppieS-Summer, 46; fall, 40; winter
SO.
Plums-American, IT; japanese. s;
European. 10.
PearS-S.
Peaches-19.
Grapes-6S.
Mr.. Greene says 1t is improbable tina.
the reports of the remaining counties
will change the percentage greatly. He
says apples will be about the same as
in 1883 and less than half crop The
plums and pears are nearly failure.
Mr.. Greene says apples will be scarce
all through the west, and prices are
likely To be high. He says the eastern
states will have to supply the market
this season.

Park Board BUYS River FRONTAGE.

Negotiations were completed by Des
Moines board of park commissioners at
their monthly meeting Sunday, where
by a strip Of ground was secured, which
will extend the western boundary of
Union park to Sixth avenue The pur-
chase consists of between three and
four acres Of land lying along the river
front, east of Sixth avenue bridge,
which formerly belonged to the Des
Moines Ice Company. An attempt was
made to secure this ground about two
years ago, but the Des Mones Ice
Company did not wish to sell at that
time, and the ground was condemned.
For two years the matter has hung fire,
as the company would not agree to the
price suggested by the committee in
charge of the condemnation. During
the recent floods however, the ice house
belonging to the Des Moines Ice Com
pany, which was located on these
grounds, was destroyed, and the entire
Ice CROP which 1T contained, was lost.
Instead of rebuilding, the company
entered into negotiations with the
board of park commissioners, with the
result that the original price suggest
ed for the land was accepted by the
company, and at Sundays meeting the
transfer was completed, the purchase
price being $4,000.
