st. Louis, June 19.-August Wilhelms
Of Red Bud, ILL.,, heard about gold on
his farm in 1851. He discovered it by
accident week ago and now he has
bought drills and turned miner.
When went to the war my mother
said there was gold on the place." said
Wilhelms, 'and after came back she
often told me about it. On her death
bed she said: August, don't forget to
clear the hill southeast of the house,
for know you will find gold
That was three years ago. A week
ago August E. Wilhelms, jr., started
out to make firewood of the timber on
the hill. While clearing it away his
ak struck rock, which glittered as ii
rolled into the sunshine.
Il guess this is grandmother's gold
said Wilhelms, and he carried the pieces
of shattered rock to his father. The
latter took them to a jeweer in Red
Bud. The jeweler said there was gold
in the rock, but he did not know how
much.
Then the elder Wilhelms bought a
drill and began work in the bed OF
Black creek, running through his farm
near the hill He filed a shot bag with
sand brought up by the drill and sent
it to Regis Chauvenet, st. Louis as
sayer. The sand assayed one ounce OF
silver and sos ounces of sd to the
ton. At this rate the sand is worth
$1O210 a ton.

Washington, June 1S.-The weather
bureaus weekly crop report says:
THE week ending June Is was alb
normally cool in nearly all districts
east Of the Rocky mountains, the min
imum temperatures from the 10th to
the 18th throughout the central val
leys and southern states being the low
est on record for the second decade of
June; and heavy frcsts were general
in the upper Missouri valley, with
light frosts as far south as Tennessee.
Under these conditions the growth Of
vegetation has been slow, but with the
very general absence OF rain or light
local showers in the central valleys,
the much needed cultivation has made
favorable progress.
1.-THE long continued and disastrous
drought in the New England and
northern portion of the Middle Allan
tic states has been wholly relieved, be-
ing succeeded in some sections by
flood conditions; and the widespread
forest 1frrs in these districts are ex-
tnguished While the planting and
replanting and cultivation Of corn in
the central valleys have been vigor-
ously pushed, considerable planting
remains unfinished in the northern
district. Corn is unusually late and
has made very slow growth I'M

HULL SAYS HE'S In LINE
Quoted as Declaring in Washington
That the Iowa Idea Is Becoming
the Universal Idea.

Washington, June 17.--Representa-
house committee on military affairs,
called on President Roosevelt today. tt
was said some weeks ago that Hull
would fail to be renominated for con-
greSs on account Of the differences Of
opinion on the tariff question between
him and the majority of his constitu-
ents. Captain Hull said, however. that
the reports had been exaggerated, and
In his district he was satisfied with
the prospects. "You will hear less and
less objection to the Iowa idea In re-
gard to the tariff" said Captain Hull.
THE Iowa idea is becoming the uni.
versal idea. Look at the action of the
Ohio convention. The feeling in Iowa
is not different than the feeling in oth-
er parts of the country"

soldiers, by their fighting, helped to ac-
complish the placing Of this country in
the forefront, not only in war, but in
peace and all that peace means, in ev-
erything to make citizenship and to
make the country the pride of our
land and the pride Of the world.

II thank you for being here with
your staff and others representing the
G. A. R., and l need hardly assure you
