rnv,r CROP HARD HIT.
Yield Of Apples, chsrrlss and Peaches
Promises 20 He Small.

v = .
Des Moines. May 1.-The unseason-
able weather OF Wednesday night ID
expected to prove disastrous to the
fruit crop OF Iowa. A temperature OF
% to 80 degrees is considered kliling
for fruit blossoms and Davenport ana
Keosauqua were the only stations
making corn and wheat reports yes
terday morning showing higher
minimum temperature during the pre-
ceding twenty.four hours and their
minimum was 30 degrees. The gen.
eral opinion prevails that the crop OF
apples, peaches and cherries In Iowa
will be the smallest In ten years.
Secretary Wesley Greene OF the
State horticultural society sent out
letters yesterday asking reports from
his correspondents as to conditions.
Pending the receipt OF replies ne
would not express definite opinion
as to tho result Of Wednesday nights
frost. II would not say" he said yes
terday afternoon, "that the fruit was
all killed. 1t was probably very much
injured. Much will depend upon the
conditions Thursday night. II heavy
frost occurs Iowa fruit interests will
suffer severely
A dispatch received from Council
Bluffs last night said fruitmen OF
Mills, Montgomery, Fremont. Page
and Pottawattamie counties today
have been about the most downcast
men that It has been possible to find
in q long time. The storm OF sleet
and snow which began falling at 6
o'clock Wednesday night continued to
fall till after o'clock Thursday
morning and 1t grew colder all the
time till the snow that fell froze and
stuck to whatever 1t struck. Trees
were covered with ice and 1t is esti.
mated fully IS per cent OF all fruits
that were at all advanced, have been
killed. Apples, peaches and cherries
were probably the worst sufferers and
Indications are that apples and cher.
ries will be the shortest crop they
have been in ten years.

lockwood HAS BAD FIRE.
Three Business Buildings Destroyed
At Loss Of $4,000.

Edgewood, April 3O.--The most
disastrous fire in the history Of Edge
wood started yesterday morning at
2:2O in James & Sons general store
and before 1t could be checked three
buildings had been reduced to ruins,
the fine brick in which the James
store was located and buildings on
either side of 1t. One OF these was
owned and occupied by DR.. Newman,
who saved most Of his library and in
struments. The building on the other
side was vacant on the lower floor,
but the second floor was occupied by
Schaefter, whose loss was total, while
the building also was entirely con-
sumed.
Edgewood is a town Of $50 inhabit-
ants, and there was no means OF
fighting the flames save by the bucket
brigade. Practically every man,
woman and child turned out but the
best that could be done was to save
the adjoining buildings. At one time
the office of the Edgewood Journal
was on fire and only by the hardest
kind of work was it saved.
The loss on the James building and
contents In csciraetcu at $4,000 and
the total loss is not far from $4,000.
There was not q dollar of insurance
and the IRE loss will fall heavy upon
the little town. The cause of the fire
Is unknown.
