GIVES AWAY SECRETS.
TA1reIia Santinei

The rural telephone has it's advan-
tages, but it has habit of giving away
secrets which sometimes makes folks
think it is not an unmixed blessing
A party in the country 'phoned an
Aurelia man that he could buy couple
thousand bushels of corn at a certain
place about five miles out of town. He
needed that corn the worst kind, but
so did another fellow who was i'm
proving his time by listening at his
phone 10 see If he could hear anything
to his advantage. The message in re-
gard to the corn interested him, and
although he had two miles farther TO
drive than the Aurelia man, he got
there in time to head off the fellow to
whom the message was sent. The NOR
al of this is that If you. get pointer by
rural telephone, don't sit down and
act as though you had a ,cinch. but get
hump on yourself, otherwise you are
apt to get left.

prospects are not so bright, and the
present indications do not point to over
fifty per cent yield. This is along the
low country that was overlooked by the
high water and was under water for a
longer period than much of the other
territory. There are some very good
stands of corn near Belmond. but
great many will produce nothing much
better than fodder unless there is a late
fall. Oats all along the line north are
not so rank as usual. and heading out

less than last season. Taken all around
the crops are going to be much better
than last year. Everything south of
Marshalltown in Iowa. promises good
average crop, and the conditions are
the same east, clear to the river. If
the crops of the state are as promising
as they are along the line of the Cen
trail, there will be no need of worrying
over the lack of good times" next fall.

TO REVISE TIME CARD.
Iowa Central Figuring o, an Important
Story City Branch Change.

Iowa Central Figuring o, an Important
Story City Branch Change.
The Iowa Central Is contemplate an
early change of time on the Story City
branch. fact that will be of interest to
the patrons of the line who have not
been at all satisfied with the morning
train service from the west, which was
put into effect few months ago. A
mixed train formerly reached the city
at $50 a. M. which gave residents of
the branch a chance to visit MARSHALL
town, transact little business. and
leave for home again at about 10
o'clock When the last card went into
effect the train was not scheduled to
reach here until IL o'clock. This
also did away with every con-
nection of the forenoon, even to the
Central's own main line trains in both
directions. AS result the branch
passenger business has been falling off,
and it is likely that an arrangement
more nearly like the old time, at any
rate a correction with the morning
trains on the Central. Northwestern
and Great Western, will be made. 1t
has been necessary for those living near
ST. Anthony and Gearing. who wanted
to take forenoon train out of this city.
on any road. to drive to State Center
or Colo and take the Northwestern.
The more recent time card has also in
convenienced a great many students
who live along the Story City branch.
who attended school here during the
day time and like to return to their
homes in the evening. Arriving here
at II o'clock makes it too late to an
swer roll call. and many have to go to
the unnecessary expense of remaining
in the city from Monday morning until
Friday night.

NEW WELL A SUCCESS.
Pilgrim Hotel Has Colfax Water of Its
Own in a New Artesian Well.

The new artesian well that was sunk
several months ago on the Pilgrim
Hotel Company's property, was placed
into service yesterday and is great
success The we'll is $50 feet in depth,
and the water was obtained afterdrilling
thru solid rock The water rises to
within about thirty five feet from the
surface, and continued pumping does
not affect the supply in the least. An
analysis of the water shows it to be
absolutely pure and very similar to that
obtained at the springs at ColfaN. altho
there is not quite so much of the min
eral taste. The water is to be used en-
tfrely for drinking purposes

was so threatening at Des Moines that
some did not care TO take the chances.

Given Sufficient rain to secure the
proper termination Of the seed in the
spring. It is entirely possible to raise
almost any sort Of vegetable or root
crop by continuous cultivation Of the
surface Of the soil without another
drop OF rain until the harvest is ready
and the crop matured. We have seen
this done with cabbagea turnips, toma-
toes, potatoes and sweet corn by sur
face cultivation Of the crop every three
days during a fifty day midsummer
drought, the crop seemingly never suf-
fering for want Of moisture.

BOYS NARROW ESCAPE
Little Cyril Russell, Aged 6, Gets Hold
Of Live Wire and is Slightly Burned

Wire.
Little Cyril Russell, aged years. son
of Mr. and Mrs Clarence RUSSELL Of
LOG North Fourth street, had a mar
row escape from being electrocuted
this forenoon at 10 o'clock while play
ing at the corner of Third and Fremont
streets with a number of children. The
little fellow jumped up and caught a
wire that was fastened to pole, act
ing as sort of brace to the span. The
wire was charged with electricity, but
fortunately not to sufficient extent to
prove fatal

ticed him almost before he screamed,
as they could see the muscles of his
legs contracting. He was able to let
go his hold on the wire and when work
men, nearby, reached him, he was lying
on the ground. The boy suffered quite
little from the shock, and his hands
were slightly burned. The fact that
the wire was charged is due, it is said,
to the street car trolley having been
temporarily showed up in order to allow
the moving of a house at III North
Third The trolley was resting against
Il span wire, and from that the guy,
or brace wire that the boy got hold of,
was charged, The workmen who were
moving the house claim to have warned
the children of the danger.

TURN SILVER INTO GOLD.

Says a Philadelphia telegram
By this time next year Rudolph
M. Hunter will be converting
silver into gold at the rate of
tens of thousands of dollars
day.
The inventor, or alchemist as
he might be called, was seen at
his Office and talked freely of his
subject.
"Some time this fall" he said,
II expect to build plant that
will cover half square and cost
100000. When this plant gets
in working order thousands upon
thousands of dollars worth of
gold can be turned out daily.
Associated with me in this
enterprise are about two dozen
of the most prominent and con-
servative business men in this
city.
1T can readily be seen what a
calamity it would be for the Sec
ret to become public property.
One dollars worth of silver be-
comes forty dollars worth OF
gold. The dumping of an enor-
nous output of gold upon the
world might mean arrangement
of the entire economic fabric.
Il am planning to make an ap-
paratus largely automatic, ar
range it so that a few men can
run an enormous plant by simp,
ly attending to few things. The
innermost room, where the real
secret process will be operated
will be in my personal charge"

SNAKES POSE FoR SCULPTURE.

Snakes and venomous reptiles
pose for a new kind of sculpture
that will be one of the features
of the United States Govern
ment's Museum at the Worlds
Fair.
The snakes differ from the
beautiful models who posed for
much of the statuary that adorns
the Worlds Fair grounds in that
they will not willingly submit to
having their charms displayed to
the populace. Neither can they
be bribed. 1t is only when they
are overcome by their keepers
and placed under the influence
chloroform that the snake sculp-
tors can accomplish their tasks.
The snake casts when seen al
the Worlds Fair will be more
nearly true to life than if they
were fashioned in clay.
