Iowa Wool Good.

Dubuque July 15.--Fred Rosenberg,
travelling buyer for the firm of Rosen-
berg Leiberman. wool merchant of
Milwaukee. was seen this morning and
asked concerning the wool prospects.
and the past season.
On account of the wet weather and
such little winds in Iowa, the crop OF
wool is of much better grade. The
crop is shorter than last year. a de-
crease of % per cent being noted. Last
year Mr.. Rosenberg purchased one
third million pounds of wool and this
year he could get but 100000. The wool
market is strong, however, and an adj
vance of % per cent has been made
since the opening. The price paid for
wool now is the highest in about five
years The prospect is good for a
healthy market.
The wool demand is increasing rap
idly owing to the resuming of opera
ton Of the Philadelphia Wooden Mills,
which had been closed on account of a
strike. In London the market is very
strong An increase of tx to 10 per
cent being noted on medium and coarse
since the opening while the market is
per cent lower on Merino or fine wool.
The wool season is nearing an end.
Nearly all the wool which is for sale
has been bought. Mr.. Rosenberg came
to this city to buy of j. j. Maggie, the
local wool merchant. Mr.. Maggie sold
several thousand pounds to him.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, July ia freight wreck
occurred on the Iowa Central three
miles east of Hampton Tuesday, at
about IL o'clock, delaying all trains
several hours. until the wreckage could
be cleared away.
Several cars were ditched and broken
to pieces. A car of grain was thrown
directly across the track and was cut
in two to remove it quickly from OBJ
structing the passage of trains. None
of the train crew were injured with the
exception of brakeman, who was rid
ing on fiat car and was thrown into
barb wire fence, cutting him severely.
Two young men who We're riding in a
box car of lumber had a narrow escape
from being crushed to pieces. When
the cars left the track the lumber slid
to the front end of the car, and part OF
the ends went thru the window in the
end of the car. The lumber going out
of the window prevented 1t from falling
to the roof when the car turned over,
leaving a space in one end of about a
foot between the roof and the lumber,
from which place these two men were
taken when the car was cut open TO
get them. 1t was very narrow escape
from instant death.

Mason City, July 15.--In the arrest

years ago for burglary at Thornton,
and sent to Anamosa where he lost one
finger, marking him with a peculiar
