HAIL LOSS WAS IN MARROW BELT
Small Grain Harvested in Southern
Section and Work Progressing in
Other Portions-Heavy Hay Crop Of
Fine Quality-Minor Crops Doing
Well.


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July cS.-The Iowa sec
ton of the department of agriculture
has issued the following bulletin on
conditions during the week ending July
81:
In the larger part of the state ideal
weather conditions prevailed for har-
vesting hay and grain. and fine progress
has been made during the week. The
greater part Of a very heavy crop Oh
fine quality has been secured and most
of it without damage by rainfall. In
the southern districts the harvest is
practically completed, and threshing is
in progress. In the northern districts
the work is well advanced, with vary
ing reports on the bulk and quality OF
the small grain crops. The corn crop
has made substantial gains in all dis
tricts. though in many localities In the
southern and eastern counties copious
showers would be beneficial, as the
more advanced portion has reached the
caring stage.
On the afternoon OF the Goth a series
of very heavy hailstorms swept across
the state on direct line from Lyon
and Osceola to Taylor and Ringgold
counties, causing great destruction to
crops in their pathway which in come
portions was six miles in width. This
visitation was the chief drawback in
one of the best weeks of the season.
While the loss falls heavily upon two
or three thousand farms. yet the aggre-
gate of total destruction involves a
small percentage of the products of the
state.
The minor crops are doing fairly we'll.
The markets are being we'll supplied
with early apples and garden truck.

Oskaloosa, July 2S.-The London
Suectator OF July II, copy Of which

item in reference to Colonel AL. Swain,
of this city that is of unusual interest.
Colonel Swain is now G consul in Eng
land and as such was a conspicuous
figure in the reception recently given
the American squadron at Portsmouth.
In speech, he emphasized the good
feeling between American and England
as is told in the following from the
Spectator, which, by the way. is the
chief political literary journal Of Eng
land:
The American squadron, commanded
by Rear Admiral Cotton, which ar
rived on Monday at Portsmouth, has
met with very cordial reception. On
Wednesday the mayor and leading
citizens entertained 500 American and
300 British sailors and marines at
luncheon and striking speeches were
made by Mr.. SWAIN the United States
consul, and Lieutenant Commander
Wood. Mr.. Swain, after declaring that
the president could never forget that
when Americans wanted friends Eng
land was the one nation which stood
by them, related striking incident
that occurred at Monteyideo during the
war with Spain. They were expecting
the Oregon. they knew she would BE-
short of coal, and they could not buy
a pound of fuel. At this juncture a
Scotsman came to his house and then
cut the painter AS it turned sell ne
had 500 tons on board and he pitied
the American captain who would not
put his ship alongside, take the bags
of coal, and then "cut the painter.
AS it turned out, the Oregon did not
call, but such an act Of friendship
which defied law and order, touched
his heart
Lieutenant Commander Wood,
speaking in the same strain, observed
that the time Of danger and peril ac-
centuated the ties of kinship. In China

diton-other News From Over the
State.

Des Moines, July 2S.-In the report
for the biennial period ending June ~
1903, filed with the board of control by
Superintendent H. w. Rothert, of the
institution for the deaf at Council
Bluffs, it was urged tie compulsory
education law of the state be so modt-
fed that the provision as to attendance
at school include the deaf or those
whose hearing will not permit them 10
attend the public schools.
Superintendent Rothert enters into
this question in detail and holds de-
fective children should no more be
barred from the benefits OF education
than those described hy the present
compulsory education statute and In
Guided in it's workings. as of proper
mental and physical condition. lie
points out the benefits OF education to
detectives, which are even greater thar
those accruing to normal children
Their cherries isolation is dissolved by
it, he says. and they are in many cases
made self-supporting. He points Out
much of burden Is lifted from the
taxpayers by the education Of the deaf
and those who would otherwise be de-
pendent on state charity.
The report tells Of the losses sus-
tanned by the fire Of May 9, 1902. 1t Is
recommended that two-story fireproof
detached buildings be erected. The ex-
act estimates OF the appropriations
needed are not given, but the following
buildings, it is advised. should be put
up: Administration building, dor
m'tory for boys and one for girls. a
small pupils cottage, hospital, dining
rooms and kitchen. a chapel and Ii
brary building. The estimate of the
cost OF these is left with the board OF
control. It Is also estimated there is
needed the sum OF $4,000 for repairs
and $1,000 for books for the library. Ii
lis also urged that appropriations be
made to replace the clothing and other
property lost by the teachers and OH
GERS in the recent fire. At that time, as
Mr.. Rothert points out, the teachers
and officers heroically neglected their
own effects and gave all their time to
looking after the children.
The report shows that on June 80
there were 253 children in the school
The health of the school has been re-
markable. there having been no death
for eight years.
