a banker Of this city as trustee of the

it is tasseled out it will never sprout

AssAlLs TOWN INCORPORATION.
James Griffin Alleges Sheldon Incor-
poration Was ILLEGAL,


Shddon, July 23.-James Griffin,
who stubbornly retained and farmed
his homestead, of eighty acres, while
the town of Sheldon has grown up on
all sides Of his farm, has now filed in
the district court a, sensational petition
against the city in which he attacks
the validity of the town incorporation.
The petition alleges that In ISIS when
the town was incorporated, five COM
missioners appointed to form the In
corporation, were appointed by the
clerk of the circuit court instead of
by the judge thereof, as by law re-
CURED: that attempts to lega,lize the
incorporation by special act were made,
but that the act did not take effect un-
Til publication thereof In the Sheldon
Mail and Iowa State Register; that
publication in the latter paper has
never been made; that afterwards
when it was sought to extend the city
limits to include the eighty acres owned
by Griffin there was no resolution
thereof passed by the town council, the
four weeks notice of publication was
not given, as required by law, and the
election subsequently held to vote on
the proposition was void for tile further
reason that the electors Of the fncor-
poration as it then existed were priv
ileged to vote thereon instead of those
of the territory sought to be, attached
being also permitted to vots' on the
proposition. The ordinances recently
passed by the council ordering side
walks across the eighty acres are also
attacked for the above reasons and
an injunction is prayed to3rtastrain the
city and it's officers and agents from
trespassing on the land or, building the
sidewalks.

Britt, July 23.-The farmers In this
vicinity are just beginning to harvest
the small grain, and from general re-
ports around this place, crop of about
two thirds may be expected. Very dit
tie of the crop has been laid flat on
account of the recent rain and wind,
and there will be no difficulty in har-
vesting If no more rain is received. The
corn is doing fine and If the pres
ent fine weather continues, we may
expect an excellent crop. Many of
the fields which were planted late. can
of course amount to nothing but fod-
der, but on the side hills and in places
where the land has been we'll drained,
We are looking for an average crop.
Prospects are not flattering on low
ground, but on high ground the or
binary crop will be harvested.

FARMERS SAVE A BRIDGE.
Tree Lodges Against Abuttments and
Is Chopped Away-Great Destruc-


Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, July 2S.-At great personal
risk a party. of farmers led by j. II.
Cavanaugh saved Dubuque county's
$4,000 Paper Mill bridge over the Ma
quoketa river. A large tree had lodged
against the abuttments during the re-
cent storm and was cut away just in
time to prevent debris piling up so as
to receive the fun force of the water
and sweep the bridge away.
The reports of the wreck caused by
the heavy storms in the county have
rot been eXagg rated. Members of the
board who returned last night from the
southwestern part of the county say
that numerous bridges were washed
from their foundations and that the
torrent was so high that no trace of
the bridges can be found owing to
the fact that they We're washed into
the bigger rivers of which the county
streams are tributary.
Persons living in the vicinity of
Worthington and Fillmore say that the
water rose as high as 1t did in 1876,
when Rockdale was flooded, and that
for hours they were apprehensive lest
their homes would be carried away.
The Johns creek, which has its source
three miles east of Worthington, was
two feet deep on the floor of the Fill
more bridge. In view of this great
wreckage the board of supervisors are
busy letting contracts to replace the
bridges and to make needed repairs
Members of the board estimate the
damage done by the storms in the
southwestern portion alone at $4,000
They hope to have the bridges in place
within a week or so.
In speaking of the damage done Sup
ervisor Sullivan. who was one of
party who visited the storm swept dis
tricts said: II was incorrectly reported
when the statement was attributed to
me to the effect that the damage done
by the heavy rains was not heavy. The
fact of the matter is that wreck and
ruin are everywhere to be seen. Farm
ers say that the rain was the heaviest
they have experienced in years. We
spent several days looking over the
ground with a view of getting the
bridges in place and 1t is my impression
that it will cost the county at least
$4,000 to repair the damage
Speaking of the crops the supervisors
say that they will be heavy with the
exception of oats, which will fall short
OF what was expected.

Natives Of Central America are in
veterate users of pimento tobacco.
which they make from dried pimento
berries, or allspice. 1t invariably gives
the smoker sore throat and often
causes cancer of the tongue. The ma

peculiar manner by the smoke from
the dried leaves Of the camphor plant.
The smoker trembles with fright at

sorts Of words which do not in the
