ruined wholly or In part by protracte

ruined wholly or In part by protracted
cold weather.
The hope of the farmers and the
leaders in commercial centers rests on
the fact that only thre, times during
the month of September in the last
twenty-five years has killing and gem
eral frost occurred. Bu. a fourth re-
currence of such a calamity now would
entail the enormous loss of millions.
Snow was reported last night in
Wyoming and the southern and west
ern sections of South Dakota. The
temperature as observed at Cheyenne
was 80 degrees, 3s at Lander, Wyo.,
and 40 at Denver Col There were In
dicaions last night of frost in Ne
braska, and there was fear of freezing
in the western part of Iowa and Kan
sas. In Illinois and Wisconsin the un-
settled condition of the weather indi-
Gated that there would be no frost un-
til tonight. when 1t looked as If large
part of the corn producing region
would suffer.
The lower lake region is expected to
be affected today by a storm, central
to Alabama, causing high winds and
rain In Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama
and Florida.
Snow fell at Chadron, Neb., yesterday
morning, and a cold wave is sweeping
all over the state. In the northern
part the farmers are so badly fright :
ened that many OF them will build
bonfires around their cornfields at night
in an effort to save their crops from the
cold. In some portions of Nebraska
not 25 per cent or the corn crop has
matured, and If frost comes tonight
the loss will be enormous. The worst
weather prevails in the north and west
sections.
The present uncertain conditions OF
the weather are puzzling not only to the
layman but the weather man. With
every indication of a blizzard one day
which is followed by a series of warm
days and indications of quite the re-
verse, one can not tell what to ex-
pect," said Forecastar Walz yester
day.
sunday night the indications We're
favorable for a heavy frost, but con-
tinued eloudiness averted it. Frost is
now predicted soon, not only in Chi
cago and vicinity but thruout the corn
belt.
In speaking of the weather conditions
thruout the western states, Forecaster
WalZ, of the local weather bureau,
predicted much colder weather.
Railroad officials share the present
alarm. The hopes OF great crop in
the northwest have been destroyed al
ready by excessive rains and snow
storms. and If the corn crop follows the
same course. the railroads will not be
able to keep up their earnings to what
they have been heretofore. While mer-
chandise traffic ontinues extremely
good that is also bound to fall off II
the farmers are not able to spend
money as freely as they have been do
ing
In the best years the corn acreage
not out of the way of injury by frost
at this season would be large. This
year the conditions have been unusual
and the area susceptible to serious in
jury is enormous.

The school paper published here, the
Midland Schools. has the following on
the taking Of the educational depart
ment out of politics:
Previous to the late republican con-
vention, the leading party papers of the
state published editorials which advo-
Gated that the state superintendency
be taken out Of politics. and urged that
there be no change In that Office at
this time. The agitation Of educators
and the efforts of the party press We're
without effect The Office was used
for trading purposes by the politicians
with no thought as to the educational
welfare of the state. An aspirant for
judicial honors and his friends rnanipu-
lated the state superintendency SO as
to further personal ambition regard
less of the effect on the schools They
did not inquire which man would make
the best superintendent. The delegates
did not vote for the man of their choice
The counties Were voted in job lots by
the party leaders, who had no other
end than further political favors to
their district. And thus state super
intendents are nominated in Iowa"

Enecial TO Times s-RepublicaK.
Des Moines, Sept 15-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin, Is
sued today, follows:
The past week has been unseason-
ably cool. wet and cloudy. The aver
nre temperature was but little below
normal, but the large excess OF rain
faIl and general prevalence of cloudi-
ness made 1t unfayorable for rapid ma
kuring Of crops and farming operations.
Threshing has been delayed. and grain
An shock and stack has suffered very
considerable damage.
Reports indicate that corn has made
some advancement toward maturity,
hut not as rapidly as seems necessary
for the safety of the bulk of the crop.
Early planted corn Is reported to be
mostly beyond danger of harm by frost
sns the northeast district, and in ia :
vored localities In the southeast dis
trict: but for the state at large the
percentage Of well matured corn is as
yet relatively small. The bulk OF the
crop needs two or three weeks OF good
,fpening weather The conditions have
been favorable for pasturage, which
was never better at this time of the
year. Apples and potatoes are about
az previously reported.
