IOWA CROP BULLETIN
Condition in the State aS~Noted by
.. the Weather Bureau.

Des Moiues, Iowa, August Is -Ths
week has been unseasonably cool aud
cloudy, with excessive humidity.
The amount of rainfall was light ex-
oept in portions of the western and
central Districts. In few localities
some damage was caused by wind
and hail with excessive downpours
of rain.
Threshing and stacking were con-
siderably retarded by damp weather,
cloudiness and fog In some localf.
ties small grain in shock has been
somewhat damaged by excessive
moisture, In relation to the corn
crop the burden of all crop reports
is to the effect that the weather has
been too continuously cool and
cloudy for its normal advancement.
Unquestionably the crop as whole
has made some progress, bat its gem
orally belated condition and the con-
tinuance of cold nights and cloudy
days give just cause for anxiety as to
the final output. There is certainly
imminent need of warmer weather to
develop normally the early planted,
and TO produce anything of value in
the late planted fields. With good
old.time hot days and nights!for the
balance of the season a very liberal
amount of sound corn may, yet be
produced,
A very large hay crop has been Sc.
cured, and the pastures and meadows
are heavily burdened with forage
Reports are generally more favorable
as to late pototoes. Early apples
yield abundantly.

HELD TO GRAND JURY
EddyVille Horse Trader Must Stand
Trial in Court.

Ottumwa, Aug 17.-Harvey Pea
has been held by Justice Campbell
to await the action Of the grand jury
upon the charge Of assault with IN
tent to do great bodily injury. This
is the case in which William StJohn
and Harvey Pea, who were travelling
in a covered wagon some weeks ago,
became engaged in trouble with Mar
shall McGaugh and other citizens or
Eddyyille and which ended in the
shooting affair between the marshal
and st. John and the later shooting
of Pea while trying to escape.
At the trial Harvey Pea was put
upon the stand and told the story OF
his connection with the incidents that
lead up to the exchange Of shots be-
tween Marshal McGaugh and w. E.
ST. John and of the trouble which
followed in which he himself receiv-
ed a shot in the shoulder The dy-
ing statement Of st. John was also
introduced but it brought practically
no new features or testimony into
the trial.
In his statement St. John claims
that he asked Marshal McGaugh not
to shoot and that he had the target
rifle in his hands to use only in self
defense in case the marshal fred up
on him.
In his argument w. A. Work, at
torney for the defense, contended that
the evidence did not show that st.
John or Pea either one had done any
thing to warrant the marshal in orde-
ing the men out Of town. He stated
also that the marshal had no right
to order anyone out Of town. If the
party was guilty Of any offense il
was the duty of the officer to make
an arrest, but under no circum-
stances did he have the right to or
der anyone out Of town.
Attorney Work stated that the evil
dence showed that st. John had his
arm hanging by his side when he
was shot by the marshal and that it
was not in the position assumed IN
shooting. He declared that the ac.
tion of Pea in jumping from the wag-
on with an axe when surrounded by
the mob while trying to make his es.
cape was not with the intention OF
committing murder but with the idea
Of protecting himself from the mob.
Attorney w. r. Nelson, of oska'
loosa, and County Attorney Seneca
Cornell, for the prosecution, hold that
even if Pea did not do the shooting
he was just as guilty as st. John from
the fact that he was an accessory to
the crime. The question as to whetn'
~ ,or not the marshal had right to

cluded that there was sufficient eVl-
dence to warrant holding Pea to the

next term of court. The grand jury
will assemble on Tuesday, Aug IS,
and Pea will remain in the county jail
pending the disposal Of his case
which win probably be one Of the
first to be investigated.

Ants and Spiders as Food.

In some countries the people eat
ants. In Sweden they mix them with
rye and flavor the stew with brandy.
They make dish Of pressed ants, and
soften it with milk until il looks like
our chocolate.
In Africa the children roast large
white ants and eat them by the hand
tul like popcorn. Travellers who have
eaten them say that they taste like
almond paste.
Many people cook and eat the locust
They boil them in salty water. roast
them in oil or fry them in butter
Sometimes they dry and grind the To-
Gusts and make the powder into bread
10y adding little water.
The MeXicaus are fond of roasted
spiders. They also dry the eggs of a
certain water fly, grind them into -four
and sell il 10y the sack. This flour is
sweet aud much used for cakes.
These are only a few Of the many
queer things eaten by the boys and
girls of other lands. The children or
our own country often eat roasted
grasshoppers. and say that they taste
like parched horse corn or maize.
