TO BUY THE GAZETTE.
Anderson, Of Grundy Center, to Enter
Business at Cedar Fails.

| Waterloo, June IA we'll substanti-
| ated rumor comes from Cedar Fails
that Mr.. Anderson, formerly editor OF
the Grundy County Republican, is
about to purchase the interest of Z. A.
Snyder in the Cedar Falls Gazette It is
almost certain before many more issues
of that pioneer semi weekly are put
out the publishers will be Anderson &
Hurd.
Mr.. Anderson, when he disposed of
his Republican at Grundy Center, had
his eye on the Montezuma Republican,
J. w. Jarnigans paper, but for some
reason he comes to Cedar Falls instead,
where Mr.. Jarnigan has recently come
into possession Of the plant of the
Daily Record.
One reason why Mr.. Snyder contem-
plates disposing of his interest in the
Gazette is that his time is taken up
largely with his duties as postmaster
and other business interests. 1t is un-
derstood that when the change is eff
fected the paper will be greatly i'm
proved by the installation of typeset-
ting machine and other up to- date APP
pliances for rapid work.
The Gazette is in it's SO year. be-
ing one Of the oldest papers in the
county. 1t was antedated by the Wa
terloo Courier, started in 1858 by w. II.
Hartman and the merging of the Cedar
Falls Banner. issued by A. F. Brown.
and the State Register. issued in Wa
terloo by William Haddock, a brother of
Rev. G. w. Haddock, who was cow
ardly assassinated in Sioux City sever
al years ago. A nephew of these two
gentlemen is John Wilkins, an employee
of the Hurst grocery in this city. Mr.
Haddock had called his paper the Black
Hawk Courier.

VERY LITTLE CORN PLANTED.
Washington County Finds Rains and
Backward Season Discouraoino,

Backward Season Discouraging.
Special to Times-Republcan.
| Washington, June 11.-Crop condi-
tons in this section are rather late,
and owing to the excessive rainfall are
| likely to be more so. The excessive
rainfall of last year left the ground in
such packed condition that it plowed
up Very cloddy and was very difficult to
prepare for seed. The oats crop was
not as large as had been intended and
very little corn has been planted as
yet, and that which has been is in dam
ger of rotng. The extreme prec,pita-
ton still continues and great anxiety is
entertained in regard to crop condi-
tons. The rainfal!s for the past week
has been 1874 inches and this with the
extreme low temperature makes 1t
very unfavorable for a good corn crop.
The hay crop and pasture outlook Is
good and growth very rapid. Fall and
spring wheat acreage is light, owing to
extreme wet weather, of both last sea-
son and this. Garden stu.,s are plen-
tiful and of good quality. Should we
have good. bright sunshiny weather
Immediately following this heavy fa'l
of moisture things would revive TO a
great extent, and the output would be
good

Special to Times Republican
Humboldt, June 1.-The farmers of
this section are considerably cheered
with the apparent promise of better
weather. No rain has fallen in the past
forty-eight hours and the prospect is
somewhat brighter than at any time
for the past month. But a small per
centage Of the corn is planted and
probably to exceed one-third OF the
spring blowing Is yet undone 1t Is es-
timated that practically all the plant
ing will be completed in two weeks;
but the average of corn will be con
siderably reduced over last year ON ac-
count of the excessive rains, which
have made 1t impossible to prepare all
the ground intended for corn. The

Express Agent Fooled Out Of Gem
Worth $500.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, June IA story comes
from Traer which says the express agent
at Buckingham was fooled out of a
| $400 diamond by smooth CRATER, who
made his escape. An express package
arrived one day last week marked
Diamonds c. o. D. $780, subject to in
| spection." The package was addressed
to stranger. Next day stranger
came into buckingham and pretended
to be buying horses. He went to the
express Office and asked If there was
a package there for him, giving the
name on the precious bundle that had
given the agent a nightmare. The
agent produced the package. The
stranger said he would like to examine
the diamonds before paying the c. O.
D., and as inspection was permitted
the agent made no objections. The fell
low took out two diamonds, one loose.
the other in a ring, and looked them
over. He said his father would be in
that night and he would do nothing till
he came, SO the agent found himself
still in possession of the stones with
a suspicious stranger in town.
Half a dozen men volunteered to
help guard the box that night The
stranger failed to show up the next
day. and the express agent resolved
to end his misery by sending both dia-
monds back to Chicago which he did.
BY return mail came a letter from
Lotus & Co.. stating that paste dia-
mond had been substituted for the
loose one. The missing stone was val
ued at about $500. The express com
pany and Lotus & Co. had been noti-
fed of the stranger and they saw thru
the deal as soon as the package was
returned. A Pinkerton detective was at
once dispatched. He has been at
this week Investigating
the affair. If he has any clue he of
course keeps that to himself. H, is
yet here.
The fellow who got the stone I'M
held the imitation in his
hand and made the exchange while
looking at the diamonds, altho the
agent watched him.

corn already planted is looking well. as
is nearly all the small grain. The
acreage of wheat is noticeably less than
in former years. Grass is a heavy
crop and the pastures are in excellent
condition. The roads are we'll nigh i'm
passible in most parts of the county
Old settlers say that they have seldom
been worse. The rain thus far in May
has been $50 inches, as compared with
351 inches during the entire month last
year. With the possible exception of
1892. the Des Moines reached its high
