It b possible for rmers to

Florida. The individual can afford IL

pie that he repairs fences and build
ings, ct pays me- And a land
owner ought to feel as much shame,
even guilt, before the general public

or over choked-up sluice along his
premises as he ought over neglected
cattle OF a display of filth.
1t is not necessary to wait for the
woodworking season to come. The
most profitable, common sense work
can be put in little at time, if at
the right time. Drainage is the be-
ginning and the ending OF the whole
matter, if roads are to be roads and
not sloughs. Watering troughs and
hillside springs are common causes of
standing water, yet it is very simple
matter to direct the water flowing
from them in the way it should go. A
stone, loose board, a chunk of soil
washed down against the end of a
sluice may choke it up till it is worse
than nothing. Five minutes work
would send the water rushing through
its proper channel. It is not IN
common to see water following the
wheel rut for rods, when man with
half an eye can also see that mere
cutthrough the ridge at the edge of
the road would lead the water into the
ditch, perhaps down bank.
Dropping into a bad hole or soft
place a few superfuous stones now
and then to keep the water out would
work q double-headed blessing to all
passing that way. Heaving out few
stubborn old stones from the track
would work detriment to the black
smith and wagon maker perhaps, but
big saving to the farmer. If all such
patching were thus we'll kept up, the
yearly toll of public service would
count more and more toward the good
roads Of which all are dreaming and
talking. This view of the subject is
no more than one feature of practical
farming, Intelligent economy, a mere
looking out for number one, no mat

SOME INSIDE HISTORY.
The Failure of a New York Firm
Only an Incident.

Des Moines, July 2S.-The failure
OF E. S. Hooley & Co., in New York,
yesterday, is looked upon in local cir.
Giles as significant of retaliation upon
the part of the Rock Island and also
a master move in securing a valuable
acquisition. The failure of Mr.. Hoo.
ley, together with that of Mr.. Stowe
and company, allows the Des Moines
& Fort Dodge railway to revert to the
Rock Island.
1t will be remembered that Edwin
S. Hooley G Co., by a smooth manipu-
lation Of the stock exchange two
years ago, secured controlling inter
est of the line which is being operat-
ed by the Rock Island under lease
which expires in 1905. The move on
the part of Mr.. Hooley came unex-
pectedly to the railraod company, as
they were planning to quietly absorb
it when the lease expired. With this
end in view, they had secured about
100000 of outstanding bonds a.
gainst the road. They did not believe
that anyone else desired the road, and
hence made no move to secure the
stock, which was worthless as an in
yestment, no interest being paid upon
it.
The line is a valuable acquisition,
as it is a connecting link between the
main line and the part of the system
in the northwest. 1t is the short
route and gives them a connection
with the main line in Des Moines,
which is another desirable feature.
Mr.. Hooley, however, recognizing
that the line was of great value to
the Rock Island, silently made coup
of the stock and soon controlled the
vote. Two years ago, he elected
three Of his associates as directors Of
the road and this year ousted the
others favorable to the Rock Island,
replacing them with his own support
ers. This enabled him to vote the
sale Of the road whenever they might
have the opportunity. The Rock Is
land had been circumvented and at
once set about to regain control.
According to the lease which the
Rock Island holds. SO 1t is claimed,

terest on the Indebtedness and the
taxes, the question Of whether they
pay dividend on the stock being de-
termined by the earnings Of the road.
The dividends have been small and
few. Thus the road had one advan-
tage over Mr.. Hooley. He has his
money tied UP, about S3,00O,000, ana
was getting no returns. Although he
was president of the Evansville &
Terre Haute road, still his capitas
was limited. According to the story
which is told here, the Rock Island
recently began secretly manipulating
the stocks in which Mr.. Hooley ana
his confederate, E. L. Stow, were In
terested. Mr.. Hooley was game but
not expecting anything out of the ord
mary run Of the board, was outgener-
aled.
1t is taken for granted that Mr..
Hooley will have to dispose of his
stock in the Des Moines C Fl. Dodge,
This is all that the Rock Island de-
sires and win Immediately secure con
troll Of it, leaving no doubt as to who
shall manipulate the road.

TWO NARROW ESCAPES
Close Call For Life of Man and a
Big Plate Glass.

Rob Sopher met with a serious &C
cident in runaway last evening at
about $3.50 o'clock. He had unhitch-
ed his horse from the park railing and
had just stepped into the buggy. The
horse threw his tail over the lines and
made dash and plunge and was be-
yond the control of the young man.
He could do nothing with the animal.
The horse was little less than frantic.
He went straight north from the park
railing, crossed the street and took a
bee line for the entrance of the Huber
& Kalbach hardware store. AS the
animal struck the cement sidewalk
with his shoes he slipped and fell
heavily on his side and the shaft of
the buggy struck the sill of the large
plate glass window, making a deep
depression in the wood work. Had IL
struck above this sill by the fractional
part of an inch the big plate glass
must have been shattered. The
horse lay on his side with his heels
mixed up in the window frames Of
the basement opening but each time
he moved his feet came in contact
with wood work and no glass was
broken.
The animal was pulled from the
sidewalk and then regained his feet
The cause Of his fright is unknown.
A lady passing Huber & Kalbach's
at the time just cleared the place as
the runaway plunged onto the walk
and fell Young Sopher was quite
badly hurt. being thrown out upon
his head and receiving q severe cur
on the scalp. His hip was also hurt.

GOOD OLD s. TIME"
That's When Kansas School Marms
Must Do Counting.

Topeka, Kan, July 2S.-Courting
and marrying by school teachers in
Kansas during their terms of school
is to be prohibited. School boards in
a dozen counties have so decreed, and
yesterday the school boards of Chau-
tauqua county met at Sedan and de-
cided they would not employ teachers
unless they signed contract not to
court" or marry during the school
year. State Superintendent Dayton
has been appealed to for a decision
that viii stop the interruption of the
schools by courtship and marriage of
teachers during the school term. He
was unable to do anything, so the
school boards have decided to take a
hand in the matter.
The boards are now making the sal
airy contingent upon the teachers OF
both sexes refraining from having
company" and from marrying.
A dozen women teachers of Meade
county have protested against this
new reform on the grounds that It is
an abridgement Of personal liberty
and that II will eventually foist upon
the state an army Of unmarriegeable
old maids. There are 1000 women
teachers In Kansas.

The first of the series of talks on
health was given by Mr.. Warman Sun
day at the Y. NJ. c. A., and at its close
the audience enthusiastically offered
the speaker a vote of thank. Mr..
Warman at this meeting simply open
ed the subject, presenting few basic
principles. These will be followed on
four consecutive Sundays with hi-Is
on eating, drinking, bathing, breath
ing, and the following Sunday he will
conduct a Question Box. His advice
is so simple, his explanations of the
results that will follow are so clear
and convincing, that every one feels
that he can adopt the work. The
speaker, kept the audience laughing
half the time, with his clean wit, max
ing the time so pleasant that one man
remarked that he forgot that it was
hot day."

THE NEW AUTOMOBILE.
Car viii Garry Five People and vii
Go a Mile a Minute.

The new automobile purchased in
chicago by Mr.. w. A. Mcneil is one
of the famous "Winton" touring cars
1t is one of the best and finest ma
chimes upon any market to-day. The
motor is a double gasoline engine of
twenty horse power and is sufficient
to drive the car up any hill or over
any common obstruction.
The car is provided with aecommo-
dations for five people. The rear
seats were removed at Chicago and
sent to Oskaloosa by freight, as Mr..
Mcneil had to carry considerable
bulk of supplies. He said he aver
aged twenty miles per hour on the en-
tire trip, but the possibilities Of the
speed of the machine are compare
lively unlimited and it will speed up
to mile per minute.
Mr.. McNeill was accompanied from
Chicago by Mr.. Renich, an expert
chauffeur and machinist in the employ
of the Winton company.
This is the third machine that Mr.!
Mcneil has owned. The first was a
small and light "runabout," driven by
electricity from storage batteries.
The possibilities of this machine were
limited and M. McNeill discarded 1t
for steam carriage. The gentle
man had considerable trouble with
this Second machine, however, and its
capacity for work was not as great
as he desired. Hence, he has now
the best that can be had on the mar
ket. ~. .y ...

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

Des Moines, July 28.-In the larger
part of the state ideal weather condi-
lions prevailed for harvesting hay and
grain, and fine progress has been
made during the week. The greater
part of a very heavy hay crop of fine
quality has been secured and most OF
it without damage by rainfall. In
the southern districts the harvest is
practically completed, and threshins
is in progress. In the northern dis
tricts the work is well advanced with
varying reports as to the bulk ano
quality of the small grain crops. The
corn crop has made substantial gains
in all districts, though in many local
tiles in the southern and eastern coun
ties copious showers would be bene
fetal, as the more advanced portion
has reached the caring stage.
On the afternoon of the goth a ser
les of very heavy hailstorms SWEEP
across the state on direct line from
Lyon and Osceola to Taylor and Ring
gold counties, causing great destruc
ton to crops in their pathway, which
in some portions was six miles II
width. This visitation was the chic
drawback in one Of the best weeks o.
the season. While the loss falls heav
lily upon two or three thousand farms
yet the aggregate of total destruction
involves a small percentage of the
products of the state.
The minor crops are doing fairl!
well. The markets are being we'll sup
piled with early apples and garden
truck.

TWO BIG BARNS BURN
A Hot Fire in West Part of Town
This Afternoon.

An alarm about half past two o.
clock this afternoon called the fire
department to the residence of John
w. Starlin, owned by the Siebel es-
tate, No. Oil High avenue west. The
barn on the lot and that of the lot
adjoining, owned by Robert Rosbor'
ough, 912 A avenue west, were al.
most wholly destroyed.
The fire was caused by Master Ray
Starlin playing with matches on the
west side of the Starlin barn. He
gathered together a lot Of hay that
had been dumped out and fired it.
The hay burned up quickly and set
the building on fire. The flames
spread to the Rosborough place and
burned with great rapidity, making
a monster blaze and a big smoke
Levi Montgomery, who lives near saw
the blaze and turned in the alarm
He then ran to the Rosborough barn
and got out a horse and buggy that
was in the burning building. The
buildings were badly burned before
the department could make the run
and they made fast time down the
| street. The loss on each building
will amount to several hundred dol
lars, with some of the contents in
sured.
None of the Rosborough family
were at home at the time. Fire Chief
Will Gochee, driving his rig at rap
id rate, collided with some one who
stopped his rig directly in the way
Gochee could not stop his animal and
the horses came together with great
force. Gochee's animal was throw
but not much hurt.
