CROP REPORT SHOWS
RAIN IS BADLY NEEDED

Showers occurred the first part of
the week, very light and scattering in
THE northern section.S but of a more
general character and liberal proper
tions in portions of the central and
southern districts. Temperature was
above the seasonable average, and de-
cided summer conditions obtained the
latter part of the week. Except in
portions of the central and southern
districts where the rainfall was suf-
fieient to supply the need of vegeta-
ton, rain is required. Flowing and
planting are retarded and arrested on
account of the dry condition of the
soil. More than usual labor is entail
ed in preparing corn land for plant
ing. The ground is deficient in moist
ure which affects termination and re-
tards plant growth. While vegetation
in the districts where rain fell was
greatly revived and stimulated, a
great majority of correspondents
express the urgent need of rain.
Wheat in the central district has
improved under the influence of warm
weather and much needed rain, but
the average condition is still only
fair In the southern district deterio-
ration continues, caused by lack of
moisture, the Hessian fly and chinch
bugs. Some fields are already head
ing, but very short, and estimates are
already made of greatly reduced
yield.
Oats are very uneven, and the aver
age condition at this stage is some
what unfavorable. While the tempera-
ture has been favorable, rainfall was
deficient in the regions of greatest
production. Where the crop is not
actually suffering for rain, it is max
ing slow growth.
Considerable progress has been
made in preparation for corn. The
! work has been retarded on account of
the condition of the soil. The ground
is hard, dry. lumpy. and generally in
bad condition for blowing and plant
ing. Planting operations in many To-
calities have been suspended until the
coming of rain.
Grasses need rain. While meadows
and pastures in localities where rain
fall occurred show great improve
ment. the general condition is not
favorable. Grasses are short and
have not made a scasonable growth.
Early conjecture with regard To in
jury of fruit is giving way to definite
information, and prospects become
more assuring with the advancement
of the season. Where serious injury
| occurred, it was confined mostly ia
the southern district. In the central
district, with the exception of grapes,
| the prospects for all fruit are fair.
In the northern district the outlook
for fruit is now promising.
Gardens are backward. and need
rain. Potatoes are up and are gencr-
ally making good showing.

ben not few, Zenda gained first hon
-ors. Its engagement in New York
City, which extended far into the sec
ond season, was unprecedented in the
line of attendance, and on its triumph
al tour throughout the country the
capacities of the theatres has been
taxed almost everywhere. An excel
lent company has been engaged, still
retaining the well known romantic
actor, Harry Leighton, and further
strengthened by the clever artist, so
pleasantly remembered for artistic
excellence and engaging personality,
Miss Florence Gale. ia
Costumes and scenic effects are
new, novel and complete, and details
ordinarily neglected have been most
carefully attended TO, the result be-
ing a harmonious whole. The engage
ment is announced for next Sunday
evening, and can we'll be considered
one of the best local dramatic offer
ings of the season.

JUDGE GEsT RULES
Dec sion Given Affecting D., r. /
& NJ. w. Mandanus
Case
is INVOLVED IN A DEMURRER
City Will Probably Decline TO Garry
Defense to a Higher
Court.

Judge Gest in the circuit court has
ruled upon demurrer in the case of
Capt. j. NJ. Beardsley to compel the
removal of the freight depot of the
d.. Il. /. & y. w. from the present To-
cation at the foot of West Seven
teenth street adversely to the cause of
the city, which is the defendant. City
Attorney Scott. however, is given OPP
portunity to file an amended answer,
the time being extended till Thursday
of next week.
In giving his ruling Judge Gest went
far enough to indicate that unless
other Representations vitality affecting
the case are introduced his decision
will uphold the plaintiff and the man
damus to compel the city to open the
street will become effective.
Should this prove to be the case it
is not considered likely that the city
will carry the matter further of its
own accord and the railway company
will be compelled to step in and as
sumo the expense of an appeal TO a
higher court.

President Sexton last evening ruled
upon the contest over q. Il. Hughes,
the shortstop from Alcdo, that was
claimed by Manager Donnelly and by
Dubuque, and he decided that the
latter had the prior right, and was
therefore entitled to the player. Man
ager Rowland, it seems. accepted
Hughes terms day or two before
he received a proposition from Man
ager Donnelly that he was willing to
accept. He ha gone to join the Du-
buque team. Although new to pro-
fessionaI baseball he comes from a
locality where good ball players are
grown, and he seems to be conner.
Local fans will watch his career with
interest.
The local management has lines out
that will probably result in the acqui-
sition of one or two other PLAYERS in
the near future.
