We heard the other day Of a retired
farmer about forty years of age residing
in south Leon who has small garden
most too small to pillow and has been
talking all spring Of spading it up for a
potato patch, but never seemed to get
at it. He has sister-in-law who was
anxious to see him do the work, but
every time she called the ground was
untouched. So one day last week when
she called the man was away from home,
SO she secured spading fork and with
the assistance Of a neighbor boy spaded
the lot up nicely ready to plant, and
what do you think when she went over
the following day the fellow kicked
about having to plant the lot in pota-
toes, because he said If he put it in
potatoes he would have to hoe them
while If he planted turnips they would
grow without any work on his part. The
fellow is a resident Of Grassy Hollow.

Nearly a Thousand Drown.

The most terrible marine accident in
the history of the world occurred at
New York City on Wednesday of last
week when the Gen. Slocum, a big ex-
cursion steamer loaded with women and
children who were enjoying a church
excursion, took fire, and before the boat
could be beached nearly thousand per-
sons were drowned and burned tt
death. Up to yesterday SAG bodies had
been recovered and there are nearl,
300 persons yet missing. The creates
previous marine disaster resulted in
death loss of less than 600.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 6, '04.
DaS MOineS. Iowa

The average temperature of the past week was
slightly below normal but the weather conditions
favorable for field work and the general improve
ment of all crops. The six working days of the week
we're mostly fair, dry and warm and the scattered
showers the 18th and 18th timely and benef-
cial to all growing crops In portions of the central
and north central districts there considerable
excess of rainfall the 18th, but generally the
amount has been below normal.
All reports show excellent progress in cultivation of
the crop, and the fields well cleaned, the
plants have healthy color, and the stand is nearly
up to the average of former years. The larger part
of the crop has been cultivated twice. and portion is
receiving its third blowing. Though late and some
what below the normal height the general condition
of the crop is promising.
Early seeded oats and barley are heading. The
meadows show variable stand and condition, and
the hay crop will be somewhat lighter than in the
last seasons but the quality is likely to be better
a heavy yield. All crops are doing notably we'll.

Roe Caster, the mail carrier on route
No. 3, had a narrow escape from being
killed while making his regular trip
Tuesday. In fording Little River at
the Kelly ford his buggy dropped into
hole and the tongue broke, the end run
ming into the bank and the buggy was
turned over with him under it, the
river being nearly bank full. He was
driving his fine team of black horses
and they ran away, coming clear to
Leon. The buggy was total wreck and
left in the river. Roe managed to get
out from under it in some way, but it is
little less than mirical that he was not
drowned. 1t is said that unless the
road on this route is fixed up at once,
there is danger of the department tax
ing the route away. This is the second
serious accident Roe has had on account
of bridges being out.
Charles West, a wealthy and we'll
known farmer Of Long Creek township,
has for several years shown symptoms
of losing his mind, and has recently be-
come violent. Last Monday he made a
vicious attack on his brother-in-law
Uriah Ramsey, striking him a severe
blow on the head with piece of iron.
He also tried to get gun and has been
threatening the lives of members of the
family. Sheriff Wallace was notified
and in company with treasurer Young
drove out to his farm Tuesday to bring
him before the insane commission, but
Mr.. West was too sick to be moved
from his bed. The insane commissio
will go out and examine him tomorrow
and he will probably be sent to the in
sane hospital at Clarinda. He first
showed symptoms of insanity about ter
years ago, but had not become violent
until recently.
