Record of State Crops For This

COUNCIL MEETS IN TEN DAYS
The Law Providing for the Census
Places 1t Under the Control of the

vision for Any Direct Gathering of
Statistics of Manufacturers.

Des Moines, Oct. 3.-The state exec
utive council will meet in about ten
days for the purpose of approving the
schedules for the Iowa census of 1905
The law providing for this census
and clothed that body with large dis
cretion in the matter Of determining
what facts shall be elected. There
will be an enumeration as complete
as possible and all material facts will
be recorded, and there will be a GEN.
sus of agriculture. 1t is because OF
this latter that many have been sollc-
itous for the maturing of the lowe,
crops. 1t is the record OF Iowa for
this year that will go into the state
census, and every acre Of grain or veg
etables or grass or fruit will be re-
corded, with yield and value. But
there is no provision for any direct
gathering Of statistics of manufac-
lures, and the council must get this
from the Office of labor commissioners.
The dairy products which will be
enumerated will be those Of the farms
alone. All facts in regard to horti-
culture will be gathered. The value
of horticultural products, including
vegetables, flowers and forestry, is but
little understood, and an effort will be
made to have these schedules COM
plete. Another thing contemplated is
a more complete tabulation OF results
than ever before, and careful analysis
of all the facts gathered. In the past the
census statistics have not been digested
as they should have been, and it is
planned to do this before they are
published.
The work of taking the census will
be done by the assessors who do the
regular assessing the first of the year,
with such additional assistance as may
be necessary that the work be not de-
layed too long. AS this is to be the
first state census of the century the
people will want that it should be done
right The schedules will be printed
and sent out to county auditors the
first of the year. The printing will
greatly reduce the stock of paper OF
the state as the books will be volum-
nous.

AUSTlN'S NEW POEM.

gEnglanSl's Poet Laureate Sounds Hopeful Note on the Moving Years. The London Times recently published 8 new poem by Alfred Austin, the poet laureate, entitled Moving Onward" It is as follows Years moving onward onward, whence and whither and why, Age after age in the selfsame world, with the selfsame stars in the sky, The selfsame glory of light In heaven and light that is still on the way, Outlooking gaze of the damsel dawn and droop of declining sky, All things always the same, unchanged, unch&ngeabie, all save we, Who come like clouds, like clouds disap- pear, form and fall like waves of the sea-
 Message and meeting of several friends, Yule carol, Few year chime, And eternity moving on and on the pas- sionless wheels of time, Peace but a hungry duel for life darken- ing to menace of war, And Muscovite legions tramping on, do- ing the will of the czar. New philosophies, policies new, new but like to the old, Fervent in faith at the birth, then ques- toned railed at, obsolete, cold; Mailed mastodons blowing the main, their
  Watching to vomit forth lethal fire and drive desolation home. Fretful heart of some drcaCing boy in the crimsoning coverts eff spring, Moving. mellowing slowl! on to become 8 poet and sing Or destined by heaven to wake and shake the world with a mighty voice And make the knees of the tyrant quail and the heart of the slave rejoice. To gather the tumult of every tide and the fury of every blast And pile fresh thunders of thought upon the freshening storms of the past. British sentinels standing mute at the fortress gates of the world And the British flag on every sea, with its splendid symbol unfurled. Carrying liberty, reverenis@ law, wher- ever wave pulses read& To bale laden quay, to highway stream and palm wattled island beach. Lovers, husbands. like you like me, torn from their homes afar. Marching, marching onward and on, doing the will of the czar, Past sinking and snarling fanged sloth through lirnitless leagues of snow, Moon after moon of monotonous months till the blue eyed scillas blow, s And the cold sleeping rivers yawn and wake and nightly flush and flow. Peasant mother and maiden left at their desolate doors aJar. While their sons and lovers march war
 ward, deathward. doing the will of
 the czar.
 But still the glory of light in heaven and
 light that is still on its way; Faint hearts that despond of tomorrow look up and be done with despair of
 dismay.
 For British sentinels stand erect at the
 fortress gates of the world, And the British flag is on every sea with
 it's splendid symbol unfurled And the Lord of right still sits on his
 throne, still wields his scepter and
 rod,
 And the winds and the waves and the
 years move on doing the will of God.

the very outset Federal gun on land within a stones throw of the gunboat tossed a shell into her which struck the upper machinery and exploded on deck. Taking that shell as a signal that the ship had been captured, other Federal shore batteries opened fire, so that the triumphant boarders found that for all they had another battle on hand. The prisoners were ordered into the boats under a slender guard, the magazines opened and the guns manned for ac- tion There was no steam in the boil CTS, however, and the Federal shots had already disabled the machinery. Colonel Wood saw that he could not carry off the prize won at the cost of fifteen lives and determined to destroy her. Landing the wounded of his own and the Yankee crews tenderly into the boats alongside, he trained the guns upon the town, applied the torch, and in five minutes the Underwater, now a floating coffin for the heroic dead, both the blue and the gray, was afire from stem to stern.
 A heavy fire from the batteries and volleys of ,musketry swept the river as the Confederates pulled away from the burning ship. Lurid flashes lighting the sky and the dull booming of con fined explosives soon announced that the flames had reached the shell room, and 1t was all over with the gallant gunboat which had fought under two flags in the space of ten minutes and as suddenly disappeared forever in the waters reddened with the blood of combat
 By overpowering the guard of one of the prison boats Edgar Allen, engineer of the Underwriter, escaped and car ried his companion captives into the Federal lines on shore. Colonel Wood was an adept at cutting out and had previously distinguished himself in similar enterprises on the Potomac and Chesapeake bay. He was also an officer on the Meriimac wher che fought the monitor E.FGTfE~ NILMER.

ship. The firing was so hot that it seemed as though half the boarders would be cut down, and in point of fact one in three was killed or wound ed before 1t was over
 Wood gave his orders coolly. and his men stood by without shrinking Aft CT gaining the deck they formed ranks unmindful of the shell fire from land guns fired regardless of friend or foe. The Underwriters crew met the on- slaught at the ships rail and gave ground inch by inch Except for the flash of guns the deck was dark, and each man selected an opponent and closed with him for a death struggle Steadily the boarders drove their op- ponents to the companionways in a bunch. Meantime hand to hand fights were going on in different parts of the vessel. Commander Westervelt's body was found weeks after the fight in the river.
 Struggling men slipped on the gory deck and lost their advantage. Weap- ons were snatched from the hands of dying men and used as bIudgeons. Finally the defenders, after nearly half of them had been cut down, were crowded into the wardroom, steerage and coal bunkers. A remnant of nine- teen men surrendered-that is, nine teen unwounded men. During the melee the Yankee sailors who were cut off from their fellows one by one jumped overheard. and in this way sev- eral escaped.
 The whole affair, from the firing of the first shot from the Confederate boat howitzer to the surrender of the last man, did not take over ten minutes. At

THE BATTLE WITH BoARDERs.

John Taylor Wood of President Davis staff. The boats, with their crews of picked men from the warships at Will mington, Richmond and Charleston, had dropped down the Mouse by night from Kingston and lay by all day Feb. in the shrubs and tall grass of little island above Newborn. The men were called to quarters at midnight and the nature of the work before them for the first time explained. A Confederate land force under General George E. Pickett of Gettysburg fame was to make land attack on the Federal works around Newborn to draw the attention of the forts and ships inland. Under cover of this diversion Colonel Woods band would attack a gunboat in the river and if successful in cap- turing it turn the guns on other hostile ships and also on the forts close at hand.
 After explaining his errand to- the men Colonel Wood inspected their arms and ammunition and pinned upon the breast of each a white badge to be worn on the left arm as a sign for rec ognition in the darkness, at the same time giving out the password Sum ter''
 Distant firing back of Newborn had been heard during the evening. Toward midnight it became louder, and Wood knew that Pickett's line was at work. He launched his boats and pulled rap idly down stream until warned by the tolling of an unseen bell that he was Tho yto sounded. Guided by the bells, the Con- federates pulled toward the unknown steamer, pistols, cutlasses and muskets in hand. Suddenly the hull of the Un- derwrfter loomed out of the darkness. Then came five bells for half past 2 o'clock, the hail and answering shot from a boat howitzer
 In the excitement of the moment, the assailants expecting that the gunboat, now thoroughly alarmed, would play havoc with their frail craft, all rushed forward to the bow of the Underwrit- CT. In the meantime the gunboat slip ped her cables and tried to get up steam to run the Confederates down. The Federal sailors. led by Command CT Joseph Westervelt, gathered in the ways just aft of the wheelhouse and poured volleys of musketry into the daring Confederates. When the boats struck the sides of the UnderwriteF grapnels were thrown to fastenings above, and boarders to the number of 100, pistol and cutlass in hand. climbed to the deck, undaunted by the fire pour ed into their very faces.
