business men, considering the tota

The presentation address was made
by former Governor Thomas. The cup
was given to Mr. Moffat BY Denver
business and professional men in
recognition of his great work Of, single
handed building the Denver. North.
western & Pacific railroad, better
known as 1.-The Moffat Road" which,
when 1t is completed from Denver to
Salt Lake City. will shorten the dis
tance between Denver and the Pacific
coast by several hundred miles. and
will open practically new country to
the home builder" More than sixty
miles of the road are already in opera
ton; the remaining 440 miles are be-
ing rapidly hurried to completion.
In his presentation speech Governor
Thomas paid glowing tribute to Mr..
Moffat's ability, integrity and remark
able enterprise and foresight, together

In reply Mr.. Moffat simply said:
great honor and thank you everyone

The loving cup is of sterling silver,
forty-two and one-half inches in height,
including the base of Italian marble.
which is twelve and one-haf inches
high and heavily orpamented with sill

pints. On one side OF the bowl is

Also on the bowl will be found. in
letters large and in relief:

On the entire cup are eight etched

and two on the silver covering the
pedestal These scenes are shown:

Bonnett for Congress.

AT the democratic congressional con-
vention of the Eighth district held at
Creston last Wednesday,, John v. Bon
nett, a prominent farmer of Lucas coun-
ty, was nominated as candidate for
congress to oppose w. P. Hepburn, who
seems to have life cinch on the Office.
When the convention met there was
some talk Of not making nomination in
view of the fact that there were no can
didatcs who were seeking the office, but
by a close vote the convention decided
it would not be proper to let the nomin-
alton so by default and leave vacancy
on the ticket, so Mr.. Bonnett was nom
mated. The nominee is young man
about forty years old, who owns several
hundred acres of land few miles south
Of Charlton. His father, the late Louis
Bonnett, made the race against Hep
burn for congress over twenty years
ago, but was defeated. Y. r. McGinnis,
of Leon, was named as the member Of

Weather Crop Bulletin.
FOR WEEK ENDING SEPT. 12, 'O4

Des Moines, Iowa,
>The temperature Of the past week was
normal, with abundant sunshine and
very light rainfall in the larger part Of
the state. Conditions were very favor
able for the corn crop, which made as
rapid progress as could be desired for
its normal development. The sudden
fall in temperature at close of the week
resulted in light frosts in exposed local
ities, and possible damage to tender
vegetation on low ground; but reports
do not indicate material damage to the
corn crop. A considerable percentage
of the crop is now we'll dented, with
change in color of husk, indicating
nearness to maturity; but the crop as
whole needs immunity from killing frost
until October 1. The growth has been
unusually heavy in stalk, blade and ear,
and the fields are mostly deep green
color, indicating need of more days Of
ripening weather. There are some re-
ports of cutting corn in the early plant
cd fields, and this work will likely be
general in portions of the state within
the next two weeks. Pastures are un-
usually good for the middle of Septem-
ber: Cutting wild hay is about COM
