TIE KING IF BELLS.
One of the Sights Looked For by
 Tourists in Moscow.
Hts History Dates Back tO the sixs teenth Century-Broken and Re- east a Number of Times
 Weighs 444,OOO Pounds.

Means -f rapid communication have Of recent years removed much of the charm and mystery that for centuries hung over Russia and especially Mos COW, with its quaint architecture. Half century ago it was thought that to see Moscow was to see the last corner of the world, but to-day this city of tue north is on the itinery of every globe trotting tourist, and for those not so fortunate as to have visited this am cient seat of Muscovite rule, the mod ern book and magazine writers have offered so many descriptions as to tear from 1t every remaining vestage of mystery, though not of it's charm. One of the first object the tourist in Mos~ COW seeks for is the Great Bell. famed in legend and history.
 On granite pedestal at the foot of the lbelfry tower of Ivan the Great, in the Kremlin, stands the Tsar Kolokol. the King of Bells. Tn the sixteenth century the art of casting bells was brought to perfection in Russia, and Olearius. secretary to Dutch embassy. to Moscow in 1636, asserts that great bell was cast in the reign of Boris God- unof During a. fire in the reign of : Alexis this bell fell to the ground and was broken. In 1854 it was recast and weighed 288,000 pounds. In 1874 it was suspended from wooden beam at the foot of the tower. from whence it fell on June 19, 1706. during a fire It's fragments lay on the ground until the reign Of the Empress Anne, by whose orders it was again recast in 1733 by the bellfounder Ivan Matorine. Owing to the falling of some heavy rafters during yet another fire in 1737, the bell fell a height of 15 feet, buried itself in the ground. and piece was knocked out of its side. According to some ac- counts, this was owing to an imperfec- tions in the metal, caused by jewels and other treasures having been thrown into the liquid metal by the ladies of Moscow During the reign of Nicholas l., in the year 1889. the architect of St Tsaacs cathedral at St. Petersburg, M de Montferrand, took upon himself the difficult task of raising the bell. and completed the operation with much skill. It's weight at present is 444,000 pounds, it's height from the top of the ball and cross placed upon 1t by the or der of the Emperor Nicholas I. is 26

 Alexis Mikhailovitch. of happy memory, Autocrat of Great and Little Russia and White Russia, ordered copper bell, weighing 5000 pounds, to be cast for the Cathedral of the Pure and Glorious Assumption of the Vir- gin in the year 7162 of the Creation of the World and 1645 of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. This bell was in use rom the year 7167 of the Creation of the World, A. D., 1701, in which year, on June 19, it was damaged in 8 great fire which ragged in the Kremlin: 1t was mute until the year 72SS of the Creation, A. D. 1735.

Des Moines. Aug. 30.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin is
sued today. is as follows:
The week brought six warm and gem
orally dry, clear days, closing with well
distributed showers and ample mois-
ture for the present needs of immature
crops. The mean temperature was be-
low normal, the days being quite warm
and bright, and the nights cooler than
usual. Conditions were especially fa-
vorable for threshiHg grain from the
shock which is about completed. And
it was ideal weather for securing wild
hay and millet, which yield abundantly.
The corn crop is doing very we'll, tho
not ripening as rapidly as may seem
desirable in view of it's general lateness.
The most advanced fields show ears
well filled and denied, while the bulk of
the crop is mostly in the roasting ear
stage. Reports indicate that with nor
NAL weather about one-third OF the
crop may be fairly well matured by
September 20, and that to ripen the
full crop there is need of abundant
warmth and sunshine till October !.
Good progress has been made in fall
blowing and harvesting potatoes and
early apples. Pastures have been inn
proved.

Chiefly in Choice Lots Of Light and

Chicago, Aug 30-The cattle market
was fairly active at steady prices for
good, but other kinds were slow and
apt to show weakness. Receipts were
large for Tuesday, but buyers have
been asking for a more even distribu-
ton of supplies turnout the week and
it gave them opportunity to fill their
orders on what has been termed here

strong this week, and there is pretty
good outlet on export account. Local
buyers are also in the market for
good supply, and the whole trade IN
cattle that had desirably quality has
been active and firm. The common

competition of the western rangers d.
rectly, sell no better than last week ana

cult to sell anything that is below
medium, even at very cheap rates, Tor
packers are not able to handle as many
of these cattle as are coming. 1t is
surprising how poor the western cattle
are that are coming now. When one
considers the condition OF the range

With good demand and prices steady
to 5 higher, the advance being chiefly
in choice lots of light and medium
weights, packing lots OF good quality
were taken at steady prices, Whlle
coarse heavy sows sold slowly at no
better figures.
The average weight Of hogs last
week was 242 pounds, against 24o
pounds the previous week and 2ol
pounds year ago. This shows that
while current average weights OF hogs
are light, compared with last year.
there is a tendency to increase the

The general average for wheat will be
eighteen to twenty bushels per acre.
The hay crop is unusually large and the
farmers are about to begin cutting for
the third time their alfalfa. Oats, rye
and barley have matured early and are
mostly out of the way. Not very much
corn is raised in the Hills. but what lit
