FIND PLACE FOR
GROCE2S' PICNIC.

Missouri Valley Grounds In Ex-
CeIent Condition for Out.
Ing on July 28t.,,.
&C. Is. Nonpareil.)
A committee from the Coun-
Gil Bluffs Retail Grocers and
Butchers association, accompa-
MED by representatives of the
Northwestern railroad, went to
Missouri Valley yesterday to in
spect the fair grounds, where
the annual outing of the Bluffs
RETAILERS and their friends will
be held July 2Sth. Everything
was found to be in excellent
C ondition and the committee re-
turned home last evening de-
lighted with the outlook for a
most successful and enjoyable
picnic.
The business men of Missouri
Valley accorded the Bluffs COM
mittee royal reception and as
sured it of their hearty co-ope-
ration in the plans for the pic
mic. The stores of Missouri
Valley will be closed at noon the
day of the excursion and the en-
tire town will attend the picnic
en-masse.
The Mo. Valley fair grounds,
where the picnic is to be held,
were found to be in splendid
condition. A large new amphi-
theater with a seating capacity
jof 1000 people has been erected
there and many other improve
ments made to beautify t h e
grounds. The Northwestern is
also erecting a permanent plat
form 600 feet long for unload
ing the picnic excursionists near
1.-THE grounds. A train of twelve
coaches may thus be unloaded
in a few minutes on the long
platform.
In addition to the big picnic
by which the grocers and butch
ers expect to take fully 5000
people with them on their annu-
al outing to Missouri Valley on
July %, the retailers associa-
ton is also planning to give a
monster Industrial parade the
evening of July 26. Plans are
now being made to secure the
participation of every business
house and factory in the city.
1t is proposed to group the va
ried industries in the parade
and promote rivalry in the elab-
crate decoration of floats and
displays.

Dean Of Engineering at Ames.

Dean Of Engineering at An,es.
Ames, Iowa, July 6, 1904.
At a recent meeting of Il e
Board of Trustees OF the Iowa
State College at Ames. Profess
sor A. Marston was elected
Dean of the En- ince ring De-
partments. These d. partments
have been having a remarkable
growth in the last few years
and it was thought necessary
to provide a more centralized
organization. The internal man
agement of the different engin-
eering departments will not be
affected. Professor G. w. Bis
sell, so we'll known as consult
ing engineer along the lines Of
mechanical and electrical engin-
eering throughout the state,
will continue in charge of the
Mechanical Engineering, Prof
essor L. b. Spinney in charge
of the Electrical, and Professor
s. w. Boyer, who has been more
intimately connected with the
mining, clay and quarry inter
ests of the state than any other
man, will retain full charge of
the Department of Mining En-
gineering and Geology. The
Department of Civil Engineer
ing will remain, as heretofore.
in direct charge of Professor
Marston himself.
The attendance of students
in the Engineering Depart
ments at Ames has grown with
in the last seven years from
1877 to CTS. The School IF En-
glneering is recognized all over
the country as in the front rank
of such schools. A large corps
of instructors and equipment
valued atseveral hundred thou
sand dollars have contributed
to this. The graduates obtain
responsible and remunerative
positionswithout difficulty. This
years's class isalready scattered
from the Atlantic Coast to the
Philippine Islands.
Professor Marston has been
connected with the college for
over twelve years and is a warm
personal friend of Professor
C. F. Curtis, who is Dean of
the Agricultural Department.
The last legislature made an
appropriation of $4,000 for es-
|tablishing an Engineering Elk
pertinent Station and $1,000 for
good roads experimentation
and Investigations at the col
lege, and one object in creating
a new deanship was to enable
the Engineering and Agricul-
tural Departments to work to-
gether to the best advantage in
carrying out lines of industrial
and good roads experimentation
and research of special interest
and value to Iowa.

ates. Mr.. Turner was married
to Miss Marie Frank Camp, a
former Des Moines girl, whose
home is now in st. Paul, but
who has been visiting the worlds
fair for the past week or two.
The marriage is the elimination
of a romance which started in
Des Moines a number of years
ago when both Of the contract
ing parties lived here. Mr..
Turner is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Turner, who re-
side at 633 East First street, in
this city. He is at present en-
gagged as superintendent of con-
struction for the Springfield
Boiler & Manufacturing COM

for the Union Electric Power
company of st. Louis, and he
and his bride will reside in that
city until his present contract
is completed. Mr.. Turner's
mother IS in st. Louis visiting
and was present at the wedding
| of her son, which was a very
quiet affair. Immediately after
the ceremony Des Moines rela-
tives and friends were notified
of the event by wire, much to
their surprise.

Brutally Tortured.

A case came to light that for
persistent and unmerciful tor
ture has perhaps never been
equaled. Joe Golobick of Colu-
sa, Calf, writes. "For fifteen
years | endured insufferable
pain from rheumatism and
nothing relieved me though
tried everything known. |

The fight is on between Lo-
gan and Mo. Valley in relation
to the recent establishment of
supervisor districts. Whatever
one may think about the gener-
al merits of the controversy it
is impossible to keep from be-
ing entertained with the pain
full intrest shown in the situa-
ton by those two towns. There
is also a complication on top in
the Second district which adds
fuel to the flames. Neither Lo-
gan nor Mo. Valley belong in
that district, but they seem to
assume that the settlement of
the case rests with them. Mr..
Kelly was elected as a democrat
three years ago, but, acting
upon his individual rights, he
has piven out that he is now
partial to the republican posi-
ton. 1t seems to be quite gen
orally taken for granted that
Mr.. Kelly is agaiestan aspirant
for the office of supervisor.
Having announced a change of
faith it is not probable that Mr..
Kelly will seek for the honor
though democratic channels, and
it remains to be seen whether
the republicans will show conf
dence in his new protestations
and place him on their ticket.
Woodbine Chronicle.
A. M. Rolph, of Little Sioux,
one Of the commissioners on the
Monona-Harrison drainage dis
trict, was a Logan visitor Mon
day. He says the commission
ers have examined the lands
and proposed improvement in
Monona county. They have
made some change in the big
ditch, altering the line from its
former location on high ground
to lower ground, thus getting
more perfect drainage and less
excavation. The Sioux cut-offs
remain as recommended in old
report.
His business here was to get
the names of the land owners
in the Harrison county part of
the drainage district, so as to
complete the report and have it
ready for next Mondays meet
ing of the board.
Mr.. Rolph also told us that
M. Murray of Little Sioux was
a candidate for member of the
board of supervisors from dis
trict No. 2. Mr.. Murray was
really elected to that office three
years ago but to save the ex-
pense of contest lots were
drawn and Kelly was success
full. If Mr.. Murray is a candi-
date this year his majority
should be so large that a contest
or a drawing of lots will not be
necessary. Observer.

Safe Crackers Fooled.

An unsuccessful attempt was
made Wednesday morning to crack
the safe at the 0. r. & N. depot,
but the burglars were frightened
away before. their efforts to blow
open the strong box had been sue
cessful.
About four o'clock in the morn
ing, guests at the Hotel Alton, Just
opposite the depot, were awakened
by an explosion, and looking out
OF the hotel window, saw the burg
lars at work, one being on watch
outside, while two were conducting
operations within the depot Office.
Being unable to phone to the
nightwatchman, the parties at the
hotel called to the burglars, fright
ening them and they lost no time
IN getting out of sight. They had
entered the depot by prying the Of
tce door open and had then gone
to work on the safe with tools stol-
Ell from the rock quarry near by.
Two charges of dynamite were ex-
ploded against the safe door, but
the only damage was to the knob
and combination, the door remain
ing intact.
While suspicion pointed to three
parties who had been hanging
around town for number of days,
no convicting evidence was obtain
able and no arrests were made.

Russian Thistles Near Cotton.

On Thursday, when repairing
culverts between Johnson and Col
ton, I took a by-way through the
farms of A. NJ. Bibins and others,
and on coming to the summer fall
low of N. E. Higgins saw pecu-
liar looking weed. On examination
the weed proved to be Russian
thistle. There is quite an amount
of it in this field, showing that it is
not the first year in that neighbour
hood.
1t resembles tumble weed to some
extent, but differs in color, and the
stems have stripes running length
wise of pinkish and red color. A
specimen has been left at the post
Office in Pullman. l will also try
to have specimens on exhibition at
Johnson, Cotton and Uniontown.
1t will be we'll for all farmers to
see the specimens, if they are not
acquainted with it, and watch dill
gently and eradicate the pest if
possible. Now is the time before
the seed is ripe enough to scatter.
