satisfactory. Farmers OF the western
counties are jubIlant over the pros
poets and predict the greatest crop
they have ever had. The stand of
straw is good and while little OF the
grain is headed out. the conditions now
promise to produce good heads later
| on.
| Aside from the possibility of damage
| by hail and other storms, the chief
dangers that confronts the farmers are
| from hot winds and frost. The eastern
| farmers have more to fear from the
heat and drought of late summer than
those OF the valley but the crops OF all
sections may be affected in this man
ner.
The most imminent danger is from
frost. and the crop situation Is such
that there is not q little anxiety on
this score. The great bulk of the wheat
crop is not headed. 1t will be later than
the middle Of August before any cutting
worth mentioning is done in the state,
and many thousands of acres of wheat
will be green on the LIST OF September.
1t is several years since there has been
q damaging frost in August but after
Sept. ! frost may be expected at any
time. Seasonable weather from now on
will not bring the crop forward in time
to escape the average early frost. The
only sort OF weather that can put the
grain in shape to escape frosts that
come about the usual time is ex-
cessively hot weather, which will be as
disastrous to the grain as frost itself.
The farmers in the far west counties
are facing unusual danger from prairie
fires. The growth OF grass has been
phenomenal. In the absence of frequent
showers. the whole Missouri slope viii
resemble vast Undertook, and
chance spark with fairly strong wind
VIII mean trouble.
Thus far the season has been unus-
ually free from hailatorms The worst
storm OF the season passed through
Ward county Sunday July II. and be-
lated reports from it have Just been re-
ceived The storm came from the
northwest In the afternoon. Several
small houses and barns were blown to
pieces. and twenty or more persons
were injured. Several horses We're kill
ed, and several thousand acres Of grain
were damaged by hail and wind The
storm covered wide area, developing
the force OF q tornado in places and
passing over others without injury.
The greatest damage was about eight
miles southwest Of velva and ten or fif-
teen miles east OF that place. In the
latter locality twenty or more Russians
were assembled for religious services
The building was completely demolish-
ed, and fifteen of the occ"nants injur- |
ed. one OF them so sever that HIS re-
covery was considered doubtful Sew
eral houses in various localities were |
struck by lightning.

In Spite Of the Strike There Was Good

| Chicago, July 26.--Cattle - Meagre
offerings with selling readily at adj
vancing prices. as there were not
enough cattle to so round in spite of
the strike. Current receipts consist
largely of fair to medium grades that
sell at 6.2505.75 and there is brisk
competition for a few good fat lots.
Business in the cattle market prac-
tically ended yesterday when the scales
We're closed. In the native department
nothing was weighed afterward, and
SO the market closed very abruptly
Fortunately the market was active and
nearly all the stuff was weighed up be-
fore the strike order took effect AS
a rule the quality was not very good,
but nothing else could be expected
when the run is 50 small.
Hogs.
Buyers were climbing over each other
to get the few hogs arriving and the
prices were firm at further advances
IF 10 to Is for desirable offerings.
Everything was nervous expectancy
in the hog house yesterday. For the
most part buyers were not making any
attempt to do business, We're waiting
to see whether there was to be any
chance to get hogs out of the yards
after they were bought. The city
butchers furnished small outlet from
the start and in one or two instances
eastern shipper buyers were picking
up a few choice hogs. while, here and
there speculator ventured to take
hold. Sellers all played the very light
supply for a higher market and the
few hogs sold early went at unevenly
higher prices, tops selling Is cents
above the outside prices OF Saturday.
and fair number of choice hogs of
all weights sold early at fully 10 cents
over Saturdays prices, but for the bulk
of hogs that were on packing order in
quality there was no reliable outlet.
Sheep.
There was only fair active demand
from most classes of buyers at steady
prices.
Small local butchers bought sheep
and lambs on larger scale yesterday
than any time since the strike started,
taking close to 1000 head yesterday
within three hours of the OPP
ening of trade. Demand on small local
butchers has greatly increased and
they are not hampered in their opera
lions.

Armstrong Base Ball Team.
Al to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republlcan.
Armstrong. July 26.-The Armstrong
base ball. team added two more games
to its list OF victories by defeating
Estherville, both games being played
the same afternoon. The score in the
first game was IL to 2. and in the
second to 3. Efforts are being made
to arrange a game with Forest City,
which, If successful. Will undoubtedly
be the best game of the season.
o. l.. Shively, one of the members of
the base ball team met with painful
accident while practicing jlast Friday.
In attempting to catch long fly the
ball struck him on the end of the sec
ond finger, dislocating it at the second
joint, and driving the bone entirely
through the flesh. This will weaken
the team considerably, as Shively was
one of the strongest players on the
team.

The General Uti,ity Consul.

In those larger towns in Turkey
where England is represented by a
consul that official is looked upon as a
sort of court of appeal by Christians.
Armenians, Bulgarians, Macedonians
and even Jews, who have probably
never heard an English word spoken,
will appeal to the British consul when
in difficulties, and he rarely refuses
his kind Offices In ordinary cases his
unofficial backing OF the "giaours' is
effective.
