SEES ZIG CORN CROP.
M. L. Bowman Of iowa State College
Is Optimistic.

Ames, July 23.-in an interview
yesterday Mr.. M. l.. Bowman, in
structor in agronomy and in charge
of farm crops at the Iowa State Col
lege, states that the prospects at pres
ent indicate a larger corn crop in
Iowa than last year. Professor Bow
man said:
From all indications the yield will
considerably exceed that of last year.
In certain localities this is especially
noticeable and yet there are others
which have not been so well favored.
During the early part Of the season
the young plants We're set back be-
of unfayorable climatic condi-
tons. However, the recent warn
weather, accompanied as it was by &c
c~asional showers, has been especially
inducive to their growth and marked
advancement has been made during
the past two weeks.
In general the corn is looking
better at the present time than at the
same period last year. Measure.
ments taken here at the college by
sveral postgraduate students in their
daily observations to determine the
rate of growth show that remarka-
BILE progress has been made. Their
records show an average gain per
day in height of five inches, this vary.
ing between three and nine inches
for minimum and maximum growths."

ONE PERSON DIES
IN BURNING OIL

Moulton, July 22.-Brakeman
James Murphy of Trenton, Mo, was
killed and his body cremated and
Engineer Horace Davidson and Fire.
man James Flesher, both of Trenton,
badly burned in an oil explosion fol-
lowing a derailment Of a fast west
bound Rock Island freight nea UL-
ionville yesterday afternoon. Fom-
teen cars of merchandise were also
burned.
A car of gasoline near the engine
exploded and caught fire soon after
the accident, and soon IA cars of
merchandise were ablaZe. Nothing
ton and the fright was destroyed.
Engineer Dadidson and Fireman
Flesher were taken to Eldon. where
little hope is entertained for their re-
covery. For a time it was feared that
they had been buried beneath the
burning debris, but Conductor Weber
and citizens of Unionville succeeded
in releasing them shortly after the
fire reached the point where they were
imbedded. In addition to the burns
both were more or less scalded.
1t is thought that Brakeman Muir
ply was literally roasted alive.
The train was west bound No. 95
and was running at the rate of TWEEN
ty-ive miles per hour when the acct
dent occurred.
In the wreck were a car Of salt, a
car of lamp flues, a car of steam
~threshers, a car of gasoline and a
car of air shafts for coal chutes.

THOUGHT FORM OF
NUPTlALS CHANGED

Council Bluffs, July 21.-Bliss-
full ignorance vas turned to en-
barrassment for J.. w. Hatcher and
Mrs. Harriet Smith of Missouri Val
ley when they discovered after living
together for nearly a week, that they
had not been married.
When the pair got a license here
the deputy clerk had them hold up
their hands and take an oath to age
and residence. They supposed that
he was marrying them and took the
license, thinking it was their certi-
ficate.
Both had been married before and
noticed that the clerk did not have
them join hands, but the simple mind
ed country people supposed hymeneal
custom had changed. A bro, her of
the woman, Lewis Jones, a ~juh!ice of
the peace, discovered the error. The
couple was married yesterday in the
regular fashion.

Shanghai, July 21.-About $500 peo-
pie, including the heads of all the
principal guilds and delegates from
many provinces, attended a Chinese
mass meeting which arranged to be-
gin the boycott Of American goods to-
day. 1t was distinctly announced that
the action was not against the govern
ment, whose constant kindness was
fully recognized, but it was pointed
out that unless the Chinese showed
themselves to be in earnest they
would produce no effect on the Cali.
fornia labor unions. There is still
much doubt as to whether the boy
colt will really be maintained.
Shanghai, July 22.-The boycott of
American goods is now working, but
1t has been agreed that the compile
ton of all running contracts for sup
plies will be allowed. Meanwhile all
Chinese shops refuse to sell American
goods, including Standard oil. All
schools and colleges in this section
have decided to discard all American
books.

BENNINGTON DEATH
LIST is GROWING

San Diego, Cal, July 23.-The Ben
nington horror, which on Friday
shocked an entire nation by it's long
roster of casualties, grew with each
passing hour of the day. Even the
widest early estimates of the terrible
results of the explosion of the boilers
aboard the gunboat have not been ex-
aggerated, and instead of lessening
the extent of the catastrophe later and
more complete details have added to
1t. The death list may be swelled
to the appalling total of four score
before the last words shall have been
written and one of the darkest pages
in Americas naval history closed.
The day brought other develop
ments, and news of the most intense
interest and Importance to naval Of
ficers. From Washington came in
formation that Rear Admiral Good
rich, commanding the Pacific squad
ron, had been ordered to San Diego
orthwith. This is taken to mean a
naval investigation into the causes of
the explosion aboard the Bennington
and the fixing of the blame therefor.
San Diego, Cal, July PA care
full compilation of the Bennington
casualties was made by The Associa-

my husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.

the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so. and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved: he snf-
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.

BIG SUMS MAY
De DUE STATE
Secretary Martin Gets After
Foreign Corpo-
rationS.
NO PERMIT TO DO BUSINESS
Must File Articles and Pay Big Pen.
alty-Investigation Begun as to a
Des Moines Mining Company and
Will Be Carried Much Further.

Des Moines, July 20.-The secretary
Of state yesterday began what prom.
Uses to be a far reaching investigation
into the operation of foreign corpora.
tons in Iowa, without sanction from
the state.
Inquiry was sent to a mining com.
pany doing business in Des Moines as
to whether it has been transacting
business in Iowa under its South Da-
kota charter and notifying it hat if it
expects to do business in this state
it must file it's articles of i~ncorpora.
ton with the secretary of state.
1t is said that there are many com
panies organized without the state
which are doing business within the
state, but which have not filed their
articles with the secretary as provided
by section 1887 of the code. A num-
Der OF these are mining concerns
whose operations in the state consist
of the sale of stock.
Under the section referred to, any
corporation for pecUniary profit other
than for carrying on mercantile or
manufacturing business, organized
under the laws Of another state or
territortty or foreign country shall
file with the secretary of state its ar
ticles Of Incorporation, paying he
same fee therefor as. domestic corpor-
ations-that is, 81 per thousand dol
lars capital, after the first $25 which
provides for the first SIC, 000-and
~thereupon the secretary of state shall
issue a permit to such corporation
to do business within the state.
1t is claimed that a large number
of concerns now doing business in the
state have not complied with this
section. The inquiry begun with the
Des Moines concern referred to will
be extended to the others which are
thought to have engaged in business,
and which, it is said, are quite num-
erous.
Now the law provides that if a cor
poration fails to obey section 1857,
it shall pay to the state for each and
every day in which such business has
been carried on 500. The company
referred to is said to have been in
business here for five years or more,
which, on the basis of the penalty re-
ferred to, would subject it to payment
to the state treasury of approximate
ly ~$150.0000. If the section were en-
forcible against all Of the companies
thought to come under its provisions,
the state would be able to recover
several millions in penalties besides
compelling the payment of large sums
in filing fees.
1t is not known at the Office of the
secretary of state that the company
referred to is not an Iowa corpora
ton; it has no articles on file there,
according to the record. The inquiry
that is being made, now, relates TO
whether it has been doing business in
the state.

COLFAX MYSTERY
GETS SENSATIONAL

Colfax, July 19.-The Knoxville
b~loodhounds were secretly brought
here on Monday by the sheriff OF
Jasper county, taken to the home OF
Mel Slaughter, and after a few min
utes succeeded in getting a scent,
striking a trial and went almost di-
rectly to the Blanford home about a
half a mile distant from that of the
Slaughters. 1t seems the SlaughterS
suspect Charles Blanford, a relative,
Of attempting to shoot Mel Slaughter,
but upon the arrival of the sheriff
and the dogs at the Blanford home it
is reported that the Blanfords tolu
him Charles was not there and on
this no effort was made to search the
house, though it is known that Char
les has been in the community for
several days.
County Attorney Cragan was cor
suited yesterday afternoon and states
that there is something mysterious
about the case, and he is not willing
to admit that he believes Slaughter
is trying to deceive the people by
acts of his own, but that some person
is after him. AS to whether or not
he believes Blanford guilty he would
not commit himself.
Both Slaughter and Blanford fam
lies are well to do, but the SIaugh.
ters were the favored ones in the
division Of the property belonging
to the estate of the grandfather of
the two young men named, and trou-
BILE seems to have since been brew
ing as a result.
Blanford was given a hearing last
February on the charge of attacking
Slaughter with a wagon felloe, but
nothing could be proven against him.
The report that Blanford had been
sent to the county Jail is incorrect.
