accountable for the extensive and
painful swellings which follow its bites.
Under ordinary circumstances it lives
in crevices in the bark of trees, but at
night, attracted by lights, it enters the
windows of houses.
The conviction of certain species
of mosquito, called .Stegonryid, as the
responsible agent in the case of yellow
fever was accomplished by DR.. Walter
Reed, surgeon in the United States
army, who, soon after the close of the
war with Spain, conducted in Cuba
series of remarkable experiments. He
built, near the village of Quemado, a
small frame house, in which for several
weeks seven men of the hospital corps
dwelt. The building was purposely
ill-ventilated, lack of plenty of fresh
air having been regarded by many
authorities as conducive to infection
by yellow fever, and all of the bed
clothes used, as well as the mattresses,
were from the yellow-fever hospitals in
Havana-soiled and in every way I'm
clean, just as they came from the beds
of sufferers from the disease.
In short, everything imaginable was
done to create conditions favorable to
infection, barring only one point-the
windows of the house were securely
screened against mosquitoes Never
theless, not one of the seven men-all
of whom, by the way, actually wore
night-shirts, unwashed, that had been
taken from yellow-fever patients-was
attacked by the malady. 1t was
pretty good evidence in favor of DR..
Reeds theory that mosquitoes alone
were accountable for the distribution
of the dreaded yellow jack"
To clinch the case, another house
was built not far away from the first
one. 1t was SO constructed as to
consist of two halves-one part well
ventilated and provided with clean
bed-clothes which had been specially
disinfected by steam, but without
screens in the windows; the other part
lacking in ventilation and cleanliness,
but made mosquito-proof. In each
half seven men were lodged for some
weeks. OF those who occupied the
mosquito-proof part not one was at
tackled by yellow fever; out of the
seven in the other part of the house

~ HE.s.. T...

For the week ending July II, 1905.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The week was cool, with excess Of
cloudiness and scattered showers until
the 18th, which brought a period of
high temperature, with more favorable
conditions for haymaking, finishing cul-
tivation of late corn and harvesting fall
wheat, rye and early oats and barley.
In the southern half of the state, ex-
|cept in fields too wet for binders, these
small grain crops have been cut. In
the northern half barley and rye are
being harvested, and oats and spring
wheat are ripening normally, with
promise Of fair yield. Haymaking ia
well advanced In all districts where
local conditions were fairly good, but
there has been considerable loss Of
Iclover hay that was cut prior to the
18th. The corn crop is now making ex-
ceilent progress in all districts except
on very wet landS which will be elinni-
mated from the acreage in final esti-
mates of yield. In earliest fields tassels
are noted, and the color is good. The
general outlook for field crops is very
good. AS yet no material damage by
rust or blight is indicated in the grair
fields. The hay crop is heavy, anc
pasturage is above normal. Early po
tatoes yield abundantly. The apple
crop is disappointing.

REV. o. H. HOLMES CALLED.
Unanimous Call From First Congrega
tional Church at Muscatine.

The following from the Algona Re-
publican will be OF interest to Rev.
Holiness many Cresco friends who are
always pleased to learn of his success
in the ministry.
Friday last Rev. O. 81. Holmes re-
ceived the following telegram:
Muscatine, July IA, 1906. Rev. o. b..
Holmes, Algona: Church gives you
unanimous call. Wire at our expense
if you will preach for US next Sunday.
1. T. Bennison.
Rev. Holmes visited Muscatine and
spent Sunday in the city. 1t develops
that the Muscatine church has had a
committee in attendance upon the SER
vices in the Algona church on at least
two Sundays recently. Mr.. Holmes has
declined to 60 to churches as a candi-
date and would not have gone to Mus
catine as such. But after call had
been extended without any promise or
encouragement from him, he felt that
a visit was due. His going did not sig.
nifty whether he would or would not
accept. Muscatine is one of the impor-
tant cities OF Iowa, with population
of upwards of IA, 900 in 1900, and the
First Congregational is one of the his
torical churches of the denomination ir
the state. Mr.. Holmes is one of the
strongest and most popular ministers
in this section and is not only an ablt
and acceptable pastor, but is genial ant
interesting personally. His decision tx
leave Algona, should it come, will bt
keenly regretted, outside as we'll as in
side the church.
Rev. Holmes arrived home from Mus
catine this morning. He says he de
clined to commit himself on the ques
ton of accepting the call Of the church
It is presumed that decision will 500
be made.
