GENERAL CROP CONDITIONS.
Corn Has Made Rapid Progress Toward
Maturity.

Maturity.
Washington, Sept. 12.-Crop condi-
lions are summarized as follows in the
weekly bulletin of the weather bureau,
issued today:
In the lower Missouri, central Mis-
sissippi and Ohio valleys, the week was
cool and wet and farm work was more
or less interrupted in these districts,
more particularly in the western por-
tons. Temperature conditions in the
Atlantic coast and gulf districts and on
the Pacific coast generally, were fav-
orable. Notwithstanding excessive
moisture and cool weather owe the
greater part of the corn belt generally,
corn has made good progress toward
maturity. having advanced rapidly in
the northern and western portions.
Much of the crop is already safe and
cutting is general over the southern
portion of the belt. In Iowa it is esti-
mated four-fifths of the corn will be
safe from frost by the 25th, the re-
mainder by the goth.
Harvesting of spring wheat is now
practically finished in North Dakota
and Minnesota. Large areas, however,
on the flooded lowlands in the last
named state have been abandoned. In
North Dakota the little t%hreshing that
has been done indicates disappointing
yields, considerable being smutty. In
South Dakota the yield of spring wheat
is good, but the quality is variable.

GOES TO FEDERAL COURT.
Life Insurance company's Plea For
Transfer of Suit, is Granted.
Special to Times-Repubiican.

Special to Times-Repubiican-
Des Moines, Sept. 12.-Judge William
McHenry. after hearing the arguments
of the attorneys, decided that the fed
eral court is the proper place for the
trial Of the suit brought by r. r. Mes
bit against the Northwestern National
Life Insurance Company. The decis-
ion followed the hearing yesterday af-
ternoon, of the defendants application
for the transfer of the suit from the
district to the federal court for the
southern district of Iowa. 1t is thought
that the matter will be taken up short
ly before Judge Smith Mcpherson, in
an effort to remove the restraining
order now in force. as two amendments
by Mr.. Nesbit to his original petition.
in which a copy Of the new policy is
sued by the Northwestern National
Life Insurance Company to the old
policy holders of the Northwestern Life
and Savings Company. is made a part
for the purpose of showing. undea the
allegations of the petitioners, the prac-
tice of the Northwestern National with
regard to the policy holders who are
now asking a receivership. The attor-
neys for the Northwestern National
urged that inasmuch as all of the bus
mess and property concerned in the
case is in the state of Minnesota, as
we'll as all of the defendants, the case
should be transferred to the federal
| court and not be tried in the district
court, as urged by the plaintiffs.

or five thousand natives, but demand
was slow.
Lack of orders could not be scored
against slaughterers. They were all in
the trade for big purchases, but natur-
ally wanted things a little in their fav-
or in consideration of the immense vol
M of offerings. which was $4,000 lar
ger than a week ago.
Bids were not unreasonably lower,
and while sellers held out firmly for
steady prices from the start. they were
naturally later forced to accept the inc
vitabley with good grace.
Added to the bearish pressure Of abb
normal supplies was the big run of ran
gers. estimated at 10000 to 11,O00.
These We're mainly of desirable grade
and buyers showed preference for them
as against common and habitat ma
tives. thus forcing a weak and dull
trade for the latter kinds all day.
Hogs.
Early the u was called $4,000, but
later the estimate was raised to 10000.
There was a good Tuesday supply n
sales were largely five or more lower,
with a few early sales of choice ship
ping hogs at unchanged prices.
Trade was only fairly active yester-
day and at the finish 5000 of the &c.
900 on sale remained in the pens.
Packers were slow to oper-
atoms and they purchased rather in
differently all day. The provision
ket also ruled weak, and lower, which
added weakness to the hog trade.
Sheep.
Another heavy run following on the
heels of the tremendous supply of the
previous day did not tend to strength
en- the market. Values on sheep broke
about 1Oc on the average and killing
lambs about as much.

ROAD PAYS $4,000.
Settlement Reached Between the Great
Western and the Estate Of John,
Wood, Who Was Killed by a Great
Western Train Near Bentley.

Special to Tfmes-Republican.
Fort Dodge, Sept. 12.-Andrew How
err today that, as the repre-
sentative of his daughter, Mrs. John
A. Wood, he has settled with the Great
Western railroad for the death of John
Wood, for the sum of $4,000.
Wood, as is generally known thru
out the city, was a brakeman in the
employ of the Great Western, running
from Oelwein to Omaha. He was
killed in some unaccountable manner
near Bentley, a little more than three
weeks ago. Though the of
his death was never clearly UNDER
stood there being no eye witnesses to
the accident, it is thought that he was
on a car of stone which was upset by
the sliding of a load of telephone
poles on a. car ahead, and that he Went
down to death beneath the mass of
rolling stone.

Charles Bartholomew, of Thor, was
here Monday with two loads OF hogs.
Hell & Kellogg, the big buyers at
Panora. were both in with four cars of
cattle and hogs. Their steers sold at
s5.4O. They say it is hard work to
come ever on hogs on these declining
markets. They report a fine crop of
corn nearly matured.
John Purdin, of Fremont, the we'll
known shipper. was here again with a
shipment of six cars of cattle. -Four
cars of grade Angus averaged 1430 lbs.
anu brought $3.50.
John Quayle, of Bagley, one Of the
veteran settlers of Guthrie county, was
here yesterday with two cars of cattle
and hogs. the cattle averaging 1877 lbs.
sold at 1855 and a car of hogs averag-
ing 265 lbs. went at $3.50. He reports
a fine crop of corn, part of it already
out of the way of frost.
NJ. Lofts, a large feeder and hog
raiser at Pioneer. was here with a load
of 256-ib. hogs of good quality that sold
at 1886. He says all of the early corn
is out of the way of frost.

DITCH BONDS SOLD.
Webster County Supervisors Succeed
in Disposins Of Bonds for One Big
Drain at Par, Interest at Six Per
Cent-Work Commences at Once.

Special to Times-Republican.
Fort Dodge, Sept. 12.-The board of
supervisors have succeeded in dispos-
ing of the bonds to cover the cost Of
drainage in Webster county to the F..
B. Sherman Bonding and Trust Com
pany, Of Chicago. The company takes
the bonds al par, interest being paya-
Bile at the rate Of 6 per cent. The
bonds are to cover the cost of what is
known as ditch No. 2.
This leaves the remainder Of the
bonds, to the amount Of more than
one hundred thousand dollars. still to
be sold. Nothing as to their sale is in
prospect at the present time, and it is
probable that they will be disposed
of by advertising for bids once more.
The selling of the bonds for the
construction of ditch No. 2 leaves it
possible for work to be commenced
on that drain at once. The day before
the bonds were sold word was receiv-
ed from J.. w. Boyer, who has the con-
tract for ditch No. 2, saying that he
had his men and implements in readi-
ness and that he could start at work OF
the construction of the drain the min
ute that the bonds We're sold.
Work to Begin at Once.
After the sale of the bonds was per
fected word was sent to him by tele-
gram authorizing him to m
with the work.
Ditch No. 2 is located in Lost Grove
township. 1t is a drain 7.42 miles ia
length, and will carry water from a
tract of land comprising 5000 acres.
It is a mammoth ditch, the excavation
entire being 194,467 cubic yards Of
earth. A large part of the work viii
be accomplished this fall and the re-
mainder will be taken up as early as
possible in the spring, so hat there
is an excellent chance of it's being
completed in time to be of consider
able service during the coming sum
mer.
