Want Juvenile Home.

"A conference was held recently be-.
tween Mayor Mattern of this city, and
Judge A. H. McVey, with the result
that the board of supervisors, which
was represented at the meeting, may
lend aid to the maintenance to the
establishment of a juvenile home.
Mrs. l. l.. Hills, promoter of the jul
venile court measure, has appeared
before the board with the request that
$1,000 be appropriated for the purpose
of setting the juvenile home in mo-
ton. The board, however, has not
fallen in with the idea of providing a
fund for the home and as result the
officers of the district court are at a
loss how to contend with the matter.
Judge McVey in his address to the
board, however, urged that fund
should be set aside for the use of the
ladies' board IN the establishment of a
home for delinquent children, but be-
lieved that the fund might be smaller
than that asked by Mrs. Hills for the
present. while sum of $1,000
would Ne very acceptable one," said
Judge McVey, Il believe that the
board of managers could get along for
the present with less than that
amount. l do not know what sum
could be used, but this could be
agreed upon later after an estimate
is made" Mayor Mattern also voiced

millions of dollars would be added to
the wealth of Iowa farmers If every ear
of corn that is to be used for seed in
iowa next year could be harvested this
fall not later than October 10 and hung
up where it will dry out thoroughly be-
fore the bitter cold freezes of Novem-
ber." Such was the appeal from Prof.
Holden, of Ames, early this season, and
in accordance with his ideas the State
Agricultural and Industrial league has
asked that every farmer Of Iowa OBJ
serve October 10 as seed corn day by har-
yesting seed corn on that date. Prof.
Holden gives this advice relative to
stocking the seed corn: go into the
best and earliest planted fields and se-
lect we'll matured ears from the most
vigorous stalks strip off their husks and
hang in the attic at once where the circu-
lation of air is good and protection Is
had from the cold freezing weather of
November and December. On the 228,-
600 Iowa farms an average of about AZ
acres is devoted to the growing Of corn,
and while six bushels of good seed corn
is sufficient to plant this, let US abund-
antly provide ourselves and save two
or three times this amount as some pests
may call upon us to replant, or our
neighLors may be needing some seed.
Remember, it takes only about dozen
ears to plant an acre. Each ear shotfisi

MUTINY IN PANAMA.
Laborers Refuse to Land from Ship
and Are Beaten Into Sub
mission.

Colon, Oct 3.-One hundred and fif-
ty laborers from Martinique, brought
here to work on the Panama caanl, re.
fused to leave the steamer to be vac.
cinated. At two o'clock Sunday after.
noon the laborers were informed that
they would be given two hours to re-
consider their decision, and at four
o'clock three of them consented to dis
embark, the others still holding out.
Then the Panama police, armed with
clubs, approached the laborers, and on
their refusing to quit the ship began to
club them right and left. The zone
police few minutes later assisted in
the clubbing, but with better Judgment
and less Unfortunately. ABOUT so
of the laborers leaped into the sea, but
all of the men were able to swim. The
captain, however, lowered a boat,
which picked them up. Nearly every
man had received blows, and several of
them were bleeding from ugly wounds.
Seeing that resistance was useless the
men yielded, came ashore and began
to eat the food which had been placed
on the dock in sight of them for sew.
eral hours. Many of them had not eaten
since Saturday. At five o'clock all the
laborers, who were in pitiable condi.
ton, were placed on board train
which left for Corozal, where they will
be put to work.

Demand for Fruit at CAPITAL.

demand IOr Eru1C at Capital.
With the opening of the canning
season some weeks ago, the demand
in Des Moines for all kinds of fruits
has been excessive. The season has
produced larger crops in most varie-
ties than have been known for aome
time, and it is estimated that several
tons more fruit have been canned by
housewives in the city than last year.
The importation Of bananas has been
greatly affected by the yellow fever
scare in the south, and up until the
beginning of this week the consign-
ments received in the local market,
have been poor grade. Cars passing
through the southern part of the coun-
try have been subjected to consider
able red tape before they were per
mitted to leave the fever district.
Every car was closed tightly and as
bananas require ventilation en- route,
nearly so per cent. Of every shipment
was damaged before it reached Des
Moines. 1t is expected, however, that
from now on the bananas reaching
this part of the country, will be much
improved in quality. The demand fol
this fruit has grown during the latter
part Of the summer, and from now on
the banana season will be as profit
able as during any former year.

part of a term in the house of correc-
ton, and one each against Fred
Schultz, a reporter, and Frank g.
Klode, president OF the G. w. Fischer
Furniture company, were the last re-
suits of the three months work of the
grand jury, made public in the final re-
port of the jurors, who were dis

| The indictments against Corcoran

sued for his arrest, on deals in which
he is said to have sold hay and oats
to the city in violation of the ordinance
which says no officeholder shall enter
| into contract to sell goods of any
kind to the city. Klode is charged with
perjury in connection with the sale Of
furniture to the county, and bribery
is the charge against Schultz. Murphy
is accused of perjury.
