Fully Eighty Percent of Corn
Crop Will Be Safe by Sep

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 12.-The crop bull
letin for the week ending September
II, has the following to say:
The week ending the morning of the
nth was somewhat cooler than usual,
with an excess OF cloudiness. The rain
fall was generally below normal except
in portions of the west central and
southwest districts. The week closed
with warmer weather and ample sun
shine, giving promise of conditions
more favorable for ripening corn and
other immature crops. The corn crop
has made very good advancement and
the product will be better because of
slower growth, providing normal
weather continues through the ball
ance of the month. Reports indicate
that fully so per cent of the crop will
be practically safe by the 25th,
though q frostless September is very
desirable for the normal ripening of
the whole crop. Some progress has
been made In cutting in the districts
where the valuable corn fodder is util-
lied. About the usual amount of dam
age has been suffered from wind
storms, hail, poor seed and root
worms; but there will be a very hand
some amount left Mt the harvest. Pas
lures have been kept green and grow
ing by damp weather. Late potato
crop is not as good as the early plant
ing. All reports as to apples are quite
unsatisfactory. Fall blowing is in
progress, and the area of winter wheat
will be increased somewhat.

LAWSON HOLDING SOLD FOR TAX

resent the Broker.

resent the Broker.
L Boston, Sept. 12.-City Collector Nc
Donald sold at public auction the Bos-
ton real estate of Thomas w. Lawson.
to secure the payment of unpaid taxes
amounting to $4.919.52. The property
comprised three parcels. A fourth par
eel, the Lawson winter residence on
Beacon street. was redeemed last FRI
day by the Five Cent Savings Bank,
which holds a mortgage on 1t. The fact
that Lawson's house was mortgaged
was a surprise.
When the parcels were offered by the
auctioneer, Edward MacMulkin, a flor
list, announced that for one-hundredth
of the assessed value he would take all
the property, and it was knocked off
to him. A vigorous protest was made
by F. w. Kittridge, a neighbor of Law
son. who wanted to bid the property in
to protect himself, but the a%uctioneer
would not change the sale. 1t is un-
derstood that MacMulkin acted FOR
Lawson.

AS a result of the foolhardy Drac-

BILE tragedy was yesterday found tc
have taken place at Blackpool.
When, during the day, butcher went
to the stockyard of the Blackpool
Tower Company at South Shore,
where sick and reserve animals Tor

fed to find the three lions roaming
at will about the yard. He obtained
assistance, and drove them back TO
the cage, where the. mangled and
half-eaten body Of man was then
discovered. On the remains bling re-
covered, they were found to be those
of a carter named Livesey, who was
In the employ of the Tower Company
He had been heard to express his
intention Of going into the cage
where the lions were kept, and late
on Saturday night he was seen to
enter the stockyard with another
man. Cries Of fear were aftefward
heard. coming from within, and snort

Has your dinner lost it's SAVIOR?
Has your greeting lost its cheer?
As your daily stunt a burden?
Is your laughter half a sneer?
There's a medicine to cure you,
There's a way to lift your load,
With a horse and a saddle and g
mile Of open road.
Is your eyeball growing bilious?
Is your temper getting short?
Is this life a blind delusion.
Or a grim, unlovely sport?
There's a world of health and beauty
There's help that cannot fail,
In a day behind the burros,
On dusty mountain trail.
Come out, old man, we're going
To land that's free and large,
Where the rainless skies are resting
On snowy mountain marge.
When we camp in Gods own country,
You will find yourself again,
With a fire and a blanket and the
stars upon the plain!-Blist

Johnsons Creek, and was born IN
that little hamlet in the town OF Hart
ford, Niagara county, when most OF
the county was a wilderness. The
SHADES were among the first settlers
Henry attended the district school and
later went to local seminary.
One of Henry's schoolboy friends
was Abe Taylor, the patriarch OF
Johnson's Creek, he is now over go.
Mr.. Taylor relates that Slade, when
a mere youth, used to exhibit his
strange powers in a manner that made
their blood creep. He could make
table with a lighted lamp lean toward
him by mere motion of the hands.
The table, which he did not touch,
would incline to an angle of As de-
grees, yet the lighted lamp would
maintain it's equilibrium and never up
set. He could place his hand on top
of a piano when ri years of age and
lift both piano legs off the floor.
Over animals he presented a mar
velous influence. He was known as
great colt breaker and bull tanner
He used to entertain his young
friends by slate writing and many OF
them held him in absolute awe.
Slade left Lockport when about Il
and began his tours later. In New
York he turned away great crowds
He went to Europe and Kings and
Queens and their courts gave him
audiences. Emperor Napoleon LII.
gave him a three caret diamond. It
is said he was at one time worth
million-New York Sun.

Mr.. W. H. Grattan Flood writes:
Will you allow me to point out TO
you that the tune Of Yankee Doodle
is an old Irish jig of the early elgn-
teenth century, well known IN ireland
still as "All the Way to Galway
Your statement that it was composed
by DR.. Schuckburgh is slip. You
probably meant that he wrote the
doggerel words, which is generally
admitted, but he merely adapted his
verses to the Irish jig, which was
printed as Yankee Doodle in 1882,
and was subsequently introduced by
Arnold into his 1.-TWO to One. Lon.
