AN EMERALD STATE.
Over Iowa Pastures and Meadows
Show Luxurious Growth.

Des Moines. Ia. May 25.-The report
of the bureau of crops and weather for
the past week is as follows:
The daily average temperature Of
the week was irom . TO degrees be-
low normal. with an excess of coludi-
ness. The rainfall was moderate. ex-
cept in few localities but there was
considera BILE excess of moisture in all
districts. caused by heavy rains of the
preceding week. Field work was gem
orally resumed on driest lands about
the 18th. and considerable progress has
been -la - in planting corn. In the
northwest district the bulk OF the corn
acreage has been planted: in other
parts OF the state this work is about
one-half TO three-fourths completed.
In all sections the low and undrained
fields are quite wet. and more than the
usual amount of rep!anting iwli be
done. On dry and warm lands germina-
ton has been fairly good.
Pastures and meadows show luxuri-
ant growth. and small grain crops are
generally doing we'll. Warmer weather
is needed for rapid growth. Reports
are not favorable as to the cherry crop.
but other fruits are doing fairly we'll.
With normal weather in the future.
he general crop conditions will be very

CROP NEWS NOT GOOD.
Conditions During the Past week

UnfavorabIe

Washington, May 25.--rhe weather
bU eaus weekly crop summary fo.-
lows.
Weather conditions for the week end
ing May 81 have been generally un-
favorable except in portions OF the mid
upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys.
the southern Rocky mountain region
and California.
Frosts. more or less damaging. oc-
Cured in New England. the northern
middle Atlantic states. i'm Ohio. the
northern Rocky mountain region. in
Oregon and Washington. Further de-
lay in corn planting is reported from
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. Much re-
planting is necessary in the first and
last named states as we'll as in Iowa
and Nebra ska.
Planting is nearly completed in south
;ern Missouri and about three-fourthS
northern Missouri. Planting is about
finished i'm Nebraska and central Ili-
nois and this work is being vigorously
pushed in Indiana aud Kentucky.
On dry warm soils in Iowa germina-
tion is fairly good. but corn needs
warmth and sunshine to insure salts
factory growth. Cut worms are damag-
of the middle and south Atlantic states.
while the crop is suffering from lack
of cultivation in the last named district,
and states of the lower Mississippi val
ley.
The general condition of oats is sat
isfactory. The crop as a whole has
made good growth although retarded
by cool. cloudy weather in Minnesota
during the forepart of the week and by
floods in portions of Ohio. while some
scattered fields are thin i'm Nebraska
and South Dakota and considerable
rust is reported from northern Texas
Illinois and Missouri. More favorable
weather conditions during the latter
part of the week caused spring wheat
to improve rapidly This crop is now
making satisfactory progress except
on low lands in North Dakota. where it
was slightly damaged by flooding. and
some scattered fields, late sown, are
thin In South Dakota.

NEALY A JAIL DELIVERY.
Two Prisoners Planned Escape from
Miner County Instit,,tion

Miner County lnstitution.
Sioux Falls S D.. May 25.-Two pris-
oners named Harry Eades and C. Will
son owens. who have been in the Miner
county Jail for some time while await
ing trial at an approaching term Of
state circuit court on the charge Of
horse stealing made a desperate at
tempt to escape.
Edward Clark sheriff OF Miner coun-
ty, who was Instrumental in the arrest
of the two men, was caring for the
prisoners himself He entered the jail
With breakfast for the two prisoners
and after opening the cell door was
suddenly attacked by Fades, who is
altbreed Indian. Fades splang upon
the sheriff aud endeaNored To throw a
quantity of pepper in his eyes for the
purpose of binding him. bu, the officer
proved too much for his assailaut
The sheriff defeated the purpose of
his aSsailant by swiftly turning his
head so the pepper could NOT enter his
eyes. Then the sheriff landed heavily
with his right behind the ear of the
hafbreed, knocking him out before his
fellow prisoner could but, in" Sheriff
Clark, realizing tina, he had desperate
men To deal With. had always been on
MS guard against an attempt to
cape, aud by his Vigilance and pres
ehce OF mind prevented the escape Of
tu' tNo men.
His vigilance Will not be relaxed i'll
the slightest unit! Fades and owens are
landed behind the oars of the Sioux
Fails pentantiary. There is little doubt
that they will be convicted. as they
have practically confessed the crime
with which they are charged.
After stealing two valuable horses
and wagon i'm Miner county last fall
they drove through to Winnipeg. where
the stolen property was sold. With the
cash thus secured they departed for
Seattle. apparently corf'dent tset they
would never be followed and arrested.
But Sheriff Clark was determined 10
aDprehend them. and i'm accomplishing
his purpose proved himself something
of detective. Before coming 10 Miner
county the halfbreed and his comrade
had been in the Bonesleel country.
They left trunk at Rosebud agency.
and after reaching Seattle sent word
To Rosebud agency to have the trunk
forwarded to them there.
Sheriff Clark WAS informed of this,
having learned about The trunk. and
had the men arrested al Seattle. He
and deputy brought the TWO prisoners
back TO South Dakota early III the pres
