For the week ending July 81, 1905.
Des Moines, Iowa
The average temperature OF the week
has been to I degrees below normal,
with some excess of cloudiness. The
rainfall was light in the northern sec
tion and eastern half of the central sec
tion, but copious showers fell in the
west central and the southern districts.
The rain fall was timely and beneficial
to corn, potatoes, pasture and vege-
tables. In portions of the northern
half of the state these crops will
soon be in need OF additional moist
ure. Though somewhat delayed by
mists and clouds, fair progress has been
made in securing the balance of the
hay crop, harvesting oats and threshing
from the shock. Except in the north
ern counties, the oats crop is mainly in
shocks or stack, and early threshing
reports indicate good yield and quality
The harvesting of spring wheat has
been begun, and the reports are general.
ly favorable. Corn is steadily advanc.
ing in all districts, with present indi,
cations of good yield of that great
staple. The pastures afford ample feed
for grazing herds. The hay crop is
heavy, though portion has been
damaged by wet weather. The apple
crop has continually declined, though
in some localities early localities yield

Was 1t Blackmail!

Hal karr and wife, the parties who
created a sensation in this city BY
charging city MARSHAL Pryor and O. F
Tullis with having insulted Mrs. Karr
an account of which was published last
week. have failed to return to this city
to push the prosecution of the case, as
they said they would when they left
here. They went from here to Davis
City, remained there couple Of days,
then left for Missouri, and it is hardly
probable that they will ever show mp
in this city again. The more the case
is investigated, the more it looks as if
it might have been case of attempted
blackmail, and this view of the case is
strengthened by other facts.
Investigations show that Karr's repu-
tation at Osceola, his home, is none too
good. He has been twice married, his
first wife having secured divorce from
him. His present wife was born and
raised in Osceola, and so far as known
has always borne a good reputation, but
it surprised everyone when she married
Karr.
The fact that the woman laid the
brunt Of the alleged insult on Mr.. Tullis
and that he was asked to come and talk
the matter over with them, gives some
color to the claim that it was black
mailing scheme and that it was in the
hope OF securing money recompense
that it was made. Bert Tullis has lived
in Leon for many years, has accumulat-
ed considerable property, and has
always enjoyed the respect and esteem
of the people of this city and we do not
believe he ever insulted woman in his
life. 1t would take more than the un-
supported word Of a stranger to con-
vince people that he was guilty Of any
conduct unbecoming gentleman.
City Marshal Pryor, since being ap-
pointed to the office, has made the best
peace officer this city has had for years.
He has put stop to much of the drunk
enness and carousing which was dis
grace to the town and in so doing has
naturally incurred the enmity of gang
Of hoodlums who think it smart to do
anything they can to worry or hunil-
late an officer who does his duty. The
better class Of citizens are ready to
rstand by Marshal Pryor in his duties
and commend him for the good work he
has done.
There was no information filed against
either Pryor or Tullis, and it is dollars
to doughnuts that there never will be
anything more heard of the case. We
are fully satisfied that there was no
foundation for the charge against them.

w. S. Hopewell, vice president anc

very hard and successfully while east
but the blue skies, clear atmosphere
and the exhilarating and health giving
air of New Mexico are preferred by
him and he feels much better here
that he does in the sultry, If money
laden, atmosphere of Wall Street. Mr..
Hopewell authorized a representative
of the New Mexican to state that the
Albuquerque Eastern Railroad would
be completed and in running order by
January first. The contracts for the
completion of the line from Moriarty
to the Hagan coal fields and to the
city of Albuquerque have been lei to
contractors from Binghampton and
New York City, Eugene w. Jackson
and McKernan are the contractors
and will do the work They are now
constructing a line from Binghampton
to Waterville. New York. They will
commence active work on their con.
tract by the 10th of July. Contracts
will be sub-let and the labor will be
hired here. 1t Is part of the contract
that all manual labor, all teams, all
wagons, all material, except what can
not be had in the Territory, should be
furnished from the resources OF the
Territory. In a short time the Santa
Fe Central Railway, the Albuquerque
Eastern and the Hagan branch will be
merged into one corporation and will
be under one management. This has
been arranged and will be carried in.

Washington, July Notable as a

activities have brought him conspicu.
ously before the public for many
years, the news of the death of Sec.
retary Hay was received here with the
most profound regret. Although
aware of the delicate condition of Mr.
Hays health, there was a general ex.
pectation that he would rally and that
long stay In the New Hampshire
mountains would In a measure restore
his health. Mr.. Hay was never of
robust constitution but by scrupulous
care he was able to keep in fairly
good health. While his official duties
were congenial to him, yet, because
of his somewhat impaired physical
condition, he was reluctant to remain
in the cabinet and did so only at the
urgent solicitation of President Roose.
