Weather=Crop Bulletin
Des Moines. Sep. IL. 'O6,

Des MONIES, Sep. III, 'O6. -
High temperatures prevailed
the first three and the last two
days of the week, and the aver
age was above the normal for
the middle of September. At
the central station the average
daily excess of temperature
was nearly s degrees. Light
showers were reported in all
districts on the 18th and 18th,
and very copious showers were
quite general throughout the
state on the 18th and 18th.
The rains were timely and
beneficial to pastures, especially
in the southern half of the
state. Reports indicate that
corn cutting is in progress in
all districts, and that more
than the usual percentage of
the valuable fodder will be
saved in shock or silo. AS the
stage of ripeness, the condi-
tions are quite variable, but it
is evident that over 80 per cent
of the crop is beyond danger of
material injury by frost, and
the full crop is likely to be
practically safe before the
close of September. Damage
by windstorms has been less
than usual. The soil is gener-
ally in excellent condition for
blowing. Some progress is re-
ported in seeding fall wheat
and rye. ard the acreage of
wheat is likely to be increased
in the western districts, where
the yield has been excellent
this year. AS a whole, this has
been. an exceptionally favorable
crop season.

Dimmick & Dimmick brought
into their store last week some
apples from the farm of George
Dimmick, which was recently
sold for a high figure. There
were some five apples on one
branch and they weighed nearly
one pound apiece. There was
also another branch which had
so many apples on it that the
strain was too much. When
this land was sold the price
was thought too high, but there
is no doubt the price was all
right, owing to the amount of
fruit grown there.

Much Trackage Washed Out

Sioux City, Ia, Sep. 1s.
Officials of the Omaha railroad
stated tonight that eighteen
miles of their roadbed had been
carried out by floods on the
Blair, Harrington and Norfolk
lines. On the Great Northern
seven miles of track are washed
out in the vicinity of Jackson.
Whole townships of crops seem
to have been inundated b,
water and the crop loss will b.
very large. The loss to rail
roads, in the way of repairs
and loss of traffic, together
with that of crops, is estimated
all the way from $500,OOO to
81, 100000.
A whole train of live stock
has been mafooned since the
flood began. A total of 3.8
inches of water fell, causing
little Logan Creek to become a
raging river before which small
buildings and railroad tracks
were swept away.

SECRETARY HUNT

Same Each Year OH an Av=
eragc Since Its Organization
as the Hawl<eye Insurance
Company Now Charges.
Woodbine, Ia, Sept. II, 1906.
Did you members of the Hair
rison County Mutual notice in
your paper last week, over the
signature of your secretary,
Mr.. G. w. Hunt, that he ac-
knowledges that the average
charges by the Mutual for the
IS years of its existence was
$3.50 each year, being the same
price that | would charge you
in either company represent?
Where does their CHEAP In
surance come in? This is the
first time that any OFFICER
of the Mutual has been honest
enough to ACKNOWLEDGE
THIS. Truth will como to light
sooner or later.
Mr.. Hunt forgot to tell you
that the Mutual charged you
$3.50 on a $1,000 policy on COM
mon. property (including policy
FEE) for the years of 1903-4-5.
a I'd in 1903, $500 per $1,000
on Live Stock, and in 190A-5,
$3.50 per $1,000, and this is
just what | have been telling
the Harrison county FARMERS
for the past three and one-half
years; and MOST of the Mutual
10 Ulcers and Directors have
been calling me a LIAR, but
now that their good secretary
Mr.. e. W. Hunt, acknowledged
in several Of the county pape rs
OVER HIS OWN SIGNATURE
that my statements are TRUE,
lit makes me feel quite jub:-
liant, and ought to make most
of you Farmers in Harrison
county feel like quitting the
Mutual, and quit paying them
from $3.50 to $500 per $1,000
as you have the past three
years, and take your Insurance
out in the Hawkeye or Des
Moines company, where you
know it will only cost you $3.50
per year for a 81, 900 policy for
Fire and Lightning.
Yours for the CHEAPEST
AND BEST FIRE INSUR-
ANCE in Harrison county.

Miss Meenie C. Reynard left
this morning for her home in
West Ewell, Surrey, England,
after having been in the Valley
the guest of DR.. and Mrs. De-
Wore for the past three months.
They met Miss Reynard some
years ago while travelling on
the continent and she promised
them at that time she would
come over and make them a
visit. This spring she decided
to come and has enjoyed her
self thoroughly while here. She
has made many friends during
he1 stay and has taken in all
the sights possible, having made
many side trips. 1t is certainly
interesting to one who has
never visited the United States
to come here and be able to
so long a stay, and Miss
Reynard will no doubt have
many pictures for her "scrap"
book. We wish for her a pleas
ant journey home.

RUSSO BRITISH ALLIANCE
GRAND DUKE MICHAEL, BROTHER
OF CAR, TO MARRY NIECE
OF KING EDWARD.

st. Petersburg, Oct. S.-A marriage
has been arranged between the Grand
Duke Michael, only brother of EN-.
peror. Nicholas, and Princess Patricia
Of Connaught, niece of King Edward.
The betrothal occurred during the
grand dukes recent trip to Copen-
hagen from Scotland, from which he
has just returned.
From Copenhagen Grand Duke Mich
ael went directly to join the imperial
party in Finnish waters and receive
his brothers formal approval of the
engagement. He was heartily congrat-
ulated by all the members of the i'm
perial family. He will leave Russia
in day or two for London, where,
after securing the consent of King
Edward, the betrothal will be formally
announced
The last visit of Grand Duke Mich
ael to London was during the Boer
war, when feeling ran high, and he
was received with some hostility, but
his approaching marriage with the
most popular. of the English prin.
cesses will, it is expected, inspire a
different welcome.
According to the Russian custom it
will be necessary for Princess Patricia
to embrace the orthodox Russian faith,
but the difference from the Anglican
church is so small as to present no
insuperable objections.
