Grasses and Small Grains In
Western Part of the
State Suffer
RAINFALL
DEFICIENT
Three inches Less Moisture Than Nor
NAL, Two Inches of the Amount Be-
ing Charged to the Month of May =
Corn Not Vet Damased-News Of
Iowa.

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, June 16.-Lack of
sufficient rainfall since the latter part
of April is showing an effect on the
grasses and small grain crops in this
vicinity, with prospects for short
yield in these lines unless relief is soon
furnished by the elements. In spite of
the cool nights and rather drouthy con-
ditions. corn is making splendid
growth
The distinction at this time between
crops that are doing we'll and those
that are not, according TO the state
ments of Well-infolmed farmers, lies
in the possibility of cultivating the
ground. In fields devoted to grass and
small grain. the ground is packed un-
usually hard, al:lo there Is a reason
able amount of moisture below the sur
face
Inasmuch as the dearth of rainfall
has not been such as 10 affect The
growth of corn. farmers find the pres
ent season presenting distinct advan-
tages for handling that crop. II has
been a comparatively easy problem to
keep the fields clear of weeds. as prac-
tically no time has been lost on ac-
count of unfavmable weather since
corn was planted.
Present indications are that the crop
of timothy and clover hay will be much
below the average. In some fields
small patches show normal growth
where the ground happens to be some
what loose. The same condition APP
plies to oats and wheat. Altho many
of the farmers are optimistic as to the
grain crops, they admit that the
growth has been very slow during the
past few weeks.
Rainfall Three Inches Short.
The rainfall for this section since
March / has totalled eight inches,
which is three inches short of normal.
Almost two inches of this shortage is
charged to the month of May. During
the past week local showers relieved
conditions in some portions of the
state, but in nearly all sections rain is
very much needed, as it is here.
During the month of August, last
year there was some injury to crops
along the Missouri bottoms because of
dry Weatner, Dll lnefe mas Deen no
general complaint of drouth in the
state since 1901, the season that made
itself famous by smashing all hot
weather records. The damage that
year was not extensive, except in sec
tions, and some of the northern coun-
ties of Iowa had the best corn crops in
their history.
The years 1894 and 1895 are recalled
by farmers as the ones furnishing the
best proof as tc, the possibilities of a
drouth in Iowa, altho late fall rains
saved 1904 from being complete fail
ure. In July 1905, two days of real hot
winds contributed to the destructive
influences of dry and sun scorchine
season, and the corn crop was entirely
ruined in some sections of the state.

BUSINESS MEN COMPLAIN
Church Ladies Took Advantage of the
Crowds Brought by Concerts Paid
for by the Merchants, and Latter
Ask the Council to Protect Them in
Their Rights.
Special to Times Republican.

Hedrick, June 16.-Politics have been
local proposition that has come up
as the result of the church societies
taking advantage of the crowds drawn
by the band concerts furnished by the
subscriptions of merchants. to make "A
few dimes and nickels for support of
the churches. Not long ago the bust
ness men subscribed to a fund for the
purpose of securing the services of
the band for a concert every Saturday
night during the summer on Main
street. The church societies saw an
opportunity to take advantage of the
crowds drawn by the concerts and be-
gan to give ice cream suppers etc. The
concerts claimed that these church
affairs were dividing the patronage
which should go to them and they Pc
titioned the council to enforce an ordi-
nance that provided that such places
be made to pay a license.
The matter was fully discussed by
the council, and finally the following
resolution was adopted:
Whereas. the business men have
and paid for open air band
concerts in Hedrick on Saturday eve
nings, and thereby bring large crowds
of people to town, and
Whereas, certain societies have
taken advantage of these occasions to
hold ice cream and other socials on
Main street on Saturday evenings, for
financial gain, therefore be it
Resolved, that we ask these soci-
cites to cease giving these socials on
Main street on Saturday evenings, as
the business men are paying for the
concerts and it is unjust to them for
these socials to be held. We are re-
luctant to enforce the law upon the
matter and ask the societies to desist
from giving the socials on Main
street"

Council Bluffs, June 16.-George and

ing them with having been leaders Of

Jail at Corning in 1887 and lynchei

were bound over to the grand jury.
Each gave bonds in the sum of $1,000
and was released.
The information as it was presented
today, bore the signature of Mrs. Nc
kenzie, the widow of the man who
was lynched, but she was not in town
today. 1t is said she is making her
home at Creston. One of the detectives
who, It is said, worked up the evidence
upon which the arrests were made, WAS
present at the hearing, but left town
soon after it had been concluded.
Feeling in the community over the
matter is growing in intensity, and 10
one can be found who believes the man
a. guilty of the crime or that they
can be convicted. Sympathy. SO far at
least as it is expressed, is all on the
side of the Bickford brothers, who have
found themselves in such an unpl,as-
an position after the lapse of nineteen
years after the commission of tie
crime for which attempts are being
made to have them answer.
1t is regarded as extremely doubtful
about the grand jury ever returning an
indictment against them.
