Iowa Corn

At this time the prospect is that the
Iowa corn crop for the year 1906 will
amount to 400,000,000 bushels.
The last great big corn crop was in
the year 1900. But the crop of this
year gives better prospect than the
crop Of 1900 in August of that year. The
acreage of this year is larger and the
seed more carefully selected.
The non-corn growing states can
scarcely realize that Iowa is going to
produce 400,009000 bushels of yellow
corn this year. But it is a fact.
At % cents bushel the yield in
money would be S100,00O,000, half
enough to dig the Panama canal; sum
larger than the Suez canal. Iowa has
not sold any corn at % cents per bu-
shell for a number of years and the
price will be greater than that this
year, especially if the corn is fed to
cattle and hogs.
The farmer of Iowa wears a smile as
broad as Panama hat. He only asks
that the politician be made to KEEP
his mouth shut. The farmer and his
corn crop will do the rest.
Iowa is going to demonstrate for the
tiftieth time that this is the great agri
cultural state of the forty-six states
comprising the union.
The business men of Iowa can count
on a good trade, provided the politica
agitator can be made to attend to hi.
own business. This country has beer
thrown into dali times by the politica
agitator and the country should no
have such an experience again. De!

The postoffice department has made
ruling to the effect that no member of
rural mail carriers family shall accom-
pany him on the trip over his route.
The ruling will be very unpopular with
the carriers and not increase the effici-
ency of the service. Occasionally a
carrier likes to take his wife or child
with him on the trip and there seems
no good reason why he should be de-
prived of the privilege. AS it is the
carrier rides all the time and his family
never gets ride, because when he
comes in from twenty-five mile trip
the team is too tired to take the family
out for ride. The department makes
many good regulations but occasionally
brings out one that looks foolish.

afternoon, saying that he wanted to see

Nooquet but did not accompany him on
his trip. 1t was late in the afternoon when
the balloon was cast of and at hat time
there was a light northwesterly wind The
balloon assembled slowly and then drifted
in a southeasterly direction and later
crossed the Fast River and went out on
Long Island. At a late hour last night
nothing had been heard of the balloonist
and it was thought at the Aero Club that
he must have landed somewhere on Long
Island.

Mr.. M%oilenhauer's Residence at Bay Shore
MAY BE Wrecked.

BABYLON, L. l., April 3.-The handsome
country residence of j. Adolph M%oltenhaur
at Bay Shore is aground on mud flats, but
is resting easily. 1t will probably be
foated at the next high tide. The building
is four stories in height with a tower that
runs up a story or two more. 1t is the
show residence in the most fashionable
part of Bay Shore.
1t stood near the Great South Bay, but
Mr.. Moltenhaur decided that a site which
he owns across an inlet was more desirable.
He decided to move the residence from one
side of the inlet to the other. 1t would have
been a tedious journey to go around by
shore, so the house was lifted on skids and
hauled out on five big scows which had been
dashed together, and upon which a frame
work of timbers had been built.
The wind, however, has been off shore
for some days and the tide has been very
low. To-day soundings indicated that it
would be possible to float the outfit across
the inlet and a shaft was made. A shoal
was struck and when the tide went out it
left the outfit in the mud. The house

terday in Special Sessions for petty lar
ceny, The girl was arrested March 20 on
the complaint Of Mrs. Cara Melbourne,
another actress, of AZ West Twenty-seventh

a waist and a ring valued at s21.
She told presiding Justice Olmsted she
had been on the stage a year, having Joined
a theatrical company in Memphis upon the
death Of an aunt with whom she lived.
Her parents nave been dead eight years,
she said, and she has beer with her unit
ever since.
When Elsie, whose doll face and great
blue eyes attracted the attention of every
body in the court room, pleaded guilty
Mrs. Melbourne asked if she couldn't with
draw the charge and take her home with
her. Elsie was "such a dear" she said,
that she would like to adopt her. Then q
number of women who had been taking
a lively interest in the case came forward
and asked Clerk Fuller if they couldn't
adopt Elsie, too. Fuller passed the prop
~ositions on to Justice Olmsted, but he an
nounced that she would in all probability
be turned over to her uncle, Charles An
derson OF Brooklyn. The girl was re-
manded to the Tombs until to-day.
