Des Moines, Iowa
The past week YVES characterized ty
extremely high temperatures by day
aad warm nights, .snd the oppressive
conditions were intensified by a high
percentage of humidity. The rainfall
was unusually variable in the amount
resulting from local showers. The
largest amount reported was 3.65 inches
at Des Moines, most of which fell the
morning Of the 10th. On the evening
of the 10th heavy downpour was re-
ported at Decorah, causing damaging
floods. Generally, the rainfall was light
though in the larger part of the state
the moisture in the soil is sufficient for
the present needs Of growing crops.
For the corn crop it was the most fav-
orabie week of the season, and that
great staple has made satisfactory pro-
gress toward maturity. For the state
at large the crop is as well advanced as
usual at the close of the second decade
in August. The stand is above the
average, and the stalks are heavily
cared. Reports indicate that in early
planted fields the ears are passing be-
yond the roasting ear stage. Good pro-
gress has been made in stacking and
threshing oats and wheat from the
shock. Fall plowing is in progress.
Early apples are being harvested, and
the yield is above the product of recent
years. The minor crops are doing we'll.

BAD FIGHT IN MORGAN
John Robinson and Albert Hubbard,
BrOthers-in-Idw are both badly
Injured in a fight Monday.

Two men in bed, both under the care
of physician, is the result Of bad
fight which occurred down in Morgan
township Monday evening, the partici-
pants being John Robinson and his
brother-in-law, Albert Hubbard. Par
ticulars of the affair are hard to secure,
as there were no witnesses to the fight
except the participants and James
Hubbard, and each side tells different
story. The facts as near as we could
obtain them are that since the death of
M. L. Hubbard, the father of Albert
Hubbard and the father of Mrs. John
Robinson, there has been considerable
ill-feeling engendered over the settling
up of the estate, and especially be-
tween Robinson and Albert Hubbar rd.
On Monday Albert Hubbard and his
brother James Hubbard were in Leon
on business and on their way home they
met John Robinson in the road. Here
the story differs. The Hubbards insist
that Robinson attacked them with a
knife and they we're forced to use a
fence board in defense, while Robinson
claims that he was first attacked by
Albert Hubbard who used club on him
and he only used his knife to prevent
receiving mortal injuries.
But no matter who was the aggressor
there seems to have been bloody fight,
both men being severely wounded. AL
bert Hubbard was cut three times with
knife, one wound across his hip being
fourteen inches long and an inch and a
half deep, while Robinson was terribly
beaten, and it is feared he is injured in
ternally, as he mas been vomiting blood
and is in critical condition. After the
men had both been disabled, Hubbard
managed to get home through the fields
with the assistance of his brother, hav-
ing been forced to abandon their team
in the road, and Robinson was found
lying in the road by Ed Mcdowell who
put him in his wagon and drove him
home. DIR. E. G. Macy, of Pleasanton,
was summoned to attend to both men.
While the knife wounds received by
Hubbard are severe, unless blood
poisoning should set in he will recover.
Robinson is suffering terribly from the
beating he received, and the physician
considers his condition very serious, as
he continues to vomit blood in consider
able quantities. No arrests have as yet
been made, owing to the fact that both
men are in bed, but county attorney
Kelley will go down to Morgan this v . k
to make full investigation of the affair.
Both Robinson and Hubbard are good
substantial farmers, and were not con-
sidered quarrelsome, but bad feeling
has been brewing between them over
the estate for some time and seems to
have increased rather than diminished
as time went by. The men live on ad-
joining farms, and all concerned are
very reticent in regard to the trouble,
each insisting that the other fellow was
the one who started the fight, and that
he acted only in self defense.

The Gentry Circus.

The Gentry Bros. dog and pony circus
exhibited in Leon Tuesday, and it drew
large crowd to town. The circus ar
rived at half past four in the morning,
coming from Centerville, where they
exhibited on Monday, playing in opposi-
tion to the Chautauqua. On account of
the long distance from the depot to the
show grounds at the base ball park, and
the hard pull up the hill for the ponies
which are used with the circus, the
parade did not start until after eleven
o'clock and by that time the streets
we're crowded. The beautiful ponies
We're big attraction and the attend
ance at both afternoon and evening per-
formance was good, and entirely salts
factory to the management. The show
is considerably larger than when they
last appeared in this city, carrying in
addition to 94 ponies, nearly fifty dogs,
goodly number of monkeys, troupe of
four performing elephants, and three
camels. A large part of the ring per-
formance is given by ponies and dogs
and they are trained to perfection. The
troupe of Jap performers were the best
ever seen in this city, the little fellow
who is only seven years old, being a
wonder. He has only been over from
Japan for few weeks. 1t will be news
to many of our readers to know that
while the troupe of Japs look like they
were all of one family, there are no two
of them who are in any way related.
These performers are trained in Japan
and then the children are farmed out.
The little seven year old is here all
alone, being leased by the head man of
the troupe, who is responsible for his
safe return at the expiration of his con-
tract. Another feature which is worthy
of special mention was the work of the
Loretta trio, in aerial work. The two
little girls are twins eleven years old
and the boy their brother is two years
younger, but as he is about the same

and are the best children performers in
this line we ever saw. The Gentry
Bros. started in the show business
seventeen years ago with few trained
dogs and they have been very success
full, now having three shows on the road
exactly alike, and own all told over 400
of the finest trained Shetland ponies in
the world. The poorest of these ponies
would sell readily on the market for
$100 and they range in value up to more
than 81 900 each. The smaller the pony
the more expensive it is. In a CONVEX
sation with one OF the Gentry brothers.
he told us that ponies were very high
now, and there was great demand for
them. A few years ago when all the
children were riding bicycles, the de-
mand for ponies fell off, and they were
pretty cheap but the bicycle craze has
passed and the ponies are again in
great demand and at good stiff prices
The show went from here to Bethany
where they exhibited on Wednesday
and then double back to Osceola on
Thursday.

NEW HARTARD BUILDINGS.
Those of Medical School Costing Nenrly

Boston, Sept. 25.-The magnificent new buildings of the Harvard Medical school erected in the Fenway at a cost of nearly $5,OOO,OOO were dedicated to- day in the presence of large number of scholars, scientific men and men prominent in public life. The event at- tracted to this city one of the most dis tinguished and remarkable gatherings of scientific minds ever brought togeth- CT in this city, not only Harvard men, but representatives from medical socie- ties and universities abroad and in this country, with Governor Curtis Guild jr., and staff representing the common wealth of Massachusetts. Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador, was present, and a cablegram of congratulations from the imperial military academy of St. Petersburg, the medical training school for the Russian army and navy, was read.
