Weather-Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, August 20, 1906
The past week was characterized by
extremely high temperatures by day
and warm nights, and the oppressive
conditions were intensified by high
percentage of humidity. The rainfall
was unusually variable in amount,
resulting from local showers. The
largest amount reported was 1866 inches
at Des Moines, most of which fell on
the morning OF the 10th. On the even
ing of the 10Th heavy downpour was
reported at DEBORAH, causing damaging
floods. Generally, the rainfall was
light, though in the larger part of the
state the moisture in the soil is suffi-
Gent for the present needs of growing
crops. For the corn crop it was the
most favorable week OF the season, and
that great staple has made satisfactory
progress toward maturity. For the
state at large the crop is as we'll ad-
vanced 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 beyond the roasting-ear stage.
Good progress has been made in stack
ing and threshing oats and wheat from
the shock. Fall blowing is in progress.
Early apples are being harvested, and
the yield is above the product of recent
years. The minor crops ere doing well.

helping himself to one of his-Robert-

"Halloa!" he said. "Why the war

Going to Bellingham's to dinner"
was the reply. why don't you buy
better cigars?"
Robertson looked his friend up and
down.
1.-THE effect isn't so bad" he said.
Anyone that didn't know you might
lake you for a gentleman. But
didn't think you boasted an evening

But didn't come down to talk
about that. I want to know II you'll

I'll see you in Jericho frst!" said
The indignant Robertson.
"Oh, very WE'LL" said Trescott. TITS

and with a choking gasp Robertson
handed over his best gold-mounted

CONTROL OF STATE is AIM.
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS GATHER AT
PEORIA FOR BATTLE.
Fight Between National Committee
man Sullivan and Followers Of
Bryan Is Begun.

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 22.-The Democrat.
&c state convention met at 1880 Tues
day for the purpose of nominating
candidates for state treasurer, state
superintendent of public instruction
and for three trustees Of the Univer-
sity of Illinois.
In reality, however, the convention
was more of fight for the control
of the state party machinery between
the faction headed by National Com.
mitteeman Roger G. Sullivan, Of Chi
cago, and the immediate followers OF
William j. Bryan, who. In successive
letters. has asked the resignation OF
Sullivan from the national committee
on the ground that 1t was improperly
obtained two years ago. Sullivan has
not only refused to resign, but he and
his friends resent what they term the
Interference of Mr.. Bryan in their
state politics. Before the convention
both sides predicted success. Sullivan
is claiming that he controlled 1.400
out of the 1865 delegates and the Bry.
an people, who are headed by Judge
Owen Thompson, of Jacksonville, and
Congressman William T. Rainey, Civ.
ing no figures, but asserting confident
ly that they controlled the situation.
They declared that unless the con.
vention followed the wishes of Mr..
Bryan and repudiated Sullivan, they
would fight to the last against any
Endorsement of Bryan by the conven.
ton. Sullivan declared, on the other
hand, that Bryan would be Endorsed
whether he liked :. or not.
The indications at the opening Of
the convention were for a long and
hard fight with superabundance o.
heated oratory.
Chairman Boeschenstein announced
that the state central committee hat
selected for chairman of the conven
ton Judge Carroll G. Boggs, of Fair
field, and for secretary Edward Cahill
of Springfield.
