A LUCKY WRECK
Freight Trains Meet on River Bridge
Near Steamboat Rock, But Crews
Escape by Jumping and Engines
and Train Stay on Bridge.

A most lucky wreck. which might
stroyed any amount of property, oc-
CURED on the Iowa river bridge at
$3.50 o'clock, when freights Nos 40,
south bound and 81 north bound col
lided. The engine crews of both
trains escaped injury by jumping be-
fore the trains came together. and
altho both engines were damaged they
and the cars that they pulled STAYED
on the bridge. The trains had meeting
orders at Abbott, but when No. 40 ar
rived there it was given orders to meet
No. 81 at Steamboat Rock, the order
saying that No. 81 would receive its
orders at Steamboat Rock Engineer
Swanson, suspecting that No 81 might
pull into Steamboat Rock, and not
knowing of the order it was to receive
there, might run by the station before
it could stop. halted his train some
distance north of the station, and near

which was pushing from behind, and
altho the signal board was out En-
gineer Steadman was unable to stop
and passed the station, going down
grade at a good speed, toward No. 40.
Engineer Swanson saw the train COM
ing and started to back up When he
saw a collision on the bridge was in
evitable he and his fireman jumped,
as did also Engineer Steadman, and
his fireman. The trains came together
and the force of the impact lifted a
coal rack on top of box car, in the
north bound train. cutting the air
hose and setting the brakes, which
stopped it. The crew of the pushing
engine knew nothing of the collision
until after it occurred.
The Wrecker was sent from this city
and the track was blocked all night,
owing to the difficulty of working
on the bridge. The bridge was some
what damaged, but it was soon re-
paired.

Threshing Operations Begun
and Indicate a Bumper Crop
OF Oats and Wheat
THE QUALITY NEVER BETTER
Some Fields Will Show Record Break
ing Yields-Hay Crop Mucs, Larger
Than Anticipated Before Cutting
Operations commenced.-corn Max
ing Rapid Strides and Immense Crop
Assured.

Threshing operations have been COM
me1rced in Marshall county, with the
result that both oats and winter wheat
are yielding heavier than anticipated.
more than an average crop, in face of
the fact that a few weeks ago, when
the drouth threatened to become seri-
Gus, predictions were made that small
grains were damaged beyond recovery.
Timely rains later demonstrated the
wonderful recuperative powers of Iowa
soil.
While there are few fields of oats
that were hit by the dry weather just
at the wrong time and while the straw
in all the fields is short, an average
cror r the county will be greatly
exceeded
G. W. Mace, of Logan township, has
not threshed his oats as yet, but he
makes the prediction that his field will
yield from seventy-five to eighty BUSH
els per acre.
w. F. Koontz, who owns farm in
Taylor township, says his oats will
yield heavier and are of better quality
than ever before in his farming expert
ence.
Similar reports come from all Sec
tons of the county regarding oats and
also regarding winter wheat, of which
there was an unusually large acreage
this year. Will II. Wilson has har-
vested and threshed eighty-f1ve acres
of winter wheat on his farm just north
of the city The wheat yielded twenty
four bushels per acre and tested at
sixty-thr pounds, which is considered
an extraordinary showing for this sec
ton of Iowa.
Haying operations were practically
completed in this county last week
and those who predicted, several weeks
ago, only half crop and that prices
next winter would range from SIS to
$40 per ton, will be compelled to re-
wise their figures. With few exceptions
the hay lands have yielded an average
crop. 1t is of excellent quality and was
put by under most favorable condi-
tions
Corn is booming. Never in the his
tory of Marshall county were the pros
poets better for an immense crop Of
A / quality. The recent heavy rain
came at the right time to be of greatest
benefit to the growing crop, and Jack
Frost will have to hurry if he catches
even the late planted fields. Conditions
in this section are more favorable than
in counties east and south where corn
had commenced to fire because of the
Crouth

BROWNE ASKED TO COME.
Merchants Association Postpones Ac-

Merchants Association Postpones Ac-
ton on lnterurban Contract.
meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Retail Merchants Associa-
ton was held in the council chamber
this morning for the purpose of con-
sidering the contract submitted by
Hamilton Browne of Chicago for the
building of an interurban from this
city to connection with the Milwau-
kee railroad. While the committee
does not find anything Objectionable in
the contract as presented, there are
several points on which there might
be some objections and questions
raised. In order to have the fullest
understanding it was decided to re-
quest Mr.. Browne to visit MARSHALL
town on Monday of next week, for the
purpose of discussing the question in
every phase.
President Ingledue and the other
members of the merchants association
desire to secure an interurban, but in
doing so they wish to protect the
people in every way and to satisfy
them fully that they will receive some
thing in return for the tax it is pro-
posed to vote.

covering the period from about August
20 to the close of the season, Septem-
Der 23. These changes are contem-
plated by President Peclsham and they
have been made in a revised schedule
prepared. The changes are deemed
necessary in order that mileage may
be saved travelling to and from Clin-
ton If the changes contemplated are
made it will bring the Labor day
games between Clinton and the
Brownies to this city instead of being
played at Clinton. AS originally sche-
duled this day was giver to Boone, and
assumed by Clinton, but following La
Dor day Clinton plays in the northern
half of the circuit and the jump would
be expensive. President. Peckham has
mailed circular letters to the directors
of the league on the subject, but has
received no replies as yet.

Many Storms Predicted For Mex

NuOuSu Wy s''SUSs
The forecast of Hicks for the month

He predicts storm periods during prac-
tically all of the month His forecast is
as follows:
Reactonary storm period central on
3D. Sd and 4th. Within forty Eight
hours of noon on 4th, marked electric
al and seismic disturbances over many
quarters of the globe; attended by
wave of intense warmth and low bar

ing from 18th to 11th Greatly increased

heat.
Regular storm period 10Th to 23d In
dications point to heaviest and most
general storms in August during and
next Sunday, 10Th to 23d, with crisis on
goth and 21st These dates are to be
center of seismic period, hence max
imum earthquake tendencies centering
on or about 18th. The best outlook for
rains over the great grain belts and
other sections is during this period.
Reasonable care should be taken
against violent hail storms. Phenom-
enally high barometer may follow,
northwesterly gales ard unreasonable
change to cooler, with frosts along the
northern tier Of states.
Reactonary storm period central on
25th, 18th and 9th, and from 25th to
2Sth will eliminate in high tempera-

In the second game, Radebaugh,
with the exception of the seventh inn

failed miserably in continuing win

ebaugh, was found freely, twelve hits
enabling eight Marshalltown runs to
tally. The locals scored once in the

During the other sessions, the effect

PEST HOUSE BEING MOVED.
Detention Hospital Being Taken to
Point North of the River.

The work of moving the detention
hospital from it's present location at
the north end of Fifth street to the
city grounds north OF the river, for
merly known as Pierce's park, is III
progress. The city council ordered the
removal of the hospital several months
ago, on petition of residents of the
northwest section of the city, and the
work has now been undertaken. Some
of the smaller buildings belonging to
the hospital have been taken across the
river by way of the Center street
bridge, but the main building will be
taken over on a temporary bridge
erected for the purpose. The work has
not been undertaken sooner because it
was desired to await low water in the
river. thus making it less difficult to
bridge the stream.
